Dinesty Chinese Restaurant

Dinesty Chinese on Urbanspoon

Open for almost two years now, the name is a clever play on Dynasty..it’s also not chinese, it’s actually more Taiwanese and Shanghainese food.

The kitchen is clearly displayed behind glass windows, so you can watch the chefs cook your food, flames flying out underneath the woks. No picture from me because the restaurant was pretty packed at the time and I want to avoid taking pictures of other customers.

Everyday of the week they have specials. It’s displayed on the door. Wednesdays are the best, order a bowl of Beef Noodle Soup and get 6 potstickers free. You can also have it to go so you don’t have to wait for seats as they can get really busy sometimes.

New menus! They’ve put in pictures too, so even before your food comes you can start drooling.

Come here for

  • xiao long baos [soupy dumplings]

Service – Pretty standard for a chinese restaurant.

Like the look of the picture-heavy menu booklet. The XLB look good here, will definitely have to try it out…

[...] Yay, that means I don’t have to pay! After they threw out a couple suggestions, such as Dinesty Chinese Restaurant, which I nixed because I’ve already been there a lot, we ended up at Top Shanghai Cuisine [...]
