Read More On Citysearch robonik 5/1/2010 - friendly, nice atmosphere, new restaurant space, parking, super foodI started out with the Lychi Martini which was FABULOUS. The food also was great. Orange Chicken was crispy and the sauce was decadent. The steamed fish was very nice as well, although not quite as much flavor. The servers were helpful friendly and on top of things. I've been here quite a few times and am always pleased with the food and service.

Also, they make this special fish dish which is amazing. I never had fish like this anywhere else. The sause is just delicious. Very nice and inviting atmosphere. The staff is really friendly.
Read More On Citysearch coolpop 11/10/2008 - Best Kung- Pao Chicken in Los FelizMy fiance and i aren't to crazy about going out of the normal chinese restaurants(we have our faves)... but we were lazy and decided to do a close by lunch delivery. I researched some of the spots in our area and found some pretty good reviews on the C.D Restaurant. So we took a chance and ordered out. We had the Kung- Pao Chicken and Dynasty Lo Mein. It was awesome. I'm not a huge fan of chicken...
Read More On Citysearch fdguru78 8/29/2008 - Easily the worst
This was by far the worst chinese food or any other other food that I have had since moving to LA. I read about this place in Zagat and was excited to order some good food. What I experienced was a sick joke to my sense of taste. Absolutely disgusting! The delivery bag was leaking when I got it, the delivery guy did not even attempt to use the buzzer to my building, forcing me to get the food, d...
Read More On Citysearch Lmcg 6/18/2008 - Good Chinese food with Humble BeginningsHave you heard about what happened to Chi Dynasty's old location? I say old location because they are now at 1813 Hillhurst Ave, a few blocks south from where they used to be. Apparently the land lord pushed out Jonathan Chi and got some of his workers to partner and open a new restaurant called "The Palace." It makes me sick to see how they have tried to emulate Chi Dynasty so much. The menu is ...
Read More On Citysearch houseonhill 1/1/2008 - Best Chinese Chicken Salad in Town!My family has been coming here for years - great spot for a large group of picky eaters (the menu is huge!) Everything we've had here is good, large portions, healthier than most Chinese places. TRY THE CHINESE CHICKEN SALAD - the menu states it's the best in town, and I wholeheartedly agree! Service can be gruff, but I've never had any mishaps like some of the other reviewers ( then again, I wo...
Read More On Citysearch paulinask 11/26/2007 - favorite chinese place in LAi was floored with how friendly the entire staff was! from the valet to the hostess to the entire wait staff. everyone bent over backwards to be welcoming. i loved the food! yes, the orange chicken was fantastic, just like a previous reviewer said. and half the customers knew Tony by name! he made sure to introducer himself to us as newcomers. great place for a group dinner!
Read More On Citysearch twnk4 7/29/2007 - Talk about horrible and snotty service
My friend kept telling us to try this placed because her friend could not stop talking about how great it is. We decided to go there just to try it. Personally I'm not to crazy about trying different Chinese restaurants since I'm so used to P.F. Chang's and Panda Inn. The waiter, not sure what his name was, charges to our table and without a hello asks us if we would like to order anything to d...
Read More On Citysearch agaladzhyan 5/11/2007 - greatOrange chicken is the best I've had anywhere. I usually have the same waiter, a pretty distinguished, quiet gentleman in a tux, never seen him be snotty or had any snotty waiters at Chi dynasty as some have reported.
They have this dish, I call them chicken tacos not sure the chinese name, but great for people avoiding starches and carbs, it's chicken in a lettuce leaf, sounds boring but it's on...
Read More On Citysearch bronsonfelizgirl 2/27/2007 - terrible experiencemy boyfriend and i, both longtime vegetarians, were excited to try a new local chinese place. we stopped in and ordered lunch for take-out. fried tofu and broccoli, two soups and a large rice. we let the hostess know we were veggie, and specifically asked if the soups were both vegetarian. she assured us, and the order was ready in about five minutes. we were out the door for just under $18....
Read More On Citysearch mmillar 12/31/2006 - Poor customer service, average food, high prices
We went to Chi Dynasty with the intent to have our Rehearsal Dinner here. My friend had recommended it. The decor is definitely old school. The waiter we had was very snotty and unhelpful. We got to the restaurant at 5:30 and ordered 2 appetizers and 2 main entrees. One appetizer came pretty fast but the second one came at 6:20 and the entrees were still not served. We asked for ice water and the...
Read More On Citysearch sabeana 12/26/2006 - Great chinese food, great serviceChi Dynasty is one of the best chinese food restaurants.
Everything is totally fresh. Get the Sizzling Rice Soup, Orange Chicken, or Aromatic Shrimp. Any of their specialities are great! The green beans are delicious too. The servers are great and have been there a long time. They also make great mixed drinks which is a bit strange, but they're good.
They may charge a little extra for ...

Read More On Citysearch michaelmarks54 12/16/2006 - I didn't care for it...but you may. :)Chi Dynasty is what I consider an "old school" Chinese restaurant...like those you'd see in films from the 50's. Very nicely decorated and spacious restaurant with friendly and attentative staff. My friend loved the food: wanton soup and a chicken and veggie dish. I had sauteed broccoli and string beans, but didn't care for it...it was rather smokey with a buttery taste; again, my friend liked...
Read More On Citysearch newjerseydiva 9/7/2006 - I happen to love this place...Outside of China town... this is the best chinese food that I've had, period. The waiters have NEVER been snotty to me, and I always have polite attentive service.
No, you won't get tea in a teapot. Its better, flavorwise, since its fresh and loose leaf, not from a tea bag... its a bit hard to drink until you are used to it though.
I love the orange chicken, having hated the dish for years at o...
Read More On Citysearch ms_elizabeth 9/5/2006 - Over Priced Chinese Food , Snotty WaiterFood is Ok, but it is very over priced. You can't get a chinese tea by a teapot! You have to pay for each orders! A waiter was snotty. I won't go back again.
Read More On Citysearch jahdaisuke 8/10/2006 - Chi-riffic!I tried this place based on a review I read in CityBeat, and i wasn't disappointed. Unlike other Chinese places that drown their food in soy sauce, this place has great sauces that are each unique and wonderful. The Chi Chicken and Orange Chicken are my current favorites, but I'll try everything. The waiters are very professional and attentive. They have a full bar and the owner is there frequent...
Read More On Citysearch kimbanate 10/15/2005 - Decent - could be betterI ordered the orange chicken for take-away. The chicken itself was quite good - orange slices and pieces of rind and whole peppers and the whole nine. What threw the whole meal off was the less-than-perfect rice! It wasn't sticky or fluffy - it was almost like middle-eastern or armenian rice without butter or almonds. No good, in my opinion. A little pricey for the amount of food you get.
Read More On Citysearch atlfreshnclean 5/13/2005 - Good Solid Chinese-American FareExpertly prepared Chinese-American dishes delivered quickly to your table. Curteous service by professional waiters who don't write anything down when taking your order but always get the orders right (how do they do that?!). White table cloths, pressed cloth napkins, generous (but not grossly gigantic) portions. Owner seems to always be there to keep things running smoothly. Clearly a local ...
Read More On Citysearch Cloe 3/14/2005 - The BEST In LA! Don't bother going anywhere else!The atmosphere, the charming wait staff, and delicious food make this my favorite place in..... anywhere!!!!! It's like I'm a junky.... I think about this food all the time... I become irritable if I don't get it when I want it........ It consumes me! If I "HAD" to choose one dish.... it would be the Aromatic Shrimp, but really, everything is magical here.
I agree with all other comments rega...
Read More On Citysearch nupicasso 3/7/2005 - Great PlaceThis is the best chinese food in town and very inexpensive. Go with a group so you can get a little of everything. Very fun casual place.
Read More On Citysearch hipmommie 8/4/2004 - good foodI have eaten at this restaurant since 1993 and am well aquainted with the maitre'd and owner.Like the other reviewer said,this is a place for unpretenious people who enjoy good food.It is not a place for "posh pretenders."they should stay on the west side.I love the restaurant & food.try their green tea ice cream and the minced chicken in a crisp lettuce leaf.
Read More On Citysearch artnmea 4/22/2004 - The Editorial Got It RightThe writer of the editorial got it wonderfully correct. Opulent decor makes a heroic attempt to cover the aging walls and furniture. The food here is quite good, although the waitstaff and the prices are slightly puffed-up, but again, that adds to the charm of the place. They do sauces well here, and we were surprised by how flavorful the tea was. I would certainly go again when I feel like a loc...
Read More On Citysearch polarbeast 2/4/2004 - the best chinesethis place is the best for a casual dining experience, the food is great, service is nice, and great local hangout. You may even geta chance to see some local celebrities sitting in the small bar area. Ask for the sizzling rice soup with tomato base and the sliced szchewan chicken over crispy noodles. The chinese chicken salad is simply the best. You could always have an interesting conversati...
Read More On Citysearch john341 10/18/2003 - Solid Chinese FareKiller hot and sour soup, wontons, egg rolls, and orange flavored chicken. Lo mein dishes are uninspired, so stay away. Very reasonable prices and I always get prompt service. Good atmo, and they even have a bar where you can sit and watch the game on tv if you want.
Read More On Citysearch rchorner 6/6/2002 - For Locals only?I can see from the reviews that some people do not appreciate Chi Dynasty, but then again, people from West LA should probably just stay there and let the Eastsiders enjoy "old school" LA.
