I stopped by for lunch and decided to try the signature original Xiao Long Bao chicken served on a bed of flavorful chicken fried rice, paired with a refreshing sake. The dish was absolutely delicious, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked! The service was attentive and friendly, contributing to a wonderful dining experience. The atmosphere was calm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to unwind. The restaurant was impeccably clean, which added to the overall positive impression. I highly recommend this place if you’re at the mall and looking for a quick yet satisfying bite!
Post celebration of my birthday! It was so lovely and feeling special. Our server Aiman is so nice and fast, friendly staff and cozy place. Amazing food and I'll definitely be back here for more events!
We came here on a mother-daughter shopping day after seeing a friend's post about it on IG. One of the tween daughters in the group is a big Xiao Long Bao fan and was excited to try a few of the flavors. The kids were a little disappointed that the original pork flavor was white dough but since we ordered the crab meat with roe (orange), the bbq pulled pork (yellow) and the beef pho (green-white), the frowns turned upside down. We lucked into arriving at happy hour so we got 40% off of the bao and as mentioned the beef pho was a special limited edition XLB. The cucumber appetizer was a hit with the growns, and the panda chocolate lava bun was definitely a hit with the tweens although fair warning, it was fresh and really melty - I mean messy. The adults also really liked the pan fried Shanghai Kurobuta Pork buns but the kids said they were meh (but were likely distracted because they came after they had ordered the lava buns). The atmosphere was good, I liked the convenience of having a place to put our purses by the table- very considerate. The service was a little bit haphazard which was concerning because the tweens were all starving and the confusion between servers resulted in a a slight delay. Understandable because it was happy hour but also concerning because they did not seem to be understaffed but rather the opposite. All in all we want to try the rainbow XLB variety with our more adventurous family members so we will be back and will update the post then.
Great spot if you’re craving xiao long bao with a twist — they’ve got multiple flavors, not just the classic ones! Not a huge dim sum menu, but the noodles are legit tasty. Rice dishes are just okay, but still authentic. A solid alternative to Din Tai Fung if you don’t feel like waiting 2 hours — especially worth it during happy hour!
I had heard many good things about Paradise Dynasty and finally got to dine here with my family. We made reservations for lunch and didn't wait too long after checking in for our table to be ready. The menu features traditional Singapore cuisine as well as innovative specialties. We ordered plenty of the classic dishes to share, and everything was delicious. Prices are reasonable for most of the items, and it's a nice treat once in a while. A few of my favorites. - The XLBs (Dynasty Original and Shzechuan) - Wontons in Chili Oil are all flavorful with a hint of heat - Fried Rice dishes (we had the fried pork and chicken) - Fried Pork Chop has the light crispy shell and tender meat inside. - Pan-fried Kurobuta Pork Dumplings - Stir-fried French Bean w/ Minced Pork - Purple Rain cocktail is a sake-based cocktail with dragon fruit that's light on the alcohol and refreshing. - The Panda Chocolate Lava Buns were cute and fun to eat. Be careful of the chocolate lava which can ooze out quickly when bitten. The drink menu offers many options, including specialty cocktails, spirits, sake, and more. Happy Hour, which runs Monday through Friday from 2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m., offers excellent prices and plenty of items. The noodle soups look good, too, and I hope to try them next time. The service was excellent. Jabin was our main server, and he was energetic, kind, and attentive. There are plenty of tables to accommodate many patrons and bar seating to enjoy kitchen views. I can't wait to dine here again, try more of the menu, and enjoy my favorites.
Came with my family of 4 on a Monday night and wait was about 20 minutes. Only waited about 15 minutes before we were seated. I liked the restaurant was not too loud and not too bright. When we sat we were provided a menu that we marked up and someone brought us waters as we were ordering. Server came by to make some recommendations and ask if we had questions. We’ve ordered to go but never eaten in the restaurant before. We ordered: 1. Hot and Sour Soup- perfectly peppery! 2. Kurobuta pork Wontons in Chili Oil-sauce is so good and not too spicy. 3. Crispy Sweet and Sour Chicken-sauce was tasty and chicken was very crispy despite being covered in sauce. They did not skimp on the chicken or the veggies. 4. Stir-Fried French Bean-perfectly cooked; not too soft and not too hard. 5. Fried Rice with Shrimp-generous amount of eggs and shrimp in the fried rice. 6. 3 kinds of dumplings: Original Pork, Black Truffle, Beef Pho-cannot beat the original, we’ve had the assorted before and my favorites were the Black Truffle and the Garlic so we opted for Truffle tonight. The Beef Pho actually tasted like pho and they provided a lime as well as Hoisin and Sriracha sauce to dip. The Beef Pho dumplings are a special available until 4/30/25 so we caught it just in time! Service and dinner were exceptional. Everything arrived orderly and hot, even with a busy restaurant.
Want Chinese food but going with a group of 2? Paradise Dynasty is it. The first time I came here I got the rainbow XLB, but actually everything else is even better!!! There is nothing bad on the menu. The chef specials seasonal menu if you want to be extra fancy is fantastic. The wonton mala noodles has the perfect amount of mala, where you can still talk to your date without your nose running . Pan-fried Shanghai rice cakes has a taste will take you back home. Jindu pork ribs(sweet and sour pork) is a dish most people will find comfort in, especially kids. Don't forget to order a garlicky leafy greens! Pea shoots is a great value. It is priced the same as spinach and broccoli on the menu but costs around 5/lbs at the groceries. Shout-out to Hendry, he's always attentive and brings good vibes
Love it here! Food was really good and service was amazing! Our party was celebrating 2 birthdays and the staff was accommodating. Our server constantly checked in on us if we needed anything. They even cleared our table before bringing out desserts.
