I had heard about this place for years from their ads on WTVN. I was excited to finally try it. My wife and I went there around 4:30 on Saturday (yesterday as of this review). We ordered Won Ton soup for 2, potstickers, egg rolls, hot tea, 2 entrees, and I had a soft drink.
Our waitress had 2 tables, and there were only 4 occupied tables in an area of around 20. She took our soup and potstickers to her other table. They did not say anything when she served them the soup but told her they did not order potstickers when she set them down on the table. She then started to frantically look at her menu pad. I spoke up and said that we had ordered them, and she gave them to us. Later during our meal she took my glass to refill my drink and then disappeared. After waiting over 5 minutes, I asked a nearby waiter to get her. When I asked her about my refill, she started to reach for a non-existent glass on the table. It was somewhat amusing seeing her eyes scanning the table for my glass. After only a couple seconds, I told her she had already taken my glass - which she had onviously forgotten. That was the sevice. As for the food... It was ok. I got the Mongolian Tripple Delight and there was, surprisingly, a generous amount of shrimp; however, overall there was nothing remarkable about the food. Very average even when compared to much less expensive carry out restaurants, and certainly below par for a gourmet Chinese restaurant. We ended up with a $60+ bill before tip. I certainly would not have minded paying the price if 1) the food was outstanding, 2) the waitress was more competent, and 3) the ambiance was a more upscale. I felt the price was equivalent to or higher than Molly Woos, but none of the 3 items mentioned above came close to what I have experienced at Molly Woos or any other gourmet Chinese restaurant in town. Bottom line... gourmet prices for carry out quality. I won't go back.

Really good food and plenty of it. Went there for lunch and got in and out in a reasonable amount of time.

The Christmas buffet was $32+!!! Charged me extra because I wanted hot tea and pop. The cold prime rib was doled out in very meager portions. The Chinese food was good, but it was not worth $30+ per. I was really hoping to start a new Christmas tradition with family. Not only would I not do that here. I would never go back!! The people are rude, and the place was filthy

I love China Dynasty! They are SOOO expensive for Chinese food though. Be prepared to drop some coin before you go...but the food is excellent. Some of the best Chinese food in Columbus...just way to expensive
