I've been a patron of Golden Dynasty on and off for the past twenty or so years. I've dined in here a few times, but of late they have been one of my mainstays for take-out. In the past, my wife has thrived on their subgum wonton soup AKA ingredient soup with vegetable. For years this would be the only thing she'd ever want from the Dynasty... until she tried their cilantro chicken, which is her new favorite. Other family favorites include sesame tofu & sesame chicken.Well worth the trip . If planning a visit on a major holiday, budget extra time & patience.

One of my favorite Chinese restaurants in Rochester.The service is AWESOME. The servers are very friendly, the menu is always improving, and the owner always brings out stuff for us to try.For a vegetarian, I was really impressed when the owner himself went back into the kitchen and made us vegetarian Pho, which isn't even on the menu.The food is really excellent too. I'm a vegetarian so I can't comment on the meat dishes, but I really love the Moo Shu Vegetables, Jalapeño Tofu (my favorite), the sizzling Tan Pan Tofu, and homemade fried dumplings. They justed added Thai food, and while I'm always skeptical of Thai at Chinese restaurants, the Pad Thai was better than most of the Thai restaurants in Rochester!

I'm not a huge fan of Chinese food, but i do like a good helping of General Tso's chicken. This place is very good. Like most oriental restaurants, the "extras" you get with the meal help make up for the price of a meal. ...?
