China Dynasty — Restaurant in Aston Township

Ordered here twice. First time not too memorable all I know I their shumai are just mini dumplings in shumai shape.

Second time was my issue. I ordered shrimp chow mein. It is not chow mein. What I got was a vegetable soup with some shrimp in it, rice on the side, and a couple packs of fried noodle chips. When I called they said that’s what it is and how it’s made, definitely not how it’s made. I’m Chinese myself I have never in my life seen chowmein like this. Chow mein is basically stir fried noodles NOT DEEP FRIED NOODLES. All I can find on Google about it is that some idiot in the past called chop suey chow mein and marketed it. So now some bad Chinese places go around passing that as chowmein. Just bland veggie water. They also said maybe I should have ordered something else like lo mein then I would have got what I want , but that’s not what I wanted and they can’t be saying lo mein is the chow mein I wanted because it’s not even the same type of dish.

Overall really basic and bland

Edited to reply to owner: no it’s not go order chowmein from the stores around you or go to Chinatown you will not find what you have said. Gonna talk like I’ve never ordered in my life or something. What you made is chop suey or something else NOT chowmein. The method of cooking you are talking about is from a misunderstanding in the west coast and is not what the east coast...

First visit to China Dynasty. I must say I was pleasantly surprised.

Scallion Pancakes - 5 out of 5 Sauce and Pancakes were outstanding. Light and crispy, not overly breaded. Delicious.

Shrimp Fried Rice - 3.5 out of 5 Rice was a little undercooked, would have loved a little more flavor. Portion size 5 out of 5. Rice has peas and carrots which I’m not a fan of but that’s just my personal preference.

Shrimp and Broccoli - 4.5 out of 5 Shrimp were nicely sized and vegetables were cooked perfectly. I asked for the entree to be made spicy which added more flavor. Sauce was not greasy, and it didn’t overpower the meal.

Overall, we were pleased and will likely return again for take out.

Atmosphere inside...

The phone service was perfect. The food arrived fresh and fast. Delivery driver was very nice and friendly. I ordered the shrimp lo mein and it was very good. Could’ve used a little more shrimp in there but all around very good. I also ordered a Kung pow chicken and that was about an 8 out of 10. The egg roll was good. Perfectly cooked. I give it about an eight out of 10. Overall, this is The best place for Chinese food in the area and it’s not even close. The price was perfect. The meal portions were very good. I give them an 8.5 out of 10 overall score. Considering all the other Chinese places in the area are below a 5 out of 10 that’s a very good score. Keep up the great work and go...
