Asian Dynasty — Restaurant in Virginia

Altering my review. To go order had an item that one party was allergic to (shrimp). Was 100% not ordered. Their idea of a remedy was a free egg roll to replace the incorrect one. We won't be eating here again. Had they taken even just one entree off we would have been more content.

There are a lot of Asian restaurants on Plank Rd but none of them have really been what I've been looking for. Finally tonight I had the tofu Kung Pao that I've been looking for.

The restaurant is right on Harrison and Plank and ample free parking in the lots outside. The servers brought out crunchy noodles and sauce and took our drink orders. They do not advertise on the menu that you can sub meat for tofu. When I asked they told me they can, which is what I wanted to hear. I got steamed tofu Kung Pao, bf had the same but with chicken, both served with white rice. You can get tofu steamed or fried and I got mine with sauce on the side.

They were busy so it did take 20+ min for the food, but we weren't in a hurry. I really liked mine. I asked for it not spicy and they give you a generous side bowl of sauce. The tofu was steamed but cubed and firm, which I prefer, wasn't mushy silken tofu. The flavor of the sauce was excellent and they load you up with vegetables. Both of ours had celery, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, green pepper, peanuts and carrots. It's amazing but a lot of the other places nearby give you a tiny bit of pepper and a few peanuts. Was really hardy here.

He enjoyed the chicken version and plenty of white rice to go around.

Only ask is they check in on drink refills a little more often. Other than that, great experience and we will definitely be back. I really like how it was prepared and was perfect for this...

UPDATE: I’m having a “next dish better than the last” kind of experience with this place! Over the weekend I had the Red Curry Beef. Though a tad bit too sweet, it was excellent! What I love most second to flavor is their meat to vegetables and sauce ratio. It is perfect! I don’t end my meal wishing I had more meat. Most places skimp on the meat. There are 3 Chinese restaurants within 10 miles of my house that I drive past to come here. I’m a native New Yorker. We are serious about Chinese food. It is a bonus that they serve great Thai food as well. I am soooo grateful. Please never leave!

I first tried this place a few months ago because I wanted Thai food nearby. I love their Drunken Noodles w/beef. There are 3 Chinese restaurants all within 10 minutes of my house. I have to be truthful and say I’m very unimpressed by the Chinese food in this area to the degree that I taught myself how to make a few dishes on my own. Today, I decided to try Asian Dynasty’s Beef and Broccoli. I took a picture of it with the intention of complaining that a small order is $12.19. It backfired.Lol. I decided to taste it since I had already opened it. I ate the ENTIRE dish in the car and went and ordered a second large one for tomorrow. All I have to say is bravo...

From the moment I walked in, Katie and Yaidy greeted me with genuine warmth and bright smiles that instantly lifted my spirits. Their energy was contagious; their customer service was nothing short of exceptional. They not only knew the menu inside and out but also took the time to make thoughtful recommendations tailored to what I was craving.

What truly set them apart was the care and kindness they showed beyond just great service. Their positive attitude, patience, and professionalism made me feel truly seen and appreciated; not just as a customer but as a person. It is rare to come across people who not only love what they do but also lead with such heart.

Katie and Yaidy are the kind of team members who make a place worth returning to again and again. They deserve all the recognition in the world. Whatever this company is paying them, it...
