Excellent value for the quality of food and service. Definitely make reservations or wait could be long for dinner. Lunch is easier to get in without reservations.

Table was too small for the 5 of us. We had to keep shuffling our plates around in order to fit everything and make room. They should have given us a bigger table. Food was delicious!

Paradise Dynasty – Truly a Dumpling Lover’s Paradise! We absolutely love Paradise Dynasty in Costa Mesa and have been there at least once a month for past few months — it’s hands down our family’s favorite spot for dumplings! The variety here is incredible, especially for anyone who loves flavor and options. From the moment you sit down, you’re welcomed with a menu full of creative dumpling choices that go way beyond the usual. As vegetarians, we’re used to seeing just one veggie dumpling option on most menus — but not here! Paradise Dynasty is truly a paradise for vegetarians. There are tons of delicious veggie options, and each one tastes unique and flavorful. It’s so refreshing to actually have variety! The noodles are just as impressive — each noodle dish has its own distinct flavor and personality. From spicy to savory to rich and comforting, you can really taste the difference in every bite. Nothing feels repetitive or bland. Our kids adore this place — it’s their go-to dumpling restaurant. They always look forward to ending the meal with the warm, gooey chocolate lava buns (a must-try!). And for the grown-ups, the mango pudding is the perfect way to wrap up the meal — light, smooth, and just the right amount of sweetness. If you’re a dumpling fan — especially a vegetarian one — this place is a dream. We’ll definitely keep coming back again and again! Also the service is great and servers actually pay attention and come check on you. Definitely recommend!

I love this place and the food is great. They have a much bigger selection which includes vegetable dishes noodles and rice dishes compared to Din Tai Fung. Highly recommend Paradise dynasty. The only thing is Google Maps does not take you to the location and I am not sure how to fix it. They are located on the side door facing the 405 of Bloomingdale's.

My BFF from college and I met to celebrate my Birthday. Every time, I am in the area I try to get into Paradise Dynasty. I encounter wait times of 3 plus hours. Yesterday, we lucked out with a wait of one and a half hours. In fact, we got seated a half an hour early. We ordered 10 of the garlic pork soup dumplings, the crispy vegetable rolls, the tofu and sautéed spinach. We were sad that they ran out of the pea shoots. Our meal tasted divine, especially the tofu. I dream of their tofu. We found the service to be outstanding. My only gripe with Paradise Dynasty is that it is so difficult to get into the restaurant. I hope Paradise Dynasty can fix this challenge.
