    Everything was perfect: the service, wait time, and excellent food. We did have reservations and went early during restaurant week, so the place was not overly crowded. Service was timed pretty well. We enjoyed it all and would go back again.

    Paradise Dynasty is always bustling. We stopped in for lunch and it was OC Restaurant Week so extra busy. One of us had that menu-- started with signature Xiao Long Bao. Love the different flavors and colors. Next course was stir-fried noodles with shredded pork. Excellent. Best hot & sour soup we've ever had. Nice assortment of cold appetizers and highly recommend the stir-fried pea shoots with garlic. Always efficient and friendly service. Manager stopped by to check on us--a nice touch. Great addition to dining options at South Coast Plaza. Also super handy for takeout--excellent packaging to enjoy at home.

    This was our first time there. We were greeted right away by our server . Jordan , who was very helpful and courteous. He knew the menu items well and made excellent recommendations. Everything was delicious, and presentation , especially the sea bass was just beautiful. Their specialty, the dumplings were so good! We’ll be back again.

     Overall food was amazing better than din Thai Fung. The server was horrible trying to push the most expensive thing on the menu. All the time gave me the bill did not even offer me desert.
