“ New Dynasty near Dupont Circle is a nice cozy Chinese joint! The food is halal, the portions are generous, and everything we tried was delicious. The highlight for me was the orange chicken, hands down the best I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and craving great Chinese food! ”
“ Just had lunch at New Dynasty Restaurant in D.C. last year (just remember to upload my documentation.lol) and honestly, it felt like a hidden gem—especially if you’re craving Asian flavors that hit close to home. As an Indonesian, I’m pretty picky with taste, but this place delivered! One big plus: they provide halal menu options! That’s not always easy to find, so it really made the experience better. I ordered their fried rice and general tso’s chicken and some vegetable dumplings, and both came out fresh and flavorful. The chicken had that crispy-outside, juicy-inside texture, and the sauce was rich without being overly sweet. It reminded me a bit of how we like our ayam saus mentega in Indonesia—manis, gurih, and satisfying! The portion sizes were generous, definitely enough to share with my friend or save for later. Plus, they’re fast—good if you’re on a schedule or just too hungry to wait. The place is simple and clean, nothing fancy, but the service was friendly and warm. One small note: the flavors lean more American-Chinese, so it’s not super-authentic Chinese cuisine, but still delicious if you’re just looking for something tasty, halal-friendly, and comforting. I didn’t see sambal, though—so next time I might bring my own! Overall: worth a visit, especially if you’re in the Dupont Circle area and craving good Asian food that feels a little like home—and halal too! *sorry, I forgot to capture my food. Too hungry to remember ”
“ Generous portion size and reasonable price. Taste was good too and the restaurant is cozy/not crowded. The owners were friendly too. Would come back if I ever visit DC again! ”
“ We had the general tsao, Mongolian beef, and vegetable fried rice; it was all delicious. Customer service was great as well. It’s probably the best Halal Chinese food I’ve ever had. ”
“ Food is very good and they offer two sizes for most dishes. A very nice touch. Food quality seems better than other delivery options. Delivery is generally quicker ( sometimes much) than stated. What's not to like? Unlike most carry outs, the napkins are real, usable napkins and the utensils are functional. Packaging of food is substantial and secure. ”
“ A small restaurant with a large menu of Chinese and other Asian dishes. My friend and I shared Singapore Noodle Vegetable (15.95) and White Meat Orange Chicken (16.95). We enjoyed our lunch and noticed how good all the food being served looked. Located close to the Metro and just a few blocks from the Phillips. ”
“ SUPER impressed with this food. It's a take out restaurant, but super high quality ingredients and preparation. As a Chinese person, it definitely tasted authentic even for American chinese. Would highly recommend. Food comes out piping hot. They were playing hockey on TV while I waited for my order. ”
“ Orange chicken was delicious and tender and moist, steamed vegetables were bland in a way that neutralizes all the saltiness from other dishes and the lo mein also hit the spot. In general, plenty of food, quick service and the classic American Chinese takeout food taste that feels very comfort mealy. Spring rolls are huge so you could probably share one between two people with other mains. Will def be going back ”
