This place is the BEST! The crispy chicken and the tandoori chicken are unbelievably good! The waiter staff is friendly and the owner personally came to my table and asked if we found everything alright. The place is one of the cleanest I've seen in Orlando. I will return soon insha Allah! |

| ★★ please retrain your staff of young gentelmen in proper resturant etiiquette and mannerisms, i have received better service at roadside roti stalls in india. the way my wife was addressed was preposterous, things such as "sir" and "madam" go a long way, as opposed to "lady" and "hey you"..not only was the server staff rude and appalling, the chicken corn style soup was bland tasting and had a watery residue, and the dinner sizes have been reduced to some of the smallest portions yet to be seen at a resturant of these prices. poor service. simply no excuse. |

Above all it is the only LEGIT halal place in Orlando no gimmicks. I enjoy going to Golden Dynasty and will continue to go InshaAllah. If you are ever in the Orlando area give this place a try, trust me you wont regret it. |

| ★ I visited the restaurant, with my family, a couple of days ago. There was not a single other customer in the place other than us. There was a dirty table next to where we were sitting and another one accross the dining area. The waitress, upon removing the dirty dishes, starts to spray cleaning reagents on to the table right next to us!! I asked her if she had to do it right at that moment as we were eating. She doesn't like my comment and immediately responds: yes I have to because if a customer comes, I have no other place to sit them. I look around the room, there were 9 tables available with at least seating arrangements for 40 people. All I could say is RRight! Plus, I am not used to a waitress talking back to me in a rude way. I was not there to seek favor. I purchased whatever my party wanted and I tipped the same waitress 20% the night before. The food was good. However, I will never return to that place nor that I will ever recommend this place to anyone. Wish I could speak to the owner about this waitress who is a huge negative factor for the business and eventually will cause the business to close down. |

| ★★ i just moved into town so i will be trying all the places that get most reviews..i took my family here..first thing i noticed was the waiters were in street clothes there was no host ..someone came from the kicthen i guess she is a cook/waiter/host/cleaner etc...my children had the spicey fried chicken which they liked i had lo mein and garlic beef i could see their wasnt much meat in it..the rice was half the amount of the entree .. i had the lo mein . and having had some excellent lo mein at the halal place on old winter garden i expected this to be above that since this was"authentic" chinese but i was wrong it was a reddish-orange rubbery noodle concoction..the fried rice we ordered was"yellow" it had those frozen veggies u get for 99 cents a pound at walmart..the food was good on top of that they slapped a 15 percent tip on the bill..i didnt say anything but it reflects on the owner..what motivates the servers if they already have their tip?? |

| ★★★ I would rate them as of today about 2-3. Been going to them for years but the only thing I enjoy now is their crispy combo. Everything else is mediocre at best. The quality and quantity has reduced. One night I went there with family and the entire restaurant was filled with smoke. My eyes were so red and allergies that I didn't even know I had started to flare up. Not a good sign for this restaurant. Hope these reviews help them improve! |

| ★★★ there used to be a time a few years back, where this was a 5 star deserving resturant, unforunately the past couple of years took a hit, mainly on quantity and quality. the portions have been significantly dialed back, in some cases, i would say there about 33% smaller as compared to a year before of same dinner item, even though within those 2 years the prices have climbed..so this is rather mindful, to raises prices and reduce portions..seems unfair, also the quality is suffering, as of late, there has been excess watery residue in our meals, and not as flavorful, as before..i always order the same meal, and the size is a lot smaller, taste is'nt the same, it has become average in my book, but too bad, the portions have been reduced greatly..just be forewarned if you are local, the sizes have been reduced. |

| ★★★★★ AOA All,
We just returned from a trip to Orlando and Golden Dynasty is the place we went like 7-10 times in a 3 weeks trip. I went with my family, my Orlando friends and by myself after my kids had gone back.
Golden Dynasty has amazing crispy chicken for starters (wish someone would start offering it in Mississauga/Toronto Area). Chicken Tikka is Delicious, Lean Chicken without any fat and just the perfect blend of spices. Nihari is as good as anyone (including Sabri from Chicago) with one of the best Fresh made Naan (Bread). I'd Qublai Rice on my every single visit (It has Chicken/Beef & Shrimp). It was a suggestion by the Owner (Asad) and what an amazing choice he made for me. We also had Chicken Corn Soup, Chili Chicken. Both are good too. Service is good, Meal Portions and Prices are about the same compared to Mississauga/Toronto Area Chinese but the quality of food is much better than Mississauga. Best thing was that the food was delicious every single time.
This was our second trip in the last 6 months. We also had a trip to Lahore in between these 2 Orlando trips. I must say that after eating at Yum in Lahore and Golden Dynasty in Orlando, I have stopped eating at our local Chinese in Mississauga as they are no match to these 2 places. Any suggestions in Mississauga/Toronto Area as good as Yum/Golden Dynasty are welcome.
Last but not least, Any one of the owners from Yum/Golden Dynasty will be much better off opening a branch in Mississauga/Toronto Area as they will beat the rest in no time.
I would highly suggest everyone to try Golden Dynasty on their trip to Orlando and would be going there on my all future trips.

| ★★★★ the chinese food is very good, it used to be excellant, but one star downgrade for a variety of reasons. first of all, i have noticed the size of the food and amount has DECREASED and the meat cut is not as thick or hearty as in the past. also even after 2 requests the food arrived spicy and hot even though menu states food spice can be altered to taste. other than those 2 complains, i will still recommend and go to this restuarant has they are pros at this chinese game and it is nice to find tasty desi style chinese as sometimes you want chinese with a desi twist, this is the place to be for it! |

| ★★★ Food used to be very tasty before. i am not sure if they drop the cook and replace him.
it's not the resturabnt that make the food tasty is the chef,, changing Chefs will have an affect on the business. when i go to a resturant i go to eat and enjoy could care less about anything else cause i am only there for a few minutes so keep the food delicious and you will see many patrons when customers complaint buisness will be bad... learn from mistakes brother |

| ★★★ they need to do some thing about there food taste i been eating there from almost 4 years and since 2 years there food taste quality got droped by 70% for some reason. they better do some thing before they go out of business. and also they are little expensive too, there are hundreds of Chinese restaurants all are mostly cheap but they are not they just want to rip their own Muslims brothers and sisters who only eat halal meat, be careful GD there is a another Halal Chinese restaurant opened now, I dont want you guys to go out of business so do some thing to bring back your old customers. |

| ★★ i have been coming here on wknds close to 3 years now, the food is consistent and good, although the spice level fluctuates from just right to unbearable, where you need milk to wash it down, we get mix of indian food and chinese food, not really desi chinese style, but it is spicy bent towards desi tastes, the decor is standard fare, and the staff is attentative, and accomodating, there is a t.v for entertianment during wait times, however one thing that is clearly noticable over the years, is the portions are getting SMALLER AND SMALLER, and prices have incremently gone up, which is understandable as commodities prices increase, rents increase, wages increase etc..but when the business is increasing the menu price, from a customer's point of view, there is no justification for the smaller portions, please review the size of your white take out containers, and ask yourselves if you would be happy with that small box size of food for the price you are paying?..unfortunately take out value has become questionable, no reason for smallish boxes, cost of rice, eggs, vegetables, meat basic staples did not dramatically increase where the menu price increase cannot cover it, where even the portions are cut back..i have doubts about coming back in the future, with more halal indian chinese desi options in florida, at least i don't need to question the value ratio over there..please accept my constructive criticism and hopefully next time i will be a satisfied customer like in the years past, just lately, portions are getting too small. |

| ★★ This restaurant came highly recommended but we were extremely disappointed. We tried both Chinese and Desi dishes and both fell short. From the soup to the appetizers and entrees. With a large group we had a variety to sample. Also found the restaurant to be pricey and the staff not very friendly/welcoming. |

| ★★★★★ Went to this place in October 2010 (I know the review is pretty late, but I still wanted to praise this restaurant). We were visiting Orlando for Disney, so looked up on my zabihah app nearby halal places and this one popped up. We went there and ordered some of their desi food and Chinese and everything tasted great. I don't remember anything being bad or unpleasant. The food was good, the location was good, was pretty clean and of course Halal Chinese is always good. I remember one night we got out of Disney late and found this place closed. I wish they would stay open later cause of Disney. |

|
| ★★ iirespective of what there menu says, all items are hot and spicy with the red curry powder, it makes it difficult for the little ones to eat with the family meals and we purposedly placed orders without the chilli markings and it did not matter, it came hot and spicey anyways..i guess they are catering to what is popular but, sometimes you cannot tolerate their spice level, which is much more than just a kick in the pants, cutting back would'nt be such a bad idea..or at least follow protocol as stated in your menu.if the childred had enjoyed, maybe we would have enjoyed, but spent too much type rubbing off spices on napkin so kids can eat, even though menu said not spicy. Golden Dynasty responds: I sorry but but I would disagree with you! My kids eat there all the time and they don't eat any spice. There are plenty of things that are sweet and there are plenty of things on the menu that have no spice at all. Also, we DO NOT use Red Curry Powder in our restaurant. Order separately for the kids based on what they like to eat and you will not have any problems. Thanks! |

|
| ★★★ Food was okay. We were starving and we wanted some heavy food, but we didnt expect the food to be so spicy and so oily. We would be willing to give this place an extra try again but we were disappointed. Golden Dynasty responds: Not sure why people complain about the food at GD being oily and/or spicy. You will get what you ordered. If you are getting something which is fried and spicy and you tell the server to make it spicy, it will be spicy and oily. There are plenty of items that are non-spicy, mild and even sweet. Please discuss with your server if you give us another try. Thanks |

|
| ★★★ this one is almost a perfect restuarant, the only drawbacks i can think of is it is always spicy irrespective of what the menu states, i asked our waiter what he could recommend for the kids, and one of the interesting suggestions was a fried chicken strip chinese style, he indicated it does not have a "chilli" pepper picture next to it at menu, so it would not be spicy..it turned out to be very hot, with curry powder mixed in...the waiter also seemed oblivious to why we were requesting a table, and insisted we "shoehorn" into a booth.,..perhaps he cannot discern my father who has an oxygen tank that needs to be placed in a manner best suited on a table, but again, the waiter was aprehensive about giving up a table, and insisiting we get into a booth, even though 2 tables were available...not good customer service at all..my tip reflected that, so some negatives here need to be improved, however still recommend if you enjoy spicy indian and spicy chinese food..good family environment overall..just need better trained staff on how to deal with customer with special needs. |

|
| ★★ I use to love this place a few years back, but now I hesitate to go to it. It sucks that this is the only halal Chinese restaurant around here. I love chinese food, and this restaurant has become more indian then Chinese. If I wanted spicy food mixed with garlic sauce I would have gone to an Indian restaurant. I'm not a fan of the food here. Not my style of chinese.
I know your customers are mostly desi, but still you could give them a taste of what actual Chinese food tastes like instead of swarming it with spices. |

|
| ★★ This place is hit or miss. It's all about luck..good luck! Also prices have increased and portions have decreased. Golden Dynasty responds: Not sure about the hit or miss comment. Golden Dynasty is the most establish Zabihah restaurant in the state of Florida so we like to make every experience a hit. However, every now and then due to human error, things can be a miss, and for that, if you contact the management, we would try our level best to make it a hit for you! Yes, prices have gone up by $0.50 but the portions are the same as they were 8 years ago. Regards, Ahmed |

| ★★★★ I am going to GD since it was first opened 10 years ago, the food is still awesome and Owner is Gentleman, specially Crispy Chicken is the star dish but in my recent visits I went 3 times (1 was take out order) and I was over charged 2 out of 3 times, the take out order was charged on Dine In prices as it was complete take out order, the 3rd time we ate in and was charged $10.99 extra for a dish plus we has a partial take out ordered and again was charged Dine in prices (the $10.99 item was removed upon objecting), Overall $20.00, I do not understand the mistake as it was not busy (4 pm)
I will still recommend the place but you should Check your bill before making the paymentGolden Dynasty responds: Thank you for taking the time out to review us. I do apologize for the double charge. We had a new server who started with us around that time and could be the reason for the overcharge. We do encourage everyone to check the bill regardless of which restaurant you go to. There is always a chance of human error especially when someone is new or when the restaurant is very busy. So checking your bill can't hurt. Regards, Ahmed |

| ★★★★ I like this restaurant. Good Food & Good/Friendly service sums it all up. I'd go again but it's probably time for interior renovation. It's Chinese restaurant owned by a South Asian Mulsim which means you find both foods in one place. We tried the Chinese and they were delicious. |

| ★★★★★ Salaam, Just want to say that i am from the Uk and have been working here in Florida for the past few weeks. I have eaten at Golden Dynasty nearly every day during my stay. The reason being that their food is THE BEST. i dont own the place, i dont have a share in it, but from the heart the food is nice. The owner is a nice man, always gave me tasters of new dishes, (which amazed me) and the staff are very nice too., It is catered for family environments. The crispy chicken is very nice. People who have complained on this review page, i dnt understand as the food has been perfect every time. As for the portions, they are of a decent size. I am a regular business traveller to Orlando, and i ALWAYS eat here.Coming from the UK where on one street we have many different restaurants, this one has struck a balance with me. I would definately reccomend to anyone visiting Orlando. The prices are decent for halal food. Wish the owners all the best. Sajid Aman |

Although we have many great restaurents in toronto but since I moved to orlando this was my first visit at GD when I came out happy and smiling due to all the reasonable prices, professional attitude and above all Delicious food.

We felt so welcomed and the food was simply amazing. I must say best tasting food zabihah food in the orlando area. Loved the Crispy chicken, nehari was awsome and service was A+. Of all the desi restaurants ive eaten through out the united states, this place comes after Chicago. I wish they had food like this in NJ. Can wait to go back to Orlando and try all the other dishes in this place. |

| ★★★ I have lived in Chicago, DC and Atlanta and love to eat outside and have good sense of taste. I recently visited this place after reading all the reviews in zabihah.com. I was kind of bit disappointed. Food taste is just OK not an extra ordinary. We were served soup without the chips. They were running short because of weekend rush. Overall atmosphere is good, friendly staff, pretty clean place. Their Chinese food is better than paki/indian food. They don't really know how to cook chicken karahi. Kabobs were also just ok. Its not must to go restaurant. Golden Dynasty responds: Salaam Shahid,
I am sorry to hear that you have a disappointing experience at Golden Dynasty. We have never been busier in a span of 10 days and ran out of several things due to a lot of places being closed. If you ever come back to Orlando at a not so crazy busy time, please give us another chance and you surely will not be disappointed. If GD is not the must go halal restaurant in Orlando, I really don't think there is any restaurant you should go to in this city. Chicago however is full of great restaurants, Usmania being my favorite on!! JAK, Ahmed |

| ★★★ we are from chicago visiting orlando, looked at z.com and saw the good reviews about this restaurant so we thought of stopping by one night. Party of 15 people we ordered food, the food was okay. Their Chicken corn soup was by far the best, good quantity but there was not much chicken or corn in it, it was mostly watery but tasted good. We ordered other dishes like manchurian chicken, mangolian beef, crispy beef etc.. All the dishes were too oily, they tend to put less meat and more vegetables in each of the dishes thus cheating the customers. The quantity of meat is much less and rest is all onions and Green peppers and lots of soy sauce. I guess this is a good way to cheat customers. Anyways the fried rice was okay not that great either, the service was good.
At the end we ordered the check they already ordered gratuity in the check and it does not say anywhere about it secondly we gave additional 18% tip on top of 15% they charged when we asked they said yes they added and we are like okay dont worry don't need to get the tip back so they infact got 38% tip i think its robbery again.
When the bill came in we looked at it and they have added few charges more in it and we had to tell the waiters and they apologized and corrected it.
We went there back again couple days ago and ordered similar dishes the prices for the soup was more we inquired why they said they by mistake put in the takeout prices. We had it corrected again.
To test them we said lets go there once again so on the third visit we went party of 5 and again same problem with the food and the bill was over prices i was mad and talked to the waiter and again they gave me the same excuse about some mixup in menu i was mad and by then they have charged my credit card and said they will give me the difference back.
All in all the food was okay but you need to watch your check at the end these guys are sleazy and are adding more dishes and prices to your bill Be careful. Nexst time we decided not to go there because of the price issue and the cheating.
The same guy owns other restaurant Charcoal Joe we went there once and the food was good but again our bill was more than what we ordered, we looked at it later but it was late to go back and readjust it.Golden Dynasty responds: SalaamAlaikum,
First off, shame on you for calling me and my brother cheaters, robbers and sleazy. I don't know what kind of person are you but based on my little knowledge of Islam, it isn't right. Now coming back to your point. During the last 10 days of December, we were extremely busy to the point where we had to hire four additional people, two for the kitchen and two servers. So, I do apologize if the prices where rung wrong but as you mentioned they were taken care of not sure how that is cheating.
As for the TIP (gratuity), It says on the dine in menus that it will be included and we also have a sign in the front saying that and besides, that goes to the servers and not the owners plus according to you they offered to take it off so not exactly robbery as you pointed out! As for the food portions, I am not sure where you are from but we get complements from people from all over that our food quantity is great and our prices are lower then other quality halal Chinese. I was just in Raleigh NC two weeks ago and ate at a halal Chinese paying $11.99 for chicken items and $13.99 for beef. At GD, 95% of the menu items are below $10.00. Also a word of advice for you, next time you have a problem, don't talk to the waiter if it is not being resolved, talk to a manager or the owner since that will help resolve most situations. JAK, Ahmed |

| ★★★ I know that a lot of ppl have rated this resturant as very highly. It might be something that the locals enjoy. But I frankly didn't really enjoy the food out here. I guess since i was travelling from dallas and we have some good options out here in noodle wave which is by the way a top notch thai resturant, they serve some chinese dishes as well. Anyways, my expectations were maybe too high. We ordered soup and crispy chicken fried rice and some steak dish , either it was pepper steak or something cant remember.
1) soup was ok.
2) pepper steak or whatever that dish was, the meat was rubbery. It didnt taste like ohh this is good. It wasn't bad either. Just so so food. I know i have had a similar dish in dallas and it was off the hook at noodle wave.
3) fried rice, ok this i did not like , it is nothing like your proper Chinese fried rice , maybe they try to give this desi touch to it , even by desi fried rice standard it wasn't good.
4) Crispy chicken, i thought this was a bit of a let down. I know a lot of ppl like this probably but i felt it was just ok.
I might have had way too much expectation but its not like the food is inedible. Food is just average from my perspective. But the locals seem to like it. I went into this restaurant just by looking at the number of reviews and the ratings giving by ppl, i was a bit disappointed.Golden Dynasty responds: Debal,
I love Noodle Wave!! When I visited Dallas two years ago, I went their 5 times in 4 days!! So, since you like Noodle Wave, you should have tried Mandarin Chicken or Beef, General Tsau Chicken and Manchurian Noodles. Also, in order to really enjoy the flavors of Golden Dynasty, I do recommend coming here before the 8PM rush or a non holiday weekend which I know can be difficult for people for other states. I don't hope you give us another try on your next visit to Orlando! JazakAllah Kahir, Ahmed |

| ★★★★★ Salam,
Was at Golden Dynasty last week for a quick business trip to orlando. I wanted to head to Charcoal Joe, but the wife insisted that we have some nihari, so we headed here. First of all the service was great, the servers were pleasant and recommended great dishes. About the nihari the portions in orlando i guess are much bigger than miami for the same price. We ordered also the famous crispy chicken, it was the best appetizer ever, beautiful color and taste. WE didnt think we were gonna get much nihari so we also ordered chicken tikka which was also very good. In the end we had alot of food left over, because of the genorous portions. Btw falooda was the great finish! I would also like to mention brother Asad came over to ask how everything was, and even offered to lower the AC for our comfort with out us asking, very polite and professional. |

| ★★ i came in during their lunch hours and i ordered pepper steak platter like i always do, but this time around the quality was really bad..before there was a time when the meat was "thinly sliced" and looked appealing and was consistent with what other chinese places offered,..however my last 2 outings, (i let the first one slide in case it was a fluke)..the meat was more like scraps that come off of a butchers floor..very unappealing and definitely talks of deteriorating quality..perhaps the kitchen staff has changed? and the owner is not aware of how the meat is being cut and served?..i hope it is'nt with the owners/manager's consent, because it definitly would not be worth a future return visit.the taste can be much improved if the staff took a minute to properly cut the meat, (like they did in the past) so it looks presentable and edible., if on the other hand, they just opted to use a less expensive form of meat from the butcher/store..than it is quite noticeable to your regular customers and we feel the burn. Golden Dynasty responds: ASA,
I do apologize that the last two visits at Golden Dynasty were not satisfying. Our kitchen staff is the same for about four years now and no we do not use scraps that come off of a butchers floor. For our beef entrées, we use select grade meat which is of high quality (U.S. Select). We have two people in our staff that do nothing but cut meat and vegetable and Alhumdulillah with our high food turnover, the ingredients are very fresh. Also, at Golden Dynasty, the Owners are involved on a daily basis with everything from prepping food, making sauces, cleaning and serving. I humbly request as I have in the past to everyone who leave a less satisfying review to please at least bring the issue with the owner or wait staff to give us a chance to either correct the problem/complain or at least be aware of our customer's feedback before it is published for the world to see. Also, since we have never had beef/chicken US especially in a Chinese restaurant, we have to go by our Chinese chef's requirements for the cuts of the meat & chicken & vegetable. We do not have a Mexican guy making our food but a proper Chinese chef with over 30 years of experience including five years in China at Disney's Epcot. Jazak-Allah Khairan, Ahmed |

| ★★★★ I am long time customer of GD. I personally know 1 of the owners very well. I always find my visit here to be pleasant. The employees are all very respectable to all customers muslim or not. The food is very tasty as well. My only complaint is that the prices of the food have remained the same over the years while the portion sizes have drastically decreased. I understand everyone is having a hard time in this tough economy but that is no reason to reduce portion sizes while keeping the same prices. Go to any non-halal chinese restaurant and the prices are reasonable too but the portion sizes are standard based on take out box size and a lot bigger than GD's. Hope this 1 issue gets resolved. Shukran. |

| ★★★★★ I was visiting from Virginia with my parents and stumbled upon this well decorated, humble staffed restaurant. The variety of food that was offered was above any expectation I ever had. Not only was the customer service top notch, but the food was delicious as well. I ordered a few items from both the cuisines and just felt the urge to keep on eating!! I have NEVER had food that just tasted that amazing. I swear that if I ever am back in Florida, I will eat at this place day in and day out! Wish they could open an office in VA =) Trust me and please try it out once, you WILL want to go back! ;) |

| ★★★ Items Ordered: Hot n Sour Soup, House Manchurian Noodles, House Fried Rice, Shrimp and Vegetable.
All were ordered Spicy
I have to say as a notification that those who pointed the meals as being greasy and bland are most certainly wrong, that bias might be on my part for ordering all the meals spicy, but I assure you the above meals certainly had their individual tastes.
To start with the Hot n Sour soup was rather well made, spicy to the tongue and a generally well put together meal. The house rice and noodles too were rather appealing and the use of de-veined shrimp certainly caught my eye. The downside however is the lack of properly steamed vegetables, their broccoli was a touch solid more than soft but other than that it was definitely a good meal.
There was also an issue with the rice which definitely should be mentioned. Apparently all meat dishes come with a bowl of rice on the side, which they stated was already written on the menu. I being the customer didn't notice this particular part and ended up ordering the fried rice in addition to the plain rice.
The service was superb, servers/waiters (whichever you prefer) were there checking to make sure the meals were alright and the timing was even better.
Ways to improve: Definitely notify the customers that there are bowls of rice with the meat dishes (whichever ones they are)
Better steamed vegetables which make the meal all the more enjoyable.
Other than that this was a rather enjoyable restaurant which I do recommend to anyone looking for a reasonably priced delicious meal.
I will be frequenting this restaurant once more this week so we'll see if the food is better or worse than what I've experienced today.

| ★★ ...i am a seasoned golden dynasty patron visiting this restaurant for a number of years..however as of late things have been sliding towards the downside..one very recent visit.i had placed an order for an entree and was told by my server.."that one is not very good..i would'nt recommend it"..i was flabbergasted..i kindly requested it again saying i would like to give it a try..the server reluctantly wrote it down..then walked over to the kitchen, had a conversation and came back out stating.."that dish is not available as we don't know how to make it since the owner is not here"..then proceeded to point out items that are available..you can draw your own conclusions as to how "freshly prepared" the food is and what it really means by "chef recommendations"..the item i requested by far was no more difficult or challenging then the next item on the list..i feel this was more or less..the cook/kitchen staff not wanting to be "bothered" to make a special (fresh) meal for a regular customer and would rather "zap and nuke" something else and send me on my way..at least this is the impression i got..in the earlier years i don't believe this was the norm or ever occured to me..perhaps these days..times have changed..the previous dinner time experiences were much more appealing...i can go on and on like for instance how the chicken tandoor tikka is no longer served on a sizzling hot plate on bed of onions but instead on a plain white porcelein plate (out of a microwave) etc..but you get the point!..i hope the owner can turn this place around and restore it's glory years..still a good chinese place..just not the best anymore. Golden Dynasty responds: First of all, I sincerely apologize for the server not wanting to recommend an item. Maybe it is was more of a communication issue as maybe the server was trying to suggest a better and more popular entrée. The owner don't cook there the Chefs do. We have stopped severing one of two items from our previous Chinese menu but sometimes people are still insistent not realizing that they were taken off for a reason. They try really hard and do a wonderful job for us pleasing 100s of customers a week. Second, we never served our Tandoori Chicken on a sizzling hot plate!! And it comes to our customers straight from the Tandoor and NEVER sees the microwave. In fact, none of the food at GD ever goes in the Microwave except for the Egg roles which go in for 30 seconds before being fried.
I would really love to take you back into our kitchen and show you the process of how our food is cooked fresh and how hard working my staff is.With our turnover, Almudulillah we run of our things very quickly for the food to be not fresh. Please contact me on my cell phone 407-414-1985 if you ever decide to try us again and have any issues with the food or service. Jazakallah Khair, Ahmed |

| ★★ After finding this place on zabihah.com and reading all the reviews, I was very excited to try this place out. I loveeee Chinese food, and been missing it dearly. I wanted to like this place, I tried hard to like this place. But I couldn't get over the lackluster service, and extremely bland taste. Wait, not bland, just horrible. The beef for mongolian beef was cut in wrong way (just shows you the carelessness) and beef itself had a foul smell, which no amount of garlic or brown sauce could conceal. I know my lo mein noodles very well, and this was just the worst lo mein I've had, soggy and drowning in sauce. The rice was not fresh, but oh well. Nothing about this place was great anyways, so why pick on rice. Owner wasn't eager to get repeat business, and wasn't trying to make a good impression. IF you are REALLY hungry, you might get over the cons of this place. Just expect to be disappointed.
to the guy above me, its called sharing the experience. Yes, there is more to being Muslim than seeking halal food. And there is more to Halal restaurant than stating they serve halal food. I came as a paying customer, not a guest. If I am paying for a food, I expect it to taste fresh, to taste good, and at least have some decent service, all of which was clearly absent. May Allah forgive you for making assumptions about me. Golden Dynasty responds: I am sorry to hear that you were not pleased with the service and food at Golden Dynasty. We have 100s of satisfied customers who have been coming to our restaurant week after week from all over Central Florida for years. We take pride in our service and the quality of our food. Alhumdulillah with our high food turnover, our food items are the freshest compared to any halal restaurant in the area. We have been in business for over six years now and are the most reviewed halal restaurant in Orlando. I would welcome you to contact me directly from the website and I will personally make sure that you either get your money back or get a free meal on me. We always like to listen to our customers in order to improve. Jazakum Allahu Khairan |

| ★★★★★ golden dynasty has exceptional food and service. i strongly recommend for quality halal food. it doesn't kill your wallet but leaves you satisfied. on my many trips to golden dynasty i never once encountered what the guy under me is mentioning. Its possible that it may have been very busy and he didn't get the full potential of golden dynasty but to make false accusations as such is just wrong. Islam does not teach us to act with haste towards others. Alhumdulilah that he is seeking halal food. But Islam is not to only eat halal food. Their is more. I as a fellow muslim brother wish for him to find his right path to the path of allah. And thank you to the owners of golden dynasty for providing us with great halal food that we can all enjoy. |

My wife likes orange chicken but this is the first time I loved it too. All this food and tea totalled to just $25, which was unbelievable as I am from the dc metro area. |

| ★★★★★ Excellent food. Very professional people. First Desi place where they did not charge for forgetting one dish though still brought it.
Quality of food was above average for halal. Chinese.
They only need to improve. Hot and sour soup Too. Sour ??
Only people with kids need to learn to keep place quiet to respect others By keeping their kids quiet not restaurant 's problem. |

| ★★★★ Masha-Allah, a very nice restaurant with very good food. As many others have said, it's basically a Chinese restaurant with real Chinese cooks (with some desi items also on the menu) run by two Pakistani brothers. I've eaten a few times at the restaurant and also used their catering service for my engagement ceremony. The owners (I've spoken at length with the younger of the two brothers) strike as me good, honest people who care about the customers and the food they serve. The only negative comment I have is that their food is a tad bit on the spicier side, but other than that, I've liked most things I've tried there. I would definitely recommend it, especially if you're in the mood for some real desi and real Chinese food. |

| ★★★★★ Dates visited: March and Nov 2009
Location: about 15 minutes from Disney World
Parking: lots of space in the strip mall.
Experience: Very courteous staff. Loved the food on both visits. The highlight was definitely the Crispy Beef, very unique and comes with a nice sweet and sour sauce. Also had Chillie chicken and chicken low mein, both were great. Since I'm from Pakistan, the spiciness of the food was just right for me but some of the dishes marked spicy/hot may be a bit too much for some of our Arab friends!. The wait was not long and the eating area clean. Bathrooms were clean as well. I asked about space for Salaat and was told that there is an area in the back that they allow customers to use, which was good to know.
OVERALL: after two visits, about 7 months apart, I was very satisfied with the place and would love to visit again. |

| ★★★★★ Long story short. my wife and I were in Melbourne, FL and drove all the way to Orlando to eat here. It was well worth the drive. This restaurant had excellent staff who provided quick service and superbly tasty food while charging a reasonble price. This place has become my current favorite Zabihah Chinese place in the US. |

| ★★★★★ For any halal foody out there, local or a visitor to the area, this is a not to be missed place to try out. We have ate here before and it beats the pants off any other halal place in Orlando including those near Disney. The place is compact, clean (I won't say this for other orlando halal places) and down to earth, with courteous staff who are welcoming and really efficient. As frequent UK visitors to the area, we must eat at this place. The food is EXCELLENT! no exaggeration. We ate so much yesterday, and the staff were more than happy to pack what we left, in large, clean and sturdy containers ($80 for 4 starters, 4 mains, sides and drinks!!!). Mr Lee the chef came out to ensure everything was OK, and when we complimented him on one of his delicious chicken dishes, he even offered to make another portion for us to take home with us for FREE!! Golden Dynasty chinese is truly precious and we were served with a smile, we ate and laughed a lot, my children enjoyed eating there and we left the place with a big smile on our faces. Keep doing what you are doing and may allah reward you for your genuine and quality efforts!! |

| ★★ I used to love this place in the past even though their service was not good. Lately their food has been very inconsistent so I stopped going to this place. |
|
| | Orlando, FL |
| |
|
| ★★ I have received Basmati rice in the past from other Chinese restaurants for the Chinese Fried rice and the rice tasted great. We use that in making Chinese fried rice at home. Basmati rice makes anything taste better even Spanish rice. I have to respectfully decline that reasoning from the owner - Mr. Faruqui. I feel the owners should use at least jasmine rice but not the American long grain rice. My family has spent allot of money at this place and it is a shame to see restaurants stop doing something that makes their food taste so GOOD. At the end, the owner is basically lowering their quality and trying to bring up a feeble attempt for an excuse. Jasmine rice is used quite heavily by the Chinese and all other Orientals all across the world and is sold in all Asian-Oriental grocery stores. That's the type of rice should be used in an authentic Chinese restaurant. If you cater to Muslims then you should use Basmati rice because that is what they are familiar with. I have to agree with the others? Golden Dynasty responds: This is in response for the last few complains regarding the rice. We do not serve basmati rice as they are not good to be eaten with Chinese food and especially chop sticks. Our food is not Desi Chinese like in India/Pakistan. Our food is like any other Chinese in US prepared by Chinese chefs using Halal meat and no pork! We do have a few fusion dish prepared by our Chinese chef using Indian/Pakistani spices and you can order anything with more spices. As for the owner being rude to the staff, I apologize to the customer who claims that. We Have had the restaurant for 5 years now and we treat our employees with great respect and haven't had a complain yet. If you feel something is not right, please bring it to our attention at the very moment and we will try our best to correct it Inshallah! |

THE FOOD WAS HORRIBLE. THE PRICES ARE FINE, SOME PORTIONS WERE NOT UP TO PAR. BUT THE TASTE WAS NOT GOOD AT ALL. Golden Dynasty responds: The owners of GD are not rude! They are from a very respected family of Orlando. The Lady who served you is Alhumdulillah Muslim who has been a server at Golden Dynasty for over six years. We are sorry that you did not like the food but we are never rude to our employees and treat them like family as our religion wants us to. |

| ★★★ I was couple of time last week with my family.
The food is ok but it is true (as mentioned by anathor member) that they dont server basmati rice. So the rice dishes without good quality rice was bad even though the taste was ok. Owner seems to be a nice guy and much better than the owner of Halal chat house who was rude. |

| ★ Went there during Ramadan, food was not good. Fried rice smelled "fishy" and were cooked with regular american long grain rice. Looks like they do not use Jasmine or Basmati rice any more, the financial crisis must have got to them too. Ain't gonna go again. Golden Dynasty responds: We never used basmati rice for our chinsese entrees. We use a combination of Long Grain rice and Jasmine. For Biryani, we use basmati rice. Did you complain about the rice that smelled fishy? If so, were you taken care of by your waiting staff? I would really like to know how your situation was handled. I take pride in the quality of the food and service of my staff and would love to get feedback. Regards, Ahmed |

| ★★★★ Took my family for a combination of chinese and desi food. The chinese dishes (lo mein and beef fried rice) were good, but not spectacular. if you don't ask for spicy or "medium", be prepared for blandness. the chicken tikka masala was decent and the naan was good. service was so-so, with just one person, maybe the owner, doing everything for us and the rest ignoring us. no sign of the forced 20% gratuity for our party of 5 (4.5 really). |

| ★★★ The atmosphere is okay but overall appears clean and a place where you can bring your family for a meal...The menus are filthy (doubt ever cleaned) and there is no discription of any of the items...you just have to ask...The service is very good and fast...The food is good to very good for a halal chinese...but very average for a typical hometown chinese...(it's not a JP Changs)...the thing that erked me is that I was hit a 20% automatic gratuity b/c there were 6 in the party...four adults and two kids (4 and 2) who barely ate...this was not even listed in the menu....when asked...the owner? said that this is allowed in Orlando....This policy was not stated and it appeared to contived ...I abhore dishonesty and I feel this was being dishonest not disclosing their policy upfront. Golden Dynasty responds: We have a sign saying that we will add 15% to party of 6 or more and also it is on the front page of the menu. However, it is never 20%. Also, I offered this lady to have the gratuity removed or lowered from 15 to 10% but she liked the service and the food and decided to pay the final bill. Only Allah knows that I will shut down this business before being dishonest about 5% of a check that goes to my servers. |

| ★★★★ The food here was good. When we stayed in Orlando for a week, we came here 3 or 4 times but partly because there are not many decent alternatives. The decor is uninteresting, tired, dated and almost non-existant but even now, I still yearn for their chicken jalfrezi. So far as chinese dishes, we only tried the chicken shanghai which was not bad nor particularly memorable. Oh yes, they certainly knew how to do fresh naan breads ! To conclude overall though, definitely 2 thumbs up from me and my wife ! |

| ★★★★★ Wonderful restaurant. I go here often ad the food is consistently up to par. The service is friendly and the owner down to earth. They try hard to meet your needs. Unlike most halal places the Golden Dynasty is always impeccably clean and have cute decor. You absolutely can't beat their crispy chicken, their garlic beef or their hot and sour soup. They also have the tastiest desi food around very yummy seekh kabob. This picky eater gives golden dynasty and all of it's employees a two thumbs up!!! |

| ★★★★★ I was going through the reviews and was surprised to see the last three negative reviews. I have been going to this restaurant for the past 6 years and the food is better now then ever!! The prices have gone up like the rest of the restaurants so I guess they are in the business to make money!! Food is great, service is great never have to wait for food for more then 20 to 25 minutes! Most gora restaurants are 45 minutes wait outside and then atleast 30 minutes to bring the food!! There is not a single restaurant in town with that many positives! I go to GD at least twice a week once for my 1 star Honey Garlic/Mongolian Beef and once for my Chicken Bihari and Nihari. Best naans in town too!! Oh, and if something is not right, TELL them and they will make it right! The owner serves along with Kristina adn they are wonderful!! |

| ★★ This place used to be great, but lately food has been horrible. It is cold, seems like the food is pre cooked and they just stick it in the micorwave to warm it. Also portions are very small for what they charge. Used to be a good place but since last 6 months its gone down, done giving them chances. |

|
| ★ HORRIBLE food. I don't know even if they understand how to cook. Tasteless, OILY and VERY PRICY. Had bad experience the first time so we gave them a chance and tried the second time hoping to get better food. We were disappointed again. So if you like to waste your money and time and on the top of that have awful food then go there. |

| ★★ After reading all the reviews for this place we went to check it out and had a horrible experience. We have gone there a few times to give the place a chance but it has been terrible each time. Bad service, rude waiters and stale old food! I don't think we will ever be going there again. Since dinner was so bad we decided to try the dessert so we ordered a falooda and it was just pretty much Vanilla ice cream which took them 30 minutes to make! I don't understand why people go here when there are much better restaurants in the area! |

All in all I'd rate them a 4.7 .

| ★★★ I've ate here many times. It's hard to get fresh food here though. One advice I would say is to go there on the weekend, that's the only time I've had fresh food there. When its fresh its pretty good. Only thing I hate about the place is the Russian Immigrants that are the servers, I can't understand a word they say and are very rude. Overall, foods good on the weekends, and take the food to-go! |

| ★★★★★ Must go there if visiting Florida. It was really good, the chinese is better than the pakistani. The chicken corn soup was the best, and we enjoyed it. Saw alot of peope taking huge take out catering orders and it looked like business was good. Another Must Have. |

|
| ★★★ This place used to be wonderful under the previous owners. Now the prices have gone up and the flavor diminished. The new owners and waitresses are extremely irritating and don't know the difference between being friendly and being pushy. Also the level of spice is unpredictable. Sometimes "medium" burns your mouth and other times you barely taste the flavor. Not something I would go out of my way for. |

|
| ★★★★ Crispy chiken was great but u better have a sturdy stomach to eat here.. I came down bad. Some of their items are breaded before time so they can be cooked up in a hurry. Hence not everything is the freshest, so keep that in mind. Like I tried the orange chicken and it tasked okay but could have been better. Prices reasonable and service courteous. |

| ★★★★★ Great experience everytime. I came here last year after I came to know about it through zabihah.com. It was a fantastic experience. This time I am here for a week for a meeting and we have already been there twice!! I took one of my colleagues there as well and his family loved it too. I was afraid that the food might be too spicy for them. However, they cooked the food just the way they wanted, retaining the authenticity of original chinese culinary experience intact. Falooda for desert was very good. Prices are reasonable. Have and would always recommends this place to my friends and family. |

| ★★ About as much atmosphere as the moon. Food arrives on polystyrene plates and with plastic knives and forks. Food has an odd taste to it (perhaps caused by the plates). Not impressed. |

|
| ★★★★ Food is served in polystyrene plates and plastic forks - food is priced high even for carry out. Chinese food is authentic and good and service too. Choice of Indian food menu is limited but good. Try Bihari kababs. Indian food is not served as the chef is of every Tuesday. I do thank the owners for catering halal food, may Allah reward them. |
