Love the coated chicken fillet served in a chili and garlic sauce with veg, accompanied with rice or noodles is a delicious dish! And the set meals for 1 feed for 2 days! to get it delivered is a bonus. Lovely friendly staff . Thankyou
We used to use the Delightful in West Town which has always been fantastic. This has since closed and the management which owned both Delightful and Dynasty now rebranded this one in Southwood Road to De Lightful Dynasty. Tried it out a couple of weeks ago with our usual order. First thing I noticed is prices of some dishes have gone up.... and not by just a few pennies either. £5.60 for a Beef Chow Mein at Delightful West Town is now £7.00 at De Lightful Dynasty. Secondly the portion sizes is reduced. You used to get a full deep container and now it was barely 2/3 full. Thirdly and the most important in my opinion is how it tasted. In my opinion it wasn't great. The quality of the meat was poor compared to usual standards and didn't really taste of anything. Infact nothing we ordered tasted particularly great. There were leftovers hanging around in our fridge for days which went uneaten and ended up being thrown out. That simply doesn't happen in our house. So all things considered it was disappointing. Same management present from the old Delightful in West Town but not sure about the cooks and whether that's a regular Dynasty thing. I'll probably give them another go later in the year on a quiet midweek to see if that has any baring on the quality/quantity (we'd ordered for a Saturday and as expected it was very busy).
Waited 2 hours for expensive, bland tasting meals. Very disappointed.
Firstly, the people who work there are really nice and friendly and are very considerate of the customers. On my order I wanted certain requirements and they were able to fit my needs with customer satisfaction.
The food was absolutely DELICIOUS! The chefs must do a superb job in the kitchen because this was the best Chinese take away I have ever had. The duck pancakes were finger licking good, with the chicken fried rice and beef in satay sauce being off another planet! Absolute wonderful food! Even the chips and curry sauce were mouth watering in flavour!
110% would recommend this place! Great food with a great price!
Dynasty was superb, the new shop not so. The menu has shrunk, so have the portions, but the prices have gone up! Now get less for paying more. I used to enjoy the English dishes like the omelettes etc, but they are all gone too. Was once our go to Chinese on the Island, now we just don't bother a real shame.
Used to be the best on the island, not any more, average of around 7 pounds a dish and so salty we threw it away. Same order every time and it has gone up 10 pounds in 4 years while the portion sizes have shrunk. Not what it was I am afraid.
The food I had was very bland, would not use this Chinese again.
In my opinion, the best on the Island. Vast menu, excellent quality and good sized portions at a reasonable price. Order over the phone and collect when ready. No deliveries.
Since the take over a few months ago, it is no longer the best. They put the prices up, cut back on the portion size and stopped the free prawn crackers. Plus the meals are no longer tasty.
