Eastern Dynasty 粤品

Came here with friends for dinner and it was clearly a popular spot—we had to put our name down and waited about 30 minutes for a table. Totally worth it though! Once seated, service was good and pretty quick, even with how busy it was. Everything we ordered was solid, but the Peking Duck is the real standout and absolutely worth getting. It comes in two courses: first, the crispy duck meat and skin served with soft bao buns, then a second course of ground duck served with lettuce wraps. Both were delicious and full of flavor. If you’re planning a dinner out and don’t mind a bit of a wait, this place is definitely worth checking out—especially for the duck!

西湖牛肉羹 - Beef soup with cilantro. I HATE this soup but my wife loves it. Though I hate it, I've to admit they did an excellent job with the soup. The egg wash was done with perfect balance. The beef was cut perfectly. It's not minced. And flavor was good. 鹹魚雞粒炒飯粒炒 - Chinese anchovies chicken fried rice - This dish is how you can tell if they are traditional Cantonese style cuisine chef. It was well done. Not everyone like this dish because of the Chinese 燒肉燒鴨雙拼 - roast pork and roast duck combo - Impressive. The skin of the roast duck is crispy and the flavor was very good. It's legit! Roast pork was excellent at well. However, I prefer a more intense flavor. The skin was crunchy too. I'm delighted to find such good Cantonese cuisine in San Diego. I wish I've tried the beef chow fun and sweet and sour pork, that'll tell how good this place is.

We came to Eastern Dynasty Restaurant for a weekday lunch and were surprised that the restaurant was not full at all. A year or two ago, people would have lined up for the restaurant to open to get in. Today was our luck day as there were plenty of parkings everywhere in the same plaza as Jeong Won BBQ & BonChon, etc. Normally, it’s a challenge to find parking. The waiter greeted us warmly and sat us down immediately and served us the free hot tea. Restaurant is small but clean with relaxing vibes. The dishes we ordered were salty fish & chicken tofu clay pot, pea pod leaves sautéed in garlic sauce and the deli BBQ combo of roast duck and roast pork belly served with the usual hoisin and the tangy plum dipping sauce. The tangy dipping plum sauce was “chef’s kiss” as it paired so well with the deli BBQ combo especially the roast duck. Food did not disappoint and it was not greasy or salty like a lot of Chinese dishes found in most restaurants here in San Diego. The only suggestion for improvement was for the salty fish & chicken tofu clay pot dish as the portion was on the smaller side and the taste was rather bland. It could have been better to include more ingredients to bring out the salty fish flavor for the dish. The pea pod leaves was cooked to perfection as the veggie retained the green freshness look and taste. The roast duck was moist with the familiar delicious crunchy skins. The roast pork belly was our favorite as the spices used took us way back when we were in Hong Kong. So good. The portions were on the smaller side and the restaurant charged $2 for one bowl of white rice, ouch! It’s a criminal act to charge for cooked rice in a Chinese restaurant. This is a solid Cantonese restaurant. Service was quick and waitstaff members were kind, friendly and the tea kept coming upon request; the waitstaff provided useful information to help us decide on which dishes to order. We enjoyed our meal at Eastern Dynasty and will definitely visit again to try other authentic Cantonese dishes.

Our group of 4 people order 4 main dishes and 2 bowls of rice to start. Every dish was delicious. Eggplant and fish, French style beef, shrimp and vegetables, and roast duck were perfect. The chef even accommodated our request. The wait staff were efficient and helpful. Hopefully, the pictures will be helpful and appetizing. We arrived at 1pm on a Saturday and there was no line at all, seated immediately. Parking, well, we parked on the nearby street; parking here is tough so plan on circling the lot of parking nearby.

My go to place for great Chinese food. Ordered the beef chow fun and the pork belly with preserved vegetables. Both were tasty and very good. The beef in the chow fun was so tender and the noodles were perfect consistency. My go to place!

This is a small Chinese restaurant specializing in Cantonese cuisine. This is our second visit and were not disappointed at all. The cold chicken is delicious and served with an onion and ginger sauce. The calamari was a bit tough but very fresh. The roasted pork belly and fried tofu is delicious. Each portion was just the right size to share for two people. The whole dinner was about $48. Nit bad for three dishes. The place is clean and well maintained. The staff is very attentive and the manager checks on every table. They have wine and beer. Our tea came with the diner. The service was quick but not overtly fast. Just the right pace. Typical, dishes come out as they are ready, so our cold chicken hit the table first, followed by the fried calamari and then the clay pot. Highly recommend this award winning restaurant !

Duck I was told was good however Kung Pao chicken was like eating dessert with chicken. Loaded with sugar and salt( no idea why). Needless to say it wasn’t good. Maybe other dishes are good however I don’t think I’ll return. The service is good.

The food came out quickly. Moderately priced and authentic, however it just was not all that tasty. It will suffice if you are Chinese and missing some Chinese food in San Diego, but nothing special. Decently large portions though! The owners and servers are all kind and the restaurant is nice.
