"Though the rainbow soup dumplings look like a social media gimmick, the flavor residing inside these hand-tucked beauties is worth the trek to Paradise Dynasty. The Singapore-based restaurant group is making major inroads in the United States on the back of these dumplings, sporting delicate wrappers and creative fillings, from black truffle and spicy Sichuan with kurobuta pork. The menu extends well beyond dumplings, from terrific beef fried rice to a swoon-worthy radish pastry that’s almost too pretty to eat." - Mona Holmes
"Paradise Dynasty was delicious enough that we actually made two visits last week, separated by six days..." - Eater Staff
"The shopping center is so massive, in fact, that it actually houses two giant soup dumpling chains — the other being the first U.S. location of Singapore-based Paradise Dynasty, whose colorful xiao long bao have taken Asia’s cutthroat dumpling scene by storm." - Jenn Tanaka
"The forthcoming soup dumpling battle: Din Tai Fung leaving Americana at Brand for a new address down the street at the Glendale Galleria... and then Paradise Dynasty swooping right into that Caruso tenant vacancy. Checkmate." - Eater Staff
"Paradise Dynasty, known for its colorful xiao long bao and other dim sum staples like pan-fried dumplings, steamed buns, and egg yolk custards, is opening upstairs. The space is designed with black, gold, and grey decor and features a large dining room and kitchen where diners can view the dumpling-making process. The restaurant is part of a dining overhaul at Bloomingdale's in the mall called Collage and will operate with limited hours and capacity until mid-September." - Farley Elliott
