Chi Dynasty

We love Chi Dynasty. We have tried many Chinese restaurants, and time and time again this one wins hands down. We recently went to Chi Dynasty and as always it was a fabulous experience. The family who runs this restaurant always remembers us and welcomes us when we come. The restaurant itself has recently moved down the street from its original location due to a change in rent, but we like the new location even better. 

We always start off with a soup and this time it was the Wonton soup. This soup consists of a clean simple chicken broth, juicy shrimp, crunchy snow peas, bamboo shoots, carrots, baby corn, straw mushrooms and wontons stuffed with chicken. It is a must for any soup lover. After this we decided to share two dishes. The first one being the our favorite must have dish, The Lake Tung Ting Shrimp.

This dish again has shrimp, snow peas, mushrooms, carrots, and baby corn, but also includes broccoli.  The thing that makes this dish so delicious is the white sauce with bits of egg mixed in. The egg itself reminds us of the egg mixed into an egg drop soup. It doesn't have that scrambled egg quality. We love this dish, it is very healthy with a generous portion of vegetables and shrimp.

The next dish we tried is one we have not had before. It was the Homestyle Tofu and was amazing. This dish is full of big pieces of tofu that are fried and served with red peppers, green peppers, and shitake mushrooms in a spicy brown sauce. The tofu was cooked perfectly. It was fried on the outside but so soft on the inside. The sauce itself had the right amount of heat and we loved the peppers and mushrooms with the tofu. 

We highly recommend Chi Dynasty. It is amazing everytime. Oh and don't be fooled by the Palace down the street. It may be in the same location as the old Chi Dynasty, but it is not even in the same universe.

Chi Dynasty is located at 1813 Hillhurst, Los Feliz CA 90027
