Dynasty BBQ

I came here with 3 other friends and we all loved the skewers here! The lady playing the chinese instrument at the corner was a lovely touch and the music was nice. We got beef and lamb skewers and they were cooked well and had a great chewy texture! The duck blood dish was sooo good. If you like duck blood you'd easily like this. The food came out pretty quick and was able to order easily on the qr code scanned on phone.

I recently checked out the new Dynasty BBQ location in Newark, and it definitely lived up to the hype! If you've been to the San Mateo spot, you'll feel right at home here. I came on a weekday, and there was no wait, which was a nice bonus.The beef and lamb skewers were absolutely delicious--perfectly charred and bursting with flavor. They have a great selection of other Chinese skewers as well, each one cooked to perfection.One thing you have to order is the eggplant. It's so flavorful, with tons of garlic that really makes it stand out. Trust me, it's a must-get!Overall, the food was amazing, and I'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend this spot if you're in the area!

I went for dinner on a Sunday night. We were first ones seated at 5pm opening and the restaurant filled up quickly by around 6pm. STARS (stand out qualities)-I especially enjoyed the Egg plant and lamb-Aside from exceptions below, most of the food was very tasty -Beautiful traditional Chinese interior -Food came out fast -Prices seem reasonable STAIRS (areas of growth) -Carpet at entrance needs to be replaced or fixed since it seemed like you could easily trip over it -Beef skewer (not slices) was a bit dry -Shrimp seemed a bit over cooked and pricy-Server walks over with the skewered food. I recommend serving on a plate or platter as it just seemed like some food street vendor handing to youStill gave 5 stars since the pros outweighed the areas of growth. TIPS-some food required cutting or slicing to share so you can ask if they have a knife. We happened to have food scissors

If you have no previous experience with Chinese style barbecue skewers, this might be acceptable. This type of dining should be vibrant like a pub. While their dining area was clean and fairly comfortable, it was not fun or lively. Service was acceptable.Prices are elevated. Perhaps it is because there is no competition for this type of business in the area.

Skewers of seasoned meat and vegetables cooked fresh and served to you - just click (responsibly) to order from your phone and fill up your belly!This Chinese establishment serves up some deliciously seasoned protein options skewered and roasted fresh before they're brought to your table. Most of the seasoning had chili on it so almost everything has a nice kick to it. If you can't handle spice, you may want to keep the water handy (they give a pitcher for each table) or rinse it off before consumption. I personally enjoy the flavors and couldn't get enough of it! The seasoning is about the same for everything so you're just really deciding on the type of protein/textures you're looking to explore.This place gets packed really soon after opening and stays pretty busy throughout the night so I recommend coming early or prepare to wait. There isn't a whole lot of room inside nor are there too many big tables (they may be able to slide some side to side) so consider coming with small to medium sized parties. There is a waitlist you can join but just come a few minutes before opening and you'll be fine. They have a parking lot shared with other shops but it's a pretty quiet mall so there is no issue with getting a spot.As you walk in, you'll be illuminated by decorative lighting and wooden fixtures along the wall and ceiling. It gives off a traditional feel and gets you in the mood for some good old fashioned BBQ. Do be mindful of the rugs, however, as I almost tripped a few times walking past the bits of carpet that was raised up.Everything is ordered through the online menu available via the QR code at the table. If it's your first time here, consider signing up to their free membership program as you can earn cash back to be used when you checkout. Each person at your table can use the QR code to open the menu and add items for the table. When it is time to check out, one person can request to pay and the server will come to process your payment.They have a variety of different options on their menu, including meat, seafood, and vegetables. Among their meat options, they have lamb, chicken and beef. A lot of the succulent meat options are tenderloin pieces, but my personal favorite were the alternative cuts of meat, including tripe, gizzard, and hearts. They also have fish, shrimp, tofu and stinky tofu on skewers. In addition, they also have premade plates of mixed vegetables (it's refreshing) and sliced beef (it's a cold cut and delicious). If you're looking for some carbs, they do also have noodles and rice.After placing an order, it's sent to the kitchen to start cooking up your food fresh. As you wait, you can order more and enjoy some drinks as you chat it up with your party. Just be careful - the costs can creep up but fortunately, the tab is tracked well in the online ordering browser page. When the food is ready, they'll hand deliver the skewers to you and place it in your warming plate. They do rattle off the orders as they place them down but you can always ask to clarify if you're unsure.Unfortunately, they don't have much selection when it comes to desserts but the main event is the BBQ, so it was no big deal. But because the mall is pretty barren, we had to travel down a few blocks to get to some meaningful sweets to cap off the meal.Furthermore, they have a single bathroom stall that does make it challenging for families taking turns to use it. It's pretty spacious and relatively clean.Overall, Dynasty BBQ will have your mouth tingling with their house combination of spices and you'll have a great time trying their different meat options - all with just a few taps with your fingertips. For the lazy who want to just dig in, this is the place for you as they cook all their food before they serve it to you and the come out piping hot out of the kitchen just minutes after you place your order. Skewers with a great vibe without all the smoke - sign me up!

Yum! Overall, Dynasty BBQ offers a dining experience that's fast, delicious, and affordable. It's also open late in the evening, which makes it convenient.Everything here is skewered and prepared for you. On the plus side -- no effort on your part. On the negative side -- if you order a lot, the skewers can cool down too much, even with their warming contraption they provide.As far as the food offerings: they provide a nice variety, and virtually every option is delicious and executed well.The meats are definitely a win. My top picks? The chicken heart, lamb, beef, chicken gizzard, bacon-wrapped enoki mushrooms, quail eggs, and buns (not a meat, but butter and delicious when grilled). All are absolute highlights. Additionally, the sliced potatoes, oyster mushrooms, and pork intestines are also solid choices. Would order all aforementioned again.Drawbacks:The only miss for me was the veggie rolls, but it was pretty bad. I found it impossible to chew and flavorless. Avoid.Everything seems to have the same seasoning -- and fortunately it's a tasty blend -- but it can feel one-dimensional without any variety or any dipping sauce.Would have loved some greens like lettuce to balance the meal. Low effort and low cost and would go a long way.The food didn't stay hot for long, which was a letdown. Improving how they keep meat warm would really elevate the experience since that's the beauty of grilled food.That said, this spot is great for what it is--a fast, casual BBQ joint. If you're hungry later in the evening, this place is 100% worth a stop. Quick and efficient service, easy phone ordering with a QR code, and pretty satisfying food.

Friendly service. Cute little spot. Do note the name is different on the sign lolFood - good skewers! I especially liked the warming plate to keep your items warm while you eat. Hands down my fav is always the bread and the choy. I love the spices they use. The bread was pillowy soft on the inside with a nice crisp on the outside. Meats were good too!There's a bathroom in the back, I did not go but my partner did. Said it was decent Parking - shared lot with other businesses, could get busy but abundant parking spaces.

Even though the name sounds Japanese, this place is definitely a Chinese restaurant that specializes in BBQ, not yakitori. The decor is very nice, but the pictures make the restaurant deceptively big when in reality its pretty small.I came on a Sunday night and there was a small wait at 6:00pm. For busier days, I would recommend coming earlier to put your name down on the Yelp wait list.We ordered a bunch of skewers. korean cold noodles and spicy rice noodles. The skewers all have pretty big portions and are fairly priced given the environment. For first timers, the lamb skewers are a must order. The noodle orders were also yummy, though the spicy rice noodle is pretty spicy. I just wish the restaurant was bigger since it did feel a little cramped. Although there are many other skewer places, this place fits the bill for a more upscale one in terms of decor and vibe.

First time at a Chinese bbq.. The beef, pork and lamb skewers were the table favorites! Got multiple orders of those. Quail and quail eggs were also nice . Pair with sides fresh vegetables for balance . I loved the warm sweet buns too. Everything was kept hot on the bbq plate. Things that didn't wow as much was the seafood & veggie skewers- squid ,shrimp, bacon covered mushrooms, oyster mushrooms , chicken hearts etc. The spicy rice noodle bowl was also dark, rich and had the distinct Shanghai pepper flavor! The ambiance was beautiful and service prompt. We just missed the live music, but if you are lucky , you'll spot the traditional musical instruments and live artist. Overall a total hit on the flavors and food. Will recommend and come again

This might be my newest favorite Chinese Skewers restaurant in the South Bay-ish area ever since my previous favorite place in San Jose closed down.The most memorable order was the beef tongue. This skewer was super tender and I would 100% order again.The one meat that stood out to me as not so good was their beef skewer. I'm not sure if it's the cut of meat they used that night or if the timings were off, but it was over cooked and chewy.Everything else was overall enjoyable. The seasoning used by Dynasty was very well balanced and would probably appeal to a lot of people. Though, I prefer my seasoning with more cumin.If you like stinky tofu, I also recommend getting this dish. It's a bit dry because it was grilled instead of fried, but the flavor is definitely there! I think this particular dish could have improved with a sauce.
