    Paradise Dynasty – Truly a Dumpling Lover’s Paradise! We absolutely love Paradise Dynasty in Costa Mesa and have been there at least once a month for past few months — it’s hands down our family’s favorite spot for dumplings! The variety here is incredible, especially for anyone who loves flavor and options. From the moment you sit down, you’re welcomed with a menu full of creative dumpling choices that go way beyond the usual. As vegetarians, we’re used to seeing just one veggie dumpling option on most menus — but not here! Paradise Dynasty is truly a paradise for vegetarians. There are tons of delicious veggie options, and each one tastes unique and flavorful. It’s so refreshing to actually have variety! The noodles are just as impressive — each noodle dish has its own distinct flavor and personality. From spicy to savory to rich and comforting, you can really taste the difference in every bite. Nothing feels repetitive or bland. Our kids adore this place — it’s their go-to dumpling restaurant. They always look forward to ending the meal with the warm, gooey chocolate lava buns (a must-try!). And for the grown-ups, the mango pudding is the perfect way to wrap up the meal — light, smooth, and just the right amount of sweetness. If you’re a dumpling fan — especially a vegetarian one — this place is a dream. We’ll definitely keep coming back again and again! Also the service is great and servers actually pay attention and come check on you. Definitely recommend!

    Food was great - service everyone seemed to be to busy to acknowledge us or have time to bring us water or take our order. 15-17 mins after being seated and trying to flag someone done did our order get taken. The food did come in a reasonable time and it was hot. So that was good! The place was not busy so I can’t use that as an excuse for the delay or lack of attention
