Love the small bite sized meats. I think the smaller pieces cook better and are likely to get overcooked but with a good amount of BBQ flavor. And Dynasty BBQ is able to do that! Their spices are also just at the right level of spicyness to it without being too overpowering. Love the decorations and staff were helpful.

Dynasty BBQ has one of the best lamb skewers in the town! Vegetable skewers are also extremely tasty and outstanding, and the egg plant had the most amount of garlic I’ve seen. The Korean style cold noodle is surprisingly authentic and delicious, I would revisit just for that on a sunny day!

Dynasty BBQ is a fantastic spot for authentic and flavorful skewers! The lamb skewers are generously portioned and packed with rich, traditional seasoning, while the Yangliu skewers are perfectly grilled with just the right amount of spice. Dishes come out fast, making for a smooth and enjoyable dining experience. The cold noodles, chilled appetizers, and Gongcai (tribute vegetables) are also delicious, adding refreshing balance to the meal. A must-visit for BBQ lovers looking for bold flavors and hearty portions! Their dessert of 凉粉 is also splendid!

The place is pretty clean, better than a normal BBQ restaurant. Food is well prepared and came surprisingly fast, and they just keep coming one after the other. Food tastes a little bit salty, but overall is pretty good. They also have cash back if you join the membership.

Delicious and authentic Chinese BBQ!!! This place is a hidden gem. We discovered this place unintentionally and we were glad we did it. The food was amazing. The service was quickly and attentive. And, the store was decorated cozily and atmospheric. There was also live music last time we dined in.Actively recommend this restaurant! We invited friends over and they love this place, too. Yummy food at decent prices!

When you think about Chinese meat / lamb skewers in the Bay Area, you first think of the need to drive down to Cupertino. Living in the Peninsula, that may thus not be a viable option often. Well, fret no more. Dynasty in San Mateo delivers a quality skewer experience at a very reasonable price.In judging the skewers, it is always about the freshness of the ingredient, the spices you use, and the balance of price, atmosphere, and beer or other types of alcohol. Dynasty gets all of this quite right.The lamb and beef skewers are of quality and taste. The beef toungue and other exotic parts too hit above their weight. The Chinese donuts were a bit of a miss (as the bread was hard) but the Chinese white buns were so soft and sweet. Dynasty also boasted quite a bit of side dishes like noodles and soup. We tried the scallop vermicelli which was seriously of Michelin caliber. Overall, a fantastic experience worth of 5 stars.Now some constructive criticism. First, the main spice is used too frequently, on meat, bread, and everything in between. After a while, it may start tasting similar no matter what you order. Second, barely anyone speaks English, which may be okay because you're just ordering it at the table via their website. Service is super-fast though. Third, be prepared to wait. The line will build up quickly unless you go early.We will absolutely return to Dynasty. We're so glad we discovered this kingdom.

If you’re craving authentic Chinese skewers in San Mateo this is a must-visit! The traditional decor is beautiful, service is friendly, and the food is flavorful and well-seasoned without being too spicy.We loved everything from Hawaiian Pineapple Chicken, Beef Tongue, Duck Tongue, Chicken Heart, Quail, Stinky Tofu, to Lamb and veggie skewers. The Cold Cucumber side was the perfect refreshing balance to the rich skewers, and the Ice Jello dessert was a light, sweet finish.

On a Tuesday night 7pm, there is still 15 minute wait. This place is popular. You order off a QR code and the system supports multi user ordering for the same table. The skewers are tasty. I wish the skewers are spicier so next time I will put in an extra request. You get a birthday gift bag if you show your ID on the day of your birthday!
