| Every once and a while, you’ve got to change it up. Every restaurant opening up these days is fusion this and fusion that. What ever happened to the restaurant that focuses in on what they know best. It seems that traditional Chinese Food has all but disappeared. Well, I’m happy to report, that with everything in this world, there are those exceptions. Golden Dynasty, located at 416 North Country Road, St James lives up to the standards of its name sake. Rich and bountiful selections of Szechuan, Cantonese and Hong Kong style cuisine in an elegant dining room setting. I remember how much I enjoyed going out to the Chinese restaurant with a bunch of my friends. We’d order a lot of different things and have a smorgasbord of entrees to share. It was great! You’d get a chance to try everything. You know what….those days are coming back! Whether ordering take-out or coming in for a one of a kind dining experience, Golden Dynasty has the freshest dishes you won't soon forget. The menu is vast, so take your time before making your selection. When it comes to Chinese food, I’m a traditionalist and just keep going back to what works. For starters, the spare ribs are incredibly good. There is something about the tang of the Chinese spare rib sauce that is just like no other flavor. Meaty and moist, you will not be disappointed. Complementing the ribs perfectly are the cold noodles in a sesame sauce. It’s all you are going to need to get started. The allure for me has always been General Tso’s Chicken. There is something about the crunch of the exterior with that kind of savory yet sweet sauce that always gets me. Hate to share, but I will, as there are many other things I like to try. I’m not sure why, but the only place you seem to get large shrimp is in a Chinese Restaurant. Try the Golden Dynasty Prawns; presented crispy and boldly seasoned with wine, ginger, garlic, and imported soy sauce on a bed of bean sprouts and shredded snow peas. Wow! Simply delish. Oh yes. Don’t forget the veggies. The Eggplant in the Hot Garlic Sauce is what it takes, complimented by, believe it or not…just plain white rice is all I need to complete my meal. There are of course far more to choose from. Just go to their website at goldendynastyli.com and bring yourself back to the traditions of Asian food without the fusion. The taste you experience at Golden Dynasty is one that has been passed down for generations. For more information, call 631-250-9888. |
