    My office fondly refers to the place as Hon "La Hair" Dynasty... or the Dy-Nasty. A co-worker and I ordered from their lunch menu, because they had a nice offering of combos. They deliver for free and the Dynasty offers all the standards. We were excited about our meal... until it arrived. The food was alright, though cheap, but nothing special. Just kind of average until... we found a hair, complete with follicle, in BOTH of our dishes. Additionally, I am a vegetarian and I am not sure that my dish was actually meat free. It totally killed the lunch time excitement and I have never been able to even think of eating there again. All in all, not worth spending the money, go somewhere else.

    If you're hankering for a lunch fix in Waltham, I've got just the place for you. I've been consistently impressed with Hon Dynasty; the food is well above average for Chinese fare, and their lunch specials are astonishingly cheap. I can get an order of the General's chicken (the menu says it's orange chicken, but I think we all know better) with a big old portion of pork fried rice and 3 spareribs for $6.50. $6.50! It's typically more than I can eat (and I refer you to the full disclosure in my Carl's review: I am not a petit individual), and doesn't leave me with my typical post-Chinese-food-gorging malaise. Less MSG, maybe? I dunno. I've only eaten there when it's been fairly slow, but the service was great. The decor is a bit Spartan, but if it gets me my $6 lunch special, so be it. I recommend the fried Peking ravioli: perfect spicing, and an unusual (but delicious!) texture in the noodle. My one complaint is with the egg rolls, which I cannot in good conscience let slide: find another appetizer.

    I got takeout here a few years ago. I thought the beef and brocolli skimped out on the beef and the broccoli was really gross. The veggies were greasy and the chicken fingers tasted awful, loaded up with msg. There was not a single dish that I enjoyed out of the several that we ordered. I should mention that I got sick ten minutes after eating the food. I had GI problems for the next two days. The are much better takeout options for Chinese in Waltham( Asia Wok, Lily's, Three Fortunes) just to name a few. Probably will never try again.

    Quality dinners and lunch specials. I look forward to ordering take out form here every Saturday! Clean, Friendly, Reasonable prices. Best Chinese food in Waltham!

    After blowing this place off for a few years, a co-worker made me go there. Even at lunch on a Friday there was NO customers there which made me uneasy. I must say that I was pleasantly suprised even after reading the reviews on here before I went. The lunch specials were numerous and very reasonably priced. The only girl working the front was polite and fast. The food was cooked fresh and pretty fast. They bring over chinese noodles, water & tea while the meal is being cooked which was nice. The place was clean and overall neat. 2 lunch specials and 1 soda was $15. I got a lunch combo of pork fried rice, chicken wings & chicken fingers and everything was fantastic. Cripsy & fresh chicken fingers that were cooked perfectly and actually had real chicken inside. The chicken wings were cooked perfectly too and had a crispy brown/golden outside and juicy inside plus they were pretty big in size. Lastly, the fried rice was a huge portion and very tasty. Actual pork, not mystery meat chunks or fatty nuggets. Little-to-no onion chunks (I hate chunks)and no sprouts is huge in my book. I think another reviewer mentioned the lack of grease and they were right. I hate "chinese mouth" (similar to hangover mouth) after eating chinese but we didn't get that here! They must use some special oil or something but didn't sacrafice any taste in doing do! Def ilke it, some of the better chinese food in Waltham so far!

    My husband is being kind when he says we should give this place 1 and 1/2 stars. He says the chicken fingers and beef teriyaki were decent. Ok I'll give him that. I say the mooshi shrimp and spring rolls were terrible. You know that scene in "Tommy Boy" when David Spade talks about the shrimp and seeing what the shrimp had for dinner...ie....they hadn't been devained....yeah that's about what I was seein'. Everything was greasy and over fried. The only, only saving grace was the crab rangoon which seemed homemade, but I'm still not sure. The prices were high for chinese food. It was over $5 for two spring rolls and/or a small order of crab rangoon. Some of the entrees were around $12-$15. Finally, there's the outrage I feel that this place was voted "Best of Waltham" for many consecutive years. Come on Waltham peeps I know you know better. Oh and the take-out order arrived in 10 minutes. That was really odd. Especially when they said 30 minutes.

    Note: I ordered here because I love a good and fried pupu platter. I'm not a high-brow Chinese food fan - if you want fancy Chinese, go to Chinatown. The sweet and sour sauce is the BEST in Waltham, I'll never order from another chinese takeout spot again, Hon Dynasty is the answer to my prayers. The eggrolls were okay, not spectacular, but the fried shrimp was quite pleasing. I hunted the chinese takeout joints in Waltham for MONTHS looking for a restaurant that served the sweet and sour sauce I craved - orange with pineapples and cherries. (Not red w/peppers and carrots.) Hon Dynasty has that sauce. Tart, sweet and delicious. Another drawback - the duck sauce is rather bland, but that's a small price to pay for the sweet and sour experience of my dreams.

    As Kit N already wrote "this is your run of the mill American Chinese Food takeout place." Good portions with lunch and dinner combos. I like the BbQ spareribs and the sweet and sour chicken, which they are smart enough to serve the thick and very sweet "lava sauce" on the side. As someone who has run the Waltham Chinese takeout gauntlet, this is one I return to. When I want something more authentic I head in to Chinatown.

    This is terrible. I ordered this not 30 minutes ago because the place I usually order from happens to be closed today unexpectedly. This food is so terrible that instead of finishing what I ordered, I am writing this review, and I am just ordering pizza instead. I ordered General Tso's Chicken, and the "stuff" they delivered to me is soggy, bland/flavorless, and entirely disgusting. It is completely alien to any General Tso's Chicken I've ever had before, and I do not intend on ever ordering from this place again.

    I've been here several times and I must say, I hated it the first time. But I always give a place two tries before calling it "bad". The first time the rice was soggy and the chicken flavorless. The greeter seem like he was forced to he there. But the second time was different. The rice was better and the guy was smiling! So I continued coming here. I think today marked my 6th time here. It's your everyday Chinese take out with plenty of seating. It was clean bit the carpet needs to be replaced. I ordered pepper steak and bonesless spate ribs. The pepper steak was good and the spareribs flavorful. I just didn't like how the spare ribs were cut. There were three big pieces as opposed to several thinner strips. This meant I had to take bites out of them or use a knife. The price was cheap and big portions. Only reason why it didn't get 5 stars is because there was nothing spectacular and the staff just seem like they're very unhappy. I would go again. But not a place that I would recommend to visitors from out of town.

    I decided to give this place a shot after reading a couple of reviews on Yelp, but I was pretty disappointed by my experience. The dumplings(Peking Ravioli) I got were burnt and barely had any filling. The dumpling sauce also spilled all over the bag so that didn't help much. The General Gau's chicken was extremely rubbery and had barely any flavor to it. Delivery and prices were pretty typical. I'm hoping this is an atypical experience, but I don't have any plans on ordering again from this place.

    A great film once asked the question: "What do you know about Hon?" well I'll tell you folks what I know about Hon Dynasty... I was visiting with my elderly uncle who lives in the nearby Charlesbank apartments. He doesn't really get out much so I wanted to treat him to some tasty morsels. The old fella happens to love Chinese food, having spent a number of years in Asia with the military. He loves crab rangoons especially. I mean he actually LOVES them. I was getting a bit hungry that evening and my uncle was ready to eat a horse! We usually get takeout from a place in "The Dale," but there was some road construction being done in that direction and it would have been a major hassle. I had driven by it thousands of times, but I had never tried HD for myself. I picked up the phone and ordered almost every appetizer the little place offered. All of it was average. None of it great. It was some greasy stuff! I had a minor problem with another customer at the place. I was sitting on a chair near the register waiting for my order (it took a long time). A woman came in and sat next to me. She struck up a conversation, which is nice, but at one point she literally looked me up and down and said: "Wow! I bet you can really pack it away!" I found this to be offensive and I told her so. The rest of my wait was done in silence. The big conflict was between my uncle and the crab rangoons. He claimed he couldn't taste the crab! He insisted that I call and ask them if they forgot to add the crab to the cream. Not wanting to upset the guy, I pretended to call up and complain. I told him they had apologized and made him a fresh batch with extra crab. What did I actually do? I called another place named "Shing Yee Restaurant" and ordered a single batch of crab rangoons. Phew! That was a close one. The old man loved the replacement rangoons! It could have been the greasy Hon food or a total coincidence, but that night my uncle's aorta ruptured in his sleep.

    This is your basic American Chinese fast food. If I were looking for a nice chinese restaurant I would give this 2 stars just as I would give McDonalds 1 star if I were looking for a steak house. I ordered the eggdrop soup and the beef with broccali. The eggdrop was Great and the beef with broccali was beter than expected. My friend got the dumplings and sesme chicken. I thought the seseme chicken was slicktly overdone (a little on the chewy side) but she loved it. The dumplings were really cool. Dumplings are my go-to comfort food and I've had my fair share. These had the typical pork and scallion filling but the dough was a lot thicker. It was actual dough instead of the usual wrapping. My friend and I both loved it. The service was fast and friendly and the prices were as inexpensive as you would expect. I found this to be a good fast food place. Enjoy it with those expectations.

    Better than average Chinese takeout. Prices were a little steep - I think 7 bucks is about right for a large appetizer portion, most of them here were 8 or 9 bucks.

    Literally the worst chinese food ever.. Not only did they deliver a shrimp spring roll instead of a vegetarian one, but the won ton soup tasted like hot water only, the lo mein had zero flavor.. Ew..

    Your edible run-of-the-mill Chinese takeout place. The food is slightly greasy, but quite tasty. The reason why I gave it 3 stars was that it was very average. The food was just slightly above average, but still 3 stars because I felt that almost $9 for a lunch special (ordered orange chicken with spare ribs and rice) was a little much for Chinese takeout. I'd eat here again, but because of the price, not often.

    Again, restaurant is closed. Closed it is. No longer open for business. Another restaurant has taken its spot.

    Pork fried rice was very bland...no flavor. Spring roll was extremely fat and SO greasy...it coated my tongue. The mushrooms in my Beef with Mushrooms were canned! The crab rangoons had a good bit of filling so that was a positive. Won't be ordering here again.

    THE best Chinese takeout. For some reason lately i decided I wanted to try every Chinese place in Waltham and Cambridge and settle on a favorite. This was probably my fifth place on that adventure and I'm done. No need to try anything else.

Chinese Cuisine

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.

Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.

There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.
