China Dynasty in Braintree

Sewage smell on entry very off putting. Staff friendly and food ok but had to wait an hour ish between courses. Interesting that it was a library.

Great service very friendly. Best Chinese we've ever had.

Service was a bit slow, but food was worth the wait

The best place to eat the family are a great team and always make you feel so welcome cant fault anything about them and the food is the best. Love this place

Omg where to start , service is bespoke and happy to cater for individual needs, food was hot and well cooked, and good portions batter on sweet and sour chicken was light and no grease, pork in my dish was tender and plenty of it , rice was light and fluffy, price was very good, a very nice family run restaurant and I can't recommend highly enough.

A long-standing favourite of ours in Braintree! Eva's service is top-notch—she's personable, professional, and clearly knows how to keep customers satisfied. The food is consistently excellent; I highly recommend the salt and chili ribs and the Thai green curry with king prawns. While they no longer offer an 'All You Can Eat' option as mentioned in older reviews, the quality more than makes up for it. Looking forward to dining in and experiencing their table service. Among the local Chinese takeaways, this one stands out as the best.

Loved this Chinese restaurant... food was perfect as well as the service. Would highly recommend!!

Fantastic fresh food and the service was even better. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would

Fantastic food, 5 star service, every thing freshly cooked ….. lovely restaurant

The loveliest people and amazing food - not greasy or oily which is why we love it! Have eaten at the restaurant and takeaway; our favourite place to eat in Braintree. Fresh food and great value. Thank you xxx

Nice setting,helpful staff,food ok

The service was excellent. The food was very average. There appeared to be a severe shortage of staff! We had to wait over thirty minutes between our starters and the main course. Unforgivable to me. We shall give them one more chance. If no improvement is made,forget it!

Brilliant hospitality, amazing food and great value for money, highly recommend.

We went there for dinner and the service was beyond amazing, kind and considerate staff, delicious food and we will definitely be coming back!

We had such a lovely evening - the meal was so delicious - fresh, hot and so tasty! The staff are so sweet and friendly and really made our family meal so special! Thank you Eva and family for being such great hosts! We can’t wait to come back!!!

Went for a sit down dinner at 21.15. And got told we are only doing take aways not restaurant. So went to weatherspoons instead

Been here a few times now both as a couple and as a large group. Very nice food, friendly service nothing too much trouble. Since moving to the area it’s now my number one place to eat.

China Dynasty never disappoints. Delicious food, fantastic friendly service, reasonable prices.

First time eating here and was really happy with coming here. Service was friendly and food seemed fresh and high quality will definitely be returning☺️

We had a lovely meal last night at China Dynasty in Braintree to celebrate my daughter’s 18th birthday. We received a very happy welcome by Eva and her son Antony who helped to make the evening extra special. Nothing was too much trouble. Eva offered helpful advice and suggestions on some of the dishes. China Dynasty is a small family run business with Eva’s husband being the chef - the food was delicious. All in all, we couldn’t have asked for a better evening. Thank you for making my daughter’s 18th birthday both enjoyable and memorable. We will definitely be back! 😀x

Food is excellent no faults. Service is good, very friendly and helpful staff, quick to get food out. Can be busy so best book.

Amazing food and service. Thank you Eva and Anthony for a perfect meal. Service was exceptional ,nothing was too much trouble and before you even asked there was a replacement napkin, hot towels after the lobster. Food was tasty and well presented sweet and sour sauce was light and not heavy , crispy beef , crispy and not swamped by sauce. We couldn't fault any of the courses and loved the picked vegetables so much we asked for some as a take away. Definitely now our new go to for dine in or take away and for us the best Chinese in the area.

Anthony and Eva are both lovely, attentive and welcoming. The food is great too... Well worth a visit.

Amazing food. As a vegetarian I was worried about having choices but very happily surprised. It had been over 10 years since my previous visit and not disappointed.

I've come here many times now and brought different friends here. It's always the same great experience every time. Staff are so friendly and lovely, honestly best service for miles. Food is always freshly cooked to order and absolutely brilliant. Portion size are good and price is fair too. Restaurant is kept clean too. Would recommend this place for anyone who in the area. And I'll definitely be back regularly.

Phoned my order for pick up and was told ready in 20 mins. Arrived and order ready for me to collect. Customer service was spot on. The food was worth the round trip. Would definitely recommend, food was NOT greasy, it was well seasoned and throughly enjoyed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🥡🥡🥡🥡🥡

It was our first time in this restaurant celebrating my son's 17th. He actually made sure that I'll leave this positive feedback. Amazing aesthetic place, service just exceptional !!! We've been served by a very kind young guy and an amazing lady, who made our visit really pleasant. The food was brilliant , service amazing, atmosphere very calm and relaxing , toilets clean. We all highly recommend this place !!! Thank you guys 🙏

We love this restaurant, fantastic friendly service and great food.

First time there and will definitely be back, very friendly service and great food 👌

Sensational service, excellant food. This Chinese has been in Braintree for many years and the food is still first class. It was our first visit back in 10 years. Made so welcome by Eva and her son. Thank you so much

Great place for a Chinese meal in Braintree. Staff are lovely. Thank you

Had the most delicious Chinese takeaway. Can’t recommend China Dynasty enough. Very friendly staff and very accommodating tweaking some dishes for us. Looking forward to dining in very soon. Best Chinese in Braintree

First time used tonight, it was the best fresh, hot, tasted amazing! Thanks Steve

First visit to China Dynasty in Braintree for my Mum's Birthday and couldn't have been happier with our experience. If you want a delightful family-run Chinese restaurant in Essex with the most friendly, helpful service and exceptional food then don't look any further. My mum even got a lovely cake and Happy Birthday song to round off the fabulous night we had. Would wholeheartedly recommend to friends and family, good value too.

Tried China Dynasty for the first time and it did not disappoint. Eva was so welcoming and friendly, the food was so tasty. Highly recommend the beef in black bean, one of the best I’ve ever had!! Will definitely be back!!

Superb. Wonderful ambience, perfect, friendly service, outstanding food. Just perfect.

5 of us for a birthday meal.what can i say.excellent service and food.we had such a laugh.the staff were so helpful in suggesting how much to order and even played a special happy birthday song when they bought the cake out.would deffinately go back and am considering the take away service in a couple of weeks time

Best Chinese in town! Food is always really excellent and the people who run it have been there for absolutely years and are always so friendly and welcoming. They give a fantastic service. We’ve been a couple of times since review date (no later option available for some reason) and will be there again in a week.

This restaurant is the best I have had in England, their service, atmosphere, staff, and management compliment the food. Now the food, whatever you order it is exquisite, the flavour, size and presentation is perfect. Give this restaurant a go, this is a hidden gem. I will be back whenever I can.

Always amazing all round every time.e we visit. Absolutely love it here, the food is amazing, staff amazing such a relaxing atmosphere.

Come here often and I’ve never had a bad meal. Ever. Eva and Anthony do an amazing job in making you feel so welcome. The pace they work at and still have time to say hi and smile every time is just crazy! Food is lovely and well priced too

Absolutely wonderful! The food was gorgeous, with lots of choice. The service is amazing. Thank you so much for a lovely evening, we’ll definitely be back soon 😀

Staff are really friendly and will keep you informed all the steps of the way with the order. Food is nicely cooked and a lot of varieties

Following the advice on the website we rang to book in advance. Our call wasn't answered, however we had a fast call back and the booking was taken for a Saturday evening. The person that answered the phone was very polite and informative telling us about the banquet was unavailable on a Saturday. When we arrived early we were greeted by a friendly member of staff and asked to wait in the seating area near the bar, sat down shortly after. This is a family run business with mother and son being front of house and were polite and courteous throughout. The food was excellent, kept warm with tealight candle trays. Good prices. Thank you for an enjoyable evening. Highly recommend.

Spent a great evening with my best mate. Had a few beers and some great Chinese food. The staff were very friendly and the service was great. Will definitely be going again.

Food was very nice and well worth the money 💰 you pay the staff was also very helpful and nothing was to much for them

We had a trip to Braintree to see family. Went for Chinese. Absolutely gorgeous food and service outstanding. Wonderful night.

Exceptional service, food is very good and price is reasonable and fair. We visit quite regularly and our grand daughter (3) loves it.

They're some of the most friendly people I've met and the food is amazing, have been there several times I thoroughly recommend it 😊

What a pleasure! It was the first time my husband and I had been to the restaurant, we were made to feel like regulars, such a warm welcome and great service. The food was delicious, I am a veggie and the Tofu was the best I have eaten! My husband had the prawns in black bean which he said were really good too. We would highly recommend this restaurant and it's attention to Customer Service, #firstclass

Wow. Just Wow. I don't know Braintree food places well and really fancied a Chinese. My girlfriend said she thought there was one near the sainsburys so had a Google and saw this place. Reviews looked good so off we went . From the start the staff were Fantastic. We love our seafood so opted for a set meal with duck pancakes to start then lobster with ginger and garlic followed by prawn kung po, rice, noodles and a seafood sizzler dish. Everything was cooked perfect, presented well and tasted amazing . I could not fault the place and was a very enjoyable evening. Highly recommended.

Great fresh Chinese and Thai food with friendly staff, but not atmosphere. Unfortunately the UK radio doesn't fit to the taste of Asian meal. Why not Chinese music? Thank you anyway ;)

Visited for the first time today and was blown away by the fantastic food and great service. Was made to feel welcome and will definitely be back soon. Was also reasonably priced for Both food and drink .

Good food and excellent service

Friendly service and great food. We will be back.

Fabulous meal. Very attentive staff.

Extremely welcoming and accommodating staff, that could not be faulted. However, food was less than good. Everything tasted the same, nothing had any 'freshness' to it and overall very bland. I was looking forward to going but unfortunately won't be back.

Very friendly family run. Welcomed fully and enjoyed all of the food. Will be back. Thank you.

Always a lovely welcome. Great food and service. Very convenient to town centre.

Food was delicious and staff are very friendly and helpful!

The customer service was impeccable. Food was delicious. Our first time going here and we will be back. A lovely family run business.

I have been going to the China Dynasty for years now, usually with my work colleagues and they never let us down. The food this time was really lovely and tasty. We have a member of our crowd who is gluten intolerant and he was able to find dishes he could eat - his favourite is the mussels in black bean sauce. My favourite Kung Po Chicken was really yummy. The staff are so efficient, smiley and nothing is too much for them. It was someone's birthday when we were there and the staff brought out a birthday cake complete with candles which was a lovely touch. We had a really lovely night out. Thank you China Dynasty

New to Braintree not long moved here so trying to find a new local Chinese, This was possibly the worst Chinese we have had mega disappointing £29 in the bin chicken balls over cooked not even a chicken ball more like a chicken strip just tough and horrible! Chow mien was undercooked noddles were hard not nice won’t be using again

Lovely takeaway Especially enjoyed the Mongolian lamb

Great, friendly service and beautiful atmosphere 😊

Food fantastic loved the turntable in the middle staff friendly polite and helpful would recommend this place

Still waiting for my takeaway half hour after the time ordered. I could have gone into kitchen and cooked myself. Let’s see how much longer. No hint that it would take this long when they took my money.

What a fantastic place. The service was amazing and the food was even better..the staff could not do enough to make you feel special..10 out of 10 ..Will be back soon. Eamonn and Julia

Love the food so delicious Crispy noodles yummy but would have liked even more crispy, a little bit soggy. The rest of the food was amazing...I love the bean curd. 4.5 out of 5

Cannot fault our meal this evening, very friendly staff and food excellent. Nothing was too much trouble, lovely atmosphere.

Great restaurant. Service is fantastic and food amazing. Family run restaurant well worth a visit.

I'm new to the area and we visited here Friday, lovely food and amazing staff.really friendly ,we will be back thankyou.michelle and adam x

Good food and very good service, on the phone and in person. The food was on time, hot and delicious. Would recommend.

First class family run restaurant

Ate at this restaurant Saturday 29th May 2021 our third company meal here. 17 of of us this time; X3 tables and as usual the best service for many miles and in ,many years. Good food too. Benson School of Motoring.

An extremely disappointing visit both in terms of service and quality of meal. Presentation looked OK but the meal was awful. Supposed Crispy Noodles were a soggy wet mess, Supposed Spicy Crispy Beef? - like eating bits of battered string and as for the sauce ??? Yuk! Vegetables were just a slosh and the Chicken Satay was presumably deep fried pieces of chicken on sticks with the most disappointing peanut curry sauce one could imagine - no hint of having been flame grilled or anywhere near a barbeque at all - seemed just like bland junk food! Service was terrible. It took ten minutes to gain attention in order to request condiment. They weren't even busy as we were first in! It seems that they really have lost the plot. So sad, so very very sad. It used to be a great place to eat. I'd still like to leave a tip however. Here it is. Send the chef to Singapore for three months to learn how to cook.

We used to buy from a different restaurant before we discovered China Dynasty. Omg how did we not know about this restaurant before?!?? The food is always fresh and delicious. They’re so grateful to every client and they treat you as you’re part of their extended family. We’ve been ordering from them for a year now almost every week. The food was always the same - amazing. I would never go somewhere else.

Absolutely wonderful atmosphere, amazing staff and outstandingly delicious food! I will continue to return over and over again. Thank you China dynasty!

One week at Braintree and it was the most delicious, good for value dinner!!!

Lovely food here, staff very attentive crispy squid excellant, highly recommend !

Love this restaurant. Best Chinese in area by far.

Authentic Chinese lovely owners always willing to accommodate any requests. Best in braintree

This was my first cautious takeaway since the easy of the lockdown. We hadn't had a Chinese meal since our favourite outlet closed down which was a couple of years ago or more! Anyway China Dynasty went out its way to be helpful, Anthony is a star! Our food was ready within one minute of us arriving and delivered directly to us in our car. It was fresh and hot and remained so until on the plate and eaten. we have our new preferred Chinese restaurant!!

Fantastic food - and they bring it out to your car. Can’t recommend enough! Freshly cooked, great portions too.

I ate at China Dynasty last Sunday for lunch with a friend on our way back from Suffolk. We got a warm welcome from the gentleman as we walked in and he explained the Buffet is actually you order from the menu and you can have as much as you like. We had starters (ribs, prawn toast, satay chicken, and crispy duck pancakes and it was all cooked to perfection. The lady who we assumed was the owner was lovely nothing was too much trouble. Our main courses were king prawns, Cantonese Sweet and Sour Chicken, beansprouts, chicken with seasonal veg. It was delicious we ate everything. A friendly bye from the two staff working and a very nice lunch for under £20.00 we would love to go back but it’s over 50 miles from where we live but if passing I would 100% eat here again.

Lovely food freshly cooked,very nice friendly staff,would highly recommend!

Excellent. Food and plenty of it.

I have visited this restaurant a lot over some considerable years. They always deliver. The food is outstanding, I have never had a bad meal here and it is priced very reasonably. The family are lovely, nothing is too much trouble. Every year, my father in law visits from Cyprus and always requests a family meal here. If you are looking for good Chinese food cooked to perfection, this is the place for you.

The best Chinese restrant I have EVER been too. Everything is freshly made ( and you can tell!) the family who run it are so helpful and kind! YOU MUST GO!!!

Great ,food ,always fresh, Eva and her staff are very friendly.we go as much as we can but due to the distance we cannot. just wish you was open on a Tuesday.

Fantastic place Recommend to everyone x

Plenty of excellence food and good service.Eat as much as you like at a reasonable price.

Service ,Food, Atmosphere & Price were all amazing! Will definitely be going there again 😁❤

Cracking food and lovely people

Last minute choice, turned up without booking but was offered a table if we could manage in an hour. Friendly helpful staff, great service, excellent menu choice and great food, presented and served well and in a friendly helpful manner. Great food, highly recommended.

This restaurant is a must lazy Sunday lunchtime really good food and the staff were very welcoming

Visited on a busy Friday evening with my wife and some friends and ate from the main menu. The food was lovely and the service excellent.

Excellent quality food, nice setting and a friendly reception. Been here many times and always a wonderful meal. Highly recommended.

Good food, attentive service, copped very well with our group of 20.

Visited this on a solo business trip, they made me so welcome and waiter service was 1st class. Food was quick but good and everything seemed so organised. Definitely worth a visit.
