You're walking down Richfield Avenue, past the usual high street suspects, when you spot Dynasty. It's a proper Chinese restaurant doing something most places around here don't bother with: afternoon tea service that treats dim sum like it deserves to be treated. The kitchen clearly knows what they're doing—steamed buns arrive at the right temperature, prawn crackers have actual snap to them, and the tea selection goes beyond basic. The space itself is unfussy, the kind of place where locals actually eat rather than somewhere designed to look Instagram-friendly. It's become genuinely popular, which tells you the quality's consistent. The 4.8 rating isn't accidental.
