Qin Dynasty Restaurant

Authentic dim sum restaurants are hard to come by in NJ, unless you venture to Central Jersey. So when I found Qin Dynasty in North Jersey, I was willing to make the trek – especially since I had a dim sum craving one weekend. We got there at around 11 on a Saturday. It was crowded but not packed yet. We were seated right away (your whole party needs to be there). There are so many options for dim sum – some that you don’t even typically see in Brooklyn/Chinatown. For example, I saw some lobster tails, and a giant cheesy oyster that looked really good but I’m sure they were $$$. We stuck to the dim sum basics – ha gao, shumai, beef churng fun, chicken feet, chicken sticky rice, steamed cha siu baos, and tofu pudding. I don’t have any complaints about the dim sum. All were good and some were even better than ones in NYC. And let me tell you – they do not skimp on the meat here. The ha gaos and shumais were so plump! Since it’s a rarity that we get to have authentic Chinese food, we also ordered the salted fish and diced chicken fried rice, and the pan-fried noodles with beef. Both were good and had lots of meat. Service was surprisingly attentive – unlike in NYC where it takes fore

Visited Qin Dynasty Restaurant in Parsippany and left feeling pretty mixed. The crab fried rice had zero seasoning or flavor — it was surprisingly bland and not what I expected. The walnut mayo shrimp was also unusual; it was served on a bed of fruits instead of broccoli, which made the overall taste a bit odd. Not terrible, but definitely disappointing for the price and reputation.

Was looking for a good authentic Chinese food in this part of Jersey, and this place clearly delivered. Incredible minced beef soup to start. Then had the fried rice, braised duck with mixed vegetables, and pan-fried flounder. Delicious. The service was good and attentive, though quite pricey, especially the duck ( $38), and there wasn't much meat, just more vegetables. But the flounder was worth it, $32.95.

Came for the dim sum with my husband and father. We were seated immediately when we arrived. We arrived at around 2:45pm on a Saturday and was told dim sum carts stop at around 2:00. I also heard some else say they stop around 1:30 so I'm not exactly sure. We ended up choosing our dim sum items from a paper menu which was fine but just be aware of the timing if you want the fully Cantonese style cart. Staff was not the most enthusiastic but helpful and attentive. Food came out pretty quickly. Everything we ordered tasted good. Some favorites were the pork steamed buns, custard bun, green sesame ball, and pork soup dumplings. One of our items never came out so we waited a little bit until we finally asked about it. Someone came over and just crossed it off our bill so I guess they ran out. This was our second time dining here. My recommendation is to arrive earlier the first visit to enjoy the full cart experience but it does get crowded at prime time so be prepared to wait a little or be seated with others.
