Dynasty Buffet

Usually come to Dynasty Buffet because I love the peanutbutter chicken. Late evening we ate there and the service was horrible, and a lot of the food was horrible.
The absolutely worst thing about the place is, I have NEVER been there and found a clean restroom.
I do love the peanutbutter chicken though.

HORRIBLE
This used to be a good buffet. We drove from Cedar Rapids and Des Moines to eat here as we have on multiple occasions over the past couple of years. This time it was definitely NOT worth the drive. .
We had to ask for silver ware twice. The waiter never brought it so had to go to hostess stand to get it. He took our drink order, writing it on his hand, so professional. Could barely speak English.
Milk-​served room temperature-​GROSS
One of the boiled eggs out of the three taken from the salad bar was rotten.
Crab legs-​cold and one leg had terrible grit in the meat. Butter for crab was rancid.
Crab-​meat Rangoon-​rubbery.
Vegetable Low Mein so over salted it was not edible.
Fried Doughnuts over cooked resulting in hard texture on the bottoms.
Sushi was room temperature… again — GROSS.
Asked for a med-​rare steak from the grill… told 4 minutes. Waited. It was cooked much longer than 4 minutes and was over cooked and had some terrible flavor on it.
Pears from fruit bar tasted like lemons.
The only good thing I tasted was the free fortune cookie when the waiter brought the bill, which needed to be split because he never bothered to communicate with us during our meal.
This dining experience occurred during the supper hour (6−7pm) on a Saturday night.

Fair price range.
Very awkward waiter. We couldn’t understand anything he was saying and he just made us feel very uncomfortable.
Not much variety. The food tasted okay. Probably not my best buffet experience.

One of the better Chinese buffets we’ve dined at within this modest price range. Good variety of all the standards AND sushi.

This use to be one of our favorite places to go. Although the last few times we went it was disgusting. The food had been sitting and was old. It is very expensive for the quality of food you get. I took maybe two bites and was done! So yes they have a huge selection but what’s the point when it’s gross! Then to top it all off I looked at my bank acct and they changed my tip and added more. Which was way over 20% because I always tip way more than normal. So I will never ever go there again just based on the dishonesty of the staff. It was clearly the number I wrote so there shouldn’t of been any mistake!!!

Of all the Chinese buffets in the quad-​cities, this is probably the largest and most consistent. All your favorites are here along with a few unique items (tempura veggies are great!). The salad and dessert areas are much larger than other buffets and the addition of a Mongolian grill sets this restaurant apart from the others. Wait staff is attentive in filling glasses and removing dirty plates.

Outstanding and varied selection. Quality seemed to exceed expectations. Stay was very friendly and attentive with one notable exception.
They have a habchi grill set up as well as a station for steaks. We were never able to get anyone for the steaks and noticed a lot of people waiting with no one to be seen at the habachi grill.
They have sushi, several different meats and a wide variety of sides and desserts.
There should be something there for every taste including the most finicky youngster.
We will be back when we are in the area

Best buffet ever!!! The crawfish are really good. Very large choice of food. The service was pretty descent, but it’s a buffet what service do you need? The decorations in the place are really unique.

I just Don’t agree with most of the reviews of this restaurant. A fair portion of the buffet Food wasn’t fresh as it should have been at 6:45 PM.
Staff made it a priority to clean the floor and get ready for closing time instead of clearing my empty plates. I wasn’t offered a refill on my drink and had to wait about 15 minutes after finishing dessert to get my bill.
I guess if you’re just wanting to stuff your gut till you burst, then go here. If you would rather have a positive dining experience, there’s a ton of other restaurants within walking distance that are better choices.

We couldn’t find anything that we would come back for. Even the fortune cookies are bad

I travel and visit a lot of Chinese buffets. This one delivers solid performance with very fresh food.

If you are looking for quality Chinese food, please look elsewhere. So why am I a fan? Because as far as all you can eat Chinese buffets, this one is on top of the heap. I love the fact they have sushi, a little hibachi table where they will cook steak, chicken, or shrimp for you on the spot, and they have «American» food like pizza, warm apple pie and garlic bread. They have an awesome selection for a very, very low price, especially for lunch.
I’m a sucker for egg rolls, crab Rangoon, dumplings, and dim sum. I just love them and have a very flexible palate when it comes to them. So being able to grab all I can eat and combine it with some freshly grilled shrimp, warm apple pie, all for such a cheap price, it tends to make me a fan.
5 stars for the steak they cook it just the way you want it!!!

My wife suggested we drop in for dinner. If you have read my previous reviews you know I have high expectations of Chinese food — — - and this restaurant did not even come close. I suspect most people might give this place a higher rating since there is a wide variety of food and you can eat as much as desired. I prefer better tasting food and less of it. If you do go, I would suggest the fresh stir-​fry over the buffet selections.

This place is freaking gross. I don’t know who would eat at this restaurant after the first time, let alone sing its praises. When I went they had multiple types of cuisine and couldn’t get one right. It’s a low end cheap buffet.
Bleh.

Probably the best Chinese Buffet of it’s kind in the Quad Cities area. I’ve only been there for weekend dinners when it’s packed and the buffet needed to be restocked regularly, so in my experience, it’s always been fresh food. Pretty good selection, and the crab legs were cooked just right (compared to the dry crab legs on the buffet at Jumers casino) although they don’t restock them like they should. I believe they let it go empty long enough to discourage people from abusing it, but then sometimes you go a long time waiting for them to bring it out before you can get your first plate. Sushi was the variety you would expect in a midwest town, but it was fresh.

One of my favorite’s among the QC’s hoppin’ buffet scene. The food is good, taking into consideration it’s a buffet. And if you can make it in for lunch during weekdays it turns out to be a great deal.

The food is alright… about as good as any other Chinese buffet. Not the freshest food, but you get what you pay for I guess. Good if you want a decent Chinese buffet.

Edited old review:
This place used to be the best. They became complacent and then a better option came to town and it seems at though the Dynasty gave up completely.

Good food. Ok, so the buffet never changes. But the food is always warm and plenty of it. At 4 o’clock they put snow crab legs and oysters on the half shell on the buffet… awesome! Their sushi isn’t too bad either. It’s made of the more «nonexotic» foods so you can stomach it. They even have a few items for kids (ex; pizza, cheese sticks).
My wife and I go probably once a month… and we live 1 hour away!
FYI, they don’t accept checks!

This is amazing, people come from near and far to enjoy this huge buffet full of amazing delectable items. There’s something for everyone, and even a vegetarian can find something to eat here.
It’s a lot of fun to see all the families coming and eating together, and it’s great people watching too.
Waits are a little longer on busy weekend evenings.
