Getting There & Parking
This place is located within the Kuchai Entrepreneurs Park enclave. So the parking situation would be the same as for Misaki Udon.

Ambience
The place is clean and well-lit. The decor is simple and un-cluttered.In fact, I was told it kind of reminded people of the dining places in Seoul.


The place is a little unusual and you can see this the moment you enter the place. This is because the Cashier/Order Counter is right at the front of the shop and diners must place their orders & PAY before entering to secure their table and seats. I say unusual because I thought this only happens for fast-food outlets. So, when I encountered that, I was a little put off.

Presentation
Nicely plated on square white china. However, the plates are a little too small as I find that tiny scraps of food keep falling off the plate.

Food/Taste
The pork patties were obviously home-made. Thick and juicy and extremely irresistible. I have never seen them on sale anywhere before. Just describing them is making me salivate.

The portion is also quite generous as even without the fries, I found myself quite full & satisfied with just the burger alone!

I for one am very glad that this place serves pork burgers (Sorry Ninja Joe)! I know there are a couple around but there should be more of these places because pork is SO GOOD!

But altho' they look pretty good, I was a little taken aback by the amount of oil that was still on the buns as they were served. I think almost everyone eats burgers with their fingers but when I picked it up, my fingers were drenched in oil.

Variety
They have quite an extensive menu, with burgers to suit all kinds of diners. They have Chicken, Beef & Pork burgers. They also have a tiny pasta section plus 1 Hot Dog item - the Double Jumbo Hotdog (RM14.90) - a delectable Taiwan Style sausage wrapped in minced pork and then served on a bun.

Some of the items have a very deliberately Oriental slant to them:
- Char Siew (BBQ Pork) Chicken/Pork Burger
- Teriyaki Chicken/Pork Burger
- Nam Yu (Fermented Tofu) Chicken/Pork Burger

VFM
As boutique burger bars spring up all over the Klang Valley, the prices are pretty competitive. They are not cheap coz at an average of RM15 a pop, for just the burger, I could've gotten 2 Burger King Meal Sets with fries & drinks. Altho' here, diners have the option to "make it a meal" by adding on RM4 for the fries and drink.

Food Review - Dynasty Restaurant @ Renaissance KL

Name
Dynasty @ Renaissance

FoodDim Sum (Non-Halal)
Location
Renaissance KL

Getting thereLocated at the cross-roads of Jalan Ampang and Jalan Sultan Ismail, a mere stone’s throw away from the KLCC Twin Towers, you can’t miss the landmark that is Renaissance Hotel.
Parking
There is ample parking at or around the hotel.
ServiceThe Dim Sum brunch is usually packed. So, diners are advised to make reservations before making a trip there.
Ambience
There are 2 sections to the restaurant – the 1 closer to the main entrance is more brightly lit & busier than the other area as the food is located in this area. Located further away from the entrance, is the much quieter and less brightly lit area – more suited to couples or diners with smaller groups/families. The soft furnishing helps to keep the noise level low, making it a very comfortable place to have Dim Sum. The China used all have the same beautiful signature art on them. This adds a lot to the ambience of the restaurant.
TasteThe difference here as compared with other hotels is that they have the steamed Dim Sum items on a menu and are freshly prepared for you per your orders instead of having everything on the Buffet Line. (However, having said that, the deep fried items are on the Buffet Line.) This is a very nice touch, makes it very reminiscent of dining at a real Dim Sum place and it ensures that all the Dim Sum items are served and eaten the way they should be – Fresh. I love the steamed Dim Sum here as they really taste heavenly!
Presentation
The Steamed items come in the traditional bamboo Dim Sum baskets while all the other items are in chaffing dishes on the Buffet Line.
VarietyThere are of course the standard items that MUST be present for Dim Sum:
- Siew Mai
- Char Siew Pau
- Har Gau
- Chee Cheong Fun (they have a novel variety where it is wrapped around a Yau Char Gwai)
- Porridge
- Glutinous Rice in Lotus Leaf

One other item I really loved was the Tau Foo Fa with Ginger Syrup. I have 4 servings of that and if I weren’t full, I would have had more!

Not only that, they also served the Longan and Honey Sea Coconut tong sui as well.
Value for Money
This is a good value for money Dim Sum dining experience as the food tastes great and each time I dined there, I always came away satisfied.
OverallIf you have not tried it yet, I suggest you do. It’s good food at good prices!
