Pizza Express
76A High Road, LondonWe visited on Friday evening on spur of the moment. It was extremely busy, but we managed to get a table. I had the standard American hot. Service was good and very surprised that the food was served so quickly and it was hot. When we left, they were queuing out the door.

Dynasty Restaurant
139 High Road, LondonWe recently visited Dynasty Restaurant in Woodford as a party of 6 and had such a lovely experience from start to finish.
Booking was easy and hassle free, and when we called to say we were running late, the staff were incredibly reassuring and accommodating. On arrival, we received a warm welcome and were seated straight away. The restaurant is small and intimate, creating a relaxed atmosphere from the moment you walk in. The decor is a little dated but pleasant, and on a sweltering day the air conditioning made the restaurant wonderfully comfortable.
The staff were exceptional throughout. Attentive without being intrusive, friendly, full of personality, and always happy to help. We genuinely felt looked after, like we were visiting family.
We were offered two menu options which were clearly explained to us, an all you can eat menu for £28 per person, served family style so everyone can share and try a bit of everything, or the à la carte menu. We opted for the a la carte menu.
We started with the mixed hors d’oeuvres. The seaweed was slightly salty for our taste, but still enjoyable. The restaurant happily swapped the chicken toast for prawn toast, which, alongside the fall off the bone BBQ ribs, was a real highlight.
Our mains arrived promptly and every dish was delicious. We ordered kung po chicken, chicken and beef in black bean sauce, sweet and sour pork, whole sea bass, ho fun with chicken, special fried rice and singapore vermicelli which were all jam packed with flavour. The food was fresh, light, not oily, and the meats were beautifully tender or crispy.
The sake and jasmine tea were both excellent, with lovely balanced flavours that complemented the meal perfectly.
The food portions were so generous that we needed takeaway containers for the leftovers, including some starters.
With starters, drinks and mains, the bill came to just over £35 per person, which felt like fantastic value for the quality and quantity of food we received.
What really stood out was the service. Even after our visit, when I called to ask where they sourced their jasmine tea, they were more than happy to help.
Dynasty is a hidden gem on the main road with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, delicious food and outstanding service. We will definitely be back.
