Festive Lunar New Year Celebration at Paradise Dynasty

The beloved dim sum and world's favorite 8-Flavor Xiao Long Bao at Paradise Dynasty is celebrating the Year of the Horse. For a limited-time, they are offering a Lunar New Year menu through March 3, in addition to their regular menu.

This popular restaurant in Asia is known for its signature flavored rainbow colored Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings). Inside the restaurant is elegant with Chinese decor and booths. It took over the former restaurant space of Din Tai Fung (now at the Glendale Galleria). The chefs come in early in the morning to make fresh bao daily. This iconic dish features eight different colored pork filled bao in eight different flavors: Original, Garlic, BBQ, Cheese, Crab Roe, Kimchi, Black Truffle and Szechuan.

At Paradise Dynasty dishes are designed for sharing and togetherness. Start with a Lunar New Year exclusive cocktail, Fire Horse. Inspired by the energy and momentum of the Year of the Horse, this is a cognac based take on a Gold Rush.

The festive Fire Horse is made with D’USSÉ Cognac, yuzu honey, green tea plum, and fresh lemon, resulting in a bright, floral, and refreshing drink designed to complement the richness of the menu. This goes well with the Radish Pastry appetizer.

The Imperial Chicken Broth with Wontons is also a great starter to the evening. This clear and comforting chicken broth offers delicate housemade wontons, symbolizing warmth and renewal. Next order the Typhoon Shelter Crispy Garlic Scallops that arrive plump and tossed in fragrant, crunchy garlic inspired by Hong Kong’s iconic typhoon shelter style.

Splurge for the braised Lobster with Vermicelli and Golden Garlic Sauce. This multi-sensory dish arrives with a whole lobster braised with silky vermicelli noodles and aromatic golden garlic sauce. It's a celebratory centerpiece symbolizing abundance.

Meat lovers will enjoy the tender Slow-Braised Pork Knuckle with Dried Scallops, representing strength and prosperity throughout the year.

For a sweet treat, the white and orange chewy sweet rice mochi are filled with earthy matcha and nutty black sesame. Also don't forget the adorable panda boa filled with molten chocolate. Both are a festive finish symbolizing unity and sweetness throughout the year.

Additionally, festive lucky red envelopes containing 20% off vouchers will also be handed out to guests. Southern California locations include The Americana at Brand in Glendale and South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa.
