Favorite main entrees include aromatic shrimp, lightly battered and covered in a sweet and sour sauce. Or, get adventurous by ordering the Beijing duck, rolled in Chinese crepes. Let pan-fried noodles accompany your meal, adding just the right amount of crunchiness with every bite.

Detailed Chinese latticework partitions divide the cozy booths, which allow for an air of intimacy while dining, and the full bar serves up creative cocktail delights. As the first Chinese restaurant at Glendale’s Americana, Chi Dynasty promises to live up to its well-earned reputation of delivering quality food with excellent customer service.
