Le Dynastie - Barentin

On our way from the south to Dieppe stopping in Barentin overnight. I said to my wife only last week there are very few overweight people in France, they have such a healthy diet . I know where they all are now to be fair. This restaurant (term used with reservation) is quite simply a place for glutenous people to pour massive amounts of msg laden fast food into their tattooed forms. I have never felt so out of place. It 's cheap and very very nasty. The staff were all clinically driven to continually load the trays with food to fuel the disgusting array of customers. Do not go here simply be because it 's convenient and you are on your way home and can not be bothered to go to a decent restaurant. I suggest eating your own leg instead, the experience will be more satisfying. I 'd rather eat a sausage bap from a disgusting roadside van in Blackpool than eat here again.

This place is OK, but no more than that. The buffet food is mediocre but the prices are low so i guess you get what you pay for. Beware the staff does not speak any English.

Le Dynastie could hardly be less scenic. It 's basically a utilitarian box in a graceless shopping centre, with fake 'brickwork ' (wallpaper) inside and a...well, a car park outside. But after a day 's shopping, it can be handy, and it does do an 'all you can eat ' Chinese buffet for around 16 euros at night or 11 euros at lunchtime. I 've used it a few times now, and it hits the spot with lots of choice: fresh crispy salads, plenty of meat and shellfish (including scallops and tiger prawns) plus a hot wok bar where a chef will cook your platter to order in a choice of six sauces. It 's a big place, seating at least 100, and they do run it efficiently, even with a long suffering smile of sorts. On my latest visit, last night, I was alone and wanted to read, so they put me at a table under direct lighting, which was good. I kicked off with a little assortment of won ton, spring roll and crispy nems, plus dipping sauces, and they were all good though probably not quite as good as the same dishes in, say, Beijing. For a main course the chef flame grilled the prawns and scallops of my choice and I had them with very tasty noodles (various kinds of rice if you prefer) and was a happy camper until the place started filling up with yobs who began to slurp and burp at nearby tables, holding their cutlery like toddlers and generally demonstrating a total ignorance of table manners. I 'm not a fusspot, but I do object to having to listen to the open mouthed mastication of every morsel by total strangers (or anyone else for that matter) followed by burps as loud as a backfiring lorry. Ugh! Otherwise the meal was enjoyable, finished with an assortment of fresh fruit, ginger, sesame crackers and ice cream, and for 20 euros including a half litre of nice white wine, it was good value. But sadly the value seems to be the problem: it attracts people intent on stuffing themselves without regard for those who simply want a pleasant meal without farmyard noises. It was the first time this happened at Le Dynastie, so let 's hope it 's the last. It wasn 't the management 's fault, but it was off putting. I 'll give Le Dynastie one more shot, with fingers crossed for a return to civilisation, because it does have plentiful parking, plentiful food and a general aura of aiming to please. It 'd be a good choice for a big group a work night out, say but don 't even think of going there for your wedding anniversary or anything of a romantic nature.

Almost nothing in the dishes when you serve. Dry and wet. He doesn't deserve his prize. Friendly staff.

Very good and very nice staff with their customers
