Dinastia China and La Caridad were Upper West Side legacies of Chinese migration from Cuba
following the communist revolution. Not particularly cheap, but tasty
and a legitimate sit-down place to eat, albeit fairly spartan.
The Cuban side of the menu was generally
better than the Chinese side, although the Chinese side was more
than acceptable and leans toward the older, more sedate Cantonese
style that once dominated the Chinese-American culinary landscape.
