Dynasty Chinese Cuisine on Bloor closing after today

From: Shinan Govani, National Post

End of an era - Dynasty Chinese Cuisine on Bloor is closing after today. ... Space to be Khabouth-ified.

Guess those summer rumours WERE true...

    Wolfgang Puck was eyeing the place. Wonder if he is still interested?

      Puck is old... relagated to food court Airport food. He actually had a lease In the same building as Dynasty but on the west side of the building (2nd floor). It never went anywhere.

      Charles Kabouth is opening a french Bistro in the space.

      The owner screwed up the lease negotiations back in the summer - played hardball with the landlord and lost.

        We went on Saturday...it was delicious as ever.

        Dynasty is moving to a new location in 10 weeks - they took our information - and will inform their patrons when and where the new location opens.

        Frankly - it's a tired space. I just hope the new location has partially validated underground parking! Such a benefit...

          This is great news. Any idea where the new space will be? Will you please update us once you hear about the new opening?

            I understand it'll be Yorkville & Bay. If you call them (the restaurant # still works), you can leave your e-mail address and they can inform you directly.

              According to the Globe's Amy Verner, Dynasty is taking over the former True Restaurant space at 69 Yorkville, just a couple of blocks from the old location: http://twitter.com/amyverner/status/1...

              Should be open in early 2011, I'd guess.

                That's good news. I'm not familiar with the new space....does anyone know how it compares size-wise to Dynasty's former location?
