Give me all the dim sum
Natalia G.

Great experience, we got there just before the rush and everything was tasty and fresh. Probably some of the vest fried shrimp balls I have had in a good long while. Shu Mai was also a favorite and the eggplant stuffed shrimp and shrimp dumplings coming in close after. Definitely will be back for more.

Pork and egg congee
Briana N.

Really good dim sum! Workers are super friendly and food comes out relatively quickly. Everything was really good, but some standouts for me were that the pork and egg congee had so much egg which I love and the siu mai were so plump and filled with so much meat. Besides that I really loved the chee cheong fun with xo sauce and the fried shrimp balls. Maybe because we went on a Monday they didn't do the dim sum carts which I love. But then again, the restaurant isn't too big so I feel like they usually don't do the carts. But this is a way to ensure all the food you're getting is fresh though! I do wish the dim sum menu was a little more varied. I feel like a few staples that I normally gravitate towards weren't there. But there was still enough to have a good filling meal.

Eggplant stuffed with shrimp
Larry S.

This was my favorite item on the dim sum menu. Big pieces of eggplant surrounding lightly battered shrimp. The rest of the dim sum ordered was okay. Nothing spectacular. Our dinner entree was okay too. Not much flavor. I would like to go back and try other dishes but the restaurant is a distance from where I live. I thought the prices were fair and the service was excellent b

Lobster, Spicy Beef Tripe, Beef with Mushroom in Oyster Sauce, fried intestines
Nicole L.

Love East Garden--it's a must-stop every time I'm visiting a theme park nearby! The service is always fantastic, and the ambiance is exactly what you'd expect from a classic Chinese restaurant. I always order the fried pig intestines--they hit every single time! (Portions were a bit smaller than usual this time, but still tasty.) We also got the tripe again, and it was perfect as always. This time, we tried the lobster deal in the fried garlic style--absolutely delicious! Can't wait to come back again in a few years LOL

This is a popular place for families and locals looking for good family-style dining or dim sum. I think the food here is very tasty and heartwarming. Everything is freshly prepared and served quickly. I think I prefer their large family style dishes over their dim sum and would recommend the Beef Chow Fun, Salt and Pepper Squid, Walnut Shrimp, and Water Spinach. I love how bright and clean the space is. Service is quick and the servers have always been great with us.

Excellent dim sum place on par with some top ones in SoCal and NYC Chinatown. The quality is great and make fresh to order. We ordered classic ones like shrimp rice rolls and Siu Mai, chicken feet and bean curb rolls and wonton noodle soup. They were all excellent. Service is nice and fast! Highly recommended to check them out.

Beef churn fun dim sum
Kat L.

I was in Orlando for vacation with my sisters and here to celebrate lunar new year. We found this authentic Chinese restaurant to eat our new year's meal. It was packed that night. The food was very good. The portions are pretty big so that's a plus. They had a 2 lobster special so we ordered that. Other dishes we got were beef chow fun, snow peas tips, chicken corn soup and 2 dim sum dishes. (Haw gow and beef churn fun) It's great you can order dim sum even at night! The meal wasn't even that expensive for how much food we had. It was extremely busy but they were very nice and accommodating. I like the layout of the restaurant with booths and the yellow color of the chairs were nice. I will definitely come back here to eat again!

I like the food there. Compare to the quantity and size of the food, I think their price is fair among the restaurants. Definitely a restaurant to revisit. We got three dim sum item to start. We have the turnip pudding. The edge was will pan fried to crispy. We also got stuff eggplant. I like the size and the soften skins of eggplant. The last dim sum items is the crispy taro dumplings. I am ok on that item. My wife likes it. The two main dish we have is the beef ho fun and the pork belly with preserved vegetables. The ho fun was cook well with stir fry. I like the braise sauce of the pork belly. Go well with rice. Next time I am there, I probably get the Hong Kong style two lobster. Service is good.

Dim sum menu
Janny Y.

2nd time here. Once dinner and this time Mother's Day dim sum. The ladies here are always friendly. They were very busy. No host specifically, the wait staffs came up front to check the waiting list that they've left on the table that you had to fill in yourself. Their dim sum menu isn't very vast but had the usual more popular selections. Their beef congee wasn't a huge portion but it contain loads of beef. Didn't get to have any of the steamed bbq buns because the kids ate them. We didn't end up ordering much from the dim sum menu, we did ordered salt & pepper squid & snow pea stems because we liked it the last we were there. The lady must not heard when I ordered the shumai so it was never placed with kitchen, but our shrimp rice roll and Chinese fried dough in rice roll never arrived either. Told them about missing items when asked for the cheque and they verified and took off bill. Would have liked to see how they taste but I guess we'll try next time.

Dimsum
Joey M.

This place is authentic Chinese. All day dimsum which is nice. Food was excellent . Service was great. It's not the greatest looking but it's clean and great atmosphere . We had dimsum and whole Peking duck as well as their lobster special . Definitely great experience

Shrimp balls
Stephanie R.

Amazing!!! Visiting Orlando, but I had to find a Dim Sum place. Let me tell you how they did not disappoint! I don't know which was better; the service or the food! Everything was fast, fresh, authentic, and flavorful!

Cantonese style pan fried noodle
Tran N.

The portion for entrees are huge!!! Cantonese style seafood pan fried noodles and beef chow fun are delicious! If theres only two people just know youll be packing food to go home. The dim sum comes out fresh and most of the rice rolls and shrimp balls are not too doughy. It is the right consistency. The size of the shrimp is also pretty decent for the price. There are many other places that have very tiny shrimps. The service is great! They are quick and attentive. It can get pretty busy on sunday so if you want to beat the crowd go a little earlier.

Peking duck half size
Jin J.

Service: very bubbly and welcoming waitresses who were quick to ask if you had any questions. Food: Overall a solid Chinese experience. The shrimp that came with the coconut shrimp were delicious and huge! The sauce was overwhelming though and they could have used a lot less of it. The Peking Duck was a tad bit overlooked but the skin was perfectly crunchy and well seasoned. I wish they had the thin rice papers instead of the bread-like bao buns. I chose not to use the buns and still enjoyed the Duck-onion-sauce combo. The hot and sour soup was HUGE. I forgot to look at the menu to see if we got a special serving but im glad we had a lot. It was tasty.

I love a traditional ordering system where you mark what you want. We got shrimp dumplings, chive dumplings, pork buns, pot stickers, and turnip cake. Everything came out in a timely manner and tasted as expected. I loved all of the dumplings, and the turnip cake was excellent. My one detractor is that the service was a little spotty getting the check. All things considered, this place is solid for dim sum, and I'd definitely go back.

Chicken Lo Mein - nice thin noodles, real chicken, fresh veggies Chicken Fried Rice - lots of egg and chicken and some veggies General Tso's chicken - my 8 year old's favorite - we got no spice Sui Mai - includes pork and shrimp - big and juicy Shrimp and Chive - my wife's favorite - it's just delicious Seafood dumplings - not sure all the seafood but also awesome Pan fried pork potstickers- for my older son cause he has shellfish allergies Appetizer portion of Roast duck - super tender, great flavor, crispy skin Appetizer portion of Pork Belly - it's pork belly...enough said Sesame balls - these are more of a dessert, not overly sweet but a nice finish to the meal Lastly we tried something new...the turnip dumplings which were small squares of turnip paste?? That are fried and tossed in something spicy - these were awesome! Definitely adding into the rotation. Overall this place is awesome and worth a try!!

Every weekend when we went to the farmers market they always have a large line and people would be walking away with multiple dishes. We finally gave it a try, there are four flavors you can get 4 dumplings for $6. The only downside is you cannot mix and match flavors, so if you want to try multiple you have to do separate orders. But trust me, it's worth it! They are cooked right on the spot and are delicious. Biggest Advice? Order more ahead of time because they sell out fast and the lines are always long. It will become one of go to spots for the farmers markets on Sunday!

I went the traditional route with getting a pork dumpling and I was not disappointed. It was fried perfectly on one side and had that steamed effect on the other. There is a selection of different sauces to add to them on the table, such as sriracha sauce, soy sauce and sweet thai chili sauce. I chose sweety thai chili sauce because I like the sweet, zesty kick it gives which was a great compliment to the food. It was only $6 for 4 decently sized dumplings which wasn't bad. I'll be back to try the other flavors next time!!

They often get mentioned in local periodical awards, so I've been meaning to stop by here for a while now. Finally, I had my opportunity. We arrive right when they open, get seated, and get some nice oolong tea brewing while the ladies with the carts stock up and start tantalizing us with their scrumptious dim sum. Fried shrimp, dumplings, shumai, ribs, buns, and my absolute favorite, sticky rice. It all just came flying one after another after another, and it makes life so much better when you can share these delectable little treats with a table full of people. Eating more of one thing means you don't get to try as many things. That's no good. So we came, we saw, we conquered. Ambiance was the nice, stereotypical American Chinese tranquility. Servers were all very nice. And the dim sum were all pretty much on par quality as the rest of casual places like this around town. Overall, this was a very nice experience. I will plan on coming back.

We ordered the peking duck- waitress brought it out to show us and then took it back to the kitchen saying she forgot the pancakes. Then she took a long time to come back out with the cut up duck and sides. It tasted all right. I enjoyed the soup dumplings. We tried a dim sum dumpling that had shrimp and some other meat (waiter was so quiet I couldn't hear him) and it was okay. We also tried a tofu wrap and a chewy shrimp wrap that was 90% wrap and had 2 mini shrimp in it. We also got the bok choy and it was okay. Very oily. The spicy oil was good. The hot tea was good as well. Bathroom was clean. Service was sporadic and the dim sum carts were not coming around nearly enough for how many people were in the dining room. The food was okay- I think if I came back I would order off the menu instead of dim sum. We were there around 1pm on Sunday. It was relatively busy and there were many people in and out of the dining room.

Ordered Jumbo Shrimp Pan Fried Noodle here $16.95 takeout. While waiting for the food. I was asking the gal behind the cash register if they have been busy lately with the Chinese BBQ and she stated this past weekend they were really busy. I then told her it's because Kai Kai owners left Kai Kai and sold it maybe to another owner but they no longer run Kai Kai. So as the conversation passes she told me - The Crispy pork they cook there is NOT ROASTED but FRIED. It was brought up because i was telling her a few people have said kai kai fell off as far as taste in the bbq / meats. So then I said yes the skin part is not crispy like how you guys do it. So she mentioned she wondered why they have been busy with Chinese BBQ meats as of lately. I ordered the $4.95 boba smoothie (mango) as a refresher because it is hot outside - For the price it is not bad I think they use mango puree as the base. The dishes here are delicious. This is why I keep coming back.

I have been coming here for years now. I would alway try other all you can eat hotpot places in…read moreOrlando but this is definitely the one to beat and the one I keep coming back to. We came here first simply because the cheaper weekday lunch special, but man oh man do the flavors keep me coming back. First off their broths are amazing. You can mix your broths and they are not just flavored water either, you literally get all the herbs and spices poured into your bowl to keep those flavors strong. If you like spice I usually do half curry and half the szechuan broths. They have a bar style to serve the food and the sauces/toppings so no waiting for anything. They even have the noodles on a little track that goes around the seats which is so fun just to grab. In addition to the hot pot menu. They have an extra charge appetizers "extra selections (made when ordered)" menu that contains a hidden gem of this place. The wings!!! All of them are cooked amazingly with a juicy inside but a flavorful crunchy outside. If you do choose this option I would love to give a shout out to the Juicy 2.0 flavor. The last food thing I love about this place is the dessert. They have an ice cream cooler, but not no normal vanilla or chocolate ice cream cups. They have that ice cream selection they you probably remember getting out of an ice cream freezer in the gas station. ice cream sandwiches, those crunchy-on-the-outside popsicle and normal popsicle too. I can always only speak to the staff that received us, but everyone there is very friendly and accommodating. They were happy to explain the various broths and the different menu items especially when it came to the appetizer menu. I said it at the beginning, price-wise this place I'd say is comparable or better. If you are iffy on trying this place as your next hotpot adventure, coming here during the cheaper weekday lunch time is a no brainer with a price that is arguably hard to beat. If you're eating at the normal price, I would still say this place is going to give the best bang for your buck if you are looking for some high quality warm belly feels.

Bakery 1908 gave me what I wanted, how I wanted it, as I wanted one. Actually, the missing star is because of the actual quality of the bakery. It may be because of the time of the day (they had a buy two get one free offer), but their desserts lacked some filling/flavor. Nothing that accompanying them with a good drink wouldn't solve. I will give them many more tries, as they became my favorite of the bunch.
