    Decent local Chinese, food is always piping hot and made to order. Anything can be altered to your spice preference. I recommend this spot over others across the street for sure. One of the best egg rolls. Great affordable prices and large portions. BEWARE: they are CLOSED on Tuesdays.

    Supposedly, how special fried rice with ham!
    Kenneth P.

    lowering my rating to 2 stars: For what I used to pay 16.50 somehow magically it's $20 charge to 3.50 for house special and $1 ham I don't see none of those ingredients in my rice maybe one tiny piece of chicken and one tiny piece of pork. I've been here for years, lately I've been getting ripped off. And taken advantage of. The flavor is good but the service is going to shit! I overpaid I'm disappointed. I know a place where my whole meal is $14 with more than enough ingredients and taste way better. I'm going to start going over there.! Sad because I used to consider this place almost 5 stars! Last time I paid one dollar extra pork, they gave me last pork! This is stealing.

    Excellent lunch deals! Not too salty which is greatly appreciated. Lunch choice entree, and egg roll or soup and a soda! Fed me lunch and dinner. Friendly staff. Carry out only of course.

    I haven't written a review in a long time but I had to show support after ordering here. The chicken broccoli I got for a lunch special was perfect, not only that but the portion was huge and the service was great. I've had chicken broccoli from 2 other local Chinese food spots and not only were the portions smaller than at First Choice, but they tasted off too. This chicken broccoli that I got here was a 10/10.

    Lately there has been a lack of good New York style Chinese takeout food in the east Orlando area and places that were once good took a serious nosedive. While there are very good places like Chuan Lu Garden offering a great more upscale Asian food experience, the typical Chinese takeout spot has seemingly all but disappeared. This has had me seeking a good New York style Chinese takeout place and trying the various local options. This restaurant is located in a mall anchored by a Publix supermarket and it is rather plain on the outside a bit run down on the inside. While I awaited my Chinese food, my attention was drawn to a group of four machines, one with gumballs, the other three with cheap trinkets and found myself wondering how old those gumballs actually were. But I digress... So, onto the food... I wish I could say it was good. I also wish wishes came true. Fifty dollars for takeout for four of us and there was nothing good about it. My daughter and I split an order of steamed dumplings. This might have been the worse out of all of our offerings. It tasted like the dough was not fully cooked. It was also bland, which was the one consistent throughout this meal. Bland. The egg roll was terrible. The curry chicken was bland. I upgraded to a fried rice for $2.00 and the rice was dry and, like everything else, bland. The only thing that was halfway decent was the wanton/egg drop mix soup. My search for good New York style Chinese takeout continues.

    Super oily eggplant in garlic sauce
    Enit S.

    Well, this wouldn't be my first choice I'll say that right off the bat. The people working there were unfriendly and looked miserable. I ordered the eggplant in garlic sauce and it was an oily mess (see pic) it had good flavor but why was it drowning in oil? At least the vegetable fried rice was good. When I got home there was no fork, no soy or duck sauce packets in my bag; I was surprised to find a fortune cookie. I'd be reluctant to go back just cause the eggplant was so oily, leads me to believe everything else probably is too.

    As usual, the food is spectacular! So fresh and tasty! Enough food for 2 people to share. Do have to mention the egg rolls are not the same as they use to be. Completely different and disappointing. This is the only negative feedback. I wish they would change them back.

It's very comfortable. My only issue was it took so long to get our food. We got the ramen and 2 orders of the pork dumplings together. We got through about half of our ramen before an order of the pork dumpling shows up. We finished the first set of dumplings and were going to cancel the second order, but then they showed up. Moral of the story, don't show up hangry lol

    Came across this place as it was in the same area as Susuru where I've been the last couple of…read morenights. So this is my 3rd night here in Orlando and decided to come here. All I can say, this place simply blew my mind!! I never expected this resto to be this GOOD! Came in around 7:15 pm and there's were a few people waiting and I signed up on their Yelp waitlist kiosk. But I got seated about 5-10 mins upon arrival. So when looked at the menu, they had 3 dishes that were Michelin guide recommendations. The first one is their wonton soup, the pan fried Peking duck buns and the steamed buns with bokchoy and mushrooms. So I was curious and had to order the wonton soup and since I love Peking duck, I ordered the buns. Here's my assessment: 1. Pork and shrimp wonton soup - 15/10 - the soup was pretty neutrally flavored but still good to my liking but oh boy, the wonton was out of this world!! It came with 6 large wontons, some bokchoy, seaweed and the broth. I always ask for chili oil and when I took a bite of the wonton, the sudden burst of deliciousness that I felt in my mouth was indescribable. Then I dipped the wonton in the chili oil and it added another layer of umami flavor. This is prolly my Top 2 wonton soup I've had in my life next to the one I've tried in Hongkong years ago!! Every wonton I ate the more I just want to eat more wontons . It's INCREDIBLE. 2. Pan fried Peking duck buns - 20/10 - this should be a Michelin star dish!! The bun was a little sweet, soft but that first bite felt like all my salivary juices just exploded. This is the BEST BAO BUN I've had in America. The most perfect combination of sweet, savory, salty, with a touch of five spice and a gastronomically out of bounds dish - It's UNBELIEVABLE!! Every customer should not leave this resto until they've tried this one!! Trust me, you may want to eat at least 4 pcs of this. I would have wanted to get 2 more but I was already full. 3. Steamed bokchoy with garlic - 10/10 - love the freshness of the bokchoy, well poached and the garlic was just enough that it was not overpowering yet it was garlicky. I wish we can have Kung Fu Kitchen in CA but I guess FL is more business friendly. They also have their sister flagship resto in NY!! So if ever you come to Disney World or Orlando for a work or business trip, pls do yourself a favor and make sure you put this resto as part of your itinerary!!!

It was a bit of a bummer since we were looking forward to enjoying them later. Even with that hiccup, the food was outstanding and definitely worth the visit.

The place is elegantly decorated with an Asian theme. However, some of the benches attached to the booths had worn out upholstery. Our server, Yumi (spelling?) was polite and efficient. We had the salt and pepper squid appetizer. It was plentiful and great with the accompanying sauce. However, we didn't like the breading. And I dared to bite into one of the peppers that accompanied it and it set my mouth on fire. For dinner we had the Szechuan scallops and the XO fish. The scallops were tasty and the dish had lots of broccoli, peppers, and mushrooms. The sauce was a bit sweeter than we expected. The XO fish sauce was very similar to the Szechuan sauce and though the fish was a tad salty, it was still savory. The asparagus that accompanied that dish was chopped (easier to eat) and there were plenty of sweet snap peas and bell peppers. We adore snow pea tips and were in the mood for lots of veggies. So, we got an order to accompany our meals. We did take home most of it, along with lots of broccoli (for me) from the Szechuan scallops. We were treated to a complimentary Chinese-style dessert made with peeled split mung beans and thickened with tapioca starch into a gooey, translucent pudding that was served warm. Our meal of 1 appetizer, 2 entrees, 1 order of veggies, a pot of tea, tax, and tip was $138.

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.

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.

At this restaurant they sell it by the pound, right along side the hanging duck which is by the pound as well. They sell so many dishes that are well-loved, but I tend to get the soup. It's so nourishing and flavorful. Top tip for parking...you can park in the back, but there are many restaurants on the same aisle so you sometimes have to wait for people to leave.

These legends welcomed our whole crew with zero wait like it was just another Tuesday--talk about VIP service. Now let's talk food.

The beef with broccoli? Tender, flavorful, and bathed in rich umami goodness. Honestly, if I could bottle that sauce, I'd put it on everything--maybe even my cereal (don't judge). The Honey Walnut Shrimp was love at first crunch. Perfectly crispy shrimp in a creamy, sweet glaze topped with candied walnuts and nestled on a bed of fresh steamed broccoli. This dish was the Beyoncé of the table--everyone wanted a piece. Those crispy, golden Shrimp Ball Fritters? Imagine a crunchy sea urchin made of joy. Light, airy, and addictive--basically the potato chip of appetizers. The pan-fried dumplings were thick, juicy, and had the perfect crispy sear. No sad, soggy dumplings here. Then came the crispy duck--dark, rich, and bursting with deep roasted flavor. It had that satisfying crunch you want, and the meat melted in your mouth. A must for meat lovers. But the real MVP? Those soup dumplings. Steamy little flavor bombs that explode in your mouth like a culinary fireworks show. Served in their own mini tins like royalty--juicy, delicate, and impossible to eat just one. The table went silent the second they landed. That's how you know it's real. With quick service, huge portions, and a menu that hits every craving from noodles to dumplings to sizzling plates of joy, Peter's Kitchen China Bistro was the unexpected gem we didn't know we needed. Cozy, authentic, and efficient--this place made our group dinner easy, delicious, and downright memorable.
