There is no cart service so you order everything through the waitstaff or through the QR code. Overall, the dishes were average in taste, but plentiful in size. We ordered hacao, cheung fun, chicken feet, taro rice cake, bean curd roll, beef short ribs, beef chow fun, pan fried pork buns, beef scallion pancake, and salt and pepper fish. We also received complimentary boiled peanuts at the beginning of the meal and taro sweet soup at the end of the meal which were both enjoyable. The decor is modern and elegant with large tables for a big party and booths for smaller groups. It's conveniently located in the large chinatown plaza with ample parking and grocery stores and desert shops to visit during your trip.

I was feeling adventurous on a recent Saturday evening and took my less-than-adventurous husband to…read moreOne Stop Dumpling in Chinatown Orlando. This lovely restaurant is located in a large strip shopping center filled with Asian businesses. It's clean and formal-looking inside, but quite welcoming. We were seated immediately and a teapot of flavorful peach-scented tea was delivered. If you bring a group, the larger round tables are set up for sharing dishes. This could be a very fun experience. My husband ordered orange chicken for us to share. He also opted to use a fork. But since we were in a restaurant known for its dumplings, we ordered 2 varieties, fried plus their soup dumplings. I've had fried dumplings before, but never tried a soup dumpling. The orange chicken came with broccoli; my husband requested rice as well. The fried dumplings (with dipping sauce) arrived at the same time, followed by the (steamed) soup dumplings and some shredded ginger. Everything was very tasty. We brought some of it back to the hotel. The menu is extensive, so choosing what to try may be difficult. If you order soup dumplings, prepare yourself for them to burst, especially if you don't grab them from the top and consume them in a single bite. Lesson learned! Next time I'll put mine onto a soup spoon to eat. After the meal, our server brought bowls of coconut milk and boba. It was a very refreshing finish to our meal... at no additional charge. I would love to have this restaurant near to my home, as I have many family members who would appreciate the excellent food and atmosphere.

Located in the old Peter's Kitchen so there's lots of parking, which is necessary because this…read moreplace gets packed! You know how dim sum places can be right at open, but try and come on an AYCE day and you better be 30 min to an hour early cause the line's already forming. They only do AYCE on special occasion so follow their social media or stop by to see the signs. Luckily, my family saw their AYCE post and I made it home in time for the experience. $19.99 pp and you get EVERYTHING you could want. My brothers wanted the crispy taro ball and while the kitchen wasn't premaking to run to tables, my mom was able to order it to our table, without any extra charge. Everything was delicious. Nothing stale or flavorless. Service was quick, with dishes constantly coming out for our choosing and waters being refilled often. There's a gentleman here (pictured in red) that had the cheeriest, fun, welcoming attitude that made me want to rate this experience a 50/10. You rarely get this positive attitude and service from Asian restaurants (which is fine) and the way he just lit up the room!!!! Never too loud of crazy even though they had a full house. Definitely go try them even not on AYCE day.

We had previously eaten at the old Ming's Bistro location on Woodward Street, where we thought the…read morefood was decent. They've since relocated and reopened under the name Ming Garden on Colonial Dr. We noticed signage at the old location directing guests to the new expansion, along with a 10% discount code when you presented the picture. When we arrived, the restaurant was already busy. There wasn't really a designated waiting area, just tables throughout the dining room, so we stood waiting with about four other groups for roughly 25-30 minutes. We completely understood that they were busy, but there was no hostess or efficient check-in system, which made the wait feel a little disorganized. Once seated, we ordered quite a few dishes: fried shrimp balls, shrimp dumplings, siu mai, steamed custard cream buns, shrimp rice paste, fried meat dumplings, gai lan, and shrimp-stuffed eggplant. Overall, the food was average and fell a little short of the quality I was expecting. I know Ming Garden is a local favorite, so perhaps my expectations were higher. Some dishes also came out quite late, and we had to kindly remind the staff about them. One thing that made me question the sanitary practices was our shrimp rice paste. It came out later, and I noticed it had been sitting on the second shelf of the cart next to a rag. It wasn't the most reassuring presentation, especially when it comes to food handling. That said, the staff were very friendly and hardworking despite how busy they were. Some of our late dishes were also comped, bringing our total to around $53. The food definitely satisfies the dim sum craving, and I'd recommend the siu mai and shrimp dumplings! They're staples you really can't go wrong with. The interior is cozy, although a little outdated, and there wasn't much room for the dim sum carts to maneuver around the tables. Overall, I'm glad we gave the new location a try, but the food and overall experience didn't quite reach the quality I was expecting.

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.

Takeout is probably the safest bet. (It's quick serve, so you order at the counter and either take it to the table or take it home.) I got the Cucumber Salad, Chicken Koa Soi, and Taro Puffs. All of which were amazing! The cucumber salad was sweet and a little spicy. The cilantro and onions in top were chef's kiss. The chicken koa soi was so good! It was surprisingly sweet and spicy. (It comes with chili oil, and I put allll of it in mine.) I think the sweetness may have been coconut? I'm not sure, but it was amaze amaze amaze. I could drink that broth every day. Now the taro puffs...those were . It's really like eating mashed sweet potatoes in a crispy crust! I loved them! Needless to say, I ate a lot. I am fullll and happy. This is some feel good food!

I love the Hainanese Chicken combo because it comes with rice, chicken, and soup. My husband orders the Pad See U and really enjoys it. This isn't really a spot to come with large group since there's little to no sitting space. I'd say there's a 3 person table and 4 person bar in total. The food here is prepared pretty quickly, so I usually place my order, shop around the area, and then pick up before heading to another part of the store. The food here has a homey taste to it; and I can't recommend it enough.

I've tried many different Chinese restaurants in this area and the Clay Pot Kitchen pleasantly surprised by how good everything was. Most dishes were on the spicier side and heavily seasoned which my husband loved. The pig's ear was fresh, crunchy and numbing spiced. Comes in a big portion and lots of peanuts to add extra crunch. The pork belly with garlic sauce was my favorite. So much flavorful minced garlic on top. The poached pork belly slices were nice and thing but good ratio of fat to lean meat. The cumin lamb was a heaping portion and came with lots of thick lamb slices with leaks, jalapeños, chives and onions. Very seasoned and definitely on the spicy side as well. The 肉夹馍 minced pork in a flakey pastry shell was not as seasoned which is my preference but still tender, juicy and rich in flavor. The shell was very crisp and made fresh. The owner is very friendly and will come out to greet guests and check on how his dishes are.

We had the lamb (nice, thick pieces - so if you liked the shaved lamb, this isn't that) and the hot oil fish (extremely well done, very similar to one of my favorite restaurants in the northeast that I haven't been able to find down here). We also got a veggie dish that was good as well. I'm definitely coming back to try out different dishes, especially with more clay pots.
