    Shrimp Fried Rice

    It's a small cozy place. The food came out quickly and it was hot! Everything was simply delicious. Highly recommend.

    Water cup served on the table had a lipstick stain! Disgusting! The dimsum here is still one of the 3 tops but serving dirty water cups is just way disgusting!

    It has been a while since we last visited Ming's Bistro. In Orlando, I think this holds the best dim sum place. All items were freshly cooked, and we also ordered the deep-fried seafood noodles, which came promptly. The staff was very friendly.

    Went here on a Sunday for dim sum and on weekends are pretty busy so try to come out early if you can when you walk in they make you sign on this sheet by the door with how many in your party then like a few minutes later they call you and seat you at a table. They go around with a cart and you choose what dishes you want and they mark it on the paper. Service was quick and food was delicious at the end you pay at the register with your ticket from the table.

    Standard/classic dim sum options. The snow pea tips with garlic is top tier. Ambiance and decor is minimal but you go for quick, good food. We also got the wonton noodle soup but didn't take a picture. All this food with plenty of leftovers for 2 people was about $70.

    First time checking out this location. The parking was a bit tight since it was a Friday night. It was packed everywhere in the area of the restaurant. Once I made it inside, I just sat at an empty table. One of the employees walked up and asked what we wanted to drink. I ordered hot green tea and they gave me jasmine tea. I really wanted green tea. I even asked if they had it, and she said yes. So, I just sipped on the jasmine. Next, the inside is a bit dull in decor, but some of the table's center pieces spun to share plates in large group settings. I ordered dim sum of course. Before I begin, I have a huge recommendation for the establishment. Please list items accurately within your food. For example, you list a chive dumpling, but instead, it's shrimp and chives. I am allergic to shrimp, so bitting into a chive dumpling then it turning up being a whole shrimp, was shocking. I am not upset, but if I was someone who didn't have slow allergy reactions, I could've had an anaphylaxis reaction. My table ordered 4 things to try out. Beef Rice Paste : The sweet soy goes amazing with this. It was well prepared and had a nice sweet and savory flavor mix. Pan-fried Chive Dumpling: It is not only chives. The outside was nicely crisp and tasty, but the inside did not have chives only. It has a whole shrimp inside of it. I had to spit it out immediately, so I didn't have a bad reaction. Spicy Chicken Feet: It was not spicy at all, and I was surprised. It was actually bland in flavor, like having a old fashion donut compared to an iced donut. Pork Dumplings: Perfectly crisp on the outside and the pork was tender and tasty. I would definitely recommend this one. They give you a lot of meat. I would go back to try some of their other dishes. Just not for dim sum again. The staff during checkout was friendly and helpful. Thank you guys for the experience.

    This is my first time going to dim sum! I have always wanted to try it and it's so satisfying seeing them come with all your dishes on the cart and seeing everyone else's! The staff here were kind but the decor was lacking a bit. I ordered Hot Tea to start and it was good. They gave us cute little cups and a big teapot. We got the Spicy Chicken Feet which I was scared to try but honestly it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Wasn't spicy at all though. The Chive Dumplings were amazing, very flavorful and good dumpling texture. I've always wanted to try Rice Rolls and we got the Beef paste ones. These were so good! The sweet soy sauce they put on top goes perfectly with them. Lastly we got Pork Dumplings, wow these were stuffed with meat! The dumpling wrappers they use here are so good and chewy! The pork wasn't ground up so it surprised me but it was still good. I'd like to try this place again and try some other dim sum items or some of their entrees.

    Came here with a coworker for lunch. I have never had dim sum, so at first glance, the menu options were different from any Chinese restaurant I had been to before. (Chicken feet, shark fin dumplings, beef tripe...etc.) I decided to pick a lunch item I was familiar with and try a couple of my friends dim sum items to stay on the safe side, but everything was good. The chicken fried rice was delicious and did not need anything. I also tried the general tso chicken and sesame chicken and both were very good. I would definitely go back and try some more from the dim sum menu. There is street parking available or a parking lot on the side and back of the building.

    Shrimp Rice Noodle

    This place is down a side street so if you are looking for the location to be on the Main Street think again. After I was able to secure parking - behind the building (its tight) we walked down and around the corner to find the front entrance. Note: there is street parking available however it is questionable and there is building construction happening in the area. if you are use to Dim Sum they do have cart service however the selection is limited and do not have all the accompanying sauces. The Har-Gow dumpling wrapper is thicker than normal. The Fried Shrimp balls are greasy and the Shrimp Rice Noodle lacked flavor. Not. impressed by the Dim Sum and have had better.

    I was craving Chinese food and ended up at Ming's. The decor is a bit drab and dark, but they have a good menu with a lot of options. It was a Wednesday, but they still offered some dim sum items like the shumai, shrimp balls, and dumplings. I love dim sum, so I was excited to have a few of my favorite items. We also ordered the Singapore rice noodles, Buddha's delight, and salt and pepper shrimp. Our food came out pretty fast. Everything was piping hot and tasted great. Portions are fairly generous. We had plenty left over.

    One of the best dimsum place in Orlando. its our spot. whenever we say dimsum then we're here. We usually go on saturday and yes its always packed. Expect to atleast wait maximum of 45 minutes to an hour unless you get lucky. We order all the good stuff like pork spare ribs, beef tripe, pork sticky rice, chicken feet, pork or shrimp siomai and many more. Everything is delicious! I highly recommend this place!

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.

    I was craving Tasty Wok (again) & decided to order 2 more dishes that I haven't had in years…read more Mandarin Egg Tofu With House Sauce Fish Filet with Black Bean Sauce These 2 dishes are HOUSE SPECIALTIES so that means they are known to be unique dishes and delicious. Mandarin Egg Tofu - Egg tofu is very delicious and is similar to silken tofu consistency and this dish is delicious. It has pork strips, enoki mushrooms , mini corn, snap peas, green onions. The egg tofu is fried first and once you bite into it its very tender and silky smooth texture and kind of creamy. This is my favorite tofu. The house sauce is a big brown based sauce. The snap peas seemed a little overcooked losing its bite and crunchy texture nonetheless still a memorable delicious dish. This would be a great vegetarian dish if you opt out the pork strips, Fish Filet with Black Bean Sauce - This is usually served or listed on the menu as a rice plate dish. I usually eat this dining in and its a delicious plate entree. They use Swai filets for this dish. For $1 extra you can order it as a dish with rice on the side and you get more fish filets etc separate. This is a lightly battered fish filets fried and topped with house brown sauce with slithers of onions and red / green bell peppers. Of course the brown sauce is black bean sauce so you will see speckles of black beans with the sauce. There are ginger notes as well when you devour this dish. The fish filets are cooked perfectly so soft and tender. The rice served here can be better imo. Perhaps better brand or grain rice? Also ordered my regulars ; Walnut Shrimp, Beef Chow Fun. Walnut Shrimp - Request ordering this (take out only) having the broccoli stored separately. This provides the shrimp dish to not be soggy. I think you get more shrimps this way too. Tasty Wok's walnut shrimp is by far the best in orlando imo - they really seasoned the shrimp itself prior to dressing it with their creamy sauce. The sauce has a tad sweetness to it & some sort of umami. The shrimps are jumbo large sized. You get about 10-12? Shrimps in this dish. I have had my share of tasting this dish at different restaurants and by far Tasty Wok's is by far my favorite. Beef Chow Fun - Another favorite from Tasty Wok. Wok Hei present, Tender seasoned beef thinly sliced, and Tender wide noodles. It was under seasoned salt wise but eating it with their creamy sauce seasoned beef makes up for it. Again, ate my share of Beef Chow Fun at many restaurants and by far Tasty Wok's have been my favorite thus far. They offer free mini tubs of chili oil upon request. Also chopsticks. Tasty wok do not seem busy dining in but they are busy with take out orders.

The staff were friendly and prompt. We came around late lunch and it was picking up after we were seated. The space is wide and has the old traditional Chinese restaurant aesthetics with a slight modernization. You can see all the crispy meats hanging at the front counter like a traditional shop. We ordered the Shrimp Wonton Soup with Egg Noodles. My go-to for comfort food. I've been a customer since college days and they make one of the best shrimp wontons. I know they've tweaked the recipe a little since the shrimp filling used to be ground up, which was better, but it didn't take away from the freshness. The broth is consistently flavorful with fresh greens and egg noodles. I somehow like the texture of the noodles more than the spaghetti size ones. We ordered the Crispy pork Belly and Duck combo which is really well seasoned. Some bites may be a little salty but it balances out with the rice. You can hear the crunch on the pork belly which is my favorite. We also got the Beef Chow Fun. It's wide noodles and cooked with scallions, beansprouts, and white onions. It was cooked over a flame so you can taste a hint of a char which is not overwhelming or greasy. It's the perfect balance to all the items. What I didn't order was the Water Spinach but it is one of my favorite vegetable dishes. You have to try it when it's available! I had hot tea with it and lots of hot chili oil in my dishes! I am happy they have remained pretty consistent in the dishes. Only on a couple occasions it was off but not many times. There's a small parking lot and plenty of street parking. They share it with other popular spots like Haan Coffee, Sampaguita, etc.

Every visit here feels cozy, flavorful, and perfect for gathering with family and friends. Let's talk about the broth because that's the real star. My absolute go-to (and forever favorite) is the Tom Yum broth -- it's rich, aromatic, and packed with that perfect balance of sour, spicy, and savory. I love customizing it the way I grew up enjoying Thai hot pot by adding extra mushrooms, tomatoes, chili peppers, cilantro, green onions, garlic, and a squeeze of lime juice. The flavor becomes even brighter and so comforting -- seriously next level. The ingredient selection is another huge win. There's a great variety of seafood, different meats, and an abundance of fresh veggies, so you can really build your bowl exactly how you want it. Everything tastes fresh and the portions are generous, making it one of the best hot pot experiences in Orlando by far. Friendly staffs. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, which makes it perfect for both small dinners and bigger group hangouts.

If you're looking for a flavorful, comforting, and consistently satisfying hot pot spot, this one is definitely worth checking out.
