    Date: 04/2025 Rating: 2.5 RESTAURANT: Parking is ample. At the entrance, you will find brightly lit claw machines with cute toys. They definitely try to appeal to the younger generation, especially with their selection of bubble teas. Inside the dining area, it's actually not very big. They have a large wall projection or screen that sets the scene of the restaurant. There are also long counters of food options separated by hot pot and bbq category, including a sauce area and ice cream freezer. The place is clean, the food area was also spotless. The restrooms are clean and well stocked. SERVICE: The service was great. The ladies were nothing but accommodating. They were nothing like many Asian restaurant with cranky aunties rushing you or just being rude. We had about three different servers and they were all pleasant with smiles on their faces. They answered our questions and was always there with pitchers of water ready to refill our cups. They want us full fast. lol. They were swift to bring our orders and declutter our table. And when the bill arrived, one of them took the time to let us know that since there were 6 of us, that the tip/service fee was already included in the bill. And when we split the check in two, she took the time to remind us again of the included tip which just made me appreciate her honesty and we ended up giving them extra tip. I also have to mention my personal favorite part of their service, which was located inside the women's restroom.They had a cart full of products for women to use. I am talking about mouth wash with cups, floss, lotion, hand sanitizer, and pads. The sign they have addressed their female costumers as "sister"....something like "Sisters, please enjoy the products and use as much as you need." Very sweet. FOOD: The HOTPOT: The selections of vegetables, meats, seafood and other toppings were endless. They even had jelly fish, frog legs, sliced hearts. The sauce counter was just as enormous! Our family ordered the pork bone broth and miso broth. Everything was delicious. The DIMSUM: The selections was impressive. So we ordered our favorite dim sum items first. The first round, right off the bat, and for lack of a better word, were sad. They plates were small...5 measly rings of calamari, 5 pieces of sad looking chicken nuggets...I was put off by this instantly. But, I realized this is a buffet. Perhaps they don't want people to be wasteful, and we could always order more. Yeah...no...the plated items kept coming and they were just not good. I've been eating authentic dim sum for years and I am next door to one of the best dim sum restaurant in South Miami next to my job so I eat them more frequently than I ought to be, so my point is...I know. This is just our opinion on the dim sum dishes NO.....spring roll, cheese wonton, shrimp ball with cheese, sesame balls, phoenix claws, taro crystal puff. The spring roll tasted like its from a frozen bag. Sesame ball barely had sesame on the outside and bean on the inside. The chicken feet are my favorite...but not these. These were in halves so basically we were given a foot and a half...and since they were sliced half they had sharp long pieces of bones which could be a potential lawsuit, but it also tasted fishy...The rest just did not taste right. When we were thinking something was a dessert, it would be salty or have no taste. And the same goes with something salty and savory, it would turn out to be sweet. It was like a mind trick. OK......rice cake, pork and shrimp shumai, vegetable with oyster sauce, egg yolk bun, bun with red bean paste, shrimp dumplings, lava bun, pork short rib, egg tart..These were edible, not so much enjoyable. The veggie was lackluster, shumai was not what we were used to, I like the salted yolk but it gets gamey sometimes. The egg tart would've have been the dessert of the night but it arrived with barely any custard in it so it was mostly dry...and had it not been reheated several times, the flakey outside would've have been amazing. YES....Steamed items! Soup dumplings, BBQ pork buns, sticky rice wrap, pan fried pork bun, salt and pepper squid..We like pretty much everything that came in the bamboo steamer. The all agreed that the best dim sum of was the soup dumplings, we ordered several of those. They are small but the broth and flavor is there. They sticky rice had a small egg yolk and piece of sausage and had a nice flavor. The squid tasted like it was freshly prepared. The takoyaki is also not bad. Overall, this experience was not as amazing as I thought it would be. A place that have 3 of my favorite things, hot pot, bbq and dim sum I was really looking forward to this. However, the dim sum really fell short. The price point is a bit higher than Volcano and Kpot. Under 5 ft, it's half off. Service charge with groups over 5 people. It's a splurge but focus on the hotpot and bbq.

    Stopped by for a quick lunch and tried the barbecue option--great selection of meats and desserts. The service was fast, the restaurant clean, and the staff friendly. Plenty of seating available. I was surprised to hear from the waitress that they're closing soon due to low traffic. A shame, because it's truly a great spot with excellent service.

    The food was surprisingly really good for a Buffet. Including the Dim Sum was a bonus. The hot pot and KBBQ selection was awesome! Our server was super nice and ALL the employees seem eager to please. Will definitely be coming back.

    Went for their AYCE dim sum and har gaw was ok, ribs was ok with a lot of peanuts underneath. Some of the dishes that came out didn't look like the pictures at all they had us choose from. Not a big deal but the taste wasn't there like the authentic dim sum. Overall most dishes was just frozen mediocre dim sum. $37 is not a bad price if the dishes taste good but I will try again in the future.

    Really good Chinese donuts. Very crispy

    Very good all you can eat experience, satisfied my whole family. Husband and my older daughter enjoyed the dim sum very much. Me and my younger girls were very happy with the hot pots. We were surprised by many dishes. The Chinese donuts were very good. The rice cake with brown sugar dessert was supper yummy, and many dim sum dishes were very good too. We thought we can try the grill too, but after the dim sum and hot pot, we were all stuffed :)))

    Great service with such a friendly server. The variety of food is quite large with options for all you can eat hot pot, bbq, and dim sum. There is a bar where you can grab all your raw foods for the hot pot and bbq as well as a small dessert bar. If you want variety, this is the place to be!

    Amazing Service and Delicious Food. AYCE Dimsum, Hotpot and BBQ Loved the shrimp dumpling, steamed BBQ pork bun and the sesame balls. The pork bone broth was really good.

    Absolutely delicious and wonderful service! We came in on a Saturday during brunch to try the dim sum and didn't disappoint. The soup dumpling and the Lava buns were my favorite must try! I also tried the TomYum broth base for the hot pot and it was delicious definitely give this place a try.

    Great Service and Yummy Food. Plenty to choose from. Whether you're hungry for Hot Pot, BBQ, Dim Sum.

    The spicy soup is super good. The cold dishes are tasty, especial the chicken feet. Unlimited snow crab is amazing.

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.

These legends welcomed our whole crew with zero wait like it was just another Tuesday--talk about VIP service. Now let's talk food. First up, the tofu and veggie stir-fry--a glorious mix of crispy tofu cubes with perfectly sautéed broccoli, carrots, and bok choy in a savory brown sauce that hugged every bite like a warm hug from a Chinese grandma. 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.

Fried shrimp, dumplings, shumai, ribs, buns, and my absolute favorite, sticky rice.

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.

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. I love coming here with my family and friends -- it's the kind of place where you can slow down, cook together, and just enjoy the moment. Hot pot just hits differently during the cooler season, but honestly... in Florida weather, it's good any time of year. Juicy Pot is always a place I'll come back to whenever I get the chance. If you're looking for a flavorful, comforting, and consistently satisfying hot pot spot, this one is definitely worth checking out.
