    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.

    Bean curd just ok

    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
    Shannon T.

    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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
