At East Garden, you will find great food and great service. The restaurant is very welcoming, and the menu is large. We were seated quickly, and once we ordered the food, it came out in no time. I tried the Stir-Fried Chinese Broccoli with Garlic and the Salt and Pepper Tofu. The broccoli was perfectly cooked and had a great garlic flavor. The Salt and Pepper Tofu tasted great but was a bit greasy. My family ordered Lobster with Ginger and Scallion, which they raved about. I would definitely return if I were in the area. read more

Really good dim sum! Workers are super friendly and food comes out relatively quickly. Everything was really good, but some standouts for me were that the pork and egg congee had so much egg which I love and the siu mai were so plump and filled with so much meat. 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. read more

Quaint and clean, East Garden is located in the Chinatown Mall just west of downtown. Service was friendly and attentive. Food is classic Cantonese on par with the food in that style I've been served in New York. Be warned - the tastes are amazing and the portions are generous. If you enjoy authentic Chinese cuisine this is a place to go! read more

2nd time here. Once dinner and this time Mother's Day dim sum. The ladies here are always friendly. They were very busy. No host specifically, the wait staffs came up front to check the waiting list that they've left on the table that you had to fill in yourself. Their dim sum menu isn't very vast but had the usual more popular selections. Their beef congee wasn't a huge portion but it contain loads of beef. Didn't get to have any of the steamed bbq buns because the kids ate them. We didn't end up ordering much from the dim sum menu, we did ordered salt & pepper squid & snow pea stems because we liked it the last we were there. The lady must not heard when I ordered the shumai so it was never placed with kitchen, but our shrimp rice roll and Chinese fried dough in rice roll never arrived either. Told them about missing items when asked for the cheque and they verified and took off bill. Would have liked to see how they taste but I guess we'll try next time. read more

I was in Orlando for vacation with my sisters and here to celebrate lunar new year. We found this authentic Chinese restaurant to eat our new year's meal. It was packed that night. The food was very good. The portions are pretty big so that's a plus. They had a 2 lobster special so we ordered that. Other dishes we got were beef chow fun, snow peas tips, chicken corn soup and 2 dim sum dishes. (Haw gow and beef churn fun) It's great you can order dim sum even at night! The meal wasn't even that expensive for how much food we had. It was extremely busy but they were very nice and accommodating. I like the layout of the restaurant with booths and the yellow color of the chairs were nice. I will definitely come back here to eat again! read more

East Garden - Eggplant stuffed with shrimp - Dim Sum Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This is a popular place for families and locals looking for good family-style dining or dim sum. I think the food here is very tasty and heartwarming. Everything is freshly prepared and served quickly. I think I prefer their large family style dishes over their dim sum and would recommend the Beef Chow Fun, Salt and Pepper Squid, Walnut Shrimp, and Water Spinach. I love how bright and clean the space is. Service is quick and the servers have always been great with us. read more

Love East Garden--it's a must-stop every time I'm visiting a theme park nearby! The service is always fantastic, and the ambiance is exactly what you'd expect from a classic Chinese restaurant. I always order the fried pig intestines--they hit every single time! (Portions were a bit smaller than usual this time, but still tasty.) We also got the tripe again, and it was perfect as always. This time, we tried the lobster deal in the fried garlic style--absolutely delicious! Can't wait to come back again in a few years LOL read more

East Garden - Lobster, Spicy Beef Tripe, Beef with Mushroom in Oyster Sauce, fried intestines - Dim Sum Near Me - Orlando, Florida

DIMSUM REVIEW ONLY I was craving dim sum and ordered takeout. Ordered 4 orders of Siu Mai and 3 orders Eggplant stuffed shrimp paste. 4 pcs of Siu Mai is $6.95 each and 3 pcs Eggplant stuffed shrimp paste is $7.95. The Siu Mai is not as big as Ming Bistro size but it was tasty no pork smell and had some shrimp and little mushrooms. It was not greasy or salty . I would order these again based on price point and taste was not bad. The Eggplant Stuffed Shrimp Paste was ok. The shrimp paste was fried but the size of the eggplant was bigger than I expected. The sauce was the downhill. It was watered down and had no umami flavor or taste. It was bland for me. The shrimp paste was not as tender as I expected it and to me the frying part of it just was not for me. I will not order these again. Ming Bistro version is better especially the thicker sauce. This place was busy this day and lots of asian clientele. read more

I like the food there. Compare to the quantity and size of the food, I think their price is fair among the restaurants. Definitely a restaurant to revisit. We got three dim sum item to start. We have the turnip pudding. The edge was will pan fried to crispy. We also got stuff eggplant. I like the size and the soften skins of eggplant. The last dim sum items is the crispy taro dumplings. I am ok on that item. My wife likes it. The two main dish we have is the beef ho fun and the pork belly with preserved vegetables. The ho fun was cook well with stir fry. I like the braise sauce of the pork belly. Go well with rice. Next time I am there, I probably get the Hong Kong style two lobster. Service is good. read more

I visited with my parents during a trip to the large grocery store next door. We were immediately greeted and seated upon walking in the door. We got a mix of dim sum and traditional dished, but the star was the twin lobster stir fry special -- the meat was bursting out of the shell making it well worth for its price. The sizzling beef (on the hot plate) was tasty but not my favorite. read more

The portion for entrees are huge!!! Cantonese style seafood pan fried noodles and beef chow fun are delicious! If theres only two people just know youll be packing food to go home. The dim sum comes out fresh and most of the rice rolls and shrimp balls are not too doughy. It is the right consistency. The size of the shrimp is also pretty decent for the price. There are many other places that have very tiny shrimps. The service is great! They are quick and attentive. It can get pretty busy on sunday so if you want to beat the crowd go a little earlier. read more

Service: very bubbly and welcoming waitresses who were quick to ask if you had any questions. Food: Overall a solid Chinese experience. The shrimp that came with the coconut shrimp were delicious and huge! The sauce was overwhelming though and they could have used a lot less of it. The Peking Duck was a tad bit overlooked but the skin was perfectly crunchy and well seasoned. I wish they had the thin rice papers instead of the bread-like bao buns. I chose not to use the buns and still enjoyed the Duck-onion-sauce combo. The hot and sour soup was HUGE. I forgot to look at the menu to see if we got a special serving but im glad we had a lot. It was tasty. read more

My boyfriend and I came here last weekend with my parents, and we're already planning our next visit! I grew up eating Cantonese food, my parents and grandparents even owned restaurants specializing in it, so I would say we have pretty high standards. This place completely blew me away. I had no idea we had such an incredible spot for authentic Cantonese dishes nearby. The service was great and the inside was very nice and clean! We came for dim sum this time and also tried the beef chow fun and salt and pepper squid. The chow fun had great wok hei and came in a generous portion--super satisfying. Salt and pepper squid is my favorite dish to eat and they did an amazing job. Every dish was absolutely delicious. I can't wait to come back and explore more of the menu! read more

This is a hidden gem in Chinatown. I have tried many dim sum places in Orlando, but so far, this one has to be my favorite. Our waitress was very attentive and super friendly. The menu was in Chinese, Vietnamese, and English. There was a variety of items on the menu. We mainly ordered dim sum. The menu was decently sized. Our orders came out promptly. Though only one item was forgotten, as soon as we asked, they made it fresh to order, and it was served on our table in less than 10 minutes. (shrimp paste rice paper). We went with stuffed eggplant with shrimp paste and scallion pancakes for appetizers. The scallion pancakes were delicious. They came our crispy and hot. The stuffed eggplant was unique. The rest of our dumplings and dim sum items came out fresh. They were stuffed to the brim and the filling was seasoned well. With a great experience, this is definitely my new go to spot for dumplings. read more

If you're looking for great dim sum and amazing Chinese food, this is the place to go. You won't regret it!!! My kids love the dum dum pops they get when they leave. read more

It's small inside and hidden just left of the Asian supermarket. The servers were extremely friendly and responsive. Overall I feel like the food is above average. I will say I think most of the Dim Sum options are equal or better at YH seafood clubhouse. In particular the Salt and Pepper Squid is better at YH than here, however East Garden's egg tart is largely better. Ha Gow and Shu Mai are similar at both places as is the Gai Lan. Overall I'd have to give the edge to YH simply because it is better lighting and more open and because of the S&P squid. If you are closer to the colonial Ave area or if you need to go grocery shopping after Dim Sum East Garden will be fine. My wife seems to recall Ten Ten is better. But I'm documenting this for my own record as much as fellow yelpers. Take care! read more

Love this place a lot. I am a huge fan of Cantonese cuisine and this place has it. Staff are friendly and the seating is plenty. I came for lunch and left so full. I love the shrimp dumpling, shrimp paste(rice roll), and the green onion pancake. All can be found in the dim sum section. I've had before the Singapore mei fun and my husbands loves their beef how fun. You must try this place out when you are near Kirkman and West colonial. read more

I have always wanted to try this place as so many people told me that this is their favorite place to get dim sum in Orlando. I got so many things. - Fried Shrimp Balls: Good, crispy, the dipping sauce is amazing - Shrimp Rice Paste:The noodles are way too thick and the sauce is not it - Siu Mai: It's okay but the mushroom ratio is way more than my liking - Ribs: It's tender but different. - Shrimp Dumpling: This is good - Chicken Feet: Average After all, I'm glad I went and tried it but I'm still on a hunt for the best dim sum place here. The service is very nice though. They're very friendly and attentive. The ambiance is great. I think it's best to come with family and friends so you can try many things. read more

Came here for dinner, and there was no wait. The menu had a great variety of authentic Chinese dishes. We got the crispy fried squid (from the dim sum menu), clams with black bean sauce, beef ribs with black pepper sauce, braised fish with tofu, snow pea tips, and twin lobster with ginger and scallion. My favorite was the lobster! The deal of 2 lobsters for $35 was amazing! The lobster was tender and tasty, and had some good, large pieces. The clams in black bean sauce was pretty good. They were tender, but a little sandy/salty. The braised fish with tofu had a great flavor, but the fish had a little too much breading. The beef ribs also had a good flavor, but was a little too chewy. The fried squid had good pieces of squid, but maybe could have been crispier/hotter. The snow pea tips were solid. Overall, we enjoyed the meal here! The inside of the restaurant looked clean and nice. The service was exceptional. The staff was kind and attentive. read more

Went with my girlfriend for lunch last Sunday after playing badminton. It was busy around noon but we got a table about 15 minute wait!

All the food came out fairly quickly in a roll so we were able to eat some while the others are on their way! The decorations are older style but the food is yummy and service is great!

Came in for a post-Thanksgiving dim sum fix. Arrived around 1pm for a late lunch on a Friday afternoon and luckily experienced no wait! I was craving shrimp rice noodle rolls from the dim sum menu but those weren't on the menu so I settled for other shrimp options: shrimp stuffed eggplant and shrimp wontons. The dimsum was good but I noticed there weren't many vegetable options unless you ordered from the regular menu. Dim sum plates range in size from M to XL and plates are priced between $5.95 (m) to $14.95 (xl). Dim sum can add up quickly if your eyes are as hungry as mine. The Beef Ho Fun was probably the fav of the table. The noodles and fried rice were generously sized to share as was the seafood congeee which was comfort food in a bowl. East Garden is located in Chinatown next door to Edson market which makes it the perfect spot to stop for a quick meal before shopping at Edson so you're not shopping & filling your cart on an empty stomach! Service was good - all tables, including ours, seemed to be getting all their food quickly. The bathrooms are single stall so there always seemed to be a line at the women's restroom. read more

I'd read good reviews of this place, so I was looking forward to it and went with a friend on a Sunday evening. It was busy but with a few tables available, so we were seated immediately. We had 2 servers throughout the visit who were both friendly and knew what was in each dish such as the kind of meat. Unfortunately many of their dim sum dishes, although they sound like they could be vegetarian (ex. Chive dumplings, taro dumplings), have meat in them. I ended up getting the green onion pancake ($6) and Chinese yam dish ($29). Both were flavorful, and the pancakes were nice and crispy. Portion sizes were generous. However, the yam was not cooked consistently and some pieces were still raw and tough to chew--overall not worth the price. My friend got the beef and glass noodles pot which she liked the flavors but noted a grittiness in the food. Overall sadly not the experience we were hoping for. read more

This is a hidden gem in Orlando's Chinatown - did you even know Orlando had a Chinatown!?!? We came here for a family-style dinner and it was quite good! We called ahead and they were able to accommodate a large party last minute. We didn't order any dim sum but stuck with the entrees - walnut shrimp, seafood pan-fried noodle, Singapore noodles, salt and pepper squid, Peking style pork chop, bok choy, fried tofu, and a sweet and sour fried fish dish. All were delicious and we had ourselves a mini banquet! The Peking style pork chop (loved the flavor) and salt and pepper squid (so tender) were exceptional. Don't sleep on this place. read more

Our go to place whenever we are in Orlando. Food is always good. Not too salty and traditional. Service is always good. Much better than typical Chinese restaurants.

Service was so bad today. I love coming here but lately the food and service has been getting worst. New workers rather stand and talk. The shrimp dumplings and shu mai today were bland and rubbery.

We went during dim sum hours and the service was okay. We were a little confuse cause we had to wait a bit before someone approached us. They was also no sign saying we could sit anywhere either. When we did sit down, it also took a little bit before someone came and ask for our drink order. I had to get the menu from the front myself. Overall, not very pleased with the service. The dim sum was okay, nothing spectacular. The only thing I really enjoyed was their hot and sour soup. It's spicy with a bunch of seafood. The portion are also generous. I would definitely go back and do to-go just for the soup. Possibly next time, I would go for their dinner menu. It seems authentic, things my family would order, and people seem like they had a more positive experience. read more
