The receipt
Patricia R.

I called my parents up and told Mami to get ready as I was picking her up to get some Chinese food by her side of town. She had been asking for some from this new place which still has not opened up yet so I told her we would go to the spot they will once in a bit get dinner from. It was early evening so we drove down, stepped in and placed an order of the shrimp lo mein ($10.25), a pint of chicken lo mein ($7.25) for my brother since he can't eat shrimp, a large boneless ribs order ($10) and crab rangoons ($6). They were all quickly prepared and back to my parents home we went. The shrimp lo mein was decent with tiny shrimp and not too many veggies, the noodles could have been a bit more flavorful. The boneless ribs ($10) were a touch tough and so were the rangoons though that happens to fried dough. It has been a few hours since the meal and the slight aftertaste remains in my mouth which I am not loving. The lady was quick when taking our order and their service was good.

Decent local Chinese, food is always piping hot and made to order. Anything can be altered to your spice preference. I recommend this spot over others across the street for sure. One of the best egg rolls. Great affordable prices and large portions. BEWARE: they are CLOSED on Tuesdays.

Supposedly, how special fried rice with ham!
Kenneth P.

lowering my rating to 2 stars: For what I used to pay 16.50 somehow magically it's $20 charge to 3.50 for house special and $1 ham I don't see none of those ingredients in my rice maybe one tiny piece of chicken and one tiny piece of pork. I've been here for years, lately I've been getting ripped off. And taken advantage of. The flavor is good but the service is going to shit! I overpaid I'm disappointed. I know a place where my whole meal is $14 with more than enough ingredients and taste way better. I'm going to start going over there.! Sad because I used to consider this place almost 5 stars! Last time I paid one dollar extra pork, they gave me last pork! This is stealing.

Excellent lunch deals! Not too salty which is greatly appreciated. Lunch choice entree, and egg roll or soup and a soda! Fed me lunch and dinner. Friendly staff. Carry out only of course.

I haven't written a review in a long time but I had to show support after ordering here. The chicken broccoli I got for a lunch special was perfect, not only that but the portion was huge and the service was great. I've had chicken broccoli from 2 other local Chinese food spots and not only were the portions smaller than at First Choice, but they tasted off too. This chicken broccoli that I got here was a 10/10.

Lately there has been a lack of good New York style Chinese takeout food in the east Orlando area and places that were once good took a serious nosedive. While there are very good places like Chuan Lu Garden offering a great more upscale Asian food experience, the typical Chinese takeout spot has seemingly all but disappeared. This has had me seeking a good New York style Chinese takeout place and trying the various local options. This restaurant is located in a mall anchored by a Publix supermarket and it is rather plain on the outside a bit run down on the inside. While I awaited my Chinese food, my attention was drawn to a group of four machines, one with gumballs, the other three with cheap trinkets and found myself wondering how old those gumballs actually were. But I digress... So, onto the food... I wish I could say it was good. I also wish wishes came true. Fifty dollars for takeout for four of us and there was nothing good about it. My daughter and I split an order of steamed dumplings. This might have been the worse out of all of our offerings. It tasted like the dough was not fully cooked. It was also bland, which was the one consistent throughout this meal. Bland. The egg roll was terrible. The curry chicken was bland. I upgraded to a fried rice for $2.00 and the rice was dry and, like everything else, bland. The only thing that was halfway decent was the wanton/egg drop mix soup. My search for good New York style Chinese takeout continues.

Super oily eggplant in garlic sauce
Enit S.

Well, this wouldn't be my first choice I'll say that right off the bat. The people working there were unfriendly and looked miserable. I ordered the eggplant in garlic sauce and it was an oily mess (see pic) it had good flavor but why was it drowning in oil? At least the vegetable fried rice was good. When I got home there was no fork, no soy or duck sauce packets in my bag; I was surprised to find a fortune cookie. I'd be reluctant to go back just cause the eggplant was so oily, leads me to believe everything else probably is too.

Mike A.

As usual, the food is spectacular! So fresh and tasty! Enough food for 2 people to share. Do have to mention the egg rolls are not the same as they use to be. Completely different and disappointing. This is the only negative feedback. I wish they would change them back.

The xiao long bao (soup dumplings) are so good; but so was everything else. Prices are moderate, but well worth every penny. The setting is great, feels Asian but is quite comfortable for most Americans. The service was the only area that wasn't great. I'm giving them a pass because of the time of day we visited. The team was friendly and ready to help but had to be waved down when we needed things. Bottom line... we will return when we're in the area again!

We waited 15 more minutes (20 minutes from being seated) and we flagged down a server to take our order. Another party got tired of waiting and just left. The restaurant was only 30% full so there was no excuse for this. However the food came out in about 12 minutes after ordering which is not bad. The food was delicious! We got the house knife cut noodles, pan fried Peking duck buns, and the bok choy with garlic. Everything was excellent. The noodles were so tasty with the beef being the best. The boiled egg is a little odd but it was still good. The Peking duck buns were so good! I am convinced that the only reason this place is still in business is because the food is so good that it offsets the terrible service If you have a lot of time and don't mind waiting for your food. I definitely recommend trying this place. Other people had better luck with the service but I saw at least one other person say that the service was bad. The food is 5 star but the service is 2 star so I gave it a 4 overall.

The food did come out quick however, and funny enough, the appetizer came out last. Skip out on the chicken and garlic appetizer for sure. Our table didn't like it so we sent it back.

In terms of the protein, the beef was good but had some mint pieces in there that were completely off putting. The shrimp was a bit too sweet and the chicken green peppers (not photographed) were decent as well.

One entree works for about 2-3 people. I tried 3 dishes. My only feedback is the Dan Dan Noodles were not close to what I expected. This is my go-dish at Sichuan restaurants and these didn't have the flavor or texture. To make mine taste more flavorful I relied on adding some sauce from my fish entree to this. I'll come back as this place has such tasty food. The seating is good too and it's a good location!

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.

Kai Kai original owners left so Tasty Wok is the next best bbq even in the past…read more My regular order here for mostly take out is : Shrimp Pan Fried Noodle , Beef Chow Fun, Char Siu, Mandarin Egg Tofu dish, Fish Filet with Black bean sauce, Walnut Shrimp, Seafood Pan Fried Noodle, Salt & Pepper Squid (they use baby squid bodies), Fish filet with Bean Curd. The BBQ meat combo plates are also delicious. The roasted duck and crispy pork is also delicious here. As you can tell from my order they have delicious food. The food here is consistent with the taste and flavors and this is why Tasty Wok imo is ranked #1 in Cantonese chinese eats here in Orlando. Customer service here is ok, But its what the taste of the food that matters so you tend to brush it off LOL. You can request hot chili oil because they tend to forget that when you pick up take out. Also the duck sauce they supply when you order roasted duck is delicious on rice and to dip meats in. I usually request that to dip my ducks, crispy pork skin and char siu. The sauteed greens here is also delicious - anything market price on the menu is delicious. They offer wall specials like Cantonese Lobster - I heard its a good choice to try out sometime.

Each time I order it, they tell me that shrimp dumplings are extra. They are very much worth it, by the way! The noodles in this soup are egg noodles. The tender bite draws you back. The chinese spinach is nourishing and offers iron to give you strength. The crispy pork is amazing. But it is really crunchy. At this restaurant they sell it by the pound, right along side the hanging duck which is by the pound as well. They sell so many dishes that are well-loved, but I tend to get the soup. It's so nourishing and flavorful. Top tip for parking...you can park in the back, but there are many restaurants on the same aisle so you sometimes have to wait for people to leave.

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.
