    Pork Soup dumplings
    Boon C.

    Great restaurant to be. It is new restaurant in Chinatown. Definitely a good choice for Chinese food. There are many Chinese restaurants here, this is one of the few good restaurants. We were here for their hand made Xiao Long Bao - soup dumplings. Our order did not disappoint us. The soup is a lot pus the meat is plenty. This place them in good soup dumplings restaurant. We also have the pan fried wontons. This is the first time I have wonton this way. It is recommended. We also have fried pork chop. They are delicious. Service is good, food is good too.

    We have started coming here often because of how great the food and service are. I honestly cannot say enough good stuff about this place. It is very beautiful inside. It looks very new. It's always very very clean when we go as well. I almost always get the soup dumplings this time. I also tried the coconut milk with sticky rice because I haven't had that dessert since a Malaysian restaurant in New Jersey that we used to go to consistently. I really hope I can find a place that has ABC. But for now this restaurant does also do a snow ice which I will try next time. I was just too full this time to be able to try another dessert. Everything here has been very good so far and we have come about three or four times but this was the first time I got a dessert and I am so glad that I did because it taste very similar to the one from New Jersey at the Malaysian restaurant. It is such a flavorful dessert and it's not too heavy, but it is nice to share. Will continue to recommend this place and also continue to come here when we can.

    This used to be Supporo Ramen. It was sad to see them go, but this is a good replacement! We came and had a lovely dim sum experience. The table got scallion pancakes, chicken soup dumplings, Thai chicken and beef pot stickers. Everything was delicious! The scallion pancakes and the soup dumplings were the favorite of the group! The service was excellent too. The waiter was very friendly and helpful for the dietary needs of the table. I will definitely be back for the soup dumplings!

    We stumbled across this area after leaving the carribean supermarket. All this time I never knew Orlando has a china town... And it didn't disappoint. After reading reviews on yelp we decided to come to here and get a bite to eat. We started with steam dumplings & soup dumplings. Our mains we all had something different. Many options of different noodle types ... cold, hot or soupy they also offered rice bowls! Sooo yummy everything was great and service was fantastic I forgot the gentleman name that helped us but he was so friendly and very helpful to help us understand the menu. They also make the soy sauce homemade We will definitely be back.

    First time there. I've read many reviews of people saying this place is great. A couple of weeks back, I went to walala which is just a few doors down. Liscious is 10x better. It did not disappoint. I only had a few things 1. Pork and noodles were excellent 2. Chicken soup dumplings were well cooked but yet still able to pick up and bite into 3. They offered a potato noodle appetizer which was excellent I plan to come back many times. This place roxks

    Loved trying Licious for the first time. We made a reservation but the restaurant sat us quickly. Plates were perfect size to order and share with someone else. Our food came out quickly and our servers were attentive, checking in often to see if we wanted to order more as we went. The food itself was so yum. I loved the noodles and will definitely be going back!

    Food: The food was good. They send it out when it's ready. My husband really liked the spicy wontons. They were spicy but not too spicy. I liked the fried chicken but it was spicy. My husband said it had no flavor to it besides the spicy part. The main dishes were decent but it was way more noodles than protein. We will probably stick to appetizers there. Service: it wasn't busy at the time we were there but more people showed up. They were quick to service us and very friendly. Our server was very tentative to our needs. He was very nice. Ambiance: It was a cute little place with only indoor seating. Comfy seats and nice decor. Apparently, they have a special combo deal for $9.99 but it's only for lunch. They need to add that to their huge banner outside.

    S1: Pork soup dumplings
    Robert G.

    This spot completely exceeded my expectations. While I mainly came here to try the Pan Fried Pork Buns, all of the food I tried was actually delicious. First off, Pan fried pork buns were just as good as they looked. The meat inside the buns was full of flavor and the 4 buns were extremely filling. The crispy bottom of the buns was probably my favorite part! The soup dumplings were full of soup! Nothing is worse than ordering soup dumplings and the inside is just a drop of soup. These really might be some of the best soup dumplings in the Orlando area. Next I had the sesame sauced pork noodles and the tossed wontons. While neither of these were amazing, they definitely were not bad at all and full of flavor. I could totally see myself ordering the Wontons again, but I probably wouldn't get these specific noodles when I return. I finished off all of this with the Black Mango Sticky Rice. This was actually pretty good! The coconut milk was amazing in this dessert as well as the rice. The only negative was that there was barely any mango in it (it legit only had like 5 small mango chunks). Also the ratio of milk compared to the Rice+Mango was really off. It was mostly just a bowl of milk with a little bit of rice and mangos. I still really liked this dessert and will totally get it again when I come back. With so many great food options in the Orlando Chinatown plaza, I feel like Licious really stands out. The price point was honestly great and all of the food punched far above their price point with generous portion sizes. With their good service and great food, I will definitely be back to try some more things from here!

    A delicious Chinese restaurant in China Town of Orlando! The restaurant os vibrant and modern with a good amount of seating. I received friendly service from my server, Bobby who was very informative of the menu. I started with some apps, being spicy wings, and marinated Tofu. Never had tofu before, but this sauce with this was delicious, and the wings were crispy, but not spicy at all. I had the scallion pancakes which were crisp and another delicious app. The potstickers were nicely packed and went great with the sauce that it's plated it. The seafood curry was a show stopper, and not spicy at all. Also very hardy with the amount of pasta. The rice bowl may not look like much, but the pork has so much flavor and the rice helps fill you up. I'd return to try more of the menu for sure!

    Located in one of the Chinatowns in Orlando along the popular Colonial Drive, Licious Noodles & Bao is one of many "fusion" asian cuisine restaurants. I forgot to ask exactly when they opened but everything in the restaurant appears to be fresh, clean and new. Top marks for that. There's ample seating with half booths and tables. One thing that really stood out is their emphasis on lighting. The entire place is nicely lit including their restrooms. Yes their restrooms. I so impressed with the unique wall lighting that I took a picture. When we arrived for lunch on this Sunday of MLK weekend, they were not busy so we were seated rather quickly. Unfortunately there appeared to be only 2 servers and they got busy as more patrons arrived. It took us a few minutes to get our orders but our cucumber infused water came out quickly. It was a chilly day and we wanted to have some hot herbal tea. Unfortunately the large 10 top that was beside us already ordered hot tea and were using the only 2 teapots that the restaurant had. Yes hot tea was unavailable because the establishment only had 2 small pots. In my experience, if you cannot provide a menu item consistently, then don't have it on the menu. Only offer it as a side item if a guest inquires. We ordered a wide variety of apps and entrees. Our portions arrived as they were completed. The sliced pickled mushrooms was a cold app and wasn't my cup of tea, but others in our party liked them. My favorites were the soup dumplings served in the steamer baskets. It was on par with other soup dumplings I've had and most importantly they were served fresh and hot. We also tried their fried potstickers. Nicely pan fried, they were filled with the tasty pork and chives. Yom Yom Yom. You can't eat at a place that has Bao in their name and not try some Bao so we tried their pan fried pork buns. This was interesting because the buns were first steamed then thrown on the pan and flash fried to add a bit of color and firmness to the bottom of the bun. This was a first for us and it turns out, doesn't affect anything anything other than aesthetics because the buns tasted just fine albeit a little crunchy and "blackened" on the bottom. Tammy enjoyed her beef noodle soup with thin slices of beef in a salty beef broth. Be warned that the YN1 Yibin Spicy Noodles is NOT the pictured bowl of noodles right above the menu item. The Yibin is a dry noodle with no soup. They might want to make some kind of notation to that nature on the menu. I tried the N5 Seafood Curry Noodle soup. The coconut curry soup was quite good and not as spicy as it could've been. The pieces of fish and and shrimp were delicious and complemented the noodles nicely. As we were enjoying the last of our meal and winding down, the restaurant started to get busy and our server asked if we could relinquish our table. We had no problem with that, but it left a bad taste in my mouth after an otherwise lovely lunch.

    Pork Soup Dumplings

    Saw them on social media so we decided to give them a try since the menu looked great. Restaurant was clean and had an open layout. We had a party of 6 so we had to wait 15 minutes to get seated. Once seated, we waited for about 10 minutes until I had to wave down a waitress to take our order. We placed numerous dumplings items, and in the beginning, a few items came out, but then it just stopped. We were missing a wonton dish and all of our noodle dishes, and at this point we were there for an hour. We noticed other patrons getting their noodle dishes that came in after us so we inquired about it and were told they would let us know. 5 minutes later no one follows up so we inquire again to another waiter and was told they would check but again, no one comes back. We decided to tell the main lady to cancel and she then also says she's going to check, and again, no update. At this point it's been 1-1/2 hours since we've been seated and we're stilling missing 5 dishes with no updates so we decided to get up and just firmly cancel the dishes. They apologized profusely but we were never given a reason why it took so long and why we were never given an estimate of when to expect our food. Just keep being strung along. The food that we actually did receive was but the overall experience was just bad and inexcusable. Our party was all really disappointed we weren't able to try their noodle dishes, we did however paid for what we did eat, but after this experience, we just can't bring ourselves to return.

    Delicious, affordable, and in a beautiful restaurant. Found this gem on social media and I loved every item we ordered. The scallion oil chicken is a must order as well as the cucumber salad. It's hard to pick in the Chinatown plaza but this is definitely my new favorite spot in the area. Very much a 5 star experience. Not only was service quick but I love a pitcher of water placed on the table. Even more of a bonus is the option for cucumber water.

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 beef stew was easily the standout--rich, flavorful, and the beef was so tender it practically melted in your mouth. The vermicelli noodles were just as impressive.

The garlic butter sauce really takes it over the top. Don't be fooled by the Orange Chicken--Boneless chicken, fried perfectly and coated in their authentic sweet orange sauce.

With the cucumbers and lettuce, it makes the dish refreshing and with sticky rice it was so good! Chicken curry: a nice mellow flavor thats not spicy and the chicken is super tender and juicy. The potatoes in the curry are nice and soft, with a bit of a bite, and with rice makes it a hearty meal!

    A hidden gem with very authentic Chinese food. No bells and whistles mom and pop shop. Service was…read moreefficient and food came out quickly. Prices were good for the portion sizes. Lots of Sichuan cuisine options as well as some soup dumplings and unique cold appetizer dishes. We started with spicy chicken gizzards. Sliced thin and has a nice chewy texture, this app is refreshing and tasted great. Not super spicy which was perfect for me. Then we ordered the tea smoked duck. Nice big portion of duck with plenty of meat, fat and bone ratio. The smokey flavor is brought out in the meat and it was savory but not overly salty. The braised beef tendon casserole came out piping hot. Tendon was tender and easy to eat. Lots of rice vermicelli in it. Plenty of parking in the lot outside and conveniently located in the Chinatown Plaza.

    Simple, authentic, Sichuan food in the same space as where they used to have simple, authentic…read moreShanghainese food . . . but apparently the business changed owners and the new one was more an expert in Sichuan cuisine, hence the change of cuisine. The key test of the authenticity is how well they can do Dan Dan Noodles and they did very well with this classic dish-subtle flavors, the right amount of Sichuan pepper as well. Good dumplings and cold noodles, too. The space is small, no-frills, and I would guess much of their business is done in take-away as well. However, there is enough room to dine there in comfort and the staff is prompt plus also seems truly interested in their customers enjoying their food. I highly recommend it for casual Chinese right in the heart of Orlando's little Chinatown plaza.
