    Water cup served on the table had a lipstick stain! Disgusting! The dimsum here is still one of the 3 tops but serving dirty water cups is just way disgusting!

    It has been a while since we last visited Ming's Bistro. In Orlando, I think this holds the best dim sum place. All items were freshly cooked, and we also ordered the deep-fried seafood noodles, which came promptly. The staff was very friendly.

    Went here on a Sunday for dim sum and on weekends are pretty busy so try to come out early if you can when you walk in they make you sign on this sheet by the door with how many in your party then like a few minutes later they call you and seat you at a table. They go around with a cart and you choose what dishes you want and they mark it on the paper. Service was quick and food was delicious at the end you pay at the register with your ticket from the table.

    Standard/classic dim sum options. The snow pea tips with garlic is top tier. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance and decor is minimal but you go for quick, good food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We also got the wonton noodle soup but didn't take a picture. All this food with plenty of leftovers for 2 people was about $70.

    First time checking out this location. The parking was a bit tight since it was a Friday night. It was packed everywhere in the area of the restaurant. Once I made it inside, I just sat at an empty table. One of the employees walked up and asked what we wanted to drink. I ordered hot green tea and they gave me jasmine tea. I really wanted green tea. I even asked if they had it, and she said yes. So, I just sipped on the jasmine. Next, the inside is a bit dull in decor, but some of the table's center pieces spun to share plates in large group settings. I ordered dim sum of course. Before I begin, I have a huge recommendation for the establishment. Please list items accurately within your food. For example, you list a chive dumpling, but instead, it's shrimp and chives. I am allergic to shrimp, so bitting into a chive dumpling then it turning up being a whole shrimp, was shocking. I am not upset, but if I was someone who didn't have slow allergy reactions, I could've had an anaphylaxis reaction. My table ordered 4 things to try out. Beef Rice Paste : The sweet soy goes amazing with this. It was well prepared and had a nice sweet and savory flavor mix. Pan-fried Chive Dumpling: It is not only chives. The outside was nicely crisp and tasty, but the inside did not have chives only. It has a whole shrimp inside of it. I had to spit it out immediately, so I didn't have a bad reaction. Spicy Chicken Feet: It was not spicy at all, and I was surprised. It was actually bland in flavor, like having a old fashion donut compared to an iced donut. Pork Dumplings: Perfectly crisp on the outside and the pork was tender and tasty. I would definitely recommend this one. They give you a lot of meat. I would go back to try some of their other dishes. Just not for dim sum again. The staff during checkout was friendly and helpful. Thank you guys for the experience.

    This is my first time going to dim sum! I have always wanted to try it and it's so satisfying seeing them come with all your dishes on the cart and seeing everyone else's! The staff here were kind but the decor was lacking a bit. I ordered Hot Tea to start and it was good. They gave us cute little cups and a big teapot. We got the Spicy Chicken Feet which I was scared to try but honestly it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Wasn't spicy at all though. The Chive Dumplings were amazing, very flavorful and good dumpling texture. I've always wanted to try Rice Rolls and we got the Beef paste ones. These were so good! The sweet soy sauce they put on top goes perfectly with them. Lastly we got Pork Dumplings, wow these were stuffed with meat! The dumpling wrappers they use here are so good and chewy! The pork wasn't ground up so it surprised me but it was still good. I'd like to try this place again and try some other dim sum items or some of their entrees.

    Came here with a coworker for lunch. I have never had dim sum, so at first glance, the menu options were different from any Chinese restaurant I had been to before. (Chicken feet, shark fin dumplings, beef tripe...etc.) I decided to pick a lunch item I was familiar with and try a couple of my friends dim sum items to stay on the safe side, but everything was good. The chicken fried rice was delicious and did not need anything. I also tried the general tso chicken and sesame chicken and both were very good. I would definitely go back and try some more from the dim sum menu. There is street parking available or a parking lot on the side and back of the building.

    Shrimp Rice Noodle
    Michelle T.

    This place is down a side street so if you are looking for the location to be on the Main Street think again. After I was able to secure parking - behind the building (its tight) we walked down and around the corner to find the front entrance. Note: there is street parking available however it is questionable and there is building construction happening in the area. if you are use to Dim Sum they do have cart service however the selection is limited and do not have all the accompanying sauces. The Har-Gow dumpling wrapper is thicker than normal. The Fried Shrimp balls are greasy and the Shrimp Rice Noodle lacked flavor. Not. impressed by the Dim Sum and have had better.

    Do they have dimsum all day and is it fresh if you go after 3pm?

    Yes, they serve dim sum all day. If you go on a weekday or evenings, the dim sum is made to order. Enjoy!

    Do they have dim sum cart service on the weekends?

    Yes!

    Do they serve vegan dim sum?

    Do they use MSG at Ming Bistro?

    Probably and probably a lot of the foods we eat such as fast food from chick fil a...mcds...… 

    What time is the Sunday brunch?

    They serve the dim sum on carts on the weekends if that's what you mean. They open I think at 1030 am so they'll have that available ready to eat when you arrive.… 

    Is dim sum served on weekdays? All day?

    Yes. But no cart service on weekdays - which I actually enjoy more bc it's fresher!

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.

Every weekend when we went to the farmers market they always have a large line and people would be walking away with multiple dishes.

I went the traditional route with getting a pork dumpling and I was not disappointed. It was fried perfectly on one side and had that steamed effect on the other.

I chose sweety thai chili sauce because I like the sweet, zesty kick it gives which was a great compliment to the food. It was only $6 for 4 decently sized dumplings which wasn't bad. I'll be back to try the other flavors next time!!

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.
