Food quantity: 8/10 Food quality: 7/10 Service: 9/10 Overall rating: 8/10 Ordered a feast for delivery and they packed it all pretty well in a large cardboard box for transportation.

Peter's Kitchen China Bistro - Fish Filet in Hot Chili Sauce, String Beans, Cucumber Salad, Shrimp w. Black Bean Sauce, Shrimp w. Broccoli, Pork & Cabbage dumplings. - Dim Sum Near Me - Orlando, Florida

When you're rolling 10 deep and craving Chinese food, your odds of getting seated quickly usually feel slimmer than a wonton wrapper. But not at Peter's Kitchen! 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. read more

New name, fantastic food. Called Peters because I couldn't order on an app. I'm not sure if they have the market place apps set up. No problem, they took my order over the phone All the food was fantastic. The interior is nothing fancy read more

I've been craving all these food so I got House special fried rice, I feel like it's missing a seasoning. It was okay for me and there's lots of meat it so that's a good thing. Shrimp balls are my favorite they are big and lots of meat inside. I love it!! Shrimp dumplings soft and good portion I love it!! Shrimp and chive dumplings are really good and they're big I love how chewy it is, feels like mochi! Shrimp and pork Sumai are big portion it's good. Shrimp and Tofu needs some seasoning it just tofu. It's was okay.. Sesame balls are really big and delicious the most I love!! Egg tart was good and their big portion. The service is great! I'm not sure if she's the owner but she was really nice and kind they always checked on me and refills my water. I hope they had more drink options. The place is clean and organized. I will definitely come back here! read more

Peter's Kitchen China Bistro - Dim Sum Near Me - Orlando, Florida

It's been a few years since I've been here. I can't believe I've never reviewed them. They have a good Dim Sum menu. I remember getting a few items here. I got a lotus wrapped sticky rice that I remember really liking. I also remember getting sesame balls that were pretty tasty! I'll have to go back some day. read more

Oh how this restaurant has fallen. Its been a few years since i visited this place. It used ro be that if you wanted Dim Sum (before covid) there were several restaurants on 50 that you could go to. Peters was considered the best. I was extremely disappointed. I tried a few things and they were flavorless. The restaurant was empty at 6pm. read more

I think my rating after several years remains the same. Food is pretty consistent. Very flavorful and comes out hot. The only downside was that during my last visit, the air seemed to not be on. It was HOT- and during Florida summers... that's never fun. read more

I've had a love/hate relationship with Peter and his Bistro (sounds like a bad children's book), and decided to give it another try since dining during Those Covid Days. It still wasn't what I remember before craziness hit the earth, but it's a bit better than the 2 stars I gave it last time. The main reason for the "just Ok" was the last visit being a tale of 2 dishes. The first being the absolutely amazing Szechuan Wontons. These are so good and I'd go back for these. They're not as good as Chuan Lu Garden's (my absolute favorite), but good enough. The main course was the Dan Dan Noodles. I jokingly called them Bland Bland Noodles because they have no flavor (the same I found with the Mapo Tofu). Dan Marino would surely Pass on these! Danny DeVito would throw these noodles from the train. Dan Fouts would also Pass on these (gimme a break, there aren't that many famous "Dans" out there). I guess like any restaurant, they do some dishes very well and others not so well. I've just been picking more of the "bad" ones lately. What gives, Peter? read more

This place is not called Peter's Kitchen anymore, but I didn't see the new name listed as a choice in yelp. It has new management, but little has changed here. The servers are very attentive and checked in on our table often. Most people come here for the dim sum. I decided not to do dim sum and order entrees for this visit. I did notice that the dim sum orders came out much quicker than the traditional menu items. I waited about 40 minutes for my tofu to be served and was quite hungry. This is a family style set up where dishes are brought to the table as they are ready and you just share the plates. Unfortunately, I was the only non meat eater there so I couldn't eat until my order was ready and it was last! The food itself was good. I ordered the black pepper tofu chasing a high from a black pepper tofu dish that I ate over 25 years ago in a restaurant that has since closed. It's not as good, so I will order something else next time. Everyone else at the table gave positive ratings to their meals. read more

Came for Dim Sum and to take an entree to-go for lunch the next day. First of all, the chili oil that they have on the tables tastes great with EVERYTHING. I even put it on the sweet egg buns we got and it was so good haha. Let's talk Dim Sum. I think the prices were extremely fair for the portions! All the buns were made perfectly. The Siu Mai was delicious and pretty big/filled up! The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the Crispy Seafood Dumplings. They kind of reminded me of empanadas but made with tempura. My boyfriend loved the crispy seafood dumplings though. Let's talk about the entrees. I got orange chicken, and my boyfriend got general tso's chicken. THE ENTREES WERE SO GOOD. I could actually taste the fresh orange in the orange chicken. I've been to a few Chinese restaurants that you can't tell the difference between the general tso's and orange chickens.. but this was definitely distinguishable! I wish it came with more broccoli though. The staff was extremely attentive to our needs. They even boxed up our food when we asked for boxes for our stuff to go (I was not expecting them to actually box up our food. So nice of them) and they even brought an extra container of the chili oil without us asking because they saw how much we were using haha. I will say though that our table was near the sinks or something, and I felt like we were being watched by the staff while we ate. I would've liked a bit more privacy, but they have other tables in the restaurant that are away from the area that the staff runs out the food. Just unlucky table placement for us! I would definitely come back. read more

I haven't been able to find just a normal old school Chinese restaurant around here until tonight. Pulled in on a whim cuz we were in the area. When I seen the vinegar on the tables and the lazy Susan's I knew I may have found something good. The fried rice was delicious as was the orange chicken. I liked the mushu pork but my husband wasn't a fan of that dish. I'll def be back. I wanna try the beef next time. I'm just so glad we have another Chinese option other than changs.

Peter's Kitchen China Bistro - Dim Sum Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Somebody likes this place, it was full at Saturday lunch the day we went. Darned if I know why, though. The dim sum cart featured the usual suspects, executed competently. IIRC, we ordered the leaf wraps, sesame balls, some tripe dish, a few other items. Staff was polite. I gave them 3 stars for delivering the basics. And again, somebody likes this place, so maybe their regular entrees are good. However, their egg rolls and shimp wonton soup were terrible. The wonton soup in particular was a cut below the usual mediocre. Dark opaque broth, not light. Tasted like beef bouillon straight out of a cube. No baking soda, squid powder, or other traditional wonton soup ingredients. Wontons were mushy. Our quest for a good wonton soup continues... read more

Pros: Such a good vibe in this place during dim sum brunches. Nothing makes the people happier than those carts rolling around, ready for the picking. Service is always great. The ladies always seem to know what to recommend, based on what you've ordered thus far. The food is always ridiculous. How do they make it so delicious? I've never had a bad thing from here. Cons: No cons. There are only cons if you don't come with enough friends. Then you don't get to try as many things. Tips: Everything is great. One thing I was pleasantly surprises by was the turnip cake with XO sauce. Never had it before, but now it's my favorite thing! read more

Service was great but the dim sum not so much. We tried several plates and the best one was probably the siu mai and fried shrimp ball. Unfortunately the rice noodle was very pasty like and the fried rice did not have a good flavor. We could barely eat it so it went to waste. The service was excellent though but can't say I'd come back. read more

Peter's Kitchen is located in a standalone building and shares a parking lot with Burger King, so there's plenty of parking. The decor is standard Chinese restaurant vibe which is interesting since this place was completely remodeled when it opened. There's and old-fashioned fell with several large circular tables for groups and many smaller 2 or 4 person tables. Nothing exciting to look at but it's adequate. This restaurant is recently known for their dim sum. I'd have to say it's a better option than Lam's Garden, because their quality has gone way downhill in recent years. I've actually had dim sum at Peter's Kitchen twice since they opened and it's got some good and some mediocre items. I've also stopped in for their lunch, which is reasonably priced at $9.99 and comes with a soda. Dinner price point is a little higher than most Chinese restaurants. Service is usually hit or miss. Sometimes I'll get a seasoned staff member who is pretty efficient and quick, but the last few times I've been stuck with a new server. Although he's a nice guy, service was below par. I've had to wait for my entree while everything else was served. Not to mention you have to hail someone down if you need anything. I'm sure service will improve with time. Just make sure you check your check since they incorporated a new system so you may be charged for your sodas when it's included in the lunches. On this occasion, I had lunch with my sister. My favorite is the Shrimp with Chinese Vegetables. They are generous with the number of shrimps and it's seasoned well (whenever they don't forget to add a pinch of sugar). The rice is a bit dry so I drowned it with their hot chili oil so it worked out. My sister ordered the Chicken with Black Bean Sauce which she was disappointed. There's a slight charred taste to it that makes it bitter. In the past we tried the General Tso's Chicken but it tasted more like Sweet and Sour Chicken and not our favorite. For good General Tso's you need to go to He Sheng on University Blvd. I ordered the Fish Maw Soup. It was well seasoned and a good balance with the lunches, but for $14.50, it was quite smaller than I expected. A few other times I've tried other dishes, yet they were also hit or miss. All in all, I have a love-dislike relationship with this restaurant. I can say I like the flavors enough to return, but if I lived closer to Yummy House in Altamonte Springs, I'd much rather go there. I'd have to say some of their dish's are quite similar in flavoring which is why I'd return to Peter's Kitchen. If you're looking for affordable lunch and a step up from the fast food style Chinese fare, you should stop in to Peter's Kitchen. read more

Larry was a very nice waiter, the restaurant was clean being decorated very nicely. My favorite dish was the braised pork belly, very soft and delicious. My Singapore noodles were cold sadly. But nice flavor and it comes with shrimp, beef, and pork mixed in. The sesame chicken was the best I've ever had. Very light breading and amazing chicken, it's pretty sweet. My family and I have been looking for a nice sit down Chinese restaurant, this place is it! read more

I was looking for a roasted crispy Chinese duck and found this place on my way. It was a so-so experience. Service was distracted, good attention but not on point. The ambience was nice, good ambientation. I would say the food was good until getting to taste the duck, i ordered a full roasted crispy duck ($40 dollars) I found it overcooked, not too flavor-rich and not crispy. Their Dim-Sum is a good experience, the presentation (cart) can improve. The options were good!. Shrimp Ball, ribs among other options were good! Overall an ok place read more

Just a great consistently delicious place to eat in or take out. The staff is very friendly and efficient and even though the tables are close to each other the customers are all happy.

Dim sum tasted like frozen food, not freshly cooked, especially shrimp dumplings. It Might be Americanized Chinese and some is just ok. Taste is very blend to me as an Asian. read more

My friends and I wanted to try a din sum restaurant, so I googled & yelped for some ideas. Peter's came up on our search and it looked the most appealing! We asked our waitress (Linda) for suggestions as we're no to savoy. She suggested 3 different dim sums to share & we ordered our entrees: General Tso's tofo instead of chicken. fried green beans w/pork. Chicken & broccoli. Hot & sour soup. Everything thing was exceptionally good! Service-outstanding! We'll definitely be back! read more

I would say their dim sum is good, but not great. I've definitely had better elsewhere. The fried items we chose were also cold. I don't know if it's because we came at 1pm towards the end of lunch, but the waitresses kept heavily pushing food items onto us (beyond just a suggestion) which was a little off putting. We were seated quickly with many open tables. Peter's Kitchen is good for a casual dim sum fix, but I would look elsewhere if you want really good dim sum. read more

Slappin and booty tappin. The Egg and Tomato dish is worth a visit as a standalone. I've would've been content just eating that during my visit. But of course I went in I had 3 types of dumpling from their dim sum menu and a beef haw fun plate as well. I began the experience with a pot of hot tea, to get the juices flowing. And flow they did. Service was speedy and friendly. Ambiance was 270 degree views of Colonial-sweet! But I'm here for the food. I never got around to visiting here when I lived in the area. Happy I finally made time. I left happy... read more

My family and I have been coming to Peter's Kitchen here for years. They are great sometimes but when their terrible my oh my is it absolutely terrible. As a reference point for non-locals Peters Kitchen at one point in time used to be the only push cart dim sum north of restaurant row. I would even go as far to say that in 2018 they were the best of the best. Over the years Peters Kitchen has always had a policy of your entire party being present before you are seated. The past year they have been noticeably flexible with their regulars who somehow don't need to abide by that rule but also get sat before anyone else. The overall quality of their dishes can be hit or miss as well. Some days their order of snow pea tips are perfect and other times it's wilted down soggy pieces. Same goes for their dim sum. One day their baked Cha Sui Bao is fluffy and soft and other dark black and dry. Our family was in town for Chinese New Year. With our schedules being jammed pack the holiday snuck up on us. We had a party of 9. I know what your thinking big parties never do well. However something that should be noted is a true Chinese meal is always served communally so large dishes are common and large parties are expected. It's just most people like the novelty of the push carts so menu items are typically not ordered. Our family intended on ordering several dishes primarily whole duck which signifies bringing in the New Year whole. The trouble started again with the seating. A family that was waiting for the rest of their party got sat at the ten top and there was only four people present. We specifically waited to checkin until our whole party was there adhering to their rule. We overlooked it and waited patiently as the next ten top was only had to be cleared. We ordered several dishes. That came out one at a time. Yup. We literally had to take one bite of a dish than wait. This went on for an full hour with each dish being brought out one at a time. After waiting with no food for thirty minutes the server came to us and said that they ran out of duck. One of the toughest parts of being a restaurant is being consistent. Consistency defines the customers expectation when they arrive. If you need a dim sum spot that you are trying to enjoy with guest I would avoid Peters Kitchen. However if your not that hungry and just want descent food at a great price this is your spot! read more

Peters Kitchen/Chuan Lue Gardens, interesting name history- definitely worth checking out the Orlando Weekly article. Dim Sum always tastes fresh and a fun restaurant for a family meal.

The dim sum here has gone down hill. There were times the dim sum tasted spoiled. YH Seafood Clubhouse at Dr Phillips is where its at for the BEST DIM SUM. Top Chef Hung has been spotted eating there (YH SEAFOOD) at the bar area a few times and he has posted it on Instagram. The portions here for even dishes are not as much anymore. It is still a good spot for chinese eats but for dishes I go to Green House (Beef chow fun they cook it good here) on OBT or YH Seafood Clubhouse nowadays. read more

We've been to this restaurant before but don't remember if I've ever written a review before. Early Saturday evening we arrived with plenty of parking. Inside we were seated quickly but they were setting up for a big party so seating was limited.

We would consider coming back here another time. read more

I was excited to try Peter's kitchen as it has been recommended by friends. The building is a little older and restaurant was pretty busy on Sunday. They have dim sum available on Saturday and Sunday, delivered by cart. We were seated after a short wait and the staff promptly wheeled the Dim Sum cart by. Really enjoyed the fried pork dumplings and the fried shrimp balls. We ordered house special fried rice and the appetizer portion of Hong Kong duck. The duck was great but cold despite it being "freshly made" for us. We also had the Pork Belly from the Dim Sum cart with part of it being so over cooked it was inedible. Overall the temperature of all our dishes were just warm. I don't think we will be back, there are plenty of other great restaurants in the area. read more

I've been wanting to try Peter's for quite some time. We decided to order delivery from them via Uber Eats. We got some pork dumpling, General Tso's chicken, and chicken pan fried noodles. The food came quickly and we tried the dumplings first which were really tasty and well prepared. The General Tso's was probably my favorite I've tried in town. It wasn't overly sweet or overly battered like a lot of spots and actually had a pleasant kick of spiciness that can be lacking at some places. My boyfriend was hoping to order with fried rice instead of steamed so we could try that too, but it wasn't an option on Uber Eats. Not sure if it is for dine in. I also enjoyed the pan fried noodles. They packed the noodles separately from the sauce which was nice since it didn't get soggy and the noodles become a great consistency when all mixed together. Overall, this is definitely a spot I will try again and I definitely want to go in person to try their dim sum options! read more

For the best chinese in Orlando, Peter's will always be my go-to option. I have been here countless times and while there today, I realized I had never reviewed them! To start off, their dim sum. All of them are amazing but my favorite are the Xia long bao and the Siumai. These are usually made to order and super fresh. Completely packed with meat and with a nice balance of flavors. Next up the soup, this hands down is the best wonton soup in the area. It is so comforting to have and while many others are bland, this one has that nice broth with lots of flavor. The entrees are big and this place is best for family style meals. My favorite is the sesame chicken, boneless ribs and shrimp in garlic sauce. All the sauces give the proteins and extra kick of flavor. For noodles, the beef chow fun and singapore are a must. They are really delightful. Also, they offer an amazing lunch special everyday. Worth every penny. Service is amazing and friendly. Do not miss out on Peter's! read more

So sad to write this...we've been loyal to Peter's for nearly a decade, but visited today as we traditionally do for Mother's Day and it was not the same. We went in at 1pm and every dish we got from the carts was lukewarm and cold quickly. "Soup" dumplings stuck to the bottom, no actual soup inside. Calamari was cold and soggy, sesame balls (not pictured) were dry and hard to eat. Pork buns had little filling and also dry and hard to eat (probably due to not being freshly steamed). Sliced pork was good, but couldn't finish since many pieces were tough from sitting around. There were several items I was used to getting that weren't offered: fried seafood dumplings and shrimp stuffed tofu. I understand it could be the time of day, but the one thing I enjoyed most and looked forward to when visiting Peters is "consistency". Even during Covid when all orders were to-go, everything tasted fresh. I hope this review is read by the new owners/management and changes are made. For years, when asked where's the best place for dim sum in Orlando, I would 100% of the time say Peter's. Now I don't know where to recommend. So sad!! read more
