Dim sum in Orlando is not hard to find, thanks to these five great restaurants! From pork dumplings to pad thai to roast duck, these locations have some of the most delicious dishes that you’ll be itching to dig into. So take a break from that quick stop at a drive-thru for dinner, and instead, take time to enjoy your meal.
One of the most important parts of dim sum is the friends you share the meal with, so round up some of your best pals and keep scrolling to figure out which place you’ll be trying first.
This first location calls itself “the best Chinese in Orlando,” so we’re starting this guide off strong. Chuan Lu is where you’ll want to spend your afternoon with dishes like Sichuan chicken, pork buns, fried crab rangoons, and dumplings stuffed with practically any filling you can imagine! They’re located on East Colonial Drive, five minutes from Lake Eola Park, so a sunset picnic is absolutely in the cards if you order your food to go.
Check out their full menu linked below or view their website for more information!
This next location is tucked away in The Grove over in Windermere! Dim Dim Sum has a menu full of delicious options, so everyone finds something they love. In addition, their specials menu has some exciting plates like football pork dumplings, fried sesame balls, and pan-fried turnip cakes, so choose a selection and share with your friends!
Their entire menu is available below, complete with pictures in case something sounds unfamiliar!
This next restaurant where you can find the best dim sum in Orlando is also located in The Grove! Hawkers is a great place to sample great Asian street food at a low(ish) price. The Roti Canai, which is a Malaysian flatbread served with a curry sauce, is a great dish to start. Of course, you can’t go wrong with their Pad Thai or selection of Bao Buns, either.
Check out their full menu on their website below and their different locations around the US (just in case you’re taking a trip and can’t go without Hawkers for one weekend…because, same).
This next location offers dim sum in the traditional and Venezuelan-style ways. Of course, you can’t go wrong with the Fried Rice, Lo Mein, and Chop Suey on the menu. However, Hong Kong Alley invites you to step outside the box and try other dishes, like Roast Duck Noodle Soup, Salted Pepper Prawns, or Twice Cooked Pork!
To add icing to the cake (or…soup to the dumplings?), pair a Hong Kong milk tea or Thai tea with your meal! Hong Kong Alleys Kitchen advertises delivery as if you are in a five-mile radius, and ordering online to pick up is also offered. View their website below for more details and check out their full menu!
This last restaurant on our list of the best dim sum in Orlando was voted Best Chinese and Best Wings in the 2022 Orlando Sentinel Foodie Awards! They have almost twenty dishes on their menu that qualify as the “Chef’s Special” and then separate sections dedicated to dishes with beef, pork, chicken, and seafood.
If you’re someone who can never decide what they want, Peter’s Kitchen isn’t going to make it any easier for you because the food combinations are endless. Check out their full menu on their website below to start deciding on your meal before even getting to the restaurant!
