What People Are Saying About Ming Court-Innovative Oriental

The Scene
View the serpentine cloud wall crowned by engraved sea-green Chinese tiles in the entryway and you know you've entered an exceptional Chinese restaurant. The interior is softly lit with candles, while glass-walled terrace rooms overlooking a lotus pond filled with colorful koi add to the mood. Ming Court's innovative menu offers specialties from diverse regions of China, and often features fresh Florida seafood. The fast and friendly service tends to back up when conventioneers take over the I-Drive strip.
The Food
Request a dim sum menu upon seating and choose from selections like chicken and rice cooked in a lotus leaf or steamed chicken buns. Or begin with a variety of appetizers such as wok-charred Mandarin pot stickers, crispy wontons stuffed with vegetables and cream cheese, and wok-smoked shiitake mushrooms topped with sauteed scallions. The entrees, including a deep-fried chicken breast served with a delicate lemon-tangerine sauce, are as entrancing as the decor.

Gorgeous scenery with the koi fish pond in front, and nicely decorated dining area. If you love sushi, or if your trying it for the first time, try the Volcano roll!! It is so good, you will order a second plate! Their dim sum is also great. Highly recommend.

Wow.. that?s all we can say. We went to Ming Court while on a trip in Orlando this past December. It was recommended by the hotel?s guest service person, who by the way, was setting up appointments to see Hilton vacation Club timeshare. We didn?t do that ? and believe me, you got to watch these guys! Any rate, Chinese food is usually not my first pick, but one of my wife's favorite. I take it all back. I have never had such great Chinese food. The menu at Ming Court is unbelievable? tons of stuff, from steak to sushi, and an amazing selection of Dim Sum appetizers. Never saw anything like it. I had Shrimp with Walnuts and it was out of this world. My wife had Chicken with basil and she loved it too. This is a big restaurant with one side has a large pond area ? very pretty. And they have live music (no cover charge). I really liked this place and recommend it to anyone who likes above average Chinese food and I will say, also at the average price. Great place in my opinion.

I have been here for both for lunch and dinner. Their menus are slightly different where they offer dim sum in the mornings/brunch. It is really great! Also for dinner, I love their Peking Duck. One order of the Peking Duck will feed a party for 2. I highly recommend it!
