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…

Ming Court Rocks!
by Sisco2100
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.
- Pros: Great location on I-drive, Good value for money, casual environment.
- Cons: Can be busy at night during conventions.

Ambience Makes Up for the So-So Food
by leeannw
If you're looking for an adventure in entertainment dining, regardless of how the food actually tastes, then this place is for you. If you're like me and you like good food, keep looking.
We had the Fried Dumplings which were acceptable (too chewy). The chef specialty Seafood in a Szechuan Sauce was actually nice, but I've had far better (tomatoes were nice touch). The Hot & Sour Soup was solid. The Pork Lo Mein was the most tasteless Chinese dish I've ever had. Ming Court, if you're reading this, my advice is to revisit that Lo Mein recipe and stop using the spaghetti that was on sale at Publix.
Service was amazing. The musicians were fantastic, a duo was playing the guzheng and erhu. I think we saw the woman playing the guzheng at the Chinese pavilion at Epcot.
- Pros: Service, Entertainment, Ambience
- Cons: Food, Food, Food
