    They’re back, and they’re better than ever! If you love Chuan Fu, you’ll love this place too. They’re by the same owners, but they bring a different experience to the table with its own set of dishes on their menu. The biggest difference being that this location offers a wide variety of dimsum options made fresh and in-house by their own chef. Make sure to ask for that dimsum menu! My favorite dimsum items are the pan-fried radish cakes, fried eggplant and shrimp, and steamed egg custard bun (these are black-colored lava buns that have a sweet and salty filling). When it comes to main dishes, I highly recommend their beef chow fun, stir-fried green beans, sesame chicken, and seafood tofu claypot. In terms of ambiance and overall impression, the ambiance here is sleek and modern. The interior is spacious and clean. And staff are friendly and pleasant. Service is fast without sacrificing the quality and presentation of the food. We have brought a gathering of 20 guests once, and it didn’t take long for food to arrive on our table. All of the guests were very happy that night and left with good things to say towards the food and restaurant. They have a parking lot behind the building, but street parking is also available if the parking lot is full.

    First time trying this place with my family. It’s very spacious on the inside and pretty. The service was wonderful and our server was super sweet. However, the food was just okay, we ordered the spicy free range chicken which was okay, it was just a cold boiled chicken and the sauce was oily but the cucumbers in it were good. Soup dumplings wasn’t really that good or the shrimp shumai. I did really enjoy the beef chow fun though. Portions are very small here so I would say that a family of 3 would be good but if you bring more people definitely order a lot more food.

    A must-visit gem in Downtown Orlando! We stopped here during the Foodie Bus Crawl, and let me just say—this restaurant stole the show. From the moment we walked in, the staff was impeccable—warm, attentive, and clearly proud of the experience they deliver. Every dish was beautifully prepared, bursting with flavor, and showcased the kind of authentic Chinese cuisine that’s becoming harder and harder to find. The food was truly exquisite—rich, balanced, and made with intention. You can taste the tradition, the skill, and the love in every bite. If you’re in Orlando and want a culinary experience that rises above the rest, A Gourmet Chinese Cuisine deserves a permanent spot on your list. An unforgettable stop on our Foodie Bus Crawl!

    We have been long time fans of Chuan Lu Garden, so we were so excited it finally opened back up!! The staff were very friendly and attentive, though I will note that for most of our dining experience we were the only people there. The renovations look great - more modern and sleek. It did feel like a large conference center though. There is a dim sum menu that we had to ask for separately. We got the house fried rice, dry fried green beans, pan fried pork buns, soup dumplings, and the beef chow fun. Surprisingly, the beef chow fun had more beef than noodles. All the food was great, though just a half step below from before the renovations. The prices have gone up a bit, but that’s not a surprise. It’s definitely worth a visit!

    This is where Chuan La Gardens was, newly remodeled and called A Gourmet, many of same menu items. Food was great, think the spice level got toned down a little, I did not mind the heat. Recommend going with a group of people and ordering a bunch of dishes and sharing, every thing we ordered was good. Service was exceptionally good. Bit pricey since we ordered lot of food. Good job on the remodel, looks nice.

    Went during soft opening and I have to say I’m pleasantly surprised. The taste of Chinese dishes is authentic and seasoned so well that i couldn’t stop eating. Definitely will come back soon with more friends.

    This spot is another solid option in Orlando if you’re craving Cantonese food, with the bonus of having a few Sichuan dishes mixed into the menu. The menu itself is pretty extensive, so there’s definitely no shortage of choices whether you’re in the mood for something comforting and traditional or want to branch out a little. They also offer dim sum, which is always a nice touch since not every Chinese restaurant in the area does that outside of weekend brunch hours. We decided to go for dinner, and out of everything we tried, the Brisket in Clay Pot stood out as my favorite—it had that rich, slow-cooked flavor and came out piping hot, exactly how a clay pot dish should. Overall, everything we ordered was solid and enjoyable. It may not be the absolute best Cantonese food I’ve had, but it was definitely good, and it adds to the variety and depth of Orlando’s growing food scene.

    Server did an amazing job. We really enjoyed it a lot. She explained culture and authentic story of each dish making it quite an experience. We came on a Thursday lunch they were not too busy. But weekend could be crowd. Everything was great especially swan crisp so delicate. Highly recommended! Beautiful large party tables.
