Hot Dumpling replaced the former Good Time Cafe in Lake Forest. It's located in a small center at the corner of Bake Parkway and Trabuco Road, so parking can be hard to come by during peak hours. There is also an El Pollo Loco and an AYCE sushi restaurant located in this same plaza. We've had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant twice at the time of this review. I was not too impressed with the presentation of the Juicy Pork Dumpling and Wuhan Siu Mai, but the taste more than made up for the appearance. The pan-fried pork & chive dumplings were fabulous and I also tried their pan-fried pork buns on my follow-up visit, so I can say that their pan-fried dishes are def worth trying. The green onion pancakes, shrimp & pork wonton in chili oil, pan-fried pork dumplings and chongqing spicy chicken were also solid dishes. The biggest surprise for us was their Mapo Tofu dish which ranks up there with the best we've ever tasted. The only miss was the Spicy Beef Tendon appetizer. Service is friendly and attentive too, so I recommend a visit if you enjoy Chinese cuisine!

This place is so great! The food is delicious, the staff is super friendly. I ordered the juicy pork dumplings and beef noodle soup. I would absolutely recommend both. I’m looking forward to coming back and trying more!

Great place! Fun atmosphere 👍🏻

Great place!!

Great place, excellent food, friendly people. Fried rice is unique and awesome, Momo dumplings are also great. It's like Chinese food but a lot better and less greasy if you need a point of reference. I forgot to take pics of the lovely presentation when the food came out, so I've added some half eaten shots.

So my mom and I tried Tibet Corner today and it was our first time trying Tibetan Food ever. It was absolutely DELICIOUS! As soon as we walked in we were greeted with kind staff and a calming atmosphere! We got all of the teas and mango lassi! My Mom and I’s favorite tea was the ginger milk tea with sugar. We also tried the butter tea and it was very savory (almost like a soup broth; don’t put sugar in this tea) and while it was different than what I was used to, I enjoyed it. We also tried the Beef Momo and took the fried rice and Then-thuk to go! We also tried all of the sauces with the momo and I enjoyed the spicy chili sauce/soy sauce and my mom liked the mint sauce. If you want to know what food it’s similar to, Tibetan Food tastes very similar to Chinese food with Indian influences (which makes sense geographically). It was really cool to experience the beauty of diversity by learning about Tibetan culture from the staff and try delicious dishes. You felt like you were walking into a grandmother’s house and it was extremely comforting! Would 100% recommend and my mom and I will be back! 🤩

Great Chinese Food Take Out Choice. High Food Quality and very nice customer services. Definitely order again soon.

The tea and sandwiches were so good! The staff was very kind, highly recommend. I got the peach tea and pesto chicken.

I love this place so much. The food and desserts are very delicious and my favorite thing to order is the Thai Tea Float. You should definitely try this place at least once!

I love everything about this restaurant. From the ambiance to the food. I come here specifically for the Roast duck noodle soup which is my favorite thing ever. I’m a sucker for soup. They also have the best (and crispiest) chicken wings. I recently tried the chili wontons and they were 12/10 i would definitely get them again. I cant wait to come back here.

Ive been here a few times and had another really positive experience lately. Delicious food, good and fast service. The crispy pork belly is unreal, a must try. I was also pleasantly surprised/reminded that it's very reasonably priced. Will be back.

Found hair and plastic in the Korean beef burrito! On Thursday, 3/20, around 6:05 pm, I grabbed a Korean beef burrito to go after grocery shopping. I didn’t eat it until 7:42 pm. When I finally took a bite, the beef tasted undercooked. I shrugged it off, then bit into something that felt like plastic. The worst part came when I chewed on a tough, inedible piece of hair. I was disgusted and lost all appetite.I immediately called the restaurant. The person who answered said the manager had already left, but they’d take my contact info for follow-up. A woman called me back a few minutes later, confirming my order but repeating that nothing could be done until the manager reached out. By Friday, 3/21, there was no follow-up, so I called again. Another woman assured me the manager would contact me. Now it’s Saturday, 3/22, at 10:35 pm, and I still haven’t heard anything.

This is Mex-Asian fusion. The tables are all outside. This is a fun place to get an excellent meal. The ingredients are fresh, and well prepared. The staff is friendly, helpful, and professional. This is a regular stop when we are in this area of Orlando. If you stop by, you’ll know what I mean.

Our favorite Thai restaurant!! We’ve been coming for yearsss, so often the workers pretty much know our orders🤣 the food is consistently DELICIOUS and prices are decent for the portions! I remember our first time we were a bit weirded out how quiet it can be, but we got used to it and it beats a very loud atmosphere. Definitely recommend!!

Just like a book cover, I've totally misjudged this restaurant. Every time I drive by here, the parking lot just seems so empty, so I didn't think twice about going to eat there when deciding where to go out to eat. Finally swung by, and the place was packed! Well, I might as well try it. I was not disappointed! I got the Brown Curry w/chicken. It had a really good flavor. Actually, it would be the perfect dish to get started eating Curry. The atmosphere was surprisingly large and very authentic looking. Based on price, food, and speedy service, I'd have to say you gotta try this place. NOTE: If this review has helped you in any way, PLEASE like this review so it can be elevated faster for the restaurant to be informed of how well that they are doing! If you have a different experience than I had, I'd love to know about your experience to see where our differences were. Thanks again for reading my review.

We were vacation in Orlando during Chinese New Year 2025 - Snake year. We thought to search for a good Chinese restaurant in Orlando. We were far from home, Vancouver, BC, as we are spoiled with good Chinese restaurant with many options. We had an amazing dinner at Lam's Garden in Orlando, FL. So good! . I am happy I made reservations in advance. The service was fantastic as the staff kept apologizing for the wait of the food as it was really busy evening. When the dishes arrived, it was hot and quite tasty. The decor is typical of traditional, old style, similar to many Chinese restaurants on Kingsway in Vancouver. They old us it was nice to speak with us my hubby can speak Cantonese fluently (not me). Near the end, one of the staff (could be the owner) gave us a complimentary alcohol drink which is super nice of him. It was nice to see the receipt was hand written! Lam's Garden is the oldest Chinese restaurant in Central Florida and we were very lucky to dine at Lam's Garden on one of busiest day in the year.

Nicely decorated dinning room, courteous host, excellent food, came out hot. Had a wonderful experience. Highly recommend. Two menus, the authentic Chinese and an American menu with two selections. Both are excellent. Start your meal with some tea.

I ordered the lunch special, Thai fried rice with beef, and kindly requested basil and Thai hot spice level. Both the fried rice and Thai tea were delightful. I have also previously enjoyed their drunken fried rice, and intend to explore their soup options in the future.

Maybe the first time ever I couldn't eat the pot stickers? Although they looked good and were crispy, filling was yucky with kale, spinach, corn. They bring a red plastic bottle of sauce to the table and woo boy is it awful. Pad see yew sauce was awful. Bringing most of it home to doctor it up. Ordered medium and had zero spice. See photo.

Excellent! Had the best time with my palate enjoying this delightful and amazing food! Service was very attentive and what a great array of food to choose from! All very authentic and all in decent portions! This one needs another trip to explore more tasty options! Prices are reasonable to the portions and exceedingly great flavor! Hidden off the main avenue it's a must try if you love Korean food! Hands down better than most on Colonial!

The food was remarkable, the Waiter was attentive and drinks were great! They have good portioned food. Also, the flavors are amazing and you can choose between spicy or mild. The beer was really good as well, I never had this type before. Definitely recommend coming here! 🍚🍛 😋

This place came highly recommend and we had friends drive an hour and a half and to say we were underwhelm is to be nice. Orders took way to long and the flavor was non existent. Place was not that busy and the location was kind of weird but it works. It was around 3:30pm and they were out of a few items. Will not recommend, might go back to make sure it wasn't a fluke. The kids did not enjoy the food and the pricing does not match the quality.

GREAT FOOD! Large portions, well cooked, tasty. Place was clean, friendly staff, family friendly...did I mention how good the food was?!?! Great experience overall. The only thing I'd change is that we had to go inside the store on the side to order and pay and then pickup the food at the food truck. It's just a little inconvenience easily overshadowed by the rest of the experience. I will definitely be back.
