Orlando, FL - Ming Court; When Ming Court is the only dim sum restaurant on the downtown trip, it's a little harder to compare with other places there, but when you compare it to other more traditional dim sum establishments, it's ok.  Like most places in the convention strip row of Orlando, it's touristy in it's presentation outside, inside, and the delivery of food.

In so many dim sum places I've tried, it's always served on a meandering cart and when it arrives, you get to see everything in action. The server opens each little container and with a bit of anticipation, you get to see and hope it's the one you want and waiting to try.  If the one you want isn't on the cart, you can simply place the order with the server, but most things are on the cart.  The cart was completely absent at Ming Court. No chance to see all the options, other than on the menu, which they do a good job of showing pictures of all of them.  But I want it in front of me.  This is why I always over eat at dim sum places because I can't stop myself from choosing dishes from the cart.

I tried three dishes, eggplant shrimp, Chinese broccoli, and soft shell crab. 

The eggplant shrimp was slices of eggplant with shrimp grounded up on top with a soy style reduction sauce.  The eggplant was tender and the shrimp had some flavor, but not enough.  It didn't have that full flavor of dim sum.

The Chinese broccoli was typical fare with predictable flavors. They didn't have their spin on it or create their own rendition.  It seemed typical of standard Chinese broccoli with soy sauce.

Lastly, the soft shell crab was better than the other dishes. It's prepared in a lightly sea salt batter and deep fried.  Don't expect to get a lot of crab flavor though. The pieces of meat are smaller and harder to taste. However, even with that, it's still has a good flavor with the saltiness and just enough heat from the jalapenos slices to compliment the flavor.
