Chan’s Chinese Cuisine

Written By Scott Joseph On December 20, 2016

With Christmas just a few days away, I know that a lot of people have images of one thing dancing in their heads. That’s right, Chinese food.

It’s a thing, especially in big cities. That’s because while most restaurants are closed on December 25, Chinese restaurants are more likely to be open. So people looking for a place to dine on that day just naturally gravitate to Chinese restaurants. I know many people who consider it their Christmas tradition.

You’ll find several Chinese restaurants in Orlando that will be open on Christmas Day, including Chan’s Chinese Cuisine on Colonial Drive in Orlando, which I had the pleasure of revisiting recently.

I was in a party of seven, so we were seated at one of the large round table with a lazy susan in the center. The turntable was soon filled with myriad dishes and we kept it whirling as we sampled a little bit of everything and returned for a lot more of our favorites.

Peking Duck, served with bao buns, was one of my favorites. But I also liked the Pepper Beef and the Salt and Pepper Shrimp and Scallops, so beautifully fried.

There was also an elaborate presentation of Sauteed Lobster, wokked with vegetables. And Egg drop Soup, and pan-fried noodles, and chicken with peanuts and, and, and. Such a feast.

Plus a mango custard to finish.

All served by Chan’s staff, who are always gracious.

So if you’re looking for a Christmas Day Chinese feast, I’m happy to recommend Chan’s.

Chan’s Chinese Cuisine is at 1901 E. Colonial Drive, Orlando. It does not have a website. The phone number is 407-896-0093.
