Great place!! Fast service. The food is amazing. Everything we had was so good. I highly recommend this restaurant and the food truck as well. I had the fried red snapper and it was fresh and very flavorful. My mom had the seafood soup and it was incredible. My kids had the grilled chicken and fried chicken and they were very happy. We will definitely eat at the Chimiking restaurant next time we visit Orlando. The food truck is great for those late nights. We tried the chicken Chimi and the fried chicken. read more

Don't expect great service as if it's fine dining. Wait to be seated and do your best to get the waitresses to notice you. They are nice just super busy. However food is worth the wait. Happy we found this local place. Get the fried chicken! By far my favorite out of all the items we ordered. Very tasty and definitely hits the spot for fried cravings. Don't know what they put in the chimuchurri sauce but I loved the contrast of the sour taste with everything! I am addicted and need to know their recipe. Can do without the plaintain, they were a bit flavorless, I've had better at other places. Ordered mini churri as appetizer. Yum! Roast pork could be less dry but perfect with the rice and beans. My second favorite. Surf and turf was definitely a looker and enjoyable but I found it not as filling. The bisque paired well with the shrimp. Beware the passion fruit and other drinks are extremely sweet. We diluted between two glasses of water and it was still very flavorful. Check in and get a free dessert. Yes! read more

Such good food!! The portions are pretty big but you'll probably end up finishing it because it's so good. But be aware, they take a while to get your food to you! But it's worth the wait. read more

This place definitely has the roots for amazing potential. The main issue I had with this restaurant is the fact that two menu items were not on the menu that I had requested. The restaurant is new to the location, so it was a little disappointing to know that what was being advertised was not available. On the other hand the food was filled with lots of flavor, and super tasty. I ordered the Shrimp Mofongo, which is smashed plantains with a combination of garlic butter sauce, topped with shrimp. This particular dish was out of this world. In fact I solely came for this particular dish based on my fellow Yelper's reviews. Please note make sure you check in because you might see a bonus coupon for free dessert. For dessert I ordered the Coconut Flan. Flan and Coconut you simply can't go wrong. I will be back considering the prices were reasonable, the portion sizes were extremely filling, and the food was scrumptious. Hopefully the little quirks with missing menu items will work itself out. read more

I would give zero stars because we were not able to sit down and eat because the only two tables were reserved for parties. I hope I'm contacted by the owner to rectify the situation. This was my favorite place for my fungo and soup now I'm utterly disappointed. As stated by owner there was no screaming at staff. What there was was poor service and lack of customer service. read more

I was on my way to Jersey Mike's and saw this place. After looking it up on yelp and seeing the great reviews I had to try it. Their menu has tons of pictures which I love and everything looked so good. There was one picture however from another yelper that showed the Cuban sandwich and looked way too good to pass up. I ordered it to go and waited no longer than 15 minutes. Super excited it smelled so good in my car I had to pull over and eat it right away lol loved the fact that the bread wasn't your typical pressed Cuban bread. The pork was a little on the dry side but the bread and condiments really brought everything together. Would definitely recommend the Cuban even though this is a Dominican spot. Will be back to try other things on their menu! read more

Found this spot on Yelp and decided to give it a try. It was delicious! My partner and I are both part Dominican and we thoroughly enjoyed everything! I had the bistec encebollado with mofongo which comes with a salad and he got pernil with white rice and red beans so delicious! Nothing left on plates! The service was great, the wait staff was very kind and friendly. read more

After a long while wait for the place to open, ChimiKing on Conroy finally opened! For anyone who doesn't know, this place is Dominican & absolutely delicious! My first time I was a bit nervous because I can't eat really salty foods & alas! They make it light & you can add your own! :) Leodela (Leo for short) was my server. She's sweet, attentive, & super cute! Churrasco / skirt steak, $17.95: the meat was so juicy & tender. It came with rice & a very generous amount of beans. Again, rice wasn't salty, it was just right! My sister got the pollo frito /fried chicken, 10.95: came w/ white rice & it was crispy on the outside & juicy on the inside. My sister couldn't stop eating! I tried the morir soñando, a Dominican drink that has orange, lemon, & milk. Good & refreshing! BEST FRENCH FRIES IN ALL OF ORLANDO! I feel like they are in the back peeling the potatoes in the back. They come super fresh, hardly any oil seen, crispy, golden... just the best ever! Tip: when you order fries or tostones / fried plantain or fries- ask them to bring them out as soon as they are done cooking. They usually wait until all the other food is cooked to bring it out with your table but then you miss out on the super fresh-ness of them. read more

We were told our 2 chimis would be ready in 45 minutes. At around the 45 minute mark I checked and was told that we'd be given a call when they're ready. After an hour, my girlfriend and I both reentered the restaurant. She went to the bathroom. I was handed the food we were awaiting and asked to wait outside for her to come out of the bathroom. 1 hour waiting in the car. Didn't get a call when it was done. Couldn't get 2 minutes standing inside after being handed cold food. Won't be back. read more

Wow!! Put in an order through Ubereats, a total of 3 drivers tried picking up the food and the restaurant cancels the order and hour later!!! I tried calling and nobody answered. Update your hours if you're it open at 11am like you claim to be. read more

I walked in and they spoke only Spanish, it reminded me of the 305. Anyhow, I'm fluent in food in various languages, so I had no problems. I ordered some empanada's, I thought they'd be quick and already made. They actually made them fresh. I was in a rush and sad that I had to wait. However, it was worth the wait. It was very delicious and just more proof that you can find awesome food here in Orlando. Try it out, my food was very tasty and flavorful. They told me there was a $5 minimum credit card charge, so head up on that. The only reason it was an issue, was because the prices are so reasonable. Definitely check this place out! read more

Chimiking Restaurant - Bistec encebollada - Latin American Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This is the spot, the ambiance was cool, the staff was great and the food was abundant. There was plenty of parking to beat. I had pork chops with rice and beans and added some mofongo, Boy was it tasty. My friend had seafood rice and a side of fries. We left there stuffed (and boy I can eat), but I wasn't able to finish it all and had to take some home. I was mesmerized by the amount of food and its taste that I forgot to take pictures of our order, so I guess I will have to go back in order to do so :) I Will recommend this place to all my friends. read more

Ordered delivery and everything was delicious! The meat was perfectly seasoned and there empanadas were amazing. Loved the little thank you note they attached to the order, very nice touch. Definitely recommend trying this place. read more

First time trying Dominican Food and was a very pleasant adventure! The Star dish is: "Shrimp Mofongo", which is a decent size portion of Pan Fried Shrimp over generous Garlic Creole Sauce and served in a cute Fried Mashed Plantain - Pork rinds Basket. A side of Salad is included with a choice of Dressing. Unlock Yelp and get a Free Caribbean Dessert of your choice! Telemundo TV Star Adamaris Lopez was also having Dinner there...That was a Plus! She was so Down to Earth! Top-Notch Service is provided by the young servers. Each one of them stopped at my Table with a big smile! read more

The ratings that this location has does not represent the quality of the service and the quality of the food that they provide. It was outstanding , the food super on time and warm and the flavor on point. The food was so fast that we had to take food home because we had appetizers and a little time after the appetizers arrived the food did too so be aware of that Muy buen restaurante, la comida excelente y el servicio tambien read more

We usually had good results eating here but our last experience was the worst yet. The rice was mushy, beans and steak were extremely salty. It's not that difficult to cook Latin food. They really need to step up their game before they go out of business. read more

The food was amazing we had ordered pork chops with rice and beans and sweet plantains the food was well prepared the service was great the restaurant was very clean even the bathrooms were very clean everyone wears masks when they come in and the servers wear gloves there is a sanitize station in the front this is one of my favorite restaurants!!! read more

The pictures pulled me in to this place. The food looks good and is presented very well. The staff was also very great. The food on the other hand... ehh. Seems like the kitchen is improvised cooking instead of a documented step by step. It amazes ne how many Dominican places serve a steak with just a little too much vinegar and no pepper or oregano to be seen. Anyways, this is no Mofongo House NY or Merengue in Boston. Food is ok, just adjust your expectations. read more

The food here was absolutely terrible. It took them 2 hours and I'm not exaggerating here when I say 2 hours to bring my food. Once the food was there I had the "steak and onion" it tasted terrible, the meat was clearly old and smelled awful. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone wanting to eat good food. read more

Place was nice and clean.loved the decor. Food was ok but i dont consider it to have an authentic Colombian style cooking..also service was a little slow.. read more

Food was good. I tried the ribs with parchita, the restaurant wasn't crowded at all and we were a table of 6. 5 of us hispanic and 1 white. I always want to bring the white community to hispanic restaurants to support ourselves. There are two things that the customers must not ask in a restaurant, otherwise is considered a bad service: napkins and water. We had to ask for both. After 10 minutes we asked for water... then we made our order and they forgot our drinks. We ordered 3 different types of empanadas and the waitress didn't know which was which so We had to open them all to know. All of these can happen but at least we expected an apology for all the inconveniences. If the restaurant improve their customer service they will have more happier customers for sure! read more

Great food but waitress for online order was rude and condescending. Makes you feel bad for extra sauce.

Food was fantastic, it took me back to the Dominican Republic, I've been to many Dominican restaurants but this one gives me that Dominican vibes. I love it and I'm looking forward to going back. read more

I loved this restaurant! The server Constanza V. provided an excellent customer service and took the whole experience to another level. She was very efficient in taking the order and assisting me with additional requests in a timely manner. My first time in this restaurant, and the impression was so good that it will be recommended to my friends and family in the future. Constanza also complied with all the safety precautions and maintained an appropriate distance to encourage social distancing and reinforcing COVID new procedures. 100% recommend her! :) read more

What a horrible customer service experience! I ordered a Chimi however I did not want French fries with it and asked if I can substitute for plantains or monfongo. The waitress said she will check with the manager then came back and said No. I asked the manager to come to the table and her explanation was that the portion of fries is not equivalent to anything else so they cannot substitute it! I asked "even for a scoop of rice"? She said we only have specific portions for everything and can't change ( as if to throw off all of her inventory). However when you look on the menu all the sides are the SAME PRICE including the French Fries! She didn't even offer to substitute at an up charge! This was the poorest management and customer service experience in my LIFE!!! The food was good after we got our meal 1.5hrs after we arrived!!! I am floored at the lack of skill in BASIC CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!! read more

we went for lunch at the conroy location and it was a big disappointment. We ordered skirt steak with mofongo and the mofongo was cold! Ordered rice and red beans and beans were watered down with no beans, the servers were like what's wrong. They were a joke. Anyone that goes for a Latin meal knows it would be hot and just like mom made it. The cook must've called out. At least recognize the error and compensate for it. They were useless! read more

The reason why I gave this place one star was because of the service. Food was great!!!! Don't come here for the ambiance. One waitress and it took her forever to take the order, bring the order and then ask at the end if you wanted coffee. I believe there was at least 20minutes in between every time she came. But for $6.99 for a lunch special I can't complain. If you come here make sure you have plenty of time to waste. read more

I came today to their recent location in Winderemere, and let me tell you it didn't disappoint. As an appetizer I ordered the "Quipe" is made with ground beef and wheat which is amazing, I totally recommend it. They do offer a selection of beer and wine, is friday so I went with a beer. I also ordered the Skirt steak Mofongo and boy oh boy this item was delicious. Something about the plantains with the steak that makes it taste much better. I will definitely be coming to their new location more often! Service and food was superb. read more

Came here after a day at Universal. Best food ever! You have to try the mofongo with shrimp. I had it with the creole sauce, my daughter had the garlic. They were both fantastic! My husband had the kabob, my son had the garlic shrimp with fried plantain, my other daughter had the chicken. The people there are very nice and helpful. The passion fruit juice was great also. I got the cheese flan that tastes like cheesecake. This place is a must if you want tasty food at great prices with quick service, and you don't like amusement park food like my family. read more

My husband and I tried Chimiking in Windermere for the first time Sunday night. Our waitress, Mariana, was very nice and helpful. My husband ordered a "morir soñando" as his drink, and a "Yaroa Dominicana" as his entree. I ordered a Postobon de Manzana" and the "toston slider" for myself and the "tostones rellenos de pollo al ajillo" to share with him. Everything was absolutely delicious! The only issue is that online it said the restaurant would close at midnight, but when I called to double check I was told they close at 10 PM on Sundays. (I reported the necessary change to Google, and it's been updated.) We were driving back to Orlando from New Smyrna and wouldn't arrive until 9:30 PM. We were able to order our food in time, but we couldn't take our time enjoying our meal because the employees were closing and cleaning up shortly after we got our food. Other than that, I can't believe it took us this long to go there, but we're glad we finally did. We definitely plan to go back real soon. Oh, and the FREE cheese flan (thanks to YELP) we took to go was super yummy! read more

We came for dinner (party of 6) and I was extremely impressed. This is the best Dominican food I've ever had outside the DR. Every dish was perfectly seasoned and cooked; the fish, mofongo with shrimp, "chicharrones de pollo", everything! The "tostones" crunchy. Mind you it is not easy to find a good mofongo.. Here you can. Good service, very fast considering the food quality.. Nice dish presentation. Overall we were very satisfied with this place. Congratulations to the cooks! They are amazing. (I should have asked to meet them and congratulate them in person!) We highly recommend this place. read more

When entering for the 1st time it's not real clear if you sit and get waited on or if you order at the counter then sit. I'll help you out..... if you planning to eat there, take a seat and they will come to you. Take out go to the counter. I got the shrimp monfongo...it was ok. I won't judge the entire place on this dish as there are a lot of dishes to choose from. read more
