This place in the new-ish Mills Market on 50 had the longest line at 11a on a Saturday and it just got busier and busier. They were still stocking the hanging meats but they looked more and more delicious. We weren't super hungry so a few samples were ordered. The bao buns were delicious and the spicy chicken dumplings had that Szechuan kick to them which was amazing. I think the "hot bar" is managed by them as well. There are a few choices at this location, but this one seemed like the most popular. I'd love to try those bright red ribs next time!!!! Yum! read more

Having to pick only a couple of things to try was so hard. Everything looked so delicious. We ordered the Siu Mai, Young Chow Fried Rice, Pork Dumplings, and the Spicy Sichuan Wings. Everything was so good, and I need to go back for more. It's inside Mills Market and I highly recommend it! read more

On the tour of Mills market we were able to also make a pit stop here for a to go order. Looking around the dining area and seeing the boxes of food people were ordering was enticing. The noodles looked great so I was happy when we split a noodle and pick 2 meat/rice box. The noodles were good. I ordered the soy sauce chicken and honey BBQ char siu pork which came with steamed rice and bok choy. I would advise against ordering anything on a bone. They slice the chicken leg quarter right through the bone (with what has to be a very sharp knife) which leaves bone fragments you'll have to pick out while you're just trying to enjoy the meal. I think that was the most bothersome aspect. The spicy dumplings weren't my favorite, the spicy sauce reminded me of enchilada sauce. The section of rice without bones was better and the BBQ sauce they use is tasty, but I'm not sure it outweighs the inconvenience of trying to find a way to dispose of bone fragments. read more

This place was soooo good ! I was so excited to go to mills market because it's usually so hard for me to find Asian food in Orlando! The fried rice and the wings tasted so authentic and the dumplings are amazing I can't even stress to you enough! This was really the only menu that spoke to me at mills market. Try it! The service is good and quick and they are nice! Also it's like a cafeteria setting- you walk in and there's multiple little restaurants (counter service) and then you order and pay and sit (find a table) they play music and there's a little jewelry shop inside too. Also a little tiny Asian grocery as well read more

Located in the Mills market this is a great option inside the food hall. I had the shrimp and pork dumplings and both were delicious. They certainly do not skimp on the protein, and the flavor was excellent. The staff was friendly and helpful while ordering and my number was called shortly And there was ample seating available when I was there. read more

I've been here twice and both times the food was really delicious. I tried the honey bbq chicken rice box and the chicken was very well seasoned! The order is super repeatable and I would definitely get this again at another point in time. The second time I got the sichuan wings and omg what a tasty masterpiece. I loved the spice level and crunch of the wings. I ordered it with a side of white rice and I loved it! The atmosphere is super cute. It gave me adult food court vibes. There were drinks and desserts and everything was so aesthetically pleasing. I also like how this place is so hidden. It feels like a secret! I found out about this place on Insta! read more

We came for dinner on a busy Saturday night, and while it was crowded, navigating through the space was pretty easy. We decided to go with the honey BBQ chicken rice box ($9.95) with a fried rice upgrade ($5), chicken dumplings ($7.95), and honey BBQ pork baos ($6.95). The rice box was tasty, but the chicken is bone-in (which isn't mentioned on the menu) so it was hard to eat as a bowl with a fork and knife. I personally prefer boneless and would not get that again. The fried rice was outstanding though- definitely a must-try. The chicken dumplings were also really tasty, and the baos? Those were my favorite. I highly recommend getting them! I honestly give them the 5 start for only the appetizers and fried rice! Service was friendly, and our food came out quickly. If you're planning to eat inside the market, seating can be a bit limited, with most options being standing tables. Next time, I'll probably opt for a to-go order to make things easier. Kai Kai BBQ is a good, authentic spot that I'll definitely try again. read more

Kai Kai BBQ - Cantonese Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Lots to love, but a bit inconsistent. I've had Kai Kai several times -- once before they had a physical location while at a food festival and several times at their Mills Market location. Overall, I think Kai Kai has room for improvement, but I liked several of their dishes! First off, their homemade rice noodles are amazing. When you're able to get them, the texture is perfect, chewy, and has the perfect bite. However, it's a labor-intensive dish, so they tend to run out quickly and I'm not able to get my fix every time. There was one time where the Beef Chow Fun was a little salty, but it was just that one time. I also really enjoyed their whole Soy Sauce Chicken and their Singapore Rice Noodles! The value of the Soy Sauce Chicken can't be beat! It's huge and cooked perfectly every time. The only thing that I have mixed feelings about with Kai Kai is their roast duck. I LOVE roast duck, but I don't think I'd get it here. It's a staple in Cantonese-style cuisine, but I find that their ducks are why too boney and the skin isn't as crispy as I'd like. I think I'd prefer to get a duck at Tasty Wok across the street. Service is efficient and friendly! They're always super nice and give us extra chili oil when we ask. It does take a little while for food to come out, but they make the dim sum and noodle dishes fresh! We usually wait for about 10-15 minutes for our food -- this isn't the place to go if you're looking for food that's ready to go under a warmer. Overall, I'd recommend them as a chill lunch or hangout spot, especially if you're checking out some of the other places nearby too. read more

This spot is one of the many restaurants located inside of the Mills Market located off of Mills and Colonial Dr. that replaced the previous Asian market there. There were so many places to choose from but I decided to start with Kai Kai BBQ! There was a bit of a line but the person up at the register was quick to get through the line! I ordered the pork Bao and the duck Bao to go since I had to run back to work and then I also ordered the mango drink with pulp which was SO good! The buns themselves were okay but nothing super impressive. I had a hard time peeling the paper off the bottom of the buns themselves when it was time to eat, but they might've stuck in transit from the restaurant to my office. It might be something that's better enjoyed fresh and in the moment so perhaps next time I'll make sure I'll have time to stay and eat. Kai Kai has a decent sized menu so I'd like to try some of their noodles or rice boxes next time! read more

I've seen so much about this place on social media. I was very much excited to try this place especially since how much they boast about their crispy skin on their food. Sadly, I was left unimpressed and pretty disappointed by the meal. I did come here with another Yelp friend whose experience was much better than mine but I was surprised at the stark difference of quality in food. I got the soy chicken was to be frank tasted awful. It was flavored but pretty bland and cut in an awkward way so I was struggling to eat it somewhat gracefully (and not like a baby's first time with utensils). It was full of bones and impossible to enjoy. The rice was a plain as possible. I was shocked at how plain this rice was. The boy choy was nice but like everything else missing seasoning. There was some sort of oyster sauce mixed with soy sauce which was the only way I was able to enjoy the food. The only reason this gets three stars is because my friend who got a duck fried rice and their cucumber salad. The duck fried rice was out of this world. It was a top tier fried rice and full of mouthwatering flavors. I was definitely regretting my safe dish. I also don't eat pork so I was limited on my options. The cucumber salad was fresh, crunch and so so good. They definitely have good options here and the duck fried rice is it! But when you get a not so good option, it definitely falls flat sadly. Like all my reviews as I don't live near this area, I do consider is this worth the drive. If I was in a fried rice mood and had time to spare, yes absolutely. But otherwise coming specifically to Kai Kai, would not be a drive I recommend if you are out of Orlando as you can definitely find other spots with similar concepts most likely closer to you. But I do recommend coming to the Mills Market area as it does have options worth the drive in my opinion. If you have been eyeing coming to Mills Market, definitely make the drive and try ONE thing from here if the line isn't too busy (which I recommend duck fried rice or cucumber salad). read more

Good not great. They're cranking out a lot of classics and some unique items too but flavors weren't to my preference.

One of my favorite spots to get dumplings and cucumber salad. The cucumber salad is fresh and simple and the dumplings are juicy and always filled. I do recommend both! The staff working are always nice and food comes out pretty fast. This place shares the space with other restaurants so there may not always be seating when it gets busy. It is worth stopping by and trying! read more

Mills market is about to be a weekly stop for me!!! What a great new addition. As it was our first time to the market and to Kai Kai we got the 3 protein option rice box to get to try a lot and find out our favorite. All of them were soooo good!!! The pork was definitely a stand out and would have to make this a staple every time we go. Everything was so delicious, fresh, and flavorful with the sauces that came on the side. Also gave so much rice! Ordering was quick and efficient and I can see how they sell out. The dumplings were also sooo good the filling was divine and the crispy outside was fried perfect. I can't wait to come back and try more, next on my list is definitely their hand made noodles! read more

We finally got to visit Kai Kai BBQ & Dumplings located inside the Mills Market! My boyfriend ordered the Honey BBQ Rib Rice Box while I ordered the two meat option and got it with Roast Duck and Char Siu Pork to go. Everything was fresh and delicious even down to the bok choy. I especially love how they add extra sauces on the side to every order. The duck was fatty and the meat super tender, dunk it in some of the sauce and its perfect, and the Pork was flavorful too. Great portion for only $16 a box plus there is a whole bakery area shared in the market so we also got a Taro mochi bun, an Ube cream bun, and a whole loaf of Pandan bread to take home to share. All three were winners! Next time I come I will most likely try some of their dim sum menu and upgrade to the Hainan Garlic Rice as well. Everything is packaged in to go containers even if you are dining inside the food hall. Service was friendly and quick with less than a 10 minute wait for our food even with the space being super busy and crowded. This market space is a fantastic idea and I cant wait to come back and try some more Kai Kai! read more

The line took 35 to order but the cashier was very friendly. The chicken dumplings were really yummy, I would order that again. We ordered both flavor of wings and the shesuan was not spicy at all.

Stopped by to grab quick dinner. My son was getting unigirl and I decided to do Kai Kai. I choose the fried pork and soy sauce chicken and rice. The food was good. Came with 2 sauces and some bok choy. I think the quantity is small for the price. I'm just use to eating these simple basic Chinese dishes up north that are inexpensive. I would say you're paying for quality. With a tip this was roughly $19. The food is definitely cleaner than the Asian markets though, just more $. read more

This was BUSSIN. Got me wanting me to marry the damn crispy pork. And the bbq pork although I wish they put the sauce on it instead of the side. But nevertheless, definitely gonna visit again in the future‍ but I will say I wasn't a fan of the dumplings. I've tried crispier and juicier and just better overall. read more

I love getting rice boxes here! Comes with a protein, rice and bok choy -- making it a well rounded plate. I tried the bbq char siu and roasted duck and really enjoyed both of them. The wait can take a while but the staff is fantastic and it's nice to be able to watch them prepare your food with the open kitchen. Parking can be a bit difficult to snag but once you get it, Kai Kai and other places in Mills Market are definitely worth a visit. read more

Just like the rest of Orlando, I had to see if the Kai Kai hype is real or not. And sadly for us it was 'ehh'. At least the food. It was good, don't get me wrong. Just not one hour standing in line waiting good. We tried a bit of everything; crispy pork, beef chow fun, honey bbq chicken, and dumplings. I was a bit bummed they were out of the pan fried dumplings. Out of everything we tried, we enjoyed the dumplings and beef chow fun the most. And the skin on the crispy pork. For obvious reasons. The staff themselves on the other hand deserve five stars alone. It is family run with everything made from scratch. Having an open kitchen allows us guests with an inside look into their operation, which I always find cool. Be prepared to wait. And pending on the day and time you visit, prepare to wait quite a bit. We waited over one hour but also visited around 1pm on a Saturday. Don't make the same mistake we did. Which also won't help your chances of snagging parking either. Kai Kai deserves to be tried at least once, at the least. read more

This place was packed when we went, and the food was great, so that explains it. Absolutely amazing dumpling platter!

Numerous food spots under one roof. We enjoyed the dishes from @KaiKai BBq. Excellent flavors!! Friendly service and very helpful. Plenty of trained folks working the counter. Food hall was very cleaned with folks working the floor to ensure all was cleaned. A great Asian vibe. Grab N Go of assorted sweets along the wall. With a wall of cold beverages. The key of the experience is to arrive before the rush. Check out the photo below of the dishes we enjoyed. A must try. This restaurant does it right. Support local businesses. read more

Kai Kai BBQ - Top dish - Roasted pork belly and crispy duck. Very good!! Bottom dish - Char Sui pork and chicken combo. Both dishes very good!! - Cantonese Near Me - Orlando, Florida

A rare five-star rating from me, but well deserved for this gem of an Asian cuisine food stall within Mills Market. Savory duck baos and the crispy pork meal was hot, delicious and reasonably priced especially for American portions sizes. The Siu Mai was next level packed with meaty goodness and sauce served with it was more like a hoisin rather than a typical soy sauce. The menu was varied with something for everyone including vegetarians. Note that Mills Market is a food court style place, so sit down seating is limited and first-come, first-served. There's several high tops to stand and enjoy a bite from several vendors, or you can enjoy taking it home with you. In many case, it's a must try! read more

Returned for the 3rd time this year. Food was excellent, juicy, flavorful. Food was room temperature, not hot but warm - ready to eat. Although the food is great I still think it's a little expensive for a plastic to go container and plastic utensils. If this was a stand alone sit down restaurant I think it would be more acceptable to my wallet. lol.... My cost today was $27 for LUNCH. A little high. $19.50 meal $1.85 can soda $5 tip + tax = $27 Late lunch vibe, food hall was steady, pretty warm inside that it became a little too hot for me personally. On the plus side, I ate one small serving and was able to pack up my container and go. I guess that's a plus... I'll return as good is really good. Next time going to try something different to explore the menu more. If you haven't gone, it's worth the experience at least to try once. 3 Meat platter, BBQ Pork, BBQ Chicken, Roasted Duck, Bok Choy, White Rice read more

Came to Orlando for vacation and found the Michelin guide Mills Market. We decided to try Kai Kai and we were glad we did! We ordered the bbq bento with duck, bbq pork and roast pork. The bbq pork was delicious and probably one of the best bbq pork I've ever had in the US - flavorful and very soft. The duck and roast pork were good too. We will definitely go back if we are in the area again! The line is long but it's worth the wait. The food comes out pretty quick after ordering. read more

I can't really recommend to here unfortunately. The menu looks so delicious and classic, but it was a bit disappointing. I got the soy chicken and pork, and both were room temperature. The pork tasted ok but was chewy, and the chicken was quite greasy but also lacked flavor. The chive dip saved the bland chicken if the skin were able to retain a crispy texture it would've been much better. Overall I wouldn't recommend even to try as there's much better versions of meat and rice elsewhere ): read more

My sister and I got the pork fried rice and the beef chow fun and they were delicious. Would totally order from here again.

I stumbled across this spot while exploring Unigirl, and I'm glad I did! This place is a hidden gem--it truly feels like stepping into an oriental marketplace, full of energy and flavor. Be warned: seating and parking are both very limited, so I opted to order my food to go. It's a fast-paced environment, likely because it's always busy, which is a good sign when it comes to food quality. I tried the Honey BBQ Pork Bao, the Turnip Cake (which, by the way, is delicious--I'd come back just for that), and the Singapore Rice Noodles. The noodles were just okay--I've had better--but they were still satisfying. Overall, it's a fun place to try out, especially if you're into dim sum or want to sample a variety of small dishes. Just keep in mind that prices can add up quickly since it's more of a dim sum-style setup. If you're on a tight budget, you might want to stick with one entrée. read more

So my social media has been bombarded by recommendations for this place and I finally stopped in. A good test of these types of spots is their roast pork. Being Cantonese and from New York, I'm pretty judgmental about Cantonese/Hong Kong food, the crispy roast pork here is probably the worst I've ever had. It's salty and the skin is poorly prepared. Definitely will not be returning. read more

The food is very delicious and authentic! Some of the dim sum prices are a little high and same with the noodles, but everything is tasty. The best deal are the meats, everything is flavorful and it's great amount for sharing. Come early so they don't run out of meats to buy which is a mistake we made on our first visit. The seating is limited so come early, around opening to get some seats. read more
