The greens were my favorite - seasoned well and perfectly cooked. They used a lot of oil but that's probably one of the reasons why it tasted so good especially with rice. The tofu dish was good too. The group also ordered 3 meat dishes. One of the feedback received was that they were a little too salty for their taste but still tasty. We went on a weekend late afternoon and it wasn't too busy. Food came out quick. Place appeared clean.

Whent with 2 proteins because its so hard to pick. The crispy pork belly was so amazing! Just the right amount of fat and crisp and cooked to perfection. The soy sauce chicken had a very aromatic seasoning light but flavorful. Even the green stuff was great! It came with 2 sauces not needed but good for a little twist to the flavor, one I think was eel sauce (no eel included and the other one tasted mostly like green onions. There was a hefty portion of delicious fried rice (5$ upcharge )under the protein. The rice had a peanut flavor to it, it was light and aromatic, very delicious. Worth the upcharge?... I'll let you decide. Service was fast and friendly place was packed and things moving fast but the staf was personable and attentive and even popped a joke in our short interaction. Like all the other places in Mills Market, Kai Kai has earned a spot in Orlando's food scene. Now the tough part is deciding what to eat next time because it all looks and is soooo good!

I had heard great things about it and hadn't gotten the chance to go until recently. This is mostly because they're located in Windermere, which is a bit aways from most of Orlando. It was chosen as the dinner location for a work dinner for Asian American Heritage Month. May might be over, but Asian food is forever. It's in a very cute location with shops around and ample of parking. They had tables set aside for us and they have a full menu as well as the dim sum menu, which you mark how many of an item you want. Family style dining as is most Asian dining. The interior is super nice and it does feel upscale. They have large tables and some smaller ones but it's not a huge restaurant space. This means the meals feel very cozy and intimate. We got the squid ink shrimp dumplings and regular shrimp dumplings. They were both a 9/10. I will say that squid ink anything does not add to the flavor, just the color of the food. Squid ink is slightly more expensive. The shumai was a 9/10. By the way the dumplings were huge and about 4 pieces per order. We tried the curry fish balls, which essentially is fish balls like the ones you get at hot pot cooked in a yellow curry. It was my first time trying this and I thought it was just ok. This was a 5.5/10. Some ordered beef and broccoli for the table and it was delicious. Definitely a large dish to be shared. That was an 8.5/10. We tried their wonton soup which came with noodles and bok chop. This was an 8/10. The fried shrimp balls were excellent and is a 9/10 for me. Normally, I think they are either too savory or oily. However, these ones had great crips and really well balanced flavor. We tried my favorite dim sum dish, which is the rice rolls with shrimp. This was a 6/10 for me. It just wasn't my favorite one that I have had. We also tried the mango custard bun, which was a 8/10. Overall, I would give them a 8/10. It is a little on the more pensive end for dim sum but the atmosphere is nice and service is pretty good. I love dumplings. I could eat dumplings any day, all day. It truly is one of those things I would have as a part of my last meal on Earth.

We also received complimentary boiled peanuts at the beginning of the meal and taro sweet soup at the end of the meal which were both enjoyable. The decor is modern and elegant with large tables for a big party and booths for smaller groups. It's conveniently located in the large chinatown plaza with ample parking and grocery stores and desert shops to visit during your trip.

This lovely restaurant is located in a large strip shopping center filled with Asian businesses. It's clean and formal-looking inside, but quite welcoming. We were seated immediately and a teapot of flavorful peach-scented tea was delivered. If you bring a group, the larger round tables are set up for sharing dishes. This could be a very fun experience. My husband ordered orange chicken for us to share. He also opted to use a fork. But since we were in a restaurant known for its dumplings, we ordered 2 varieties, fried plus their soup dumplings. I've had fried dumplings before, but never tried a soup dumpling. The orange chicken came with broccoli; my husband requested rice as well. The fried dumplings (with dipping sauce) arrived at the same time, followed by the (steamed) soup dumplings and some shredded ginger. Everything was very tasty. We brought some of it back to the hotel. The menu is extensive, so choosing what to try may be difficult. If you order soup dumplings, prepare yourself for them to burst, especially if you don't grab them from the top and consume them in a single bite. Lesson learned! Next time I'll put mine onto a soup spoon to eat. After the meal, our server brought bowls of coconut milk and boba. It was a very refreshing finish to our meal... at no additional charge. I would love to have this restaurant near to my home, as I have many family members who would appreciate the excellent food and atmosphere.

Oh, then their trứng non (young/fertilized eggs) fills up to their brim, which I haven't seen anywhere also. Love the different bowl sizes as well because we can try to challenge ourselves by upping the size. Will definitely be back for more!

I've tried many different Chinese restaurants in this area and the Clay Pot Kitchen pleasantly surprised by how good everything was. Most dishes were on the spicier side and heavily seasoned which my husband loved. The pig's ear was fresh, crunchy and numbing spiced. Comes in a big portion and lots of peanuts to add extra crunch. The pork belly with garlic sauce was my favorite. So much flavorful minced garlic on top. The poached pork belly slices were nice and thing but good ratio of fat to lean meat. The cumin lamb was a heaping portion and came with lots of thick lamb slices with leaks, jalapeños, chives and onions. Very seasoned and definitely on the spicy side as well. The 肉夹馍 minced pork in a flakey pastry shell was not as seasoned which is my preference but still tender, juicy and rich in flavor. The shell was very crisp and made fresh. The owner is very friendly and will come out to greet guests and check on how his dishes are.

I found myself going back and forth between my daughter's leftover chicken pho and my bun bo Hue because I couldn't decide which I liked more! The chicken pho had generous pieces of chicken with a clean aromatic broth, while the bun bo Hue had a rich, savory broth with just the right amount of spice. One thing that really stood out was the beef. It seems like they tenderize it before serving because every bite was soft and fresh. There's also a good variety of bowl sizes.8 ranging from baby to king bowl. The medium wall was huge for me. I couldn't finish it. Service was very fast and friendly, and everyone receives a complimentary bottle of water, which was a nice touch. The only downside is that the indoor dining room is very small with tables close together. It felt a bit cramped for me, so we chose to sit outside, which was much more comfortable. I also noticed on the menu that they have a second location just down the street, so we'll probably try the larger location next time. Just a heads-up if you're expecting a full Vietnamese menu the focus here is definitely the soups. I didn't notice many appetizers, rice dishes, or other specialties, but when the pho and bun bo Hue are this good, it's easy to see why people come here. This will definitely be one of our regular stops whenever we're in Orlando!
