Finally tried it for the first time and it wasn't a win for us…read more It's so loud inside and out and my bf is hard of hearing from the military so we couldn't really talk. It took 30 min for our food to come out (which would be fine if we knew but I thought it was fast casual). That said, all the food was served nice and hot. When his Plain Jane came out it was missing the coleslaw. My mom's brisket sandwich had a very burnt end. My pulled pork was good but having a warm salad was strange to me. But most of all, I didn't like the staff wearing the same gloves to buss tables, serve food and roll silverware. Yuck. We did enjoy the street corn and fortune cookie. It's nice that it is dog friendly.

They have…read moremultiple different meats available, but it is all on a first come first serve basis so often they do sell out or run out of items throughout the day. They did still have the giant beef rib when we arrived. But at $36 a rib, we opted to go with the pork ribs instead. Each of the general protein servings is a half pound. So we ended up with a portion of the pork rib, the pulled pork and the pork belly. The pork ribs was really good, although my husband didn't like the glaze that they had on the rib but the meat was delicious. The pulled pork was very good not fatty, which is fantastic. The pork belly is cut into giant chunks. It is very tasty. It does have a decent amount of fat on it. This location also has a variety of sides to choose from. We opted for the collard greens and the mac & cheese. The collard greens were good. They could've been cooked a little bit longer. As some of the pieces were a bit crunchy. The mac & cheese was good although the cheese sauce felt a little gooey and we attributed to that they may use a rue to make their sauce. Overall - we enjoyed the food and would check them out again.

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'd recommend maybe coming on the early side for better seating! Kai Kai was our main focus for this visit, so we tried a little of everything! Dumpling and soup dumplings were good, but the soup dumplings had great flavor and really stood out! Fried rice was a great staple, and the ribs were well liked by the group. My favorite was the beef chow fun - the flavor was awesome on the beef and noodles! My only note is that for the price point, I'd love to have seen a bit more beef in the entree, but I'd still return just for this dish!

The walk inside transports you to a vintage world that is now lost in the past. Very cool and nostalgic feeling. Staff are super nice and work together as a team to get the orders out to the customers. A little bit of a wait but it is worth it, trust me! Satisfaction filled me with a blissful warm belly. They serve you enough that you can finish but you will leave content not stuffed to the point where you just can't move or breath. Can't wait to return for a second round of tender juicy meats with amazing sides to accompany the main dishes.

Out front they have Michelin 2026 on their sign. They're now a sit down restaurant inside of with a vinyl DJ playing jazz. The food is still good, but the atmosphere is a horrible mismatch. I can't even get my own refill of iced tea you have to have your waitress take your plastic cup while you hold your straw to get a refill. I was told to wait at the bar to place an order. Then I stood there for two minutes before being asked if I wanted a menu. Then I waited to place an order. The bartender informed me that he has to make a couple drinks before he can get to my iced tea ( self service wouldn't have this issue) . When I got my to-go iced tea, I had to find my own straw ( once again not an issue with self service). Food was ready to go fast enough. But as I waited the clash of a barbecue place with everyone trying to be upscale when they have anime playing on the TV that you can't hear because they're blaring jazz. The worst part was the cornbread I got was about an inch and a half diameter cupcake. I don't know what they charged me for the cornbread, but it was too much for the Costco free sample size of cornbread I got. I felt like I just ordered the cornbread small plate at an American themed European restaurant. Aside from the cornbread, they do know how to do their food well but they have no direction. Please get rid of the liquor license you only need beer. Get rid of the DJ. Make your cornbread in a pan or a skillet and make it big enough that one hand eating is challenging. This should be an all American barbecue place where it's Fourth of July every day.

My wife & I had the butcher board with Mac and cheese & waffle fries, plus I added on the brisket burnt ends. Everything was perfectly seasoned & tender. Their black pepper BBQ sauce was so good that I put it on everything! Even the pickles & red onions were top notch! The kids also loved their pork sliders & tenders meals. I feel like everything was fairly priced as well. I had to also make sure I acknowledged the whole staff. As a family of 6 (including a newborn), we were pretty frantic trying to get a table & park our 2 strollers on a busy summer night. One server EMILY took the time to not just explain where the stroller parking was outside the restaurant, but went ahead & pushed one of the strollers with me as my wife stayed at our table with our newborn. Plus several other servers were very helpful throughout our meal. The interior was nicely decorated & very clean. Honestly, it was a perfect experience all around! Major kudos to the ownership & management of this establishment! We will be back!!!

This is Oviedo's hidden treasure! The brisket is amazing (seriously - 4 Rivers and Bubbalou's…read moreshould be worried). It just fell apart in your mouth and had such a delicious flavor. I had the smaller bowl (1 meat and 2 sides) and it was enough to feed me for 2 meals. OMG the beans! There were 3 or 4 types of beans in it and it was incredibly hard to not gobble them all down instead of saving some for my hubby to try at home. My friend had the cornbread casserole which she said is her favorite side after the beans (I'm GF so I couldn't have that but I wanted to!). Another friend had the Bbq brisket sandwich with potato salad and she said the potato salad was really tasty. Just so you know - this is a very small restaurant. No inside seating, just picnic tables outside. (Some are shaded.) There is an area outside to wash your hands after eating and you can download their app and order online which gets you $5 off your meal (that's a good deal) but even without a discount, the food is worth every penny and the portions are generous.

It was ready when I pulled up to the lot adjacent to the BBQ restaurant. There is outside seating only and a sink to clean up afterwards. I went in and my food was ready. I opened it and was checking for the extra pickles which were an option in the app. The person who handed me the food said that they had not had pickles in some time because they were having issues with the supplier. Darn. So I decided to eat my pulled pork sandwich at the picnic tables outside. Actually the tables are not that far from the road where cars and trucks whizzed by. I went back and asked for more bbq sauce because I got two small cups of bbq sauce which had about 3 tablespoons of liquid each. Pulled pork always sucks up a lot of sauce. There was plenty of meat and the bun was fresh but overall it would have been perfect with some acid from the pickles. My brisket and rib meal was excellent. I ate it later and I found the southern green beans to be good. I would definitely get this combo again. It came with a drink which is a canned soft drink. It doesn't say on the app but they also have bottled water. Overall I felt this restaurant lived up to all the hype. Check the app for $5 off on your first order. See QR code in the picture.

The front staff remembers us every time we go. I am obsessed with the herbal and spicy hot pot, so I usually have them make it 50/50 mix. The vegetables are fresh and there's a wide selection of meats and seafood. I also like to make my dipping sauce with the garlic sauce blend. My favorite is the Galbi which is seasoned well. Both savory and sweet. Another obsession is the asago dessert which is a tapioca pearls, black beans, fruits and jelly in a sweet coconut milk. I really enjoy going here since it's a good alternative to other AYCE in the surrounding vicinity because of the better quality. I want to see this place get more traffic because it's hidden in the old JoAnn's shopping center next to Aldi. There's plenty of parking in the commercial lot.

The restaurant also offers plenty of room to stay and enjoy your food both indoors and outdoors. It was way too hot so decided to get mine to go. The plate is massive! Lots for chopped brisket and fries. Toast was soggy due to the condensation from the meat so just ok for me. The beans were sweet and smokey, an unexpected treat. The mac & cheese was dry. Didn't care for it. The Brisket - very good. Fell apart. However, I would have preferred it not chopped but sliced instead but still very tasty. And get the sweet BBQ sauce.

The brisket wasn't as juicy as I would've liked. The fries were okay. Wish they were seasoned crinkle cut. The Mac and cheese was downright terrible. Like watered down velveeta. The barbecue sauce was so necessary because otherwise everything else tasted the same. Their sauces were good but again not anything unique. I probably wouldn't return unless I couldn't get bbq elsewhere.
