I especially appreciated the pacing; the food arrived quickly but was staggered correctly, which is essential for a good dim sum experience. ​Highlights: ​Roast Duck: Savory with perfectly crispy skin and creamy fat. ​The Buns: We tried the Sesame Ball, Baked BBQ Pork, Pan-Fried Meat, and Green Tea Custard buns. They were all excellent--soft, fluffy, and balanced without being overly sweet. ​Must-Try: The BBQ Pork and Green Tea Custard buns were the standouts. ​So happy to have this gem nearby. We will definitely be returning!

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.

The…read morerestaurant was quiet, which explains why the food bar was a bit empty and not fully stocked up, but it felt like the quality suffered because of it. Some of the meat looked oxidized from sitting out too long. Fried food was cold. To make matters worse, the service wasn't good. Even with the place being slow, we had to flag our waiter down a couple of times. Usually a reliable spot, but this visit was a definitive average experience.

Finally stopped in here after the place has been opened more than 2 years…read more I loved all of the options for both hot pot and BBQ. It really makes more sense to do both for just a few dollars more. If you go with more than 1 person everyone must order the same thing. Our waiter was very nice and attentive although he was a bit hard to understand at times. We didn't see the meat rolls for the hot pot until the end. The meat freezer is right next to the ice cream, across from the sauces. They close at 11 and were pushing to get us out about 10:30. They don't mess around with the time. Eat and be gone lol I would go back but maybe for lunch next time as a comparison. The price is a bit high at dinner although it is very good and the items seemed to be high quality.

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!

Besides that I really loved the chee cheong fun with xo sauce and the fried shrimp balls. Maybe because we went on a Monday they didn't do the dim sum carts which I love. But then again, the restaurant isn't too big so I feel like they usually don't do the carts. But this is a way to ensure all the food you're getting is fresh though! I do wish the dim sum menu was a little more varied. I feel like a few staples that I normally gravitate towards weren't there. But there was still enough to have a good filling meal.

The food did come out quick however, and funny enough, the appetizer came out last. Skip out on the chicken and garlic appetizer for sure. Our table didn't like it so we sent it back.

In terms of the protein, the beef was good but had some mint pieces in there that were completely off putting. The shrimp was a bit too sweet and the chicken green peppers (not photographed) were decent as well.

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.

They are a bit pricier at $20+ for most, but boy.. they're worth the price tag. We had the lamb (nice, thick pieces - so if you liked the shaved lamb, this isn't that) and the hot oil fish (extremely well done, very similar to one of my favorite restaurants in the northeast that I haven't been able to find down here). We also got a veggie dish that was good as well. I'm definitely coming back to try out different dishes, especially with more clay pots.

The order is very straightforward with the tablet and send to kitchen. The first appetizer was came out without much of wait. We got the Hunan style stinky tofu. They are different than Taiwanese style. The tofu is black and fried and top with chili sauce. It is interesting dish. We got the green pepper boiled fish sauerkraut noodles. The fish is good but the entire dish is ruin due to high concentrations of salt. It is difficult to east. The fish itself is also marinated with salt. Soup base is salty. This not good for high blood pressure patients. Even that I am normal person, I could not take it either. We left half of the bowl not touch.

If you've never…read morehad Sichuan food, you might be surprised at the intense sour, spicy, and numbing flavors of their signature soups but if you are familiar I think this will fit the bill. We came on a Friday evening and were effectively the only people in the restaurant. You order on a tablet at the table, which I will say was a little grimy. They were out of many of the menu options and the only fish option was Sea Bass, which is fine but did push the price up. The space itself was very modern and clean except for the aforementioned ordering tablet. The restaurant is in a strip mall that has plenty of parking. We ordered a small Laotan and a Golden soup which come with a side of vermicelli or rice. The portion size is massive, which was great. It's a bowl of pure fish and veggies as the noodle is on the side and is plenty for two people to share with an appetizer or other dish. The soups themselves are incredibly flavorful. Sour, salty, spicy. There are a ton of chilis and peppercorns piled on top of the soup - be warned that you shouldn't eat these and if you're not careful they can easily take over the dish. This happened to my dining partner and if I went back I would request fewer, or even none. The fish is cut in a way that makes for a very satisfying bite and is very flakey and absorbs the soup flavor very well. The service here was interesting. Despite being the only customers in the restaurant, we were acknowledged a total of two times - once when we arrived and once when the food arrived and then never again. Overall, Boiled Fish has food and flavors that were totally new to me that made for a fun experience. The portion was huge and the flavors unique. If you go in ready for novel flavors and experience you will enjoy your time.
