    I will say I was bit worried about what to expect while walking in. The dinning room was packed and there wasn't a lot of room to sit. I lucked out and got a seat by the entry way. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was definitely delicious as ypu can see in the final photo. All of the sides were delicious. I really enjoyed the japchae and the mandu. It has been a long time since I had japchae like this and I will be back to try some of the soup. Go give this place a try.

    Whenever I'm on a business trip or any trip I always look for Korean food. If I'm traveling somewhere with a smaller Korean community, I don't expect highly authentic flavors. But I knew this place was different the moment I took my first bite of the side dishes (banchan). "Wow, this tastes so authentic!" As I enjoyed my meal, I noticed a Korean grandma cooking in the kitchen, and that explained everything, authentic flavors straight from the source. You simply can't go wrong when the side dishes are this good. The kimchi jjigae was outstanding, and I couldn't resist ordering extra steamed rice to enjoy every last drop.

    Delicious Korean food! Family owned and operated and authentic meals made by the owner.

    My husband and I really enjoy Korean Food and came here last week. We ate the Fried Tofu, Goon Man Doo (Fried Dumplings), Yachae Pa Jun (Pancake), and for entrees the Dolsat Bibimbab and Bulgogi...everything was super flavorful and delicious! The restaurant is family run and they are incredibly kind and hospitable. We will absolutely be back! :)

    Food was good but I have had better Korean food before. The staff were friendly but they were extra friendly with the families. They greeted the families in Korean language,explained them a lot of things. Basically the staff was going extra mile for a table with many people compared to me who was a solo diner. The restaurant is small. The decor is alright. Little pricy but that's expected.

    We love eating at Kimchi, whether we get it to go or eat in person! The food is always excellent. The only sad thing is they took the kimbap off the menu.

    I absolutely love coming here. The experience is so cozy and it feels like you just had a home cooked meal. Great authentic Korean food, please come try it, the staff are so nice and the food is always consistently great.

    Food was delicious. Staff is friendly. Service was quick. Went for lunch. Good value. A lot of food for what you pay. Keep in mind some of it is very spicy. I am not a fan of spicy food so I kept away from the spicier stuff. All in all a very good meal.

    We were looking for a Korean restaurant to warm our tummies on a cold, rainy night in Orlando and found this one. We were quickly seated by the very nice Korean auntie. The restaurant was filled with aromas of kimchi and grilled meat so we know we were in for a treat! I ordered my favorite dish, Jeyuk-Bokkeum, while my partner got the Jjam Bhong. The auntie brought us banchan including kimchi, gochujang cucumbers, and seasoned bean sprouts. They all tasted super fresh and homemade. Bokkeum is stir fry pork dish with kimchi and onions and it was delicious! I love the slight char on the kimchi and the little bit of heat on a chilly night. Jiam Bhong came with noodles and seafood in a spicy broth. It was very flavorful and reminded me of the Korean home cooking my friend's parents used to make. TLDR; wonderful, authentic Korean flavors. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice homecooked meal!

    Finally made it here and it didn't disappoint. I ordered the bulgogi and the spicy pork bulgogi and they were both outstanding, although the spicy pork bulgogi is my favorite. Also ordered the steamed dumplings which were absolutely amazing. The server was very sweet and the restaurant is small but clean.

    Small little strip plaza with 2 Asian restaurants but this is our favorite of the two. Our philipino server was friendly, knowledgeable and took great care of us. The food came out hot, fresh and at an appropriate pace. We'll be back to try some more of their delicious dishes.

    Do they offer bibimpap during lunch?

    You can always order from the dinner menu if you want that for lunch.

You can sit at any of the outdoor tables or grab one of the few indoor tables. Either way, you'll have a comfortable setting. The service is quiet but friendly at Kai. We ordered a variety of items at the counter and had them delivered to the table as they were ready. The absolute best menu offering in my opinion is the noodle dishes. We tried two: drunken noodles and garlic noodles. Both were flavor packed and had no room for improvement. Also, shoutout for generous portions! We also sampled around the other shareable options. Had bao buns and the wings. Both options were tasty but the bao buns were a bit dry. A sauce would have leveled them up big time. The chicken wings were nice and crispy but the sauces could have also used a tad more flavor. Overall notes that the noodle options are a 5/5 and the shared plates are more like a 4/5. Definitely worth a stop if you're visiting the food factory! Everything is served conveniently for dine in or take out depending on your preference!

Overall, the experience was a bit of a mixed bag, leaning toward mediocre for the price point. The Food * The Pork: The highlight of the dish was definitely the grilled pork. It was well-seasoned, flavorful, and cooked well. * The Rice & Fillings: Unfortunately, the balance of the bowl was way off. A massive portion, easily half the bowl, was just plain white rice. To make matters worse, they do not serve traditional Vietnamese fish sauce (nước chấm), leaving a huge mountain of rice completely dry and flavorless. * The Veggies: The pickled daikon and radish were pretty underwhelming and didn't bring that bright, crisp punch you usually expect in a Vietnamese bowl. Value & Atmosphere * Value: At $17.00, a bowl like this is quite high for what you actually get. Paying a premium price for a dish that is 50% plain rice and missing its core sauce feels like a letdown. * Atmosphere: The saving grace of the experience was the setting. The supporting atmosphere of the Food Factory is a massive plus, as it's a great, lively environment to hang out in. Verdict: If you are craving an authentic, well-balanced Vietnamese pork bowl with all the traditional fixings, you might want to look elsewhere. Underwhelming for $17.00, but the vibe of the venue helps save the overall experience.
