One of the most unique places to open this year, and of course it’s in the Mills district, by the same people who have brought us classic hits like Okonomi, Zaru, and a handful of Michelin accolades. I visited the grand opening of UniMart, which is like a boutique version of the classic Japanese 7-Eleven….
Laotian food is not something we have a lot of in Orlando. To my knowledge we only have two dining establishments that serve Lao inspired food, this place and Mae Tao and Sons. If you’ve browsed my blog at all you know I eat mostly Asian cuisine, so having a place that caters to the…
I don’t think I’ve ever intentionally looked in the ICON Park area of Orlando for food options, mostly because everything around there is a chain. But with the opening of Nomikai, this is the first time something in that area actually caught my eye. Atmosphere & Mood The mood and atmosphere here is odd. The…
Burgers are something I really like but often just make at home, especially since getting a flat top grill, which has turned me into a home line cook in the sweltering Florida sun. But sometimes a restaurant burger hits differently because I would assume they have a more streamlined process and better beef than me…
Second attempt and first success at getting to the Filipino Saturday-only bakery, Kapé Kaya. I’ve been wanting to come here for quite some time, but as a dad to a toddler my weekends are more like extra long workdays.

I enjoy fine dining but don’t do it as much as I used to since it’s an expensive hobby, and life just happened where we don’t have as much time to sit around for hours waiting dish by dish through a prix fixe. But I was browsing for anything new in the Orlando food scene…
These are the two sushi spots in the Mills area with cult followings. They’re both good, but which one you should choose highly depends on what kind of sushi experience you want. Here’s a full breakdown of each place and which kind of sushi diner it caters to.
YH Seafood Clubhouse was my all-time favorite place for dim sum in the Orlando area. Yes, it was much pricier than the other options in the city, but the quality and environment justified the premium. But after my latest visit I just have four words: what the hell happened? YH was never the most consistent…
