The story
Kai Kai BBQ & Dumplings brings the taste of New York’s Chinatown to Mills Market in Orlando. This buzzy counter serves fresh, handmade dim sum and authentic Cantonese favorites that have earned a Michelin Recommended nod for 2025–2026.
The kitchen turns out classics made with care: juicy roast duck, crispy pork belly, glossy char siu, and silky beef chow fun with made-from-scratch noodles. The dim sum—filled and folded by hand—is the star, offering a taste of traditional Cantonese technique in every bite.
Part of the Mills Market food hall, Kai Kai keeps things casual and energetic. With both indoor air conditioning and outdoor seating, it works for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner. The space is wheelchair accessible, and parking is available on-site.
The Michelin Recommended distinction reflects the consistent quality of the cooking. It’s a spot that doesn’t try to be anything other than what it is: excellent Cantonese and dim sum, served without pretense.
