Sampaguita

5 out of 5 stars, 38 reviews
1233 E. Colonial Drive
”YAY for Filipino ice cream & desserts in Mills 50! Marie & her team have done it once again — Sampaguita is the sister concept to The Greenery Creamery which we all know and love. This new location is absolutely STUNNING (designed by GDP Design Build) with all the pink & green tropical vibes. Yes, Halo Halo is on the menu along with lots of new unique flavors (including dairy-free options), their famous ube brownies, and fun toppings.” — Anna L.

K-BBQ & Bar

4.5 out of 5 stars, 37 reviews
5101 E. Colonial Drive
”I recommend this place for Korean BBQ. I've eaten Kbbq all over the world and in South Korea and this place is great with the quality of the meats and selection of banchan. Unlike other places, you get to pick the banchan sides from a buffet style bar and also pick out your greens and veggies from the salad bar.” — Natali B.

Haan Coffee

5 out of 5 stars, 40 reviews
1235 E. Colonial Drive
”This new coffee shop was a dream! The interior was modern and minimal with a Korean twist. It's the perfect addition to Orlando. I decided to go with a hot latte and a croffle which is a cross between a croissant and waffle. The hot latte was delicious. I can tell that the beans were freshly roasted. The croffle was out of this world. It was sweet and also savory. It had a waffle like texture on the outside and a crossiant texture in the inside.” — Tori C.

Otto’s High Dive

4.5 out of 5 stars, 33 reviews
2304 E. Robinson St.
“After weeks of driving by and feeling the FOMO, I finally sat down at Otto's! So excited this gem is in our Milk District neighborhood. We got a reservation for 5pm (latest available when we checked at the time) but it was perfect in time for happy hour. We shared a few plates but the crab salad and oysters were definitely our favorites!” — Dorsa V.

4.5 out of 5 stars, 40 reviews
1241 E. Colonial Drive

Kaya

5 out of 5 stars, 14 reviews
618 N. Thornton Ave.
”Every dish seemed to compliment the next dish that came out. The pancit, prawns, and pork belly were highlights for me. There were also multiple courses of dessert. Everything was outstanding and carefully thought out. The chef told us that they change a few items from the tasting menu every day they operate, and the experience differs slightly every time one comes. The only caveat is to make sure you don't have anything planned for 2-3 hours as the whole experience did take a while.” — Wally Z.

Crocante Restaurant

4.5 out of 5 stars, 18 reviews
4311 E. Colonial Drive
”Wow! Absolutely excellent meal today with Mom and Dad — we all agreed on this and OG Latinos are beyond picky. Aside from our delicious food, I could not help but think this spot would be PERFECT for a holiday party. Great space, TVs, bar in the middle of everything — perfect. My parents enjoyed both the mofongo and the morcillas. The rice and beans were wonderful — my mother took some home with her ‘para later.’ There is no higher compliment.” — Michelle M.

”One of the best dim sum restaurants I've been to. Beautifully served in wooden bamboo boxes. They had sea cucumber dumplings, salty egg dumplings and all the usual dim sum fare. Pretty modern decor and spacious. Service was excellent. You get to choose a special tea which was offered in a basket. Our baby chrysanthemum was really good. It was accompanied w a small bowl of brown sugar nuggets. A def recommendation for grrat dim sum in Orlando.” — Juju W.

Meet Fresh

4 out of 5 stars, 28 reviews
5144 W. Colonial Drive
”I have been waiting for Meet fresh to open for so long after having been to other locations in other states. We ordered the grass jelly signature with taro paste and the q mochi set. Everything exceeded my expectations. The rice cakes were so good and chewy. We ordered extra condensed milk with our grass jelly so it can taste a bit sweeter. The taro was so good, I love the chunks of taro in the paste, it adds a different flavor and texture in my grass jelly. The grass jelly tasted fresh too because I could taste the herbal flavor which I love!!” — Tien P.

Kiwi Coffee Cafe

5 out of 5 stars, 7 reviews
512 E. Washington St.
”Looking at the menu, the Eola Latte caught my eye. This latte had chocolate, raspberry, and caramel in it. The whip cream on top is always the cherry on top. The raspberry flavor was vibrant and perfect along with the other flavors. A large drink is $6. This drink was so darn good. Immediately had to buy a second one.” — Rachel M.

Thai Super Bowl

5 out of 5 stars, 8 reviews
3191 W. Colonial Drive
”The Pad Se Ew was presented steaming hot and once it cooled down a bit, I had the pleasure of experiencing a delicious dish which was salty, balanced with a touch of sour and which also had a wonderful chargrilled flavor. Definitely an authentically tasting dish with a portion size enough for two people to enjoy. This restaurant is a great addition to the Market.” — Ronnald M.

Scooter’s Coffee

5 out of 5 stars, 5 reviews
3005 West Oak Ridge
”We loved the convenience of this coffee shop, having a very fast drive thru with friendly and excited employees. They were outside expediting their service, similar to a Chick-Fil-A! The lattes themselves were tremendous, some of the best lattes I've ever had!! Can't wait to visit again and try some of the other lattes. The Candy Bar Latte was catching my eye too…” — Maddie H.

Urban Turban

4 out of 5 stars, 9 reviews
100 E. Pine St.
”The food was fantastic! The portions for the price are perfect! I got the Butter Chicken and Rice plate. It came with a little "salad" that's a mix of diced vegetables. These were the freshest vegetables I've ever had at a fast casual restaurant! The mix was lovely with Beets, Radish, Carrots, Celery and Onion. It went perfectly with the rest of the meal.” — Christine S.

”We went for the lunch special. $9.95 for decent ramen can't be beat! We went with our usual favorites tonkatsu & spicy tonkatsu. They were very flavorful, lunch special is still sizable. I was full after & my youngest couldn't finish. FYI they do not have soft drinks.” — Georgia S.

I then had the spicy beef brisket rice noodle and at first I was confused with the deconstructed dishes but the waitress was very kind to explain everything to us.” — Leo Z.
