The service was great, and the restaurant's atmosphere was welcoming. However, the food didn't quite meet my expectations. I was looking forward to enjoying a traditional Vietnamese garlic noodle bowl, but what I received was closer to spaghetti noodles in garlic sauce. While the tofu served alongside was flavorful, the noodles themselves were dry and tough, an unfortunate mismatch for the delicate balance of Asian flavors. This surprising choice of noodle was a letdown. It left me wondering, why choose spaghetti noodles for an Asian-inspired dish?

I was a disappointed in the flavor of the noodles I ordered. There was a lot of oil and no ginger flavor at all. The shrimp were well cooked and tasty, though. Also, they did not have Ramen at that location.
This place is fantastic, a surprise gem in a plaza. We ordered most of the menu to try everything we could while we were there and every single item was outstanding. Dumpling? Wow. Wings? Incredible. Ribs? Absolutely mind blowing. Staff was very friendly, service was fast, presentation was pretty. Pricing was also quite reasonable. Kai Asian Street Fare is the type of place you want to tell everyone about because it's so good, but you want to keep a secret so there's never a wait.Absolutely check this place out and bring a helmet, because it'll blow your mind (and taste buds). Mmm, I'm still thinking about those ribs.

Better off eating ramen noodles at home. The cook has a nasty attitude and the food is over salty with no flavor… wanna know how the soup tasted? Imagine a Sunday morning after cooking 2 pounds of bacon on a skillet, and then soaking that skillet in water with a dash of dawn dish soap, then heating up that same water and putting noodles in it there you have it…that’s what their soup taste like

Great food, the flavors never disappoint. It got pretty smoky in the restaurant while waiting for our meal. I noticed when I left I smelled like a fryer. A better vent system would be great!Fast forward a year and the food is still amazing and your venting system much, much improved!We always dig in and forget to take pictures of our meals. The appetizers are great and the udon noodle dish is my favorite!
It's alright it's a shame I can't have a variety without worries of shell fish allergy since they use the same oil to fry the other stuff and that's ashame because I heard very great things about the food but I'm only limited to 3 things on the menu.I know the workers work hard to do their job and I'm not trying to ridicule them by. Just wish someone would use separate oil to fry or be more considerate of those with allergies because if that information is not shared it could cost themI talked with one of the people and he said his reasoning for the oil mixing is because "we want to keep the food real to Asian culture" that's nice but you don't have to use the same contaminated oil because some people don't like the taste of shell fish or are allergic to it. The wings can be done without any oil mixing

Nice little spot with great service. Everything we ate was delicious. I got the drunken noodles with fresh crab. My wife got the curry udon bowl. We also tried the spicy wings and they were really crispy and juicy. The price was not too bad for the amount of food you receive. I will definitely be back.
Food was tasty, presentation very good. However, I do not recommend you order shrimp as your protein because you will probably come away hungry. They don't give you much...Very limited menu.
This place was delicious. The wings were the crispness I've ever had the pleasure to eat. The KFC was also killer. I also ate the drunken noodles, they were the best I've had in Florida, maybe the best I've ever had. 10/10 would eat here again.

Despite the underwhelming exterior inside a typical plaza off Semoran, it’s pretty nice and clean inside.The Tonkatsu ramen was nothing special - slices of pork were not flavorful or cooked very well. Usually ramen broth is so flavorful that the seasoning of the meat wouldn’t matter but unfortunately the broth wasn’t up to par with what I’d expect a $15 bowl of ramen to taste like, especially an alleged award winning bowl of ramen in 2019.I think the only reason I gave 3 stars is that I saw someone else getting the Korean wings and drunken noodles that looked very good - might have just made a mistake ordering the ramen.

What are the most underrated places to eat in Orlando. Every time I’ve eaten here the food has always been excellent. I highly encourage you to get the drunken noodles and also the wontons love this place.

Who knew Winter Casselberry had a Michelin star restaurant tucked away?? Found this place just driving by, and it took forever to make it back around, but so glad we made it. It is small inside but it is large in flavor.The server was so knowledgeable about the food and flavors, down to what flavor will be left on your pallet. My garlic noodles were amazing! I meant to only eat half and didn't leave with a to go box. The KFC was good, but at times the veggie taste comes through strong. And I couldn't leave without an order of Korean fried wings...to go because I was stuffed. The spicy tang was the right amount of sweet with a hint of heat. And although the price was a little high, the wings are large!
