Mills Market - Review - Mills 50 - Orlando - The Infatuation

"Mills Market used to be a Vietnamese grocery store before they cleared out the aisles and turned the space into an excellent food hall. It’s quality over quantity when it comes to the five vendors. You can get a crackly banh mi from Bánh Mì Boy, dozens of different onigiri from UniGirl, and pork belly too crunchy to eat in a library courtesy of Kai Kai BBQ. There’s no weak link in the lineup and not a single bad decision on any menu. So bring a hungry group and go wild. Just be prepared to stand while you eat. Chairs are a precious resource inside. Food Rundown Bánh Mì Boy Special If you're here for a bánh mì, head straight to Bánh Mì Boy and order this. Nothing in this sandwich comes out of a plastic bag. They bake the bread themselves, make the paté, and slice the cold cuts fresh. Orlando is a bánh mì city and this is one of the very best.

The fillings range from spicy garlic crab to fried chicken, but the rice is the most impressive component: warm, seasoned, and not gummy. All of the food at Mills Market is takeout-friendly, but this is particularly perfect for stocking up on road trip snacks. PlayMute Crispy Pork The Kai Kai BBQ stand has a bunch of delicious-looking roasted meats hanging on hooks. If you’re overwhelmed by choices, go for the crispy pork, which has meltingly tender meat and skin that deserves an adjective more aggressive than “crispy.” PlayMute video credit: Ryan Pfeffer" - Ryan Pfeffer
