Just a few streets over from Downtown Orlando is the thriving neighborhood of Mills 50, built by Vietnamese immigrants and now a foodie mecca. The neighborhood has become so popular that its restaurant scene has garnered multiple Michelin nods…But what makes Mills 50 truly special is its diversity. “It’s a testament to the people of the area, and not just the Vietnamese, but of Orlando itself.”

This summer, Orlando’s Mills Market is getting a bold new addition—Okonomi, a sushi concept that reimagines Japanese counter dining for a new generation of local food lovers. The nigiri-forward project is the latest creation from the powerhouse team behind Zaru, UniGirl, Cowboy Curry, and Sorekara, and it promises to bring a deeply personal—and deeply delicious—new experience to the city’s hottest culinary hub.

The Michelin hotspot in Mills 50 draws locals and visitors for a delicious mixture of Asian cuisine… Mills Market is a good example of how to bring multiple food vendors together in a positive and community-driven way, against some of the bigger food halls that have struggled in recent years as the initial fad seems to pass for diners. 

For many, Orlando is synonymous solely with theme parks. And while the city is home to more major parks than anywhere else in the world, its culinary scene goes beyond turkey legs and chicken nuggets. Nowhere is that more evident than in the Mills 50 district, a vibrant neighborhood in the heart of Orlando with more Michelin-recognized spots than any other part of town.
