What an honor to show you and Jenn Orlando’s Mills 50 District!! Thank you again so much for donating to the charity benefit for the Maui wild fire relief!!
@tastychompsTV what a wonderful tour filled with so much great food and amazing stories! Really enjoyed learning so many new things and your vast knowledge on food, the history, and traditions!! Thank you!! 😊
This may be one of the best videos you guys have done in a while. If he is willing you guys should definitely have Ricky back on. I love seeing these elements of Orlando that even a couple of locals weren’t familiar with. It’s truly like a hidden gem of culture, education, and my god that food looks so good.
Please, please, please do more experiences like this trying food and restaurants around Orlando. It was so informative and I love seeing people try new foods they’ve never eaten before.
I’ve been subscribed for literal years. This video has truly been so different yet vey needed. I thank you for showing the local Asian community. Y’all are using your platform to truly help the people of your community. ❤. I can’t even comprehend how ya’ll made this video with two little ones. THANK YOU and the please continue broadcasting the community and every community you support . ❤
One of my favorite videos…love seeing a showcase of small business owners…not the tourist-y Orlando but the business co existing next to these big ip companies
Sappy appreciation post. I have been watching this channel for over 10 years. I can’t say how long but you were getting married in universal so a long time. I’m now 33 but just watching Tim eat food he never would ever like or want to try- but he’s doing it cause why? The world is your freaking palm tree. Anyways you guys got me on a plane for the first time- a trip with my dad for the first time- and essentially the love of universal I have for life. Now we both have kids the same age so it’s just amazing! I do lotto scratch offs sometimes and when I get the right one I’ll be there with my kids!
I don't comment often, but I LOVED this video! One of my favorite things about travel is exploring culture through food. I also love American cities because of their diverse culture. Thanks for showing this aspect of Orlando!
Must say- this was one of the most unique posts you’ve provided and I’ve been a fan of your channel since in the inception. I’ve followed along from the early days- days of weddings in Ireland and the birth of the boys. You’ve always provided fun and interesting perspectives- the Trackers perspectives as it were. This post shows diversity and a willingness to showcase different options- you are showcasing some different perspectives of things to explore. Much like the Festivals such as upcoming Blueberry- this was intriguing. You offered an option for those wanting to explore the food scene in Orlando with an interesting and fun perspective. Ricky has a great chemistry with not only the Owners & proprietors of the locations that you went to, he also creates a great camaraderie with the people. He shares his love of food with. Just an absolute amazing combination of perspectives. Thank you so much for providing a new option for us - so good!!
I moved away from home in December and I’m still heavily dealing with homesickness, but seeing this made me so happy bc mills50 and the Orlando food scene holds such a special place in my heart. Ricky runs the best foodie group on FB and I found so many cool places from it. I can’t wait to come back and visit and thanks for letting me feel like I’m back home again from 4,000+ miles away in Honolulu 🖤

Omg I’ve been watching you all for so long and this is definitely one of my favorite videos. I love that you are showcasing Asian culture and businesses!!! 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️
Tim: I'm like you too. I am shy and awkward and shy. I LOVE learning but would never go into spots and ask these great questions. I also just mostly look at shops and think, “that looks interesting.” then go home and look it up instead of just going in. So glad your bid won this experience and that you could share it with us!
This looks like a fun day out. It's good to see you guys step out of your comfort zone, so to speak, and explore other parts of Orlando. Thank you, Ricky, for showing us around! :)
I am a 30+ year Disney World visitor and have been following you since before Jackson was born. Love your content and look forward to it daily. I have to say this was one of your most authentic videos showcasing local Orlando! Would love to see more vs. Disney food. Great video!
As a vietnamese american, I love seeing people experince vietnamese food! It is the type of thing I grew up eating and I am gald to see it more represented today. If you are ever in the socal/orange county/disneyland area, I highly recomend visting little siagon. It is the largest vietnamese community outside of vietnam and it has a lot of different resturants, foods, and even night markets.
Tim and Jenn!! My family and I are a mix of Vietnamese and Puerto Rican. We have been fans since Tim first started his vlogging and even watched you guys get engaged! I can't tell you how ecstatic I was to see my culture get so much appreciation and shown to the world. I was just saying to my husband that the Vietnamese culture doesn't get recognized enough! Thank you guys for trying our food and being so respectful because I know fish sauce can be very strong lol!!!
This was one of my favourite videos to watch from you guys!! I love seeing you showcase different hidden gems of Orlando and Florida whilst supporting small businesses! Keep em coming! ❤ Also, Ricky was very informative! Loved him!
More videos like this please! I loved learning about the cuisine and seeing such a vibrant, diverse collection of small businesses I had no idea existed in Orlando. Awesome!
My partner and I have traveled to Southeast Asia and we went to Anh Hong one of the last times we visited, how funny! So happy to see my favorite creators there too.
I loved this video! Ricky was so knowledgeable and I really appreciated him showing you and us another side of the Orlando area. I also really enjoyed seeing the love and passion that these businesses have for what they do. I'm a big fan of all of your content, but this video was definitely a standout.
I've never heard of Mills50 - what in the world? I would do this exact tour - that food looked incredible and to know the background behind it... who knew??! I loved this video!!
I added Koko to my map of places to try. The shaved ice looked amazing. What a fun and different video. Got some fun educational information too, so that was nice.
I have been watching you guys since 2011 or 2012, and I have to say this has to one of the best if not the best video you guys have put out!! Love you guys and your content 🎉❤
I would rewatch this vlog over and over again! This vlog honestly meant a lot to my culture because I am Vietnamese myself so it truly warms my heart watching this entire video. Love seeing Orlando Mills50 District culinary adventure I definitely need to try all of those places when I come back to visit my family from time to time.
This video is amazing and making me want to book another trip down just to try all of these food items! Will definitely be visiting during a future trip!
I have been watching you guys for almost 10 years and This has been one of my favourite videos you’ve done! Loved every second and made me want to explore more of Orlando outside of the parks! I will for sure be checking out some of these places!! Hope to see more of this kind of content in the future!
This was an 11/10 video, Tim! That place is my favorite place in Florida to get food in a central location. I've tried many, many coffee places and Haan coffee is up there in my top 5 - the coffees I've gotten there never disappoint, are beyond smooth, and have a rich and beautiful taste I have rarely found in many other coffee places. However, my go-to place for dessert is usually Matcha Cafe Maiko or Sampaguita - I have never heard of this kakigori place so I must try it now! Moving to Orlando for college, I immediately fell in love with the food scene in the Mills 50 area and we would take trips there from UCF all the time. It really is cool seeing how much the place has evolved and changed. Now with me working nearby, my wife and I return to many spots and try all the new ones as well each time we're there and loving how the place is growing and growing in amazing choices. Haan coffee is the toppest of top tiers!
Mills 50 is mostly former refugees from the Vietnam war who found sanctuary here. It’s them or their kids or grandkids who run the businesses now. A bit towards the fashion square mall is true Chinatown where I used to get stuff. I go to pine hills now as that’s becoming a better Chinatown. I still go downtown once in a while though for Colonial photo and hobby which is near the Chinese antique store.
Loved you guys showcasing more of Orlando! A lot of people come to Orlando, but truly don’t realize just how much there is to offer than just the vacation stuff.
I absolutely loved this video - please do more of them! As a fairly regular visitor to Orlando, and someone who is a bit over the parks at the moment, it was so good to see all the spots that we may otherwise miss. Cannot wait to try some of these!
It's great to see a vlog on South East Asian food! I live in South Korea and have recently visited Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong, there are so many great dishes to try in South East Asia.
I love Mills 50. One of the reasons I picked Orlando specifically when I moved back home to Florida was because we have such an amazing and robust Vietnamese, Korean, and Filipino communities. The food culture in Orlando proper often gets slept on because of the theme parks.
Tim & Jen what a fantastic episode!! Keep it up! One of your best episodes! Wasn’t even parks related but I loved it so much! As an Asian American I look forward to visiting Orlando again and checking this area out!
How fun! I love doing food tours in new places, but I think doing a tour in a place I know would be really helpful and interesting to see a brand new side of things.
Thanks so much guys! As a student at UCF my boyfriend and I have been wanting to explore more of the food scene in orlando since we ate at Stasios! Showing all of these restaurants helps us find what to do in our own backyard!
First time caller, long time listener. I loved the interviews and history with the local restaurant/shop owners, and TastychompsTV did an amazing job guiding you both through Mills50.
Thank you for doing this video! I'll definitely be trying out the Chinese medicine shop and I have had the cumin Lamb dish from Chuan Lu Garden recommended from an Asian coworker who claims the restaurant is the most authentic Chinese restaurant in Orlando!
This was a GREAT vid! I really appreciate Tim's and Jen's willingness to try new foods, especially something as foreign to them as Southeast Asian cuisine! AND with Tim's aversion to fish and shrimp! Plus, living here in Hawaii, we really appreciate their support of the Lahaina fire victims! Aloha!
Wow just finished watching and twice I was like so into what was being said- that I was like wait who’s vlog am I watching 😂 and honestly I loved this so much. I think this style will do really well! Go Jackson!!
This video is so fun! I'm not from Florida so it's so interesting to see different places to explore other than the theme parks, especially local spots. So glad Ricky was able to show you guys around and that you got to try food that I grew up eating.
Oh my gosh, you guys. This video was absolutely amazing! I know you won this tour from the charity event, but I think you need to hire Ricky and do another tour with him. This video was so informational and so much fun to watch! I am not from the area, but we do visit Disney every two years and I would love to Uber to this area and try these places. Kudos to a great video!!!
Chewy is my favorite boba shop here in Vegas, I didn't realize it was from Orlando. bahn mi's are my favorite food so glad you got to try them, sadly I can't eat them anymore cause I have celiac disease. this was a fun video!
I also have celiac and enjoy watching people eat the food I can't have anymore as well haha. Some of the places in Mills have gluten free options but they're not dedicated so it depends how sensitive you are. But there's a poke place next to that Korean café (poké Hana) and they can make the poké bowls gluten free as they have GF versions of all the sauces. And that place he pointed out in the video that hand makes their rice noodles for Pho I've eaten with no issues as well :)
This was really awesome to see all these local businesses. Great to hear from the owners too! I’m going to have to get off the beaten path and visit some of these during my next Disney trip.
Love this! Since we became (semi-locals, we live in Ocala) we keep saying that we want to check out the foodie spots in Orlando so this is the perfect way to start!!!
Ohhhh already really like the new mics! I've never felt the need to comment on audio before haha. I know they’re new bc of live show u can tell it’s cleaner! Also YUUUUMMM
This vlog was seriously outstanding. Such a unique video and so fun to watch you guys experience such awesome foods. I hope to someday visit all of these restaurants! Thanks for bringing something new to the vlog!
