Every state has that one unassuming spot that locals cherish and the food speaks louder than the decor.
With a modest exterior and no-nonsense atmosphere, it's the kind of place you might pass by without a second glance. But step inside, and you’ll find unforgettable flavors, generous portions, and recipes passed down through generations. This eatery doesn't aim to impress with ambiance; instead, it wins hearts with authenticity, warmth, and delicious food.
Often family-owned and proudly unpolished, hole-in-the-wall restaurants offer a dining experience that feels like home. In a state full of flashy food trends and polished dining rooms, this humble gem rises above the noise by doing one thing exceptionally well: making amazing food, every single time. It’s a best-kept secret for some, a weekly ritual for others, and a must-try destination for anyone who believes great meals are about taste, not tablecloths.
According to a list compiled by LoveFood, the best hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Florida is Mimi's Kitchen in Orlando.
Here's what LoveFood had to say about the best hole-in-the-wall eatery in Florida:
"This unassuming Korean restaurant was set up by Mimi Wong in 2008 following the death of her husband. The joint's popularity has grown and grown since then, with many saying it serves the best Korean food around. The lunch special – your choice of bulgogi, spicy pork, or chicken teriyaki, served with rice and side dishes – is a popular order (and costs less than $10). As well as traditional Korean cuisine, the menu also features burgers, subs, wraps, and salads."
