Chimiking Restaurant - Whisperlakes

A fantastic Latin American restaurant in Orlando, Florida. If you've had this type of cuisine before, then you know. If you never have, you have to. Carnitas, Barbacoa, Polo, sll of the proteins. Mofongo, deep fried, and sweet Plantains, plus much more. I had the Passion Fruit Ribs, in a Mofongo bowl. Excellent presentation, but even better tasting ribs. Ribs were tender, juicy, country style, with a Passion Fruit bbq sauce, excellent!!! The Mofongo, which are Plantains in a dough like form, excellent as well! An appetizer of deep fried pork belly, was amazing! Crunchy, juicy, so flavorful. Brother had the Roast Pork, with beans and rice, he loved it!! Next time in Orlando, I will be back!

One thing bout this place is that the photos you see are almost far from what it truly is. Well begin with service Service & Staff 5/10 (Restaurant was almost empty but my waiter would disappear and took a while to get the "everything good here?" Question.Ambiance was 7/10. Place looked clean and well lit up. I could see what i was eating so thats kinda good. But Food was definitely a 5/10First off i ordered a churrasco. The skirt steak was as thin as a 2 credit cards but luckily it was fresh and seasoned well. 2nd the arroz con guandules came out semi luke warm with actual cold spots around it. It didnt seem fresh the flavor was terrible no sazon no flavor and it was extremely dry. Tasted like hospital rice. 3rd. The tostones were 6.5/10 only because they were freshly made and big. But a little undercooked. I guess its cus they are big and dont get to cook fully.4th i had the mojito de parcha and it was a 5/10 The mojito had some strong liquor that over powered the parcha and it very acidy Through it all dont think id come back to this place but sure hope they fix that rice.

Was greeted with friendly hellos and was sat down quickly. I ordered from them in the past when I ordered delivery in my area since they were close by. They have great reviews so I always planned to visit their location in person. They explained that they had lunch specials that came with tons of sides to choose from. I got the crispy pork which was cooked perfectly and got a passion fruit juice that was a perfect level of sweet and tart. I ordered a Yaroa to go and they packed it full, definitely money's worth. They have a shared parking lot so it made parking easy and to get to the restaurant. Will bring my family next time to enjoy the food and service. If you are by the area check them out!

I really hope they go back to how they were before. Dine in or to go, Chimi King has a good service and the most flavorful food. It made me feel at ease ordering delivery because it still came fresh and hot. Regrettably, lately, I've been having less than five stars experiences.although the food still has amazing flavor, the chicken is overcooked and way too fried. This is a personal preference, but I used to get way more cheese before than now. I do appreciate greatly that they don't use too much garlic.I'm going soon again and I hope I can bring a different update. The musts?! You must try the guava, empanada, and all of their juices (I even liked tamarind, and i never drink tamarind).

Um yum!!!! Flavorful and delish!! Love trying something a little different and this is the place

The food was delicious! The place is clean and pleasant lots of seating for lunch. Will definitely go back !! Good bang for the buck

Chimi is truly a hidden treasure. During my trip to Orlando for my daughter's 18th birthday, a friend of mine residing in Orlando shared that this was his wife's favorite place. When I relayed this information to my family, my wife suggested we check out this spot while we were in town. We ultimately chose the location nearest to our temporary accommodation, and I have to say, we were not disappointed in the slightest. It has a wonderfully cozy atmosphere and a pleasant environment. The waiter was incredibly friendly and asked numerous questions, clearly noticing we were unfamiliar with the place. He showcased a range of dishes, from the most favored to the highly recommended. We settled on the Churrasco with Mofongo and shrimp. I can honestly say that for the next 7minutes as I enjoyed my meal, I felt like I was in paradise. My children opted for the Dominican burger, which was also fantastic. The chicken atop it was shredded and complimented by a dash of chimichurri sauce. Everything we had was excellent, so if you find yourself near Orlando indulging in the parks and are looking for authentic Dominican cuisine, I wholeheartedly endorse ChimiKing.

good service and plenty of parking, not a fancy place but the food was very good and not salty at all. Would come back if ever in florida area again

3.75-4 stars! Visited for the first time on a Friday evening and we all had a nice time. We were a party of 7 and were seated right away. Our server Carol was very sweet and helpful. It seemed like she didn't speak English, which wasn't a problem for me, but of course it might be for others. However, the menu was both in English & Spanish, so that helps with ordering :)! Chimiking offers their version of PuertoRican and Dominican food. I ordered the mixed seafood mofongo with garlic sauce & a passion fruit mojito. The drink was strong and tasty! The mofongo sauce wasn't traditional Puerto Rican in taste but regardless it was very flavorful! It needed some acidity and brightness-- from like a cilantro mojo for example-- to balance the richness, but they didn't have any. The only condiments offered were ketchup, Mayo ketchup & a hot sauce that tasted like Cholula brand. Prices are a little expensive but my food was tasty so I'd visit again.

Found this place while shopping @ Costco and saw their van pull in. Asked the driver what type of food and their location. They said their specialty was Criollo and Dominican. So we decided to give them a try. The food was the best I had outside the islands. We started with alcapurrias and then had the Oxtails with white rice and Mofongo. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend el Chimiking
