The East Colonial Drive dining guide
East Colonial Drive is a corridor, not a single dining district. The directory records reviewed here run from the Mills 50 stretch to Viet-Nomz's Waterford location. The street address matters more than a broad Orlando neighborhood label: Kabooki has another location on Turkey Lake Road, and Viet-Nomz lists several locations around Central Florida.
This guide reviews the seven saved records identified in our earlier East Colonial search, ordered by their saved street numbers. They are not seven restaurants confirmed open. Five addresses are supported by restaurant pages or outside sources, Halong Bay remains unverified, and Soupa Saiyan has a street-name conflict: outside reporting places it on Vineland Road, not Colonial. That final entry is an address warning, not a Colonial dining stop.
Sources were checked on November 11, 2026. A check date records when we read the evidence, not a visit or a guarantee that a kitchen is open today. The notes distinguish an address match from an operating-status check. We have not added hours, ratings, prices, or firsthand recommendations from these lookups.
01
Halong Bay
Address and status unverified
An unresolved directory record near the western end of this address list. Treat the saved address as a lead to verify, not a confirmed destination.
- Saved address — unverified:
- 1231 E Colonial Dr, Orlando
- Latest:
- Checked 2026-11-11: no independent official page or reliable outside report was found supporting this restaurant at its saved Colonial address. Our own listing is not independent evidence. Address and operating status remain unverified; confirm directly before making a trip.
- Sources checked
- No independent source found for this saved record.
02
Shin Jung
Address supported by linked sources
The restaurant's own Facebook page identifies it as a Korean grill and lists its East Colonial address. The linked directory record is the same Shin Jung included in our Mills 50 guide.
- Address:
- 1638 E Colonial Dr, Orlando
- Latest:
- Checked 2026-11-11: the restaurant's Facebook page supports the saved address. Its website could not be read successfully, so current opening hours and operating status have not been independently confirmed. A momentary 'closing soon' label is not evidence of permanent closure.
- Sources checked
03
Sticky Rice Lao Street Food
Address supported by linked sources
A Lao street-food restaurant on the Mills 50 stretch of Colonial. The Infatuation's July 16, 2025 report identifies the cuisine as Lao; the directory's Thai category should not be read as a verified description of this restaurant.
- Address:
- 1915 E Colonial Dr, Orlando
- Latest:
- Checked 2026-11-11: The Infatuation's dated report and Apple Maps both support the saved address. These are outside sources, not a fresh confirmation from the restaurant. Its official website was unavailable during this check; current hours and operating status remain unverified.
04
Kabooki Sushi
Address supported by linked sources
Use Kabooki's East Colonial location page when planning a meal here. The restaurant also lists a Sand Lake location, so a reservation at the other dining room is not a reservation on Colonial.
- Address:
- 3122 E Colonial Dr, Orlando
- Latest:
- Checked 2026-11-11: Kabooki's official East Colonial page matches the saved address and publishes a weekly schedule. Its reservation page distinguishes East Colonial from Sand Lake. This supports the location, but is not a same-day operating-status guarantee; consult the restaurant before going.
05
Izziban Sushi & BBQ
Address supported by linked sources
Izziban's official page lists a Colonial location and a menu spanning Korean barbecue and sushi. The address is supported, but its contradictory hours display makes this a call-ahead entry rather than a promise of service.
- Address:
- 5310 E Colonial Dr, Orlando, FL 32807
- Latest:
- Checked 2026-11-11: the official page matches the saved address but displays 'Closed' for every day while also offering ordering links. That conflict does not establish permanent closure. Operating status remains unverified and no hours are reproduced here.
- Sources checked
06
Soupa Saiyan
Address conflict — not a Colonial stop
Address correction — not an East Colonial stop. This record appeared in our earlier corridor search because of its saved street name. Do not navigate to that saved Colonial address on the strength of this guide.
- Disputed saved address:
- 5689 E Colonial Dr, Orlando
- Latest:
- Checked 2026-11-11: WKMG's December 13, 2023 report and a current Uber Eats listing place Soupa Saiyan on Vineland Road, not East Colonial Drive. The official website could not be read. The directory address needs editor correction; current operating status is not confirmed by this guide.
07
Viet-Nomz
Address supported by linked sources
Choose the Waterford location on Viet-Nomz's official locations page. It is the eastern end of this reviewed address list, separate from the Mills 50 cluster and from the brand's Winter Park and Lake Mary locations.
- Address:
- 11798 E Colonial Dr, Orlando, FL 32817
- Latest:
- Checked 2026-11-11: the official locations page still matches the directory's Waterford address and publishes hours and a location-specific phone number. The listing's saved operating-status check is dated 2026-11-07. This guide check does not replace that saved verification date.
- Sources checked
This is a source review of existing directory records, not a complete inventory of East Colonial restaurants and not a ranked list. Halong Bay needs independent evidence; Izziban needs clarification of its hours display; Soupa Saiyan needs an address correction before it can be treated as a corridor match. We have kept those limitations visible rather than filling the gaps with assumptions.
For a meal, start with the linked restaurant source for the exact location you want, then confirm hours, availability, prices, and dietary needs directly. For the surrounding district, continue with our Mills 50 guide. If a saved detail is wrong, send its source and the date through Report a Correction so an editor can verify the change.
