The bonchon was good too, but it was just different kinds of pickled vegetables. Some more variety would be nice. The service was fast and the food came quickly. I did think that the price and value of the food was just ok for a more casual restaurant. The seating is pretty cute! I did think the music was a little jarring. They kept playing just a short clip of kpop songs before switching to the next one. It got a little annoying after a while.

I finally tried Surah Korean BBQ & Cuisine in the Dr. Phillips area. I had always heard it was more…read moreof an upscale, high-end spot, but their lunch specials are actually incredibly reasonable. I ordered the $18 Bulgogi hotpot, and it was pure comfort food--the broth had that perfect sweet and savory balance that hits the spot when you want a cozy meal. True to traditional spots in Korea, it came with six different banchan side dishes, and they even offer free, unlimited refills. Apparently, the K-pop group ATEEZ ate here twice when they were in town for their tour. It really feels like one of those "if you know, you know" low-key gems where visiting artists and local professionals go for authentic Korean food. By the way, September is the low season in Orlando--especially with the Magical Dining promotion happening at other local spots. Because of this, Surah has decided to close for lunch from Tuesday through Thursday this month. This means Friday is your only chance in September to catch their amazing, affordable lunch specials. Keep this in mind so you don't show up to a closed restaurant!

Surah is a decent spot if you are eating with a group, though it definitely costs a bit more than…read moreyou might expect. We went with six people and ordered a few different things to share, including the seafood pancake. It had way more scallions than the ones you usually get at other places, which made it a little different, but I genuinely liked it. We also got the army stew, and it was a good size because it easily fed all six of us along with the other dishes we ordered. The braised beef ribs tasted good, but they had dry ends that were tough to chew through. Once you got past those dry parts, the rest of the meat was tender. Overall, it is a pretty good place to share a meal with friends, just keep in mind that the prices are on the higher side. At first, the service was a little slow but it picked up and our server was very nice.

Selleongtang is a very mild bone broth soup, so you season to taste adding salt and the pepper paste brought it to a higher level. The banchan was spot on. Now I'm torn, the selleongtang was so good not sure if I want to branch out but with it being so good I know I need to try another dish when I go back. Can't recommend enough for real authentic Korean food.

I've never had cold noodles with broth before so I ordered the naengmyeon (cold noodles in icy broth). It was quite nice for a new experience. The broth was savory, tangy and slightly tart and sweet. It's perfect for any hot Florida day as there are pieces of frozen broth thawing as you eat. I tried a piece of the frozen broth and it had a shaved ice-like texture to it. Ambience was pretty chill here and the waiters were helpful and kind. Also, portion sizing is a bit on the larger size.

Definitely to be shared with someone else (unless you love leftovers as much as I do ) I got the kimchi fried rice and my best friend got the bulgogi! As you can notice in the picture, the bulgogi came with A LOT of sides!! The meat was incredibly tender and flavorful, and my kimchi rice had the perfect kick of spice to it!! The korean twice fried wings are a MUST!!!!!! Get the sauce on the side if you're hesitant towards spice. Note: Parking is also incredibly simple! BaBbi BaBbi is located in a shopping center with other restaurants and shops. We can't wait to return!!

It was a new experience with being able to bring out various meats and cooking it in front of you. The waiter came and provided so much clarification and health along the way.

If you're in the area, please stop by and check things out.

The overall atmosphere was quaint but inviting. The restaurant has these really cool fixtures over the tables that add almost a brutalist feel to it, but for the most part, it is a pretty traditional restaurant layout. There is ample seating, and there is also ample parking in the plaza where this restaurant is located. As for the dining experience (food) itself, I kept it light with my order. I ordered the avocado roll and paired it with some miso soup. Both of which I enjoyed IMMENSLY. I am looking forward to going back to try more of their menu and venture into their speciality rolls. The pricing is GREAT. For my first experience, I was quite pleased.

(You know what store I'm talking about... starts with an H) Fine, but my personal observation especially based on the visit I made last week is that even though the other market is being hyped up by social media; Lotte is still a better, and more affordable market. Granted, the food court choices at the other location are better, I'd still come to Lotte when I need specific asian ingredients. It seems they're aware that theres more competition and they've not only done renovations to the store but they have a lot more specials now than before. The day we went they even had several people promoting products and giving out samples. I don't recall them ever doing that before and I think that's a great idea to boost sales in items. I look forward to shopping here in the future.

Seeing that this was our first visit, which we explained when we sat down, you'd think the…read moregentleman who served the table would have been understanding, patient and take his time explaining how it works. As soon as we sat down, he asked what base we wanted. We asked if he could explain the process and he was so irritated and impatient. He walked away while we read the menu. When he came back, we had some questions and while he did give us a smile, he answered in an irritated manner. When we asked for spicy, he looked at us and said are you sure? We said yes and then he asked if we wanted it mild, medium or hot. My brother said hot and he again said are you sure it's very hot. We each went with a different heat level to be safe. Then we asked how it worked and he again, very irritably, waved us to the buffet area and talked so fast we were lost. The broth was so bland and the "hot" was not hot at all. The overall experience was underwhelming for most of us and we won't be back. One person enjoyed it and said they'd return. For me, it was less than a 1 star but since one person enjoyed it, I added an additional star for them.

The food was okay overall, but the quality and service were very disappointing…read more Some of the beef was extremely tough, with too much connective tissue and tendon. The beef ribs were mostly fat and still very tough to chew. The chicken was woody breast, making it dry and very difficult to eat. The rice was even worse. They replaced it three times. The first two batches were hard, and the third batch was actually undercooked. The service was by far the biggest disappointment. Even though ordering is done on an iPad, they still kept forgetting items. We had to remind the staff multiple times before the food finally arrived. Every dish took 10-15 minutes or longer to arrive, yet customers are expected to finish their meal within a 90-minute time limit. This is a Japanese BBQ restaurant where the staff is simply bringing out raw meat for customers to grill at the table. There is really no reason it should take 10-15 minutes to deliver each order. To make it even more frustrating, the restaurant wasn't even busy. During our entire meal, there were only two or three other tables occupied, so it's hard to understand why the service was so slow and disorganized. To make matters worse, an 18% service charge was automatically added to the bill. I don't mind paying a service charge for good service, but charging that much when the service is this slow and disappointing feels completely unjustified. Our bill was over $210 for three people, and that didn't even include any drinks. At that price, there are many better Japanese BBQ options available. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back, and I can't recommend this place.
