I was surprised to find Korean food at all in Ocala. I was thrilled to come across Haeorum. A…read morefriend and I went together for lunch on a Wednesday. It's in a really nondescript location, tucked away in an old gas station store. The store was a combination of hot food and some pantry staples like gochugaru and ramen. I ordered the Hot Bob, which was the spicy pork shoulder over rice. It was so delicious. We shared a kimchi pancake - it was a really sizable pancake but I wish it had a bit more flavor. Overall really happy with this place. I'm definitely coming back soon.

I was looking for spots to check out in Ocala and had stumbled upon this place. After reading the…read morereviews, I had to see why this place was so highly rated. This is located inside a gas station, so when you enter it looks like a regular convenience/gas station, but then you see the menu with all the dishes they offer. They had so many delicious items on the menu, but I only went with the Japchae. I didn't wait long, it took about 15 minutes and while I was there, I got to look around and noticed all the Korean products around the store. Once I got my food, I sat at the tables they have in a corner and got quite a bit of food. It's a good serving. After trying the Japchae, I understand now why this spot is so highly rated. The Japchae was well seasoned came with a lot of delicious veggies and a side of rice. If this spot was close by I would eat there on a weekly basis! Really great spot to check out when in Ocala.

Everyone in our table found the food tasty and delicious starting with the appetizer mee krob and crab Rangoon. We had drunken noodles, pad Thai with duck, pad woonsen with duck and the soft shell crab. All servings were more than generous so much so that each one of us had leftovers to take home. Service was prompt and quick. I like that the servers were team tagging on our table despite the fact that there were other occupied tables (probably half a dozen) with 3 or 4 diners. It was not a very busy Saturday lunchtime though diners were coming in and out. But I've been here on weekdays and the place could get loud. Prices are fair. This is definitely one of the better Thai restaurants in Ocala. All 4 of us decided that we'll come back to taste the other interesting offerings in their menu. Highly recommend that you come and try as well.

We got one called the Blushing Bull Roll and it was so good. This is not your ordinary sushi place I can tell you that. Very quaint inside and has lots of seating outside as well.

This was our 2nd visit to Bamboo Bistro and were disappointed both times. Our first visit was for…read moredinner - the sauces on the entrees were covered in a dark gravy - not sauce and had little taste. The 2nd visit was for lunch for Bento boxes as the reviews for those seemed good. Very disappointed in the quality and taste other than the hot and sour soup. The miso was OK but thin. The sushi was old and dry with no flavor - obviously sitting around waiting to be used. Dumplings were OK but cold. Teriyaki was grilled chicken chunks that were overcooked and hard with a mild thin sauce poured over it. The tempura was OK but not crispy. We were looking for a decent place to go for a Bento box and Bamboo Bistro is not it. Obvious they assemble meals there instead of cooking to order. Mediocre at best.

Our total was about $37 for pickup, and unfortunately the food wasn't even close to being worth that price. The coconut shrimp were the biggest letdown. They arrived soggy, bland, and lacked any real seasoning. What really confused me was that the coconut wasn't part of the shrimp--it came as a separate dipping sauce. I expected coconut shrimp to be a complete dish with the coconut incorporated into the coating, not something I had to assemble myself. It felt unfinished and odd. The vegetable lo mein was just okay. The noodles were cooked fine, but there were very few fresh vegetables mixed in, making it feel more like plain noodles than vegetable lo mein. For the price, I expected a much better balance of vegetables and flavor. Overall, nothing tasted fresh or memorable, and the meal didn't justify the cost. We left disappointed and, unfortunately, won't be back.

When we walked in, they were still unhappy hour so we had the Shanghai Noon and Kill Bill drink ($10). We cannot believe how good the menu was. Some of the first and second course items we ordered were the firecracker shrimp, tuna crudo , truffle, scallion, noodles, and Shanghai sticky ribs. For our entrée, we ordered the Teres Major steak and the general Yao's chicken. And for dessert, we had the black sesame, soft serve, and the Matcha Panna cotta. I will definitely be back. I would like to come here for date night with my husband and bring my mom. We were so impressed by the service from Amber. She was amazing!!! The whole staff was great. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and the food was 100/10. Highly recommended!!!!

I've had Yao's on my list to try ever since the big Yelp party earlier this year (they had one of…read morethe best bites of the night), and I finally made it in for Magical Dining this past month. I took my friend to dinner for her birthday and it was the perfect chance to try a wide variety of their menu. They have a 4 course menu for Magical Dining, so it's definitely a great value for $40 per person. We both started with the chili wontons (pork) as our starter and we're glad we did because they were amazing and we did not want to share, haha. For the second appetizer, we did share the Shanghai sticky ribs and the tuna crudo. Again, both hits -- especially the ribs! I'm not usually a big rib fan, but these were perfectly cooked, tender, and fell right off the bone. The sweet chili soy sauce they're coated in with fried garlic is so tasty. For our mains, she got the Teres Major Steak (asian chimichurri, umami butter, gai lan, smoked salt) and I got the General Yao's Chicken (tempura battered served with rice). We enjoyed a few bites of each before we were absolutely stuffed. They were both huge, generous portions and we took home enough for leftovers the next day. Of course, we saved just enough stomach space for dessert -- I went with the black sesame soft serve (black tahini, brown sugar crumble) and she got the fried sesame balls. I think we both enjoyed the soft serve the most. I'm a sucker for anything black sesame. Overall, I was really impressed with Yao's and the service was very welcoming and friendly, despite being quite busy during Magical Dining. I'm looking forward to returning with my husband soon because I know he'll love it, too!

When we're back in area out passing through, it'll be on our list for sure. This was our first stop in Mount Dora. It's a cute little town. We enjoyed ourselves.
