    Beef bulgogi.
    Tracy H.

    The vibe was cool. K-pop videos on the wall. The food was delicious. The service was friendly and we were greeted promptly. Loved the radishes. So crunchy.

    My wife and I had an amazing experience with this eat-all-you-can Korean BBQ place! Their meats were all good, especially the Bulgogi! The sides also taste great. I like that they're open till midnight, so we were able to satisfy our cravings even at late night. The ambiance is cozy and the service is awesome! I will highly recommend this place, especially when you're really hungry!

    It was pretty packed on Sunday night from crowds who came from the nearby Convention Center. It seem like they were understaffed because the wait was longer than usual. However our waiter was very apologetic and tried to serve us as soon as she could. As for the meats they were pretty good considering this is AYCE. My favorite was the brisket and sweet corn. It tasted pretty authentic as well. Def give this place a try on a day when they are less busy.

    So we accidentally stumbled upon this spot after a full day of shopping at the Vineland Outlets. We were starving and a bit cold so we decided to check this place out! Located in a plaza next to Escapology and TwentyPho... there was plenty of parking and easy access from the main road. Upon entering we were greeted and seated almost immediately. The restaurant had plenty of seating and was spacious. I thought it was cute that they were projecting KPop music videos on the walls which was a nice touch. For food, even though there were cost efficient AYCE options...we actually decided to order a la carte instead since we weren't trying to eat so much late at night. We had the Seafood Pancake, U Turn Chicken Wings, Garlic shrimp, Dolsot BimBimbap and tofu stew. I would say the stand out dishes were definitely the Seafood Pancake and Tofu Stew. Both of those dishes had great flavors and were great for sharing! The other items were good but didn't really stand out as much, I would probably skip those next time. Overall, I had a good experience at U Turn Korean BBQ. The service was great and the food came out pretty quick. If I were around the area, I wouldn't mind stopping by again to try their other dishes.

    I have been wanting to come here for awhile and I finally got to try this place! The inside is so cool and they have Kpop videos playing on the walls. The staff here were so nice and helpful explaining the menu. We ordered a lot of food! The quality of the meat here is unmatched. This is the best Kbbq I have ever been to hands down. Such good flavor and good cuts of meat. They kept coming by as well so you never feel like you have to wait to put in another order. Our favorite was the pork belly. The Bibimbap here was soo good! I find a lot of other places taste bland but this one was delicious and flavorful! If you love Kbbq you have to come here!! I cannot wait to come back here!

    Absolutely the best Korean bbq I've had. The price is amazing for all you can eat. From the hot fried appetizers to the kimchi and other side dishes. Everything was delicious and flavorful. The variety of options you have is amazing. The place wasn't super busy for a weekend evening, I was surprised. The quality of the food was top notch. Service was also just as amazing as the food. Jesse was our server and he was phenomenal. He was very attentive and always made sure we had everything we needed. He was also juggling the other 5 tables in the restaurant. He was great! Can't wait to go back. Our meal was great

    We got the a set and I honestly was a little disappointed. To start, the side dishes: bean sprouts seemed to be blanched for too long and also lacked any seasoning, making it taste like soggy grass. The house salad had a mayo based dressing which isn't what we except when coming for Korean food. Kimchi tasted off with no refreshing, fermented and crunchy taste, just spicy and slightly soggy again. As for the meats, I liked the portioning as it's perfect for two people. It's about 6 large pieces per meat option. The meats seemed to be good quality but I didn't prefer the marinades as it was too sweet (spicy pork sauce was my favorite of the 3 we tried). Also, the meat itself was cut too thickly (particularly the brisket), making it harder to chew compared to the melt in your mouth brisket that's served elsewhere. Overall, I would not return as there's much better kbbq in Orlando for the same price. Glad to have stopped by and tried it out though!

    Honey Garlic Beef- good

    This place was excellent! Our server John was helpful and responsive to our near continuous requests for something. The place was a little questionable because of the continuous loop of k-pop band videos on the walls but, when the service and food is this good, you ignore the weird stuff. I'm sure there are folks in Orlando who love K-pop. It seems like that era of N'Sync, O-Town, and Britney Spears that my whole generation would like to forget. Get the all you can eat B-Menu and set a fast pace so you get value for your dollar. Even the soup, salad, and appys were tasty. The star are the meats you cook yourself. We had a bunch (see the pics). Everything we had was very very good. I think it is even a little better than Gyu-Kaku - for those who have been to similar places in Orlando. This is going on our list of regular O-Town haunts.

    Good drink selections!

    Wow We went to get late night Pho after college softball games on a Monday night and celebrating our daughter MVP on both games. Right next door was U Turn so we jumped on some AYCE! Really glad we did. Emily was our server and she was a jovial hard working young Lady from Hong Kong that was so helpful at helping my wife find a better drink (sparking Yuzu that was expensive but good!) Another item I don't usually care for but would drink myself. I got a big Korean Terra beer that's familiar to me. We got the AYCE A which was less at $35 each but had great normal choices and the rice, lettuce, ban chan, and a beef broth soup. Soup was good but not that special. The ban Chan was excellent yet simple at only 6 varieties. Who fills up on that at buffet? Well I kind of do but didn't miss the usual big variety a bit. The lettuce fresh and plentiful and the meats and prawns really nicely prepared. Smaller portions but it kept coming from Emily and her co workers. Garlic slices too to char on the grill!! What stood out here from ANY Korean bbq I've been to was the scene.... When we arrived it was of course a Monday night at 9:30 but it was full of K-pop girl band videos and three huge projection whole wall screens and a 20 plus office group from the local LG Electronics partying with food, beer, and Yuzu like it was New Year's Eve! Very vibrant scene. $2k plus bill! Admittedly calm after they left and hoping they had designated drivers. They spent a lot of time unwinding en mass in the parking lot when we we were leaving. Other Koreans still coming in when we were finishing. They are relatively new and think they will do quite well! Odd staff as usually only Koreans usually hired at these places but this was a fantastic service staff and multi racial. We would go back here again when we are here again for sure! Thanks Emily!

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!

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.

BBB Tofu House left me absolutely speechless and wanting to order much more than we did, and we actually ordered a ton of food for only two people. The outside ambiance of this place is very unsuspecting. It's in a poorly lit strip mall in the Pine Hills area of town. Various furniture stores and other Asian restaurants and questionable wellness spas dot the mall, but inside, this place was beautiful. It was like a ruby encrusted coy pond, gently playing K-pop in the background. Very cozy. The service was incredible. These folks were so nice and patient with me as I asked them questions about many menu items, wanting to make sure I ordered the right things. The food came out at a very reasonable pace, too. Everything was hot and fresh and delicious. And the food, it was wow. Absolutely exquisite. Started off with the Bulgogi Mandu (Beef; 5 Pieces). These are a fried Korean dumplings, and the thing about mandu is that they are probably the dumpling with the most filling packed into it. A massive amount of delicious beef filling, a crispy wrapper with a fun little crimping for texture, and a nice, subtle sesame-type sauce. Very good. I also had the Tteok-bokki, my favorite Korean appetizer. It is a chewy, cylinder-shaped rice cakes (tteok) simmered in a spicy, sweet, and savory sauce. And it was delicious. It was also the largest serving I've ever encountered, so it got kind of one-note. I recommend paying the upcharge for the Add Cheese. Then onto the Seafood Pancake. Look at this dang thing in my picture. One of the best things man has ever created. An intricately crispy outer layer of some sort of dough, containing within a cheesy blend of seafoods, all sliced up like a pizza and coming with that same sesame sauce for dipping. This was Super Bowl food, my goodness. I got the Galbi (BBQ Short Ribs), which is another Korean staple. Very mainstream, but for good reason. These short ribs are sliced crosswise, slicing up those muscle fibers, and leaving behind thin layers of delicious, tender beef. Being sliced so thinly also lends itself well to soaking up the marinade very good. So delicious. I finished off with the, here we go, the main event, Dolpan Kimchi Bokkeum Bap (Kimchi Fried Rice) (Kimchi, Beef, Peas, Corn, Carrots and Onion topped with Cheese). They'll ask you if you want the egg. Say yes. This magnificent creature comes to you as a mound of rice in a screaming hot stone bowl, with the cheese kept away from it. Tableside, the man cracks an egg on the whole thing, and then mixes the heck out of all of it, allowing the egg to cook and the cheese to melt. He then spreads it all out against the stone bowl, maximizing touched surface area, creating a crispy cheesy rice crust along the bottom of the bowl, making every bite amazing. You read all that right. And it was one of the best meals of my life not at a Michelin restaurant. I'm actually going to petition this place as a Bib Gourmand. It was that high quality. I'm in love.

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.
