    Beef bulgogi.

    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.

    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.

    Awesome! Korean bbq... so good! Waiter was great #7!!!! He was the man thank you! First time not busy but should be

    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!

    A really good Korean bbq place! Got the B section for higher price. My friends and I loved the la galbi and angus chuck. It came with broth that was pleasant in taste for our palates. Ordered rice, cheese corn, karaage and gyozas as sides. All were delicious. We also made it in time for happy our! $3 beers, can't beat that. Our waiter was nice and helpful. Overall, a good experience

    Stumbled into here sort of spur of the moment. Was pleasantly surprised. The hostess/server was very nice and my father who has every food allergy under the sun was accommodated by the kitchen. The spicy cucumber side was a favorite and I really appreciated the server bringing a new grill top each round of meat. It helped keep the smoke down and the normal Korean bbq smell down to a minimum also! I also loved the K-pop music videos playing on the walls.

Since she was the only server, she also bussed all the tables too. When it got busy, you can tell she was a little overwhelmed but she kept her spirits up and provided good service to the best of her ability. The restaurant ambiance is hip and happening. There are flat panel screens to watch KPOP videos. Restaurant is clean and looks fairly new. We ordered korean pancake, soondubu, pork belly plate, tonkatsu kimbap, galbi plate & korean chicken wing. I kid you not, we loved every single plate we had. Nothing was disappointing, every bite of food was flavorful. For 3 adults and 1 preschooler, we had 1/4 of pancake,3-4 chicken wings and some kimbap leftover. Highly recommend this place for Korean food! Shoutout to the girl working her butt off. She was so patient and friendly. Thank you for all your hardwork!

You order via QR code on your table, which is always mildly annoying. The food came promptly and included sides, which they made sure to only bring the vegan sides for us. Ordered the bibimbap and it was good. Came with a traditionally spicy sauce on the side, which I tasted and it was too sweet for my taste. The decor is cute and there's four TVs playing K-pop. Once you're done eating you go to the register to pay, which wasn't obvious. Would return.

Parking was a bit of a challenge as they're tucked in with bustling shops. The food quality was the same as most other hotpot places, so that's a relief. The waiter was snarky, at first I thought it was a language barrier. But then after hearing his interaction with a neighboring table it was certainly him. He was judging my wife's order and openly disagreeing with her choices and amount. (She ate all of it and more). I let him know he crossed the line and silence was probably his best way forward. He then lingered at our table for a full two minutes after we had ordered. Just staring at us. Several times I told him that we were good and he could do something else, with my final Dad voice in full effect the message landed and he scuttled away. I make a genuine effort to be respectful, polite and friendly to everyone, especially food service workers. So, it's rare I encounter events like this. But we did, and I handled it. Then the people at the table next to us went through nearly the same ordeal. Very off putting.

    Lotte Plaza Market is not your typical supermarket--it's an entire experience. From the moment you…read morepull in, one thing becomes clear: this place operates on a completely different scale. The parking lot is spacious and easy to navigate, which already sets the tone for a smooth, stress-free visit. Once inside, you quickly realize just how expansive this market truly is--you could easily spend an hour (or more) exploring every aisle without even noticing the time go by. What makes this market stand out is its depth and authenticity. As an Asian supermarket, it offers an extraordinary range of products that go far beyond what you'll find in standard grocery stores. The produce section alone is worth the visit--fresh, vibrant fruits and vegetables, many of which are unique or hard to find elsewhere, are beautifully displayed and constantly restocked. As you move through the aisles, you'll discover an impressive selection of: Specialty herbs, spices, and seasonings Authentic sauces and condiments from across Asia An entire world of noodles, rice varieties, and pantry staples A wide assortment of snacks, beverages, and imported goods If you're cooking Asian cuisine, you will find absolutely everything you need here--no exceptions. It's the kind of place where both home cooks and seasoned food lovers can get inspired just by walking through the aisles. Beyond groceries, Lotte Plaza Market feels more like an international marketplace. You'll find plants, beauty products, and specialty items, adding to the overall experience and making it more than just a place to shop--it's a place to explore. A helpful tip: since many items are imported, be mindful to check expiration dates on packaged goods, and keep an eye out for promotions. Some products can be on the pricier side, but there are definitely great deals if you take a moment to browse. One of the highlights--and honestly one of the main reasons I return--is the indoor food court-style dining area. There are several small eateries where you can order directly at the counter. While the setup is casual and straightforward, the food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and satisfying--perfect for a quick and delicious stop during your visit. To elevate the experience even further, the market also features a French bakery, along with beauty boutiques and a hair salon, giving it the feel of a small international plaza rather than a traditional grocery store. Overall, Lotte Plaza Market delivers on every level--selection, authenticity, and experience. Whether you're shopping for specific ingredients, discovering new products, or simply stopping in for a quick bite, it's absolutely worth the visit. Even if you're not familiar with Asian cuisine, this is the kind of place you go to explore, learn, and enjoy something different. If you haven't been yet, I highly recommend making the trip--you'll understand why the moment you walk in.
