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!
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!
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
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.
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!
Awesome! Korean bbq... so good! Waiter was great #7!!!! He was the man thank you! First time not busy but should be
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
First, this plaza is busy and full of random things, but U Turn is tucked into a corner and almost difficult to spot. But, if you go, you won't be sad, the quality and service are amazing. First, the portion sizes are incredible, which is not always the case at KBBQ spots. I was always impressed about the amounts that came to the table with each order. The only 'small' portion was the veggie tray, which felt odd, but was okay in the end, since you can merely order more. For apps, I didn't love the gyoza, it was good, but wasn't the best I've ever had. The cheese corn, however, was a hit with our table. If you've never had any, this is an easy recommendation - it's quite tasty and easy to eat. For meat, wow, we loved so many of the options. The one I would skip was the pork belly, it wasn't super flavorful compared to the other options. read more
Food was delicious. The Beef Bulgogi was delicious and very authentic. Very kind, friendly and helpful wait staff. The seating and the ambiance is very pleasant. I highly recommend this Korean restaurant and I will surely be back when I'm in the Orlando area in the future. read more

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. read more

Went last night to give them a try. When we arrived there was about 4 tables seated and one server. He saw us walk in and greeted us from afar as he was with another table. He then sat us as soon as he was finished with the table. He was alone most of the time we were there and it got pretty busy. But he was on top of it. We have had Korean bbq many times so we didn't need any explanations but what he shared with us and listening to him with other tables he was very knowledgeable which is a huge help for those that have never had it. We did the AYCE A which had plenty of options for us. They are a bit pricier than other places we frequent but nothing too crazy for the area. They had a sign that they give a 10% discount to Disney, Universal and Sea World employees which is smart for business. He took our order right away since we knew what we wanted. We were allowed to order 4 meats at a time which is plenty and the apps. The bonchon was automatic. We started with the beef broth which was super flavorful. The gyoza where fine they are the same I buy at home so nothing thrilling. The bonchon was ok. Again nothing thrilling but passable. The meats though had phenomenal flavor. I asked for some lettuce fresh garlic and bean paste. They just don't have the paste. The have sesame oil on the table and they bring out a spicy sauce and a sweet soy sauce. It wasn't Gochujang or if it was it was watered down. The ventilation system is not good. They have a ton of vents up high but nothing at the tables so it gets super smoky in there. But he was amazing at changing the grill constantly for people which of course eliminates some smoke. We would definitely return for the meats and the service. read more

HI Roberta! Thank you for the review and the feedback you have…
Amazing food! Authentic, delicious, and very well-priced! I came here visiting from Miami, and I have to say that I am speechless because the food here is amazing! What surprises me also is that I came alone and would recommend coming in a group because they give you sooo much food! I highly recommend trying all the meats and the fried chicken kaarage. Cheese corn was heaven in a plate! Their chicken is also good! So juicy , not dry at all. Option B all the way! Server was nice. Sweet girl who made sure that I was happy with everything. If you come here you will not be disappointed. read more

This place is amazing!!! We went there at midnight and were all surprised by their food!!! At that time we wanted some fish cakes while they were out of stock, but the serving lady said she could take a look to see if the chef was available, and finally got us the plate that we wanted. The dining environment was great, and we really wish it could open at our living places. A 10 out of 10 experience!!! read more

We're visiting from DC and we were craving KBBQ- this definitely hit the spot! I think it compares or even better AYCE than the ones back at home. Lots of side order options including cheese corn and karaage. We got the option B and the price was so worth it because the meats were tasty and well seasoned! You don't really need extra sauces but if you did, it's a sweet soy sauce, gochujang sauce, and sesame oil- which are my favorite. Emily and another server (I didn't get her name) provided fantastic customer service. They were quick at getting our order, checking up on us, and refilling our drinks without us having to ask. We are recommending this place to our friends that visit Orlando! read more

So affordable so many options great quality. The cheese corn is so yummy and addicting. Service is great, they're open late and it's never really packed. The vibes are cool with the projector on the wall playing music videos. It's definitely a great eating experience. A hidden gem that needs more love. Satisfies my late night craving needs to the max! read more

Good food, incredible service, nice restaurant, and great price. Isabella was amazingly attentive, to no plastic dishes and bowls for hot food and glasses, from the ordering stage. I think the owner can give her a raise. They offered a bowl of hot soup for hot stone BiBimBab and even an extra bowl of rice. Spicy pork was too salty for me, and they replaced the dish with pain pork. Radish and seaweed side dishes tasted great as well. K pop running and K pop videos were projected on one wide wall entirely. Flowers on the other wall looked pretty as well. Clean bathroom as well. The price was very competitive compared to California. I hope they continue to provide good food and wonderful service. read more
