    pork katsu with sides and mango thai tea
    Catherine L.

    Located in a very unassuming strip mall, but it was recommended by so many people. It's right next to a Korean grocery store and a K-pop store, so you can definitely make a whole little trip out of the area. The pork katsu was HUGE and insanely crispy. Like, way bigger than I was expecting and somehow still perfectly crispy without feeling overly greasy. It also came with a bunch of side dishes, which I always appreciate because it makes the meal feel a lot more complete. The pork katsu was easily a 10/10 for me. I also tried the mango Thai tea, which was decent but not quite as impressive. I'd give that a 7/10. Overall, the pork katsu alone makes this place worth checking out. It's one of those spots that you might completely overlook because of the location, but then you're pleasantly surprised once you actually try the food. Definitely coming back for that katsu!

    Wow! This place is incredible. Definitely a mom and pop shop forsure. Mango lychee green tea & Thai tea was so yummy! - ordered the chicken katsu special and the curry sauce was a bit cold, but the katsu was great overall. - seafood beef tofu soup but unfortunately they forgot the meat so that was disappointing, but the soup was hot and delicious. - the side dishes like the radish was so tasty - the galbi with rice with seasoning was flavorful! We came at a good time because shortly after we ordered all the tables were taken. Price was pretty decent. I think around $90 for everything but totally worth it, and worth the wait I would say. Ambiance- Place was clean and spacious. Plenty of parking spots. When done with food, you would just put the trays back on the tray rack on the side.

    4.5 stars. I'm vegetarian, so i ordered the one vegetarian dish on the menu--Vegetable Soon Dubu. Ordering takes place at a kiosk when you first walk in the door. The soup came bubbling to the counter where I picked up the tray myself 10-15 minutes later. The Soon Dubu was delicious-full of shiitake mushrooms, onions, zucchini, and loaded with tofu and just the right spiciness. The kimchi was good, but I thought the amount of other side dishes was too little for the price ($17.99). The air conditioning wasn't working the day we went, but that's fine because restaurants are often too cold inside. I'm also happy this restaurant is open on Tuesdays--my day off. I will be back whenever I come to shop at Woo Sung Korean grocery store next door.

    This is my second time here and still did not disappoint. I took my fam with me, and they loved it! Look at that ginormous katsu! It was bigger than my hand. It was definitely good. I even asked for extra pickled radish & kimchi. Safe to say I couldn't finish my katsu so I took it home.

    I was skeptical about coming here because the reviews were mixed about the location, but I'm so glad I did! I have zero complaints about this meal and the service was 5 stars. There's a self order kiosk near the door which makes placing an order convenient and easy. Pictures are provided. The chicken katsu was perfectly crispy and beautifully presented. It came with a variety of sides, including salad, miso soup, sauce, kimchi, and radish. I really appreciated the versatility. I also enjoyed the curry and wish I had asked for an extra side of it. Overall I would come again. There's a market next to this area which is nice to check out. Give it a try!

    I enjoyed visiting here! It's cozy and really causal after ordering from the tablet. We tried the pork katsu curry and soondubu jjigae, and both were pretty good. The good sized cutlet came supperrr crispy and juicy! However I didn't really like the curry itself... it was ok but not as rich as I expected. I did enjoy the cabbage salad on the side. My soondubu stew came out boiling and the egg on the side which I was happy to see as other places crack it for you! It felt like it was lacking on some seasoning or salt, but overall decent. I think it's good if you're in the area but not worth the drive!

    Pork katsu udon

    Food 5/5 Service n/a Ambiance 4/5 I just want to start off by saying this is the best katsu curry in Orlando! We got the chicken katsu curry rice and pork katsu curry udon and they were phenomenal! Both katsus were hot and crispy off the fryer. The udon was soft and chewy perfection and there was a good portion of rice. The curry doesn't come with potatoes/veggies in it but it was rich and flavorful on its own. The drinks weren't anything mind blowing , but they weren't bad coming from a restaurant. The strawberry puree was delish! The food was pricey, but we both had leftovers so it was worth it to us since we got 2 meals out of it. You order off a kiosk when you enter, get a number, and pick up your food at the counter so service was n/a since we weren't "served" per se. It was a full house during lunch time but the food was well worth the wait. There wasn't an ambiance, it was a modest restaurant that serves quality food and I can't wait to try their tofu soups next!

    Chicken katsu curry
    Amy C.

    Yumee katsu has been on my list to try and I finally made it over for dinner. I ordered a chicken katsu curry. It came with a few small sides and some broth. Also ordered mango tea. The katsu was good. I would have liked more curry sauce cause I love sauce. The staff is very friendly and nice. The only bad thing would be the straws. They are biodegradable and super thin. It breaks easily when you are putting it through the top of the cup. Overall I had a good meal here.

    Thank GOODNESS for a katsu place to bless Orlando. I had a great experience going to Yumee Katsu on Thursday. It's self order at a kiosk with loads of options. Chicken Curry Katsu 4/5 Came with salad, miso soup and kimchi! So delicious. Curry wasn't over powering and the chicken was great! Picture on the menu doesn't do it justice. Employees were kind but super busy! They got everything out quickly and answered all the questions we had about the menu. The place itself is a little hidden in a shopping plaza I didn't recognize. The inside is large, clean with lots of space. The bathroom could have been cleaner, but overall was great!

    I was going through my Yelp recommendations and Yumee popped up. I love Korean food! The pictures others took made me hungry, and I needed an excuse to get something out haha. The location itself it gives a hole in the wall vibe, with some tables and chairs scattered around the dining room. You order at the kiosk and then pick up your food at the counter when your number is called. I got the chicken, Katsu curry and a small order of the soba . The meal is massive! The curry comes with a good portion of rice and a large chicken Katsu cutlet . With it comes a tempura, dipping sauce, dressed cabbage on the side and bonchon of kimchi and pickled radish, perfect palette, cleansers, and snacks! The soda came in a cold broth, and it was extremely refreshing and delicious, it reminded me of my time in Japan . The curry was perfect with a bit of sweetness and a hint of a chocolatey flavor, but with a savory base. The whole meal was perfect, and the service was wonderful, I will definitely be back. The portions were amazing for the price, which was not a wallet buster!

    I went to Yume Katsu and really enjoyed the food overall. I ordered the cheese katsu and the chicken katsu, and both were crispy, flavorful, and well-balanced. The texture was really satisfying and everything was nicely presented. The only downside was the side dishes -- they felt a bit limited in portion and variety, so the meal felt a little lighter than expected. It is a bit of a far drive for me, and while I liked it, I'm not sure I would drive across town just for it. I'd probably come back if I'm already in the area, but not go out of my way.

    This place was just okay! First let me start off with what threw me off the most: on all tables was a QR code saying they will give you a free beverage for a 4 star or higher review. Are all the high reviews on this place really honest or did they want a free beverage? We just came back from Japan where we ate plenty of Katsu and my husband wanted to take me out to surprise me as he saw good reviews on this place. We ordered on an iPad at the front door and prices were pretty high but we came far so that didn't stop us. He got chicken katsu and I got pork curry katsu. The restaurant was half full which made us feel like it was a good choice, but they must have been there because I think all foods are cooked one at a time it was so slow to get our food. I'd think it was fresher, but the curry was lukewarm and the rice was cold. There was heavy seasoning on the katsu and rice but no katsu sauce offered. The cabbage had a strange dressing on it served to us, it tasted like applesauce? Not sure where other reviews say no tipping because the iPad definitely had a section for tipping. Please note that they do not serve you here - you grab your drink from a cooler, you pick up your food at the counter and you place your dirty tray on their rack. For the price and the quality, I can't say we'll be back. Just a pre-heads up on the potentially unhonest reviews on here for an exchange of a free item, we wish we knew that before we came.

    Honestly really impressed with this katsu spot! It was a little pricier than I expected, but it also came with a lot more food than I expected! The fry on the katsu is so good, it's like light and crispy and not super bready. I really liked the assorted katsu but I wish it also came with the fish katsu so that you really can try a bit of everything. The shrimp katsu was a big favorite of mine too. Again the fry was amazing and the shrimp itself was so soft it all practically dissolves in your mouth. The curry is also really good. It tastes like grocery store curry but in a good way, like very homey and familiar. I also love all the side dishes. The pickled veggies and cabbage work so well in brightening the heaviness of everything. And I really loved the wasabi and salt on the katsu. The soup was also really good, and it had a bit of heat to it which was nice. Only things to note are that if you get the cheese katsu, make sure to eat it when it's hot. It's not as good when it cools. And also you order off kiosk which is all good and dandy, but it's so close to the door that once it starts getting busy in here, the entrance way gets so clogged full of people.

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.
