“Took wife for 10-course Chef’s table experience. It was pricey but worth it. Was very nice to almost have restaurant to ourselves with direct contact with head chef and staff. We were able to get explanations of every dish and share experiences. We enjoyed seeing staff respond to our great experience. Still talking about the skill, artistry, and flavors. We also enjoyed sake flight with dinner. Only issue were Chairs were a little uncomfortable for time spent at long dinner. Wish there was more back support.“

“What a great new addition to the already crowded KBBQ scene in Central Florida. What sets this place apart is the food itself and the service. First, the food… extremely well marinated and everything was on point from the kimchi pancake to the side dishes and of course, the meats themselves. Second, the service stood out the most. Jason our server was extremely personable, helpful and just overall a good guy. He led us the entire meal providing recommendations and even made sure our meats were never overcooked. This is rare in other KBBQ places these days. The rest of the staff was also great, clearing off dishes immediately and filling our cups as soon as they see it getting low.I think I found my new go-to KBBQ in Orlando! Highly recommend the experience and worth every penny.“

“Fantastic Korean restaurant I have ever been to. Food was A1, service was A1 & restaurant is clean. We were visiting family in Clermont & they took us to this place & Iam usually critical but I was very pleasantly surprised by this place. 5 stars !!“

“The service was great, and the restaurant's atmosphere was welcoming. However, the food didn't quite meet my expectations. I was looking forward to enjoying a traditional Vietnamese garlic noodle bowl, but what I received was closer to spaghetti noodles in garlic sauce. While the tofu served alongside was flavorful, the noodles themselves were dry and tough, an unfortunate mismatch for the delicate balance of Asian flavors. This surprising choice of noodle was a letdown. It left me wondering, why choose spaghetti noodles for an Asian-inspired dish?“

“I love the family that runs this eatery. Their story, covered by the Orlando Sentinel, is posted on the wall along with a family photo. The Daddy smiled as he welcomed me and pointed out there are photos of the menu items on the wall. Their son manned the register and was super nice too, big smiles and chatting with my husband and asking his favorite Kdramas. He could tell my hubby wanted to talk. I think that’s why my husband ordered extra mandu, because the son was so nice to him!Mommy is pretty and she’s bought a lot of plants for the front windows. She has a sense of humor too, seen in the tongue-in-cheek signs (“Yes, I do need all these plants,” and the cat signs in the bathroom).Now for the food. It’s amazing!!! I had the bibimbap which came with the separate toppings that you mix yourself. The last time I had bibimbap this good was in SoCal. Here the bibimbap was a bit better because of the rice mixture base. I ordered their house-made kimchi on the side. It didn’t have sugar in it and it was well-seasoned.My husband said the mandu was “outstanding!” It was crispy on the outside and the filling tasted like ground pork, a bit of ginger, finely grated carrot, garlic and maybe sesame oil. It came with a sweet garlicky soy-based sauce. They had canned boba drinks in the fridge displayed near the register. My husband got the passion fruit apple drink with popping boba and he liked it.All in all highly recommended!A regular from the neighborhood came in just ahead of us and ordered for dine in. The son said to him, “You’re hungry tonight!” and the customer agreed; I guess they ordered more than they usually do. The customer ate the meal at the next table and we all enjoyed the colorful lights, plants and homey atmosphere of the dining area.“

“We visit before and even though we liked the food we have really bad experience with a rude lady that used to be a server! Yesterday i took the risk because i liked the place and food and I'm amazed! the new guys serving are so sooooo nice ! From the call to make the reservation (we were a big group of 13 to celebrate my daughter’s 16th bday) until the last detail of the dinner itself was an amazing experience! Joe help us so much and the other guys don’t remember the names but they were all so helpful and nice! Well done ??“

“The building it’s a little run down but don’t let that discourage you from coming in. They had a great happy hour deal and the food was fresh and delicious, we got the an option which was the most basic one but had everything we needed. The grills do take a while to heat up but if you do small batches the food cooks faster.Server was very attentive and always making sure we had everything we needed. They’re also open until late so that’s a plus. I will definitely come back. Highly recommend if you don’t care about the aesthetics ( at the end of the day your not eating the building).“

“If I'm ever critical about any food it is Korean Food. My Mom is from Korea and I've been eating different Korean dishes since I was really young. I have to say that this place is the best place to eat besides my Moms. Its authentic as it gets. I strongly recommend you try this restaurant whenever you're in the area.“

“The price was great for all you can eat Korean barbecue!! I was surprised at the various options at the buffet like marinated beef ribeye, ribs, oyster, and snowcrab. The food was amazing and our waitress was so nice. The mango milk tea was so addicting to drink. The only con is that was one of the dish underneath the buffet was dirty and one was still wet. Other than that, the experience was great and I would recommend the restaurant to others.“

“Great place for large groups. Our family had plenty of room while still receiving perfect service and assistance on menu items.The only reason for a 4 in the atmosphere section was the close seating with other tables. Some people may not like that.“

“We visited with Shen Tea today in a group of 6. The atmosphere was very cute and colorful. The decor feel the building to bring happiness. It’s a great place for a little tea and socializing. We order several item on the menu including Fruit teas and Korean hot dogs and also shakes. I must say for the small amount of money you pay it was worth it. The teas are very tasteful and includes fresh fruits, and the corn dogs are delicious as well. It was well worth the visit. Our special needs clients enjoyed this outing. Spread peace and love! Happy Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month! ????❤️“

“The owner is wonderful. I’ve tried almost every flavor of ramen and so far I can’t pick a favorite they have all been amazing. My favorite kimchi in central Florida! Casual spot. Take out and small groups are great. Fun decor. Must try in “

“Omg i loved it there!!! Mr Kim was the best and he recommended so many good things. We had the best time. I totally recommend if you’re looking for a place to hang out and eat with friends and family. Atmosphere was perfect and so was the food!“

“The cashier welcomed us and were super nice. The food was AMAZING I had kimchi fries best fries I’ve ever had. I also had tenders and they were so good super crunchy and perfectly spicy. 10/10 service and 10/10 food. Definitely gonna recommend this place to my friends and family!!“

“This restaurant provides an incredible experience every time. Gina is so kind, full of life, and ready to serve. The food is always outstanding - there isn't anything on the menu I don't like - and the chef always pays a visit to make sure everything was tasting good. I wasn't initially a fan of Korean food, but after coming here the first time, I've visited at least once a month ever since! Can't say enough positive things about this place. Be sure to give it a try!“

“Omg I love this place so much! their food never disappoints and the workers are always so sweet! Sometimes it's hard to find a seat cause there are other food places In the same food court so definitely try coming not around lunch time or rush hour lol!“

“Black Sesame Bingsu ?It was a unique, fun try to share with my dad, who has a love of shaved ice, on a recent visit. This dessert is milky shaved ice with 2 layers of roasted black sesame powder, condensed milk, cereal, injeolmi (korean rice cake), and topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Definitely big enough to share.Pretty lake views. Plenty of parking.“

“This is a food court type place in a shopping market. So no waiters or anything like that. You order and pay, get a mini buzzer and when your food is ready, you get buzzed. They have a great variety on their menu and their offerings with each meal was great. I got the pork bone soup and it was phenomenal, even though it’s labeled as spicy, it’s not unbearable if you are new to asain spice. Worth a try! Huge portions for the price!!“

“Service was just as good as the food. I came through this spot a couple months ago with my friend and we've been dreaming about the ribs ever since. I almost forgot I didn't leave a review cause the food was so good it still feels like it was yesterday.“

“Cute little spot, I order the soup added Jumbo Shrimps for $2.00. It was alright just got 3 shrimps added. The soup was okay it’s was spicy and had mushrooms. We bought bobas the strawberry swirl was delicious the brown sugar tasted like cold coffee.“

“Everything was hot and crunchy/crispy. The sauces I tried were delicious. It is not as good as the fried chicken from Koreatown in Los Angeles as far as placement goes. The sides were all cooked perfectly as far as Im concerned. This is a contender for being a super legit KFC. Service was great. Thank You.“

“Celebrated my aunts birthday last week. The food is amazing and a lot for 49.99 per head for eating all you can. The best thing is to order what you can eat or else you'll pay double. This place restaurant has zero waste policy, which is the right thing to do..“
