“Juno's Sushi-Steak and Seafood is a local restaurant in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. It is located directly across Uptown Station. They offer Korean BBQ, Japanese influenced dishes and more. My visit was like two years ago, so I want to go back to have a more up to date experience. I remember the food being good and pretty expensive. However, there went any other Korean BBQ spots around at the time I visited. I think Juno's is a great spot for a date. It's calm inside and there is a lot of seating for parties of many sizes. The service was nice! I think I chat with Juno himself and he is a vibrant and hardworking boss!“

Highly recommend ❤️Parking: There is plenty of parking here. Sometimes when it is in the Summertime parking is harder to get a spot. Usually doesn't take long because people are leaving periodically.“
