Mouthwatering Korean in Orlando

Kimchi Korean Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.3 (228) • $$

"I ordered take out and everything was fresh and delicious. This meal was no doubt made to order. The beef was tender, juicy and full of flavor with a hint of sweetness. The spicy beef bulgogi was mouth watering good! It had a kick but nothing crazy. If you like a little heat definitely get the spicy. Overall I'm glad we chose to explore this little hot spot in Oviedo."

Izzi Korean Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (155) • $$

"The food here is so good and the portions are a great size! If you eat in the restaurant you get complimentary soup. It's not available for takeout orders. We tried both of the soup options and they were delicious! The staff was super friendly and answered any questions we had about the menu items. The atmosphere and decor are fun and inviting. They have a screen in the dining area that plays kpop videos. We really enjoyed our first visit and we plan to try it again soon!"

K Cafe 407

★★★★☆ 4.1 (8)

"By far the best place for mango bingsu, the ice texture is soft and smooth, melts once it hits your mouth and the mango is the perfect sweetness. The size is enough for 2-3 people.Quick and friendly service and lots of seating for big or small group."

Shin Jung Korean Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (496) • $$

"I love coming to Shin Jung Korean, I use to come more before they be built but I'm happy to say the interior looks clean and new but the same set up, which is nice and familiar. I started with green tea which was much needed on this cold day. To eat we ordered fried beef dumplings which were very juicy and tasty. For dinner we had the beef bulgogi and kalbi short rib. The meat was very tender and loved all the sides, my favorite side was the cucumber kimchi. The service was ok but it was late so I'm assuming our waiter was tired, the food speaks for itself. She wasn't needed but never for anything I asked for. Overall, one of my favorite places for Korean."

Shen Tea

★★★★☆ 4.2 (59) • $

"We ordered delivery for Shen Tea and were very impressed. Shen Tea ordering let us choose a sweetness level (like most places do in store) and also let us know what the standard sweetness was so we knew what the go to was. We got a Thai milk tea and their peach fruit tea with mango boba! Both were so good. One drawback was the peach fruit tea was 1/3 full with literal half a canned peach which added flavor but also gave less tea. But overall both were delicious! We will definitely be back!"

BaBbi BaBbi Korean Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.5 (36)

"The first time I came to Babbi Babbi, I had a great experience. Today was very different.I brought home a "pork belly" kimbap and it was so funky, I spit it out and thew out the whole thing. The color of the meat was a gray-brown, which didn't look like pork belly at all. The texture was more like a very chewy, stringy beef, and the taste and smell were definitely giving old meat. Luckily, I had also ordered a bibimbap for lunch tomorrow, which I ended up eating for dinner. I was afraid to eat the bulgogi, but it ended up being fine. It would definitely be rated low on the bibimbap-I've-eaten scale.I've had two drastically different experiences here, but after taking a bite of kimbap with clearly bad meat, I won't be returning. The smell and taste are still haunting my senses."

Seoul Soon Tofu

★★★★☆ 4.1 (47) • $$

"This was my first time having soft tofu stew, and it did not disappoint. All the ingredients tasted fresh and it was full of flavor. This was exactly what I wanted on a chilly day. Located inside a market it was a convenient place to stop for lunch before grocery shopping. They were very nice when I ordered and even asked me what I wanted my spice level at. I would definitely order from here again."

Akasaka Sushi

★★★★☆ 4 (135) • $$

"Jin was an amazing server. He was very knowledgeable on the menu.We ended up getting a sushi boat, and although a bit pricey, it was delicious. The pork bao buns were amazing as well. The only thing I would change is the chopsticks. Being a somewhat pricey restaurant, I'd want non-wooden chopsticks. But that's a minor thing."

Maru Sushi & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.1 (208) • $$

"Excellent service and a very nice atmosphere. Restaurant has a sushi bar and plenty of tables for eating Sushi was pretty delicious and fresh with generous portions Recommend also getting the Korean Bulgogi pork. Yum."

Uncle Dendog’s

★★★★★ 5 (4)

"Delicious korean corn dogs. I was recommended this place from a foodie friend of mine and had to try it out. We got a OG Dendaddy and a Korean in Bogota and WOW. You can't go wrong with the OG but the korean in bogota was the perfect combination of flavors and textures with the potato crisps on top and gooey cheese with pickled veggies. They were so good we went back for seconds and tried the Little Ms. Piggy and that one was also amazing! Sad part is that I do not live near the area and am in Miami, but if I am in town again, this will be the first place I check out! The service was also amazing and the owner was super sweet. They did an amazing job with the idea and if I could give an extra star, it would be for this food truck!"

Pocha 93

★★★★★ 4.7 (39)

"A good spot! It was our first time going this last weekend and we will be back! The inside was decorated nicely so that it gave off a casual hangout dinner spot. There was a huge bar in the center and lots of table/booth seating. We started off with cocktails (Arise and Seoul-d Fashioned) which were both good but the Seoul-d Fashioned could have gone a little heavier with the gochujang (definitely just depends on your preferences though). We want to try the Soju next time! For food we tried a handful of different bar food choices. Everything was delicious but the wings were incredible!"

K-BOB Korean Street Food

★★★★☆ 4.1 (203) • $$

"I recommend! It's a quick service place that' has Korean food. At first I thought it was just the big corn dog situation but it's not! They have wings, Boba, bowls etc. I always do the bowl and they are very cool if you wanna leave stuff out or add stuff in. I love this place! It's very cute and instagramable inside!"

Korean Jumak

★★★★☆ 4.3 (24)

"I found out about this place from social media and am so glad I found it! It's definitely a mom and pop place with a local vibe. I went in for a late lunch and was the only table there. The server was very nice and their food was fresh and delicious. Their kimchi was so good, not only I got seconds, I also bought a container to go. I will definitely return to try other dishes!"

Joen Korean

★★★★☆ 4.3 (19)

"Hello Yelpers! Well, this weekend we tried out Joen Korean which is located in the Lotte Market. Location: This is in the Lotte Market so it is a small eatery with a small indoor eating area. However, this area is shared with other eateries in the food court. Joen seems to be family owed and possibly run. The young man who took our order was very nice.Service: The young man who took our order was super nice and even offered to help a customer in front of us charge his phone. You don't see that a lot these days, so a gesture of kindness was definitely nice to see. Anyway, we placed our order and waited about 20 mins. When our buzzer finally went off, he realized we were missing one of our orders. He apologized, reset our buzzer, and the order came out fairly quick. No complaints in service at all.Food: I ordered the beef bulgogi and my wife ordered the galbi. Both came with white rice and some small sides. Let's start with my order. The bulgogi had okay flavor and was drenched in oil/grease. For me this was definitely a 3 out of 5. The flavor wasn't bad, but what it sat in room away from that. The macaroni was good and I wish they would have not been so stingy with the helpings. Both meals came with a side of pickled cucumbers, artificial crab meat (plain), and radish. The crab meat was good, but what would have made it is if it had some flavor to it. Overall, I would not order mine again. For my wife's order, hers was definitely much better. The flavor was there and they were definitely not stingy with the portions. Her sides were the same and no better or worse. I would rate her meal a 4 out of 5. Now, overall, if you want Korean BBQ, I would suggest going to an authentic Korean bbq restaurant where the food is cooked in front of you and the sides are generous.Joen Korean wasn't bad, but it wasn't good. However, if you do decide to eat there, make sure to get the galbi. You won't be disappointed.Happy eats and travel adventures!"

Shen Tea - Winter Garden

★★★★☆ 4.4 (15)

"We did not get food so I can only comment on the drinks at Shen Tea in Winter Garden. This is a very cute, very kuwaii, very pink boba tea place that also serves food such as selection dumplings, Korean Corn Dogs, and Bahn Mi sandwiches. We were greeted right away when we walked in. I liked that Shen Tea has two sizes of their drinks, a medium and a large as most places only have one large size. I ordered the medium Passionfruit Fruit Tea with Mango popping boba. My husband usually gets Vietnamese coffee so was a bit overwhelmed by the coffee offerings. The server explained what each type of coffee was and then asked him what he liked best about the Vietnamese coffee. When he said the cream, she recommended the Yuan Yang coffee (like a Vietnamese coffee and whipped coffee combined). The drinks came out really fast and we will definitely be back. My tea was almost filled with popping boba which is nice as some places only give you a few."

Side Chik

★★★★★ 4.8 (10)

"BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK. So, let's get into it. Side Chik is in connection to ChiKin. It is a Mexican Korean fusion take on street food. You order at the counter on a touch screen monitor and pay there as well. We found a seat at a table on the Side Chik side. You can also sit on the ChiKin side if you wish, and the fountain drink machine is also located over there. We watched as our food was prepared. The cook had attention to detail, and our food came out so hot and fresh. He was very personable and spoke to us a bit, which was nice.We started with chips and queso. The chips had a good crisp, and the queso was very creamy. I ordered the 2 tacos with one being the soy garlic carnitas and the other being hot honey bbq shrimp. Both I had topped with lettuce, pickled onions, and salsa and sour cream on the side. The tacos were FILLED with meat. For an order of just 2 tacos, they were very filling. The flavors were amazing. My friend got the soy garlic carnitas quesadilla, which was massive. He raved about the cheese used and how creamy that also was. The quesadillas could easily feed 2 people.Thank you for your great food and service!"

"I came here couple times before in the past and remembered enjoying it and still lives up to my expectations keep up the great work!"

The Neighborhood Eatery

"Best chicken Philly in Orlando : fight me !No, I'm not from Philly but I know what a delicious, captivating and addictive sandwich tastes like and this is, that!Just Mandu It!"

BaBbi BaBbi Korean Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (380) • $$

"BaBbi BaBbi Korean Kitchen is a true gem! The food here is incredibly fresh, delicious, and served in generous portions - consider that a friendly warning. We ordered the hot bowl bibimbap, galbi, and pork mandu, and everything was flavorful and satisfying.One thoughtful touch is that they bring a bottle of water to your table when you order, which adds to the relaxed dining experience. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between modern and traditional Korean, with monitors on the back wall playing Korean group bands - a fun and cultural touch.The servers were friendly, efficient, and polite, ensuring that our meal was seamless from start to finish. At the end of the meal, we were pleasantly surprised with a little bottle of yogurt juice - such a sweet way to end a fantastic meal.If you're looking for fresh, healthy, and flavorful Korean food with great service, BaBbi BaBbi is a must-visit!"

Joen

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (46) • $$

"Ok, I have only tried Joen this once and only tried the bibimbop, but oh man. A warning this bowl comes out piping hot. Like you could heat a small NYC apartment with the heat coming off this bowl. Tip: ask for another bowl that you can transfer the food into; or you will be waiting a very long time before it is cool enough to eat. Make sure you get the crispy rice that will be stuck to the bottom of the super hot bowl, as this is flavor rice. The gochujang comes on the side so you can add as much or as little as you like. I personally like spicy and could probably have asked for more gochujang. There is a delightful little banchan that comes with your meal and of course a small container of kimchi. You will not be left hungry either. The portion is quite sizable and I left much tastiness behind. There were several other menu items that looked pretty yummy and I have plans to go back and they those as well."

Sizzling Korean BBQ & Hot Pot

★★★★☆ 3.9 (57) • $$$

"I have reviewed it before and will again. I used to come here a lot and needed a break due to my own financial reasons and my taste buds (i came multiple times a week) Well I am back and it's gotten better. Service is always good but the broth has gotten better! The broth is more flavorful and we enjoy it quite a bit. Owner is always nice and attentive. Will be back a lot again!"

Korea House Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.3 (366) • $$

"If you're ever in Longwood and crave Korean food, I suggest you make a stop at Korea House. My experience was excellent! Between the super friendly staff, the owner and her husband and the delicious food; I couldn't have asked for better dining experience.I have always been a big fan Korean food and when my friend was visiting we decided to check the restaurant out.Before I start diving into my review I have to point out that they have opened a new bar next door to the restaurant.To start we ordered the wings! They were fried to perfection and mild enough for me. I ordered the Dolsot Bibimbap which is basically rice with mixed vegetables, beef and an egg. It comes in a cast iron that kept the dish hot the whole time we ate. The owner was gracious enough to demonstrate and mix my dish and spiced it up a little. The rice was a bit spicy in the end (I don't eat hot food) for me but super delicious. It is a lot of food so I suggest you come with an appetite and stretchy pants. All jokes aside, the food at Korea House is really amazing and will definitely be back in the near future."

bb.q Chicken Dr. Phillips

★★★★☆ 4 (48)

"I feel like I'm always craving Korean wings and these did not disappoint! We got 2 large buckets (24 pcs each) of the garlic soy and honey garlic as well as a spicy rice noodle dish that was really good! My husband got the golden boneless wings and cheese sticks and he thought the chicken was a bit spicy (though he can't handle spice lol), but he thought the cheese sticks were good. We got the order to go and called it in. When we arrived it wasn't ready yet, but the wait wasn't too long. There were a few people inside, but it was quiet and there was seating if you decided to eat in.It was a lot of food for 8 people, but they were delicious and crispy fresh (even after a decent car ride home) and reheating these wings in an air fryer was so yummy! We were all so hungry so we ate right away and I forgot to take pictures!We came here while we were visiting family, but I'd definitely get this again next time we're in town! :)"

Korean Gogi Grill

★★★★☆ 4.1 (370) • $$$

"Came here with my family after Universal. The decor was nice and quaint. When I go to Korean places, I compare it to my Mother's home cooking. I was born in Seoul (Seoul girl) so I'm picky about my Korean food. I ordered the Kimchi fried rice. I didn't feel like cooking my own meat so I kept it simple. Kimchi was delicious and fresh 8/10. The noodles were pretty good. We didn't have any bonchon but other tables and it looked good. It was sorta late so we didn't stay long but I would definitely come back and try more things the next time I'm in town."

Star Korean BBQ

★★★★☆ 4 (305) • $$

"Family owned restaurant and they are the nicest people in Orlando! I found this place during COVID (2021) and any time I want comforting Korean food I come here. Their food is always so flavorful and if you love spicy then just let them know you want the authentic heat level. Otherwise it will be very mild. I enjoy coming here and every time I have had something different. I know you can do the BBQ but I have not done that yet. I've only ordered a la carte items."

BBB Tofu House

★★★★★ 4.7 (305) • $$

"Whenever I'm feeling the craving for some good Korean food but don't want to stuff myself with an AYCE Kbbq... I come here! Located in west colonial "China Town" strip mall, it has become our family's go-to and have been coming for years! I'm so late writing this.They have the best Soon Tofu soup! I usually get the galbi version and when I'm feeling extra, I'll get it with the ramen. It's so comforting and delicious. My other favorite order is the Dolpan Kimchi Bokkeum Bap. Kimchi fried rice served table side in a sizzling plate with cheese! It's big enough to share. I like to let it sit a bit to get the rice and cheese a little crispy. The staff is super friendly and love to see Kevin, the chef and owner pop his head out and greet us! Everyone makes us feel like we are eating at their home with their warm hospitality. Even enjoy the Kpop music on the TV. We love coming to this China town plaza and love eating at BBB Tofu!"

Chi-Kin

★★★★☆ 4.3 (551) • $$

"Chi-Kin has been on my list for ages, thanks to my brother hyping it up, and I finally had the chance to try it with him. As big fans of Korean fried chicken, this spot was a must-visit, and it absolutely delivered!I ordered the chicken tenders in sweet gochujang sauce, with a side of white rice and kimchi, and WOW. The crispiness of those tenders was next-level, probably some of the best I've ever had. This was my first time trying sweet gochujang sauce, and it was such a pleasant surprise--sweet, tangy, and just the right amount of heat. Since that meal, I can't stop craving chicken tenders with rice instead of fries. The combination of crispy tenders and soft rice was perfect, and the freshness of the kimchi added just the right bite to bring everything together.The service was also on point! Our server was super friendly and knew it was my first visit, so he walked me through the menu and helped me pick the best sauce for my tenders. The prices were great too, with most menu items under $15 or even $10, unless you're going for a family meal. Quality and quantity? Absolutely worth it.The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the ambiance. The place is very plain, dark, and a bit cold, with metal tables and chairs and minimal decor. I personally prefer a more upbeat, cozy vibe when I'm eating out, but that's just my taste.Overall, Chi-Kin is a must-try if you're a Korean fried chicken lover! I can't wait to come back and explore more of the menu."

Nifty's Korean BBQ & Ramen

★★★★☆ 4.4 (168) • $$

"Between the friendly service and home like ambience. This is a wonderful spot to come and get a quick bite or on a first date. The food for the flavor on abundance of items on the menu and very kind polite and friendly lady. That I believe is co owner. I would highly recommend this place if you are downtown in Orlando. It is tucked away inside one of the movie theater on the first floor but it is most definitely worth the drive. And experience. The ramen and bowls are fire!!"

K-BBQ & Bar

★★★★★ 4.6 (115)

"Pricing is great for an all-you-can-eat option. I think they present solid offerings based on the price point. We - 2 of us - had Bulgogi, Galbi and pork belly. If we visit again, we would probably just stick to Bulgogi. For the sides you order we had egg, dumplings, and bibimbap. If we returned, I'd probably still order the bibimbap, but explore other options. There is also a full fixings bar with other sides, sauces, fried rice and Miso soup available. Unfortunately I didn't realize there was soup or rice available, so did not get to try it. I think your server can really set the tone for a good or bad experience. There were several servers who were working and while one server seemed very disinterested and almost cold, the other server was extremely helpful, cheery and made several suggestions that enhanced our meal. This restaurant is very large, and - as the sign says - would be great for large parties. I would definitely visit again now that I have a better understanding of their offering and structure."

Bao Houz

★★★★☆ 4 (1)

"Tried the Bao Houz, a cute little food truck at the Sanford Food Truck Fiesta for the first time, and they were delicious! All the ingredients were fresh. Perfect ratio between the protein, toppings and the bread. The service was friendly. Would totally recommend!"

KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot - Universal Studios

★★★★☆ 3.7 (92)

"Yet another solid place for AYCE Korean BBQ and Hot Pot. Very spacious restaurant with plenty of seating. Servers were friendly and quick to keep your drinks filled and to check to see if you need reorders and to bring your orders out. The food itself was solid. Lots of meat and vegetable options. The meat was well seasoned and the non marinated meats were also tender and well marbled. I also enjoyed how the buffet bar had a variety of side dishes you can get, along with appetizers. Some items include pickles, kimchi, and fried chicken wings. All in all, solid experience :)"

Chi-Kin

★★★★☆ 4.4 (17)

"This place was bomb. The HOT Gochujang does get hot by the end but don't be a wuss. Tteokkbokki was delicious too. Good stuff here guys. Service was awesome too. Only advice, stop the profanity on the music. Kind of prevents families with kids coming in. If that isn't the clientele you want, then keep it rockin!"

92 Chicken

★★★★★ 4.8 (169) • $$

"Ambiance: While the big parking lot looks very odd with the parking spots all over the place, the inside of the location looks like a regular mom & pop place. It's very clean. It looked nice inside. Food: the food was great. We ordered through the kiosk and it came out faster than other Korean chicken places around Orlando. The price was good and love places with combo meals. The chicken had a lot of flavor and it was extra crispy, which I love. The fries didn't stay warm for long so I was sad about that. Service: They were very nice and we got our food in a good amount of timeI would recommend."

Sogongdong & K-BBQ

★★★★☆ 4.1 (25)

"Incredibly friendly service and unlimited small plates while you wait.. and you don't wait long. The restaurant is incredibly clean(including the washrooms) and the service was so helpful and friendly. We visited right after lunch rush so it was quiet. Everything was delicious and incredibly filling. This Korean establishment is definitely a hidden gem. Found in the parking lot of Lotte, it's a great place to fill up so you don't overspend at the grocery afterwards:)"

Kai Asian Street Fare

★★★★☆ 4.1 (14)

"Kai Asian Street Fare at the Food Factory in Oviedo is where I had probably one of the best chicken wings I have ever eaten! Just super crunchy outside and juicy inside. I knew their original location in Casselberry was awarded Best Wings from either Orlando Weekly or Sentinel over the last few years, and they definitely lived up to the hype. We had the Soy Garlic, since I was not in the mood for a lot of heat at lunch, but I think we will try some of the other flavors next time. We also had a Cucumber Ginger Salad. It was nice and flavorful as well. I need to do a deep dive on the menu. I know they were winners of one of the original Ramen Rumbles, so I would expect that to be excellent as well! Looking forward to returning soon!"
