    Pork backbone soup
    Daniel S.

    Flavor: just came back from S. Korea and this helped hit the spot eating the pork backbone soup on a rainy day. full-flavored and great kimchi they make, so of course had to buy some to-go. Fresh / "homemade" kimchi has a particular flavor different from mass-packaged. Highly recommend if you are into kimchi. Service: easy counter-service Location & Parking: Inside Lotte there is a food mart, this is one of the options. Lotte parking can be full sometimes, but you'll find a spot. Free parking. Price: big soups and bowls for less than $15... I split one meal with my wife and was great. Is it whats up? yeh totally

    My favorite spot in the lotte food court. All the dishes I've tried over the years have been solid. They are more generous with the banchan than other similar spots there and seem to change the selection frequently. I also appreciate that they give metal spoons instead of plastic.

    The Lotte Market food court is one of my fave places In Orlando and I've tried a variety of things from Joen's menu by now all of which were delicious. My fave dish though has got to be the seafood ramen - I saw someone eating it and it smelled so good I had to ask them what it was! Ordered a bowl for myself and was not disappointed - great array of seafood, good noodles, and just the best broth.

    When you visit lotte make sure to stop by their foodcourt and visit this place! like seriously I walk into the foodcourt before and not pay attention to this food stall because its the first stall when you walk into the foodcourt and I always missed it for some reason my attention is always on the other ones so yes check them out! Its my second time trying out their food and it was the best. I got their spicy seafood bibimbap and it was so delicious. It has this spicy sauce and they mix it with rice, green onions, squid and clams. They give you good amount of free side dish as well with soup, kimchi and many more. One dish you can even share it but I always finish mine by myself. I Highly recommend this place!

    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!

    Spicy Pork Bulgogi
    Amy C.

    Stopped in for dinner with my son while picking up groceries. My son ordered a spicy pork bulgogi and I ordered the galbi tang soup. Both entrees came with rice and sides. The pork came with a small bowl of chicken soup. The entrees were both delicious. Macaroni salad was a little on the greasy side. All the other sides were good. The portions were good sized as well. We both have leftovers for lunch. Price was reasonable. About 30 bucks for both of us.

    Kimchi
    MY V.

    Ordered from here through Door Dash and I got the shredded beef with clear noodles. It was packaged well and didn't spill. The soup was pretty decent and had a nice spice to it. Enjoyed the veggies in the soup. There was a side of Kimchi and it was decent as well. I also got the kimchi pancake and wish it was crispier. I think the kimchi made it a bit soggy, which wasn't enjoyable.

    Located inside an Asian market called lotte. I had the beef bibimbap number 9, it was not bad! Came in a hot stone pot, serving size was decent. Came with three sides. It can get busy in the food court. Place was very clean.

    I've been visiting Joen for literal years and it's become a real problem lately because I crave their Galbi once a week. I feel at this point they know me and may even expect me to visit. Their banchan (side dishes) are some of the best I've tried, I even order extra most of the times I stop by. The service is always great and the food always tastes fresh and delicious. I've attached photos of my meals over the years and there are still many visits I did not take a picture. It is honestly my favorite galbi and japchae I've tried. I've even visited Seoul South Korea for my 30th birthday two years ago and it was very similar. I look forward to continuing to visit this location and highly recommend it! It's always clean and I prefer to go early because it's less busy. It's located inside of Lotte supermarket and there's usually plenty of parking available. Also if you dine in sometimes they have this beef broth that tastes absolutely amazing.

    Bulgogi bibimbap
    Tee L.

    We don't have anything like Lotte in my town so I was looking forward to shopping and snacking at the little restaurants inside. We got Galbitang and bulgogi bibimbap. Food was quick and very good. My bibimbap was served in a stone bowl and never seemed to cool down so I burned my mouth in that it-was-so-worth-it way. The fresh egg cracked was perfectly cooked by the time I put in my sauce. The Galbitang/Kalbitang was delicious. The food is great quality and service is quick if you want a quick lunch/dinner. They are still doing construction inside Lotte so it's not a great atmosphere but it's a food court feel and quick service so I enjoyed it. I will come back next time I'm in town.

(Also there had been a point where one of my favorite K-Pop groups had done catering from this restaurant while here on tour, so I was curious to see if this place was as good as it seemed.) Recently, a few friends of mine were interested in trying it for a late lunch/early dinner one Saturday, so we met up and grabbed a table here. It is a small establishment, but the team does a good job keeping the tables moving and fulfilling the orders and requests, so parties aren't waiting forever. There is a small lot to the left of the restaurant and you can always do street parking. Avoid the lot between the restaurant and the martial arts school - chances are, you could be towed if you park there. The restaurant offers set menus for a price or you may order a la carte if you prefer. My group of 5 did a la carte and chose a couple of meats to grill up and a kimchi pancake to enjoy as a shared appetizer. The banchan are included in your meal, but we did clarify/ask for specific items, as we had a lot of things being placed on our table at once and didn't want to run out of room. The plates of a la carte meats are not tiny - you get a lot for what you pay for. Staff were attentive and polite - checking to make sure we had enough water, banchan, or a grill top change. Food was delicious and flavors were balanced. One of the girls who was with us had never had Korean food before and enjoyed her experience trying everything. At the end of the meal, with the a la carte meats, kimchi pancake, and some alcoholic drinks, we ended up at a little under $50 per person once we split the tab. Not bad for a more premium K-BBQ experience for a group of 5. Definitely would come back with my parents in the future.

For this night we arrived at 5:45pm, right before the dinner rush hit. We did the Bite30 menu and between the 2 of us we had the deep fried beef dumplings, the buldak (spicy chicken), the Korean bbq combo, beef tongue, and for dessert we had the bungeopang and the hotteok. Everything was so delicious! Our waiter, Andy, was really really sweet and basically cooked the first tray of bbq for us and told us how he likes to use the banchan. He and my husband, who is Spanish, chatted about struggling to eat their culture's food growing up, which made me feel a little better about ordering my kid's chicken nuggets. We basically let him choose all of our food and he was spot on with all of his recs. If you can sit in Andy's section when you come, you must!!

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.

Shortly afterward, the manager, Kareem, came to our table and simply stared at me without saying a word. I politely asked whether Sylvia had passed along our request, and he responded rudely by saying, "No, this is the policy, and if you don't like it, you can leave. That's life." To be clear, we understand that businesses have policies, and we respect that. What bothered us was not the decision itself but the hostility and lack of professionalism. I was polite throughout the interaction, and had the response been delivered respectfully, we would have gladly stayed. Instead, we decided to leave without eating. I also want to emphasize that Sylvia was extremely kind and professional. Unfortunately, the interaction with the manager left a very negative impression. This location should do a better job of training its staff in customer service and professionalism.
