    The vibe was cool. K-pop videos on the wall. The food was delicious. The service was friendly and we were greeted promptly. Loved the radishes. So crunchy.

    It was pretty packed on Sunday night from crowds who came from the nearby Convention Center. It seem like they were understaffed because the wait was longer than usual. However our waiter was very apologetic and tried to serve us as soon as she could. As for the meats they were pretty good considering this is AYCE. My favorite was the brisket and sweet corn. It tasted pretty authentic as well. Def give this place a try on a day when they are less busy.

    So we accidentally stumbled upon this spot after a full day of shopping at the Vineland Outlets. We were starving and a bit cold so we decided to check this place out! Located in a plaza next to Escapology and TwentyPho... there was plenty of parking and easy access from the main road. Upon entering we were greeted and seated almost immediately. The restaurant had plenty of seating and was spacious. I thought it was cute that they were projecting KPop music videos on the walls which was a nice touch. For food, even though there were cost efficient AYCE options...we actually decided to order a la carte instead since we weren't trying to eat so much late at night. We had the Seafood Pancake, U Turn Chicken Wings, Garlic shrimp, Dolsot BimBimbap and tofu stew. I would say the stand out dishes were definitely the Seafood Pancake and Tofu Stew. Both of those dishes had great flavors and were great for sharing! The other items were good but didn't really stand out as much, I would probably skip those next time. Overall, I had a good experience at U Turn Korean BBQ. The service was great and the food came out pretty quick. If I were around the area, I wouldn't mind stopping by again to try their other dishes.

    I have been wanting to come here for awhile and I finally got to try this place! The inside is so cool and they have Kpop videos playing on the walls. The staff here were so nice and helpful explaining the menu. We ordered a lot of food! The quality of the meat here is unmatched. This is the best Kbbq I have ever been to hands down. Such good flavor and good cuts of meat. They kept coming by as well so you never feel like you have to wait to put in another order. Our favorite was the pork belly. The Bibimbap here was soo good! I find a lot of other places taste bland but this one was delicious and flavorful! If you love Kbbq you have to come here!! I cannot wait to come back here!

    Absolutely the best Korean bbq I've had. The price is amazing for all you can eat. From the hot fried appetizers to the kimchi and other side dishes. Everything was delicious and flavorful. The variety of options you have is amazing. The place wasn't super busy for a weekend evening, I was surprised. The quality of the food was top notch. Service was also just as amazing as the food. Jesse was our server and he was phenomenal. He was very attentive and always made sure we had everything we needed. He was also juggling the other 5 tables in the restaurant. He was great! Can't wait to go back. Our meal was great

    We got the a set and I honestly was a little disappointed. To start, the side dishes: bean sprouts seemed to be blanched for too long and also lacked any seasoning, making it taste like soggy grass. The house salad had a mayo based dressing which isn't what we except when coming for Korean food. Kimchi tasted off with no refreshing, fermented and crunchy taste, just spicy and slightly soggy again. As for the meats, I liked the portioning as it's perfect for two people. It's about 6 large pieces per meat option. The meats seemed to be good quality but I didn't prefer the marinades as it was too sweet (spicy pork sauce was my favorite of the 3 we tried). Also, the meat itself was cut too thickly (particularly the brisket), making it harder to chew compared to the melt in your mouth brisket that's served elsewhere. Overall, I would not return as there's much better kbbq in Orlando for the same price. Glad to have stopped by and tried it out though!

    This place was excellent! Our server John was helpful and responsive to our near continuous requests for something. The place was a little questionable because of the continuous loop of k-pop band videos on the walls but, when the service and food is this good, you ignore the weird stuff. I'm sure there are folks in Orlando who love K-pop. It seems like that era of N'Sync, O-Town, and Britney Spears that my whole generation would like to forget. Get the all you can eat B-Menu and set a fast pace so you get value for your dollar. Even the soup, salad, and appys were tasty. The star are the meats you cook yourself. We had a bunch (see the pics). Everything we had was very very good. I think it is even a little better than Gyu-Kaku - for those who have been to similar places in Orlando. This is going on our list of regular O-Town haunts.

    Awesome! Korean bbq... so good! Waiter was great #7!!!! He was the man thank you! First time not busy but should be

    Wow We went to get late night Pho after college softball games on a Monday night and celebrating our daughter MVP on both games. Right next door was U Turn so we jumped on some AYCE! Really glad we did. Emily was our server and she was a jovial hard working young Lady from Hong Kong that was so helpful at helping my wife find a better drink (sparking Yuzu that was expensive but good!) Another item I don't usually care for but would drink myself. I got a big Korean Terra beer that's familiar to me. We got the AYCE A which was less at $35 each but had great normal choices and the rice, lettuce, ban chan, and a beef broth soup. Soup was good but not that special. The ban Chan was excellent yet simple at only 6 varieties. Who fills up on that at buffet? Well I kind of do but didn't miss the usual big variety a bit. The lettuce fresh and plentiful and the meats and prawns really nicely prepared. Smaller portions but it kept coming from Emily and her co workers. Garlic slices too to char on the grill!! What stood out here from ANY Korean bbq I've been to was the scene.... When we arrived it was of course a Monday night at 9:30 but it was full of K-pop girl band videos and three huge projection whole wall screens and a 20 plus office group from the local LG Electronics partying with food, beer, and Yuzu like it was New Year's Eve! Very vibrant scene. $2k plus bill! Admittedly calm after they left and hoping they had designated drivers. They spent a lot of time unwinding en mass in the parking lot when we we were leaving. Other Koreans still coming in when we were finishing. They are relatively new and think they will do quite well! Odd staff as usually only Koreans usually hired at these places but this was a fantastic service staff and multi racial. We would go back here again when we are here again for sure! Thanks Emily!

    A really good Korean bbq place! Got the B section for higher price. My friends and I loved the la galbi and angus chuck. It came with broth that was pleasant in taste for our palates. Ordered rice, cheese corn, karaage and gyozas as sides. All were delicious. We also made it in time for happy our! $3 beers, can't beat that. Our waiter was nice and helpful. Overall, a good experience

    Stumbled into here sort of spur of the moment. Was pleasantly surprised. The hostess/server was very nice and my father who has every food allergy under the sun was accommodated by the kitchen. The spicy cucumber side was a favorite and I really appreciated the server bringing a new grill top each round of meat. It helped keep the smoke down and the normal Korean bbq smell down to a minimum also! I also loved the K-pop music videos playing on the walls.

We got the "two meats and two sides" combo. We also learned that the lemonade and fruit punch come with refills.

They really make great homemade drinks here. The coleslaw was fantastic, and the green beans were cooked perfectly with great flavor. I had sliced brisket and pulled pork with both the house sauce and tangy sauce. Everything was delicious! The more we ate, the more we wanted to come back and try the rest of the menu. I also got the chicken breast with collard greens and mac and cheese. I'm saving some for tomorrow, but I already know it's going to be amazing!

That was a sweet win. I also tried their Frisco fries, and they were decent, but I wouldn't rush back just for those. The ambience is really laid-back. It's like any regular barbecue place. I saw at least 3 to 4 tables of people sitting down and enjoying their barbecue and they seem to have a steady stream of traffic. The cashier who is also getting our food order together seemed really nice. She had a great personality. I honestly don't feel the need to go back and visit again.

    This is Oviedo's hidden treasure! The brisket is amazing (seriously - 4 Rivers and Bubbalou's…read moreshould be worried). It just fell apart in your mouth and had such a delicious flavor. I had the smaller bowl (1 meat and 2 sides) and it was enough to feed me for 2 meals. OMG the beans! There were 3 or 4 types of beans in it and it was incredibly hard to not gobble them all down instead of saving some for my hubby to try at home.

Darn. So I decided to eat my pulled pork sandwich at the picnic tables outside. Actually the tables are not that far from the road where cars and trucks whizzed by. I went back and asked for more bbq sauce because I got two small cups of bbq sauce which had about 3 tablespoons of liquid each. Pulled pork always sucks up a lot of sauce. There was plenty of meat and the bun was fresh but overall it would have been perfect with some acid from the pickles. My brisket and rib meal was excellent. I ate it later and I found the southern green beans to be good. I would definitely get this combo again. It came with a drink which is a canned soft drink. It doesn't say on the app but they also have bottled water. Overall I felt this restaurant lived up to all the hype. Check the app for $5 off on your first order. See QR code in the picture.
