    Wow! This place is incredible. Definitely a mom and pop shop forsure. Mango lychee green tea & Thai tea was so yummy! - ordered the chicken katsu special and the curry sauce was a bit cold, but the katsu was great overall. - seafood beef tofu soup but unfortunately they forgot the meat so that was disappointing, but the soup was hot and delicious. - the side dishes like the radish was so tasty - the galbi with rice with seasoning was flavorful! We came at a good time because shortly after we ordered all the tables were taken. Price was pretty decent. I think around $90 for everything but totally worth it, and worth the wait I would say. Ambiance- Place was clean and spacious. Plenty of parking spots. When done with food, you would just put the trays back on the tray rack on the side.

    I enjoyed visiting here! It's cozy and really causal after ordering from the tablet. We tried the pork katsu curry and soondubu jjigae, and both were pretty good. The good sized cutlet came supperrr crispy and juicy! However I didn't really like the curry itself... it was ok but not as rich as I expected. I did enjoy the cabbage salad on the side. My soondubu stew came out boiling and the egg on the side which I was happy to see as other places crack it for you! It felt like it was lacking on some seasoning or salt, but overall decent. I think it's good if you're in the area but not worth the drive!

    Yumee katsu has been on my list to try and I finally made it over for dinner. I ordered a chicken katsu curry. It came with a few small sides and some broth. Also ordered mango tea. The katsu was good. I would have liked more curry sauce cause I love sauce. The staff is very friendly and nice. The only bad thing would be the straws. They are biodegradable and super thin. It breaks easily when you are putting it through the top of the cup. Overall I had a good meal here.

    Food 5/5 Service n/a Ambiance 4/5 I just want to start off by saying this is the best katsu curry in Orlando! We got the chicken katsu curry rice and pork katsu curry udon and they were phenomenal! Both katsus were hot and crispy off the fryer. The udon was soft and chewy perfection and there was a good portion of rice. The curry doesn't come with potatoes/veggies in it but it was rich and flavorful on its own. The drinks weren't anything mind blowing , but they weren't bad coming from a restaurant. The strawberry puree was delish! The food was pricey, but we both had leftovers so it was worth it to us since we got 2 meals out of it. You order off a kiosk when you enter, get a number, and pick up your food at the counter so service was n/a since we weren't "served" per se. It was a full house during lunch time but the food was well worth the wait. There wasn't an ambiance, it was a modest restaurant that serves quality food and I can't wait to try their tofu soups next!

    Thank GOODNESS for a katsu place to bless Orlando. I had a great experience going to Yumee Katsu on Thursday. It's self order at a kiosk with loads of options. Chicken Curry Katsu 4/5 Came with salad, miso soup and kimchi! So delicious. Curry wasn't over powering and the chicken was great! Picture on the menu doesn't do it justice. Employees were kind but super busy! They got everything out quickly and answered all the questions we had about the menu. The place itself is a little hidden in a shopping plaza I didn't recognize. The inside is large, clean with lots of space. The bathroom could have been cleaner, but overall was great!

    I was going through my Yelp recommendations and Yumee popped up. I love Korean food! The pictures others took made me hungry, and I needed an excuse to get something out haha. The location itself it gives a hole in the wall vibe, with some tables and chairs scattered around the dining room. You order at the kiosk and then pick up your food at the counter when your number is called. I got the chicken, Katsu curry and a small order of the soba . The meal is massive! The curry comes with a good portion of rice and a large chicken Katsu cutlet . With it comes a tempura, dipping sauce, dressed cabbage on the side and bonchon of kimchi and pickled radish, perfect palette, cleansers, and snacks! The soda came in a cold broth, and it was extremely refreshing and delicious, it reminded me of my time in Japan . The curry was perfect with a bit of sweetness and a hint of a chocolatey flavor, but with a savory base. The whole meal was perfect, and the service was wonderful, I will definitely be back. The portions were amazing for the price, which was not a wallet buster!

    I went to Yume Katsu and really enjoyed the food overall. I ordered the cheese katsu and the chicken katsu, and both were crispy, flavorful, and well-balanced. The texture was really satisfying and everything was nicely presented. The only downside was the side dishes -- they felt a bit limited in portion and variety, so the meal felt a little lighter than expected. It is a bit of a far drive for me, and while I liked it, I'm not sure I would drive across town just for it. I'd probably come back if I'm already in the area, but not go out of my way.

    This place was just okay! First let me start off with what threw me off the most: on all tables was a QR code saying they will give you a free beverage for a 4 star or higher review. Are all the high reviews on this place really honest or did they want a free beverage? We just came back from Japan where we ate plenty of Katsu and my husband wanted to take me out to surprise me as he saw good reviews on this place. We ordered on an iPad at the front door and prices were pretty high but we came far so that didn't stop us. He got chicken katsu and I got pork curry katsu. The restaurant was half full which made us feel like it was a good choice, but they must have been there because I think all foods are cooked one at a time it was so slow to get our food. I'd think it was fresher, but the curry was lukewarm and the rice was cold. There was heavy seasoning on the katsu and rice but no katsu sauce offered. The cabbage had a strange dressing on it served to us, it tasted like applesauce? Not sure where other reviews say no tipping because the iPad definitely had a section for tipping. Please note that they do not serve you here - you grab your drink from a cooler, you pick up your food at the counter and you place your dirty tray on their rack. For the price and the quality, I can't say we'll be back. Just a pre-heads up on the potentially unhonest reviews on here for an exchange of a free item, we wish we knew that before we came.

    Honestly really impressed with this katsu spot! It was a little pricier than I expected, but it also came with a lot more food than I expected! The fry on the katsu is so good, it's like light and crispy and not super bready. I really liked the assorted katsu but I wish it also came with the fish katsu so that you really can try a bit of everything. The shrimp katsu was a big favorite of mine too. Again the fry was amazing and the shrimp itself was so soft it all practically dissolves in your mouth. The curry is also really good. It tastes like grocery store curry but in a good way, like very homey and familiar. I also love all the side dishes. The pickled veggies and cabbage work so well in brightening the heaviness of everything. And I really loved the wasabi and salt on the katsu. The soup was also really good, and it had a bit of heat to it which was nice. Only things to note are that if you get the cheese katsu, make sure to eat it when it's hot. It's not as good when it cools. And also you order off kiosk which is all good and dandy, but it's so close to the door that once it starts getting busy in here, the entrance way gets so clogged full of people.

    Pork curry katsu
    Jose C.

    I've been here plenty of times, the curry pork katsu is amazing very flavorful and crispy. The curry is amazing with rice and the salad adds a nice orange tanginess to the dish. I also had the fish katsu and it's delicious and hearty, the tartar sauce goes well with the fish and the service is generous to give more sauce when asked. All dishes come with sides and they're a perfect addition to the meal set! This is my regular go to restaurant and a hidden gem in Orlando. The ambiance is Korean themed and I am sure a lot of Kpop fans should visit this Korean restaurant

    Yum! This just opened and I was so excited to try it! It's a no frills restaurant with a kiosk in the front where you can order from. My friends got some katsu entrees and I got the tofu soup. When it came out we were pleasantly surprised by the presentation, it came with a bunch of sides and was a great portion. Once we tried our food everyone immediately agreed that we picked a good spot to try. Instantly we knew we would be coming back again. The service was also good as well, even though there is limited interaction with the employees the ones we did have were great. Very friendly and they even asked across the counter if we enjoyed it. Loved the place and hope to come back soon!

    Shrimp tempura and udon soup
    Lisa M.

    I finally made it to Yumee Katsu in the Woo Sung market plaza and it was everything I hoped for. The closest thing I've found to teishoku dining in the area! I had to start with my favorite dish, curry katsu, and because the place is making both Japanese and Korean dishes it came with spicy and sweet pickled radishes, a cabbage salad with a sweet tangy dressing, and a cup of broth with some tempura puffy bits soaking in it. The pork katsu was expertly fried, crunchy to the last piece but not rock hard or too thick, and perfectly tender and juicy pork within. The curry wasn't overly sweet and had that silky richness that you don't get with box roux so you know they're doing it from scratch. My friend got the udon which has a light broth, nice thick and chewy noodles, fried bean curd strips, tempura bits, scallions and seaweed. We also tried the tempura shrimp which had the same perfect crust but creamy and sweet inside. Don't be thrown by the $20 curry katsu price on the kiosk, it doesn't mention the sides and soup included and it was very filling. Absolutely worth the price. The place is self-serve but the staff were still present and very welcoming and attentive. It's quiet and clean, not a lot of decor aside from mouthwatering photos of the food. If I had just a few suggestions that would bring this place to a 11/10 it would be some togarashi available on the tables (I enjoy a bit more spice) and the option to add an egg in the udon. Otherwise zero notes, I will be making it a point to go back as often as possible to try all their menu - definitely need to give the cheese katsu a try and the soondubu.

    Came here with a friend who recommended this place and it definitely did not disappoint! They specialize in katsu curry but they also serve other dishes like bulgolgi, tteokbokki, and noodles. It's a self serve casual style restaurant. You order from a kiosk and pick up your food from the counter. But all the staff were very nice! There's a good amount of seating and the turn over is pretty good so I don't think it would be hard to get a table. The food came out fairly quickly in my opinion and it was definitely fresh and hot. It was also delicious! I wish it wasn't so far from where I live. But I would love to come back!

(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!!

    We went there last night with our two kids and had a very disappointing experience…read more We ordered two orders of bulgogi, one kimchi fried rice with bulgogi on cold bowl, and one kids' meal. We waited around one hour, and the waiter kept telling us that our food was "almost done." When the food finally came, my husband's cold bowl was still missing, so we had to share the food we received. The bulgogi was extremely watery and tasted like it had a lot of MSG. On top of that, our waiter forgot our drinks, so I had to remind him. I also had to ask another waitress for utensils. Meanwhile, another table that arrived about 20 minutes after us received their food before we did. The waiter never checked on us or seemed to care about the situation. Given the poor service and long wait, we decided we were not going to leave a tip. At the end, he gave us an $18 discount, which we appreciated as at least an attempt to address the situation, although we were still very unhappy. But then things got even worse. The menu clearly stated that an automatic gratuity applies to parties of 5 or more. We were a party of 4, so that policy did not apply to us. However, when we paid with our credit card, we noticed that a $19 tip had been added automatically even though we had not authorized or agreed to leave a tip. After that, the waiter and waitress were nowhere to be found. We were exhausted and had two kids with us, so we decided to leave rather than spend even more time dealing with the situation. This entire experience was frustrating from beginning to end -- extremely slow service, missing food, forgotten drinks and utensils, poor food quality, and an unexpected tip added to our credit card despite the menu's stated automatic gratuity policy. Unfortunately, never again.

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.

    For the price and selection alone, this was AMAZING! But the food was all absolutely fresh and…read morereasonably seasoned so very tasty! And YES!!' What a great selection of Soju!!!' This place is much larger than expected. But seats are well spaced and no issues of privacy! Staff was very helpful and friendly! Hats off to our server Katness who had me and my party for her last table! She was awesome!!! FYI. We did both, hotpot and Bbq and wow sooooooooooo much food and it was ALL yummy and delicious! Two big thumbs up here!!!

    Usually, we love this spot, but we had a disappointing experience during our visit on 8/1/2026…read more One member of our party doesn't eat Korean barbecue, so we asked whether she could order hot pot while the rest of the table ordered Korean barbecue. Our server, Sylvia, was very kind and told us she would ask the manager if an exception could be made so our friend wouldn't have to go without eating. 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.
