U Turn korean BBQ — Restaurant in Dr. Phillips

Fantastic Experience at U Turn Korean BBQ!

Last night, my wife and I ventured into U Turn Korean BBQ for the first time, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was inviting with K-pop videos adding a vibrant backdrop without overpowering our conversations.

What made our experience truly standout was Izzy, our server. For newcomers like us, Izzy was a gem - she expertly guided us through the menu and the Korean BBQ process. Her instructions were clear, allowing us to cook each dish to perfection on our own. It was not only delicious but also a lot of fun!

The menu selection was impressive, catering to a variety of tastes. I was particularly taken with the Garlic Beef, which was both tender and packed with flavor. My wife was thrilled with the selection of vegetables, especially the mushrooms, which were notably large and fresh.

The overall ambiance of U Turn Korean BBQ is perfect for anyone looking to enjoy great food and have a good time. The music and visuals set a lively scene but still allow for easy conversation.

We are already planning our next visit and highly recommend U Turn Korean BBQ to anyone looking for a diverse menu and a delightful dining experience. And when you go, do ask for Izzy - she’ll ensure your meal...

This is a fantastic spot for late-night dining, as it stays open until 2 a.m. Can you believe it? The restaurant is impeccably clean and organized, with plenty of screens playing K-pop music to keep the atmosphere lively.

You have a couple of options here: you can either order ready-to-eat dishes or raw meat that you can cook yourself. I highly recommend the latter option—it's easy to handle, even for beginners! You'll receive special tongs to move your meat to the grill, and don't be shy about flipping it often to avoid burning. It's super simple! Plus, they offer an array of sides ranging from radish and kimchi to a bowl of rice if you request it.

By the way, you can order the famous Korean boba tea here. I tried the fruity mango tea with boba, and it was absolutely delicious!

The service is exceptional. The waitstaff will explain all the options to you and help you choose something you'll enjoy. They frequently check in, refill your water, and swap out the grill plate. It's a truly...

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...
