Who doesn’t love barbeque? There is something about the smell and taste of meat cooked over a fire and covered in a sauce that makes everyone happy.
And when it comes to savory taste, Korean BBQ is arguably the best in the world. Many people don’t know Korea has a rich barbeque culture that compares easily to American BBQ.
You cook Korean BBQ on gas or charcoal grills on the dining table. This cooking method makes Korean BBQ a fun experience because you get to cook your food on the table.
When I was recently in Orlando, I spent the time finding the best Korean BBQ restaurant in Orlando.
The following are my top recommendations worth checking out if you love Korean BBQ or wish to find out what’s so amazing about it.
Beewon Korean Cuisine
5100 Dr. Phillips Blvd, Orlando, FL 32819
Phone: 407-601-7788
Visit Website
Beewon Korean Cuisine is on Dr. Phillips Blvd west of Shadow Bay Park and the Bill Frederick Park Disc Golf Course here in Orlando.
Beewon Korean is the perfect place to grab a bit to eat after enjoying a walk in the park or some disc golf.
Beewon is a family-owned business and features authentic home-cooked Korean food. The owners are initially from Korea and strive to make every dish as accurate as possible.
I ordered the bulgogi (barbecued beef), and it was delicious! The meat was tender and cooked perfectly.
I also ordered the kimchi pancake, which is a must-try dish. You make the pancake with kimchi (fermented cabbage), onion, green onion, and soy sauce.
Bulgogi House Korean Restaurant
705 W Colonial Dr, Orlando, FL 32804
Phone: 407-317-4193
The Bulgogi house Korean Restaurant is at West Colonial Drive and North Paramore Avenue intersection. It is in the Lake Dot neighborhood near the Marriott Orlando Downtown.
The Bulgogi House is perhaps the best Korean BBQ restaurant in Orlando because of the delicious meat and huge portions.
I highly recommend the pork belly and the beef short ribs. The pork belly is marinated in a special sauce that melts in your mouth. The beef short ribs are also marinated and very tender.

Phone: 407-859-2667
You can find Mimi’s Kitchen Korean Grill on South Orange Ave, just south of the intersection with Fairlane Ave in the Edgewood neighborhood. This restaurant is just east of Oak Ridge High School.
Mimi’s kitchen serves a wide variety of food, including burgers, wraps, salads, and an incredible variety of fried rice.
I tried the spicy stir-fried pork and fell in love. It is one of the most delicious pork dishes I have ever eaten.
I recommend coming here if you want a quick bit to eat but don’t want to break the bank. Mimi’s is comfort food at its best.
Nifty’s Korean BBQ & Ramen

What’s better than Korean BBQ? Eating ramen at the same time. Nifty’s serves up Korean BBQ and traditional Japanese ramen, a match made in heaven.
You can find this outstanding restaurant on the corner of South Orange Ave and East Church Street. I tried the seafood and beef bibimbap.
It was as good as the bibimbap that I have eaten in Korea. This restaurant can do it all. It might be the best Korean BBQ restaurant in Orlando.
Star Korean BBQ 고향집

You can find Star Korean BBQ on West Oak Ridge Road near the intersection with Highway 441. This incredible Korean BBQ restaurant is in the Oak Ridge neighborhood.
Star Korean BBQ specializes in Korean BBQ. Each table has a tabletop grill, so you can cook the Korean BBQ the way you want.
In addition to Korean BBQ, many other Korean comfort food classics will leave you feeling full and happy. I ordered the combo platter, including short ribs, pork belly, and chicken.
The meat was perfectly cooked, and the dipping sauces added an extra layer of flavor. If you love Korean BBQ, this is the place for you.
Korean Gogi Grill

You can find Korean Gogi Grill on Sand Lake Road near the intersection with Dr. Phillips Blvd. Korean Gogi Grill serves up authentic and high-quality Korean cuisine.
Gogi refers to the Korean method of grilling meat, and Korean Gogi Grill specializes in Korean BBQ. This restaurant is a great place to bring friends and family together and share the experience of cooking food.
I highly recommend the Korean BBQ, and I suggest you order the shrimp, marinated pork short ribs, and pork jowl.
The Pork jowl is exceptionally delicious and is not something you always find at Korean BBQ restaurants.

Phone: 407-723-8299

You can find BBB Tofu House on West Colonial Drive near the Tan Tien Oriental Market in the Pine Hills neighborhood.
The BBB Tofu house serves much more than just tofu; they also do traditional Korean BBQ. I highly recommend trying out some of their Tofu dishes.
The tofu soaks up all the delicious sauces and marinades they use, and then the tofu is cooked to perfection.
The result is a delicious and healthy dish that will leave you feeling satisfied. I also recommend trying their Korean BBQ. The short ribs are my personal favorite.
