SURAH Korean BBQ & Cuisine

First, this place serves the best quality meat in Windermere/dr Phillips area. Believe me I know frozen meat very well. Dont get fooled by the size. The owner Angie will def walk by and help out. She is amazing. Our server Kim was on top of her game and had us going quick and replacing refills. The place is super clean and well kept. They offer outdoor seating too. The price is very competitive for the area. I really loved my experience here. Will def comeback and recommend this place to family and friends.

I had a great experience at SURAH Korean BBQ & Cuisine! This is a really nice restaurant with high-quality food and excellent service. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the whole visit even better. I especially loved their steak—it was super juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. You can really taste the quality. The ingredients were very fresh, unlike the frozen meats you sometimes find at all-you-can-eat places. Everything felt carefully prepared and thoughtfully served. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for delicious Korean BBQ in a comfortable setting. I’ll definitely be coming back!

We really enjoyed our meal at Surah for dinner! We came in as a party of two and ordered the seafood and green onion pancakes, the beef short rib, the hotteok dessert and a rice drink. All of the banchan tasted fresh, and our food came out relatively quickly in steam. Everything tasted good- the seafood pancake was crispy on the outside with a good bite from the green onions and abundant seafood; the short ribs were very tender, we also really enjoyed the root vegetables in there; the hotteok dessert was hot and crispy on the outside with a sweet and warm filling. We ended up finishing 2/3 of the food and took the rest home since the portions were pretty big. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. We will come back again next time we are in Orlando!

What an incredible restaurant in Orlando. My wife and I drove in from Minnesota for a few days and we were looking for a good place to eat and we discovered SURAH after a simple google search. It wasn’t a disappointment, in fact from the service, the meal itself, the authenticity of the flavor in each dish we tried brought true meaning to Korean BBQ. The staff were friendly and polite and this was the first time we’ve had good Asian cuisine being from Minnesota. This place tops the scale and should be highly recommended. Thank you and may God bless your business and make it prosperous. We look forward till next time. I don’t write reviews but I’m telling you right now, Go check it out!

We met Angie who is one of the owners and she was so sweet!!! This is the best Korean food in Orlando by FAR A MUST VISIT! I loved the cold noodles I can’t wait to have them again :) thank you suhrah

Had the Bulgogi Lunch Special. I experienced a really big serving with great meat, fresh vegetables and the flavors of the seasoning and the sauce brought it all together. The appetizer dishes were fresh and delicious. Attentive staff that was engaging and kind. An upgrade from the previous Korean at this location and worth having a look and taste for yourself.

Great atmosphere and food. The staff are extremely helpful with the menu and portion sizes. The owner came to our table to help us out and was deeply appreciated. Definitely a great spot here in Orlando.

This place is amazing! All the cuts of Meat we ordered was of high quality…the banchan and stew was great …the hottok was nice and hot and complimented with ice cream. The service was prompt and everyone was friendly. The owners were so welcoming and made us feel right at home. Will definitely be coming back again!

Amazing food and service! Great vibe inside the restaurant, felt very cozy. Highlight was the LA galbi and sikhye!

I came to Surah and left really impressed! The standout for me was the spicy tofu stew--I honestly didn't think it would be spicy enough, but they really delivered. It had just the right kick without overwhelming the flavor. The kalbi was also memorable--thicker cut than I usually see, but still tender with a nice bit of marbling that gave it great flavor. The side dishes were plentiful and fresh, and the restaurant itself was clean and comfortable. The sweetest touch was the owner herself--she came by to chat, and even shared stories about when ATEEZ visited (twice!). It made the whole experience feel personal and warm. Everything I ordered was delicious! Best Korean food I've had in recent memory - I'd definitely come back here again. If you're looking for tasty Korean food with heart, Surah is a great choice.

My wife and I had a great experience here! We met the owner, who was super friendly and told us they took over the restaurant about a year ago. He really made us feel welcome. We ordered the deluxe BBQ combo, which came with Prime Beef Ribeye, Prime Brisket, and Thin-Sliced Flower Pork Belly, plus a soybean soup. Everything was delicious! The ribeye was really tender, the pork belly was sliced just the way I like it--nice and thin--and the brisket was high quality. They also had a great variety of banchan (side dishes). I'm usually picky about kimchi, but theirs had the perfect balance of ginger, spice, saltiness, and sweetness. We also tried the Galbi Tang, which was clean, rich, and really comforting. Prices are a bit higher than some other Korean BBQ spots around Orlando, but the quality of the meat and care in preparation definitely makes it worth it.

Ambience: Modern/Minimalist and sleek yet a gentle warmth to the decor. Service: The staff was super friendly, nice and attentive without making you feel overwhelmed or neglected. Food: The Kimchi Soup was perfect. Savory and rich and just hit the spot after a long day. The chicken katsu, the batter was flakey and crispy but somehow managed to be light with the chicken being moist which was phenomenal. Stone pot rice, meat and veggies was just right and finally the Korean Ramen was elevated comfort food at its finest. I wish I can transport these guys back to North Carolina!

My family and I just left Surah. I can honestly say this was worth the 2 hour drive. The food was amazing, the service was very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Surah. We will definitely be back. Until next time .

I had such a great time at Surah! I originally discovered it through social media and was excited to learn that ATEEZ has actually visited--not just once, but twice! After dining here, I can definitely see why they came back. Every dish was beautifully made, and the flavors were absolutely spot on. It's been a while since I've enjoyed Korean food this good. Highly recommended!

A huge pass. This place use to be BeeKwon and was great. I was super disappointed in the wait time and hot pot. Our waiter was super nice but it took forever for out hot pot to come out. When it did, it was just onions, bulgogi,and mushrooms, with noodles barely enough for one person. I'm not sure if they were having help/kitchen issues but I definitely would not be back. They had a few huge parties and seem to be very attentive to those patrons. $50 for hot pot and that's what was served is really sad. It's more expensive here than other places but very underwhelming.

We're in town for a convention and were craving Korean food after an exhausting day. We found Surah and decided to give it a try and I'm so glad we did! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. My favorite was the pork mandu--lightly crispy with a flavorful filling, definitely a must-try! For my entrée, I got the brisket tofu stew and requested it mild which was the perfect spice level for me. My bf had the galbi tang and the broth was light yet packed with flavor. The service was very friendly too. We're in town for a few more days and are already planning to come back before we leave!

I'm not sure if I'll come back because of the price and quality of the food. Quality--galbi was cold! I can clearly tell that the dish was frozen before as inside of galbi was cold and the veggies were breaking apart and its colors being dark instead of shiny bright. Perhaps if you're going to freeze, separate by meat and sauce and don't freeze the veggies. When you get the order, put the sauce in the steamer with the meat and fresh veggies and stem for couple minutes extra. Price--I don't think the food's been priced right. It's WAY overpriced for what we're getting. Also if we're paying almost 40 bucks for a galbi, it would have been nice to get banchan refilled... also, BE AWARE you have to pay for your banchan to get refilled by the way!

Amazing food & service at Surah. Took the college & HS kids out for lunch and I was craving this. Saw many good reviews and they did not disappoint. We were so hungry that we started tearing into the food and pictures were an afterthought. Pork fried dumplings, no picture because they were delicious and we devoured them, were up first. Fantastic, sweet and spicy KFC not spicy but very tasty. Now the mains, I've heard of army stew but never had it. This was delicious, but I don't know that I'm coming back just for it. Beef Bugolgi hot pot was PHENOMENAL, really recommend this. Asked the kids for the star rating? 5 out of 5, I think that tells it all right there. Love the ambiance of the place and looking forward to my next trip back!

The service was amazing with us being greeted by friendly staff after arriving 1 hour before closing. Throughout our entire meal, the staff were attentive with refills on side dishes, and tips on when to add the cheese to the stew. The ambiance is modern, elegant and spacious. Let's start with the side dishes, amazing! The salad comes with a tasty little shrimp, the kimchi radish were perfectly tender with a strong kimchi flavor, and the fish cakes had just the right texture and fish taste. The Korean Army Stew was nothing short of impeccable! We've gone to plenty of Korean restaurants and this is the single best Korean dish we've ever had of any restaurant. All of the meats tasted exactly how they should with distinct and delectable flavors and a perfect cook. The staff helped us cook the noodles to just the right texture. But the best part of this dish was the sauce which was full of creamy, and seasoned flavor throughout the entire pan. Amazing! We are sad we don't have such a good restaurant back in California.

Came in with my family and they requested to eat katsu curry. Really crispy and just the right amount of thick. We also enjoyed their kk bbq. Lots of good side dishes too.

Had the Bulgogi Lunch Special. I experienced a really big serving with great meat, fresh vegetables and the flavors of the seasoning and the sauce brought it all together. The appetizer dishes were fresh and delicious. Attentive staff that was engaging and kind. An upgrade from the previous Korean at this location and worth having a look and taste for yourself. Place is cleaned up and has a new look to it too. Great and sharp ambience to the place as well.

Such amazing service, very sweet owners! The food was amazing, and good portions for sharing with friends. Even during busy times they were quick to attend to you. The atmosphere was very welcoming and friendly, offering many suggestions they think you would enjoy to try. Thank you for giving us a good time!

The service was extremely nice, and the taste and quality of the food amazing. Will return every time I visit Orlando. Thank you for the friendly attention.

Checked this place out from Yelp reviews. Located in Dr Phillips by Sage Dental Plaza. PRICEY Korean Restaurant!! Empty inside no customers and I wondered why its 4-5 stars yet empty eatery? This would been a 5 stars for the taste of the food alone but service and PRICE is why I deducted the stars. $35.99 for 3 slabs of Galbi that is cut to pieces. YES 3 SLABS. How do I know that? Each galbi rib has 3 bones. Ordered the Galbi because they NO LONGER SERVE BENTO BOX plates. The sizzling hot plate came with the stacks of galbi meats sitting on top on white onions. The galbi is toped with green onions. It smelled good and looking at the portion I already knew I will still be hungry. The galbi was sliced up to pcs and it was a total of 3 slabs if you pieced the meats together LOL The ban chan - Let's talk about it. For $35.99 GALBI only you would expect good portions on the ban chan sides. NOPE. They offered a PIECE of tofu a PIECE of rolled omelet and 3-4 little pcs of broccoli small ones at that. I did not want spicy sides so the total sides u get is 4 sides and "sample" sized. The lady said after 2 refills each side is $1.50 each. Wow you are charging $1.50 for 1 small pc of tofu or rolled omelet? This is an empty restaurant so the service you would expect fast and on top of it - Nope you barely saw the server. The Korean Shave Ice looked good - Opted for Mango and it was a sherbet sorbet not ice cream. This was $14.99. It had shaved ice, diced up fruits and mini mochi bits, syrups and a mango sorbet on top on a pedestal glass bowl cup. It was a refreshing dessert. I would not consider coming back here due to price and portion and lack of service.

It's our first visit and it won't be our last. Andy and Cloe our servers were amazing. Andy went into great detail explaining the dishes to us. He recommended the seafood pancake and the braised beef. The seafood pancake was one of our favorites. We found the food to be amazing. We enjoyed the ambiance and really enjoyed Andy - he is a great server. Go check it out.

I have been looking for a hotpot dish as good as what I had in South Korea and Surah did not disappoint! We ordered the hotpot and the veggies and protein was fresh, flavor was amazing, and we even had some to take home. The setting is an upscale casual vibe with cute indoor and outdoor seating available. Thank you so much for a great service, experience, and meal.

Wow! It's like being back in K-Town in NYC!! Awesome welcome and service by Andy. Airy high ceilings ambiance. Their initial appetizers of kimchi, peanuts and fish is special (much better than having bread). The Korean Fried chicken is very tasty (and plentiful). The Pork Katsu is delicious and also plenty. All washed with a nice cold K-Soju Jinro Chamisul Fresh. Very reasonably priced. Happy evening! We will be back for the Short Ribs, lunch and Happy Hour!

Every time we visit family in Orlando, we've now made it a tradition to have dinner at Surah. The food is AMAZING and authentically delicious! The owners are great people, and always go above and beyond to ensure your experience is a great one. One time we arrived late, but we still received amazing service!The ambiance is nice and relaxed, everything is also very clean. We really love Surah and we are sure you will too!

I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars!! We were looking for a lunch spot and decided to give this place a try based upon their reviews and we were not disappointed! A new owner took this establishment over back in October of last year and completely redid the restaurant. They did such an amazing job! The service is one of the best I have ever witnessed, we had wonderful people checking on us and actually took the time to help with cooking the BBQ we had. The food was stellar!! Every bite was better than the last - there wasn't a bad bite the entire meal! I love the ambience of the restaurant, it's so clean and modern. We will definitely be back! You should totally try this place, you will not be disappointed!

Came here for a casual dinner after a day at the theme parks. The interior was nicely decorated and clean. The servers were quick, super friendly, and generally attentive. My husband ordered the pork katsu (9/10). Everything was so tasty but we could have used a tiny bit more sauce. Side dishes were great, they had "white" kimchi! There was a hiccup with my order- they brought me seafood stew instead of the beef stew I ordered. It took a little bit to correct the order but the staff was very apologetic and the owner even came by make things right. I wish we had a spot like this at home, but I'll definitely be back whenever we are visiting Orlando.

The food is truly authentic. Flavor wise is full and well deserved 5 stars. Customer service is in point. Highly recommend. The pancake we got, have nice texture and flavor. It rarely see oysters in this type of pancake, but they have it, add surprise and flavor.

Went to Surah for my daughter's birthday. The food was delicious. My daughter had the bulgogi, I had the udon noodles and husband had the chicken cutlet. Every was properly prepared and served with some delicious sides. Service was excellent and staff was very attentive and checked in with us throughout the meal. All in all it was a very nice dining experience.

This is a very good Korean Resturant. Love the options here and there's options for just about anyone hungry. My favorite and most unique is the port cutlet. It is so crisp; tender; and moist; it was perfectly prepared. It reminded me of my favorite cutlet place in Japan that was a hole in the wall joint. Portions are just right. Only thing I would comment on is the price as it's a bit on the higher side. Other than that; place is clean and service is good.

Beautiful and well lit place. Korean food entrees along with KBBQ is served at this place. It is definitely quality over quantity but well worth the price. Service is quick and food may take about 10 minutes after ordering. Best Korean food that I have tried compared from all of Orlando.

The staff is so friendly as soon as you walk in. Everything we ordered was amazing and so lightly fried to perfection-nothing heavy or greasy and so fresh. We will definitely be back!

Used to come before the new ownership and loved the previous Korean bbq restaurant/menu. It's great because the new ownership and staff did not lose a step. The interior has been upgraded. The service was great and everyone was very friendly and attentive. Got the beef kalbi and it was a thicker cut which was perfectly cooked and had great flavor. We also had the fried pork appetizer which was also excellent. My wife had one of the soups and was very pleased. In summary if you are in the mood for Korean BBQ you won't be disappointed. A+

We went to SURAH for lunch. It was delicious. I was so delighted to find a good Korean restaurant closer to where I live. I had the Dumplings and tofu soup

This place is exactly what I was searching for. Came here after a loooooong day at universal, and I was thrilled to get something authentic. Waiters are super friendly - we had a few snafus with the soda machine with the fix happening this past week that didn't really fix it, but they were great and found a solution. Back of the house is very Korean (lol we asked if we could add rice cakes to the stew and were told that communication was a bit difficult). Very generous with the small plates, which was great. Kimchis, everything was on point. Also 20% bigger variety than other spots. Flavors are perfect re our stew and tteokbokki, spice level is enough to make you sweat but not look like a member of the Kardashian family re the lips. Would return any time I'm in Orlando.

To preface I'm Korean and really into food. I regularly get Korean BBQ. Cute environment. High quality meat. I'm super familiar with the business metrics for Korean BBQ. Few issues. Feels like they know food but struggled with the business side to Korean BBQ. Or they struggled the day I was there. Trying to give benefit of the doubt. Service was slow but the servers seemed to be juggling multiple jobs. They looked overwhelmed. The place had about 30-40% of the tables filled with the host? Owner? Helping out with 2 servers and they looked swamped. The cook tables were electric based and one side of the grill heated up properly but the other side didn't. This is a common issue with cheaper grill tops or a baseline mechanical issue with the grill top such as a blockage, wiring issue, voltage issue, or grease build up. This issue limited how much meat I could put on the grill at a time to avoid uneven cooking. I think they should put their investment towards higher quality prime Galbi rather than prime ribeye, but then again, could be a choice based on the area. The galbi itself isn't true LA style cut, but it's what grocery stores push as an LA cut. True LA cut is a long deboned strip of meat with a single large bone that's cooked separately at the end. Tasted good nonetheless. Accurate marinade. Brisket was bomb. Pan fried dumplings were good. Wrapper was unevenly cooked and would have been better deep fried. Banchan tasted good. It's rare I like every single side dish and they did great every single one. Sizes were small but understandable to reduce waste. If you want more just ask. No steamed egg? No jjigae? Disappointed but personal preference, not a criticism. First bbq I've ever been to that offered galbi jjim but no jjigae. Chose 4 star over 3 since the brisket was nice and the marinade on the galbi was accurate. Overall enjoyed the meal and frankly nitpicking. Korean bbq is a tough restaurant industry and probably even more so in Orlando.

SURAH was amazing! The flavors are bold, and the presentation is beautiful. We shared the Pork Yaki Man Doo dumplings, Chicken Katsu, and Bulgogi beef, and everything was freshly prepared and delicious. The Chicken Katsu was perfectly crispy and full of flavor, and the Bulgogi beef was super tender and served on a bed of onions. The sides were great too--especially the spicy peanuts! It took more restraint than I'd care to admit to not take a bottle of the katsu sauce home, lol. Andy, our server, was awesome. He was friendly and knowledgeable, and gave us great food and drink recommendations. The whole staff was friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick and attentive. This is hands down the best Korean food I've ever had. It's a bit pricey, but totally worth it for the amazing food and service. Highly recommend!

Hot & New Korean place that just opened! Upon arriving, we were greeted by the host, and was seated right away. We ordered the combo + tofu soup which comes with a variety of sides and your choice of meat. We chose the L.A Galbi. This was $34! Not bad & you can share with 2 people. I also enjoyed the galbi. The tofu soup could be better, as it was lacking some flavor. I really enjoyed the pickled dishes as it came with hot & spicy options. I also ordered a chicken katsu + salad and it comes with a small white rice. This was pretty tasty & authentic. This was $25! They also have happy hour from 2-6pm! As you can see from the menu, there were a lot of options to choose from. They were so friendly and even explained some of our dishes to us. The place is really open and spacious and overall the staff and everything was great. I definitely enjoyed this experience and will definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves Korean food.

We're on a work trip from CA and went to Surah for our last dinner in town. The service, the food, EVERYTHING was amazing! Our server was Andy and he made sure we were well taken care of the entire time. If you're visiting or a local, stop by, grab a drink and enjoy an amazing meal!

Aloha from Hawaii .. Had the pleasure of eating here twice in a row while on vacation for a volleyball tournament. Twice because was that good!! Stumbled upon this place and I had to post a review!! This place is LEGIT-- the food is amazing, affordable ,, and most importantly the service is second to none. MY SON AND I , had the pleasure of meeting the owner of the place... she and her staff treated us with the utmost respect and as busy as she was .. made time for small talk.. THAT IN ITSELF SHOWS HOW GREAT THIS PLACE IS . If you are on yelp looking for Korean cuisine in Orlando .. LOOK NO FURTHER .. YOU NEED TO STOP HERE!! ALOHA ALL!

Food is amazing. Possibly the best Korean food ever and we have live and traveled all over the world including Korea. Christopher was a wonderful host. Will definitely be back when we are in the area. Do your self a favor and give them a try if you like Korean food. You will not be disappointed.

Seriously good Korean food! Their Galbi is authentic and you can tell the quality of meat is top notch. It was tender, flavorful and cooked perfectly! The restaurant is clean, really pretty and welcoming. I feel like it's getting harder to find legit Korean food these days, so thank goodness for places like Surah! Obviously, I highly recommend it!

It is a very authentic Korean cuisine restaurant! First time tried it with family , we love it! The taste are very good! Overall was good experience, staff are friendly, the side dishes are so different from other Korean restaurants in Orlando , we love all of their side dishes, very fresh and especially the tofu side dishes and roasted honey peanut! Just wish they have more meat and the portions can be a little bigger size since the price is pretty high. Recommend you to try it out if you like the authentic Korean food!

Stopped in for dinner. Wanted to try this spot after they took over Beewon. We started with a bottle of peach rice wine. That was like juice but tasty. I did the seafood tofu stew and my bf did the bibimbap. We got about 8 sides. The steamed egg was my most favorite. The sides were all good though. My seafood stew was good. My egg yolk was well done. I'm sure to it being put in last and a little runny. I think it was cooked prior to be put in the stew or cooked separately. The bibimbap seemed more like kimchi fried rice. Fried egg was also well done. Usually it comes out in the hot stone and you mix it into the rice with yolk slightly runny. Service and everything was good though otherwise.

This is the best place if you are looking for the best authentic Korean food in Orlando. I am married to a Korean and have lived in Korea. We Ate Budae jjige ( Army Base Stew), our favorite, and were both surprised at how it tastes in Korea! We will go back for sure every time we visit Orlando

We were looking for a break from the burgers, hot dogs, and funnel cakes at the parks and found Surah on Yelp. Gave it a shot because of the 5-star rating. Surah lived up to it! The food was traditional Korean and satisfied our craving for solid comfort food. My kimchi jjigae came out nice and stewy, as I hoped for. My wife's dolsot bimbimbap had fresh veggies, the perfect crunchy rice at the bottom of the bowl, and the egg was perfectly sunny side up. We were provided a treat of hotteok at the end of dinner which was sweet and delicious! It was a great way to finish dinner. The restaurant was well lit and felt welcoming. Service was very prompt. The owner was very pleasant and greeted us with warm smiles!!!

Had a wonderful dinner tonight after the theme parks. Chloe explained the menu and dishes and was easy to pick. Service was quick and food all tasted good.

Stop by for lunch and really enjoyed the food here. Staff were a bit slow at serving and the food took a long time. I ordered the steamed dumplings and really enjoyed that. I did order a bento box with plenty of items, everything tasted great. The side items were also good. The side items took a while to come out as well, it came out right when my food came out which was a bit odd since theh should have given it to me when I sat down and got my water. Pricing was a bit expensive, but I would dine here again.

First time here and the experience was amazing. The server was super nice and friendly and the owner also stoped by our table. The food was great, just what I wanted. The place is clean and inviting. My husband loved that they were playing the football game. Totally recommend stoping by for great food and good experience.

Great food! Best Korean food I've had in Orlando! Really enjoyed the galbi. Would come again in an instant.

Absolutely delicious! I'm not a big beef person but combo #1, the Beef Bulgogi Japchae, the kimchi fried rice and the sweet and spicy Korean fried chicken were all ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS !!! 100000000000/10 definitely recommend you check them out!

Clean, modern place. Visiting from Ohio and just visited Korea the week prior--food was GREAT. seafood pancake was outstanding, crisp on the outside! Great quality meat for bbq--went for the deluxe and thoroughly enjoyed the soybean paste soup that came with it (went for the seafood, yum!!). Enjoyed a hot stone bibimbap and the appetizers. Can't say enough good things about the service. Owners were very kind and helpful. Result: ate more than I should, but can't help it. Definitely recommend Surah!

Great service and authentic Korean cuisine in a pleasant environment. Our waitstaff and the manager were attentive and accommodating, and our large party of 14 enjoyed an intimate meal in a side area of the restaurant that had a bit more privacy than being in the center of the dining area. A memorable and pleasant experience.

I dont even know where to start!! Me and my dance team had a competition in Orlando and was in the mood for Korean food and chose Surah because it was nearby. What an amazing choice because not only was the food amazing, the staff there is so nice and give you time to enjoy the food while also making sure you had everything you need. My recommendation is to get Tteokbokki with Kimchi fried rice!! Also their ssek ssek grape (or sac sac grape) drink is the best thing ive ever tasted. Definitely try Surah!!
