I appreciate the input, but I wholeheartedly disagree whit this. While yes, you don't HAVE to tip, I think generally it's such a generous way to show kindness and support to those employees making your stay that much better. Personally, it didn't take much additional to tip, and they worked like 10-14 hours shifts from what my wife and I observed. It's not much but it was to show our gratuity to their service.
As much as i love to eat,i avoid that part of Orlando like the plague.,,i live all the way on the east side and driving there is a nightmare...and a tourist trap...
I would agree with you since this is right next to Disney Springs, however this restaurant (at least at the time of recording) offers an ayce 23 dollar meal during brunch time. In my opinion it's a pretty amazing deal and as you mentioned, considering the area it's at, it's almost unbelievable. Thanks for watching and I'd highly suggest it if for any reason, you're craving Mexican and happen to be in the area.
Thanks for the video. This clearly illistrates the food at Lopesan and most all-inclusive resorts. Looks like a bad version of Golden Corral Buffet. I would have to stick with French Toast and Omelettes...😉
I promise it wasn't that bad, and to their defense, they have a HUGE selection of items. So you can almost certainly have a different dish every day just in the buffet alone. I appreciate you watching. Omelette was one of the best things but wife is the one that kept on having that Lol.
Great info. Were just looking right now for an all inclusive in Punta Cana for February. I hear the food is better off the resort , do hard to decide what to do. Thanks and take care.
I really would like to know, as an actual Korean, what makes you think this is authentic? Have you been to Korea and tried what we actually consider Korean BBQ? My criticism stems from your portrayal that you actually understand what Korean food is. Orlando has had an explosion of “K type” places, but a good chunk of them 3:14 of them are owned by Fukanese (technically Chinese). They are not remotely related to the Korean culture and so much of the “K” places often have the taste of premade marinades (corn syrup and preservatives.) The few actual Korean owned and operated restaurants do not AYCE. They serve cuts of premium meat that are actually marinated in homemade marinades and sauces. The taste differences are pretty obvious. So, back to your credentials to rate it “authentic?” How do you know it is?
At the time of filming this video, there was only like 3-4 AYCE Korean restaurants in Orlando. Out of all of them, this was was the most Authentic at the time with their dish choices and the way they make most of their dishes. I have not been to Korea as of yet, I am open to learning anything I possibly can and just appreciate the different cultures of food. Please do share, but from my understanding, in authentic Korean bbq, the meat has no marinade, and the marinade seen in most places are just westernized versions. I am only here to share the different foods and share when I have (for the most part) great experiences. I have knowledge but definitely not an expert, which is why the comments are open for people to share and provide knowledge of different cultures. I appreciate your input and for watching :D
I experienced this restaurant and was Ok, you may want to experience others in the Orlando area then you judge: 01. Mynt at Winter park, specially the Sunday brunch 02. Tamarind Restaurant at Winter Park 03. Royal Rasoi at Lake Mary 04. Fifth Element at Sanford - good Sunday brunch
Good to know, I've been wanting to find another one that's more affordable cause this one is up there in price. Thoughts on which one of those provided?
@@latinchopsticksTamarind, Ashirwad, Bombay Street kitchen are all run by the same management. Mynt, Royal Southern kitchen, Madras Cafe, saffron are part of another management In Lake Mary try the 5th element (again a Florida chain) for more South Indian focused cuisine In Lake Mary Memories of India (this is the oldest Indian restaurant of Orlando, just the location changed a couple of times) is a best overall bet for the quality. In Lake Mary/Heathrow again, try Persis for more South Indian centric cuisine. Close to University Blvd and on 436 try Southern Royal kitchen. Their weekend buffet is the best focusing South Indian cuisine. Dinner menu offers other South Indian specialists that you don't get anywhere else in Orlando.
I have been eating at Brazilian buffet restaurants for over 45 years,things has really changed over the years,besides from getting very expensive,the gaucho part has gotten really bad,they pass around with the different cuts of meat only once to your table,long ago they will keep circling and stop at your table and see if the cube are on red or green...I stopped eating a lot of red meat,i prefer to pay for the buffet only....
That's unfortunate. Luckily I have not had that experience in any of these restaurants. Heck they even pass by the table sometimes when I have the red side up Lol. Hope that you can have a positive experience if and when you visit any of the places that are Brazilian buffets on the channel. Regardless, I'd love to know your experience if you do. Thanks for the comment and for watching.
A1 sauce is DELICIOUS , However, If your steak is cooked and seasoned properly you never need A1 sauce. The flavor, seasoning, juiciness of the steak is why steak lovers eat steak.A1 sauce is for when your steak is not good or you love A1 sauce that much you want it on every steak. To each his own but as much as I love and miss A1 on my steak In my opinion real steak lovers are there for the steaks not the very strong almost overpowering A1 sauce. Sometimes I will eat 1 or 2 small pieces with A1 sauce for the best of both worlds.
I enjoyed the food here overall. As someone who likes my steak med rare they mostly serve medium well. You can ask for med rare but it takes a little more effort to get it. It was my first time so maybe I could adjust something to make my experience better. I would recommend people try this place. They have a decent food bar and they bring lots of meat for you quickly. We literally kept telling them no more meat until we ate what we had. The service was great and the place is clean. This reviewer is accurate in his review,
Hi, satay is great but many ppl just make sweet peanut butter I have had many peanut sauces some had a depth of flavor adding curry and other things into the sauce making it a top notch food. The proper way to make tom yum is to balance the flavors, no flavor should over power the other flavors. We always ordered tom yum goong and it was mind blowing but even in thailand its hard to find a good bowl of tom yum goong. We ate pad thai at numerous places and thipsami is the best we tried. Americans only know about pad thai and get excited hearing the name but there are other good dishes. We prefer pad kee mao which is spicy. we ate at many of the best mango sticky rice places in bangkok and the best for us was a place called yenly yours because they had many different flavored rice and they made quality product. Most of the top places for mango sticky rice taste the same lol maybe if we had them side by side but to be honest they are nearly identical in taste.. thai tea is amazing depending on who makes it and how its made. For rice pinepple fried rice is good but most of these dishes dont compare to the flavor in thailand . I have been to many places in orlando and our favorite for price, portion and flavor is mee thai on lee road. They have great curries and pad kee mao also known as drunken noodles, pad woon sen. They're satay is not great because they dont have the proper fire stove due to the size of the kitchen. Other dishes you should try are pad ka prow, they have salads called Laab and waterfall beef salad both great, They have mango salad and papaya salad which I prefer the lime version to the fish sauce version. Best wishes
This was amazing. Thank you so much. I will try to check mee thai out this weekend or next. Will record and a vid and should be out within two months. Thanks again. Ill make sure ot get Pad Kee Mao and let me know which curry to try please.
@@latinchopsticks Thai curries are all good . the yellow is basically like indian curry which is pretty normal. The massaman is really nice full of spices so many flavors going on there. I think it was borrowed from another country and tastes a bit like an indian dish. The problem with massaman is that its hard to find someone who makes it good in Thailand and orlando. Honestly, you might want to skip massaman. We ate massaman at a place in Krabi thailand called D&E Jungle Kitchen. This leaves you red, green and panang curry to choose from which are all good! I recommend panang curry which uses star anise and has a unique flavor . The red is a little spicier and the green a little more sweeter in a good way. Im more about savory and not sweet. Red and green describes the color of the chillis used. I did not like the noodles for pad kee mao at first but they grow on you and many thai restaurants use different noodles for americans. You can tell them your spice level but for your info pad see ew is the same dish without the heat. She makes a good thai tea at mee thai. In thailand a wonderful dish was steamed fish with lime sauce but you cant really find it here . The sauce is so good you might want to drink any remaining sauce like I did. hahaha.
@@latinchopsticks I forgot when you go you must order the cheese rolls! They are basically a really good crab rangoon but rolled in a thin spring roll skin . They are good size and filled generously with a thai sweet sauce that is delicious. They are cheap very filling and you need to be careful when trying to bite or cut them otherwise the filling will squirt out on you. Everybody loves these I don't know if these are found in Thailand I doubt it but they are really good and low cost for an appetizer. Just remember they are very filling. lol
Mission is like the McDs of BBQ. If you've had nothing but bologna and cheese sandwiches on white bread your whole life, the Mission will seem great! But once you've had "real" BBQ... Mission is a joke. Especially for what they're charging. Super overpriced for fast food BBQ.
I enjoyed it but it's in a dif category than this. I'd say mission is more like chic fil a of fast food, where it's still fast food bbq but still better than some other fast food bbq places like 4Rivers. That's my opinion anyways. However the place in this video is a must visit. I personally really enjoyed it. Only better ribs I've had so far are Pete's Famous Bbq.
@@latinchopsticks This place looks legit! It's just a bit far for me to fit into a basic trip. But it's always good to know where solid BBQ is around town. :^)
The thumbnail title is a little misleading. Just got back from there last Wednesday. All of the restaurants were top notch. Fast friendly service with great tasting fresh dishes. Even the buffets were good. Lots of choice and variety.
It's not misleading, it was my personal experience. I thought every other restaurant was amazing and really liked the buffet's as well, however this specific restaurant "La Boheme" was the worst one out of the entire experience at the resort. I chose this over the asian restaurant, and I regret it so much given the experience. I mean 45 mins, literally not a hyperbole, to wait for some entrees its a big miss imo. However, the experience could have been a one off for me. I appreciate you watching. :) Please check out the other videos so you can see that I agree regarding all the others.
@@latinchopsticks You didn’t miss much if you have been to any Asian tepinaki restaurant it’s the same. The food here was way over salted, but the show was ok.
It’s part of the all inclusive. So no extra payment. Just go to the restaurant and ask for what you want. They usually ask the room number and that’s it. You’re able to order multiple dishes if portions seem small. They’re usually very helpful and friendly.
Mareas will be next week, and El Asador should be within the month, I think its 2-3 weeks out but def will have a review out. I appreciate you tuning in and appreciate your patience on the video quality. Thanks
Awesome I should check this one out I live in Kissimmee . Brother when you come back to Kissimmee please take the time to visit VIKTOR POLLO on 192 and John young Trust me 💪🏼
I plan on going there soon, I'm waiting for the hype to go down since it's all the craze right now, which imo almost always guarantees that places would go above and beyond. I want to visit once it's not under so much attention to see how they normally serve their food. :) I appreciate it though and will keep a look out on when would be a great time to go.
@@MarthaFyrena We had an amazing time to be honest. I know there’s lots of mixed reviews but it was an wonderful experience. However this was our first all inclusive so we didn’t have another experience to compare it to. However since it’s the nicest and cheapest option, I decided to book and do videos in all the major restaurants on property. Glad you enjoyed it and def keep tuned cause while this one was great, not all of them were so maybe if you need to pick and choose, these videos will help. Also make sure you attend each show every night, they’re definitely worth it. And if you’re going to do any excursions, do the Saona Island excursion. Use TripAdvisor and you’ll book it at like 50-60% off the onsite prices. And if you want to do a reservation on that day for a restaurant, make sure that you book it at 9pm or later if possible because it’s an all day thing. :) Hope you enjoy and hope to hear from you after your trip.
Yeah I tend to agree but I did that to be able to try multiple sandwiches without needing to pay 10+ for each one and have a lot of excess food. Paid that for you guys benefit :)
Granny's Southern Smokehouse? I live over by Winter Springs, so I doubt I'll be down that way soon, but I'll keep it in mind. 4 Rivers and Mission are my go to's. I used to go to Bubbalou's, but they've gone downhill over the last 6 or 7 years. Love your channel neighbor!
well if there ever was a don't judge a book by it's covers. Not a great part of town and the outside doesn't look that great but way to try to a place on food and not looks.
Yea I’ve said this before in other videos. Some of the best food I’ve personally had has been in some of the most run down looking places. I really want to get more people to try this restaurant.
Hey man it was awesome seeing you and glad you said hi. I hope you were able to enjoy that amazing place. Been there too many times already in the last 4 months. lol. Truly appreciate the support :)
This video answered a very specific and very neurotic question of mine. My 30th birthday trip is coming up, and I’m hoping the quality still lives up to your hype to this day. I’m very particular about Asian buffets, and the small things can add up to a poor experience overall.
I hope this is still as good as it used to be or better. I have only gone once more since the video was made since I’m constantly trying new places for videos. However, please make sure you visit the one from this video and use the address in the description. They decided to open another location on Orange Blossom Trail near the Florida Mall and my goodness, that one is terrible. It’s night and day the difference of both.
They worst hotdogs ever you can go to coney Island hotdogs in Eustis, Florida better hotdogs cheaper hotdogs and so much better and they use real cheese on there stuff not sandwich cheese
Thanks for the comment, Ill take notes. Right now I am looking at a place called Mister Hotdog, and supposedly they have some of the BEST in Orlando. Haven't had a chance to go but Ill add your suggestion to the list.
We just arrived last week for another month stay in Orlando. Tried 'Ellie Lou's' BBQ in Flamingo Crossings. It's by WDW's west gate, next yo the Disney College Program Campus. It was pretty good! Better than Mission, at least the 2 meats we tried (Pork & Brisket). Have you tried them?
Not yet but I will look into this to see if it can become a future video. :) The one that has my attention currently and plan on going soon is Bubbalou's Bodacious Bar-B-Que. I've heard amazing things and I am trying to find the time to go and visit it.
Just one point. Why does this place make their paying customers use plastic forks? Its the details that food places in the U.S cut corners aka becomes lazy. The food looks standard hope it taste at lease good but i would pass. Thanks for the video we always look forward for your videos.
One doesn’t have to use the fork. It’s just that since I was constantly grabbing for the phone, I didn’t want to have dirty hands. It was a good experience though. However it’s still not better than Granny’s Southern Smokehouse ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XViDR5IPOd8.htmlsi=KLrUwFOhpU6P1I2f
Agree , one may eat sushi with bare hands too, as long assou have washed them. Point is its just laziness of the resto to use plastic utensils. Unless they only do take out. It ain't fast food but a full resto with menu and sit down dinning area. Theve got low standards.
