Lake Nona foodies, get ready—your culinary world is about to expand in a bold new direction. BABBI BABBI Korean Kitchen, one of Central Florida’s most buzzed-about Korean restaurants, has officially announced plans to open a new location in Lake Nona. Slated to open late 2025 at 10799 Moss Park Rd., Suite 102, this will mark the very first Korean restaurant in the Lake Nona area—and it’s bringing all the flavor without the drive down the 417.

A Local Favorite Expanding East

BABBI BABBI already boasts two thriving locations in Dr. Phillips and Winter Garden, both known for attracting long lines and loyal fans. Their winning formula? A modern take on traditional Korean comfort food, delivered fast-casual style in a vibrant, welcoming setting. With its third location in Lake Nona, the restaurant will finally bring its signature dishes closer to home for East Orlando residents who’ve been craving Korean cuisine.

What to Expect on the Menu

Known for its sizzling stone bowls and visually striking presentation, BABBI BABBI serves up a variety of Korean favorites including:

  • Bibimbap – Their most popular dish, served piping hot with a customizable mix of rice, veggies, meat, and egg.
  • Tteokbokki – A spicy rice cake dish available in classic or creamy rose sauce versions.
  • Korean BBQ Bowls – Featuring flavorful marinated meats like bulgogi and galbi.
  • Kimbap – Korean-style sushi rolls packed with flavor.
  • Soondubu – A comforting, spicy soft tofu stew perfect for cooler days.
  • Korean Corn Dogs – Crispy, cheesy, and Insta-worthy.

Expect generous portions, beautiful plating, and a side of K-pop playing in the background to set the vibe.

Why This Is a Big Deal for Lake Nona

This isn’t just another new restaurant—it’s a major milestone for Lake Nona’s growing and diverse dining scene. Until now, those craving authentic Korean dishes had to travel to other parts of Orlando. BABBI BABBI’s arrival signals the area’s evolution into a true foodie destination, one that embraces global flavors and local favorites alike.

For residents, this means easy access to bold, exciting dishes that are perfect for a casual lunch, a family dinner, or a quick bite after work. And for Moss Park and East Park neighbors? It’s a new go-to spot just minutes away.
