    My sisters love this place and brought me here with my mom. They took over on ordering the letter A and grabbed 5 different meats. Everything was the bomb dot com. My fav was the corn with cheese. Omgosh that's so amazing. Also the bean sprouts are so yummy. I would definitely recommend this place for real authentic Korean food.

    Whenever I'm craving Gogi sundubu-jjigae, this is my absolute go-to spot! It tastes exactly like home--just like how my mom used to make it.

    Excellent customer service. The wait staff was very polite and attentive. They explained what every dish was and the spices and sauces that came with it. Combo A is more than enough doe 2 people. Make sure you go with a big appetite. It's a small restaurant and it's first come and first serve for seating. I would recommend this place and will definitely try it again.

    This place is DELICIOUS! The entire staff was so friendly! We will definitely be regulars! No more driving to ATL when we got this amazing gem right in our backyard!!!! The atmosphere is quiet enough for you to be able to talk to your party and actually hear them! Small and perfect! Definitely reminds me of the restaurants we would visit in Korea!!!! A++++

    Wow. Food was sooo good. The bulgogi lacked flavor a little, but everything else was delicious. We got the small shared plate; it came with an assortment of meats and sides. Our favorites were the spicy pork & short ribs. My only tiff is that you will leave smelling like smoke, so don't go on a day you just got a fresh blow out. Other than that, I will be back!

    Place was small but the food was delicious. Service was really great as well. I was a little afraid to try after reading some of the reviews but we didn't experience any bad service. The place fills up quickly so thankful we went early. Banchan (side dishes) tasted fresh and they constantly asked if we would like refills. The corn cheese was also tasty - good mix of sweet corn with the saltiness of the cheese. I really enjoyed the tofu soup as an appetizer. As part of the combo you have to pick one type and it comes out in a big pot for all to share. It was boiling hot when it came out and the broth was very flavorful. Tofu was nice and silky soft. The 2 platters of meat came out sizzling hot and they were perfectly seasoned. You get a small dipping plate and I enjoyed the sesame oil with salt and pepper the most, in addition to the gochujang on the side. There was a lot of food and I'm glad we got the combo instead of stressing out about what to get them to cook next. Took about an hour for us to get and eat our meal and I have to agree that it's probably the best in this area. Can't really get better than this unless you're cooking it yourself and the counties here will not allow open flames in restaurants. (will not be able to ever do a true cook yourself KBBQ like the many ones in ATL) We didn't get to hang out after eating amongst ourselves very much as there were already people waiting on a table and we wanted them to be able to enjoy an awesome meal as well! Overall I really enjoyed it and would come back. I recommend getting the combo!!

    Tofu soup

    Been twice now and have had great experiences. Service was pretty speedy even with them being busy. Would go early at 5pm because they fill up fast and it's not super big. We've gone as a group of 4 and order meal c and left super full...2 large platter of kbbq meat, a soup (3 to choose from but we love the tofu soup), cheesy corn, salad and banchan (they have an interesting wasabi cucumber)). Haven't tried the AYCE since we're worried it would take longer to get our food. I do wish they would tell us which cut of meat when they bring out the trays so in case we wanted to add a la carte we'd know which to add. Also love the dipping sauces the sesame oil is my favorite.

    Combo A

    The combos are a really good deal for the price and food. All the sides were delicious, the service was FAST, and the food exceeded my expectations. (I just moved to GA from Cali. IYKYK) I'm excited to come try the lunch menu.

    Chicken Bulgogi
    Christine S.

    This is the first time I have tried Korean BBQ. The inside of the restaurant is slightly small. The menu was a little confusing. The combos were cheaper than the entrees, so I'm not sure if I was reading it incorrectly. The waitress dropped off a bunch of dishes but didn't explain what any of them were. It may just have been my ignorance, but I had no idea what we were eating. I asked the table next to us and they said the same so maybe it's not just me! I ordered the chicken bulgogi, and it came with a ton of food. The food was delicious, but I found it to be pricey. I enjoyed the wasabi picklesand whatever dressing came on the salad. It was yellow and had the consistency of applesauce and was very sweet. From what I have heard from friends the all you can eat is a bargain. All in all, good lunch. I just wish the wait staff were more informative.

    Stopped by Seoul Korean Kitchen the other day to try their Jjajangmyeon and kimchi jjigae…read more Banchan 3.5/5: The kimchi was pretty standard, similar to what you would get from a decent brand at H mart. The bean sprouts were a bit salty. Chili cucumber was well seasoned and refreshing, and the sliced fish cake was the highlight with a slight sweet and sesame oil flavor. Each dish supposedly comes with a banchan, but if you eat with another person, then you get 1 set of banchan only with 1 refill and additional refills cost $2.50 which was different from most cities I have been to with a more established asian food scene (Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, etc). jjajangmyeon 4/5: The jjajangmyeon had decent portions. The noodles were really nice and chewy, and the sauce on top had a slight sweetness to it that made it different from the chinese jiajiang mian I normally eat. There were plenty of zucchini and onion pieces, and the pork was tender and just a bit fatty which I enjoyed. Highlight of the meal. Kimchi Jjigae 3/5: The kimchi jjigae comes with kimchi, tofu, and pork pieces in a stew and a side of rice. The stew itself comes out piping hot but is almost 90% kimchi and minimal tofu and pork. Very few pieces of tofu and pork, unlike the jjajangmyeon which had more generous amounts of pork. The rice bowl it comes with is quite small. We ran out well before the kimchi stew was completed, and they charge $2 for rice refills. Overall, the food was decent and service is solid. Pricing was slightly steep with a bowl of jjajangmyeon (noodles with stir fry pork sauce overlying) running at $19 and a bowl of mostly kimchi and a few pieces of tofu/pork pieces costing $17. Their banchan/rice refill policy is questionable, but the food scratches the itch in a city with a smaller Korean population and minimal competition.

The owner, Ms. Min came in as we were finishing up and greeted us with a big, warm smile. She came to our table and chatted with us for a few minutes. Very sweet lady. We enjoyed eating there and their hospitality. Will definitely go again. The place was very clean and pleasant. Good for groups too with ample seating. Please do visit and support this local business.

Got the grilled chicken & steak, which was solid. The grilled chicken had a great char flavor, while the steak tasted like something you'd eat at a hibachi restaurant. The fried rice wasn't oily or dry, best part was how's the portion was. Got a side of 6 piece gyoza which was meat and vegetable filled; that was also non oily and fried just right.

The atmosphere looks nice, if a tad plain.

Fast food style service and the annoying receipt signing which fast food shouldn't have was present. Also, the toilet wouldn't flush. All over, I'm not sure it really earned the star I gave it.

But I found this little spot in a shopping center on the outskirts and they're doing some stuff right. I was drawn in by a wallet-friendly lunch special menu, which yielded a decent variety of vegetable and tofu-based options. My tofu with hot peppers was a very credible Hunan-style dish as the place's name would suggest, with dried hot peppers and a lively black bean sauce. The option for brown or fried rice was no extra charge, or if you did want to pay more you could get lo mein instead. I added a spring roll, which compared to my main dish was a bit overpriced but was tasty and, as with the other dishes around me, nicely plated. Their menu suggests a Malaysian influence as well, and I'd be happy to return for dinner to try something different.

I scan the menu and since they have bulgogi on the menu, just figured some Korean people owned it. And they do. This review is based on my first impression since I've never been here before. The lady that owns it has her beautiful paintings displayed. So when you walk in, they are all over the walls. I didn't know it was a takeout only place. There's a couple of tables you can sit and wait at, but no food served inside. When I got there, I wanted to wash my hands. NO PUBLIC RESTROOMS which was a bummer. I ordered myself a Philly Cheesesteak. I got a plain cheeseburger for my dad, and my mom tried their Korean fried chicken. I didn't know the chicken was gonna be wings. And not even whole wings. It was 8.99 for 6. Delicious? Yes. Will I order it again? Don't think so. I did leave 4 stars because it's not their fault we're going through inflation. My cheesesteak was delicious, but too much mayo. I didn't even know Mayo was standard on a Philly Cheesesteak. I like mayo, but they could've left half of it off. The cheeseburger was a basic burger I paid $8.99 for and since my dad wasn't feeling well that day, only ate half and I asked if it was okay. He said it was "okay". He's hard to please anyways. The owner was very friendly and the next time I'm in the area, I'll try the chicken or beef bulgogi to see what's really up! I would've got the combo meal if you could've substituted the fries with fried rice, but that's not how they do it. Fried rice is entree sized made to order and if you want it, you pay and there are no substitutions.
