I probably should've known what to expect after seeing all the ads for this place on social media…read more We came on Tuesday for Ladies Night advertised as 50% off everything, which wasn't true. Apparently, only entrees are 50% off and appetizers are not. The restaurant was also practically empty. It was just us and one other table the entire time we were there. As for the food, we were initially given a bag of Lay's chips, which was so random lol I'm guessing they ran out of side dishes. We ordered the corn cheese, pork rib, pork belly bean sprout, and seafood pancake. Unfortunately, every dish was bad. Corn cheese 0/5 - they literally dumped a can of corn and sprinkled melted artificial cheese Marinated pork ribs - 2/5, pork was tough and dry mostly bone and not a lot of meat. Pork belly bean sprouts - 1/5 watery and very little pork mostly bean sprouts and onion. The sauce was odd slightly sour, very salty, and just not a Korean flavor Seafood pancake 0/5!! You really can't go wrong with this dish but it was so bad. They added dry shrimp which made the dish extremely fishy which it shouldn't be. The worst part was that the dough was raw Very disappointing. Not even worth the discounted price.

Pocha 55 | Duluth, GA…read more A new Korean food spot in Duluth! They stay open until 2:30 AM (Friday & Saturday until 12:00 AM). Has a cool environment to sit down and drink with friends. Here's everything we tried: Spicy Braised Pork Ribs () The pot comes with about 6-7 pork ribs, bean sprouts, and radish. Don't let the clear-looking broth fool you, it is EXTREMELY spicy. The heat builds with every bite and honestly had our mouths on fire, but somehow we couldn't stop eating it. If you love spicy food, this is the dish to order! Rice Ball (Recommend ) A huge bowl of rice mixed with plenty of mayo and seaweed. Creamy, flavorful, and the perfect way to balance out the heat from the pork ribs. Spicy Stir-Fried Gopchang (Recommend ) Stir-fried beef intestines with vegetables and rice cakes. The outside had a slight crisp, while the inside stayed juicy and chewy. The spicy seasoning was packed with flavor and would pair perfectly with beer or soju. Cold Buckwheat Noodles Light, chewy, and refreshing. A great way to cool down after the spicy pork ribs. Fried Chicken Wings Classic Korean-style fried wings. Crispy and tasty, but the spicy dishes were definitely the highlights.

My boyfriend and I went to Las Flamas Restaurant with a friend I hadn't seen in years, so the whole…read moreidea was to relax, eat good food, and catch up for a few hours. Overall, it ended up being a really nice experience. The restaurant itself is super pretty, clean, and welcoming, and the service was very good from the moment we arrived. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel comfortable without being overbearing. We all ordered the picanha cooked medium with different sides, and for appetizers we shared tequeños. The tequeños were tasty and had good flavor, but they were a little overcooked since the cheese was already spilling out from the sides. Still good, just slightly overdone. The picanha itself was actually really flavorful and cooked perfectly medium like we asked. The meat had great seasoning and was definitely the highlight of the meal. I do think the sides had a little room for improvement though. The tostones tasted a bit old, like they had been sitting for a while, and my boyfriend ordered maduros that were unfortunately still too green to really be considered maduros. That said, aside from those little details, we still had a really good experience overall. Sometimes what makes a restaurant visit special is the atmosphere and the company you're with, and this ended up being such a nice place to sit, talk for hours, and reconnect with an old friend.

I have mixed feelings. They did an amazing ribeye, cooked to perfection. They did a very good Arepa…read more(sp?) with picanha. The rice was very good, a bit...buttery? Loved the homemade sauce (some sort of pickled veggie concoction), although my wife found it too sour. Service was mediocre. The restaurant was very slow, and there was definitely a language barrier, but still service could have been better. Also, price was bit high. Not terrible, and with better service it might not have been as noticeable. Dim lighting, but very clean. Trying to give an upscale feel, and it was nice. Again, I'm back to service. Btw: Venezuelan

As a hotpot vet, I was a bit bummed that they did not have a tomyum broth, but I asked the server…read morewhat was his fav broth, and he did not disappoint. I went with the spicy dashi which was flavorful and not overpowering with spice. I added a bit more to my liking from the buffet bar which was also nicely set up. Workers are constantly overlooking to keep the bar clean and stocked. They have a very good variety of veggies, noodles, seafood and even dumplings. The self serve icecream and bingsu also adds a nice touch to the sweetness after hotpot. My server was very attentive and swift ad he took care of multiple tables in his section. There was also a little sign asking for a 5 star review which they gave a little gift in return which was pretty sweet for my daughter. The nice lady which seemed to be the owner was very polite and engaging, making sure everything was ok and if we needed anything else. Definitely a very good experience and would come back here for hot pot.

Visited on Sunday evening with my boyfriend and ordered Combo B, which is the AYCE meat/seafood…read moreoption (that excludes premium rib-eye). For our broth bases, I chose the Mara while my boyfriend picked the Deungchon-- both were flavorful and great choices. While waiting for our hot pots and meat, I checked out the hot bar, which had side dishes like tteokbokki, japchae, fried rice, and more. I had some dishes from the bar as little appetizers, and they were tasty. For meats, we mostly ordered the non-fatty beef, brisket, and rib-eye. The meat quality was good. My boyfriend also ordered a round of clams and mussels. I personally wasn't too interested because they looked a bit unappealing, but he said they were okay. As a quick intermission from the shabu, we both enjoyed the shaved ice dessert. Unfortunately, near the end of our dining experience, while finishing our last plate of meat, my boyfriend noticed something crawling on the table. He lifted the water cup and found an inchworm. We think it may have come from one of the vegetables we grabbed earlier. We notified our server, who simply squished it and asked if we wanted a new cup. We declined and decided to leave. The inchworm incident definitely brought the experience down significantly, even though it happened near the end of our meal, and it honestly made me consider giving this place only two stars. However, I'm hoping it was just an unlucky mistake because I otherwise enjoyed 9292 Shabu and hope they improve their sanitation practices moving forward.

We have not been on the south side of 85 in a while. Driving thru we saw many possible lunch…read morechoices. Megan wanted a dining room meal not fast foo, so we picked Jinya based on my experience at the Athens location. It was a good choice! There are many restaurants in this plaza, so there is plenty of good parking. We were in after 1pm so the lunch crowd was mostly gone. The restaurant has the somewhat standard contemporary asian restaurant look. We were quickly seated at a window table. The menu is small but has what you want for a ramen restaurant. I ordered the original tonkotsu with crispy chicken topping. Megan ordered the chicken ramen. The order arrived quickly at our table along with some additional sauces. My ramen was outstanding. The pork slices were tender and delicious. I don't know how they flavor that egg but it is good! The broth was tasty but aggressively salted. The chicken topping was just the over the top thing I like. Megan liked her chicken ramen quite a bit, so much so she ate it all, not bring anything home. Yes I would come back next time I am hungry in the area. It was $47 plus tip including soft drinks. Seems to be an extensive bar here too if you are looking for that. Hey if you are across 85 at Costco thinking about lunch, come over here! Even if you don't come to Jinya there are better choices here that you might miss if you stay over there!

Returned before the ice storm. My favorite app idea the jinya buns and ordered 2 and a coke and ice…read moretea. The buns were as good as I remembered. I could have 2 of these and called it a day. Delish. I had the flying harvest veggie Ramen. Asked for it a little spicy and added hot sauce. It's got to be one of my favs. Again the broth is a little muddy for me and there are ramen place with a cleaner broth but very tasty. Love the broccolini and all the veggies. The raw onions are a bit much but good. I do like this place but again a bit pricey. For ramen and buns. But something you don't see often, cleaning. Owning a restaurant is 90% cleaning and 10% cooking. I know cuz we used to own a restaurant.

Honestly I'd give it a 3.5/5 because it was good but nothing too special…read more Ambiance: Large TVs to watch sports games and there is a bar, so good for casual hang out with friends! Service is fast too. Food: 3.5/5 - For reference, my ratings are food dependent. It is good don't get me wrong. 1) Gochujang and Cheese Rotisserie Chicken: Presentation is amazing! It comes on a hot sizzling plate that they roll over and do a table-side cheese show where they pour the melted cheese directly on top of the chicken in front of you. Big portion, I mean it's a whole chicken (not dry, relatively juicy, so it is a good quality chicken). Flavor wise, I feel like it needs more of the gochujang sauce because it just tasted like chicken with cheese on top. I do love cheese. The best part was the crispy rice at the bottom wow that was great, I loved it. 2) Corn Cheese: This wasn't good. First, the cheese was not very melty, it was hard like a block (perhaps they use a low fat content cheese-not sure). The flavor is also lacking, it just tasted like corn and cheese. I feel like there is still an art to corn cheese where it needs to have a bit of sweetness, some flavor and seasoning. Overall, I would come back if friends wanted to try. The chicken itself was good, so I would still re-order that or try something new! Skip the corn cheese.

Finally got to try the chicken feet dish and it did not disappoint. It is SUPER spicy however. So…read moredon't get it unless you can handle the heat. We originally ordered a side of rice to go with it but ended up also getting fries to eat with it which in my opinion was so much better and helped cut through the heat. Also ordered the seasnail dish and didn't realize it's a cold noodle dish but it was delicious as well and much less spicy. The staff were super friendly and attentive. We also went on a Thursday night at 8pm and the restaurant was quite empty. Perhaps it was too early or not a weekend. I would definitely try to go back. If I can bring more friends(only 2 people this visit) that would be better because all the dishes are big and meant for sharing.

The wings were decent and our spicy chicken dish was good but very spicy. They also had something going on with their table service that night. On the table there was a button that you press to call your server. Staff kept coming to our table pretty frequently despite us saying we had not pressed the button. Other than that, the staff were nice and it's a good place for drinking with friends.

I believe the cons outweighed the pros during our visit to Luxor, a unique noraebang (Korean…read morekaraoke establishment) in Duluth. Three stars is still okay, but I wouldn't consider myself a fan of this joint just yet. I called and made a reservation for 20 people on a Saturday night at 10pm. I was told over the phone that our group would get the biggest room in the house. When we arrived, on time, this was not the case. I think we got maybe the 2nd or 3rd largest room in the place. We got Room #6 which is a rectangular-shaped room with a long table running down the middle and an open, U-shaped couch lining three of the walls. This couch could seat 16 people max and we were all sitting rather snug. When all of our group was there, this meant that some people had to stand. Fail. It was already a bit uncomfortable for the 16 of us who were seated just to get up and move around, pass the mic and song book, order/grab drinks and food, etc. Due to our large group size, we were told there was a two-bottle minimum for the room. Bottles start at $100 per. We ordered Johnnie Walker ($100) and Grey Goose ($120). These two bottles got us 4 hours of karaoke. After tax and automatic 18% gratuity added to the bill, our total was about $300 for the room. For 20 people, this works out to only $15 per person, so it's actually a very good deal. (We were actually a few short of 20, so our per person total was higher.) Those two bottles weren't enough for our group, so we ordered an extra bottle (Crown Royal, $120). Someone in our group already paid for this bottle in advance, separately as soon as he ordered it. At the end, when it came time to pay the bill for the entire room, I was presented with a ticket with all 3 bottles on it. We almost got double-charged for the bottle of Crown! If we didn't question the staff about the extraneous line item, we would have paid an extra $120+ for nothing. After bringing this mistake to the staff's attention, they seemed apologetic. I just don't know for sure if it was an honest mistake or not. Apart from the small room size and billing discrepancy, some other things I did not like about Luxor were: (1) song selection access and (2) smoke. Actually, smoky environments don't bother me *that* much, but I thought it would be worth noting. Like Ai Tunes, Sound of Music, and other NRBs, Luxor has a restaurant/lounge/bar-type area outside the karaoke rooms where people can order food, drinks, and just hang out. It's smoky in this area, so be forewarned. I think Luxor actually has a good song selection, but accessing all these songs is a pain For example, I noticed they had Adele's Skyfall theme song in their database on the same weekend the Skyfall movie premiered. That's pretty impressive. Unfortunately, the song book only had a mere fraction of the songs that were actually in the system. Not only that, but there was only one remote for the entire room (and it was written in Korean) so it was bothersome to hand off the remote due to the aforementioned spacing issues, plus we had to keep asking our Korean friends to help operate the remote for us. All these issues aside, Luxor does have some great things going for it. While this place is super Korean and caters mainly to young Korean clientele, the staff are also young and Korean and thus, typically speak and understand English well. Everyone seemed friendly and attentive and service to our room was generally good. Each bottle of alcohol ordered came with regular glasses, shot glasses, mixers (Coca-Cola and cranberry juice), and platefuls of fruit and snacks. The fruit plate was beautifully presented and included pineapple, watermelon, grapes, oranges, kiwi, and strawberry. The snack plate had peanuts, seaweed, cuttlefish (win), banana chips, and a couple other extras. All of that was very nice and among the best snacks I've seen at any Atlanta-area KTV. The theme of this place is awesome. It's like you're singing karaoke in an Egyptian pyramid complete with wall carvings and hieroglyphics. Yes, it sounds bizarre and that's because it is. Outside the door of each the rooms are colored lights. They blink and light up when people are inside singing. Inside, the rooms have plenty of fun, colorful lighting from lasers to strobes to rotating, light-up disco balls. Our room had one big TV at one end and two smaller TVs in the corners of the opposite end. In general, the setup was nice -- we just had too many people for the room. The sound and video quality were good. One fellow Yelper described Luxor as it being "the Clermont of karaoke joints." I wouldn't go so far as to say that. The actual build-out is nice, but I did notice an exceptional number of drunk people here. There was vomit on the floors of both the men's and women's restrooms. Apparently, this is the karaoke joint to come to if you want to get wasted. As my friend CJ told me, Luxor is more of a place to drink rather than to karaoke.
