Came by on a Friday night with a party of 7 and had to wait about 15 minutes once the whole party got here. The customer service is amazing! I forgot our guy's name but he was so kind, helpful with suggestions & portioning, and noticed someone dropped their chopsticks and came back with a new pair (we didn't even see him nearby at the time!) - super attentive staff. Now onto the food - delicious!! We ordered the sotteok and corn for apps and the ribs, short rib, and stew for the mains (forgot the actual names). The banchan was refreshing and plentiful. Nice that the meal comes with rice for all. We really loved the bbq meats the most - they were so flavorful and fall off the bone tender. Corn was our fave app. Could have done without the sotteok and stew for more of the other items. Overall will definitely return & bring friends here! read more

Very fun and tasty experience! I would recommend coming in groups to try everything. Really enjoyed the bone in rib. The portion was huge as well as the galbi Jim. that had table side torched cheese!! So delicious! The soup was perfect in rice. Cheese fries and the Mac was absolutely a great side to go with the meal too. Service by John was amazing. He was helpful with the menu selection for our party of 7 and was on top Of refills and things we needed. Overall I will say go ahead and plan your visit! Worth every penny !! read more

Fire & Seoul - Korean Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

Located right next to Okiboru, this cozy spot was well worth the wait. Their menu is small, but their food takes a big hit on your taste buds. Come during off peak times so there is less of a wait. The side rooms fit 4 people comfortably. The middle tables seem a bit cramped with even 5 people. My favorite was the braised short rib! Cooked to perfection and fall of the bone tender. Very flavorful amongst all the dishes I've tried. If you order the Galbi Jjim is comes with a set of side dishes including kimchi slaw, scallion salad, Mac salad, & pickled vegetables. The kimchi cheese fries were good, I wouldn't get them again though. But the fries were hot and crispy. read more

Fire & Seoul is the sister restaurant of Okiboru and opened up recently so we were excited to try it. FOOD/DRINK: Beef Galbi JJIM (2 Ribs) + Torched Cheese - $49.99 + $4: Positives first, the meat had a decent wood-fired taste and this entree includes rice and side dishes. Unfortunately, for negatives, the portion of meat was pretty disappointing compared to the taste. The jjim came out in 5 minutes and was extremely lukewarm. The taste was also super off from what a Galbi jjim usually tastes like. The soup/sauce was way more watery than what it's supposed to be. It tasted more like a soy-sauced braised chicken than a jjim. Gochujang Pork Ribs - $16.99: Ribs were incredibly tough and not tender. There was not enough sauce and not enough flavor. Kimchi Cheese Fries - $8.99: The portion size was good, but the food came out cold and was too salty. Large Signature Frozen Makgeolli (Strawberry) - $22.99: This was the saving grace of the entire meal. It tasted like a lychee/strawberry slushie with a hint of alcohol. It was sweet and refreshing. Perfect for the summer! SERVICE: The servers were all chill and very accommodating. They were quick to fill our drinks and answer any questions. OVERALL: The portion size was pretty disappointing and I would expect warm food for the price. They also charge for side dishes and rice which is pretty unheard of. I don't see myself recommending this place or going back here. read more

Def lives up to the social media hype! Menu is currently online- https://ohbz.com/oo/fireandseoul-duluth-ga. The atmosphere is nice and the background music is a mix of Korean and English hip hop. Still a soft opening and all the servers are super attentive. We got the gochujang honey pork ribs and hot signature beef galbi JJIM. The latter comes with side dishes. Everything was amazing. The meats are very tender and juicy. The yuzu scallion salad was also delish! We'll def be back to try other dishes. read more

Wow! This is all I have to say about Fire & Seoul. This place serves wood fired barbecue using Korean flavors with an American barbecue flair. Everything is wood fired and made on the spot so it is extra fresh. There is not a lot on the menu since this place just opened, but I feel like the few options there are amazing. It is also very chic inside. Additionally, the service was great! The staff were very attentive and personable. Everything was kind of expensive so make sure to go with a group to lower prices. We ordered the Braised Short Rib, Gochujang Honey Pork Ribs, Signature Beef Galbi Jjim, and Sotteok. The Braised Short Rib and Honey Pork Ribs were so good! They were seasoned very well. Plus, the meat fell off so easily. The Signature Beef Galbi Jjim was also delicious. There were typical rice cakes inside as well as other items common in a beef stew. The Sotteok was also yummy and seasoned well. The side dishes such as the kimchi and mac salad were super good as well. I definitely fell into a food coma after eating here. I would recommend Fire & Seoul if you are looking for a unique dining experience. read more

my friend really wanted to try fire & seoul, and the menu and pictures looked very promising. we arrived on a saturday for lunch, and there was nobody else in the restaurant. i imagine that it'd be busier around dinner time. they have more private rooms for seating on the side, which was nice. service was friendly, and food came out pretty quickly. they also provided unlimited banchan, which included kimchi, pickled vegetables, and macaroni salad. - signature beef galbi jjim (2/5): the portion was generous, but the entire dish came lukewarm and almost cold, which was offputting. the server didn't completely torch the cheese, so there were still lumps of hard cheese throughout the stew, which was watery and weirdly grainy. the meat itself was tender. the flavor was decent, although a little bland, and it could've been a little sweeter. we also ordered it at medium spice, and it wasn't spicy at all. i probably wouldn't order this again - f&s beef back rib (4/5): we wanted to try the f&s braised short rib, but it was out that day so we ordered the beef back ribs instead. it also came out lukewarm but warmer than the galbi jjim. i loved that the meat was fall-off-the-bone, and i also liked the marinade, which was smoky, sweet, and salty with a hint of spice. i was surprised by how nicely fused the american bbq and korean flavors were - sotteok sotteok (3/5): this was the only dish that came out hot! it was also both my friend's and boyfriend's least favorite dish. the sotteok came with a sweet glaze, which i liked but could've used more of because most of it was a little bland. the sausages added much needed flavor. i liked the texture of the rice cakes, which were slightly crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and charred from the grill excited that atl is getting galbi jjim, although i had higher hopes that it would match daeho or sun nong dan on the west coast. i think the most disappointing thing was that the dishes came out lukewarm and almost cold, which ruined the experience for me. if they could fix the temperature, i think that the fire-grilled meat alone would make it worth stopping by for a nice american and korean bbq fusion. read more

Pretty good. Not your standard kbbq. More of American Korean bbq hybrid. Menu isn't big for now. The short rib is really good. The jjim had a little too much going on in it but still very flavorful. Looking forward to them expanding the menu. read more

Love seeing more Galbi Jjim options come to Duluth! Service was great. It's located and attached to Okiboru next door. Felt homey with private rooms that can seat 4 ppl. Purely food based review: Galbi Jjim - Great value at $54 with 5 sides + torched cheese. Our meat was tender, good amount of vegetables. Sauce wasn't as thick nor as spicy as we thought at medium level. Would get again at this price. Braised Beef Ribs - Really good, but for $44 we wished portions were bigger. Would've gotten another Galbi Jjim or other sides. read more

Fire & Seoul - Korean Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

Fire and Seoul is a fun new spot currently in its soft opening right next to Glam 104, it's a bit of a mixture of American and obviously, Korean, bbq. My husband and I came with my brother in law around 7pm on a Wednesday. The center of the restaurant has long bench-seat tables, reminiscent of eating at an American bbq hall, whereas the sides of the restaurant have private dining areas which I think seat up to 4 comfortably. We were seated immediately in a roomy side room. Our server was super attentive with drinks and service, I really appreciated how he explained how many people each dish could feed and gave a few recommendations which ended up being the perfect amount of food for the 3 of us. We ordered beef braised short rib, which came out in 3 thick pieces, right on the bone. The meat literally slid right off the bone it was so tender and juicy! We also ordered the kalbi Jim (added cheese of course which our server flambéed right at our table!) and the kimchi cheese fries. Several banchan, or side dishes, also came with the meal. There are the standard alcohol options, including the new jinro pink (sugar free) soju, which is still kind of rare, so that was a cool find! All the food was clearly cooked with care. The flavors are both traditional and unique (our green onion salad had citron flavor which was super surprising and also refreshing!). In the next few weeks, they plan on expanding their menu to offer more options, including more individualized portions, so we will definitely be going back to try that. This is a great spot to check out if you're in the Pleasant Hill area and looking for something different than the 100+ kbbq options, but still want something rooted in Korean flavor. 10/10 recommend! read more

**soft opening** we ordered the Jjim and it was DELICIOUS! for two people we absolutely demolished all of it! The meat was so soft and it came with a bunch of veggies. The meal even came with banchan and I LOVED the Mac salad! For starters we got the sotteok which I think I ate the whole thing in under a minute. The staff here so sweet and attentive, can't wait to come back!! read more

The galbijjim was underwhelming but the gochujang pork ribs were delicious and the reason why this is 4 stars and not 3. I am not a galbijjim expert but theirs was quite thick and gritty, like the potatoes were disintegrated into it or something, and the beef was just ok, they were smaller chunks and not nicely caramelized like they make it at Jang Su Jang. It also didn't have much of a kick to it, though we asked for medium spicy. The torched cheese was nice but didn't overcome how weirdly thick the stew was. It was a good thing that the gochujang ribs were delicious, perfectly seasoned and tender. If I come back, I would most likely just go for the bone-in ribs. The frozen makgeolli was also good. read more

Love love this place ! We had braised beef ribs that was melt off the bone good !!! Full of flavor, moist and tender!! The sides are just as tasty We will be back for sure !! read more

Fire & Seoul - Braised beef ribs - Korean Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

I was super stoked to try this place while I was in ATL. We ordered the braised short rib, pork ribs and galbi jjim. The short ribs were good but very pricey for the portion. The galbi jjim (braised beef stew) tasted good, but not amazing. We got level 3 spicy and it wasn't spicy at all. The consistency and color of it was not like a real galbi jjim and it seemed like a lot of the potatoes disintegrated into the stew. Service was great, and whoever was serving us was amazing. I do agree with the other reviews that rice should be the bare min coming with this dish. It's like ordering chips and salsa separate. Lastly, the biggest thing that bothered me was the food got COLD quick or even came out lukewarm. There is nothing to keep the food insulated/warm and eating pricey meat when it's barely lukewarm is not tasty. read more

@fireandseoulatl recently opened and we had to give them a try. The concept of blending between Korean and American flavors is certainly different among the myriad of Korean restaurants in Duluth area. Yet, the Korean flavors are still preserved. Their signature is galbi jjim; we added torched cheese for aesthetic effect (or you can say, for the 'gram). Price is reasonable. Interior is clean. Service is very friendly. read more

My wife and I popped in here after seeing a couple reviews on Atlanta Asian Eats and we're so glad we did. Everything was delicious. We ordered the Sotteok which was grilled on a wood fire, the Galbi Jjim which was honestly the best beef stew I've ever tasted with the most tender meat, and baked beans, which I didn't try but my wife loved. The service was fast and the owner/chef Jonathan even came over and talked to us for a while. Their still developing their menu, but everything already on it is fantastic. read more

The place isn't very big, but the seating was great for us. They offer several private, single-room seating options, which I absolutely loved! It was just me and my fiancé, and the setup made our dinner feel so intimate yet not claustrophobic. This isn't your typical Korean BBQ where you cook at your table, but they still serve most of the delicious sides you're used to. The meat portions are generous--what I'd describe as family-sized. Now, the food... wow, just wow. We had the braised short ribs, and they were absolutely delicious--amazingly tender and packed with flavor. We also tried the JJIM signature beef galbi, which was served with an array of sides and rice. The service was excellent. Our server and everyone we interacted with were so friendly and welcoming. The owner even stopped by to chat with us, which really impressed me. Overall, it was an outstanding experience, and the fact that it's so close to home makes it even better. Great food, great people--just good vibes all around. read more

This was just incredible! I can't wait to go back! The portions are generous and we got the F&S Braised Short Rib and the Signature Beef Galbi JJIM spice level:Medium and added Torched Cheese. We had to take leftovers home because the portions are so big. I can't recommend the JJIM highly enough - it was like a warm nostalgic hug. Ultimate comfort food! The medium spice level was super nice. It left me just about to start sweating which was nice with the colder weather coming in. Our server couldn't have been sweeter and more attentive. I want to try the hot spicy level as well when I return! read more

The servers are fantastic, and the staff is great honestly. The food has no flavor, especially the $45 short ribs! I don't care if the meat can fall off the bone; I care about tasting seasonings. The honey ribs were awful. The smoked flavor was barely present and I could barely finish my rib. read more

Would love to try the food. Came on a Sunday, checked google and made sure they were open, only to find that the restaurant is closed starting 12/22, no announcement on social media, which is their only contact. There's nothing more annoying about a restaurant than unannounced closures. read more

Really enjoyed the food and service here. The food was delicious and I think the concept was very interesting too. Probably going to try out all the items in the menu over time read more

This is a sister restaurant to one of my favorite eating establishments in Atlanta, so when I heard they were opening Fire & Seoul in Duluth I had to go try it. The environment of the restaurant was very welcoming, the staff was exceptionally friendly. The menu was very short and very pricey. I asked my server what he would recommend, he recommended the Dino bone-in short rib. So I place 2 orders of Dino bone in, 70$ for 2 orders. The portions were extremely small, I almost ate 1 order within a few bites with rice. I would expect that an entree would at least be somewhat filling. Even when I brought it up to the manager at the time he admitted that the portions were small and that they're working on it. Granted, I did go on their soft opening, I'm hoping to visit again in a few months. Hopefully they improve their portions or adjust their price. read more

The food was delish! The fire wood really gives the food a nice pop of flavor. The Dino ribs were definitely my favorite. It's a must try.

Food is excellent. Quality and flavor hits every time. Service is very attentive and staff seem very happy. Being able to see the bbq take place towards the front of the restaurant and ordering the beef jjim when they touch the cheese is a vibe. 10/10 will recommend to family, friends, or anyone who just wants a low key date night with amazing food. read more
