    A couple pieces of the Kimchi Korean Fried Chicken with a little bit of the kimchi, onion, and spicy mayo drizzled on top at home. Takeout.
    Daniel B.

    I give Kimchi Red Johns Creek / Suwanee a solid four stars. Their Korean fried chicken is quite good. It can stand up to the best I've had in metro Atlanta over the years. I think it's excellent plain without any sauce, actually. The texture is pretty much perfect, inside and out. Outside, you get that delectable extra crispy and crunchy skin and batter. Inside, the meat is tender and moist, even the pieces of white meat. And it's not too greasy. We've gotten takeout from this place twice now: yesterday and a week ago today. Here's what we've had so far: Korean Fried Chicken * Kimchi ($37.99) - mild, topped in a kimchi and onion stir-fry sauce, drizzled with mayo * Kang Nam ($32.99) - topped with fresh sautéed onions in a yogurt sauce, sprinkled with parsley and red seasoning Kimchi Red Plates * 4. Japchae Plate (japchae only, $13.99) - stir-fried clear glass noodles with vegetables Specials * Kimchi Fried Rice ($15.99) - topped with an over-easy egg Tteok Bokki * Rosé ($14.99) - mild, stir-fried rice cakes in a creamy tomato Alfredo sauce With takeout, the chicken is served in a box with an open top and sauces are served on the side to maintain the chicken's crispy texture. The default "plain" batter is adequately seasoned and tasty to me. Portion sizes are generous. The menu says each serving serves two people, but it's really more like three or four people unless you eat a lot. Both of our orders have been original bone-in chicken and I believe it was 12 pieces per order. Options besides bone-in include wings and boneless. Our leftovers have heated up amazingly well in our air fryer. The texture of the batter comes out just as good, if not better (!), and the meat stays juicy. Both the Kimchi and Kang Nam sauces are fresh and flavorful. The Kimchi sauce is kind of intense, but it pairs well with the chicken and is distinct to this restaurant. I recommend it. It's their signature sauce. The Kang Nam sauce is different. I think it's Kimchi Red's version of "snow onion" chicken, which is the most yogurty snow onion chicken I've had. I like it OK, but I don't think it's for everyone. I do think the sauce is nice because it's a refreshing contrast and cooldown from spicy chicken and sides like the tteokbokki. The Japchae was terrific. It's above average for restaurant-quality japchae. Ours included veggies like chives and wood ear fungus, which I appreciated. Very yummy. The Tteokbokki was fantastic as well. I wanted to try the "Rosé" sauce, which I think is named as such because of the combination of red (tomato) and white (Alfredo) sauces to form a pink sauce (it's more like red-orange). For us, the consistency of the rice cakes was ideal. The Rosé sauce is unique and flavorful, and definitely worth a try. The Kimchi Fried Rice was fine. It had some nice crispy bits as well as some unique sauces and seasonings like (I think) spicy mayo, seaweed, and sesame seeds. This is a satisfying dish. Everything has been presented nicely, even for takeout. Service has been good. Jinny was helpful in recommending items. During our first visit, an owner/manager went around the dining room asking customers what they thought of the chicken. He seemed proud of the product and explained things like they change the cooking oil everyday. I called in yesterday's order and spoke with (I think) Jinny again who communicated well; she read my order back to me and also confirmed the Kimchi Red location for pickup. There are currently three Kimchi Red locations in metro Atlanta: 1. Alpharetta, opened October 2021. 2. Johns Creek / Suwanee (this one), opened April 2024. 3. Peachtree Corners at Politan Row at The Forum, opened January 2025. This is a fast-casual restaurant where you order at the counter. If you call in an order, you pay in person at pickup. This location is in the Kroger shopping center near the intersection of 141 (Peachtree Pkwy) and McGinnis Ferry Rd.

    Kfc- cant remember the sauce! Bussing tho lol

    On a day where work was slow I decided to get something different for lunch. After seeing this place months ago, and off the strength of a recommendation- I heard the KFC was elite on this side of town! Kimchi red was busy! Almost every able filled, but the restaurant was clean, minimalistic in design (plus), and inviting. I ordered A LOT! The portions are huge so one thing is enough for two people for sure. I had the original chicken bone in, with a sweet and spicy sauce. The chicken was crispy, hot, and flavorful. (4.5/5). I also tried the kimchi fried rice (3.5/5) which was good. We also tried the soy garlic wings. They gave me about 25 wings lol portions are huge! They were just as good as the KFC (4.7/5). The best part of Kimchi red was the owner. I believe her name is Ana! She greeted me warmly, made smart recommendations, and checked in on me consistently throughout the meal! The most impressive thing, i could feel her gratefulness for each guest who is frequenting her business. Ana, thank you- you are what restaurant owners should be. Keep your smile. Yall pull up! AND BE NICE TO MY FRIEND!

    On the pricier side and food is localized Korean flavors but fresh and tasty nevertheless. Food - 4/5 Service - 4/5 Ambiance - 3.5/5

    Buldak ramen with fried chicken ? Say no more, this was sooooo good! My husband and I waited to enjoy this with some friends so we could try different variations and this one by far was the best. I just wish they let you order a side of ramen because 4 people were trying to get this ramen. The chicken portions are big enough for 4 people I guess depends on how hungry you come but the ramen portions are small and you cannot order a side, which is the only downside. Overall, great option for comfort food

    2 cup of sauce.
    Vu L.

    What a rip off. Not sure if it was the cashier fault or what but it is unacceptable that they charged you $5 for 2 small cup of sauce... first time eating here and this will leaves you a sour taste and I will never come back

    Kimchi Red should be on every person's to-try list! Ambience of this place is super casual, but neat and clean. Service is great, I've had the owner personally come and check up on us the 2 times I've dined here. As for the food, it is awesome! We got the traditional Kimchi Fried Chicken and K-Mega fried. Both tasted so good! Love this place.

    Self service restaurant ,modern deco ,comfortable dinning and friendly staff . I like their Kim chi fried rice .

    Red Buldak

    Food was very good. Workers treated us well and were very nice. Only thing that could've made the experience better was timing of food coming out. It took 30ish minutes to get the fries, then an additional 7ish minutes for chicken.

    Marcia P.

    I can definitely tell why people are hyping Kimichi Red so much, the chicken comes out hot and fresh, breading isn't too much and the chicken is super juicy. We ordered the original Spicy-Jeon Ju which is a sweet and spicy sauce. The portion is enough for 3 people, about 3-4 pieces of chicken. We also got the K-Mega Fries, loaded with onions, cilantro, melted cheese and kimchi, don't really recommend as it didn't suit our liking but unique to try. The place is very clean, has plenty of seating and is well decorated for christmas. I am only taking off a star due to my first impression of the place. We came right at opening and were the first one there. The person behind us were greeted and given a great hospitality when her order was taken but we however, didn't get the same treatment. It wasn't until we started whipping out our phones to vlog and take pictures of the food that she was a lot friendlier.

    Jan. 18, 2025 We ordered the Rose Chon Fried Chicken. It is tossed in a creamy, tomato-based Alfredo Parmesan sauce (contain cashew nuts) Spicy level: mild It was crunchy and flavorful. I highly recommended and there are so many other flavors. Will definitely come back to try more when I'm back in the area again.

    I kept seeing Kimchi Red all over my Instagram feed, so I finally went with a friend for her birthday -and it did not disappoint! We left absolutely stuffed and satisfied. Everything we ordered was packed with bold, flavorful spices. We both have a pretty high spice tolerance, and even then we had runny noses from the heat-- but we were loving every bite! If it's your first time, I'd recommend starting with just one half chicken before going all in - the portions are super filling!

    Kimchi Chicken
    Dominic E.

    Highly overrated. I've heard over and over that this is the best Korean Fried Chicken in America. It definitely did not live up to that hype. It was ok, but was not worth the wait and was certainly not significantly better any other Korean Fried Chicken place (like BB.Q Chicken or CM Chicken). I'd definitely comeback during a non-busy time, but I'm in no rush to come here over any of the other establishments. The chicken was perfectly fried and crispy. It was nicely flavored and had the perfect kimchi flavor. But the wait was so long and we never got one thing we ordered. Because the wait was so long, I just requested a refund.

    The food is really good! They offer a wide range of sauces with the chicken from spicy to sweet. The chicken is juicy and perfectly cooked. The prices are fair for the amount of food you get. The spicy soy garlic sauce was FANTASTIC! They also offer quite a few vegetarian sides and dishes which surprised me. It does take a while to get your food because they make it fresh. Our order came out in two parts. They also forgot our kimchi fried rice but we were already full so not a big deal. They also instantly refunded the money. The bathroom was also spotless. Two things I did didn't really like. Plastic cutlery/styrofoam cups and the smallest sides of kimchi that you have to pay for. I would certainly come back. Recommended.

My only note is that the oysters seemed a bit smaller this time around. Service was quick and attentive. The ambiance was quiet and relaxed since we went around 5 p.m. on a Thursday. I'd come back if I were in the area and craving it again, but I do wish they offered a fried seafood platter. A lot of the appetizers sound good, but ordering them individually is pricey.
