    Giving two stars for the nice service, if not then only one star. The service was nice but sooo so slow and we had to flag server down multiple times for many things! Food wise: 1 star. The food was quite nasty to be honest. The beef and pork skewers were TINY! And half of the skewer was the fatty meats that you cannot even chew through. On one of the lamb skewers, there was a piece of hair too but my friends are nicer than me, cause they just took the hair off and said it'll be fine since we're grilling the meat lol. It was flavorless as well. They expect you to just use the dry seasoning for the food. The fried pork, please!?!? What pork ?!? There was absolutely no meat in the sweet and sour pork. It was thin! All you could taste was oil and fried dough. We also got the stirred fried squid. But the sauce was sooo bad. For $20! There was barely any squid. The sauce was definitely weird tasting. The cold noodles were probably the only thing that was decent. But, not much flavor as well. Also, after one or two rounds of grilling you need extra charcoal if not then the meat will not cook and takes forever. Again, we didn't know and had to flag down our server. Overall, would not recommend this establishment! The food here is nasty and pricy! The ambiance and space was messy and there were a bunch of empty cardboard boxes against the wall.

    Absolutely loved this hidden gem in Doraville! The lamb skewers were juicy and flavorful, and the Guo Bao Rou (crispy sweet & sour pork) was hands-down the best I've had in years. Also loved the cold noodles with pickled veggies--super refreshing! Great drink options like fruity soju and honey pomelo tea. Perfect spot for groups too--they have big tables and even private rooms. Will definitely be back!

    It's been the hidden spot. The sweet and sour pork was so good. The new salad dish was killing it.t

    I was scoping out Yelp for something different to eat for dinner and Kochi Maru popped up in my suggestions. It has mixed reviews but sometimes you find diamonds in the rough. Service is hands-off as many reviewers noted, but we kinda enjoyed being able to have a conversation without interruption. We didn't mind getting our own drink refills from the deli fridge that was nearby and when we were ready to go, it was not hard to get our server's attention for to-go containers. Now to describe the food ... Delicious! We went overboard in our ordering, which made our tab pretty expensive only because we couldn't decide what we wanted to try on our first visit. Notice I said first visit - hubby declared as we were leaving, "we will come back!". LOL . Here's run down of the items we ordered: Spicy Rice Noodle soup - top dish of the night! So flavorful! We wish it had more veggies, it was noodle heavy. More bok choy, more bean sprouts, and more bean curd (there was only 2pcs) please. Salted Vegetables (cold dish) - tied for top dish of the night!! The picture on the menu had more variety of veggies than what we received, but the flavor was outstanding so it was ok. Spicy, slightly salty (not in a bad way), savory, fresh - amazing! Skewers... Lamb - these were hubby's favorite Beef - better than other places but needed the extra spice they give you at the table. Pork Belly - alright, also needed the extra spice. I found that eating the pork belly with the beef enhanced the bite. Chicken - surprisingly very good. Moist and flavorful. Bacon Mushroom - another winner. Bacon could have been cooked a bit more for additional texture contrast (I like crispy bacon best) "Exotic" menu choice was BBQ Pork Feet - we try our best to try something new that we have never eaten before anytime we can and this fit the bill. Wasn't bad, but probably would not order again. If you like the fatty part of pork belly or a steak, you would like these. All in all - give Kochi Maru a try. Enjoy the delicious relaxing laid back meal and definitely try the soup and cold salad!

    The food was tasty but the portion was too small for a large group. Service was great as there was not that many people inside the store. Good place to hangout for couples or small groups of friends.

    Authentic and delicious Chinese food. The skewers are great, juicy and tender and easy to remove from stick. I recommend trying out the pork belly skewer and sweet and sour pork!

    I didn't think I'd like it but it was good, I loved the spice/seasoning they provided to dip the meat in. Do be warned that it takes a bit for the meat to cook and you can only put very few skewers at once. Also, the skewers are small so it can be very easy to spend more than intended though you do get a good amount per order. Place is small and not very accomodating for very large groups but still definitely worth a visit.

    Lamb skewers
    Briana N.

    Overall a pretty decent place to grab a meal, but I wouldn't say I was wow-ed or anything. To start, the service was very slow, which was confusing because the restaurant was not busy at all at the time. We had a hard time getting the workers attentions even when they were in view and it kind of seemed like they were trying to avoid checking up on us. Eventually, we were able to put in our order and we got: Lamb skewers - these were delicious and pretty tender! They were seasoned well and I like that we had a plate of this spice rub that we could add on if we wanted. Definitely a solid choice. Pork belly skewers - these were definitely more fatty so depending on your preference, you might like these more. But I preferred the lamb. But still, so yummy! Rice cakes - I loved these. The texture was magnificent. So crispy on the outside but still so soft and chewy on the inside. I do wish they had drizzled some honey on it, because I think that would have taken it to the next level, but still good! Bread with condensed milk - I think I was most disappointed with these. It was still good but I wish we had more condensed milk. Because the breads are pretty thick, and there was only a thin drizzle of condensed milk, there was a lot of plain dry bread we had to get through. And we asked for some more condensed milk but it was like they added a few more drizzles and that was it. Maybe if you get this, ask if you can get like a dipping container on the side or something.

    Sweet and sour pork

    Had a bunch of lamb sticks and sweet and sour pork. The food was alright and I thought sweet and sour pork was a bit subpar.

    I saw this place being advertised on social media so decided to give it a try. We came on a Saturday evening and it was empty. The decor was very random (huge cartoon figures on the wall), outdated chairs and tables, dark lighting, one tv screen playing Chinese songs. I've had Chinese skewers so I know what it tastes like. It's a good price $18 for 10 skewers - usually it's much pricier in other places. I ordered the beef, lamb, pork, and chicken. The quality was very inconsistent. Some of the meat was tender while others were really tough. I was disappointed at the lack of consistency with the meat. It was bland. I could taste the spice but it still lacked flavor. You are given a mixture of spices on your plate but it still wasn't enough. We also didn't receive any service. The server didn't stop by our table. We had to physically get up and look for him. A pretty disappointing experience.

    The experience was absolutely fantastic! The owners came to the table, chatted with us, showed us how to grill the food, and told us their story. Definitely the BEST Korean BBQ in Atlanta. And of course the food was absolutely DELICIOUS! * La experiencia fue absolutamente fantástica! Los dueños vinieron a la mesa, charlaron con nosotros, nos mostraron cómo asar la comida y nos contaron su historia. Definitivamente el MEJOR korean bbq en Atlanta. Y, por supuesto, la comida era absolutamente DELICIOSA!

    Lamb, Beef, Pork Belly Skewers
    John H.

    This Chinese-Korean skewer place still holds its own against the competition with their unique skewer cooking tables. Just note that the drinks fridge is sometimes self-service and the waiters won't always check up on you. Purely food based review: Lamb - My personal favorite, juicy and not too gamey. Beef - Pretty standard and great with the numbing spice mix. Pork Belly - Really juicy and another great option to get. Shrimp - They cooked ours so you'll have to work to get it off the shell. Pretty decent. Squid - precooked and cut for us, really good with the spice glazed over it. Beef Tripe salad - Numbing spice and cuts of tripe, I'd only order if you like it. Beef Cucumber Salad - A good option to get alongside all the skewers! Note that rice is extra but portions are sharable between 2 people.

    beef, beef tongue, and chicken heart skewers

    I originally found this restaurant while scrolling through Instagram reels and thought the concept was fresh: skewers that you can roast yourself. However, we found that you have to specifically request to roast your own skewers (at no extra charge). Otherwise, they came out a bit cold from the kitchen. The prices are a bit expensive ($18 for entrees such as lamb or beef). The more exotic meats that we tried (chicken heart and beef tongue) tasted good but were about $10 for 4-5 skewers of each, if I remember correctly. As another review mentioned, they give you an extra plate of savory, powdered seasoning to dip your skewers in. Additionally, we tried the spicy lamb soup, which was spicy (burns your throat the same way chili oil would if swallowed too fast/incorrectly) and had a generous amount of lamb. I would say give this place a try if you're into meat skewers!

We were a party of 5 and found both the food and the service to be inconsistent. The Food: Most dishes were mediocre or worse. The Three Cups Chicken (1/5) was the worst I've ever had. The Hong Kong Style Shrimp (1/5) was just bland, tasteless fried shrimp. The Lamb with Scallion (2/5) was far too salty. The only "average" dish was the Spicy Beef and Tendon (3/5), but one decent dish can't save a meal this poor. The Service & Billing: The service was quite slow during our visit. We waited a long time for the check and eventually ended up packing our own leftovers and heading to the front counter to pay so we could head out. I was also surprised to see an automatic 20% gratuity added to the bill, especially since it was calculated on the total after tax ($23.07 tip on a $106.80 subtotal). While I understand automatic tips for groups, it felt a bit high due to poor services. There are a lot of great dining spots in the area, but based on this disappointing visit, I'm sure I would not return to this one.

We tried the shrimp fried rice, Shanghai soup dumplings, scallion beef, and the traditional pan fried pork buns, and I honestly enjoyed all of it. The soup dumplings were a standout, and the scallion beef was packed with flavor. The only downside was the service. Everyone was friendly, but they were clearly overwhelmed.

I personally love most of their dumplings - soup dumplings, pork, lamb and zucchini. I've ordered the chive dumplings a few times but the chives always ends up being very overpowering. The dumplings are made by hand and come out steaming hot and fresh. They also have a selection of rice and noodles and other dishes which we have ordered but not as the main attraction. I'll be back here without a doubt when I have my next dumpling craving.

When we arrived, I realized the location used to be the old Hong Kong Supermarket -- only longtime locals would probably remember that. The layout inside was pretty interesting. There was a Te'amos milk tea shop in the middle, Lao Szechuan on the right, and the hot pot & BBQ restaurant on the left. The staff greeted us warmly and quickly helped us get seated. One thing that pleasantly surprised me was that they offered freshly made milk teas and fruit teas instead of bottled drinks. The drinks were decent and refreshing, especially for balancing out the richness of the meal. Each person gets their own mini hot pot, which I really liked because everyone could customize their own soup base and ingredients. We chose a variety of broths including mushroom, spicy mala, tomato, and herbal soup. Using the iPad ordering system, we basically ordered one of everything from both the hot pot and BBQ menus. The food came out surprisingly fast, and they even used robots to deliver dishes to the table, which was smooth and efficient. For hot pot, my personal favorites were the fatty beef slices, lamb, beef tripe, black tripe, tofu skin rolls, squid flowers, enoki mushrooms, corn, lotus root slices, kelp knots, fish balls, and beef tendon balls. Everything tasted great with the broth and my favorite sesame dipping sauce. On the BBQ side, the standout items for me were the cumin lamb, beef tongue, chicken cartilage, short ribs, and squid. We weren't exactly BBQ experts, so some meats weren't cooked perfectly, but the flavor was still really enjoyable -- and the best part was that you could keep ordering as much as you wanted. Honestly, for around $40 per person, it felt like a very good value. My parents both thought it was worth the price. We left full and satisfied, and the service was always attentive whenever we needed something.

We ordered pan fried buns and instead received Chinese donuts in the bag :( I didn't realize it until we got home, but I never had an issue with this place so it didn't occur to me that they prepared (or packed?) the wrong thing. If I ever return, I'll know to do better than expect the correct order and check everything before heading out. The crab rangoon was still flavorful but whatever dough they wrapped it with this time was so freaking tough that it cut the top of my mouth. My jaw should not get a workout from eating crab rangoon of all things. Another disappointment in the bag. But the beef entree we ordered was good, yet overshadowed by the other letdowns of the night's visit given that I can't really remember what exactly we ate. I'm going to remove another star for the unhygienic practices I witnessed that I was perhaps blissfully ignorant of my last time visiting. It's hard to look past a server comfortably coughing into their hand and proceeding to handle multiple patrons' plates and orders without as much of a squirt of sanitizer. I will say though they are quite dedicated to the customer. As I was sitting in the parking lot waiting 10-15min for my order to finish, someone clearly forgot their food and the same hacking server ran out to give it to them. Oh wait! Turns out that was actually our food being jostled around as he ran through the parking lot searching for the owner. I was watching the time and planned on returning but maybe I wasn't moving fast enough for this guy lol. He did all that just for the order to be wrong.... Damn bro. I prayed he didn't box the food. I guess we didn't come on a good day? I really don't know what happened but the entire experience was off. Based on the night's events, I don't know if I'll return. No pictures this time...

Best dishes (the reasons to come) 1) Salt and pepper squid This one was excellent. Fried well, not greasy heavy, topped with plenty of fried garlic, plus cilantro and fresh cabbage to balance the richness. Super satisfying and well executed. 2) Dried chow fun with beef Also a standout. Great texture and temperature, well seasoned, and the ingredients felt evenly distributed instead of clumped or uneven. This dish was done right. 3) Eggplant in a small pot Served in a small pot that keeps it warm for a long time, which makes a big difference. There's a lot of sauce, but you can reduce how salty it tastes by how you scoop and serve it. Comforting and flavorful. If you ordered just these three, you'd already have a great meal. Other dishes (good, not amazing) Coconut shrimp The shrimp itself was cooked well, and I appreciated the broccoli on the side to balance the heaviness. The issue was the sauce: way too much. It got soggy fast and leaned too sweet and too salty. Next time, I'd ask for the sauce on the side so you can control it. We also tried a vegetable dish and a fish dish. Both were decent, but not particularly memorable. Tea They serve tea if you order it. The chrysanthemum tea was pretty good, and I liked that it was loose leaf. Atmosphere and service We went around 2:30 to 3:00 pm, so it wasn't crowded. The vibe felt very local and family friendly. It's an older building, but clean enough and inviting. Service was great, and it seemed even smoother if you have someone in your group who can speak Cantonese. Would I return? Yes. I'd come back, especially for the salt and pepper squid, dried chow fun with beef, and the eggplant pot.

    If you want authentic Korean-Chinese cuisine away from the hustle and bustle of Duluth AND not give…read moreup quality - this is the spot you wanna hit up. Get yourself nothing else but the CB3 Combo (JJA JJANG MYUN & JAMBONG W/ SWEET & SOUR PORK COMBO) - cuz IYKYK. Jjajangmyun bowl was as wide as a tire - slurp up the noodles and all that sauce cuz the taste is so damn good. Yes, the juices might wind-up on your face cuz you going down-down on it good like that, but who doesn't bask in wet, juicy glory like that, just wipe the collateral-damage off. Jjambong had the haemul (seafood) overflowing like the organ between my loins, but damn - what a bounty of seafood. Squid was also sitting up top like the jjambong bowls back in Korea. Broth was good, noodles were green - brb, throwing my glasses at the wall out of pure joy and disbelief at how damn good it was. Tangsuyuk? oh my word - just the right amount of crisp. Not so damn deep-fried like other places to the point of when you put it in your mouth, it scratches the skin off the roof of your mouth and cheek-walls like a blue-dolphin does (iiykyk). Just the perfect ratio of frying AND pork - I just rabidly shoved the whole piece in to my mouth, so damn good. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being top, I rate this place a 15, definitely coming back here, and you should too. Jinjja!

    I visited Man Chun Hong in Atlanta and overall had a positive experience, with a few reservations…read more The interior was clean and well maintained. Being able to see into the kitchen while the food was being prepared added a sense of trust and transparency, which I appreciated. The service was very good. The staff checked on us regularly and brought what we needed quickly. Everyone was friendly and attentive. As for the food, I usually tend to be fairly generous in my ratings, but on the day I visited, the dishes were noticeably salty. The seafood noodle soup, jajangmyeon, and fried rice were all saltier than expected. I'm not sure if it was just an off day, but this part was a bit disappointing. That said, the overall experience was still decent, and I hope the seasoning is more balanced on my next visit.

Prices have increased since my last visit (of course), but they're still quite reasonable. The service is exceptional! We always enjoy chatting with Jojo and Chloe when we're there. These two ladies are incredibly friendly and helpful. My parents visit so frequently that Jojo already knows their orders without them having to say a word lol. You never have to wait long; our orders come out one dish after another very quickly. Our go to orders: * Chow Quay Teow * Fish Fillet * Kari Fish Fillet * Salt & Pepper Squid * Hainanese Chicken + Chicken Rice!! * Salt & Pepper Tofu * Stir Fried Okra in Garlic TBH you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Highly recommend.

My group had 5 people, so we had to wait a bit to get seated, but the staff was able to navigate that really well. The food was delicious! I got the Beef Chow Fun Ho, and for an appetizer, I got the roti and the curry. I would highly recommend both! The roti was flaky and soft- it paired so well with the curry. The beef chow fun was good as well, but it tastes better with this chili sauce (it could be it was seasoned just fine and my taste buds are dead from all the spice I eat). That sauce elevated the flavors even more. The prices were fairly priced for what you get, and I will say, though, if you come with a group of 5 or more, they will charge you a 20% tip automatically. I did not mind at all because the waitress we had was very attentive and checked up on us several times during our meal.

While you place your order at a kiosk, they're available to help and answer any questions. I ordered a noodle dish, and it was fantastic. The beef was incredibly tender--almost melt-in-your-mouth tender. It had a crispy exterior while remaining moist inside. The noodles had a great texture, and the sauce was very flavorful. I especially enjoyed the vegetables mixed in, including the bok choy, which was perfectly cooked and tasted wonderful. They also had a hot sauce available, though the container looked a bit dirty and could've used a wipe-down. Out of an abundance of caution, I only tried a small amount. Still, the dish overall was excellent, and I'd definitely return to try more items.

I've seen it a few times when visiting ICE NY, and was always curious to try. Well my hubby and I finally figured today would be the day. The restaurant is very intimate and inviting. The staff and manager were very kind and welcoming. You order and pay for your food at a digital kiosk in the front. I like this because it allows you to view pictures of menu items while ordering. We ordered steamed pork and chive dumplings to share, Thai fried rice with ham, and a beef noodle dish (I can't remember the name). Everything was very delicious and extremely affordable! I think we paid approx $40 including taxes and tip. This is a perfect place to grab a quick bite, then go next door for dessert. We'll definitely be back.
