This spot lets you grill the skewers yourself, so everything comes out sizzling hot and freshly charred. It honestly feels like a late-night street food scene in China Beef tendon skewers : incredibly tender with the perfect marinade. Flavorful without being overly salty. 9.5/10 The seafood & chicken feet stew: Loaded with fresh crab packed with roe, shrimp, wings, and chicken feet. The broth leans slightly sweet and savory, tastes very natural, and doesn't have that artificial hotpot-base flavor.9/10 spicy rice noodles ; they soak up the broth beautifully and make the dish even more satisfying. Broth is too light, recommend to add more chili oil, is not spicy at all!! 8/10 Perfect for group dinners, food adventures, or if you just love authentic Chinese BBQ experiences. read more

Ultimate BBQ tableside experience It's my goal to bring you all of the best Chinese style BBQ kebab spots in Metro Atlanta and more. This is the ONLY location with an automatic rotating tableside BBQ with real charcoal, delivered fresh to the table. If you are a fan of Korean BBQ, then you've got to try this fun spot with friends. While this spot does not have the highest quality kabob meat, it is definitely a fun experience that I bring friends ansld family to when I have a group of 4-8 people. On a positive note, the skewers are not as salty as other places. So, you can ask for a spice tray to add to your food for more spice and salt. Note: BBQ grills are at large table only with a minimum of $80 for the entire table. Good for large groups. read more

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. read more

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! read more

I will never return and patronize this business again. I suggest you also look elsewhere at other kabobs places bc this place is not good value for your money. I came here for dinner a few weeks ago with my husband and a friend. There is a minimum order spend if you want to do the charcoal grilling yourself. I believe it was 70-80 and so it is quite steep. The food was fine in terms of flavor but the portion was so small, be in skewer amount or quantity. We ordered some side dishes that were ~$15 per plate and again the portions were tiny. I understand businesses need to make a profit but this was just unreasonable. My friend left still hungry even though we spent close to $200 before tip! For 3 ppl!! Worst of all, on our way out to the car the guy at the front chased after us asking for tips despite us leaving $20 cash because he didn't see it on the table. Who does that? Tips aren't mandatory and you don't chase after your customers asking for it. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

I actually quite enjoyed the meal here despite some of the other poorer reviews I've read. As my first time being in Georgia, I can appreciate how empty restaurants can be compared to San Francisco (long wait times and restaurants packed with people.) We were quickly seated and had the place to ourselves. Here is what we ordered: Lamb Soup: Super savory and definably recommend to start your meal Beef and Lamb skewers: Lamb was great, beef was a little dry. Each order comes with 10 skewers Sweet and Sour Pork: The sauce is what brings the dish together. I would ask for a little more sauce next time. Grilled Noodles: Yea This is a good meal for two if we exclude the beef skewers. read more

Kochi Maru - Sweet and sour pork - Chinese Near Me - Doraville, Georgia

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. read more

The beef and pork belly skewers were to die for! The restaurant itself gives off very late night hang out vibes which is super cool. It was our first time there and the service could have been a tad bit better. We informed our server that we wanted to do the grilling, but she sat us at a regular table and got the skewers cooked for us, which was fine because it turned out great, but we missed out on the grilling experience. Our server was also a little dismissive and inattentive even it being not so busy when we went. I understand people have their off days, so we will definitely give this place another try! read more

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.

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. read more

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! read more

Try to get a table with a grill! If I counted correctly, there are only 4 grill tables, so I'd recommend calling ahead to reserve one of those coveted spots. What's cool about the grill is that it's got this automated skewer turning mechanism so that you don't have to constantly keep watch. They also have extremely good ventilation built into the grill-so much so, that you don't get much charcoal flavor on the skewers. The service was pretty lackluster. Maybe it was because we were in a room, and they forgot about us. They didn't come by very often, and we had to to go out of the room multiple times to find help. The skewers though were pretty tasty. We got the beef, lamb, chicken, chicken heart, gizzard, squid, and intestines. All of the meats were delicious (esp with the spicy powder!) and we got to cook them to the doneness that we preferred. However, the waitress forgot to bring out 3 of the ordered items and we ended up having to wait forever for those to be brought out. The salted vegetables were also very good, but I don't know if it was worth $10 for the amount that we received. One thing to note: although the sign is in Korean, don't expect this to be like a traditional Korean restaurant. They don't serve banchan (free side dishes) or rice with the meal. Everything is a la carte. read more

Incredible Korean-Chinese BBQ skewers! Recommended by my foodie cousin as "the best Chinese skewers in US", this place makes me proud of being an Atlantan! It's a hole in the wall business with all that you expect from a great Chinese restaurant: incredible skewers, interactive BBQing on hot coals, service not a priority (get your own water from the fridge!), safety not a priority (sure there's a fume hood...), not many vegetable options. We got lamb (the best), beef, beef ribs, fried pork (锅包肉), condensed milk bread. I'd come here way more if I didn't feel so bad about eating lamb. read more

Poor service and small portions. Not worth the money. The skewers take way too long too cook.

Tried this place for the first time a few days ago and I really enjoyed it! The meats were very well seasoned and I love the little seasoning they give you on the side to give the meat an extra kick. I also loved the soup we ordered. I'm a huge noodle soup person and this one was just perfect. It was flavorful and spicy level was just right - it was spicy but not to the point where it made me tear up. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. She checked on us several times throughout the meal and was quick to bring out whatever we needed. They have tables that have a grill in the center which I assume is where they cook the meats but we were seated at a regular table with no grill so our meats were cooked in the kitchen and brought out. This could be disappointing if you are expecting the whole bbq experience where you can cook the meat at the table. For me this didn't really matter! I'm not giving 5 starts because the meat didn't come with any sides and for the price, I would have expected at least a side of rice or a small salad. We didn't even see rice on the menu but we noticed the table next to us had rice. Kind of disappointed that our waitress didn't offer us rice. Regardless, the food tasted great and we'll definitely be back! Also masks were enforced - our waitress wore her mask properly the whole time. read more

The service is so limited and there is no waiter when you need something. The food is too salty.

Despite the reviews, this was actually a pretty decent place. It's definitely a hole in the wall place, not meant for high traffic. So it's basically a skewer joint. We got the lamb and beef skewers with dumplings and some veggie plate with a ton of cilantro and cucumbers seasoned with chili pepper flakes. Each skewer plate comes with 10 skewers. It was pretty good! This isn't a usual spot for me to go to but I'm cool with trying new things! Oh one more thing, don't come with more than 4 ppl in your group. This isn't the establishment for large groups. read more

You are absolutely lucky if you find this place! The key is to get a table with a grill. The grill operates on its own to cook raw meat on the bottom rack and keep you skewers warm on the top rack. No one will be asking you 'how is everything' every five mins because this is a family business and the family are always busy in the kitchen. But if you make yourself comfortable and help yourself to water & drinks in the fridge, and enjoy the food, you will find this place amazing. read more

I came here because I heard there are charcoal grills at the table. My friend and I came in on a weekday night. It was pretty slow just us and one other table. The service is extremely terrible. It was only one guy working up front. Since there was only two of us, we weren't able to get the charcoal grill. I assume you need to come with a large group maybe 4 or more to get the charcoal grill. The skewers and house spice mix was good. I may come back with a larger group for the charcoal grill. Other than that, I don't think I would be coming again unless there is better service. read more

Kochi Maru - Beef, beef tendon, and lamb skewer - Chinese Near Me - Doraville, Georgia

Kochi Maru is a new Chinese kabob restaurant that opened June 2013 on Buford Highway outside the perimeter. This restaurant is similar to Tei Wei Chinese Kabobs (a.k.a. Beijing Kabobs, http://www.yelp.com/biz/te-wei-chinese-kabobs-doraville#hrid:rl6xCvUhDE1eehf4j3rNzQ), which is located next to Quickly inside the perimeter. These kabobs or skewers are a Chinese street food known as "chuanr." There may be some confusion as to the type of cuisine Kochi Maru serves because the name of the restaurant sounds Japanese and the staff is mostly Korean. The menu says "Chinese BBQ Skewers" across the front, but Korean dishes, such as banchan and naengmyeon, are served here as well. I spoke with the staff and learned the business has two owners: one is Korean and one is Chinese. I was also told the clientele is mostly Chinese. The restaurant set up shop inside the seedy Treasure Village shopping center. In a depressed strip mall, Kochi Maru is sandwiched between the old and popular Hae Woon Dae Korean BBQ restaurant and the economical Don Quixote Korean restaurant (which appears to have recently closed). You can't see Kochi Maru from Buford Highway, so instead look for the Shooter Alley strip club. The restaurant is located behind the club. Kochi Maru is a fun dining experience and is unique to the Atlanta area because you get to grill and roast the kabobs yourself at the table. There are special tables with miniature charcoal pits installed into each table and exhaust systems installed above each table. There are also "regular" tables. If you sit at one of these tables, you can still cook kabobs at your table because the servers will supply you with a small, portable gas grill. The charcoal pits have two levels of cooking: (1) a lower level, which is closer to the coals and flames for quicker cooking and (2) an upper level, which is a good place to slow-roast certain skewers or use as hot storage for recently cooked skewers. The skewers themselves are made of metal and it's not advisable to eat directly off them since you can burn yourself. Use chopsticks to grab the meat and slide them off the skewers onto your plate. The menu has over 30 different skewers to try. They range from the basic (e.g. lamb, beef, pork, chicken, shrimp) to the exotic (e.g. lamb kidney, lamb heart, beef feet, ox penis, ox tongue, and lamb testicle). The skewers are deceivingly filling. The good news is you can always order more skewers if you're still hungry. Prices per skewer order vary. The standard skewers, such as the lamb and beef, are about $10-12 for a set of 10 skewers. Some special organs and parts are sold in smaller quantities. For example, one lamb heart is $2.99 and one lamb testicle is $5.99. In addition to skewers, many Chinese/Korean cold salads are served. These aren't meant to be cooked at the table, but to be ordered on their own as shareable appetizers and side dishes. Korean soups, noodles, and alcoholic beverages (e.g. soju, makgeolli) are also available for purchase. Every meal is accompanied with complimentary Korean banchan (side dishes). Banchan selections can change daily. Typical banchan includes kimchi and pickled vegetables, such as bean sprouts and radish, and seaweed. The banchan I've had here has been fresh, flavorful, and appetizing. As for skewers, I've tried the lamb, beef, beef rib, ox penis, bacon-wrapped sausage, chicken heart, squid, and lamb testicle. I recommend the lamb, beef, and bacon-wrapped sausage to everyone. They are smoky and are absolutely delicious. All of the skewered meats are pre-seasoned and pre-marinated, some are pre-cooked, so all you have to do is finish them off over the flames to your preference. Ask one of the servers if you need help cooking. It's recommended for some of the skewers, such as the ox penis, to be slow-roasted on the top rack. The more adventurous skewers aren't as gross as they sound. If anything, they're bland. The ox penis is cut into several small slices, about 5 slices per skewer. The ox penis is especially bland. The consistency is gummy and reminds me of tough tendon or cartilage. If you want to eat genitals, I'd choose the lamb testicles over the ox penis. The lamb testicles have more natural flavor and a relatively more appetizing texture. It's not as rubbery as the penis. If you've ever eaten brains before (e.g. pig or goat brains), the lamb testicle has somewhat of the same "mushy" bite to it, but tastes better. In contrast, the chicken hearts have a very firm bite. A plate of seasoning made of chili powder and cumin is provided. Consider roasting some corn on the cob. The non-skewer items I've tried such as the cucumber salad and lamb soup aren't bad accompaniments to the meat. Portion size for the salads is generous. Some come with many ingredients such as noodles. You may want to check with your server on salad ingredients so there are no surprises. Service is good. read more

The smell of charcoal and grilled meats will hit you as soon as you walk in ... so like any Korean BBQ place, dress accordingly. They do Chinese kabobs similar to the Te Wei Chinese Kabobs further south on Buford Hwy -- except there are a few differences. Kochi Maru is Korean-owned. Menu prices are higher here b/c they don't do indiv. skewers ... I wish they did so we could try an assortment or even combo platters. I came w/ just one friend and we ordered just the shrimp (5 skewers) and lamb (10 skewers) -- and it was plenty of food. However I would've preferred 15 diff. skewers ... haha I can't see myself ordering 15 different skewers either but you get the point :) COMPLIMENTARY BANCHAN We had 3 banchan incl. broccoli which helped satisfy our veggie intake. Remember banchan is always AYCE. LAMB (10 pc) - $11.99 My friend and I aren't huge lamb people but our server said this was the most popular. Glad we did - I loved it. She asked if we wanted it spicy and we said yes. Warning - spicy is really spicy. You might remove the lamb from the skewers (vs. eating from the skewer which is what I was doing ... yeah I'm sometimes barbaric like that) -- otherwise you might burn your lips (from the spices not heat). Yep that happened to me. Meat has a nice grilled flavor and yeah there was a few fatty pieces too. But definitely recommend getting the lamb. SHRIMP (5 pc) - $8.99 I ordered this b/c some of the reviews were raving about the shrimp. I didn't expect it to arrive w/ heads and shells intact. The kabobs arrived hot and then the heads and shells almost seemed glued to the meat so it took a huge amount of effort to peel. I hated the work. And the shrimp tasted overcooked which led to even more disappointment. Personally not worth the effort -- glad we got the small order. FYI - if you order just 2 dishes like we did, you'll be seated at the "non-charcoal" tables where they'll bring the grilled meats to you. If you order several then you'll get to sit at the charcoal tables and grill the food yourself. Server was very nice and speaks English well but was non-existent after bringing our food. I noticed this w/ the other tables too. I'd still like to come again -- but definitely w/ a much larger group. They're located in the same strip mall as Hae Woon Dae and Don Quixote. read more

I had heard of this place that was famous for the "Ox Penis" (excuse my crudity) and knew I had to give this place a shot. It was hidden in the Shooter Alley plaza... oh the puns to be made with the Ox Penis they serve... We walked in around 6 and it was completely empty. We were seated at a table in the front, that had a huge fan overhead and a coal stove inset into the table. The server came and gave us water and offered tea, which we took graciously. After considering the Ox Penis, we decided against it this one time, because we had a feeling we would be back again, and made 3 orders: the Beef skewers, Squid skewers, and the Chitterling skewers. Each order came with 10 skewers of approx. 5 pieces of meat. I'm' glad we didn't order that fourth order of Ox Penis... would have been WAY too much for two people. There were some complimentary banchan (yay!) which hit the spot while we were waiting for our meat to be prepared. Finally, the beef came out first, seasoned heavily. It reminded me of Chinese herbal medicine. So good! Don't leave the skewers on the bottom rack too long, we learned the hard way... it WILL burn! After devouring a couple beef skewers, the chitterling came out next. I usually don't like ordering awkward internal organs... but this was probably my favorite of the three skewers we tried. It was chewy and crispy at the same time and seasoned nicely. FAVES :D The squid's marinade was a little too sweet for me, but for some reason, it still grew on me and I devoured that as well.... I NEED to come back again and try their other skewers. Definitely recommend this place over AYCE Korean BBQ!!! read more

You can't go wrong with meat on a skewer, especially when it's covered with a special Chinese meat seasoning. Kochi Maru is a Korean/Chinese meat skewer restaurant where you can enjoy a multitude of various meats/veggies/seafood. There are also do-it-yourself grills (at some of the tables), where you can watch and monitor your skewers while they cook. The skewers automatically rotate so it makes the cooking easy. They also use charcoal fire to cook the skewers so there is a nice bbq flavor. I would recommend this place to those who enjoy kbbq but want to try something different. Also it's a great place to hang out with friends and enjoy a long dinner. Service is a bit slow since there is usually only one waiter on duty. But overall it's not too bad! read more

I hope they go out of business. I was very excited to try the Lamb Skewers. First time in Atlanta, trying out different food places. I wish i could give negative 10000 stars if i could. I don't care if they have good food or not. We walked in. No body present. This guy shows up after 5 minutes not being there (When there is a door ring). Got seated to a table where there is no lamb skewer thing. So i asked to be reseated to the other table. He says, no you cant. I'll cook for you. Then he got frustrated and started cleaning other tables. Didn't ask us what we wanted If we need water or not. Just rude and should not be in business with this type of customer service. I asked for 10pc, he said i can't have it. We said "nvm.. we will leave" And the server was all happy and laughed. It can not be any worse than that. Your table is about to leave, and you laugh !!?
