    A friend of mine sent me a video of this place on Instagram, and the $19.99 all-you-can-eat immediately caught my attention. But I knew there had to be a catch there was no way it could really be that cheap. When we arrived, my first impression was that the restaurant was nice and clean. Unfortunately, the service was pretty disappointing. The host sat us down without saying a word and simply pointed us to our table. After about five minutes, I finally flagged down a server who was much more helpful and explained how everything worked. The $19.99 option includes a limited selection of meats that you can order unlimited amounts of. If you want anything outside of that list, you'll have to pay more depending on the tier. The brisket and thinly sliced pork belly are self-serve you grab them from the freezer using the designated plates for each type of meat. Everything else has to be ordered through your server. Another catch is that not all of the side dishes are included, and even the rice costs an extra $1.99 per bowl. As for the food, it tasted like any other Korean BBQ spot. It wasn't bad, but nothing really stood out or made the drive worth it for me. I'll stick to the Korean BBQ places closer to home.

    This location is so close to home. Service was a little rough and dis jointed. We were there at lunchtime. Lots of ppl wanting to get their Korean bbq on. We ordered Ala Carte. It took a very long time to deliver our order and drinks. I think they lost our order. We will be back to try Korean bbq.

    I had a great experience at Korea Garden. The restaurant itself has a beautiful, clean atmosphere, making it a nice spot for dinner. The eel is absolutely the main event here. I thought the quality of the meat was alsobfantastic. Definitely order the marinated galbi which was tender and packed with flavor. The banchan is good as well. Overall, the incredible food quality and nice environment make this a good option for Korean BBQ in the Suwanee area.

    I stopped at Korean Garden after a long hike, and it was such a great choice! Even though I was dining solo, I was welcomed with smiles and outstanding service from the moment I walked in. The hot pot bulgogi was packed with flavor and brought back memories of Seoul, and the soju was a sweet first for me--absolutely loved it. Shanna, my server, was attentive and explained how to enjoy the dishes Korean style, which made the experience even better. Ambiance was inviting, music was just right, and presentation was 5-star. Dining alone never felt awkward here--I left happy, full, and eager to return. Highly recommend!

    Finally tried the new Korean Garden since they changed ownership in March. Should have come sooner, it's amazing. I had the Makguksu, which is similar to nengmyun but with soba noodles. This is the closest I've has since I had the best bowl in Korea. But that restaurant only made Makguksu and was famous for it. This was the best since then! Only 14.99, and veggie friendly. I also tried the cheese donkatsu which was awesome. The Filet mignon bbq and the Eel bbq were both excellent. My favorite part of the meal? Funny enough, the banchan. They have this kimchi called "Gutjuri" which is ripped by hand, not cut with a knife, so you get shreds of cabbage and it's usually not as fermented. Made right, it's my favorite kimchi, and they hit it out of the ballpark! My new favorite Korean restaurant!

    I've driven by here so many times but never stopped in. Tonight my mother saw a giant banner that said "30% off dinner, including Korean BBQ" and so we decided to head over. They're in the process of upgrading some of their grill tech, so we got a table that was not set for tabletop grilling. No problem, I have been beat from working all week. We got the combination C for the three of us, which was 3 different kinds of meat, including the Cadillac of KBBQ, marinated short rib. The side dishes are plentiful, they'll refill you when you need it or ask for it. We got a soy bean soup with our meal, big enough for us to all have a small bowl. Kimchi fried rice also delivered with the meat so that we could really get stuffed. Service here was great! Good tasty food and with the deal, not too bad! Support small businesses!

    I just tried this place and I would definitely recommend it. We got the Combo E for the 4 of us and it was really filling. One of my favorite was the short rib. The sides were really good especially the kimchi. We also got Ddubboki with was okay in my opinion I probably wouldn't get it again. The prices are pretty on par I would say maybe a little higher than usual. The service was great they were really patient and even cooked our meats for us. They also were kind enough to let us take our time even though they were closing. The atmosphere is really nice the tables have tons of space. I would definitely come again. Would recommend for groups.

    We had the tenderloin and ribeye, and both were tender and flavorful. The banchan and soup were great too. Service from our server was excellent. I'm visiting Atlanta to see my parents and really enjoyed this Korean BBQ spot.

    More like 3.5/5 stars but I rounding up to 4 because I know this opened not long ago. If you're looking for a solid, traditional Korean restaurant in Suwanee that isn't all-you-can-eat BBQ, Korea Garden is a great option. They offer a full menu covering a wide variety of Korean staples -- everything from soondubu to daegu tang (codfish soup), wide mouth bass soup, potato soup, and various cuts of beef and pork. What really sets Korea House apart is the banchan. They're delicious, plentiful, and yes -- they do refill them! Honestly, the banchan alone is worth coming for; it's probably the best part of the meal. This was the highlight of the restaurant I actually would come back for banchan but I docked off 1.5 stars because the two soups (main entrees) were disappointing Another plus is the service button on the table, which alerts the waitstaff when you need anything -- super convenient and responsive. Price-wise, it's right in line with other Korean spots in the area -- not overly pricey but not cheap eats either. You're paying a bit more than Duluth because this area is in the wealthiest part of Gwinnett. I had the seafood soondubu and it came out mildly hot with a rich, fermented flavor -- a strong fish sauce like the taste I had in yeh tuh down in doraville smell that might be bold for some. Personally, I'm used to the cleaner gochuhang powder flavor from spots like BCD Tofu House or Sogongdong, so this was a little different -- more rustic, more traditional. I also have a feeling my soup was reheated and not fresh. This is why I docked 2 stars. I have consumed over 100+ bowls of seafood soondubu to tell what the standard should be. My girlfriend had the kimchi soondubu and I gave her a heads-up beforehand I knew she won't slurp it up like sogongdong or jang su jang.the kimchi stews are usually made with well-fermented, even sour kimchi -- definitely more pungent than the fresher stuff served as banchan. She agreed it was intense but flavorful. The server asked did she like it all, and she said yes it's good. Overall, if you're craving an authentic Korean sit-down meal with standout banchan and a wide menu selection, Korea House is absolutely worth trying. Just be ready for the bold, home-style flavors!

    Incredible! Gourmet! And AMAZING panchan! Literally some of the best Korean food I've ever experienced even after being married to a Korean woman for 31 years and visiting Korean restaurants all around the world! Love the friendly staff and contemporary vibe too!

    Yummy sides (kimchi right of the pic)
    Sandra Q.

    The food was delicious and lots of selections on the menu to choose from. I ordered the seafood spicy soup with noodles. It was so yummy but not spicy enough. Glad they brought out some spicy sauce. The dish was tasty and full of flavor. My husband ordered the Hot Pot Bimbimbap. That was flavorful but a little crusty at the bottom which we were told but my husband wanted to try it. The seaweed soup that came with it was delicious. Service was impeccable all around. Our server Arry was very attentive and kept making sure our needs were taken care of and also that we were enjoying our meal. We would definitely return to this place to try the other dishes. Finally, the restaurant was cozy and there was not many customers. I highly recommend this place for good Korean food and hospitality.

    -5 stars for service!! waitress knew what we wanted without even having to ask (i.e. sharing plates/getting to go box/etc! -they have sotbab which I really enjoyed -nothing much to say about the interior; looks clean -some of their apps aren't made in house--they're frozen and reheated (takoyaki for example) -blue crab soup was my fav dish--perfectly spicy and a lot of crab -person who got kimchi fried rice said it was on the sweeter side but this is a personal preference -bibimbap is mid nothing too crazy -kongnameul gukbap was flavorful; a little salty for me -would come here again to try other things-menu is quite big

You are greeted with a nice warm basket of muffins. They are a little cheesy and remind me of a mix of corn bread and regular muffins. We ordered the brisket and spare ribs. Brisket has an option of fatty marbled or lean - we got fatty but it was more a layer of fat than a nice marbling. The meat was a bit tough but not inedible. I do wish it was more marbled and flavorful. It definitely needed the bbq sauce. The spare ribs were quite good. They were big and meaty with different sections of fatty and chewier lean on each rib. The marinade they use for cooking is notably on the sweeter side. The ribs did not need extra bbq sauce in my opinion. The sides were just okay to me: Mac n cheese - nice and creamy but the real tasty cheese flavor was only in the melty cheese globs. Collard greens - good flavor but definitely on the salty side. Lots of meat in this side. Baked beans - your average sweet baked beans, tasty! Side salad - upgrade for $2 - portion was reasonable for price. I was disappointed by the dressing i selected, the vinaigrette. It was mostly oil and little vinegar leading to a very light and unnoticeable flavor. I added more to get more flavor and ultimately ended up with oily leaves... Bonus points for the nugget ice! My favorite :)

Apparently, there are locations all the way to Michigan and Wisconsin even. Ordered curbside pickup online just to see if they really would honor it, fully expecting to go in, since so much of that has stopped since the height of COVID. We decided to try the Motherload sampler with a variety of sides. When we got there and checked in via text, we were surprised that they actually were going to come outside to deliver it (but we met them at the door in any case). Good to know for next time. Overall, it was a pretty satisfying meal. We tried as many sides as we could get with our meal. All of them were pretty great. I'm partial to my own homemade mac and cheese and greens, but they weren't bad. As far as the meats go, I think I liked the brisket, turkey breast, and sausage best. The ribs could have been more tender but were slightly better than the ones I got from Cozy Coop this year. I still haven't found a rib place that really sticks with me in my immediate area, but there are many more to try of course! I just like that turkey breast was even an option for the sampler. It was seasoned well and not dry also. I joined the rewards program, so I received a discount that I used up front. I would definitely like to try some of their sandwiches with housemade pastrami, nachos, and some more of the meats and sides. It seems to be a good, solid place for dinner or lunch with a lot of options for all. I'll be back.

The dining area looked clean and well-kept, and the hostess/cashier was genuinely friendly--she took the time to walk us through the menu, drinks, sauces, and even the different pickles, which I appreciated. We ordered the brisket, ribs, mac & cheese, green beans, two sauces (both free), house and spicy pickles (also free), and a Banana Cream Soda. 2 Slices of Brisket - $9 (3.5/5): The brisket was solid overall--tender with a nice, juicy interior and a lightly smoky aroma that came through in each bite. It wasn't dry at all, which is always a win, though it could've had a bit more depth in flavor on its own. That said, it really came alive when paired with the spicy sauce, which added a bold, tangy kick that elevated the meat nicely. 2 Pork Spare Ribs - $7 (4/5): These were definitely a highlight. The ribs were beautifully seasoned with a savory, slightly sweet rub that formed a flavorful crust on the outside. The meat was incredibly tender--so much so that it fell clean off the bone with just a fork, no effort needed. Juicy, rich, and super satisfying, especially with the spicy sauce adding an extra layer of heat and tang. Mac & Cheese - $4.50 (4/5): Very impressive side. The spiral noodles were cooked perfectly--tender but still holding their shape, not mushy at all. What stood out most was the texture: there was a subtle crunch on top, possibly from a light breadcrumb or rice-based topping, which added a nice contrast. The cheese sauce was creamy, rich, and coated every curve of the spirals, so each bite had these little pockets of cheesy goodness that almost "popped" with flavor. The sprinkle of green onions on top added a fresh, slightly sharp brightness that cut through the richness and made the dish feel surprisingly refreshing. Green Beans - $4.50 (3.5/5): These had a great bite to them--crisp-tender with a fresh, vibrant texture. The seasoning was flavorful with a savory base, but what surprised me most was the subtle heat that built up as you ate more. It wasn't overpowering, just a nice, unexpected kick that made them more interesting than your typical side. House Pickles (free) - 2/5: These were very crunchy and had a sharp, vinegary tang that leaned heavily on the sour side. While they were fresh and crisp, the flavor felt a bit one-dimensional and overly acidic for my taste. Spicy Pickles (free) - 4/5: Much better balance here. Still nice and crunchy with that same sour backbone, but the added heat gave them a bold, zesty edge that made them way more enjoyable. The spice lingered just enough to keep you reaching for another. Banana Cream Soda - $2 (2.5/5): This was light, fizzy, and refreshing with a smooth, slightly creamy mouthfeel. The banana flavor was present but very subtle--more of a faint, artificial sweetness than a rich, ripe banana taste. It leaned more toward a mellow vanilla-cream soda vibe with just a hint of banana in the background. Not bad, just a bit underwhelming if you're expecting a bold, dessert-like banana flavor. Overall, a solid BBQ spot with friendly service and some standout items--especially the ribs and mac & cheese. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the mood for a laid-back, no-frills lunch.

Banchan offered are japchae, corn cheese, kimchi, sesame broccoli, pickled radishes, egg soufflé and rice. Japchae, sesame broccoli and egg soufflé was tasty. I wasn't a fan of the corn cheese as it came out in these little aluminum cups with cheese on top and it's left on the grill until the cheese melts. The service is good.

They have a ton of ramen options for you to choose from and various toppings to add a la carte. Overall, it's a decent AYCE KBBQ at a good value.
