During my short time in the Buford area, I've come to this place twice in the last two days. The food brought me back as well as proximity to our hotel, however if I were local, the service would drive me away. The type of staff that seems more, interested in hanging out and talking with each other than actually serving the customers. First day I was here. I got the bulgogi Omurice dish and it was tasty. I expected the omelette actually cover the entire portion of rice (top and bottom like an omelette which it didn't. Nevertheless, served piping hot in the stone dish and the flavors were good and not overpowering, and the portion was large. A decent value. The second day, after learning a lesson from the previous one, my wife and I split the Bulgogi fried rice dish (which she had gotten the day before.) Again, the flavors did not disappoint. The rub came when my cousin and I, who have two Independent families and who paid separately, were bulked together as one large group so that a mandatory service fee could be tacked on. When I asked, they said the computer made them charge the service fee. This is in addition to having the system prompt for a tip in addition. The ironic part is that we weren't even standing next to each other in line. Then if you are going to charge a service fee, we would expect to have some solid service that is pretty prompt. Small things such as being able to get water when and as soon as you sit down (perhaps they were busy?), as well as having the sufficient amount of silverware (perhaps they just miscounted?) and actually people smile when they're helping you (perhaps it was the end of the day and they were tired?). Lots of hypotheticals. Just a higher expectation of service, especially when being subject to this service fee. Nevertheless, the family enjoyed the food. We are in and out and about 45 minutes and I'm leaving town today so it doesn't really matter but if you're looking for great service, this isn't the place for you but if you just need a quick bite to pick up and take back to your home or hotel,, go for it.

(Would absolutely return, but my jeans may never forgive me)…read moreThrill Korean Steak and BBQ - Buford, GA First impressions: We walked into Thrill expecting the usual KBBQ chaos -- screaming tabletop grills, flying lettuce, and that one friend who overcooks everything into charcoal briquettes. Instead we got... vibes? Like, actual nice vibes. The place is sleek, modern, and somehow smells like victory and garlic at the same time. Dangerous combination. Service: 10/10, no notes. We never had to wave anyone down for more banchan, which in KBBQ is basically a miracle on par with parting the Red Sea. Food: Oh honey. * Banchan game: Strong. The kimchi was doing backflips on my tongue, the potato salad was creamy crack, the fried rice cakes were so addictive I considered hiding them in my purse. * Meat quality: Top tier. The pork jowl (samgyeopsal) was so fatty and glorious I briefly considered proposing to it. The "Thrill Prime Ribeye" lives up to the hype -- marbled like a Renaissance painting and basically melts. We also tried the garlic soy marinated galbi and I'm still thinking about it during meetings. Rude. * One tiny gripe: The spicy pork bulgogi could've used another punch of heat. My husband (who thinks black pepper is "wild") loved it, but I wanted it to slap me a little harder. Value: Very solid for the quality. $50ish per person all-you-can-eat and we waddled out feeling like we robbed the place. Pro tip: Pace yourself or you'll hit the meat coma wall around round three and start making bad life choices (see: ordering dessert). Atmosphere: Clean, bright, great ventilation (my hair did not smell like a campfire, which is a first in the history of Korean BBQ). They've got K-pop or the tv playing but not at migraine volume, so you can actually hear your dining companions confess their sins between bites. Verdict: Thrill is dangerously good. Buford finally has a KBBQ spot that can hang with the Atlanta heavyweights, and it's somehow less than 10 minutes from the Mall of Georgia (perfect for post-shopping regret eating). Bring stretchy pants, an empty stomach, and friends who won't judge you when you hit the order your 4 round of meats or drinks. We're already plotting our return. My waistline is filing a formal complaint, but I'm ignoring it.

Plenty of parking here, we got lucky considering it's Saturday and we got one of the last grill tables open. Our server was Isaac, who was helpful and thorough for our questions. We chose to go with one of the combination meals that offered 3 different beef types and 2 pork options. The banchan is excellent here. They have really perfected the dishes they offer which complement the meal nicely. We chose a soup (choice of 3 options) and went with the cheese corn and the egg soufflé as our sides. Shaved onions with a sweet soy vinaigrette, lettuce with a saltier edge, spicy fish cakes, kimchi, jap chae, green onions with bean sprouts and a spicy gochujang based sauce, pickled radish. It's all good. Don't be shy, ask for more. It's literally some of the best I've had. The quality of meat was unmatched. Marinated Beef rib, rib fingers, Unmarinated steak, marinated pork ribs, and unmarinated pork belly. They give 3 different dipping options for the unmarinated meats. Also quite complementary for the meal. The owner, Kyung, was helping out because it was super busy. She was very friendly, and happy to see we came all the way from Cumming to try her restaurant. It was nice to see her taking an interest in the customers and she was super gracious. They have a great team here, and it's clear they want people to have the best possible food and service. It's worth the drive, they have about 15-16 grill tables so try to plan ahead! Support small owned businesses!!!

The moment I said Korean fried chicken, she lit up like I had just announced free dessert for life, so the decision was instantly made. Ordering online was quick and painless, with clear tracking that let me know exactly when to leave the house. By the time I pulled up to the window, everything was ready and handed over piping hot, which is honestly the dream when you are picking up food and want maximum crunch preservation. We went with the honey garlic boneless, the soy garlic boneless, and an order of beef dumplings, and the flavors were exactly why this place stays in our regular rotation. The chicken had that signature ultra crisp coating that stays crunchy even after the drive home. Not just crispy, but the kind of crunch you can hear before you taste it. The honey garlic was sweet, savory, and sticky in the best way, coating each piece without turning it soggy. The soy garlic brought a deeper, umami rich flavor that felt balanced and satisfying without being overly salty. The dumplings rounded everything out perfectly. Tender wrappers, flavorful filling, and just the right companion to all that crispy goodness. Everything tasted fresh, hot, and consistent with what we have come to expect. No surprises, no drop in quality, just dependable deliciousness that makes you wonder why you would order fried chicken from anywhere else. Most importantly, my mom was thrilled, and that alone makes this place a Sunday dinner hero. When the food is this good and pickup is this easy, it is hard to argue with tradition.

We were happy to find out that the lunch menu applies on the weekends too! $24.99 for lunch and $29.99 for dinner. You can opt for the dinner menu if you want more beef options. Since it was our first visit, we stuck with the lunch and it was more than enough for us. Some of the meats we ordered: - Beef Brisket - Beef Bulgogi - Spicy Beef Bulgogi - Pork Belly - Spicy Pork Belly I enjoyed the beef brisket and pork belly the most. 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. You cook the meat yourselves here, but our server came around to take our orders and change the grills pretty often. 985 also offers a ramen bar for an additional cost at the center of the restaurant. 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. Nowadays, $25 AYCE KBBQ spots are rare and for that price point, I'd consider this a 3.5 rounded up to 4 star.

I prefer the thin clear sauce for spring rolls but the thick red was ok. Megan had her usual BBQ pork over noodles.
