35 Best Korean Restaurants near Alpharetta

“Our family has mostly visited Jang Su Jang in Duluth, so this was our first time trying the Alpharetta location. When we used to go to the Duluth Jang Su Jang nearly ten years ago, it was mainly for comforting dishes like Soondoobu, something very affordable and casual.
The Alpharetta Jang Su Jang felt quite different. It’s located inside a hotel, and the atmosphere is much more upscale. Because of that, the prices are not cheap, and the overall vibe is more polished than what we were used to. It truly felt like a different version of Jang Su Jang.
The food was very good, and the service was also excellent. Everything was well prepared, and the staff was attentive. However, as Korean visitors coming from out of state, it felt a bit distant from the Korean community, which makes it less likely for us to return regularly.
That said, it’s definitely worth visiting at least once, especially if you’re looking for a more elegant Korean dining experience in Alpharetta.“

“🔥🍗 Kimchi Red – Alpharetta 🍗🔥
Locally owned, full-of-heart Korean comfort food with fried chicken that was literally voted the BEST in the United States — and trust me, every bite earns that title.

The chicken isn’t just crispy — it CRACKLES — and then melts into juicy perfection. The flavors hit you like a delicious freight train of sweet, savory, and addictive goodness.

And the spice level?
💥🌶️ OFF. THE. CHAIN. 🌶️💥
The kind of heat that makes you do the happy wiggle and whisper, “Ohhhh yes,” while plotting your next order.

Warm, welcoming staff, food made with passion, and fried chicken that has officially ruined me for anywhere else.

Kimchi Red — you are my spicy, crunchy, delicious chicken soulmate.“

“The food is as delicious and unique as it is beautifully plated. Amazing experience!“

“I had an incredible time, our server Ann was phenomenal. She made our experience one of a kind and was super friendly. Definitely returning again“

“LIGHTS OUT DELISH! Y'all,this place delivers every.time! Tonight we had the Alabama Roll which is always top notch,but we branched out and got the baked Volcano Roll and uffff!!!SO GOOD!My husband got the Dancing Shrimp Roll and everyone should try it.Perfection!I hope everyone supports this great spot in Johns Creek because it's truly quality with wonderful service“

“BonChon has always had consistent and delicious food. this is the first bonchon that has more options than what i am use too but overall this place was great.

Highly recommend this place to everyone. Mix flavor half and half is the way to go.“

“Tasty good food. Generous portions at a good price. Did I say tasty? Really tasty. Friendly service. Definitely coming back!“

“They have little alcoves so sitting with your family feels very private. Went with my family of 5 and it was perfect. Highly recommend the hot stone bibimbap and tofu soup with kimchi. My 10 month old, 4 yr old, and 10 yr old all enjoyed. Definitely will be back if we are in the area again.“

“Best fried chicken and sides in town, I go here way too often! This is my favorite location as well, everything is always clean and the staff is so friendly and accommodating. The food is always delicious and fresh. Try the rose tteokboki and soy garlic boneless! The corn salad is delicious as well. Such good comfort food 💕 and they're always playing K-pop music! 🙌🏻“

“The chicken was absolutely delicious and I'd wager that they butcher the chicken on site before frying it. Took a bit for the chicken to come out, but it was absolutely worth it. I wish there was an option been 8 and 16 pieces of chicken.“

“Food and service was absolutely amazing. Everything tasted very fresh and the portions are great for the price. I highly recommend their spicy tteokbokki with added ramen and cheese. Their bulgogi ramen, fried dumplings, as well as their sushi all tasted amazing and fresh. Definitely will be returning to try more dishes“

“Ms. Dog is a really great place to go to! The cheesdog and sweet and spicy rice cake was so deilicious I LOVED IT! Yall should check it out plus service is really nice!“

“Alllll hands down !! When I'm in town visiting always eat here. My sweet lady and chef always remembers me. 100stars !!!“

“This place is absolutely amazing. The food is good, the staff is kind. The space is wonderful. This is the best rice I've had since I moved to Georgia hands down. And it's actually phenomenally spicy.

If you are looking for a place to sit and have a nice time while enjoying incredible food, this is it!!!“

“Very delicious! Nice atmosphere and staff was very nice. We ordered the makrel and tofu soup combo(i recommend death level if you like spicy), scallion seafood pancake, and bibimbop. The Banchan was very flavorful as well, 10/10 recommend 🤘“

“The ahjumma Becky is awesome and friendly! The Korean Steak pizza is DELICIOUS! All I'll say is to season & cook the original chicken a little bit better. The batter was really light and lacking crunch. But other than that, I'd definitely come back. 👍🏾“

“Amazing Korean Food in a simple location but packs a huge punch. I came here solely based on the recommendation of this soup I have been craving. Gamjatang is a spicy pork bone soup. This item at Daebal House was a massive tower of amazing flavor! The menu has a fairly small but simple listing of typical Korean dishes from soup to meats ——while I was there 99% of the patrons are eating this dish. This place is open after 5pm and is similar to a late night bar with fine dining food… Highly recommend if you are in the area and want authentic quality tasting korean food and experience with friends. Oh and the kimchi is the BoMB!!!!!!! So yummmmmmmmmmy! First pic is when it came out!! Second pic is after we all ate to our hearts desire and there were still leftovers!!!!!“

“amazing food and amazing service. great experience overall 5/5 would recommend this place.“

“I dropped in for a quick bite one Tuesday evening and was blown away with how fresh and the portion I received. I ordered the Bibimbap and it was served with small 5 bonchon sides! I fell in love with the seaweed side. In the end, I definitely needed a Togo box. The service was attentive and friendly. They served up a happy customer here l!“

“Prompted to write a review immediately when I noticed the negative reviews people left regarding service, which should be considered outdated.

Friends and I came here on a Saturday while driving around John's Creek, craving authentic Korean food. We were surprised that it was almost empty at almost 6PM but were glad there'd be no wait. The menu wasn't very expansive, which is actually a good thing, imo, as it indicates they focus solely on dishes they know they are good at. I would have loved to try the jokbal, but my friends weren't feeling very adventurous, so we settled on the garlic bossam to share. We added on the rice balls (which is a mix of rice, seaweed, sesame oil and chopped radish) and ordered the donkatsu for my picky toddler niece.

The donkatsu was very crunchy and satisfied the toddler, to our surprise. The portion was enough for 2 adults to share, as it came with 2 pieces of pork (which we had to lie and say they were chicken). We did wish there was more sauce on the side, to balance out the dish. As for the bossam, flavor was great on the pork. We loved the banchan, which helped cut down on the fat from the pork. I'm not sure if the server forgot our lettuce leaves or if they don't automatically give them to you, but definitely ask for lettuce leaves! Definitely gotta wrap your meat! 😉

Also found it surprising that rice does not come with bossam and you have to order it as an add-on. That's pretty much the star deduction here. We spent under $80 (before tip) and it was enough food for 3 adults, 1 picky toddler and still took some tonkatsu home. As much as we love our garlic, it must be noted that 5 hours later, we were still breathing garlic, if that's something that matters to you.“

“Excellent restaurant! If you are interested in experience a meal that truly mimics healthy home-cooked Korean cuisine, this is the place!

This is not one of those places with huge fanfare and exorbitant overwhelming decorations, often with asymmetric balance of tasted. Rather, this is a modest place but with dedication and thoughts for the fundamentals of Korean home cuisine that you can feel from the manner of the owner and certainly taste it in the dishes she serves (mains and the sides) - no sugar (unlike many restaurants all around), no MSG, or any other artificial favorings - relying on natural flavors of quality ingredients. Even then, the subtle balance of complex tastes of various ingredients and of Korean cuisine is achieved, reminding of the comfort and care we felt from our own mom's cooking long ago.

This place is not one of those that has shallow business/value ethics, again unlike other places, where she seems very generous with amount of quality ingredients in the dishes! My dish was the black cod soup. It had about the same amount of fish as the black cod casserole (at 2x the price) we had at another local restaurant!

Really, the owner has a clear set of principles for cooking and life in general, truly reflected in every facet of her restaurant! Truly commendable person and place!

I/we will certainly return to try other dishes!“

“Dean has literally the best diverse menu at such a reasonable price in a 10 mile radius. If you're Korean definitely check it out. Food is always fresh and whenever I call to order he always recognizes who I am which is also a very nice touch to a personable service.
I have noticed some people upset over Food taking a while. It's not a fast food restaurant. They cook it to order so dont get so uppity unless you want raw food.“

“I love the food here but the service is chaotic and it's disorganized. Has not stopped me from going there but it's frustrating to watch them scramble to try and figure out who ordered what. And then to see your food ready but the chaotic process means you'll get it in 10 minutes. But the food is great. Fix the chaotic process and I'd probably visit more.“

“Brandon was fantastic! The food was delicious. very enjoyable. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Absolutely incredible cuisine...A wonderful atmosphere...Family owned and operated...A must goto place when traveling...“

“Food was great! Love that you can get free barley tea up front. The portions were generous, I ended up taking some home. It made GREAT leftovers. We also ordered tteokbokki, but they seem to have forgotten it. To be honest, we didn’t notice that we didn’t receive it until the next day lol.“

“Went for lunch today and had the best experience! The staff was attentive and friendly. Great atmosphere inside the restaurant. Clean and well designed. I got one of the lunch bento boxes and it was so much high quality food for a great price! Can’t wait to go back.“

“This establishment has the nicest team plus delicious food and parking around back. On my first visit, we arrived early when there was no crowd. My friend had just received her PhD so it was a low key celebration brunch. The crowd wasn't happening yet and the barista was bored. As we ate brunch, he appeared with shot glass sized samples of a certain tea drink for us to try. Then he returned later with a sample of creamy drink. Finally a coffee sample was served. We had a lovely chat and it was just such an authentic "small town" moment. The kind we use to have in Roswell 20+ years ago. Fast forward to this afternoon, my friend and I drop in for a birthday lunch and have a terrific meal. Surprise! The staff prepared a cute blueberry scone birthday snack on a heart-shaped dish. As we left, everyone wished a happy birthday to us. Honestly, it was so endearing. Great food. Nice people. 100% worth your time and money to go!“

“It's not cheap for a food court, but the portions are so large that one adult man can't eat the whole bowl!
The sweet and sour pork is full of meat and doesn't feel heavy, so I keep eating it. The Jjajangmyeon noodles were the most satisfying I've had since coming to the US, but the disappointing thing is that the seasoning was a little too salty for my taste.
Still, it was a very satisfying meal. I recommend it👍

Parking: Free parking in front of H Mart Jans Creek“

“The food here is astronomically tasty flavor on point with a hint of Korean authenticity I would really recommend going here with a couple of friends as the portions are huge ! Overall food is yummy and the atmosphere is nice would come back“

“Dear Papa’s Dumpling Team,

I just wanted to take a moment to say how absolutely wonderful your restaurant is. Every time I visit, I’m blown away by the warmth of the atmosphere and the incredible flavors that come out of your kitchen.

Your dumplings, in particular, are truly exceptional—perfectly tender wrappers, delicious fillings, and that perfect balance of seasoning that makes every bite unforgettable. Whether steamed, fried, or in soup, they’re easily the best dumplings I’ve ever had!

Thank you for creating such a delightful dining experience.“

“Ganjajangmyeon was really delicious. On the other hand, I was a little disappointed because the jjambong was a little salty and the yuringi was different from what I expected. Still, it was clean and the staff was very kind. I recommend you to visit.“

“We just moved to the area and decided to get some takeout for dinner here. The service is exceptional. All the staff is very attentive to the customers. The food is yummy. There's a variety of meats you can mix and match for your meal. This is perfect for individuals that want to try a bit of everything. Everything tasted fresh and our food was made to order. The restaurant was spotless and smelled clean when we were there. The price is great for the amount of food you actually get. It honestly feels like a steal. Will definitely be back!
Pictures attached are of my teriyaki chicken with pork cutlet meal and my husbands teriyaki shrimp and teriyaki beef meal. Both were delicious.“

“I liked the atmosphere of the place. Every table has a place to have bbq if you want. We ordered from the lunch menu. I had the sirloin and tonkasu. It was awesome. My wife spicy pork with vegetables and seafood tofu soup. It was okay. The pork was a bit fatty, and the soup was over salty. The service was really good, and we will definitely be back to try the bbq.“
