28 Best Korean Restaurants in Atlanta

“I know the owner and I would recommend this place anytime“

“Some restaurants leave you full. Hankook Taqueria leaves you planning your next visit.
The beef bulgogi tacos were outstanding. Perfectly balanced, not too spicy and not too saucy. The grilled chicken and crispy chicken tacos with chipotle sauce were standouts too.
But let's talk about the cabbage and cucumber kimchi. If there's a prison sentence for eating too much of it, I'm serving life without parole.
Highly recommended.
See you Sunday after church. I'll be the guy ordering kimchi like he's trying to get arrested.“

“Food is always great here. The mushroom soup broth for the hot pot is always slurp worthy!“

“Had delivery bibimbap bowl with tofu and spicy Korean bbq bowl. Both were high quality and generous portions enough for 2 servings. Thought bibimbap bowl tasted fresher with all the vegetables. Fried dumplings (3 per order) were also solid. Highly recommend and very addictive!“

“authentic delicious Korean“

“I didn’t even think to take photos from last night. The food was delicious and nice to try. The kimchi, spam, and bulgogi kimbap was so good. The Kdogs was delicious, we got the cheese dog with sugar. Highly recommended!“

I had such a great experience and will definitely be coming back often. Highly recommend!“

“First time there. Had a great experience!“

“If you’re looking for KBBQ in this area this location of Iron Age is amazing. Be sure to ask for Elly as your server. She’s awesome and makes great conversation.“

“Japanese with a Korean flair. Great prices + great quality + _extremely_ great service. Surprisingly, they’ve been a “near-kept secret” in Atlanta for nearly 50 years. (Since 1970?)We’ve been eating here & picking up more-and-more regularly for only the past 3 years.“

“nothing short of awesome...food ..and service“

“Delicious food. Fun Atmosphere.“

“I tried this place by chance because the burger spot I originally wanted to go to was closed. The guy there was really nice and explained the situation to me, then recommended trying this Korean place next door. I’m glad we took his suggestion.

We ordered the crispy chicken rice and a taco plate with beef, shrimp, and crispy chicken tacos. Each dish came with a choice of two sides, and we picked fried dumplings, soup, and salads.

My kids absolutely loved the dumplings. They reminded me of the kind of dumplings I used to eat as a snack when I was little.

The sauce used for both the crispy chicken rice and the crispy chicken tacos was the same gochujang-based yangnyeom sauce — sweet, slightly tangy, and not spicy. It’s the classic Korean fried chicken sauce, and both of my kids loved it. The brown rice that came with the chicken was also perfectly cooked.

The soup side dish was surprisingly good too. It had real ingredients like mushrooms and felt much more homemade than the typical miso soup you get at many Japanese restaurants.

I also really enjoyed the bulgogi taco. The bulgogi was prepared in a Korean style, though slightly sweeter than usual, which actually worked really well in taco form. The fried shrimp was also nicely done.

The person at the register was very kind and immediately offered me a paper copy of the menu, which I appreciated since I have poor vision and would’ve struggled to read the menu on the wall.“

“I can hardly remember if I’ve visited this restaurant before, which means it’s either been a very long time or this was my first visit, recommended by a group of friends from an association. Regardless, this humble neighborhood restaurant left a strong impression. Once popular in the heart of Doraville's old Koreatown, this spot carries a sense of nostalgia and is truly a hidden gem with a rich history. While it may not boast extravagant decor, the quality of the food speaks volumes. I particularly enjoyed the generous variety of side dishes (반찬), which were thoughtfully prepared and delicious. The highlight of my meal was the fresh grilled sole fish (서대구이), perfectly cooked and accompanied by a hearty bowl of bean paste stew (된장찌개), both proudly recommended by the friendly and welcoming owner. Her genuine hospitality and attentive service added warmth to the dining experience, and it was heartwarming to see some of my friends recognize her from previous visits.

If you’re looking to experience authentic, homemade Korean cuisine in a modest yet charming setting that evokes memories of Korea's past, I highly recommend this restaurant. It’s a rare gem that preserves the flavors and traditions of old Korea, and I’ll definitely be returning to savor more of its offerings.“

“This restaurant has become our family’s favorite place. The staff are friendly, the space is always clean and neat, and the food is amazing. The vibe is calm and cozy. Give it a try—you’ll love it too!“

“My husband and I had an early Valentine's Day dinner her last evening. We absolutely loved it. Vicky and Nick were pleasant and just down right inviting. The meal was delicious. The atmosphere is quiet and romantic. We will come again and next time we'll bring friends.“

“The food is delicious, every time we come here it feels like we’re eating a family cooked meal. The service is friendly as well, definitely recommend! Sometimes the cashier goes out of her way to accommodate our requests and she remembers our orders always! We love this place.“

“This place is crazy good. Really appreciate the quality beef and incorporated flavors in the rice bowl I got.

I’m Asian, I love egg, so why not? Added it as an add-on. I was so hungry and I wanted the dumplings and garlic fries and ramen….

Not cheap, and it’s really disappointing when you get disappointed after a not cheap meal - not the case here. Really really yummy food.

Thank you, chefs, for the love you put into the food you prepare!“

“This place had such a unique menu! I have never been somewhere that had such variety available. They also smelled AMAZING- another great sign. I got this bowl called the Chili Crunch chicken bowl, yeah it was as good as it sounds! They cooked it all to perfection, very glad I came here! Will without a doubt be returning later this week to try something else.“

“loved!!! everything was such amazing quality, the meats, side dishes, all the above! it was clean, the staff was super friendly and so sweet. definitely will be back! I love coming to places that maintain a clean, welcoming environment 🤍“

“Went here for lunch with my teen and the food was delicious as recommended online by the reviews . Rita’s service was excellent and like mentioned the fried chicken chicken was 🔥 🔥🔥.will return again“

“Got the Yam Yam 🍠 Churro dog with mozzarella. The nice crunchiness on the outside, top tier stretchy mozzarella on the inside. 🤭
It was the best damn thing I’ve ever had. I’ve also never had a Korean hot dog before. Not judging but I just wasn’t expecting this to be this good y’all. For it to be in a food court, the setup of the restaurant and menu was fun and appealing. Very easy to decide what I wanted. The service was good and one of the ladies was fine with giving me a bag. Overall experience was great!
I can’t believe I actually shared this deliciousness with my husband. 😭“

“Everything here from the service to the food is absolutely amazing. You simply can’t go wrong. If you want the best experience, ask the handsome gentleman who may own the place (the master) to do what he wants. There’s a special magic. TLDR: trust the master.“

“The food is hands down delicious and piping hot to my liking! oh let's not forget about the seasoning on top of the fried chicken 😋 friendly people which I love!! will definitely be back!!“

“I love this place! Katherine was very cool in helping me with my order! The spicy pork gimbap is delicious! Especially dipped in that delicious gochujang sauce! The crab salad, garlic cheese crab bread, and kimchi fried rice bowl are all delicious! I am definitely bringing friends and eating here again!“

“Best please for Baos in all of Atlanta!!! Always bring all my friends here never disappoint’s. Recommend all the different Baos they offer!!!“
