45 Best Korean Restaurants near Buford

“This place is amazing! Love the concept of building your own bowl Korean style and they have some delicious lemonades. They also have very friendly staff! I came with three other people for a meeting and stayed til closing without any issues. Would highly recommend giving this place a try!“

“I tried bb.q Chicken recently and was seriously impressed. We ordered the Galbi Boneless and dumplings, and everything tasted incredibly fresh—you can really tell the food is made with care and not just pulled from the freezer like a lot of places these days.

The flavor on the chicken was amazing: crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and the galbi sauce was perfect without being too heavy. The dumplings were super good too—crispy, hot, and full of flavor.

On top of that, the hospitality and patience from the staff made the whole experience even better. It actually felt worth paying for the food, which is rare when so many spots serve overpriced, low-quality stuff.

Definitely planning to come back!“

“Love it my daughter invited me for the first time and it was a nice quiet place to enjoy all the meats you want“

“Fantastic! Had help ordering (I always ask what the people who work there eat) and it was perfect. Omurice was so good. Highly recommend. Will be back to work through that enticing menu a lot.“

“Loved it and will be back again soon“

“New favorite place to eat in Wichita. amazing food and amazing service. 10 out of 10“

“Delicious Korean street food. We ordered Bulgogi lunch box, Tteokbbokki, Kimbap, Kimchee Fried Rice, and Bibimbap. Our family enjoyed each of these dishes.

Service was very friendly, and we received our food in about 15 minutes or so. Also, I appreciated all the affirmations and art on the wall throughout the restaurant.

Definitely recommend for Korean street food!“

“Lately, it’s been hard to find good-quality beef around this area, so I was pleasantly surprised by the quality here. The meat was fresh and well-prepared, and overall the beef quality really stood out.

One downside is that the place gets very crowded, especially during peak hours. The photo shows two orders of kkotsal (flower cut), and compared to other Korean BBQ restaurants in Duluth, the portion size feels a bit on the smaller side.

I hope they can maintain this level of quality, because customers are very sensitive when it comes to meat quality. If they can keep the consistency, this place has strong potential.“

“Bbq Chicken Suwanee was fantastic. All of the staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food was great. I really recommend this restaurant.“

“We were looking for an easy dinner spot and, based on Google results, decided to give this place a try with little expectation. We’re glad we did. It’s a small restaurant with dark decor and simple tables, but the service was friendly and attentive. We ordered wings, skewers, a seafood pancake, and a seafood clear broth stew, and really enjoyed the meal. The seafood pancake was the best, crispy without being hard and full of flavor.“

“Wonderful experience with our group of 9. We were seated in our own separate area, which was very nice as we could socialize easier. Staff were prompt, attentive, and incredibly friendly. The food was also very delicious.“

“WoW! 새해 첫날 아침식사로 전복죽 맛나게 먹고 갑니다. 감사합니다.“

“대박 --- 돈까스 topped w/ Vegan Pasta .... 떡볶이 (우와우 떡이 너무 부드러워서 입에 녹는맛.. 바로 이맛입니다!!).. 그리고 서비스로 남은 떡볶이를 볶음밥으로 . 5Stars!! Ddukboki (the rice cake was so soft, this is wat im talkin about!!) Fried Pork cutlet topped w/Vegan Pasta all i can say is wow!! To finish the meal they make fried rice from the leftover Ddukboki (if any), no u cant take it to-go already asked lol. Very friendly service, Definitely will be back!!! They serve beer!!!“

“The pork galbi ribs were very good! Everytime I come to Korea Garden, the banchan (side dishes) are always fresh and are perfectly seasoned!! All the banchan pair very well with rice and meat! The pork galbi ribs are mouthwatering and the aroma of the meat made me order more lol. One of my favorite Korean restaurants to dine at!! Will be coming back again!“

“This place is conveniently located inside the market, making it super easy to grab a bite while shopping or take it to go.
The menu is straightforward and clean, with delicious dishes that let you fully indulge in trendy K-Food favorites.

It seems the manager changed recently, and that’s made the food and menu a whole lot better—everything tastes fresher and more refined now. It draws crowds ever since tteokbokki and kimbap were featured in Demon Hunter—lots of people are coming for that vibe!

While waiting, you can even help yourself to some free oden broth, which really gives you that authentic Korean street food feel. I’ve been hooked ever since my first visit and keep coming back. Plus, the prices aren’t steep at all, which is a big win! Highly recommend.“

“The iconic Korean vegan restaurant in Suwanee.

EVERYTHING here is delicious.
I specifically visit for their perilla leaf stew and buckwheat sweet bean cakes.

There is a touch screen ordering system, then they call your number and put your set meal tray on the bar for pickup.

The food is on the milder side flavor wise, perfect for when you are feeling sick or want to have a healing meal.

Nothing fancy, just delicious, unique, and healthy food.“

“The restaurant was quiet, and the food seemed to suit everyone. Personally, I'd say the atmosphere felt a bit uncomfortable for some reason. It felt like the solemn atmosphere of eating at a temple, for example. I wish there was some music.“

“..had a terrific lunch, first timer experience was made even better with the help Vitor, our server. Try this place and hope you have the chance for Vitor to be your server...Will try a dinner service next and won't be afraid to bring friends...great way to have fun and eat“

“Great food and wonderful experience!! We went there for a special ocassion and ordered LA kalbi, premium kalbi, pork belly for 5 people. Their banchans were all so delicious and unique, and they brought in the steamed egg dish, denjang jji geh, corn with cheese plate, ssamchang, and various fresh vegetable lettuce wraps. Their service was top notch! I could not believe how helpful they were as we were cooking the meats and were quick to refill any water or banchans. The servers were very helpful and were smiling the while time...they even thanked us and bowed to us as we were leaving...what a wonderful experience we had as a family! I will certainly come again!“

“I have been to many so-called Korean BBQ restaurants in the past but the 770 outshone them all. This is the finest most authentic I have been to. Every item from the kimchi sides to the soup to the dips to the seasoned steak and spicy chicken bulgogi we ordered was absolutely delicious. The girl who did the cooking for us was pleasant, timely and did a magnificent job. I strongly recommend the 770 Korean BBQ to anyone who happens to be in the Suwanee, GA area. I WILL BE BACK!“

“Late Post! Dinners with Dad (and Mom) Lunch Edition, ep 854…cheating on this one because I had lunch with them last Saturday while visiting…then flew through Atlanta on my way home from meetings in Tampa and we ate here again! Over the last 25yrs, soon dubu jigae restaurants have come and gone in Atlanta but this one, a chain from Korea, is like eating a meal in Korea, splatter apron and all! The ttukbaegis make the jigae scalding hot for your entire meal…both times I left with no feeling on my tongue…if you are in the mood for some soon dubu jigae, this is your best bet in the metro Atlanta area! Give them a shot if you’re in the area, in the Assi Market center off Old Peachtree…“

“Each restaurant has a specialty that makes them unique. Here, I visit specifically for their 부대찌개 , Army Stew. Which is their namesake.

Budae Jjigae is a comfort food for many, like me, that want a quick, filling, and easy meal. This soup has a long and complicated past. Originally, the soup was developed during the Korean War using smuggled/rationed hot dogs, Spam, bacon, and canned beans. I ask to add ramyun noodles to this kimchi soup base to absorb some of the broth and all of the delicious sweet, salty, and tangy flavors.

This is family style service, so you cook on an induction burner at your table and eat from a bubbling pot of hot and delicious soup.

There are many upsell toppings to choose from.
Super friendly service.
Authentic Korean style atmosphere, and wonderful private booth seating.“

“For the price, you can't beat what they have. The food is pretty good and it is so much cheaper than restaurants. The mackerel and soy bean soup combo is so good and the price is awesome. Their spicy soups are also great. Can't beat the price.“

“We really enjoyed our lunch here. This 분식집-inspired restaurant captures the essence of casual Korean street food while elevating it with upscale presentation and thoughtful design on the walls. Every dish we ordered was flavorful and satisfying. The restaurant operates in a self-service style, so tipping isn’t expected, a trend that seems to be growing in today’s competitive restaurant scene, especially in Korea Town. Overall, it’s a delightful spot, and I highly recommend visiting.“

“Love these Food Hall conepts .
You can order with a person or at the kiosks.

Not sure if there’s a revolving menu but the options were very chicken focused for the different restaurants . I ordered from Dorthy Mae’s Soul food Kitchen Dorthy’s soul bowl 4 shrimps with the Macaroni and Cheese .
I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty everything was my one quam is probably I wish 5 shrimp were offered than four . The Mac and cheese ratio to shrimp would have been perfect with 5 if they offer an upcharge for 1 extra I suggest going for it .

The cornbread was soft and tasty. I added mild host sauce and it was perfect addition . Thr garlic Parmesan sauce taste like Italian dressing I was very disappointed but very happy it comes on the side so I could taste it first.

The service was efficient and the person working the cashier was kind and friendly. Definitely great location with a clean restaurant for dining in love the tables and chairs . When I arrived it was pretty empty hopefully more people learn about this place and looking forward to trying more food hall options .“

“My wife and I decided to give ChinJung (inside H-Mart) in Suwanee GA a try and we absolutely loved it! Our choices were the Beef Kim-Bap rolls and the Sizzling Bulgogi Bibim Bap. The lady at the cash register was very nice and patient with us and it was a great experience. Thank you.“

“I’ve been wanting to try this place for awhile and never get the chance to catch them before heading work. The gentleman was very nice and explained the items to me and everything was tasty. The only thing was I felt like the soup that I got lacked in flavor. But everything else was great“

“I'm aware there are some negative reviews regarding service and tipping, but I personally found the atmosphere more comfortable than the cramped main location. The service was quite satisfactory for a Korean-American restaurant, and the food quality was comparable to the main location. I'll likely return to this location next time.“

“Pretty decent Korean gop-chang restaurant.... Went there on Friday evening, there was some waiting, about 20 minutes which was my max, haha. However, it was worth the wait; the food was great and the service was outstanding. I think our waitress name was Ye-rim, she looked young but her grilling skills were excellent 👍, not to mention she was very prompt refilling our ban-chans. Meat portions seemed small compared to the pricing, but in this inflation age I cannot complain too much....especially the Korean food. Will definitely back here when I am in the area craving Gop-chang 😋.“

“I went to eat bossam and there was tofu kimchi bossam so I tried it. The tofu kimchi was delicious, but I didn't like the stir-fried kimchi in the middle placed on aluminum foil. I heard that high-acid kimchi is not good for mixing with aluminum foil, so I hope you don't have to use foil. Also, the bossam wasn't as good as before, perhaps because some parts were a bit dry.“

“The food was a highlight of our visit. The presentation was beautiful, and each dish was bursting with flavor. We tried the Bossam, which was absolutely divine. The portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh and well-prepared.

The service at Kang Seo is exemplary, characterized by a team of a tentative and knowledgeable staff who go out of their way to ensure a pleasant dining experience. From the moment we were greeted at the door to the final farewell, the service was impeccable. Our waiter (Hyena and her teams) was not only efficient but also personable, striking the perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness. The staff’s genuine enthusiasm and dedication to customer satisfaction are evident, make you feel valued and well-care-for throughout your visit.

Overall Impressions: Five Stars and Highly Recommended.“

“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.“

“Love their wide selection of side dishes! Their tofu soup is packed with seafood, including a blue crab claw, which was a nice touch.

We also enjoyed the donkatsu with udon—it stays true to Japanese flavors, and they even give you a mortar to grind your own sesame seeds, which adds to the experience.“

“The food is delicious! Fresh and well-seasoned. The meals they present are so balanced with just the right amount of veggies, protein, carbs, and even a little fruit. The service was fast and friendly! I highly recommend this place and would definitely return the next time my family and I visit Georgia! Thanks and kudos! 👏“

“Amazing food and exceptional service!!!! Highly recommend .“

“The food here was really good and they have a very wide selection. I loved the steak and chicken bulgogi. The servers were all very attentive and got us what we needed. We went at around 12PM on a Friday and it wasn't very busy, but it might be interesting to see this place when it's more bustling. Overall, I recommend this place and will definitely be going again. Just be prepared because it is expensive.“

“have been here on two separation occasions to study, and I've been satisfied with both experiences. the lighting here is great, the employees are nice, the seating is comfortable, and the food is good (especially the curry katsu plate). the music is good and isn't too loud either.

they also have shutters so that whenever it's too bright out you can cover the windows (😍). just a little warning that the wifi password didn't work for me so I had to use hot spot both times i was here (might have just been an issue with my laptop but not too sure....)“

“Good food, decent portion, attentive staff, the family enjoyed. This place is right next to Assi Plaza. This used to be under a different name, but maybe its a new owner. They have transformed the place, now it looks more spacious without the divider in the middle. I like it better than last. The price is decent as well.“

“★★★★★ Exceptional convenience paired with quality food and service

Living at the District at Duluth makes The Cream an easy go-to, but the convenience alone would not justify repeat visits if the execution were not strong. Fortunately, it is.

Both the meals and desserts are consistently well-prepared, flavorful, and satisfying. The menu works equally well for a quick bite or a more deliberate stop, which adds to its day-to-day utility as a resident.

The staff is a clear differentiator—professional, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. Combined with the proximity, strong food quality, and reliable service, The Cream punches above its weight for an on-property restaurant and is an asset to the complex rather than just an amenity.“

“Based on a recommendation from an acquaintance, we decided to have an early dinner at this uniquely themed restaurant. As its name suggests, this establishment is designed as a gathering spot where people enjoy hearty meals paired with drinks—especially Soju. The ambiance clearly reflects that intention, offering a relaxed, nostalgic space for winding down over food and alcohol. The restaurant is located on the second floor of the building and is easy to spot thanks to its prominent signage. Upon entering, the first impression is striking—the lighting is dim, creating an intimate and moody atmosphere. The layout includes several partitioned areas, offering a sense of privacy even in an open space. The decor, music, and menu all seem carefully curated to appeal to an older crowd, particularly those in their 50s and beyond. One noticeable and charming detail was the abundance of handwritten notes and messages scribbled on the walls by previous customers, reflecting both the personality and demographics of its regulars.

Initial greetings and seating service were adequate—nothing exceptional but courteous. However, once our food was served, the attentiveness of the staff noticeably declined. The restaurant uses a call-bell system, and while this is common in many Korean establishments, I personally find it disengaging. The service felt passive rather than proactive, and we had to ring the bell more than once to receive follow-up assistance. For drinks, we ordered SoMak (a mix of Soju and beer) along with classic Korean bar snacks like Buchu Jeon (chive pancake) and 깻잎전 (perilla leaves pancake) as 안주 (side dishes for alcohol). We also tried the 천엽, which is my favorite. While it was interesting, we found the flavor profile a bit too bland. We offered feedback, hoping they might re-season it with salt, pepper, garlic, and sesame oil to bring out more flavor, but they simply brought out dipping sauce instead, which didn’t quite address the issue. Overall, both the food and service felt like they were missing that final 2%—a small but meaningful gap between a decent experience and a great one. That said, the unique atmosphere and concept of the restaurant still hold value, especially for casual, drink-centered gatherings. I sincerely hope the management takes constructive feedback seriously and works toward enhancing both the flavor of their dishes and the attentiveness of their service.

Despite the shortcomings, I do plan to return for another visit—perhaps with a different group or on a different occasion—to explore more of what the menu has to offer. There’s potential here, and with just a bit more effort, this place could really stand out.“

“So far never disaapoint and i’ve tried them so many times, in person and online orders, all are amazing! The flaming potato with spicy mayo and mozzarella + beef hot dog is always my favorite! I’ve never regretted spending my money here!“

“Wife and I stumbled upon this place and man was the food delicious! We're from an area in the south that doesn't have much cultural diversity (shocking I know) so finding this spot was awesome. Iv always loved sweet potato anything so a sweet potato pizza with pineapple is everything to me. Wife got their teriyaki Chicken and that was delicious as well“

“It's delicious I enjoyed every bit of it. I'm a big crawfish lover and had to try it out, they live up to their name. Love how it's different from what I was expecting, the mixture of all the sauces was such a great blend and their own twist works. I'm not sure if the sausage links are their own mixture but they go perfect with the crawfish.“

“I’m here for training and the guy That’s training me recommend to try it. I was not disappointed probably the best fried chicken I’ve had!!“
