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

“I went to Kukga Topokki Suwanee – 국대 떡볶이 with a friend and we ordered the You & Me Set (너와나 세트)❤️ It was the perfect portion for two people—just enough to feel full but not too much to waste. The tteokbokki had the right amount of spice and sweetness, and the fish cakes were soft and flavorful. The kimbap was fresh, packed with good ingredients, and had a great texture. The overall vibe of the place was cozy, and the staff was really friendly. If you’re looking for a solid Korean street food spot, I’d definitely recommend checking this place out🩷“

“We were here a few weeks ago. It was comfortable , clean, and the waiter helped us choose the best option for us. The food was great. There aren’t as many options for sauces as some other places with Korean bbq. The sauces they did have were really good though! The service was great. We will definitely be returning.“

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

“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!!!“

“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.“

“I'm so happy I found this place! I've been here like 4 times already & I always leave so full & satisfied. The BEST seafood boil place I've been to, & I've been to plenty. Their wings and fried rice combo is also a big hit among us. If you want some alcoholic drinks, I recommend the lychee soju ! You can share it with friends & it tastes soo good. I can't wait to try more items from the menu. It's also a plus that they're opened late, since everything seems to closed at 9 or 10. It's a small nice restaurant by a gas station but don’t get discouraged cause their large menu and food will have you coming back.“

“My wife and I absolutely love CHOI’S GRILL BY CHEF JK… it’s definitely one of our faves! My mom was born in Seoul, Korea, so I grew up eating authentic Korean dishes and have a very discriminating palette. With that said, CHOI’S is totally legit Korean deliciousness. The food is always fresh and flavorful, the portions are generous, and the staff is incredibly kind with a strong spirit of servitude! Oh, and the SIDES are sooooo good. As you might imagine, we highly recommend CHOI’S and recommend them to others at every opportunity. They definitely deserve a FIVE STAR rating. ENJOY! 🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷“

“Korean seafood soup (Hae-mul-jeon-goal) was surprisingly good. It has baby octopus, shrimp, clam, crab, and lots of veggies. Broth is amazing, and baby octopus was soft. You should add udon noodles for $3 because it is a game changer.
Most importantly, order the fried rice, and they will use that good broth to make the amazing fried rice. I asked them to add more sesame oil and seaweed flakes, and it makes the fried rice even more savory and amazing.“

“I highly recommend this place. There are a lot of Korean BBQ spots in Atlanta, but this is the first time I’ve had such high-quality meat with a proper charcoal-grilled flavor. You can tell right away they use quality ingredients even the side dishes were top-notch. Overall, everything was delicious. Since it’s a newly opened spot, the cleanliness and interior were also impressive. It’s been a while since I’ve had such a great meal.“

“I had a fantastic experience at this place. The food was absolutely delicious—every bite was full of flavor! Additionally, the cashier was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this spot for both great food and excellent customer service. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“This is a place that sells healthy food using healthy ingredients. The tofu is especially delicious, but all the food is a bit bland for my taste. You have to bring your own food through self-service, and it is difficult to sit for a long time when there are many customers.“

“Gopchang Salon really impressed me. The gopchang was cooked to perfection — it had that perfect balance of crispy and tender that makes it so satisfying to eat. The banchan was fresh and packed with flavor, and the kimchi was especially good, adding the perfect level of spice and tang. The staff were nice, caring and made us feel welcome, which made the whole experience feel more delightful. There’s something special about a place where the food and service come together so well, and this spot definitely nails it. It was awesome, and the best Korean food I've had here in Georgia! I’m already planning my next visit here!!“

“I go here often when I want to eat soft tofu. There are many places that sell soft tofu in Suwanee and Duluth, and this one seems to be the best. There are many types of soft tofu and you can choose the level of spiciness. It's nice that the rice comes in a stone pot so you can make scorched rice and eat it. In addition to soft tofu, there is also a stone pot bibimbap flavor. The servers are friendly and they refill the side dishes immediately after you finish eating them, so I enjoy the food every time I go. The atmosphere of the restaurant is old and shabby, so I recommend visiting for a quick meal rather than a special day.“

“..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“

“I enjoyed the acorn jelly and the mixed dumpling soup. Generous portions, well balanced, and comes with side dishes. Self service Korean hot sauce and oil. Self service water. No tip expected on the order kiosk. There is a cash tip jar on the counter. English description of dishes on wall , not very much on order kiosk. Soothing instrumental church music. Farm market next door. Will be back soon.“

“As a self-service Korean restaurant, the value is already excellent simply because there's no need to tip. Interestingly, while it's an Asian restaurant, the rice-based dishes are quite ordinary and not particularly special. On the other hand, the Western-style pasta is actually the highlight. The seafood pasta, with its rich and cheesy aroma, is so memorable that you can almost still smell it just by looking at the photo. This is a restaurant that can appeal to nearly all types of diners.“

“We ordered set A. They were quite tasty if you can handle intestines. Our waiter was friendly and patient. The only thing that might be lacking in my opinion is that the sides could be more “clean taste” to balance the richness of these grilled food. Maybe some green onion salad or even kimchi would help.“

“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 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.“

“Omg so much to love at this spot! You would never think it this gem would be hidden in the nondescript strip mall. It is clean, the music isn’t blasting your ears off like most KBBQ spots, and the staff is so friendly. They are accommodating for children. The booth tables are large and they have great induction tops with massive ventilation. The have perilla leaves and lettuce if asked for. Their kimchi fried rice is huge and so delicious. The cheese corn has mounds of cheese. I love that this spot is in Suwanee.“

“This place was great!!!! The gopchang and rib mead were delicious. I liked it so much that I ordered a 2nd serving of the gopchang. The banchan and kimchi fried rice was also delicious. The restaurant even gave me vibes of the restaurants in Korea. This place is not your typical Korean bbq and you’ll only find Koreans eating here! If you want to eat like a real Korean and try something new, then try this place!!!!!“

“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!“

“Absolutely love coming to Yogi. As soon as you walk in there is a self service order option to your right. It was simple and easy to look through the menu and order. Once you’re done, you find a spot to sit and wait for your order to be called. The food always tastes so fresh and delicious. The portions are also great because they don’t feel like too much or too little. Definitely one of my favorite places to eat!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Honestly, I highly recommend it. Whenever I go grocery shopping in Georgia about once every two months, I'm always craving Chinese food, so I've been to several places, but I'm always disappointed after eating it, but I highly recommend Hongbanjang. In particular, I think the soybean paste and sweet and sour pork are definitely the best in Georgia. The food overall was nice and spicy.“

“Simply Phenomenal with patio, general seating in the main dining area & private party rooms, have to experience it to believe it.“

“This is my favorite K BBQ spot. It is a mom and pops establishment with no frills. The food is amazing and they have so many options for K BBQ & the sides are amazing! The service is great and they will cook the food for you. The fried dumplings are a must have! They are open late as well.“

“I came to visit Georgia for a few weeks, and I think that this is the best place to go for wings and boiled seafood!I heard that they were under new management from my friend, and I think they did a great job on improving the place! Everything was amazing!“

“A new Chinese restaurant has opened in Samwongak. It seems to be much cleaner and the food is cleaner. Jajangmyeon was very cheap at $7, but the taste was just so-so. The oyster jjamppong I ordered together was delicious, but the Cheongyang peppers were a bit too spicy every time I bit into them. I like the spicy soup with Cheongyang peppers, but I wish they didn't add it as a garnish. The sweet and sour pork with glutinous rice was fried crispy and delicious without any meaty smell. It was nice that the servers responded kindly.“

“Participated in the Explore Gwinnett Seoul of the South food tour and this was our final stop and it was time for sweet treats and drinks. The iced coffee and lemonade made it hard to pick my fav as they were both outstanding. Being able to try and sample many of the sweet treats made this the perfect spot to ead our food tour and again, it made it impossible to pick my favorite so my advice it visit often and try the whole menu.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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“

“The food was delicious, Pork Belly and Steak was delicious. The Staff was amazing. This place would be perfect to entertaining friends or date night for that special person!“

“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!“

“Come here to eat quite a bit and their food is good most of the time. Something really stellar is that they can accommodate food allergies (limited options of course) but still. It’s nice there is some effort and they even have gluten-free soy sauce!

Dietary restrictions: Knowledgeable and accommodating for food allergies. Ask to change gloves if sensitive to cross contamination. No separate food prep areas, but they take allergies seriously.“

“Overall, the taste is good. The store was spacious, but the overall atmosphere was a bit desolate. I went during dinner time on a Saturday and the employees were very busy. It wasn't easy to ask for something. There is also a sports bar where you can enjoy simple cocktails.“

“Just had a fabulous lunch for under $10...Tapas, Korean style. Try it, you wont be sorry !“
