45 Best Korean Restaurants near Chamblee

“Visited for the first time yesterday to have the kimbap and it was delicious! I'll be back for more.“

“This place has the best food! Make sure to try the sodduk skewers and the creamy onion KFC! The kimchi jjigae (with the LA galbi combo) is really good, too, especially when it’s cold out!“

“Loved it and will be back again soon“

“I visited from out of town for work and stopped in because I love hot pot and Korean bbq! Was expecting top to be good but it was more than good! I ate my weight in food and because it was all delicious! My server Cody was phenomenal! He was very attentive, personable and had a great recommendation with the beef finger meat! I would recommend stoping by Top and if you can have cody as your server!!“

“This place is great! Recommended to my friend and me by a Michelin chef.

The bulgogi and short rib were very flavorful and tender, and I loved all the condiments and veggies that came with it. Cha offered great recommendations and conversation. Almost felt like family was cooking for us.

I know this place isn’t high frills, but you can tell this place used to be the place back in the day. Definitely don’t judge a book by its cover. I will definitely be back“

“We were going to go to a different korean spot nearby but when we went there the menu had changed because there was new management so I found this place last minute and I’m so glad I did. Authentic flavors, authentic atmosphere with kpop playing in the background, service was great too. Highly recommend!!“

“Huge portion sizes and very tasty food. I usually get the chicken teriyaki bowl with a brown rice / noodle mixed base. My only suggestion is not to mix hot and cold meats (eg: raw tuna and warm chicken) for delivery or takeout. It ends up a weird temp by the time you eat it.“

“I come here often, but today was the best service I have ever received. Many times, the waiters just rush and don't help you out. Today, my friend and I had the pleasure to be served by a young man named Justin. He was attentive, friendly, and helpful. If you go to eat here, definitely ask for Justin. My experience today was superior and I will definitely be coming back. Especially if they keep Justin.“

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

“So Gongdong Soondubu serves comforting, flavorful tofu soups with rich broths and fresh ingredients.
The side dishes are plentiful and pair perfectly with the main dishes.
A cozy spot that feels authentic and satisfying every time.“

“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.“

“You can really feel the pride in how this restaurant is run. The food is incredible especially the grilled meats and the staff go out of their way to make sure you have a great time. They even helped us with the grill and explained the best sauces to use. I left feeling full, happy, and appreciated. Can’t recommend this place enough!“

“Traditional Korean Food and Korean Barbecue. how many local Koreans and other Asians eating this restaurant. it is Korean owned and operated and when visiting you will feel like you are in South Korea.“

“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.“

“I would consider us regulars, eating here 1-2x/month. A little disappointed this go around. We ordered the toppoki, bulgogi quesadilla, and the harue kimbap. The bulgogi quesadilla was labeled as a “limited time” item and was pretty good! The fries it came with were a little undercooked and lacked that the crispy crunch. Harue kimbap = solid. The toppoki was overcooked—the rice cakes and ramen (that we paid extra for) were too chewy/soggy.“

“While traveling, I had lunch with friends—pork bibimbap for me, beef for one friend, and nachos for another.
We were all satisfied and had a great meal. The mild sauce was the best I’ve ever had on bibimbap! You should definitely go if you're in the area!“

“I ordered the jokbal 족발 (braised pork trotter) and soft tofu stew 순두부 찌개. The jokbal was tender, flavorful, and came with all the right sides for wraps, while the soft tofu stew was hot, silky, and perfectly seasoned to enjoy with rice. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, just like food from back home🥰 The atmosphere was cozy, the service was kind, and overall it felt like a truly authentic Korean dining experience. I’ll definitely return👍“

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

“Hankook Taqueria is a fantastic spot for a unique and delicious meal. Their Korean-Mexican fusion tacos are a flavor explosion, with options like bulgogi beef and spicy beef that are just incredible. I always get the sesame fries they're a perfect sweet and salty side. The whole experience is fast, casual, and absolutely worth the visit.
I recommend.“

“I'm so glad I stumbled upon moonbowls! Everytime I order from them I am not disappointed. They stay open late so that's the best part. They have vegan options which is amazing. I love how each time I order I get a text asking how I liked my order and when I respond, they actually respond back. They truly care about their customers. And because its a warehouse kitchen so I always eat in the comforts of mĥn̈y home. The only down side is the small amount of beverages offered.“

“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!“

“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.“

“First time there. Had a great experience!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Food was Delish! We will be back!“

“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 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.“

“Food was hot, fresh, and delicious. We had the beef bulgogi, bibimbap with beef and teriyaki, and the fried dumplings. Everything tasted amazing. The restaurant was clean abba we loved the small selection of Korean snacks!“

“My husband and I visited last night for the first time and it was fantastic! Our server Danielle was so friendly and helpful and made our overall experience 10/10! She was the best of the best! We will definitely be back!“

“Decent fast food type Korean food. It looked clean, not an attractive place & kind of looks like it’s not in business if all you see are the 3-4 tables. Service was good & matter of fact. The lady does not speak a lot of English but did understand that my dumplings were still frozen in the middle when I told her. The kimbop was good. Bulgogi as well. The japchae definitely needed more sauce as it was almost tasteless.
But it was a nice amount of food & I’m not sorry I tried it on my trip to Atlanta. It beat another burger or fattier foods. Reasonable price.“

“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.“

“A great dining experience for Korean food. Great service and delicious food. Will be back.“

“Great food and atmosphere, excellent service Madison our server was awesome. Can’t wait to come back!“

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

“Absolutely the Best Korean Food I've Ever Had!

The rave reviews are absolutely spot-on—this place is a gem! It's the perfect spot for a cozy, comforting lunch. The food tastes incredibly fresh and homemade.

If you're someone like me who feels overwhelmed by a big menu, don't worry—they’re super helpful and happy to recommend dishes based on your taste. Every bite was delicious, and the entire experience was warm and welcoming.

Highly recommend! I’ll definitely be coming back soon.“

“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.“

“I love this place! Such a diverse menu and delicious flavors.“

“Always an absolutely amazing experience when visiting MUKJA! The last time I had Mukja was 2023, a year later the food was just as good as the day I discovered the place. Consistency in quality makes Mukja my goto chicken outlet in Atlanta“
