There was a lady working in there, she was really really really inpatient, we were trying to make our own food, and we said that we knew how to prepare it, but she kept coming and taking all the utensils, making it feel awkward. We got there exactly at 8:30 pm, the restaurant closes at 10 pm. She was giving us the feeling that she wanted us gone and was rushing us to get the receipt, she kept coming to ask if I signed the receipt, all the time. It was horrible, me and my girlfriend never felt so uncomfortable like that before.

Service was great. Food was good up until we got raw Chicken the manager did not know how to handle situation was taking it out on staff whole entire time. Manager is very unprofessional thankfully we got the meal compensated.

Update: They hid an unsatisfactory health score!!!
I just learned that at the time of my visit, they had not posted their current UNSATISFACTORY health score. I absolutely will not recommend a restaurant that does not take its customers' safety seriously, period.
The follow-up inspection only scored slightly above passing too. A reinspection should ALWAYS score very high, they know it's coming and it's their chance to fix serious problems.
Two huge red flags, hiding a bad score and not doing well on a follow-up inspection. This implies a chronic problem, beware!

Original review;
I sincerely enjoyed my meal here.
It was our first time visiting a Korean steakhouse so I had no idea what to order, or what many of the dishes were. The waiter, the most awesome waiter, helped us figure it out. He talked us through the menu, pointed out popular dishes, and thinking back I enjoyed nearly everything that appeared on our table. We sampled from a broad selection, some old familiar flavors, and many new and interesting ones.
Regarding cost, I wondered if it would be too expensive as we considered trying this restaurant. Yes, it is a little pricey but when I left I felt like it was a good value.
The setting... inside is much nicer than out, honestly, some basic landscaping and maintenance would go a long way. As I pulled up my first impression was concern, it looked run-down, but once inside the friendly staff and nice decor made me feel very welcome. As I was leaving though I again was reminded that the neglectful landlord is not helping drive business.
Bottom line, interesting & delicious flavors, great staff, fun experience, pretty good value... yup, I'll be eating here again soon.

The food was fantastic and very flavorful! We had far more than we could eat, even trying our best to eat as much meat with the side dishes as possible. The Gold menu (all you can eat) is VERY worth it, some of my favorite sides dishes were all you can eat through this menu. This was a birthday dinner date, but next time we plan to come with a larger party and stay longer to enjoy to delicious food! They are ALL about getting your food out to you quickly and keeping the mood going! Our waitress was so nice, made great recommendations, and made sure our drinks never emptied. All other service members were attentive, and maintained friendly and courteous demeanors. Keep in mind, KBBQ is over an in-table grill; so if you have long hair, definitely bring a hair tie or hair clip. The warmth of the open flame makes your drinks go down extra easy, so we could not complain. Overall, it was a fantastic Birthday dinner for someone who’d never been before! He was thrilled and enjoyed every bite.

This has been one of my favorite spots, but our recent visit was a major letdown. The meat they brought us — both the steak and the chicken — was clearly spoiled. You could smell it before it even hit the grill. Totally unacceptable, especially at a place that usually prides itself on quality. To make things worse, our waitress was glued to her phone and barely checked on us. I’m really hoping this was a one-time slip, but it definitely shook our confidence.

I was not expecting my new favorite Korean BBQ place to be in Cumming, but it can't be anywhere but here. 💜 1. THE PORTIONS. 2. The service, absolutely mind-blowing. Waitress was so sweet, speedy, funny, and sooo observant. 3. Meat tasted delicious, absolutely phenomenal
Also the seats were comfortable and very spacious, all the food is halal if you need that, the gluten free food is marked on the menu, beautifully decorated, cozy upscale feel, no smoke blowing in your face when you're cooking, all the sauces are on the table so you don't have to ask for refills, not too loud, lighting set a great ambiance. 10/10
We LOVE korean bbq and have been to numerous places around metro and north of ATL. This places used to be decent, but the meat quality has fallen off. You can get a much better more inclusive experience (for the same price or less) with way better quality meats and sides if you make a 30min drive towards Duluth. Great service! Server was very polite and attentive.

We went out for dinner, but although the food was just okay, the service was so bad that it made the whole experience worse. The grill was completely burnt, but they still placed the new meat on it, so I had to ask them to replace the grill myself. When we tried to order something else, the waitstaff were too busy chatting with each other to even notice us, so we had to wait a long time. Then at the end, when I was finally talking with my friend, they kept coming over way too often, giving us the feeling that they wanted us to leave quickly. I definitely don’t want to go back.

We had an ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL TIME! We went with our friends who wanted us to check out Korean Barbeque. What a FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE! The food was GREAT! You cook it yourself to your own liking! Many choices of meats and sides. Their dumplings are AMAZING! I can't rave enough about this place! We cannot wait to go back!

Update 6/1/25. My friend and I went to try their new sushi menu, and David the chef was excellent. I highly recommend you try their new sushi menu.
