50 Best Korean Restaurants near Decatur

“Spicy tuna , salmon w/sushi rice was amazing 😋“

“If you’re craving the crispiest, crunchiest Korean fried chicken wings in Atlanta, look no further! I just had the absolute best wings of my life, and I can’t stop thinking about them. The texture was on point—crispy, golden, and perfectly crunchy with each bite. And the sauce? Simply outstanding. The perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and savory that complemented the chicken without overwhelming it. Honestly, I’m beyond impressed. If you’re in Atlanta and love fried chicken, you have to try this place. Thank you for serving up the best Korean fried chicken I’ve ever had!“

“The steak quesadilla is delicious!“

“Loved it and will be back again soon“

“Update:1/2/25

Awesome customer service, the gentleman who served my husband and I were friendly and attentive. Wasn't busy on a Thursday night.
10/10 recommend.

Great experience! Excellent customer service. Wasn't as busy and I loved it!“

“Are you considering Catering Korean Foods? If then, look no further. This place is situated in the heart of downtown Atlanta. Their foods were absolutely scrumptious as well as the owner and other staffs are super friendly and amenable. Top notch services and quality as you can see my photos. Thank you! 😊🙏🏻
We definitely would be ordering again.“

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

“There are a few locations that we go to for korean bbq but for this type of meal (organ meats) I have to say "GopChang On Fire" is our go to location. Great food options, great atmosphere, great service, and great owner that is always accommodating. If you were ever on the fence of trying organ bbq meats, I would highly recommend trying GopChang and making it your stable and standard. I don't think it could get any better then this.“

“Food and service was great“

“I am a regular here and I absolutely love the food and environment. The service is great, especially Alice and Jason! I really appreciate how friendly and welcoming they are, and I highly recommend!“

“Ate to our heart's content and we were so full that everyone had the best sleep of their lives. Our server Diana (I think that's her name. She has a ponytail with bangs) was the sweetest and made funny remarks. Our other server was a visibly irritated every time we asked for more sides, but maybe he just had a long day. Diana did an excellent job informing us and helping us with everything. Love this place and would definitely return.“

“After patronizing this wonderful restaurant for over 15 years it’s time to let my secret out. I lived in Korea for a year and haven’t experienced this level of authentic Korean freshness and hospitality since. The owner makes all the vegetable dishes she serves you herself…yes, she will be serving you personally. That includes the Kimchee and Doenjang (fermented soybean paste). The latter takes her 2 years to make!! I love the food and the warm service here so much that I have added this restaurant to my advanced directive…it’s my requested last meal, should I be so lucky. :-). Once you've eaten here you will understand why her walls are covered with "Best of Atlanta' awards dating back two decades.

Vegetarian options: The wonderful vegetable side dishes (Banchan) are the best part of eating here. And she is always creating something new and exciting.

Parking: Lots of free parking. :-)“

“就在公園的旁邊很方便 這份辣雞肉的飯雖然份量很少，但味道還不錯。“

“I order this all the time on uber eats and will continue to do so. have picked up as well. The sweet potatoes and kimchi fried rice are amazing, I'd give them 6 stars. but the small meat portions (especially the chicken and beef), and the poor quality of the breaded chicken make me give it a 4 star.
The service is good but they could make sure they do a better job at pleasing uber eats customers.
The atmosphere could be better, decent for a shady area of downtown but I'd like to see a bit nicer tables/setup. They have storage out in the open as well. put that in the back and you have a whole extra table“

“First time there. Had a great experience!“

“We dined here the evening of 9/27/24 and left very impressed! Not only was the food great, but the two ladies who attended us were so gracious, kind, and attentive. If you've been to some of the other mainstays on Buford Highway, you'll know that service can sometimes be brusque and impatient. Not the case here! They really made us feel welcome.

We ordered the short ribs, tofu stew, and seafood pancake. Everything was tasty, but wow, that pancake was the star of the show. It's huge! I'm talking as thick as a deep dish pizza, lol. Also, it wasn't soggy from oil like they sometimes can be. Needless to say, we left full and happy, and we will be adding this to the Buford Highway rotation ?“

“? Bulgogi Rice Ball, fish cake stick, bulgogi gimbap, chicken gimbap and Harue Topokki was really good! Remind me of Seoul Street Food when I went to Korea last year. It was flavorful and love the fresh ingredients.
? must get the Korean Fried Chicken Plate. It was huge portion enough to feed a family. The sweet and spicy was perfect season and delicious.
? the tonkatsu omurice was amazing! The fried rice was perfect season and freshly made. This is my favorite dish here.
? the Harue signature bulgogi box and sweet & spicy chicken box is a such steal! They have all my favorite in one box.
? Must get the soju and Mango Juice

I love that all of @haruekfood meat comes from farm-fed, humanely raised cattle. All of the seafood choices are 100% prepared and delivered in USA. The ingredients are locally grown, and arrive fresh daily.

Harue Kfood brings the flavors of Korea right to your neighborhood. The food here is comforting, satisfying, and perfect for sharing with family and friends. Whether you’re craving classic Korean dishes or something with a modern twist, they got you covered. Every dish is made fresh and packed with the bold, authentic flavors that Korean food is known for. ??“

“Went there on a whim because of seeing it on DDD this week while we were on vacation. Ironically we live in Atlanta and when we got back in town decided we would go. Everyone should go to this place! fantastic food!
We decided to rank the six different taco types we had. We decided that we have two number ones. Two number twos and two more that were also fantastic.“

“A place where you can always enjoy a delicious meal. Enjoy a filling meal thanks to the variety of side dishes and delicious food. I recommend it.This is a place where you can always enjoy delicious food with a good mood. Various side dishes and tasty meals. Highly recommended.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Delicious food. Fun Atmosphere.“

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

“Food was Delish! We will be back!“

“Every time I order from this place, it’s a treat. I’ve been a repeat customer for almost 3 years now? Since they’ve been a business essentially. My favorite are the cauliflower wings and the sesame sauce with tofu bowl. The portions have gotten better over time, and they never disappoint.“

“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.“

“I have driven by this place for four years, and finally stopped in today. Blew me away. I got the A1 with an additional bulgogi Kim bap (I was hungry). Everything was outstanding and delicious, and I am half Korean with high standards. The A1 was a little pricey for what you got, but the à la cart Kim bap gave generous portions and was super cheap.“

“My partner and I eat here every Sunday for lunch regardless of whether or not we have shopping to do. The quality of every meal we’ve ordered is more than exceptional. My personal favorite is the Galbi Tang. This is the best soup I have ever had hands down! 🙇🏽 It saved my life one day after a hangover and I’ve respected this meal ever since. You won’t find meat this tender just anywhere! My partner loves to order the Kimchi Jigae and can’t go too long without it before she starts malfunctioning, 🤯. We absolutely love our Sundays and if we didn’t have this amazing restaurant in our schedule it honestly wouldn’t be the same. Thank you so much!“

“Our first experience and it was incredible to say the least!! The food was delicious.“

“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“

“the staff was very friendly and made you feel welcomed. I had the lucky pockets for an appetizer with an Asahi beer. They also give you complimentary separate small dishes , of kimchi, another of potatoes, and one of green beans. The entree I had was the Ttukbaegi Bulgogi, a marinated thin sliced ribeye, in a beef stew. This was a wonderful dish, served in a hot pot bowl. Absolutely recommend this on a cool autumn or winter evening.“

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

“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.“

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

“I enjoyed this restaurant. I went for lunch and while I paid $3 for hot water and a teabag, the bibimbap box was $15 and came with three small sides, a soup, and a salad. Korean food is delicious, but I've definitely had it just as good for cheaper at other places. Service was fantastic and I'll definitely be back to try more.

Definitely not ordering hot tea next time“

“First time ever trying a Korean style corn dog and was definitely not disappointed the taste was AMAZING and it was well worth the trip to try this place out“

“Delicious and unique. I ordered the #4 cheddar dog and added hot Cheeto coating. It was delicious. I’d like to try the potato mozzarella dog next and they have sweet options and you can cover them in sugar, yum. There’s a huge variety of toppings that you can put on yourself too beyond that. Definitely worth checking out if your at H-Mart or in the area

Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly“

“Ramen was yummy. Shrimp and pork dumplings were nice. Beef bulgogi was also very good. Had the pomegranate drink and it was tasty and a good option for the meal. Service was quick, a little impersonal, but the touchpad ordering probably helps when it’s busy. Clean and quiet restaurant.“

“Ms. Rita was the absolute BEST host that we’ve encountered on any of our food journeys! She took the time to explain the menu and spice levels and even gave solid recommendations for our kids. This was our first time having Korean food and it was all amazing. I highly recommend the fried chicken. The original is really crispy, so I can’t imagine how crispy the extra crispy is. As a fair warning, if you only slightly like spice, you want to get Level 1 spicy. Our family loves spicy foods, and the Level 2 was one of the hotter spice levels we’ve had anywhere. There is also a level 3 if you’re up for it! We stopped here on a Sunday around 12:00 after most of the brunch places had at least an hour wait. We were able to get in with no wait and the food was amazing! If you’re on the fence, try something new. We will be back for the chicken and ramen next time we’re in ATL.“

“Perfectly crispy juicy chicken“

“the black spider roll might be my new favorite sushi roll in the world. the portions are also extremely generous & make it well worth the price, each piece was huge. the softshell scrab tempura was just delectable. the people in the back also were nice and seemed hardworking. i will be back :)“

“I live nearby and decided to make a stop in and was so glad I did!! The food was DELICIOUS! 😋 I had the Honey Garlic Chicken and it was very flavorful and cooked just right. I will definitely be back soon to try some other items. Miss Priscilla was very helpful in helping me choose something delicious and was so friendly!! 😀 Great service!!“

“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!!“

“Food:
Their sweet & sour pork (锅包肉) is the best among all the ones I’ve had tried. Every time I come here, it’s my must-to-order. Their 烤冷面 (first pic) tastes also really good. I personally don’t like lamb but I loved the beef tendon skewers! We (2 people) wanted to order more food but the large portion of each item stopped us.

Service:
The food came pretty quickly. The server welcomed us and was very nice.

Atmosphere:
The restaurant isn’t that big but enough to have privacy as they leaves enough room between tables. The place was maintained clean and well.“

“Our family has been coming here for years and the food & service has been consistently amazing! I always see the same ladies and they’ve always been so friendly & kind. Their black bean noodles and spicy seafood noodle soup is hard to beat. This is our go to spot everytime!“

“Walked in after a long day of classes and we were immediately greeted by the wonderful staff. They told us about the specials going on and gave great recommendations to my friends and I. I got the steak and sesame chicken. Will absolutely be back with friends. (Better than panda)“

“Yes I would.... Staff on Point“
