“More than 5 stars if I could!

I flew all the way from Costa Rica with Kalbi / Hae Woon Dae on my bucket list, and it was absolutely worth the trip. From the moment I walked in, the owner’s warmth and kindness made me feel like I was sharing a meal with family. The service was excellent—attentive, welcoming, and heartfelt.

The food was prepared with care, and every dish was unforgettable:

• Bul Gogi – Tender beef marinated in a sauce like no other. Truly a must-try.
• Kalbi & Squid BBQ – Perfectly grilled, flavorful, and memorable.
• Tteokbokki – Just the right level of spicy, an amazing appetizer.
• Hae Mul Pajon (Seafood Pancake) – Crispy, delicious, with a special sauce so good I wished I could bring it home.
• DoenJang Jjigae (Soybean Paste Soup) – Comforting and rich; I even had two servings of rice just to enjoy every last drop.

This was hands down the best Korean food I’ve ever had—100/10. The combination of incredible flavors, authentic preparation, and heartfelt hospitality made this an unforgettable experience. I can’t wait to return to the country just to visit this restaurant again.“

“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 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.“

“I tried this place by chance because the burger spot I originally wanted to go to was closed. The guy there was really nice and explained the situation to me, then recommended trying this Korean place next door. I’m glad we took his suggestion.

We ordered the crispy chicken rice and a taco plate with beef, shrimp, and crispy chicken tacos. Each dish came with a choice of two sides, and we picked fried dumplings, soup, and salads.

My kids absolutely loved the dumplings. They reminded me of the kind of dumplings I used to eat as a snack when I was little.

The sauce used for both the crispy chicken rice and the crispy chicken tacos was the same gochujang-based yangnyeom sauce — sweet, slightly tangy, and not spicy. It’s the classic Korean fried chicken sauce, and both of my kids loved it. The brown rice that came with the chicken was also perfectly cooked.

The soup side dish was surprisingly good too. It had real ingredients like mushrooms and felt much more homemade than the typical miso soup you get at many Japanese restaurants.

I also really enjoyed the bulgogi taco. The bulgogi was prepared in a Korean style, though slightly sweeter than usual, which actually worked really well in taco form. The fried shrimp was also nicely done.

The person at the register was very kind and immediately offered me a paper copy of the menu, which I appreciated since I have poor vision and would’ve struggled to read the menu on the wall.“

“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.“

“First time there. Had a great experience!“

“HIDDEN GEM!!!!! I had a sudden craving for some Korean food today and this hit the spot. Hands down best Ive had stateside. Food was so packed with flavor. That flavor that hits the back of your jaw. The portion sizes were massive and thats sating something because im not a small person. Every bite just hit the soul. The waitress was extremely friendly and super helpful with figuring out what to eat. The environment was calm, warm and inviting. This is not a place you will see just passing by on the street but absolutely worthy of stopping in for a meal. I will definitely return and next time i will try to upload pictures before i dig into the food. 100% my new favorite spot for Korean food. I only wish there was more that I could do to make this pop up on peoples google maps.“

“Great Place to take the family/Date/friends. I found them when I seen the ad they have running in the back of my Kroger Register Receipt. I go there more frequently thank to the ability to save a few bucks and pick up another cocktail. Thanks for coupons Kpot. Love them“

“Delicious food. Fun Atmosphere.“

“Food was Delish! We will be back!“

“This was our company lunch and we have ordered from here a few times! We opted for the bulgogi and the chicken lunchboxes! Both are really really delicious! I must admit that I knew absolutely NOTHING about Korean cuisine, but thanks to Letsbap, I am confident that I have a new favorite. My only complaint is that there isn’t one near me so when I have a craving, and we aren’t having it for lunch at work, I will have to take a drive! It is very much so worth it and I most likely will be visiting tomorrow… (although I just had it 🤫🧐😆)“

“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.“

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

“My husband and I had an early Valentine's Day dinner her last evening. We absolutely loved it. Vicky and Nick were pleasant and just down right inviting. The meal was delicious. The atmosphere is quiet and romantic. We will come again and next time we'll bring friends.“

“Perfectly crispy juicy chicken“

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

“The best corndog I have ever eaten!! I love corn dogs but this was at a different level!! And the staff was super kind!! I had the Cheetos and cheese Beef corndog.. it was huge and tasted great!“

“They have two food lines! I often get the bowl side when I’m extra hungry! The Tofu is one of my favorite I’ve ever had… and all the bowl ingredients added are top notch… the hot food line is excellent as well, my favorite is the broccoli cabbage mix and the plantains… bull gogi is my special treat when I’m working downtown… best food at Peachtree center“

“I love Korean Food and this did not disappoint! I ordered the Korean corn dog, Beef Bulgogi Kimbap and the Korean short ribs - and the flavor was so amazing and unique! The corn dog did not make it out of Lee +White, because I took one bite, and I instantly got that cheese pull that you see on social media, and needed a second and third bite! The Kimbap was served and it looked like a piece of artwork, and the taste, was even better! The short ribs, were tender, flavorful and worth ever single penny!

The staff is friendly, and helpful. They explain what types of sauces to use with that, and recommend what pairs well with your order. You can instantly tell that the owners care, and want you to receive true first class experience! They serve spirits and have a very diverse menu! I strongly recommend if you are ever at Lee + White that you stop by and give Okaay Korean Bistro a try! You won't be disappointed!“

“Went here for lunch with my teen and the food was delicious as recommended online by the reviews . Rita’s service was excellent and like mentioned the fried chicken chicken was 🔥 🔥🔥.will return again“

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

“Our 1st experience at Bene was 10 out of 10. It was extremely delightful, peaceful, and enjoyable! The food is exceptional and Andrew, the server, was very professional, attentive, and friendly to us. Our favorite dish from the all you can eat dinner was the marinated pork shoulder. We really enjoyed our experience and we will return by the Grace of God!“

“OMG! Oh K-Dog Doraville was more than okay they are AMAZING! I just so happened to be in the area and wanted a Koren corn dog. WOW! Me and my twin girls discovered a whole new world. This hidden gem has many treasures inside.
Upside:
As we explored the market we saw many TikTok items we wanted to try.. yummy 😋
Downside:
The only negative is the smell, once you get over the fresh meat, seafood smell, you will have an awesome time.
(Live Fish, lobster, crab)
I love the diversity of people shopping 🛍
If you find yourself near this area
(or Saint Emory Hospital it's about 15 mins from there).

I highly recommend Oh K-Dog Doraville. This outlet also have many other restaurants to try, so many food choices all in one magnificent location. 👍🏾👍🏾
We had this delicious Koren-style corn dogs; Flamin hot Cheetos, Potato and the Fruity Pebbles. The Tanghulu was amazing as well, delicious dessert. 😋“

“This spot lets you grill the skewers yourself, so everything comes out sizzling hot and freshly charred. It honestly feels like a late-night street food scene in China

⭐ Beef tendon skewers : incredibly tender with the perfect marinade. Flavorful without being overly salty. 9.5/10

⭐ The seafood & chicken feet stew: Loaded with fresh crab packed with roe, shrimp, wings, and chicken feet. The broth leans slightly sweet and savory, tastes very natural, and doesn’t have that artificial hotpot-base flavor.9/10

⭐ spicy rice noodles ; they soak up the broth beautifully and make the dish even more satisfying. Broth is too light, recommend to add more chili oil, is not spicy at all!! 8/10

Perfect for group dinners, food adventures, or if you just love authentic Chinese BBQ experiences.“

“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!!“

“Don’t sleep on the spring rolls! Believe me, you’ll wish you bought more. This place has never failed me. Served fresh, and ready to be devoured. Yep, definitely one of my GO-TO spots when I’m in the area. Plenty of seating, great views sitting as the corner restaurant on such a beautiful street.“

“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!“

“Tonight was my first time at Happy Karaoke and we honestly had the BEST time ever. Wu (the new manager) is so kind and friendly, and made sure our entire group was having a good time. I’d 10/10 recommend this place to anyone looking for a good vibe, good pricing, and good offerings. The mango soju is the bomb. Thanks for such a good time!!“

“When we visit son away at school, this is his go to spot for our lunch.

Our favs are spicy garlic, honey garlic, and plain pieces. Can't get enough of free pickled radish. A nice cool clean taste to counterbalance spicy garlic. Very tasty. Portions are more than single serve. Expect a tasty mess, need napkins...

Everything in ATL is kioski order. Bring your card to tap. I'll never get used to ATL prices, but it is worth the trip and price as an occasional treat for us.

Atmosphere is plain but very clean. Caters to uni students' fast pace.“
