50 Best Korean Restaurants near Decatur

“I love coming here. The food is absolutely amazing and delicious“

“I am in love with their mala chicken. I came here during the mid afternoon, so it was almost empty. Service was quick, and the place was quiet. They have two TVs on if you're the type who enjoys background noise or visuals.

I wish the mala chicken had more sauce because it was delicious. Because we had the rose tteotboki, it was a good combo with both. It wasn't dry and mostly breading luckily.

They have a happy hour everyday 2-5pm. So we got a beer pitcher which was a few dollars less. They only have 4? Beer pitcher options. I tried their ponce at night IPA, which was okay, not extremely bitter. They didn't allow samples so we took the gamble.“

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

“Wow is the food amazing you got to hit the shrimp. The burrito is massive the tacos are awesome. The chips and salsa are honestly mid but overall you cannot go wrong here. Honestly the manager could have been a little nicer but maybe having a bad day.“

“Love gopchang on fire in Doraville!!! The manager always took care of our grill and he did so professional. The flavor is amazing, I can’t complain. It is wayyy better than the other place in Duluth (I didn’t like the way they grill) Best gopchang in Atlanta“

“authentic delicious Korean“

“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!“

“This is exactly the place you need to go if you care about wonderful people and wonderful food. The owner is so sweet and immediately made me feel at home. I live in pensacola florida and ate there with my partner at 1130 tonight. Forget all these big chains, its not worth it. Have Woon Dae is one of the best restaurants ive had in Atlanta. I will be back not only for the food but for the wonderful person that helped us. 😊“

“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.“

“The Blossom Tree is one of my favorite places near school — I’ve eaten here several times, and it’s always great. The staff are really friendly and welcoming. The menu has a lot of variety, and every dish I’ve tried has been delicious. My favorites are the fish tacos and the crispy chicken curry — both are full of flavor and perfectly cooked. Definitely a nice spot for a quick meal or to hang out with friends after class!“

“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.“

“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!“

“It was a bit tricky to find since it was tucked away in a corner of the building, but once we walked around the building, it was easy to spot. The food was authentic Korean cuisine, the kind that tasted like something your mom would make. 콩비지 was incredibly delicious and reminded me of my mom's cooking. There was a wide variety of dishes, and the fish and scallion pancakes were tasty. We ordered way too much food, making it a truly happy time.“

“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.“

“Delicious food. Fun Atmosphere.“

“Food was Delish! We will be back!“

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

“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.“

“Dined at HAN KUK JIP and had a really pleasant experience overall. The food was good — nothing wildly over-the-top, but solid and satisfying across the board. The atmosphere was nice and chill, with K-pop music and videos playing in the background, which added to the vibe. Our server was especially kind and attentive, which made the experience even better. We ordered the Rosé tteokbokki, kimchi pancake, bulgogi kimbap, and cheese corn, and everything came out tasty and enjoyable.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Makimono has grown to be my one of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta. Last weekend I was in Atlanta visiting family and I went to Makimono twice. My favorite dish is the Makimono fried chicken. I also really love the tofu soups. Every roll I’ve tried is fantastic too.
The restaurant atmosphere is very relaxed and the staff is attentive and helpful.
My partner has some allergy restrictions and the staff was very helpful about what was available for her to eat. We can’t wait to go back.“

“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 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!“

“Perfectly crispy juicy chicken“

“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“

“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 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!“

“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 had the opportunity to eat at Krave yesterday as a first timer. Excellent Korean restaurant!!!
Clean environment and efficient ordering/service. Food 🍱 quality was fresh - cooked to order. Highly recommended spot 💯👏🏽🐺.

Outside seating was perfect 🏆“

“Bene Korean BBQ is a great spot for high-quality Korean BBQ. The meat was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked by the server, so we didn’t have to do anything but enjoy eating. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was clean and modern. Definitely a place I’d come back to again!“

“I LOVED the potato cheese corn dog! They rolled it in sugar which sounds off, but WOW it works! I dipped in their cheese mustard.
Ive had to stop myself from driving 40+ miles just to go get one 😂
My daughter had the fruity pebbles corn dog dipped in sweet chili sauce and thought it was delicious.“

“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“

“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!!“
