I used to be a regular at this restaurant long time ago but after a few recent bad experiences, I will not be back. The older lady serving us was talking on the phone the entire time we were there, even while taking our order!!! I thought that was absolutely ridiculous. She came back to double check and then triple check our order (while STILL on the phone) because she didn’t pay attention the first time we ordered. And the order still came out wrong…. One of the banchan dishes were spoiled (bean sprouts should NOT be sour), and she completely ignored us when I brought it to her attention. And sure enough, hours later, we both had a terrible stomach ache…

The food and service are ALWAYS phenomenal. It is a place that always feels like home no matter how long it has been since I've been to visit. Cha is always a gracious and kind host and makes everyone at the table feel like family. Leaving full of great food and memories is the norm for any visit here.
The most authentic K-BBQ spot i've been to in the state! Genuinely cannot recommend this enough for people who are tired of how watered down & americanized a lot of K-BBQ places are nowadays. The short rib and kimchi soup are killer :3

Got some Beef Bulgogi and Short Rib, which was very very good!!! The lady who was the cook helped me learn how to use chopsticks properly and encouraged me to try some other menu items (which were also very very good), so the service here was amazing!! Will come again!!!!!!

We had a great family dinner here! It was delicious, authentic, and unlike any Korean BBQ we have had in the area. It is family run and we enjoyed speaking with the owners- both of whom were super friendly and hospitable. We can’t wait to come back!

5-Star Review: An Unforgettable Korean BBQ Experience! I just had the most incredible dinner at this hidden gem of a Korean BBQ spot, and I can’t stop raving about it! From the moment I walked in, the old-school vibe hit me in the best way—cozy, authentic, with that classic grill-at-your-table setup that feels like stepping into a timeless Korean eatery. No frills, just pure charm and the mouthwatering aroma of sizzling meats filling the air. The service was hands-down the best I’ve ever experienced at any restaurant—attentive, warm, and genuinely enthusiastic about making sure we had an amazing meal. Our server guided us through the menu, refilled banchan endlessly, and even helped grill everything to perfection. It felt like dining with family! We ordered the spicy pork (perfectly fiery and tender), classic bulgogi (sweet, juicy, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious), and their signature kalbi—oh my gosh, it was the star of the show! Those marinated short ribs were incredibly flavorful, charred just right with that signature smoky sweetness that Korean BBQ is famous for. Paired with all the amazing sides—fresh kimchi, pickled veggies, and so many more banchan that kept coming—it was a feast for the senses. Everything was fresh, portioned generously, and cooked flawlessly. This place nails authentic Korean BBQ while delivering top-tier hospitality. If you’re craving real-deal KBBQ with heart and soul, run don’t walk here. I’ll be back soon—10/10, highly recommend! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This place has been here over 30 years and is the most authentic kbbq spot in Atlanta. The owner cooked gave us a room, showed us how to eat, and served my party of 6 with 10/10 service. Not many other kbbq spots have lettuce wraps but she showed us the best way to make them. The owners brother, John, was an excellent help in deciding what we should order. I will be returning with my friends and family!
Always great service, atmosphere, and food. Ever since I discovered this gem I would prefer to go here over any chain KBBQ place. Fresh sides and always fresh ingredients.

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

Life changing. My wife brought me here and I have been to several Korean restaurants but this one is truly authentic. The family owns and runs it. They show you how to properly eat Korean food. The food is absolutely amazing and everything down to the Korean bean paste is made in house. It is a hole in the wall and has been there for 30 years. If you want real Korean this is the place.
