First time visiting kochi maru. I heard a lot of good stuffs about this restaurant and I decided to give it a shot. When I entered the building there was empty like a ghost town. Two employees were inside the kitchen and one of them gave the menu and offered $80 to sit at the grill table. The server kept asking even though I said I am good. Just like any other reviews written about the small portion and high price, it is exactly the same. I don’t think I would never come back to this place.

Ultimate BBQ tableside experience
It's my goal to bring you all of the best Chinese style BBQ kebab spots in Metro Atlanta and more. This is the ONLY location with an automatic rotating tableside BBQ with real charcoal, delivered fresh to the table.
If you are a fan of Korean BBQ, then you've got to try this fun spot with friends.
While this spot does not have the highest quality kabob meat, it is definitely a fun experience that I bring friends ansld family to when I have a group of 4-8 people.
On a positive note, the skewers are not as salty as other places. So, you can ask for a spice tray to add to your food for more spice and salt.
Note: BBQ grills are at large table only with a minimum of $80 for the entire table. Good for large groups.

There's no hot-dishes at all, the main courses has 2 items unavailable. We traveled here for their hot dish. Disappointed.

Kochi Maru has been around since 2013 or 2014. It definitely had its peak back in the day. Last night we went and it’s not the same anymore. Foods were overpriced. Way too expensive for such small amount that you get. Also all of the food tasted bland with no salt. Please save ur money and time and go somewhere else. There are lots of other skewer restaurants that are better.

The food taste is good. However, the food is pricy for its quantities. A mixing chicken skeleton without much meet cost 16 dollar whiling 16 dollar should be the price of a roast whole chicken.

Absolutely loved this hidden gem in Doraville! The lamb skewers were juicy and flavorful, and the Guo Bao Rou (crispy sweet & sour pork) was hands-down the best I've had in years. Also loved the cold noodles with pickled veggies--super refreshing! Great drink options like fruity soju and honey pomelo tea. Perfect spot for groups too--they have big tables and even private rooms. Will definitely be back!

I used to come here all the time. Cold noodle lamb skewers are my favor combo. Yes they are bit pricy but at least you get a lot of meat on skewers. But now it’s a joke. I won’t be back. Very unfortunate lost another favor restaurant.

A SCAM!! Can you even spot the Spicy Beef Tendon in the photo? It’s a challenge because it is so TINY. So disappointed. The Lam Skewers were $20 and the meat quality is soooooo LOW. Amount is small. I don’t know how this place got so many five stars. Please save your money and do not come here. It’s overpriced and not tasty.

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.
