50 Best Korean Restaurants near Johns Creek

“As a Korean, this place gets my full thumbs up. I was craving some tteokkbokki and this place is really solid and I LOVE their tuna gimbap. And more than anything what compelled me to write this review is the exceptional service. They were running behind on orders and the kind woman was still offering to clean tables and give us some fish cake broth on the house. So sweet“

“Ms. Dog is a really great place to go to! The cheesdog and sweet and spicy rice cake was so deilicious I LOVED IT! Yall should check it out plus service is really nice!“

“Very delicious! Nice atmosphere and staff was very nice. We ordered the makrel and tofu soup combo(i recommend death level if you like spicy), scallion seafood pancake, and bibimbop. The Banchan was very flavorful as well, 10/10 recommend 🤘“

“Brandon was fantastic! The food was delicious. very enjoyable. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Love their wide selection of side dishes! Their tofu soup is packed with seafood, including a blue crab claw, which was a nice touch.

We also enjoyed the donkatsu with udon—it stays true to Japanese flavors, and they even give you a mortar to grind your own sesame seeds, which adds to the experience.“

“Dear Papa’s Dumpling Team,

I just wanted to take a moment to say how absolutely wonderful your restaurant is. Every time I visit, I’m blown away by the warmth of the atmosphere and the incredible flavors that come out of your kitchen.

Your dumplings, in particular, are truly exceptional—perfectly tender wrappers, delicious fillings, and that perfect balance of seasoning that makes every bite unforgettable. Whether steamed, fried, or in soup, they’re easily the best dumplings I’ve ever had!

Thank you for creating such a delightful dining experience.“

“This Korean restaurant was an all around great place to eat. The free appetizers were all delicious and vegetarian, the soup and dumplings we ordered were good, and the people were very sweet. Ben, our server, made the dinner and even greater experience with his infectious personality!“

“I'm visiting the area and of all the places I've ate at over the past few days, this is the best! It reminds me of the street food I had in Korea when I was a kid. Everything tastes really fresh and delicious. I had some spicy noodles and bulgogi kimbap. It was hard to decide what I wanted because everything on the menu sounds so good.“

“Me and my husband have been coming here for years and we love it! The meat quality is amazing, the staff are very friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is so warm and welcoming! Would 100000% recommend coming here!!“

“the reviews don’t lie y’all. it really is worth the hype. visiting for the first time from michigan and the service was exceptional, speedy food to table, clean environment, aesthetics, everything. Wherever i travel to i always tend to seek for a good korean restaurant and i would gladly recommend this place in alpharetta. Wish i would’ve gotten my servers name, as she cared and attended to our table like a mom she was so sweet and had so much love to share. Please try to visit if you’re able!“

“Every time I travel to Duluth, Georgia, this is one of the places I always come back to. The food here is made with so much care, and the customer service is truly exceptional.

This time, I had the grilled eel, and it was outstanding. Eel is a difficult dish to prepare well, and since I love eel, I’ve tried it in many places. It’s rare to find one that is this thick, clean, and perfectly grilled. You can really tell the kitchen knows what they’re doing.

The service was just as impressive. Our server was warm, attentive, and polished in a way that honestly felt hard to find anywhere, even in Korea.

One of the reasons I enjoy coming to Duluth is that it has so many great Korean spots, and this is one I genuinely recommend. The restaurant is clean, the atmosphere is comfortable, the service is gentle and professional, and the pricing is very fair for the quality.

If you’re in the area and want a place that serves Korean food with real care and excellent hospitality, this place is absolutely worth visiting.“

“Tasty good food. Generous portions at a good price. Did I say tasty? Really tasty. Friendly service. Definitely coming back!“

“Food and service was great“

“I dropped in for dinner. My first time trying this restaurant. I ordered the pork cutlet and Soondubu with tofu and dumplings. I asked for extra spicy and was not disappointed. The meal came with rice and some pickled cucumber and radish, kimchi, and bean sprouts. Added some hot tea and it was a superb meal at a very reasonable price. This could have easily fed 2 people. All in all a very wonderful dinner with awesome friendly service.“

“We were looking for an easy dinner spot and, based on Google results, decided to give this place a try with little expectation. We’re glad we did. It’s a small restaurant with dark decor and simple tables, but the service was friendly and attentive. We ordered wings, skewers, a seafood pancake, and a seafood clear broth stew, and really enjoyed the meal. The seafood pancake was the best, crispy without being hard and full of flavor.“

“The tofu in the soft tofu stew here is different from other places – it’s incredibly fresh and delicious. They offer many kinds of soondubu jjigae, and the nutritious stone pot rice dishes are amazing as well. Everything is clean, well prepared, and full of flavor. Even the crispy pancakes were fantastic. This is actually my parents’ favorite restaurant, and it’s easy to see why!“

“Visited for the first time yesterday to have the kimbap and it was delicious! I'll be back for more.“

“Dinners with dad, episode 874, later edition…from dinner the other night while visiting my parents…had already had an amazing breakfast…then an equally amazing lunch…but this pork belly and trotters weren’t going to eat themselves! This place gets more and more crowded each time we come…dad loves to talk about how much his youngest granddaughter loves this place…then says, ‘She might be the most Korean of the 3 grandkids…’ The pic of him laughing is after the server asked what type of soju he wanted…he said none but he could use one! I told him to order a bottle but he said no 🤪 If you like pork and spicy acorn noodles, this is your go to in Atlanta!“

“I recently had the chance to visit BBMyun in Duluth, GA, and I’m so glad I did—it was an amazing experience from start to finish!
I had the tempura fried shrimp, fried dumplings, and the spicy beef ramen, and everything was absolutely delicious. The ramen had the perfect balance of spice and flavor, and the appetizers were crispy and fresh. My guest ordered the don katsu plate, which came with white rice, a corn side dish, coleslaw, and crunchy cubed daikon on the side—such a well-rounded and satisfying meal.
I also tried a Korean coffee, and wow—it was incredibly flavorful and potent. I’m not even a coffee drinker, but I would definitely order it again!
There are so many restaurants in that plaza, but I’m so happy I chose this one. I was so impressed that I even asked to speak with the owner to personally compliment her. She was very appreciative, which made the experience even more special.
I will absolutely be back and highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great food and a welcoming atmosphere!“

“Literally all the chicken flavors are good, with sauce, no sauce, bone-in, boneless, everything is fantastic, I honestly can't just pick one flavor to recommend, try them all! The staff is super friendly, this is my go to place whenever we want fried chicken.“

“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“

“Sorimmara in Duluth is a total hidden gem! ✨ The food is an absolute flavor explosion—every bite is authentic, fresh, and seriously addictive. 🍜 The staff are such gems, too; they’re incredibly welcoming, attentive, and make the whole experience seamless.
The environment is chic, spotless, and has the perfect vibe for a fun meal out. 💖 You seriously need to come experience this for yourself! If you haven't been yet, this is your sign to go. 5 stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Located at food court inside Mega Mart . We ordered at the counter and were given a beeper to wait at the table. The wait was about 10 minutes. They don’t take cash so the payment had to be made by card. There is a water dispenser for you to help yourself with either cold or hot water. Both Jajangmyeon and Jjamppong were good. The price of jiamppong seems a bit high.“

“Have you ever had chicken so good that you had to slow down to savor it? Mamma mia, this is some good chicken!! I went there to meet up with a good friend and the only thing I thought about on the way out was coming back to share the experience with my family. The chicken was crunchy, moist, and sweet (I had the Honey Garlic). Cooked to perfection. I'm a big guy and 1st thing the employee did was adjust the other booths to make me more comfortable as I waited for my friend. Great food, exceptional service! I will definitely be back to try more flavors.“

“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.“

“Our first time here & definitely coming back. From the friendly staff to the clean place & amazing food. We were full & happy when we left. Even the robot was on point with the service...lol“

“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 ordered the Sundaeguk (순대국) for $17, and it was absolutely delicious. The soup was incredibly hearty, rich, and comforting — exactly what you want from a good bowl of sundae soup. The portion was generous, and everything tasted fresh. The kimchi and kkakdugi sides were also crunchy, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the soup.

The restaurant operates self-serve style. You order at the kiosk in the front, they call your number when the food is ready, and you pick it up at the front corner. Water, utensils, and seasonings like salt and pepper are all available for you to grab yourself, which makes everything quick and efficient.

The only downside is the space — it’s quite small inside. When I went, there was still plenty of seating at tables and booths available, but I’ve heard it can get really packed during peak hours. Overall, if you’re craving a comforting, authentic bowl of Sundaeguk, this place absolutely delivers. I’ll definitely be back!“

“First time there. Had a great experience!“

“I honestly have nothing remotely bad to say about this spot. I'm mad at myself for waiting so long to try this place. The food is amazing, prices are fair (lunch specials are SO cheap), and service is great! It gets busy for lunch, so plan accordingly! My personal favorites are tofu soup, yi si signature soup, spicy squid bibimbap, but lets be real, everything I've tried so far has been delicious here.“

“Hands down the best pork stone bowl bibimbap I’ve had in the U.S. So flavorful and perfectly seasoned.👏👏
They offer a great variety of side dishes like kimchi, fish cake, pickled cucumbers, and bean sprouts, and the fried fish was an awesome surprise.
The owner and staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. Super recommend👍👍👍👍👍“

“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.“

“This is one of the best Korean catering companies that we have used at the office! We've had a lot of hit or misses catering companies in the past. The Korean Thanksgiving food was delicious! We have a multicultural office environment and some of the employees are picky. The picky employees hands down loved it! The owner spoke both Korean and English so it made my order so easy. Mrs. Kim was very sweet and threw in some extra goodies in the order. We will definitely order from The Banchan again for future catered orders. Everyone was hungry so we didn't take any pictures of the bulgogi, jjun, songpyeon rice cakes, chicken ggan jeon (these went fast and there were no leftovers of this chicken), japchae, odeng noodle salad, young radish kimchi, and melons. You can taste the TLC in each dish! Thank you!!!!“

“First time trying KBBQ and it was amazing. This place does have an all you can eat option but we went with a platter at the staff recommendedation. My only complaint was I expected to cook my food my self but they did it for me. No stars off for that because they did an excellent job doing that and we did not have to wait for the next set of meat to be cooked. Definitely would go again.“

“Food is really good. We come for lunch all the time.“

“A staple in my diet. I take all my friends here for casual Korean dining. Everything is fairly priced and the portions are big. They’re always quick with their service and the food always hits the spot. I crave their spicy pork all the time. And their fried combo is the bomb.“

“The restaurant environment was very welcoming.
Everyone was very respectful and friendly. As a first time customer I am EXTREMELY impressed by the service and quality here. I will be returning 100%. Special shout out to the owner, as a stranger he was very helpful, and treated me as equal as everyone else there. One of a kind service, you won't find another like it. Thank you
Korea Garden:)“

“The ahjumma Becky is awesome and friendly! The Korean Steak pizza is DELICIOUS! All I'll say is to season & cook the original chicken a little bit better. The batter was really light and lacking crunch. But other than that, I'd definitely come back. 👍🏾“

“What a fantastic find!
On the surface, this place looks like a casual Korean pub, but it's a hidden gem serving up some seriously authentic and high-quality dishes.

My friend and I came for a casual dinner and were blown away by the food. We started with the assorted jeon (모둠전), and it was phenomenal. You get a variety of savory, pan-fried pancakes, each with a beautifully crispy texture and packed with fresh ingredients. It's a must-order.

The main event was the Bossam with oysters (굴보쌈). The pork belly was cooked to perfection and served with incredibly fresh, plump oysters. The combination of the melt-in-your-mouth pork, the briny oyster, and the crisp kimchi was just great.

If you're looking for a low-key spot with genuinely delicious Korean food that tastes like a great Korean meal, you have to check this place out. I'm already planning my next visit!“

“I had an incredible time, our server Ann was phenomenal. She made our experience one of a kind and was super friendly. Definitely returning again“

“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.“

“Alllll hands down !! When I'm in town visiting always eat here. My sweet lady and chef always remembers me. 100stars !!!“

“K-Mom’s Kitchen feels less like eating out and more like being welcomed into someone’s home. The flavors instantly reminded me of my mom’s cooking and even more so, my grandmother’s. The main dishes are comforting and well done, but what truly makes this place special are the side dishes. That generous spread of banchan, paired with a small bowl of warm seaweed soup, is what gives the meal its soul.

It’s a true hole-in-the-wall spot, cozy, humble, and full of heart with limited seating inside, but that just adds to the authenticity. This is the kind of food that carries history and care in every bite. If you’re looking for Korean food that tastes like it was made for family, this is the place. Highly recommend.“

“Bare bones. Friendly staff (my friend was affectionately called “favorite worker” at the place by one of the waiters!)

the food was jaw dropping. I recommend everything without reservation. Pork bibimbap is my favorite.“

“Amazing Korean Food in a simple location but packs a huge punch. I came here solely based on the recommendation of this soup I have been craving. Gamjatang is a spicy pork bone soup. This item at Daebal House was a massive tower of amazing flavor! The menu has a fairly small but simple listing of typical Korean dishes from soup to meats ——while I was there 99% of the patrons are eating this dish. This place is open after 5pm and is similar to a late night bar with fine dining food… Highly recommend if you are in the area and want authentic quality tasting korean food and experience with friends. Oh and the kimchi is the BoMB!!!!!!! So yummmmmmmmmmy! First pic is when it came out!! Second pic is after we all ate to our hearts desire and there were still leftovers!!!!!“
