50 Best Korean Restaurants near Johns Creek

“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!“

“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“

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

“I ordered the rice bowl with teriyaki chicken and special dressing. My wife had the same except with spicy chicken. The chicken was moist but more importantly not a lot of breading. Nice flavor. It was a big bowl, too, so there are leftovers!

It takes 15-20 minutes as they make the chicken fresh. Worth the wait! Very good flavor and a good deal!“

“The squid we got , had a very nice Smokey flavor. We also ordered tofu beef soup, bulgolgi hot bowl, rice cake with dumpling soup, and bibimbap. The food was good just needed a little more flavor. I wanted to ask for some sesame oil to drizzle in my soup but I felt like the waitress wasn’t trying to make eye contact for any extra requests. No asking if we wanted extra side dishes (which we killed). I asked for a little bit of side dishes to go bc we had plenty of food left over and we ate all ours, but the owner told us they ran out of all side dishes. Is it true? I don’t know, but i feel it’s hard to believe. I would have paid for some but whatever. Would I go back to this location? Probably not.“

“They should honestly rename this place to 'Papa's Masterpiece.

​I’ve ended up eating here three times in a row because the food is just that incredible. On my first visit, the Jajangmyeon and Tangsuyuk instantly hooked me. I went back the next day for the Kkanpunggi, and the balance of sweet, savory, and spicy completely blew me away. By my third visit, I had to try the dumplings, Jampong, and their Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup—and once again, every single dish was absolute perfection.
​The dumplings are amazing as expected from the name, but the chef’s skill across the entire menu—from the noodle dishes to the fried entrees—is next level. It’s one of those rare, dangerous places where trying just one dish makes you want to order everything else on the menu. Do yourself a favor and check them out!“

“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.“

“Amazing food and exceptional service!!!! Highly recommend .“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“Okay, another Google bloop, I have rated this place 3 times already since it opened.

Phantom reviews. So here I go again, love this place for Korean food. Ive eaten Korean food in Korea. I was married to a Korean for many, many years. I know what Korean food is and what it's supposed to be. These guys have it down with love.

You name the dish it's game on, we come back here every time we have a craving.

So glad there's something Korean on this side of town so I don't have to drive over to buford.

Plenty of parking. Go to the parking deck and on Saturday do the farmer's market thing. Then, make this your brunch stop. Great place.“

“Just went there for dinner with my family! We tried the udon and the lunchboxes. They give good portions and the food is really good. The lady (I don't know her name) had amazing service and made sure we had everything we needed! Definitely recommend.“

“This place is fantastic! I’ve been here three times already, and each time, I’ve been thoroughly impressed. The portions are generous, and the food is delicious. The vegetable pancake is a must-try, and the pork rib stew is simply amazing. I never thought I’d like tofu, but this place has changed my mind. I’m definitely coming back!“

“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!!“

“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“

“First time there. Had a great experience!“

“My spot for gopchang no doubt because of their food quality. Besides gopchang, their pork belly is also top notch. They will grill the meat for you so in case you are not sure or unfamiliar with how to make it the best, leave it to them to get the perfect grilled meats 👌 they give the correct banchan and dipping sauce for gopchang and I wont explain further…
The staffs are doing a good job but it wont be all smiling and all of the friendliness at a typical American restaurant and it isnnt because they are rude or anything. they are kind so please patience with them“

“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.“

“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!“

“RUN HERE!!! DON'T WALK!!! AMAZING FOOD, MUSIC and chill casual vibe!!! You can come casual or dressed. Do not be alarmed it's at the corner of gas station. Inside it is its own little world 🌎 Service is awesome! They packed our food for us right infront us we dint even expect. The Seafood and flavored Lemonades are delicious!!!! The Philly steak egg rolls are bomb! The wings are fresh and crisp!! The crab legs ,shrimp broccoli and corn are on point! They should be packed all the time!! Definitely a HIDDEN GEM 💎 ✨“

“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“

“Well, me & my mom are vegans. We were excited to see google reviews about they have quite a few vegan options. But we were a little disappointed about the vegan dishes they have, the tofu stew tasted bland. The glass noddle was ok. However the waitresss & waiters were great. Very good service and the atmosphere is great. Of course this is NOT a strictly vegan restaurant so We couldn’t be too critical about the food. But it’s a great hang out with your Korean friends since we saw many Korean customers here so I think the food here are authentic.“

“I was honestly shocked at the portion sizes first time coming here, expect to split a meal with another if you eat very little. Great for anyone who’s really suffering from hunger. I really do like the “help yourself” approach as it means that there’s less obligation to leave a bigger tip for an underpaid waiter who depends on tips since you serve yourself, and rather more for the enjoyable dining experience. Every time I went it was always nice and quiet, perfect for eating a peaceful lunch.“

“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.“

“amazing food and amazing service. great experience overall 5/5 would recommend this place.“

“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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I had the lunch special, and overall the food was tasty. The side dishes were fresh, well-prepared, and nicely presented. I also really liked the complimentary fried egg—it was a nice touch. However, the rice was undercooked, which was disappointing. If the rice quality improves, this would be an even better dining experience.“

“So good 🤗 Everything tasted authentic even the white rice! I got the bulgogi bowl and it even came with japchae and with kimchi on the side! It is worth the price, I felt full from it. Will definitely be coming 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.“

“BB.Q Hands down has the best crispiest most flavorful chicken I've tasted in a very long time the flavors are on point the food is always fresh and the service it always phenomenal. I would recommend everyone try the Cheesling you will not be disappointed.“

“Easily the best K-BBQ I’ve had in atlanta. So memorable. The place was tragically empty when we entered, and we talked to the owner and she was talking about how hard of a year it’s been. Our kimchi pancake was fantastic, and when the actual meat came out it got so much better. The owner showed us traditional ways to eat and we had amazing conversations with her. The food was fantastic as well. Easily a return and please visit if you can! Help them out!!“

“The food in the picture was a lot for two people. We ordered combo fried, a 12 oz cup of tteokbokki, and regular donkatsu. The combo fried is perfect to try every kind and find out which one is your favorite. Mine was squid, though their fried dumpling and kimmari were good. We chose spicy Tteok-Bokki, but it was sweet and spicy, not too spicy. Donkatsu wasn't my favorite; the cut was less fatty, which made it a bit dry. The sauce is tomato-based, which isn't my preference, and the outside of the rice was a bit dry and hard. But overall, the food and service were good. The restaurant also offers a military discount.“

“We had the jjambbong, jajangmyeon, and tangsuyuk, and everything was delicious. The jjambbong broth had a rich, deep flavor, and the jajangmyeon tasted just like authentic Korean-style black bean noodles. The tangsuyuk was also excellent.
The owner was incredibly friendly and provided outstanding service.“

“The food is as delicious and unique as it is beautifully plated. Amazing experience!“

“My husband and I just had a late lunch here and it was SO GOOD! We went to South Korea a couple of years ago and this food reminded us so much of the food we had on our trip. Everyone was very kind, accommodating, checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. I definitely recommend you check this place out!“

“Doraville’s best kept secret. Best Korean place we’ve tried all across Atlanta, Alabama and Mississippi. Food is made to order. There’s primarily 1 server taking care of everyone, so be prepared to wait and be patient but it will be so worth it. Even banchan came out one by one out the kitchen.“

“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“

“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 was my first time here and I gotta say I was very pleased. We went here for a birthday party for a nephew. We had about 12 people in our party. I didn’t really know what to expect. But definitely glad he chose this spot for his birthday. The service and the food were phenomenal. We will definitely be back. I highly recommend you try this place at least once. And then you can determine if you’d like to go back or not, but I imagine you probably will!! Thanks for the great service and wonderful food. Everything was awesome!!“

“A small self-service restaurant with great, authentic gukbap! Busan is famous for its gukbap, and this restaurant attempts to emulate that taste. I found the mixed pork soup quite delicious and comforting. It had a deep, rich broth that was so creamy. There was a good amount of sliced meat, too. The kimchi and radish tasted fresh and went wonderfully with the milky broth and rice. A simple meal that never disappoints!“

“I recently purchased kimchi and a variety of side dishes from this place, and I was truly impressed. My kids, who used to dislike kimchi, now absolutely love it and ask for it all the time! The flavors are incredibly well-balanced, fresh, and delicious.
You can really tell that they use natural, high-quality ingredients. Every dish tastes clean, not overly salty or artificial, and has that comforting, homemade feel. It honestly feels like eating food that’s both nourishing and made with care.
If you're looking for authentic, flavorful, and wholesome Korean side dishes, I highly recommend giving this place a try. It’s not just tasty—it genuinely makes you feel like you're eating healthier!“

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

“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.“

“If you’re looking for authentic Korean BBQ in Suwanee, I highly recommend this place!

I tried the Pork Galbi and Suwon Galbi, and both were absolutely delicious. The meat was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly.

The side dishes tasted fresh and homemade, which made the whole meal even better.

Definitely one of the best Korean restaurants I’ve visited in the area. Highly recommended!“

“LIGHTS OUT DELISH! Y'all,this place delivers every.time! Tonight we had the Alabama Roll which is always top notch,but we branched out and got the baked Volcano Roll and uffff!!!SO GOOD!My husband got the Dancing Shrimp Roll and everyone should try it.Perfection!I hope everyone supports this great spot in Johns Creek because it's truly quality with wonderful service“

“I came here for the lunch special, and ordered a grill mackerel and a bibimbap. They were both pretty good but in my opinion it was a bit oily. The soy bean paste soup was good but was kinda spicy, but that’s probably because I’m a picky eater. I recommend this place!“
