“Great food and atmosphere“

“The steak quesadilla is delicious!“

“Kukga Topokki serves some great Korean street food. Their Topokki is perfectly chewy with a rich sauce that has a balanced taste of spicy and sweet. The Kimbap is fresh, the fish cake skewers are delicious and the fried snacks are crispy and delicious. The portions are generous, the prices are great. Well worth a visit!“

“Super friendly staff! Constantly, coming around to help and check up on us. “The All You Can Eat” price was definitely worth it! We made sure we got our bellies full!“

“This food is by far won of the best street food i have had at any korea restaurant ever there food is extremely delicious and there prices are very affordable i paid only $4 for my Whole meal, it includes free water too this is the best placd i have ever been at 10/10 highly recommend???“

“If you’re craving soondae, this is the place to go! The prices are a bit on the higher side, but the flavors are worth it. The restaurant offers a wide variety of delicious Korean pork dishes, including samgyeopsal, and everything is cooked to perfection.

One tip: if you visit on a cold day, avoid sitting near the windows as it can get a bit chilly. The seating near the kitchen is much cozier. Highly recommend for authentic Korean cuisine lovers!“

“They're in the same plaza with Teso Life and Sweet Hut. It's not easy to find parking in front of the restaurant but the plaza parking lot is spacious so no need to worry about parking.

We came on the weekend and didn't have to wait to have seats. The place has nice decor with artificial green but being done right so it looks nice and bright. Service is good and fast. The food ingredients and quality are good. However, as for tofu soup, it's not the soft tofu cube that most Korean places serve. The tofu texture is more broken so it threw me off a bit. The texture is like soft fish roe or soft ground meat. They also don't have spicy levels; so if you can't eat spicy food, like me, the tofu soup options get very limited. The bbq rib We had:

- Oyster seaweed tofu soup + BBQ pork combo: both the seaweed and tofu are pretty broken and scattered. The texture doesn't do well with me. The taste is alright.
- Pork BBQ main dish: my boyfriend likes them because they don't have bones like ribs.
- Grilled croaker whole fish: this one is my favorite, slightly salty but the fish was grilled properly, crunchy on the skin and soft tender meat on the inside. You have to be careful eating since the fish is served as a whole with bone in it.

Every table has its own utensil and napkin drawer, which is very convenient and saves both guests and servers the time to ask for more utensils or napkins. Each table has their own hot tea pot and cups too.

Overall, I like the quality of their ingredients and the ambience and cleaness of the restaurant. I'm not a fan of the tofu texture in their tofu soup, and the limited options on non spicy soup. I might come back mostly for the grilled croaker.“

“Update:1/2/25

Awesome customer service, the gentleman who served my husband and I were friendly and attentive. Wasn't busy on a Thursday night.
10/10 recommend.

Great experience! Excellent customer service. Wasn't as busy and I loved it!“

“I visited from out of town for work and stopped in because I love hot pot and Korean bbq! Was expecting top to be good but it was more than good! I ate my weight in food and because it was all delicious! My server Cody was phenomenal! He was very attentive, personable and had a great recommendation with the beef finger meat! I would recommend stoping by Top and if you can have cody as your server!!“

“Great restaurant! Everything was delicious. The price it was also a great surprise. Just 4 stars because my daughter wanted to try the sushi and they are not offering it anymore. Please update the menus and pictures on Google. Nothing else to complaint.“

“First time. Ordered the Rose Tteokbokki really spicy not much rice cake but the sauce is yummy. Really good sauce its sweet
with a reeeaal kick. The addons they added in were good wish there was more. Would be really good with some Ramen noodles next time. Will give this place a try again.“

“nothing short of awesome...food ..and service“

“There are a few locations that we go to for korean bbq but for this type of meal (organ meats) I have to say "GopChang On Fire" is our go to location. Great food options, great atmosphere, great service, and great owner that is always accommodating. If you were ever on the fence of trying organ bbq meats, I would highly recommend trying GopChang and making it your stable and standard. I don't think it could get any better then this.“

“It was so nice to be able to eat warm bossam.
The side dishes were very delicious, and the bossam tasted even better when I ate it with cold buckwheat noodles. The hot pig's feet sauce is absolutely amazing. This is the best restaurant in Atlanta.“

“I was very excited to try Jang Su Jang! I've heard lots of good things and wanted to eat some authentic Korean Food! We got the 된장찌개 and the 갈비찜. The Soybean Soup did not taste bad, but it was definitely different than what I am used to. I've had it at many different restaurants before, and the taste at Jang Su Jang is very different. Despite this, it was still pretty good, but not what I was hoping for.

The Braised Beef Short Ribs were humongous. We could not finish it, but it was decent. I wasn't really blown away by the taste of the food. However, the service was impeccable and extremely friendly. I would still recommend this place.“

“Food and service was great“

“I'm so happy I found this place! I've been here like 4 times already & I always leave so full & satisfied. The BEST seafood boil place I've been to, & I've been to plenty. Their wings and fried rice combo is also a big hit among us. If you want some alcoholic drinks, I recommend the lychee soju ! You can share it with friends & it tastes soo good. I can't wait to try more items from the menu. It's also a plus that they're opened late, since everything seems to closed at 9 or 10. It's a small nice restaurant by a gas station but don’t get discouraged cause their large menu and food will have you coming back.“

“Just went there for first time. Nice indoor dinner, friendly staff and excellent food. I ordered a bowl and it was excellent worth the price. Not sure about the fried chicken. I found it somewhat pricey. $15 plus $4 to make it a combo. Not sure how many pieces comes. Couldn’t find qty.“

“I do love it here. I am not a breast girl so I was so happy to know that they use dark meat for their boneless chicken. I usually get their honey garlic and original. Of course you gotta try their fried rice with spam and rose ttukbokki. Those are a must.“

“I recently had dinner here and was completely blown away by the improvement in food since the new owners took over the restaurant. We ordered the clam noodle soup which had a very clean and homey soup with chewy noodles. It came with kimchee that is probably the best kimchee I’ve had in a restaurant. The woman who works there told me that they make it in house, unlike other restaurants that outsource premade ones. The fried variety plate was well done and freshly fried. Finally we got the burdock root kimbap (rolls) which was the best vegetarian rolls we’ve ever tried as it comes stuffed with huge pieces of fluffy eggs. Definitely eating here regularly.“

“Ate to our heart's content and we were so full that everyone had the best sleep of their lives. Our server Diana (I think that's her name. She has a ponytail with bangs) was the sweetest and made funny remarks. Our other server was a visibly irritated every time we asked for more sides, but maybe he just had a long day. Diana did an excellent job informing us and helping us with everything. Love this place and would definitely return.“

“After patronizing this wonderful restaurant for over 15 years it’s time to let my secret out. I lived in Korea for a year and haven’t experienced this level of authentic Korean freshness and hospitality since. The owner makes all the vegetable dishes she serves you herself…yes, she will be serving you personally. That includes the Kimchee and Doenjang (fermented soybean paste). The latter takes her 2 years to make!! I love the food and the warm service here so much that I have added this restaurant to my advanced directive…it’s my requested last meal, should I be so lucky. :-). Once you've eaten here you will understand why her walls are covered with "Best of Atlanta' awards dating back two decades.

Vegetarian options: The wonderful vegetable side dishes (Banchan) are the best part of eating here. And she is always creating something new and exciting.

Parking: Lots of free parking. :-)“

“My wife and I absolutely love CHOI’S GRILL BY CHEF JK… it’s definitely one of our faves! My mom was born in Seoul, Korea, so I grew up eating authentic Korean dishes and have a very discriminating palette. With that said, CHOI’S is totally legit Korean deliciousness. The food is always fresh and flavorful, the portions are generous, and the staff is incredibly kind with a strong spirit of servitude! Oh, and the SIDES are sooooo good. As you might imagine, we highly recommend CHOI’S and recommend them to others at every opportunity. They definitely deserve a FIVE STAR rating. ENJOY! 🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷“

“First time there. Had a great experience!“

“Saw Kimchi Red on IG and had to try it. We ordered the spicy Jeonju fried chicken and it was delicious! The crunch was amazing and the sauce was the perfect blend of spicy and sweet and sour. It’s a bit pricey but the portions and taste make up for it. Customer service was excellent. We explained it was our first visit and the kind lady took the time to go through the menu. I highly recommend!“

“Good food good food good food“

“We dined here the evening of 9/27/24 and left very impressed! Not only was the food great, but the two ladies who attended us were so gracious, kind, and attentive. If you've been to some of the other mainstays on Buford Highway, you'll know that service can sometimes be brusque and impatient. Not the case here! They really made us feel welcome.

We ordered the short ribs, tofu stew, and seafood pancake. Everything was tasty, but wow, that pancake was the star of the show. It's huge! I'm talking as thick as a deep dish pizza, lol. Also, it wasn't soggy from oil like they sometimes can be. Needless to say, we left full and happy, and we will be adding this to the Buford Highway rotation ?“

“This small cozy restaurant offers some intestines as the main dish to order. It may be adventurous to some who are not used to it, but if coming with friends it will be a fun time! While it is a Korean restaurant, don’t let that deter you if you only speak English and are unsure about the menu. The servers here are nice and are able to assist with both the cooking and explanation of the menu. Ordered a combo plus some additional large intestines as it seemed to taste the best in my opinion. While the restaurant can be busy towards the evening, the servers do try to help everyone. They may forget to fill waters/hot teas and take some empty dishes away but overall a great experience. Side note it feels a bit cheaper to drink beer/soju here compared to other restaurants so I felt encouraged to drink here with this meal and will highly recommend to drink alcohol when eating this kind of meal.“

“Overall, it was a great experience. Self-service, no tip concept is nice, makes this place more affordable.

My partner and I had seafood cream pasta, jalapeño pasta, and buldak chicken. The pastas were awesome. The seafood cream pasta was creamy and steamy hot. Jalapeño pasta is spicy and tangy. If you dont like sourness, it might not be it for you. Buldak chicken was so-so. The chicken itself was great, but there was not much sauce on top (kinda worked out because the sauce didn't go with the chicken). Overall, for the price, it was a wonderful experience.“

“? Bulgogi Rice Ball, fish cake stick, bulgogi gimbap, chicken gimbap and Harue Topokki was really good! Remind me of Seoul Street Food when I went to Korea last year. It was flavorful and love the fresh ingredients.
? must get the Korean Fried Chicken Plate. It was huge portion enough to feed a family. The sweet and spicy was perfect season and delicious.
? the tonkatsu omurice was amazing! The fried rice was perfect season and freshly made. This is my favorite dish here.
? the Harue signature bulgogi box and sweet & spicy chicken box is a such steal! They have all my favorite in one box.
? Must get the soju and Mango Juice

I love that all of @haruekfood meat comes from farm-fed, humanely raised cattle. All of the seafood choices are 100% prepared and delivered in USA. The ingredients are locally grown, and arrive fresh daily.

Harue Kfood brings the flavors of Korea right to your neighborhood. The food here is comforting, satisfying, and perfect for sharing with family and friends. Whether you’re craving classic Korean dishes or something with a modern twist, they got you covered. Every dish is made fresh and packed with the bold, authentic flavors that Korean food is known for. ??“

“My mom and I stopped by for dinner and had an awesome meal. From the warm tea before the meal, 10 different side dishes, seaweed soup with our main dish, to sikhye (Korean rice drink) at the end of our meal, it was a worthwhile experience for the price! The side dishes and the seaweed soup were really delicious, whereas the spicy pork was decent. My mom got the fish and she really enjoyed that. The service was very friendly, and we ended up purchasing two of the side dishes at the end of our meal to take home. 10/10 would definitely recommend for a homey Korean style meal :-)“

“I saw this place on instagram and I saved it to my list of restaurants to eat while in Duluth. I came here before the Ateez concert and was not disappointed!! Everything was so good! I got the pepperoni pizza, chicken and some beer. It was definitely 10/10. Chicken was crispy and the pizza tasted like it came out of a brick over with a great cheese pull! I’m definitely pulling back up again. Staff was also nice and helpful!!“

“Absolutely incredible cuisine...A wonderful atmosphere...Family owned and operated...A must goto place when traveling...“

“I had an amazing experience at Bally Budaejjigae! The food was absolutely delicious and truly authentic. The budaejjigae was packed with flavor and had the perfect balance of spice and ingredients. Every bite was a delight, and you could tell they use high-quality ingredients in their dishes.The staff was also very friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, adding to the overall great experience. If you're a fan of Korean cuisine or just looking for something new and delicious to try, I highly recommend Bally Budaejjigae. It’s definitely worth the visit!“

“It's a neat soup restaurant where you pay at a kiosk and don't have to tip. You pay first and the wait time for your food to come out is not very long. Food allergy information is unclear as there is no separate explanation. I'm eating well.“

“Our family has been going for many years. We go at least once a month in the last 5 years. They recently(last year) changed management or owner but managed to remain the same quality and price. Our favorites are tofu soup, galbi, seafood pancake, and grilled mackerel.

Kid-friendliness: My kids have been coming here since they were toddlers and they are 9 & 10 now There is enough accommodation for seating. No special kids menu but like all Korean restaurants it’s easy to find stuff to share with small kids.“

“A place where you can always enjoy a delicious meal. Enjoy a filling meal thanks to the variety of side dishes and delicious food. I recommend it.This is a place where you can always enjoy delicious food with a good mood. Various side dishes and tasty meals. Highly recommended.“

“Got the seafood soup with ramen versus spicy and mackerel. The mackerel was great and a huge piece as well. The soup wasn’t as spicy as I thought it would be getting the highest spice level. The ramen also took away from the soup. The sides were blah. Other than that it was decent. Service was great“

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

“I went with an acquaintance for the first time and ordered a meal, but it tasted better than I expected. I ordered cheonggukjang soft tofu and tripe soft tofu ribs, and the owner kindly asked me how it tasted, and the people who ate with me were satisfied that it was delicious, and I also enjoyed it. ^^“

“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!“

“I go here often when I want to eat soft tofu. There are many places that sell soft tofu in Suwanee and Duluth, and this one seems to be the best. There are many types of soft tofu and you can choose the level of spiciness. It's nice that the rice comes in a stone pot so you can make scorched rice and eat it. In addition to soft tofu, there is also a stone pot bibimbap flavor. The servers are friendly and they refill the side dishes immediately after you finish eating them, so I enjoy the food every time I go. The atmosphere of the restaurant is old and shabby, so I recommend visiting for a quick meal rather than a special day.“

“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!!!!!“

“The food and atmosphere is amazing here every time! Our server Andrew was amazing and super friendly and helpful with deciding on the food.“

“I ate the basic omelet rice and kimchi omelet rice.
The kimchi omurice was so salty that it was difficult to eat.
It was salty overall, and when I chewed the kimchi, it became even more sour and salty, so I had no choice but to pick out all the kimchi and keep drinking water while eating it.
I felt like it was a waste to eat it all, but it was so salty that it made me feel sick.
I didn't lower the rating because it wasn't tasteless, but I would like to ask you to check it out.
It may be difficult to check up all the menus that are served countless times, but if it is not just the menu I ordered and all the kimchi omelet rice is salty and spicy, it seems that improvement is needed.
I am saying this with the hope that you will do well, so please do not be offended and think positively. I hope your business prospers.“

“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.“

“This place is my absolute favorite pocha in the area! The food is consistently delicious, and the welcoming atmosphere and staff makes every visit enjoyable. I’ve been coming here frequently for over a year, and I’ve never had a bad experience. 10 stars“

“We used this catering service for my son’s 100th day birthday, and it was fantastic! The food was delicious—everyone loved it. We had bulgogi, fried chicken, chicken katsu, and cod jun, and everything was perfectly prepared. The fried chicken was a huge hit with our guests—it was garlicky with just the right amount of spice! Clara was wonderful to work with, always quick to respond and very sweet. She made the whole process easy, and the food really made the event special. Highly recommend!“

“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!“
