Highlights

ATL Gom BBQ offers charcoal and oak wood smoked pork in the Metro Atlanta Area! We are the only Korean BBQ that smokes our pork belly for hours before serving it to be fully cooked. High quality oak is used to bring subtle notes of nut and sweetness to the meat. We also have one of the highest served Wagyu steak meat in the area. Our premium A5 Wagyu is unbeatable to the taste and tenderness.

I met a new friend who’s a regular here that wanna meet me for dinner around 7:30 pm on a Saturday night since I like to try out new restaurants and at times do reviews. I arrived on time but…While I was waiting and drinking, none of the servers rushed me to order more which was great. Service was pretty good until they started to grill the meat… a bit too fast and burnt, meat quality was so so, and very chewy… Oh, this used to be Gom K BBQ, maybe why I can’t upload pics…

I visited this BBQ restaurant for the first time, and it seems the place has recently changed ownership or rebranded from Goem BBQ to K 109 BBQ. A friend who lives nearby and frequents the restaurant recommended it, and he knows the owner very well. Overall, I had a pleasant dinner with the Pork BBQ set for two and some Soju. The sauce and side dishes were average, not particularly standing out compared to top competitors in town. The price seemed high for the quantity of meat served. While the service and atmosphere were great, something was missing to give it the highest rating for meal quality.

This is my parents’ favorite Korean bbq restaurant — they specifically come here for the pork belly. I went a few times so far and have had a really great experience each time. You do have to try your luck with your server regarding how well the meat is cooked, but no complaints because everyone is friendly the prices are great (although I live in NYC so all the prices are great down here). Now realistically, will you have the best k bbq of your life? Probably not. But for the price and quality of food and the service, it’s great, so 5 stars. Also, it’s popular with older people (like my parents) because sometimes if it’s only older people there, they will play music from their college years lol. It’s also not too loud, and the tables are each sectioned off somewhat for privacy — all of which they like.

Largest cuts of pork belly I’ve ever had! Came here on a date with my girlfriend and it was amazing. Exquisite food and friendly customer service. Would absolutely come back again and bring the whole crew!

My mom heard about this place from a You Tube personality who reviewed this restaurant. I don’t know if that Real Estate/ Lifestyle Video Blogger had any restaurant review experience or worked in the food industry but I wouldn’t say this is a Five nor Four star place. And my experience is in the food industry. Our family used to own a made-to-go order franchise and before then a deli in NYC. I’ve been a server and bartender and studied wine regions in college so I know a little more than the average restauranteur. (Also some published reviews and restaurant openings in NYC & ATL). Overall for the price point a little disappointing. Food: 3.5 noodle soup, 4 for pork belly Service: 4 very accommodating Presentation: 4 Ambiance: 3 So when I asked my mom what she thought of her dish compared to the best rice noodle restaurant in Seoul she said this dish was a solid 3.5 and she’s being generous. Her dish came out before mine but when she tasted it she said it was salty, which is a big flaw b/c this noodle dish is suppose to be light and not hearty or salty. Thankfully the owner came by and checked on us. I tasted it as well and it had a salty taste and a strong clam after taste. I like salty stuff so if I find it salty it’s definitely over salted or seasoned. They were kind enough to start over for my mom. She has high cholesterol so she needs to watch her sodium in take. The second time it was finally right, the noodle texture was soft but chewy and was hand sliced so she liked that but the stock she said didn’t need the spicy sauce and that it could’ve been more hot. Her palate like my aunt is very sensitive. My pork belly came out sizzling and perfectly cooked, cut into bite size pieces. My only disappointment was that there wasn’t a lot of meat , barely four strips for $20! Maybe dinner service prices? They probably cut them up into small pieces to make it look like you’re getting more. Plus the pieces were more fat than meat. 😕 The banchan (side dishes) that came with the meal individually all were very good. Two different types of kimchi one fermented the other fresh, the steamed seasoned soy bean sprouts were perfect, the spicy radish (각두기) was also perfectly fermented and crunchy, the Korean pickled radish slices as wrappers for the pork also on par. Once the noodle dish came out the second time it was perfect and had plenty of seafood in it with a mixture of clams, a few shrimp, julienned squid and something else. I would’ve ordered the traditional style and not seafood but that’s what she wanted. The only thing I didn’t like about the meal was the differences levels of audio through the place. At times it was really loud and other times nothing at all. There are three TVs and two played K pop so that was majorly distracting while trying to engage my mom in conversation. Random spurts of audio would pop up in the environment. Either keep it muted or on throughout, stop playing w/ the remote please!! I might come back just to introduce Korean pork belly to my bf. Honestly I’d rather make it home w/ my Lodge pan but the banchan made the meal worthwhile.

A place where you can eat at a reasonable price. The downside is that you have to cook the meat yourself.

Me and my boyfriend’s favorite date night is to try different K bbq in various locations. And I have to say, this is the BEST k bbq that we have ever had. The food, staff, and atmosphere were all outstanding. The pork belly is a MUST! And the kimchi is so so good! Rarely do I ever leave a review for places, but I had to say how good this restaurant is. I will definitely be back and will bring my friends and family :)

Update: we recently visited this place and they have improved! The service was good, marinated kalbi was awesome. We will revisit this place again. This review was 2 yrs ago: We had all you can eat smoke pork belly. Smoke flavor is not for me but the service was good and side dish as well. Two things 1) so smokey my eyes were hurting im not sure if their hood is working well or not. 2) it was hot but their did provide fan.

Our family loves pork belly. This place serves thinly sliced pork belly (looks like rolled briskets prior to grilling) and I loved it! It is fast to cook, and doesn't feel/taste the grease/fat from thicker pork belly slices. Banchan option is limited but I feel it is more authentic compared to other popular KBBQ stores. Speaking of authenticity, we were the only non speaking patrons. Everyone else was speaking Korean. To me this is a sure sign that this place is authentic and is preferred by "locals". The spicy marinated pork ribs were grilled /cooked in front of us and the same with kimchi fried rice. Both contain decent amount of sesame oil (the good high quality one) and we noticed the enhance taste due to it.

We spontaneously met my fiance's father here on a Wednesday night. I can't vouch for the unlimited or combo menu ~ Appa ordered the Bulgogi. The banchan came out quickly and the kimchi they served seemed to be bottomless and in a massive container ~ it was just okay. Things you should know: I. PARKING The restaurant is in the Assi Plaza. The shared parking lot is huge and will have plenty of free available spaces. Easy. II. SERVICE Our waitress came to attend to the Bulgogi fairly often, as busy as she was. We were very thankful. III. QUALITY The Bulgogi hotpot was delicious. The meat quality was excellent. The banchan, however, wasn't memorable. IV. CAPACITY Lively for a Wednesday night. Glad to see business is well.

When I was in Atlanta my friend and I ate here few times. It was always amazing. Chef Sarah pretty much adopted us. The food is great! We get the bbq usually the small beef and pork set. It's just enough food. Make sure you are hungry and prepared for the meat sweats afterwards. Pictured was the medium set, which they tried to discourage us from getting. There was three of this time but we -barely- made it though. Had to take some of it home in a box. But overall we made a decent dent in it! The inside is fine, nothing overkill. Nice size tables all with the grills and hoods over them. The TVs are playing random Korean dramas or reality shows. We kept coming back just for the quality of the food and the service chef Sarah would provide

Gom K Bbq is located in the same shopping center as Assi, off of Old Peachtree in Suwanee. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon, walked through a metal detector and was seated. Banchans we're quickly brought out. We got the Beef set in Medium that feeds 2-3 for my party of 3 adults and 2 kids, and an order of their dumpling soup. The banchans were kinda bland and I wasn't a huge fan of any of it, but my husband and son liked the spicy fish cakes. The dumpling soup was good and full of flavor, I just wished they cooked the rice cakes a little longer because they were hard to chew. The meats were all high quality and cooked over a charcoal grill. My husband enjoyed every bite. We usually like to cook the meats at our own pace but our server stayed and cooked all of our meats the entire time. The dipping sauce provided were salt and pepper, chili oil, sesame oil and hot sauce. My kids barely ate, glad we had another adult there or else there'll be lots of left overs. I was shocked we were allowed to take the leftovers to go. We usually don't ask because most places don't allow it, could be the menu option we selected. We'll have to try the ayce option next time.

Went here for a light lunch. Some members of our party asked for the mixed stew. Others were vegetarian and also averse to spicy food. The server offered the same dish but no spice and extra tofu. The food arrived and was prepared as we requested. Soups and stews not that complex in terms of getting it right, but accommodating custom requests from customers gets this place an extra two stars.

GOM bbq is our favorite Korean restaurant in Atlanta now!!! I have to say the food here is really delicious and impressed. The servers prep and grill all the items for you, and there are refills of the banchan (also very good) if needed. Overall, as the charcoal grilled meat was the highlight of the experience, it was a very memorable meal and definitely on my visit again I want to mention Sara is the best person there!!! she's service is the best in Atlanta.

ATL Gom BBQ (or Atlanta Gom BBQ) is yet another solid Korean barbecue restaurant in metro Atlanta. This one teeters on the four and five star line for me. Our dinner here was excellent and I recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious Korean barbecue experience. ATL Gom BBQ opened in summer 2016 at the Galleria at Sugarloaf, a.k.a. the Assi Plaza shopping center in Suwanee, not far from I-85 exit 109 (Old Peachtree Road). For in-town folks, this restaurant is far -- anywhere from a 30-to-40-minute drive from Atlanta without traffic. It's worth the drive if you, like me, love Korean barbecue and exploring new/different restaurants. Is it significantly better than several of the already very good Korean barbecue options in the area? Admittedly, no; there are just so many great options for Korean barbecue, especially in Gwinnett. That said, I think ATL Gom BBQ is worth checking out if you've never been. Who knows? It might become your next favorite Korean barbecue spot. This restaurant doesn't look as trendy as some of the newer Korean barbecue restaurants that have opened around town in the last five years. However, it's still nice and clean with some modern touches. The interior is cut in the more simple, low-key, and traditional Korean mold, which I appreciate (the newer Korean barbecue restaurants have strayed from this). The restaurant is spacious with a comfortable and casual atmosphere. There are partitioned sections of seating with lots of wood. I love the music playlist which includes K-pop hits from the late 90s (e.g. S.E.S.) through the early 2010s (e.g. Busker Busker). As far as the smoke level and smell is concerned, it's not bad. We left this restaurant hardly smelling like barbecue. Then again, during our visit for dinner on a Saturday night, the place wasn't very busy so that played a role as well. When we visited, the menu contained nine beef options ($21.99-64.99 each), six pork options ($19.99-22.99), and four unique seafood options ($14.99-31.99). No chicken. Like the competition, ATL Gom BBQ offers set course menus and unlimited all-you-can-eat (AYCE) options. There were beef courses ($99.99-149.99), pork courses ($69.99-99.99), and mixed courses ($59.99-169.99). AYCE options included unlimited 90-minute oak-smoked pork belly for $22.99 per person and unlimited brisket, oak-smoked pork belly, thin-sliced pork belly, and pork shoulder for $29.99 per person. While it's a bit more expensive per person, I recommend going with one of the course menus because you get higher-quality and better-tasting meats. Outside of Korean barbecue, the restaurant offers an abbreviated menu of Korean appetizers like kimchi and seafood pancakes ($18.99 each), lunch boxes ($12.99-15.99), and lunch and dinner entrees like noodles and soups and stews ($9.99-23.99). Beverage-wise, they sell soju, Korean rice wine and other Korean alcoholic beverages, as well as beer and wine. We had a group of four and were recommended (by staff) and ordered the "AA" course ($119.99 or about $30 per person). Our AA course included: First grill: * Beef brisket * Thin-sliced pork belly * Pork shoulder * Oak-smoked pork belly Second grill: * Pork bulgogi * Rib fingers * Charcoal-grilled beef I listed the meats above in the order they were cooked. The "first" and "second" grills refer to two different types of grills that were used to cook the meat. ATL Gom BBQ uses a combination of charcoal and gas grills to cook their food. All of the meats were cooked atop charcoal. The first grill was more of a solid-surface grill with slits cut into it while the second grill was a wire grill, exposing the meats to more charcoal. Generally, the first grill is used for pork while the second grill is used for beef. Overall, I thought all of the meats were quite tasty except for the pork shoulder. The pork shoulder seemed a bit dry and tough to me, but it wasn't anything a little sauce couldn't fix. ATL Gom BBQ provides a housemade sauce which you can add chili paste and chili oil to. It's wonderful. The rib fingers were my favorite. They were incredibly flavorful and melt-in-your-mouth good. The oak-smoked pork belly, which is one of this restaurant's specialties, was fantastic too. All of the meats were good quality. Banchan included kimchi (the more fermented kind), broccoli with gochujang, pickled daikon, jalapeno and radish, macaroni salad, spicy bean sprouts, salad, steamed eggs, and soybean paste soup. Fresh bean sprouts were also thrown on the grill. No dduk bo ssam (rice rolls) here. We also tried orders of their cold noodles (not included with the combo, $11.99 each) and they were A-OK. Condiments included customary fresh garlic and jalapeno, soybean paste, and sesame oil with salt and pepper. Phillip was our server. He was very attentive and lightning quick at cooking. He was so fast that we actually felt rushed while eating. The manager was really friendly and checked on us multiple times. In Korean, "gom" = bear.

I've always seen ATL Gom BBQ but never stopped by, until now. It's located in Suwanee, GA at the Old Peachtree exit off of I-85. It's in the same shopping center as ASSI supermarket. Korean BBQ is safe to say pretty popular in GA. Lots of them offer a similar menu and a similar experience for the most part. With so much competition, it makes it kind of hard to stand out now a days. Interior wise, decor is fairly simple, you have booth seating options with coal grilles built into the table beneath a vented hood for removing smoke. Which I will comment, you definitely don't leave smelling too smoky like some other kbbq restaurants. That's a huge plus is my book. The menu is pretty much like any other kbbq restaurant. All the meat options were pretty much up to par with what you would expect. Didn't see anything too exotic. You can choose to order from the menu or go for preset meaol with the meat already chosen for you. Of course you also have an all you eat option too, which if you order everyone else at your table will have to get as well. Your meal is accompanied with an assortment of small side kimchi and salad base dishes. You also get a steamed egg souffle. Pretty much what you would get at other places too. The meat quality is pretty good overall I would say. Not much to describe here, the meat tasted good for the most part so no real complaints. Beef and pork had lots of flavor and some smoky-ness. By the way they give you a lot of bean sprouts which cook right next to the meat. The bean sprouts takes like they have had some butter added to for a flavor boost. Service was pretty good. They weren't too busy so can't say how it is when it's a packed house. They come by often enough so you really don't get too much of alone time in between the meat cooking so it sort of feels like your server is part of your dining party too. Overall, it's a good Kbbq restaurant. It's sort of hidden so not too many may want to drive out to eat here but it's definitely worth checking out for sure.

Had the short rib soup with cabbage (lunch special is only $6.99!!!) with some buddies of mine today. The food was fantastic and the side dishes were great as well. Pricing is also pretty fair - especially the deal I went with. The -1 star is simply because I feel like their service could be better. The service was definitely friendly, but a bit lax. There were not many customers but our side dishes ran out and we were not given more until we asked for it (after waiting for a while) and we waited at the register for about 5 minutes before we were able to pay our bill (not because there was a line but because there was no one to help us at the register - we had to flag our server to help us at the register too). Will definitely be back again - especially for that lunch special deal! ^^

Well, well, well. I came across this place when I was in the area. This restaurant was a tossup, between another Korean AYCE. I'm glad that my luck didn't run out!! This place is great! This restaurant is located in a little Korea based area mall. Upon going inside, we was greeted with a warm welcome. We was seated immediately. The menu was very plentiful with different types of meat (from beef bulgogi to premium beef Wagyu.) When I inquired about the Wagyu, the server said that they were out. We tried the beef bulgogi, which was delicious, but too sweet for my taste. The oak smoked pork was perfect! Yes, Lord. That there oak smoke pork, was like they chopped oak wood, killed a pig, and sat outside all day, brought the pig in the restaurant (still smoking,) and handed it to me. I kid and play you not. We had the beef brisket, which was good. The thin sliced pork belly was good too. What I really liked, was the fact that the beef bulgogi was cooked near the flame. He said it wasn't cooked on top of the hot grill, because the juices will leak through... BINGO! I loved that. Shoot, I like when my meat can cook in it's marinated juices. The side dishes were plentiful too. My favorite was the pickled but sweet jalapenos and onions. We spent $30 per person here. I asked how much a soda was and if it was free refills. The soda was $1.99 with no refills. So guess what? My dehydrated butt drank ALL their water. They did all of the cooking for us. We didn't have a chance to cook ourselves, which was a plus. I enjoyed this restaurant, the friendly server and staff, and the atmosphere. This is definitely a "go back" ," take me here" restaurant!

Worst experience ever. Ask for 5 items and 3 of them are not in stocks and side dishes has no taste and water was never refill. Don't waste your money on this place go somewhere.

Literally when I stepped through the doors and stood at the counter there wasn't anybody nor signage to tell me to wait or seat myself. I waited for at least 3mins .... then from the floor I was motioned to grab any table. Once seated, the waiting time to take my order was again extremely exorbitant, as was the wait for my meal. Strangely, I arrived at about 11:25am, they open at 11:00am, and the restaurant was almost empty. The lunch crowd had not arrived yet. lunch hour first there not a lot of people. Either they were short on staff or need to hire more staff (only 2 servers who also bussed tables). The food! Well, lunch specials are 6.99 - 8.99 (5 soups with rice and sides), Monday thru Friday's from 11:00 am - 5:00pm. My lunch was delicious. I ordered the Kimchee/ Tofu Pork Belly Soup special for 6.99. This soup is super spicy hot. I ordered it a tad less spicy. It was verrrry good. My meal contained a lot of food. If you don't eat all of your side dishes you cannot take them to go. They are considered "free & complimentary" ... be ware! Then comes yet another long wait for my ticket as again the lunch crowd piled in AND there were only two servers . I neglected to mention that once I was served no one came to check on me. I had to flag my server down in the midst of him literally running from tables to kitchen, to ask for water then my ticket. Bottom line: Good food, decent prices, clean facility, but if you are in Hurry or on a lunch break this eatery may not work for you. My Podiatrist is out this way (Duluth) so I'll be back again. Hopefully, I will experience better service and can update my rating.

I usually don't like to review places I've been to only once, especially since first impressions can be off so I've decided to write this review because I've now been here twice. ATL Gom BBQ is a cozy Korean BBQ restaurant near Assi plaza that has won me over as a fan. Their interior decor is a balance between American BBQ and Korean BBQ and while I like that I would say their food is definitely geared towards Korean BBQ and Korean food lovers. What I especially liked about this place is their Galbi Tang and their quality. Being that they are open late night I am happy to announce I have found another late night option for great tasting and healthy Korean food not just Korean BBQ. My most recent visit was a late night visit and consisted of a Galbi Tang which was made with a Spicy option and let me tell you, it was fantastic. Taste and quality of Korean food are important to me and that their side dishes were delicious too at that. There is a saying in the Korean community, if the sides are good the food is good. I would argue that this is the case with Atlanta GOM BBQ. Lastly, their service. Well, I would argue when I first came here the service needed an upgrade. Actually, dare I say, it was not very good even. This can be overlooked slightly by the fact that they had just opened at the time. My most recent visit was met with a very kind and courteous waiter named John. He was very polite and kind and that says a lot esp since it was so late at night! So bravo and kudos to John who has merited this fine establishment a Yelp review and a decent one at that. Good customer service goes a long way in my humble opinion. 3.9875 stars rounded up plus a bonus star for good service and being open at late night when most if not all the restaurants around you in the Assi plaza are closed make ATL Gom BBQ a 5 glowing and throbbing Yelp star establishment. Well done guys, keep it up and have a positive day.

The best Korean BBQ restaurant in Atlanta. The meat selection, the employees and the owner are absolutely OUTSTANDING!!!!! I cannot say enough about this place. It is not commercial or franchise at all. The ambiance is par none, the kimchi is the best I've had. But beyond it all, sitting down at a table feels like friends and family coming back together. Whether you know the staff or not!!!

I've been super eager to try this place just because I'm a kbbq fan. I came on a Sunday around 2:30pm. There was a huge group of 50 already dining, so there were slightly understaffed, but the service was still great. They were very attentive. We started off with their smoked pork belly. Their pork belly is much thicker cut, about an inch thick, and they're smoked as well. You can definitely taste the smokiness of it. It resembles a mixture between bacon and bbq pork. I loved it. They cracked three eggs on the grill next to it to make a mini omelette sprinkled with cheese and green onions. Their galbi was super soft and tasted good, but the marinade was missing a little something. It wasn't the best galbi I've had, but it was definitely good still. The sides that come with everything are kimchi, green onion salad, pickled onions+jalapeños and cold radish soup. Their sauces are different. They have one sauce that's very light. It's similar to a ponzu sauce but without the citrus taste. It was sweet and slightly salty with green onions in it. They also have the Vietnamese chili sauce in a bottle at the table and chili oil as well. I mixed all the sauces together. Overall it's a solid kbbq spot. I would return solely for that smoked pork. There are so many other kbbq options too, so this may not be on the top of my list. The prices are decent. It was $19 for the pork belly and $30 for the galbi.

The staff is extremely friendly and nice. The meat is.. not bad, but not sure. I had the pork set, and some of the meat had interesting seasoning that I wasn't familiar with in kbbq. Would recommend you try out for yourself.

My wife and I just celebrated our engagement anniversary at ATL Gom BBQ, and it was such an incredible experience, from beginning to end. We have lived near Assi Plaza for 10+ years and have driven by this relatively new restaurant countless times over the past 2 years but for some reason, never stepped foot inside. We are meat lovers, and we've tried Honey Pig, Breakers, 9292, 678, KBBQ Factory, and a few others. 678 was probably our favorite... until today. I poked my head inside a week ago to look at the menu, and when I told the lady at the counter (who was unbelievably friendly) that we were celebrating a special occasion on 7/17, she assured me that if I brought my wife, we would not regret it. She was spot on. We decided to go with the AYCE option (typically $29.99, it's on sale right now for $24.99 per person). Our server today was seriously THE BEST server we've ever had at a Korean BBQ restaurant. Every piece of meat was cut with great care, and she even took the time to cut off burnt pieces (who does that???). Their smoked pork belly is the most unique tasting pork belly I've tried in Atlanta, and you can totally sense the higher quality vs. many of the other places around Duluth. The meat is thicker than Charles Barkley. It's also a charcoal grill, and while you do end up smelling like smoke once you walk out, gas grills simply can't compare in terms of taste. I wear smoky clothes smell like a badge of honor if said smoke emanated from a delicious restaurant. On top of that, because they knew it was a special occasion, they comped us one free serving of galbi, which isn't normally included in the $24.99/$29.99 AYCE special. The owner came by to check on us several times, and he even personally prepared our kimchee fried rice for us, which was a nice touch. The only two negatives I can even point out (this is nitpicking, I admit) is that the banchan isn't as delicious as some places, and I wish we got a small sweet treat at the end (shikkae or a yogurt would have been perfect). But again, neither of those things can take away from the fact that this was genuinely a 5 star experience. I think more people should give them a shot. I think part of the reason you don't hear much about them is that 1. They don't advertise much and 2. They're tucked away in a hard-to-see corner of Assi Plaza and 3. They're not in that convenient Duluth Korean BBQ zone (where the 2,503 other AYCE Korean BBQ restaurants reside). If you've already made the trek to Duluth, just head up a few extra miles up 85 or Satellite, turn onto Old Peachtree, and give them a try. You will not regret it. Thank you, ATL Gom BBQ, for making our special occasion even more special. Delicious food and exceptional service. You cannot ask for more.

My mom, cousin and I went here spur of the moment the other day. They were running 3 all you can eat specials. We selected one and loved it. The marinated meats were especially delicious, with the marinated pork rib being my personal favorite. The sides were very good and you could get more as desired. The staff was really friendly and they all kept an eye on our food. If one person was busy, someone else would come to our table to turn our meat over. It was excellent teamwork and so much food! We will definitely be back.

Recommended by a colleague who lives in the area and it did not disappoint. This was my first experience at a Korean bbq restaurant. The meat is cooked right at your table on this grill built right in. We had several cuts of beef and pork, all were high quality and cooked perfectly. You are given a number of side dishes like bean sprouts, rice, and kimchi to go along with it. The pace was awesome because they cooked each type one at a time, so you didn't fill up all at once. Prime rib and marinated spare ribs were my favorite. Got to brush up on my chop stick skills, which also paced the eating.Service was also very good, personable and attentive. I want a restaurant like this near where I live!

One of best Korean BBQ place. Meat quality is the best in the town. Owner and workers are so kind and nice. Marinated beef is my favorite .Must try the non- spicy cold noodle. If you add some vinegar + mustard sauce in the noodle, you will be surprised^^ I always treat my customers going this ATL Gom bbq.

Im a big dude. Never really picky about my food.. but this place really is something else. Service is ridiculously horrendous and the manager came and asked me why I was burning the meat.. she proceeded to burn it more than I did.. funny thing is, she told us we could eat the pork belly she somehow burnt without fully cooking it all the way through. Servers continually forgot about things we asked for. We had AAA course and it costed us 170. I wouldnt pay more than 20 bucks for the whole thing. The meat was of terrible quality and tasted like nothing.. no wonder their sauce was overpowering. I also had the NaengMyun.. If you know anything about NaengMyun, you know how hard it is to mess it up. (And if you didnt, now you know) This place did just that. The broth was just watery and had no taste.. I wouldnt give this place even a single star if it were possible.. It was just that bad.. Im surprised they didnt fuck up the rice wraps.

I never make reviews but this place actually sucked. The server was unbelievably rude and she just tried to cook our meat fast. We asked for more side dishes and she didn't even reply to us nor did she even try to respect what we even wanted. Honestly this place just deserves a 1 star rating Update: She didn't even give us our soup and steamed egg until the end like what's the point at that point

OMG!!!! That food doesn't taste good. They have the worst service. The service here really sucks. Dining here was one of the worst experiences I've ever had.

The meat here is delicious and the service is great! I also felt safe in the restaurant-You take a temperature at the entrance to ensure your temperature is not high-a symptom of covid-19. Also, the waitstaff and the owner are all wearing masks throughout the restaurant. I will definitely go back! Also, you must try their cold noodles - AMAZING!

This place has THE BEST QUALITY MEATS for both pork and beef between all the korean bbq restaurants in atlanta. Unlike the other places, they serve their AYCE meats same quality as when you order one serving of the meat!! I have been to all korean bbq restaurants in atlanta and this place serves the most juicy and flavorful meat. If you are a beef lover, i recommend Ribeye Steak, A5 Wagyu and Marinated Short Ribs If you are a pork lover, try the Oak Smoked Pork Belly. They are originally known for it!!

This place legit!!!! I have been in NY, NJ, DC, AND ATL but this place has the best Sam gyup sal!!! Must try if you are visiting Atlanta. I haven't tried other beef or pork but I am sure it is very good as well

Came here for the A5 Wagyu (off the menu) and it did not disappoint! It was $65 for a slice of steak, which I thought was a good value. Also tried the Shrimp (4 large for $18) which was excellent. They use charcoal which I think adds a great flavor over the regular gas fired stoves. The brisket ($14 lunch special) was standard. Their service was a bit slow but not bad. We ordered kimchi fried rice which they brought out at the end - really liked the crispy flavor. I eat spicy food, so stuck with the table side chili sauce and chili oil. Everything tested better with those! The Banchan wasn't the biggest selection but I was there for the meat, so left happy.

Have seen feedbacks that the place actually prepares the cold noodle broth in Pyungyang style, but Was disappointed. Nothing out of the ordinary. If your are looking for the traditional style cold noodle, I suggest looking elsewhere.

Been here 3 times so I figured why not review it. Meat quality is great compared to Iron Age, Korean BBQ,9292, Nice atmosphere. Only pet peeve is service could improve some only reason why I didn't give it a 5 star. Every time I've been there they forget the sides or the rice they just feel disorganized. I just feel staff has no experience, oh and the smoke is pretty bad they need better ventilation. I wanted to go and eat there but because I need to go some place after I didn't, only because I would smell like the smoke and food. Over all just minor issue that can be fixed and I will definitely continue to enjoy there meats.

Overall service is too suck!!!!!!!! Servers never smile at customers. Since it a band new restaurant, they must focus on services. When we ordered extra side dishes, they always charges on each items along with annoying facial expression and were being so lazy. Does it make sense that e ordered $500 for company's dinner, and don't give a free extra soup? Servers are not trained enough. Not good at cooking at all. They don't know what to do and how to serve people. ALL servers look very gloomy and seem really don't want to work. Quality including food and services, it is a cheaper version of 678 or 770 BBQ. Please please go to 678 or 770.

Menu is outdated. Server just lingered the holy time. We thought we were going in for a great menu for 27 per person. Came in it was 35 for 4 different options of meat..

Their meat is pretty well smoked and it was prepared in advance!! All the meat had nice hickory smoke embedded in it! They grill the bbq next to you without disturbing your company!!! Theirnside dish were.also nice. It's worth going since its very differnt from regular korean bbq place. Heah hostess was pretty kind and considerate! She made sure if there was amything we had to improve!!!!

Plenty of Korean BBQ places have popped up, so many that it's rare to go somewhere that offers something unique...ATL Gom does just that...smoked pork belly, Prime beef rib and neng-myun were all terrific...the griddle next to the coals used for sautéing bean sprouts was a great addition...the service was EXCELLENT too.

One of the nicest and friendliest kbbq's I've been to in a while. The beef combo can be shared between 4-6 people and the sequence they cook the meats for you is a perfect pace. The marinated pork ribs (dweji galbi) and beef rib tips (neuk gan sal) are highly recommended. Jason served for me and was extremely knowledgable and made the meal experience comfortable. If you are looking for a cozy yet elegant authentic kbbq experience Gom BBQ is the spot!

I ordered beef short rib soup w/ cabbage, when it came it was spicy. I told the lady to take it back because it was spicy. She kept arguing with me that it wasn't spicy and wouldn't give me something else. Don't eat here. People are rude.

Alexis R.

Yelp
Had my doubts when we came in. Our server was so helpful with our questions about the food. Once the food arrived I enjoyed the beef options greatly. Definitely will be back. I do wish they had more beef options on the menu, since I don't eat pork but the alpha option has some I felt obligated to pick the most expensive option because it had more beef.. the side choices were okay, I wasn't aware if I could pick my own sides and or get more.. other than that it was a very enjoyable experience we will be going back.

Delicious food! The grill is super fast with oak wood. The Bulgogi is so fantastic!! The Beef Ribs were so tender and juicy. The Kimchi is spot on. Love this place! Bring a party or family to experience this great place where they cook your bbq at the table!!

Avoid any Korean restaurant(especially bbq) that charges for more rice. I've never seen on in Atlanta and this is the first one. The rice bowl is already half the size of a regular bowl. They charged me $1.50 for more rice. RIDICULOUS. Oh and their bean paste soup had no taste and watery. It's really hard to make that bland.

My husband and I recently went here for a date night. We love Korean bbq so this is prob the 5th spot we've tried. Until now we preferred breakers but this place was just as good if not better overall. The place is casual but had a good atmosphere. The price was very reasonable and the meat was delicious. There is an abundance of sides and the wait staff was attentive and friendly. So glad we found a great place close to home. We will definitely be back.

Let me give some background information on myself first. I lived in Korea for 3 yrs, so I know how Korean food is supposed to taste. In addition, I have lived in this area for almost my whole life and therefore have been to many Korean restaurants in this area. Now to get to the actual review, the food was ok but a bit overpriced. That alone would have gave the restaurant 4 stars, but the waitresses did not seem properly trained. They forgot one of the dishes that we ordered and also forgot to take the order of the table next to us. Despite the nice interior, the food did not live up to it's price. We ordered the cold noodles and galbi combo, the spicy cold noodles, galbi stew, and .The portions seemed small and the taste was mediocre at best. However, the place has just opened, so I might consider coming back before giving this place a permanent judgement.

New management! I loved the new service and saw the change. Plus I love your $24.99 AYCE! It'd be really super popular if it was a bit cheaper, but I enjoyed it.
