So, I'm not a huge Korean food fan but I get it in where and when it's available. Suffice to say, last week on a leisurely outing, I came across an amazing Korean BBQ spot right in the middle of downtown Decatur. A bit of backstory here, (for those who are familiar with Downtown Decatur GA there used to be a void where food was involved, with the closing of the old Micks restaurant) Now, post Covid the downtown foodie scene in Decatur square has taken a huge leap into the present with many new eateries, one of which is D92 Korean Barbecue set beneath a new luxury high rise building. Entering through the door, patrons are met with a wide open and welcoming foyer areas. The space is expansive yet, inclusive and smacks your senses once you step in. The smell of grilled Bulgogi, and fresh Kimchi is delicious and as my group was seated the hostess was swift in her approach to let us know our chef would arrive shortly to take our order. We tried the Lemon Pepper chicken, the shrimp and the Bulgogi and coupled with the array of pickled radish, pasta salad, and Kimchi the food was amazing. Now, with such an amazing review I have to point out a few things that didn't work. The cheesy corn side that is prepared by placing shredded cheese and corn into a dish that was along side the opening of the grill top became burned and was inedible once the cheese became brown and encrusted to the dish. Also, of your a shrimp fan, be forewarned, we had a few shrimp that were not properly deveined and had to refuse that portion of our meal. It is unwise to eat shrimp that is not properly deveined, yet the staff seemed to wave it off as "Just part of the experience"... The drinks were great but the bar seemed a bit reserved and limited in its offerings. All in all, the food (that HAD been freshly prepared and cleaned) was delicious and aside from the shrimp, made our visit noteworthy. We'll give it some time to work out the shrimp issue and give it another shot soon. (Side note: as we were leaving, the hostess offered me a set of their silver metal chopsticks...)
