Kang’s Kitchen opens with Korean barbecue at the Rio - Eater Vegas

"Three years since first revealed, Georgia’s K-Factory BBQ has finally expanded to the Rio and brought an expanded menu of Korean dishes, plus servers preparing orders on the grills installed each customer’s table. Now open as Kang's Kitchen, the project allocated $1.3 million in estimated construction costs back in early 2018, resulting in a stylish, contemporary dining room decorated with quirky, Las Vegas-themed murals. The parent company that operates three Georgia restaurants for the past seven years uses charcoal briquettes to enhance the flavor of its meats, and imported a similar menu, including à la carte and combination options. Among the appetizers, sausage and rice cake skewers, fried dumplings, and spicy tteokbokki, plus soups and stews, bibimbap, cold noodles, and rice dishes including pork steaks, squid, and short rib steak. The grill selections offers multiple choices of beef, pork, chicken, and seafood, plus the house “signature” meal priced at $88.88 per person, along with courses of prime rib, rib eye, beef tartare, hand-rub seasoned steak, short rib, pork belly, pork neck, and a beef short rib soup." - Bradley Martin

We had dinner for my brother’s birthday last night at Kang’s Kitchen and we were beyond satisfied with our experience. Our server Dani was extremely attentive, friendly, and cooked our meats to perfection. She provided us with solid recommendations as well. You can’t beat the service, meat quality, and cleanliness of this place. Highly recommend that you check it out!

Varieties of BBQ combo selection. Had it with korean cold noodles choice from small or large, always a good choice to eat with the BBQ. Employees cook the meat front of you. Many side dishes and sauces to eat with the meat. After the BBQ, can choose from kimchi fried rice, ramen noodles or jjapagetti ramen black noodles. Choices of alcohol beverages such as beer etc... It is a bit pricey, but its worth it everytime.

Also 10/10 would recommend the very sweet Danielle, she was so attentive and a great conversationalist! We are definitely coming back!! Thank you🙏🏾 💖

비빔냉면 and 물 냉면 is the BEST of the BEST!! Of course even better with their HIGH quality KBBQ!! I also liked how the servers are constantly checking in on you and they don’t burn/over cook the meat! Can’t forget the amazing side dishes as well. I could tell the chefs here are great! Highly recommend 👍🏻

Might be because it wasn't busy yet, but the staff was very attentive, and for the first time in a long time I didn't feel the need to do any cooking. Coal was added multiple times during our meal so you are definitely getting your money's worth in regards to service and the luxury? of the fuel. Meat quality is good. The short rib meat was very marbled. Sides are good too. Extra personal points for the green onion sides. We had the all you can eat so not much specific I can comment on.

Kang's Kitchen BBQ in Duluth is hands down one of the best Korean BBQ spots I’ve visited! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a modern yet cozy atmosphere that sets the stage for a fantastic dining experience. The quality of the meats is outstanding. Whether you’re grilling beef, pork, or chicken, everything is fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection right at your table. The downdraft vent systems are a great touch, keeping the air clear and smoke-free while you enjoy your meal. What I love most is the variety—there’s something for everyone. The combination menu is a personal favorite, offering a little bit of everything for a well-rounded meal. Plus, if you’re feeling extra hungry, the "All You Can Eat" option is a must-try! The service here is top-notch. The staff is always attentive and quick to help with any grilling needs or to recommend the best cuts of meat. The portion sizes are generous, and you definitely get your money’s worth. If you’re in the mood for authentic Korean BBQ in a clean, modern setting, Kang's Kitchen BBQ is the place to go. I’ve been back several times and it never disappoints. Highly recommend!

I visited for lunch and the food here is always excellent, and I’ve been consistently satisfied with the quality and taste. However, during this visit, the service felt a bit lacking. When serving dishes, sides, and drinks, the server handed them directly to the guests sitting on either side of the table, making it feel as though we had to distribute everything ourselves. Additionally, when we called for the check, the server approached with his hands in his pockets, which came across as overly casual. I hope these small details can be improved to ensure an even better dining experience in the future!

Visiting here is more than just a meal—it’s a culinary adventure that combines bold flavors with an interactive dining experience. From the moment you walk in, the warm and inviting atmosphere is enhanced by the tantalizing aroma of sizzling meats cooking on tabletop grills. The quality of the ingredients truly shines. The meats, ranging from marinated bulgogi and pork belly to succulent short ribs, are fresh, well-seasoned, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. Cooking them yourself over the grill is not only fun but also allows you to customize the level of doneness to your liking. What truly sets Korean BBQ Grill apart is the generous selection of banchan (side dishes) The service is attentive and friendly, with staff readily available to assist with grilling or recommend the best combinations of sauces and cuts of meat. Whether you’re dining with friends, family, the lively and social atmosphere makes every visit enjoyable

What's not to like about this place. It's massive! I've been to many Korean BBQ spots, but never one this large. There are huge TV's, making the place very suitable for watching sporting events. I've seen the occasional KBBQ restaurant with a handful of TV's, but this is next-level. Food? They've got that, too. Lots of it. Where do I start? High quality beef, naeng myun (full entree and half sizes), corn cheese, and they even will prepare kimchi fried rice or chapaguri (combined instant jjajangmyun & neoguri). I don't think I've scratched the surface of what they offer. Servers are very attentive as well. We ate and ate and ate and ate and ate some more. In Duluth, where there are a lot of Korean options, this one definitely stood out. Be prepared to spend some $$$, but it's worth it once in a while.

Short version: Kang's Kitchen BBQ Duluth (강식당) is yet another great Korean barbecue restaurant in Gwinnett County. For us, the quality of both the beef and banchan was outstanding and service was good. My only gripe is the portions could've been bigger for the combo we got. That said, they do offer all you can eat (AYCE), though you'll miss out on some of their best meats like the marinated galbi (my favorite) and prime rib. If you value good-quality beef, I recommend this place. Long version: Kang's Kitchen opened on April 22, 2023. Wall art in the back says the business was established in 1997. I asked an employee about this and he said this is a brand from South Korea. As far as I can tell, this is the only "Kang's Kitchen" in the US. There's also sister restaurant, Kang's Table (강스테이블), on Peachtree Industrial Blvd. Kang's Kitchen is located in Pleasant Hill Square, a shopping center that has changed a lot over the years. Gone are big-box stores like Staples, JCPenney, Old Navy, Toys"R"Us, and Barnes & Noble. In are Asian restaurants like Canton House, Kang's Kitchen, Chung Ki Wa Korean BBQ, and Gohan AYCE Buffet. As locals know, the Pleasant Hill Rd area is filled with all kinds of Korean restaurants, from barbecue to bossam (boiled pork). What sets Kang's Kitchen apart? I can think of a few nuances: 1. Meat quality. We had the Beef Combination for 4 ($179.99) and the quality was top notch. In terms of meat quality, I put Kang's Kitchen in the upper tier of Korean barbecue restaurants in metro Atlanta. 2. Banchan quality. The banchan (side dishes) was consistently superb, all around. The selection was on par with some of the best Korean restaurants around town. That said, Kang's Kitchen has one of the better banchan selections. For example, we got mul kimchi (water kimchi), which I don't recall seeing anywhere else. 3. Charcoal downdraft grills. Our server told us that there's only one other place in the area that has charcoal downdraft grills. Other places either have gas downdraft grills or grills with height-adjustable exhaust hoods. In recent years, newer Korean barbecue restaurants in metro Atlanta have done a better job at managing ventilation. Therefore, leaving a restaurant smelling like smoke isn't as much of an issue these days. As far as charcoal vs gas, charcoal is better. Korean barbecue cooked on charcoal grills tastes better because the flavor is smokier. The smoke permeates the meat. Also, there's an extra bit of crispiness and char on the outside of the meat thanks to the hotter-burning charcoal. 4. Space. The dining room is big, airy, and still relatively new and nice (furniture, etc. still in good condition). I think this is one of the bigger Korean barbecue restaurants in metro Atlanta in terms of number of grills (I guesstimate 50+) and seats. This place should handle multiple large groups easily. You can call and make reservations, but I don't think it's necessary unless you have a really large party. There were plenty of open tables for the duration of our visit, which was around 5-7pm this past Sunday. They brought out a highchair for the toddler and set up the banchan before calling us to our table. Here's the banchan we got: * Kimchi * Pickled red onion * Ssam mu - pickled radish wraps, beet variety (pink color) * Garden salad with romaine lettuce, carrots, red cabbage, and tomato * Gamja salad - Korean-style potato salad * Pa muchim - scallion salad with sauce made from gochugaru (Korean chili pepper) * Mul kimchi - with ingredients like daikon * Jangajji - soy sauce pickles (jalapeno, white onion, daikon) * Japchae - glass noodles * Gyeran-jjim - steamed eggs * Doenjang-jjigae - soybean paste stew * Corn cheese x4 ($5.99 each, extra) - we ordered these Here's what our combo came with, in order, all cooked at the table by our staff: * Brisket * Ribeye - Grill swapped from pan to mesh * Rib fingers (marinated and unmarinated) * Prime rib * Marinated galbi (short ribs) * Marinated cube steak To finish: * Chapagetti instant noodles (jajangmyeon) To drink: * Makgeolli ($14.99 per bottle) - Korean rice wine, Kook Soon Dang Draft Everything was fantastic. The kimchi was particularly delicious. We asked for seconds on the kimchi and other items and they restocked us with generous portions. The corn cheese had to be ordered separately, but was worth it. The gyeran-jjim, doenjang-jjigae, and corn cheese came out hot and fresh and were among the best I've had. As far as the beef, it was all terrific. I highly recommend both the marinated galbi and prime rib. The marbling, flavor, and texture were perfect. The other meats were excellent too and, generally, beat most of the same types of meats at other Korean barbecue restaurants around town. I especially enjoyed the rib fingers and cube steak. Condiments included galbi sauce with wasabi, ssamjang (spicy fermented soybean paste), and salt and pepper mix. We had to request sesame oil, which came in a squeeze bottle.

This is my go-to KBBQ spot for both quality and service. I've been here multiple times, and each visit has been consistently great. The meat quality is excellent, and the service is top-notch. I usually skip the AYCE option and order the combinations based on what I'm craving. Their beef ribs, brisket, and tartare are all fantastic. Every time we visit, Thomas warmly welcomes us and makes sure our orders arrive quickly and correctly. He's also amazing at grilling the meat and makes our experience even better with his friendly and attentive service. The interior is clean and spacious so it's a great spot for both small gatherings and larger groups.

Kang's Kitchen is a high quality KBBQ restaurant. The interior is pretty modern and there is a smoke-free ventilation system to reduce the smell of grilled meat on you at KBBQ. It is located in a plaza so there is definitely parking available at all times. In terms of service, the food came out quickly and my server was very attentive. Honestly, I thought they were almost too attentive at times because they grill the food for you so sometimes, they were just standing near the table, waiting for an opportunity to complete their job. But I get why they did it. We ordered the Combination for 2 (Beef & Pork) and Corn Cheese. The beef and pork combination came out on a beautiful platter! I got full quickly so I really only ate the beef brisket and pork belly as they were cooked first, but they were yummy. Especially the pork belly! It was the right kind of tender, meatiness, and fattiness. The Combination for 2 also came with a steamed egg which was delicious! It tasted like it had cheese in it, which made it more savory. I thought that the corn cheese was just alright, it seemed like there was mayonnaise in it? Or the cheese was very runny at the bottom of the dish, so it kind of turned me off. I did not have a chance to eat much of the sides because again I got full from the meat, but I had the kimchi which was nice. Overall, I left Kang's Kitchen feeling full and content!

With so many kbbq options in Duluth, this place is just as good as other places. It's not quite as popular as the OG spots, but service is more attentive here. I love the ventilation system here! I usually smell like kbbq afterwards, but the smell did not stick to my clothes or hair. They have good side dishes, but the steamed egg does have cheese.. just a heads up. Really clean interior with a wide range of options whether you want AYCE or Combination.

I stopped in for a super-late lunch...and luckily, they were still serving lunch special at around 2 pm. First of all, I was very impressed with the decor and ambiance. The place had a very elegant, yet cozy vibe...and I even liked the Korean elevator music (that is, piano lounge music). Anyway, I chose their Marinated Short Rib lunch special, which came with Tofu plus Beef or Seafood Stew. As expected from all Korean restaurants, on came a slew of complimentary sides...and I especially loved how Japchae was included here! The only side that I couldn't eat was their regular Kimchi (not fully seasoned...thus very sour tasting)...however, they had these tasty squared Kimchi, so not a problem. The lunch plate had a lot of stuff on it. It even included a bread roll (??), which I found very random. I liked all the other sides that came with it...but here's the thing that just wasn't right. The main attraction of the dish, the Short Rib, was smothered down with veggies (why so much Onions??)...so I could barely see it! Huh?? I thought the presentation was a bit ruined...since the main staple was nearly hidden. I guess I would have wanted more short rib...versus all the random veggies on this plate. As for the short rib itself, it wasn't too tender...nor as marinated as I had anticipated. The lunch plate was good, but just not as great as I wanted it to be. Too much veggies and sides...not enough quality meat...and again, the presentation was just odd (see picture!) However, the Tofu-Seafood Stew was really good...and so was all the complimentary sides (minus the sour Kimchi). Service was really good. Since I came during the off hours, I didn't see any waiters...just the server and the host/manager/owner (??). Still, my foods were delivered super-quickly, and I was well attended to throughout my meal. Overall, I enjoyed checking out this relatively shiny, new restaurant...and I wouldn't mind returning to try their KBBQ. Not sure if I'd ever choose their veggie-heavy lunch platters though.

It seems I have the unpopular opinion of Kang's Kitchen, but I wasn't very impressed on my visit here. My brother was in town visiting so I told him about this high quality KBBQ place I had been hearing about, so we went to try it before I had to go to work one night. Upon arrival, I had great first impressions. Very clean, spacious restaurant, and not crowded at all. It doesn't smell smoky in here nor does it make you smell smoky. The tables are small so our group was split into 2 side by side tables for 7 people. The meat quality does look good, but after eating, I can't say I notice that it tastes much different than another KBBQ place in Duluth. The menu had various options, but I didn't get to try many of the meats. I actually only got to try 4 different kinds which brings me to my biggest complaint of Kang's. They do all the cooking for you, and it's actually quite slow. They don't allow you to order your meats ahead of time. I knew I only had an hour to eat because I needed to leave early for work, so my family tried to prioritize giving me more meat first when we realized they wouldn't let us order our next meats until the current one on the grill FINISHED cooking. They change our the grill in between every meat, which is nice because then you're not eating burnt meat BUT it's a flaw because it slows everything down as you're waiting for the grill change and for the new plate to warm up to cook the next meat. They strategically don't even bring you your next plate of meat after you order either but place it on a different table so you can't just add the meat to the grill yourself when you're ready for more. That being said, it takes a decent amount of time in between orders with waiting for the meat to be prepped, changing out the grill plate, letting it warm up, THEN actually cooking the meat. If you have time to kill and want to socialize, sure why not? But you'll also get full fast with all that wait time and not get to eat much. I found myself having to eat sides like egg, 2 bowls of rice, and a soup to fill myself up because I just didn't get enough meat to eat before I had to go. The portions they give you at once also isn't a lot so it's disappointing having to keep waiting for more. But wait time aside, it was a good meal. I just don't think I can justify it for the price that they charge. I can't remember exactly but I believe it was over $50 per person. I'll stick to one of my other usual places instead, but I'm glad I at least gave Kang's a shot.

One of the highest quality KBBQ spots I've tried in Duluth! I've always gotten the beef combo here, which is really delicious and price is on par with other kbbq AYCE spots in Duluth now. I have friends who've tried the beef/pork combo and say the quality increase is definitely noticeable from nearby AYCE spots like EM Bop. The interior is spacious and clean and includes a full bar. I really like that the combos include the option of ramen, bibimbap, or chapagetti style noodles at the end of the meal. They do also have AYCE, but I get almost as full as I usually do at AYCE but with better quality meat. Also, I think their naengmyun is super yummy and they sell some other non-BBQ dishes.

Excellent Korean barbecue restaurant in Duluth. With a lot of kbbq restaurants currently raising prices all over for mediocre meat, Kangs barbecue sets the bar for quality meat for the price you pay. There is no unlimited option at this restaurant instead, you have portioned sets for a party of two or four. The menu also includes different cuts of meat that you can order from as well. We got the beef/pork set for two which came with a side of Korean soybean soup, steamed egg, side dishes and your choice of kimchi fried rice, ramyun or chappagetti (korean instant black bean noodles). For $99 the quality is very good and the food is very delicious. Service was excellent and the restaurant itself is extremely spacious. Makes you feel like you're dining at a high end restaurant. Definitely will be back and try the other set menus.

Newer kbbq spot that has built-in ventilation for the smoke inside the table itself instead of it being above it. The meat quality is on par with the other kbbq spots nearby and the selection is about the same. Good number of side dishes as well. Price wise is about the same I would say too especially for the combos. They do offer a somewhat affordable steak and lobster comba which I didn't get the chance to try out as I went for the all beef combo for 2 instead was was pretty good in my opinion. Good service as well and the griller does a great job of attending to you and also changing out the grills for specific types of meat. Definitely worth checking out for all you kbbq lovers out there.

Oh my dear David. You are the true gateway to the best Korean BBQ in the suburbs! This is our second time here and we had no sickness the first go round. My wife has celiac disease and I have Severe gluten intolerance. David answered the phone the first time around, and then served us last time. Today he also saw us, and took it upon himself to see us and service. There are a couple of the sides we cannot have like the noodles, they look like rice noodles, but are marinated in soy sauce. All the kimchi was amazing and we did not do the egg soufflé because they use a little bit of soy sauce and put cheese That's OK because the ribeye we got along with the Brisket, which is already sliced thin, and it was perfect. We called a couple other places around the area since there are so many Korean barbecue places, but nobody could answer the questions properly and un marinated meat selection was so much better here. This place is amazing come here you will love it.

Korean BBQ itch scratched from the inside out! The food just kept coming! We walked in at 6pm on a Tuesday and were sat immediately. They have smaller tables as well as large party seating in their big open, beautiful space. They also have free parking and a large open space and bar to sit at if you should so desire. The moment we sat down our table was laden with an assortment of soups, sauces, spices and other small plates to pair with our meats such as kimchi, eggs, shredded green onions etc. We also had a personal vase filled with water to pour freely into our cups. We did the unlimited which is $50 per person, but you get all of the meats in any order that you want them. Honorable metion, YOU CANNOT TAKE ANYTHING TOGO when you order unlimited... STUFFED is an understatement. I think I had to go pray, because the level of food consumed was nothing short of gluttonous. Each time a meat selection came out, our waiter was there to cook them over the flame. Even though I was too greedy to wait and would sneak a good medium temp piece off with my chopsticks, they were cooking the meat and putting it aside on a plate for us to take when it was ready and safe to eat :). The reason they are 4* and not 5* is because of the lack of explanation for what was laid out before us on the table. I had no idea what I was eating sometimes lol. But I tried everything! I also have no allergies so it really didn't bother me, but I think I annoyed the server asking what each thing was. lol like Bruh I am not Korean! You come to a soul food restaurant and I GOT YOU! lol! The server was also a little dry. He did his job though with as little interaction as possible. I feel like if you are going to be reaching over me and in my space 60% of the meal at least be a little sociable sheesh. Some people might actually prefer the be seen and not heard approach. But, everyone around us was smiling and laughing (Shrugs). At the end of the day. I'd go back and reccomend you try it. (Order the meats that are marinated or spicy is my suggestion). It seemed unfair to have this place next door to another Korean BBQ place lol just saying.

Their quality of meat has been severely downgraded since they opened. The only time you can get decent quality of meat is when you order the beef combo. When ordering a la cart or doing the all you can eat, then the meat is very tough and chewy.

Lots of space, they cook everything for you. The portion/serving sizes for the combination sets seemed small. For 5 people we got the combination set for 4 and added on a brisket, still left not completely full. The side dishes were good, lots of kimchi options including white kimchi, fresh traditional kimchi, water kimchi. All the combos come with your choice of spicy radish bibimbap, spicy radish chapaghetti, or spicy radish ramen after the meat. We got the bibimbap, not bad! Combination set for 4 (beef & pork, $159.99): marinated galbi (short rib), beef brisket, rib finger, marinated rib finger, pork belly, pork neck, marinated pork neck. Personally, the beef was much better than the pork. Not sure what it was, but even the regular pork belly was a bit different - wasn't crisping up. The soybean soup it came with was solid, but there was some spice in the steamed egg that wasn't particularly right for my palette. Not sure what it was. Glad I finally got to try this place. Would opt for the beef more than the pork

Kang's! You have my heart now. I was craving Korean BBQ, and randomly found this place on Yelp. It's not always easy to find a Korean BBQ that includes chicken on the menu since I don't eat red meat. I called the restaurant beforehand to make sure they have chicken, and off we headed once it was verified. This place is sooo cute! It's super clean inside and the service we had was fantastic. The sides were all super good, in face I ate two kimchi and three japchae. I also polished off my spicy chicken. The chicken was not super spicy but had really good flavor. My boyfriend got the beef brisket which he also said was marinated well and tasted great. I had no fatty pieces in my chicken, and it was cooked to perfection, not dry at all! You can also choose from other meats, ribeye, short rib, pork belly, rib finger, lobster, shrimp, spicy squid, bulgogi. They even have beef tartare. Lunch or dinner they've got you covered. You can get AYCE or you can get one meat selection and we opted for the latter which was plenty of food for the both of us. I felt the prices for one meat selection were pretty on par for a Korean BBQ. The ambience, service, and food were all on point. Great for a date night and great for large groups. I definitely plan on heading back here soon. Hope I can spread the word so they can continue to thrive.

I tried kangs whilst passing through Duluth. I thought the customer service was Superb. Really 10/10. The food was good. I tried lunch, thus it wasn't the BBQ, I feel the BBQ would have been even more of a hit considering the cuts. I also think it's a great value for your money. For food I ordered the lunch Steak. Came with a ton of sides, & Banchan. The potatoe salad was really good. I'd definitely return & try the BBQ. The ambiance was nice, chilled, & spacious.

Pros: Kang's Kitchen is a really nice spot to enjoy KBBQ if you're looking for a modern space with a quieter atmosphere. We enjoyed that we could have a conversation here without raising our voices and it makes for a great dinner date. The inside is very well-kept and the style is modern. They make sure you're taken care of by seating you immediately and one person is always available to answer questions or accommodate your requests. Cons: I will concur with other reviewers that they strongly discourage you from choosing the AYCE option, and that bothered me. If you have an option on the menu, it should be available and you shouldn't make suggestions for something else. The customer is always right, no? The experience we had trying to do AYCE and getting turned down (!) is the only reason I removed one star. For anyone not from the area, most KBBQ places here will cook for you (not DIY) so just keep that in mind for gratuity. We were surprised to find that someone stood there and cooked our meat for us, but it was a nice change! Overall I would return, if they would allow us to do AYCE as we requested.

We wanted to try a different korean bbq restaurant beside 678 and EMbop, Kang's kitchen is spacious and has fun decorations. They also have a full bar for the alcoholic lover. Now the meat quality didn't seem like it was better than 678. I still prefer 678 for the meat quality. The banchans were comparable to k-factory. They didn't have the special dipping sauce - kang gun jang - like at 678. They do have charcoal grill here. But they will light the fire at the table so you have to wait a lil bit before cooking. The cent is right above the grill so you won't smell like bbq after you leave. When the charcoal runs low, they dont have someone to bring hot charcoal to refill. But instead we have to pause everything and they have to re-light the fire for us which is very inconvenient. This is another reason I like 678 better. Service wise, they are really good at making sure your table has everything you asked for.

Good KBBQ at a fairly new restaurant off of Pleasant Hill Rd that has a cool vibe. Same business partners from 678 and K Factory. We ordered beef & pork combo for two. Very good quality meat, great service, and tasty side dishes especially the kimchi. Alan, our server, did a great job grilling the meat to perfection. Service includes steamed egg, soybean paste stew, and kimchi fried rice.

I really enjoyed the AYCE at Kang's kitchen. I felt the sides were top notch for AYCE in particular really enjoyed the japchae and steamed egg. The japchae had a nice black pepper touch and was so bouncy. The steamed had a nice blend of cheese and it was so fluffy ahhh so delectable. The meats were great, I enjoyed the brisket, prime short rib and rib fingers the most. The service was top notch and all of the meats came out grilled perfectly with the lump charcoal. The server informed me the prime short rib is the same in the set menu as the AYCE which is nice to know as most know there is normally a slight quality difference between set and AYCE. I really want to give this place 5 stars but I kept hitting my knees on the table grill component which is surprising cause I'm normal height 5'8" and short legs. I also leaned back to stretch (long day of hiking) and hit the back of my head on the booth sharp corner. Other than that it's a great AYCE option that's a tad bit pricier than the others $50 but a noticeable difference in meat and side qualities.

A group of us wanted to try out this place since we drove past it everyday. I love that it had ample parking and the inside was huge, nice, and CLEAN. Our server was Brian and he was excellent! He's super friendly and attentive. We got the platter for 4 people although we had 5 in our party and it was perfect. Everything was delicious! I was very pleased and have to say this is one of my favorite Korean BBQ thus far. Highly recommend!!!

Very nice ambiance and fancy inside. there's a really nice bar but i didn't see anyone sitting there as everyone was doing kbbp. We opted for the combo for 4 but the 3 of us finished it with no problem. At the price point of $160 for the 4 person combo, it was quite pricey. I would suggest the $50 AYCE option instead. Service was very not great, our server was not attentive and had a bit of attitude...

Overrated. Very disappointed with my experience after hearing good things about this place. In terms of food quality and flavor it was no different than other kbbq places. We ordered the beef combo for 4 for $179 which included 2 steamed eggs and soup and kimchi fried rice or ramen at the end of the meal. The portions were small and definitely not enough for our party of 4. The side dishes were basic: salad, kimchi, radish, potato salad. What ruined the experience was the waitress who didn't check on us, not even once. When we asked her for refills or ordered more food she was extremely irritated. She shoved more plates on top of all the empty plates. Our table was overflowing with dirty dishes and she clearly saw it but didn't bother to clear any of it. We ended up stacking the dishes at the end of the table thinking it would be easier for servers to take it. No server stoped to take the stacks. Throughout the rest of the meal we had to flag other servers down to get service. I definitely won't be recommending this place.

Definitely pricier than most Kbbqs in the area, and costs more than their sister restaurants (678, 770, K Factory.) The space itself is huge and is bigger than any of their other restaurants. Meat quality is great, and service has been somewhat consistent always. If you have a large group (6 of more) call for a reservation. They get pretty busy on the weekends, but have noticed the crowds kind of dying down. Maybe because the price? Who knows. There's plenty of parking and feels like there's always space for 4 or less. We usually do a beef/pork combo for $99.99 which comes with a few cuts of beef and 1 serving of pork belly +soup, egg, and a ramen/bibimbap/or jjapaghetti. The last time I ate here, the server was not attentive with grilling the beef/pork. She shared the brisket and pork together which I've never seen but that is the only downfall from many other visits.

I'd give this place 10 stars if I could. Came here from Nashville while visiting Atlanta with family and it was the highlight of our trip. The interior is incredibly clean and welcoming. Wasn't too crowded when we came for lunch. They had a very generous selection of Korean appetizers, including salad, potato mash, radish, and jap chae. We got the 2-person beef combo which was enough for 3 people. It came with many (I think around 5?) kinds of beef which are cooked in front of you. The service was excellent, and we felt incredibly taken care of. We also tried a side of their Tteokbokki (spicy rice cake) which was nice and chewy. All in one of the best meals I've had in town.

This place is solid! The pictures are enough said! Great high quality and fresh meat. The combo set was shared between the four of us and it was filling ! The meats were fresh tasting and the cuts included in the set was worth it. The presentation of the food and the place itself was amazing. Great service as well. The server kept refilling the side dishes for us as well. There also isn't the typical bbq smell on your clothes and hair after you leave this place. Even though this place is still fairly new, I think it might beat out the og spots. The cold noodles here were good as well!

During Atlanta visit found this gem. Easily one of my favorites now. Absolutely amazing high quality cuts of meat, banchan was very authentic and not to mention that unlike most KBBQ they use charcoal. Had the beef tartare, all beef combo and spicy cold noodles. Everything including sides and the choice of ramen or fried rice at the end of your meal was exceptional. Our server was great and cooked the meal to perfection.

I wanted to check out Kang's since I love trying new kbbq spots. It's located in the old toys r us shopping center. I was surprised at how modern and sleek the interior was. I loved it! We came around 7:15pm on a Friday night, and the wait time was about 30-40 mins. The hostess was super sweet and friendly. It was really crowded inside, so we went outside and opened the gate to the front outdoor seating area. Well apparently we weren't allowed there bc the owner or manager sent their child to tell us we couldn't sit there...like a kid of maybe 10-13 years old came out and told us to not sit there and then proceeded to stand around there to guard us from going back in. So odd lol. So note to everyone, don't sit there haha. We opted for the beef and pork combo for 2-3 since we had a group of 3. Our waitress tried to get us to order the combo that served 4-5 people. We stuck with our decision. Our waitress did mention that the combo was only enough to feed 2 girls...lol. It felt like upselling to me. It was plenty of food for us. We didn't finish all of the meat, and at the end you get to choose between bibimbap, ramen or chapagetti. I do get where the waitress is coming from about not being enough meat if we three were super hungry, but I felt like the amount of food was perfect. The meats here are definitely tasty. All of their marinated items were so good! The side dishes and soybean stew were really good as well. I didn't really like the salad much. Overall this is definitely one of the better kbbqs in Georgia, but 9292 is still my favorite bc of their side dish variety.

We came here on a weekday for the unlimited lunch option. Service was fast and attentive. We ordered the brisket, cubed beef, and the pork belly. The cubed beef was okay. The brisket and pork belly was great. The quality is a lot better than other korean BBQ places esp for the AYCE. I liked the interior. It was bright, clean, open and the vents work wonderfully. We didn't smell like BBQ afterwards which is a win! It's a bit pricey but that's expected with the quality of meat and banchan.

DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU ARE A PARTY OF ONE. THEY WILL NOT LET YOU EAT. As soon as they see that you're alone they get this look on their face like you're homeless. FUCK THIS PLACE. I took a 30 min Uber to get here as a tourist in ATL and I so REGRET IT. They were so condescending and rude at the door. It was basically a shouting match. As soon as I get to the front door this guy starts barking orders at me and yelling that I can't order a bibimnaengmyon (spicy cold buckwheat noodle) and yukhwae (raw beef carpaccio). "General Kim" gives me this bOOLsheeit schpeel about how "YOU HAVE TO ORDER ENOUGH FOR TWO PEOPLE BECAUSE WE ARE BBQ RESTAURANT!!! AND WE CANNOT MAKE A MONEY IF YOU DON'T A ORDER A MINIMUM OF A TWO BBQ DISHES OKAY??!" ....even though I can't possibly eat that much. SO basically... You can't order side dishes. FINE. I GET IT. But...Yukhwae is not a fucking side dish. It's a main course. And then on top of that I'm ordering ANOTHER full priced entree and you're telling me that I have to order MORE??!!!!! Unbelievable. I walked out and went 13ft to their competition next door (Chung Ki Wa) and was greeted respectfully. I sat down and offered EXACTLY what krappy-kang's wouldn't allow me to do.

Kang's Kitchen is a new Korean BBQ that opened a few doors down from the old Staples. We had heard some good things about the place from some acquaintances. Last weekend we decided to give it a try. On the outside it looks like a typical storefront. They do have a small patio with a large open air entrance by one of the bars. The decor and layout are very nice. We were seated almost immediately at 7 PM on a Friday. One thing that makes Kang's kitchen different Korean BBQ places is an abundance of booths with bench seating instead of the typical table and chair set up. All the booths on the row we were seated in had electrical outlets at each table. Great for charging your phone or powering a laptop or tablet during a business lunch. There were also regular tables that you would expect to see at a restaurant of this type. We noticed that there were many small parties and it seemed like the section of the restaurant they were seated in was better suited for parties of less than four compared to other parts where there were seats for six. There were also a few tables in a bullpen arrangement for very large parties to have a semi private dining experience. The vibe was very subdued and casual. Unlike places that cater to the young late-night crowd they did not have blasting music or tons of screens playing KPOP. You get the impression that this is a restaurant that has a bar, not a drinking place that happens to have food. The menu has all the typical items. We decided to go for the AYCE so we could have a variety of items. The servers informed us that we should keep ordering because when it's busy the kitchen might take longer than normal. We found that the wait times between ordering and delivery to the table were less than five minutes. That was not an unusually long wait. In fact it was probably faster than some of the more popular places when they get busy. When the brisket arrived we were impressed with the thickness of the cut. They had also sprinkled parsley or cilantro over the beef to give it color. That was a culinary school detail one would not expect from a high-volume restaurant where the detail would not last long before the food is put on the grill. The garnish did not change the flavor of the dish. The cuts were high-quality and very enjoyable. We tried the regular cut pork belly and found that they had scored the meat. That will help it cook faster but we would not expect the kitchen to expend the time needed for details when the restaurant is full of hungry customers. The thin sliced pork belly was just as impressive as the brisket. The real surprise came from the spicy pork belly. Unlike other places where it has been soaked in a marinade and was likely prepackaged in the marinade by the food service company, this was the thin sliced pork belly with a drizzle of spicy sauce over the top. The color also looks different than the marinade used at other restaurants or the stuff that you buy at super H Mart. Instead of a light orange the sauce was a deep red. At worst it could be a different kind of prepackaged sauce or at best it could be something prepared in the kitchen from gochujang paste. Either way it was so much better than the spicy pork belly we have ordered at other places. Because the sauce was a light coating it did not make the meat soggy, and it cooked down into a nice crispy and spicy crust. We asked the server about the cuts, and we were informed that they don't order food service precut meat, but slice everything in-house. That was good to know, and it raises the bar for the other local places that have been here for years. We would definitely come here again. The wait was reasonable, but this is also a new restaurant and that may change over time. 9292 was our favorite place but it has become so trendy that the wait time is difficult to plan around and since the pandemic ended many late-night places close early (midnight or earlier). Kang's Kitchen closes early too. Given the choice between a loud trendy place or a quiet place where you do not feel rushed, Kang's Kitchen is a winner. If we were starting at midnight then we would have to go to Em Bop or one of the other remaining late-night places. Our group agreed that Kang's Kitchen is our new regular place. We're sure you'll love it too.

This place is very upscale when you first walk in. The lights are dim but the interior colors, black and grey, adds a nice touch to it. Our server was very attentive and friendly, he made sure we had everything we needed. There was a lot of banchan, side dishes, which included white radish, kimchi, potato salad, a bowl of kimchi soup, japchae, and salad. There's a few that I might be missing, but there was a lot. We got all you can eat and it was $49.99 per person. The meats were very juicy and buttery; the brisket just melts in your mouth and the marinated finger beef, along with the marinated cube steaks, were well marinated and full of flavor. Their egg soufflé either had cheese or butter on top that gave it a soft touch. Definitely give this place a try, you won't regret it!

Food and service is really good. But the manager really needs to be better about pouring his wine. This is absolutely under poured.... For a $10 glass per glass, this is not right.

This was our first time eating here and my initial impression was that this restaurant is very nice and clean! The restaurant is very spacious and the selection of meats and sides were varied and fresh. I loved the smokeless charcoal grills. To me, charcoal is the only way to enjoy KBBQ. Service was excellent too! We will definitely be back.

Discovered this amazing restaurant during a trip to Atlanta. I'm very picky about my Korean BBQ and this place delivered. Every single Banchan and dish tasted amazing and was cooked perfectly. Usually there is one dish or side dish that doesn't taste quite right with Korean BBQ, but this restaurant was perfect. The meat was tender and tasted remarkable. The inside of the restaurant had a nice modern feel. Highly recommend!

Typically AYCE KBBQ with marked up prices. Service was slow and the meat was not premium at all. It's definitely not bang for the buck so if you want some less expensive and same quality meat I would go somewhere else.

This place is really good. High quality meats and excellent services. The ban Chan is different from other places and really tasty too. Just high quality all around. Expensive to match the quality . Will be back.
