KPOP BBQ AND BAR

I come here often, but today was the best service I have ever received. Many times, the waiters just rush and don't help you out. Today, my friend and I had the pleasure to be served by a young man named Justin. He was attentive, friendly, and helpful. If you go to eat here, definitely ask for Justin. My experience today was superior and I will definitely be coming back. Especially if they keep Justin.

I'm dramatically diverging from the vast majority of reviewers. The food is not that authenticity tasty. The near $40 per person set price is ridiculous. There are so many ways better Korean options within a mile of this place. Where is the authentic Korean taste? Absent for sure. I can name 4 places blocks away that smoke this spot. I heard about this place and wanted to give it a try and am glad I have permanently marked it off my list. Do yourself a favor and explore the many other Korean options in the immediate area. The food there will be better. I guess if you have bought completely into the "pop" aspect, no pun intended, you might enjoy the place. I also suppose if you are not familiar with true Korean food, you might like the all you can eat component. Meh. It's just Meh! Please take the time to replace your sickening water cups. The edges appear chewed and disgusting 🫣.

Waste of my time, gaslit, and lied to. We came in around 10:45. Google maps says they close at 12, and we confirmed on the door before walking in. We were sat around 10:55 and ordered our meats, sides, and appetizer. The server did not note our order down and had to come back and ask what we ordered a few minutes later. I went to the bathroom and the toilet was just broken. The handle just spun around and around. Had to use the mens room. We had to remind the server about our side dishes (corn, egg, and rice cake) after he only came out with the meat. When we asked about rice, the server said they were out but would check with the manager. We had to remind him a 2nd time to check, and when he came back, he said, "My manager refuses to make more." it was around 11:07 when this occurred. Around 11:27, we wanted to order more meat only to find out they closed in 3 minutes. The server told us that. I pointed out that the door said 12 and that google Maps said 12. Server said he would get the manager. When he arrived, he began to explain how all restaurants close 30 minutes before what is listed on the door and how there is a thing called last call. I pointed out that we were not informed when the last call was or that there was one. Then he told us that the server had sat us at 10:30 and I said no, we weren't. We sat around 11. He kinda sputtered, not knowing what to say and being caught in a lie twice. I told him that I should have been informed that there was going to be a last call at 11:30 so I could have eaten somewhere else. He said he would give us a 20% discount, but then the check came it was only an 8%. Additionally, the bowl that the egg souffle came in was very cracked and seemed like a health and safety issue. Left still hungry and upset Even though the picture of the door is blurry, you can still definitely see that it says 12.

This place was awesome. They have TONS of delicious side dishes, plenty of meat varieties, and everything tasted so fresh. Our server Cody was extremely attentive, professional, and efficient. The atmosphere was fun and bright. I’ll definitely be returning. Highly recommend!

I have never been to a Korean bbq spot where one can only order two meats at a time. Our serve would occasionally swing by and cook stuff or disappear for awhile so we weren’t sure if we were supposed to cook it or wait for him half the time. He would only put one kind of meat in the stove at a time. Only thing I liked was the beef bugolgi. It looked a bit dead for a Friday night. It took them forever to bring soju. The service was pretty bad for a slow night.

Returned here after a year by myself because I happened to be around the area! Amazing customer service by Cody and the food was amazing. Brisket was not too fatty, and the sides were delivious. Would definitely recommend to everyone who's looking to have a great time in KBBQ in Doraville!

Justin and Sunny were incredible at taking care of us! It was our first time and we really appreciated the fun conversations and food recommendations they gave us. 10/10 recommend dining with them!

Server attitude was very bad, especially the Asian guy wearing glasses. When we asked to swapped our table, that server doesn’t look happy about opening a new table and threw the new plates and cutlery on the new table. What a lousy service attitude. Also, the food is not delicious. The corn cheese and steamed egg does not taste good at all. Honestly speaking, really wonder why such dining place is still around. Won’t be coming back here again for sure since there are better options for Korean BBQ in Duluth!

: Lunch until 3pm is $23. Dinner: $38 (10 sides and 8 appetizers) : Unicorn Poop and Pink Panther was refreshing and delicious. : Galbi ribs, Kpop steak, egg soufflé, dumplings, ramen, and Cajun shrimp was yummy! : Difficult Stomach was Happy and Sastified Attention KPop Lover, you need to visit KPop Korean BBQ. This place was awesome, grilled your meat while listening to all your favorite KPop Music. They have TONS of delicious side dishes, plenty of meat varieties, and everything tasted very fresh. Our server Cody was extremely attentive, professional, and efficient. The atmosphere was fun and bright. I'll definitely be returning. Highly recommend!

MEAT SWEATS HEAVEN at Kpop BBQ | there aren't as many kbbq options in Doraville as there are in Duluth, so we were excited to see this spot open up close to home. Located in the same plaza as LanZhou Ramen and Bo Bo Garden, Kpop is another option in the area for Korean BBQ that this stretch of Buford Highway was lacking. We went during their soft opening so there was a 20% discount on their AYCE dinner pricing of $30. The meat selection was pretty standard, with tons of variations of the same meats with different marinades. The biggest steal is definitely the marinated galbi (with bone) which is only available during dinner. There are quite a few of the better meat options that are only available during dinner, which makes sense since the lunch price is under $20. I do appreciate the unlimited hot appetizers like the Korean fried chicken, spicy rice cakes and the cheesy egg soufflé. If you're craving kbbq and not wanting to ride up 85 to some of the more authentic kbbq options in Duluth, Kpop is a solid choice.

I have always enjoyed the Korean "cook yourself" BBQ type of meal, and there are a few choices in the Atlanta area. Historically, I have gone to a different chain restaurant and have always enjoyed their offerings. I decided to try Kpop because I was in the area and I have to say that this is my new favorite! Their appetizer, side dishes, and meat offerings are superior to some of the other restaurants in Atlanta and the atmosphere and service was top-notch. I absolutely will be back!

I originally came out to the area to try a different restaurant, but as luck would have it, plans changed, and we ended up here. I had never tried Korean BBQ before, but I always wanted to do it, so what better time than now! Ambiance/Vibe It's very cute in here. Nicely decorated. Clean. Modern esthetic. Lots of TVs and unlimited K Pop songs. I have some new gems added to my playlist. Ayeee 5/5 Service The service was great. Attentive and quick, once we got seated. No complaints. 5/5 Food Listen here, that Galbi Shortrib... it is absolutely disrespectful how good it is!!! Why would they do thaaaaat!! We also tried the Smoked Pork Belly (it was good but on the fatty side), Beef Brisket (this was my least favorite, it's not marinated ), Beef Bugoloi, Steak, Garlic Calamari, and fried chicken and Chicken Dumplings as appetizers. 4/5 Drinks There is a FULL bar, and they have what appears to be monthly specials. I opted to only have beer this go round, but the options looked awesome. They even have mocktails (if that's your thing). ?/5 Final Verdict 5/5 Lord Wellington Approved. If you live ITP, like myself, this might feel like it's a bit out of the way, but I'd suggest you take a chance. At $38 for ALL you can eat (including appetizers), and with drink options that avg $8 - $15, it's almost a no-brainer. Go on, honey, take a chance!

This all-you-can-eat kbbq spot serves up a delicious selection of premium meats, flavorful appetizers, and endless sides. My favorites were the tender galbi short ribs, Cajun shrimp, and corn cheese--they're a must-try! The lively atmosphere, with K-pop music playing in the background, made it a fun place to hang out with friends. Whether it's a birthday celebration or a casual night out, you'll leave full and satisfied.

I can't speak to the food as we stopped in to have a drink while we waited for dinner at a different restaurant. There was a a big variety and we all tried something new. They didn't have any bar seating so we had to get a table which seemed to be not something they typically do but they seated us anyway as they weren't busy and we really nice about it. We did not eat and they did not charge us for the table. I would go bakc to try the food for sure and everything smelled great. It is in a bit of a rough strip-mall fair warning. Like really rough.

The service here is excellent, I didn't have to cook my own food. My server comes by to grill the meats and always there when I need refills on my sides. The sides are also excellent, fresh and delicious. The vibe here is like the name of the restaurant, KPOP vibe. The place is clean and the food is delicious.

The service here is impeccable. We came at 2:58pm, asked for and was given the lunch special (that ends at 3pm), and were seated immediately with drinks and sides/sauces coming 15 seconds after we were seated. I'd ask for extra sides like lettuce or kimchi, and they would come in 5 seconds. They allow requests of 2 proteins at a time. A smart business decision. The first two servings of protein are about twice as big as the consequent requests for proteins. I asked for pork belly as the 4th protein request and they literally gave me 2 half-slices of pork belly. As for the food, it ranges from good to mid. The meat itself seemed not that fresh. The marinade and sauces hide a lot of it, though, and I came in pretty ravenous, so I didn't mind it too much. I would skip the corn cheese (corn was way too chewy, signaling it was old) and Korean fried chicken (they were just chicken nuggets, not crispy at all). The 4 proteins we ordered were spicy beef bulgogi, beef brisket, spicy chicken, and Hawaiian pork belly. Brisket didn't look too fresh when they brought it out, and see the above comment about pork belly. The other two tasted great though, no complaints. We also ordered the virgin strawberry delight and virgin trop pop mocktails. Definitely skip those unless you love drinking sugar water. They were way too sweet and artificial-tasting. It's disappointing because the concept of mocktails at a kbbq place excited me, but I guess I shouldn't have had my expectations so high? Bottom line: this place just excels at service. I've never had more attentive service at a kbbq restaurant. The price is also a ridiculously good deal for the lunch special AYCE. Even when we were done eating and said we didn't want any more protein, the server still came by and asked if we needed anything else like every 5 minutes. And in between, the server kept passing by and looked over at us when he was going to serve other tables, just to make sure we were still fine. We left in 45 minutes. We just inhaled food and left. Would experience it again.

First visit here. Had a great meal. Superb service- Kevin and Dee were so attentive, our orders came in at lightning speed. Food were so good from banchan, to appetizers and meat. As busy as it was during our visit, cleanliness was maintained throughout. Nice casual ambiance. Will definitely come back

We came here on Thursday afternoon for lunch. AYCE Lunch is $20 that includes all sides, meats and even appetizers. My favorite appetizer was cheese corn and rice cakes. The only thing is they don't serve all the meats during the lunch time, but honestly for that price I'm ok with that. My favorite was Hawaiian pork belly and beef bulgogi. All the sides were yummy and they bring you as much as you want. I also liked the fact that our server was very hands on an cooked our meat for us. Make sure to fine hungry!

Delicious food, amazing service, and great ambience. This is an especially great place to check out with any friends who are new to KBBQ. The servers all work as a team and are very knowledgeable. They actually cook and cut up the meat for you so that everything is cooked well, nothing is burnt, and you don't have to worry about anything. The ban chan and side dishes selection were not huge nor the best, but we focused more on the meat anyway. My favorite was the galbi. There are more meat options for dinner than for the lunch menu. I would definitely visit again!

This place caters to a different audience than other kbbq places. It's not for Koreans or for people who frequent KBBQ joints for the enjoyment of the meat. The best part about this place is the ambience - has a modern bar feel where you could enjoy your food with drinks, including cocktails and beer. The service is also quick. Mind you, it was less crowded but they were all swift in getting our requested meats and asking what we wanted next. I was most disappointed with the food. We ordered the beef brisket, pork belly, and ribeye first (all unmarinated). The first bite got me so mad. They all smelled off like it was old meat and also tasted that way. I couldn't finish the pork belly bc it almost tasted rotten. Even my husband who says meat is just meat was sorely disappointed. I thought maybe the marinated meat may be better so we tried the galbi. Nope. The marinade was off (idk it tasted weird...didn't taste like galbi) We barely finished that. The corn cheese wasn't cheesy- the corn itself didn't have the plumpness, they were almost dried up? - and the egg soufflé was burnt and tasted burnt. This was the first time I left a kbbq place hungry. We decided to stop eating more meat bc it wasn't worth it. My husband says I'm never allowed to pick kbbq places ever again. It was that bad. :(

I think the best part about this place is the service. They are fast & you don't have to tell them twice. We also got seated pretty fast. The quality of food here was just okay. All of the marinades were a little on the sweeter side for me. Even the side dishes were a little on the sweeter side.

I was excited to try KPop BBQ and Bar's new ITP location on Buford Highway in Doraville. My friends and I thought this place was OK. It's not bad, but if you're accustomed to the great Korean barbecue restaurants primarily in Gwinnett, then you probably won't be too impressed with KPop. That said, I still enjoyed my meal here. Currently, KPop has two other locations in the outer metro Atlanta suburbs, Woodstock and McDonough. What may work in those cities may not work as well in Doraville where there's a bit more competition. Miss Gogi and E-Gyu Revolving Sushi & BBQ are a couple "modern" Korean barbecue options in the vicinity. And there are also old-school Korean restaurants, such as Han Il Kwan, Hae Woon Dae, and Dong Neh Bang Neh, that also offer Korean barbecue. However, those restaurants are more traditional, cut in a different mold (no frills), and not as fun, inviting, nor hip. That's the appeal of KPop. KPop has the same owner as Thrill Korean Steak and Bar in Sandy Springs. As I wrote in my review for Thrill - coincidentally, almost one year ago to the day - I can't recommend KPop and would instead suggest some of the more tried-and-true Korean barbecue restaurants in Duluth/Suwanee, the aforementioned Miss Gogi, Park 27 in Midtown, and D92 in Decatur. If this restaurant was located in a smaller city or metro, I'd probably bump it up a star. It's just that in metro Atlanta, the standard for good Korean barbecue is higher. I do think KPop is a welcome addition to the BuHi dining scene. It's presently the only Korean-barbecue-exclusive restaurant that's actually *on* Buford Highway. The business opened on July 22, 2022 in Pinetree Plaza. Same shopping center as Bo Bo Garden, LanZhou Ramen, ICENY, and Mango Mango. KPop occupies the once years-long vacant space previously occupied by Ausen Trading in the late 2010s. I love the concept of KPop BBQ and Bar. Unlimited, all-you-can-eat ("AYCE") Korean barbecue in a contemporary setting with downdraft gas grills (so you don't leave the restaurant smelling like cooked meat) and servers that cook everything for you in a clean, bright, colorful environment with snazzy wall art and lots of big displays playing KPop music videos. It's great. We were mainly disappointed or underwhelmed with two things: (1) the banchan (Korean side dishes included with the meal) and (2) the taste and quality of several of the meats. KPop only offers AYCE. There are no a la carte options. In recent years, I've shifted from AYCE to a la carte because typically, a-la-carte meat quality is better (and I still eat enough meat to feel full). For context, maybe I've been conditioned to prefer/expect higher quality, more premium meats. But, I can still get down with cheaper quality, AYCE-level meats like at Iron Age (another local AYCE Korean barbecue chain). If you go into KPop with Iron-Age-like expectations, you'll be happier. During our visit, the AYCE prices were $18 for lunch (Monday-Friday, 11am-3pm) and $30 for dinner (Monday-Friday, 3pm-close, and Saturday-Sunday, all day), before tax and tip. There were 20 protein/meat options on the menu, seven of which were available at dinnertime only: KPop Signature Ribeye, Shrimp (both unmarinated), KPop Steak, Marinated Galbi (bone-in), Hawaiian Steak, Cajun Shrimp, and Calamari. By comparison, Thrill offers a bigger menu, but Thrill is also designed for a higher price point than KPop (e.g., $40 AYCE). We had the KPop Signature Ribeye, Beef Brisket, KPop Steak, Marinated Galbi, Spicy Pork Bulgogi, Smoked Pork Belly, and Cajun Shrimp. Hands down, the best meat was the KPop Steak. I recommend it. The steak is served in bite-sized cubes and the marinade is delicious. It's the same marinade used on the Marinated Galbi. It's got some sweetness to it, but it's not too sweet. Both the Galbi and KPop Steak were delicious and on the richer, heavier side. Note the bone-in Galbi is difficult to eat without getting your fingers messy. All of the other meats were OK. The KPop Signature Ribeye, though unmarinated, was lightly seasoned and sliced thin. The Brisket was par for the course and the Spicy Pork Bulgogi was indeed spicy (I wasn't crazy about the flavor, though). Along with the default banchan of kimchi, spicy radish salad, pasta salad, broccoli with gochujang (Korean red chili sauce), pickled onions and jalapenos, radish wraps, romaine salad, and scallion salad, there are eight additional banchan you can request (also AYCE). Like Thrill, you can order Korean Fried Chicken and like Thrill, it's uninspired and lackluster. The Corn Cheese and Cheesy Egg Souffle were sad and puny-looking in their small, disposable aluminum cups. They weren't the "proper" Corn Cheese and Egg Souffle served on/in cooking plates/bowls or around the rim of the grill. Come on, KPop. I know you can do better than that. I will say service was excellent, from hostess Julie to manager Ricky and servers Logan and Jason. They worked hard and were very attentive.

Was excited that a new KBBQ was opening on Buford hwy but i was disappointed after the visit. The kpop theme is great and I love their paintings, especially of BTS but the food was just okay. Our server was awesome and servers are able to control the meat portions that can be brought out so we asked to bring small portions so we can try variety. While overly sweet, my favorite was the galbi and ribeye was okay. However, overall meat were thin and most of the marinated meats were overly salty. As for the shrimp, whether it's marinated or not, just don't get it. It was like eating salt water at the ocean. Side dishes were not the most flavorful and the egg souffle and rice cakes were a bit sad. Our favorite item here was ramen, though it was also watered down. For AYCE, I actually prefer Thrill which has more options and better quality for a little more $.

Checked out KPOP BBQ and Bar during their soft opening...twice! Both visits were great! Parking: Plentiful. Located in a plaza with BoBo Garden, Mango Mango and Dim Sum Heaven, parking is easy to find and stress free. AYCE Dinner Rates: $30pp for adults $11pp for ages 8-11 $9pp for ages 4-7 Hopefully, the prices stay this competitive for a while. The meat selection is great! My favorites would be the LA Galbi, ribeye, and beef brisket. The galbi is marinated well and super good. All cuts had a good meat-to-fat ratio. Unlike many other AYCE kbbq places, the meats are consistently good cuts throughout the entire meal. There are some places out there that will bring out good quality meat for your initial round, and then everything after that is super fatty. KPOP did not do that. Another thing to note would be the ribeye was kind of salty for my taste. I did notice a layer of salt and pepper on top of the ribeye when it was brought out. I would recommend asking for lightly salted or unsalted. The shrimp is pretty tasty and comes without head or shell. The calamari is pretty good too and worth trying. Be sure to order onions + mushrooms to grill with your meats if that's your thing. It's noted very small on the menu and easily overlooked. The appetizers were decent. The ramen is probably my favorite which I save until the very end of my meal. It's a good portion to share with another person. The fried tofu and corn cheese are good. Not a fan of fried chicken, dukbokki, or egg soufflé. The only thing missing here was japchae! Service: Great! The first night, our server Saejin/Sae was quick and attentive. He did everything with a smile. He was also proactive about what appetizers we liked such as the green onion salad...he'd bring out two bowls instead of just one. All other servers were seen hustlin' too and will periodically stop by and flip our meats or ask if we needed to order anything. The grills are not changed out like in other places. Instead, they use water wipes to clean off the plates when charcoal starts building up. Although I don't really mind the cleaning between meats, some servers who came by our table would wipe it down while our meats were cooking which turned some of us off... Besides that, it's worth noting that we walked out not feeling gross and smelling like KBBQ either which is a plus! Overall, KPOP is a solid AYCE spot and I'm happy it opened up closer to home. You can't really beat the $30pp dinner either since most spots are now $35+ these days. I'll be back!

They have dinner only menu items so we checked them out for dinner on Sunday @ 5:30pm ($30 pp). Was not too busy but most customers coming in were in large parties. FOOD: The first thing I noticed is that all the side dishes came out very quickly, so I'm assuming they were all pre-plated. We ordered beef brisket, kpop signature ribeye, kpop steak, and marinated galbi. Unfortunately, the quality and taste of the meat cuts were not up to par for me. The meats were all very tough and chewy. All the marinated cuts of meat were way too sweet. If I had to choose, I would say the galbi was my favorite, but be prepared to eat a lot of rice with it. SERVICE: Service overall was great. They were quick to seat us and quick to get all the dishes and meat out. Our server in particular was very welcoming and polite. Overall, I think it'd be worth it for AYCE lunch, since the unlimited sides and variety are the same for basically half the price.

That's was very cool. I like the atmosphere, music, food. The waiter was so nice to give me a cake for my birthday I had turned 15. I will definitely come back some day. I went with my family, they seemed to like it as well and so does my sister. Hope to come back thanks for your goods and service. Have a nice day

We came here for a late night dinner inspired by my girlfriend. It was everything I needed. I got a $5 strawberry mule (one of their drink specials). It was light on the alcohol but tasty all the same. I loved everything about their service. You got to order as many sides as you wanted. And they always came back to offer you more meats to choose from just as you were wrapping up your first entree. Try the Kpop Steak. I eat a lot of steak. All of them are worth it. It feels like you're in a 2000s music video when you go in there. And this location is a little tight. I can't imagine it on a day that's packed. But it's pretty a d it's fun. The booths are comfortable and it's really really clean. Which in my eyes is a plus.

I had the lunch experience with KPOP, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's slightly off-putting to acknowledge that KPOP only offers lunch pricing from 11a-3p on Fridays, but despite that, everything was perfect. SERVICE-- The waiters are so attentive, always asking whether we would like to order our proteins. They cut the meat for me, changed my grills whenever it got too charred. They consistently made sure I was comfortable at their location, which is a big distinction from KPOP @ McDonough. FOOD-- All the meats are so good! I ordered beef briskets, pork belly (regular and cajun), and shrimp (regular and cajun), and all of my choices were tasty and savory. The quality of meat is much better than KPOP, and even the side dishes were great. The only downside was their corn cheese was less stringy and tasted tangy and sour. AMBIANCE-- I was seated in a booth with my friends and had fun. It wasn't too crowded, since we went around 3PM. It had large TVs screens showing K-Pop music videos and lyrics.

Joined friends at this BBQ place. The food was good and there were lots of side dishes. Service was a little slow in bringing the meat out. The number of size dishes could fill you up while waiting on the meat to bring on the table to bbq. The ambiance was clean, and the bbq smell was not too strong when dining in. Overall, it was a great place. They were busy on a Thursday night.

Kevin is the man! give him a raise Always awesome food at K-Pop! def one of the best AYCE kbbq spots in GA! Awesome sides ! Great Service ! SHOUT OUT KEVIN! Helps make my brother's birthday awesome

Not the best Korean bbq place I've tried. There was only one meat i really liked. The sides we got were the steamed egg, corn, and popcorn chicken? The fried popcorn chicken was good but I could've passed on the rest.

Overall 5/5: Been here twice now and is definitely at the top of my list for KBBQ spots. Located next to Bobo Garden and Dim Sum Heaven, this is a great new spot to have off Buford Hwy. Food 5/5: Their pork belly is some of the best I've had in awhile. Definitely stick to the unmarinated smoked pork belly the flavor is phenomenal! They have a ton of awesome sides you can request. I enjoyed the egg soufflé and crispy rice cakes. Their macaroni salad is also great! Love the noodles they use for it. Their galbi is also stellar if you want some marinated protein as well. Service 5/5: The most recent visit we celebrated my mom's birthday and were taken great care of by Sae Jin. Absolute gem, he is awesome and very personable. All around great service though, everyone helped each other out and we were always taken care of. Ambiance 5/5: Clean interior, great energy in the restaurant. Can't complain at all. Thank you, KPOP KBBQ!

I love Kpop. I've been here 5 or 6 times and the experience is always great. I typically go with my wife but we've also taken other couples to this location and always had a blast. Bottom line, Kpop is great for Atlanta. It is somewhat pricey but their sides are on point and unlimited just like their BBQ. In particular, get the fried tofu and the spicy fried rice cake. I don't even like spicy fried rice cake (I've had it at a number of other places) but the taste and texture here at this location single-handledly changed my opinion. It's awesome and I will get it every single time. So while the scene on Atlanta can't compare to SoCal, at least I won't have to tell people anymore that there are no good KBBQ spots.

We ordered all the appetizers. We got the galbi, kpop steak, bulgogi, and brisket to start off. It is all you can eat so you get to try different proteins. Our servers were Jose and Tyaon (sorry if I spelled your name wrong). They were quick and attentive. Wonderful service! We will be back again!

Had guests in town and told them they could pretty much choose food from anywhere in the world and we could find it in Atlanta! They chose Korean BBQ so we did some quick research and decided on K-pop based on reviews and reasonable price ($35/person). It was great! The server was very nice and gave us great recommendations on which meats to try. Everything was good quality. Would return!

Terrific all you can eat Korean bbq. Service was friendly swift and attentive. We had two waiters that were keeping us and the other 7 tables around us always stocked with our choices of proteins, appetizers, and banchan. We were allowed to select 2 proteins at a time and as soon as they were ready, they set them aside on a plate (or we scarfed them down) and asked what we wanted next. We enjoyed our evening!

I visited with a party of three on a weeknight. The restaurant is very clean, modern, and not too busy when we arrived. It doesn't seem like each table has their own server, but whichever employee walks by will help you. Service was pretty good until the restaurant got more busy. Personally, I prefer to cook the meat ourselves, but the workers will come by and help. I enjoyed that you didn't feel rushed to leave. Their AYCE is only $30, which is on the cheaper end for most KBBQ restaurants. You also get a decent number of protein options - our favorite was the kpop special cube steak and classic brisket. However, some of the marinated meats were too sweet for our liking. Compared to other restaurants, I don't think you get as many side dishes. For example, they only give you two slices of pickled radish, but you can ask for more. The kimchi wasn't super flavorful, but the green onion and regular salads were great. The KFC reminded me of sweet and sour chicken; they are not actual wings. The cheese corn came on a separate hot plate and didn't have much cheese. Overall, I would prefer KBBQ Factory in Duluth for a restaurant at the same price point.

I'm so glad there is another AYCE korean bbq on buford hwy. I gave them 25 stars due to the following: 1. Location: perfect! 2. Service: Our group of 5 came on a Thursday night and was greeted and seated promptly. Staff were nice and didn't rush us into making a decision. Came by often to help us with our food. Was prompt when we needed more side dishes. 3. Price: It was $30 per adult for dinner. $18 for lunch. 4. Food: We ordered a little bit of everything, but really enjoy the brisket, Hawaiian steak, beef bulgogi, and cajun shrimp. 5. Atmosphere: Plenty of Kpop décor on the walls but multiple TV throughout the whole restaurant. I enjoyed the music and glad it wasn't repeating the same 5 songs, but had a whole playlist for the 2 hours we were there. Overall, I would recommend and would definitely be back.

CODY AND DEE WERE PHENOMENAL!!! They were so attentive and kind. The food was amazing and their conversational skills were great. They felt so genuine and like they really enjoyed helping us. Will definitely come back!

3.5/5 The new bbq spot is located in the same plaza as Mango Mango & Bobo garden. It's unlimited, so the meat quality is average. Not the best, but far from the worst. We went during their grand opening week and you can sense the craziest of their workflow. There's not a single server but multiple servers. They do their best to cook your meat and prevent it from being burnt, but sometimes it's best that you step in to cook your own meat. Hoping they have fixed some of their workflow kinks by now. The selection is huge for their unlimited. Large selection of banchan, appetizers, and meats. Our favorites were the marinated galbi, Kpop steak, and beef brisket. They were out of the cheesy egg souffle and dumpings when we were there. If you're looking to bulk up, this is the place for you!

Tried this place as it was one of the best late night options at the time. Only waited like 5 mins for our table and when seated, the whole spread of sides we're waiting for us! Very impressive and every single side was delicious! It's all you can eat sides and proteins with a choice of 2 proteins. We got squid and shrimp. The server attended the grill but I felt like we were more responsible for the cooking. It's a gas grill in the middle of the table which is definitely more modern than the traditional hot coals of other Korean BBQ places. Overall it was a great experience but the shrimp were just ok, a little small and I missed the fire/smoke flavor you get with a hot coal grill. The squid seemed of good quality and of course cooks very quickly and perfect on the grill. Definitely worth it just for all the sides like fried tofu and garlic spinach and dipping sauces. All top notch!

Was there for dinner, it was Friday night, got a table quite quickly. Meat quality was good & fresh. Apparently the staff cooks the meat for you, you are only allowed to order 2 protein at a time. Appetizer is unlimited although It takes quite awhile to get them as they are very busy. Staff are very busy & appears overwhelmed. Here's the thing... you only have 2 hours to eat, there's a time limit however with the lack of staff , you actually wait awhile for them to cook for you. We finally started cooking the meat ourselves only then some staff will jump in to do the cooking. Staff are overworked & hardly any of them are smiling & we don't blame them. With Post Covid, everyone is having staffing challenges. We were not full when we left the place even when we had exceeded our eating time. As per review, the K-pop steak were excellent, the Cajun shrimp are too salty. We loved the marinated meats.

New kbbq in town! The look: modern, the Art Deco was so intriguing to look at and the best part of it all was no smoke! The ventilation system is top notch. The service: They seem to still be working out some kinks since it was the soft opening but our servers were attentive and always ready to grill. Only complaint was that it took awhile after food came out that beers came. Finally the fooood: there's a big selection of new and familiar bbq available. Tasty banchan, and unlimited apps such as rice cakes and fried chicken. We only got to try a limited amount as our tummies could not handle anymore, will have to go back and try more. So we can only comment on things we did try. Brisket was only so so on the dry side, bulgolgi had a heavy presence of orange peels but star of the show was the galbi. The most perfect marinade I've yet to try. I'd go back just for that. Overall food seems to be on the sweet side. Will definitely be going back to try more of the thicker cuts of meat!

A really good option of you want reasonably-priced, all-you-c We an-eat Korean food. We paid $30 per adult for dinner on a week night. Not bad at all, if you forego the pricey cocktails. Other pluses include: 1) This restaurant It is in Doraville and is accessible within I-285 (via road and MARTA). 2) The servers are super efficient and friendly. 3) Unique Korean sides are included with the meal. We had as much protein AND tasty pickled sides and salads as we could handle.

Service: *Very good! Friendly staff- attentive. Brought/refilled drinks, side dishes, & choice of meat quickly! ( : Favorite side dish: *Loved the spicy rice cakes! Crispy & chewy - A must try! Meat quality: *On the dryer side - specifically the beef

First time eating Korean BBQ and we LOVED it! The food was great, the atmosphere was fun, and we had great service. Couldn't ask for better. We will be back to this restaurant and try other K BBQ as well. Our waiter (Sony) made our first time eating K BBQ and very experience!

Loved this place! The selection was excellent and the service was beyond- when you go ask to sit in Cody's section because he was incredibly attentive. We had the best time and will definitely be back very soon!

New KBBQ place located in a good location in Doravile! Made reservations and attended their soft opening. Service was really good! Purely food based review, preference of meats tasted: 1) Marinated Galbi - Super solid, highly recommend! 2) Signature Ribeye - Very good & juicy. 3) Pork Bulgogi - Actually pretty tasty, would get again. 4) Beef Brisket - Honestly very average you'd get anywhere. 5) Galbi Steak Patty - Interesting to order, but you can just get Galbi instead. 6) Cajun Pork Belly - Not as good as I hoped, small portion. 7) Teriyaki Chicken - It's what you expect, would rather have more KFC appetizers. 8) Cajun Shrimp - Super salty, would rather get regular shrimp. As for the sides: Ramen, corn cheese, rice cakes, fried tofu, egg, and KFC all decent and solid options!

We went on a Wednesday night at 6pm wasn't too busy and got seated fast. The dumplings and house salad for the sides were great and so was the bulgogi. I wasn't a fan of the chicken and this is all you can eat. For $35. It was clean and our servers were every attentive and amazing

We had a great experience there. Our server Kevin was fast and on top of it. Kept the food coming. Perfectly cooked and adjusted as we wanted. The Ban chan sides are the usual one would see at any bbq which is standard. I like the unlimited appetizers although we only ordered one round to save room for everything else. All the meats were delicious. I do recommend their bone in galbi, brisket, kpop steak, and pork belly (nice and thick ). The ventilation was quite amazing. I always expect to smell like kbbq when I leave but the smoke was nearly nonexistent. Overall would recommend. Definitely will be back. Also I feel so silly not taking pictures of the food because we ate too fast.

I'm so glad there is now an AYCE Korean BBQ spot in Doraville (I may be wrong but this may be the only spot with unlimited meats, sides and appetizers in the area). We dined here on a Monday night and waited a few minutes as our table was getting set since there were 10 of us. The servers introduced themselves as we sat down and we ordered right away. I loved the spicy rice cake, fried tofu, ribeye, shrimp, K-pop steak the best. All the meats were tender and good quality. You can only order 2 different meats at a time and they were served in small servings. Every time our server dropped by our table, he always asked if we needed anything. I should say their service was amazing. From the time we sat down, to us leaving, their service was exceptional.

Asked for a table for 2... hostess says hold on a second and walks over to a man she says was the manager. She comes back and says oh I'm sorry we don't seat anyone after 10:10pm. I look at my phone it's 10:11pm... I'm not making this up. They close at 11pm according to their own guidelines. I completely understand not to arrive 10 minutes before closing time... heck I wouldn't have even shown up 30 minutes before closing time. 50 minutes before closing is not unreasonable... y'all lazy!!!

Jason and kevin made this experience the best! Awesome food, awesome staff, and great service overall :)

love Kpop and Kbbq? well this is the perfect spot for you! Kpop bangers and banging proteins are provided to you by the wonderful staff and everything tastes great! service was top notch with Vo serving us & Kevin with the assist. If you're there make sure to ask for them! Vo took really good care of us and even refilled our kimchi without us asking ! best proteins in my opinion are the beef brisket and their ribeye (mainly because i have an unmarinated bias) but the cajun shrimp and marinated bone-in galbi are amazing as well. we also ordered their house cabernet which tasted great for the price (only $6!) and their delightful strawberry delight. drinks were just as good as the proteins! all in all this is a solid spot and everything is a steal to be honest. $30 is an amazing dinner price with the amount of proteins and even appetizers provided. will definitely come here often! they even got party rooms so bring your friends!!!

Kevin was a great server. Fast service and very attentive for our big party. The food was good and the atmosphere was nice

This was my second time here and it was just as good if not better than my first! Jose and Jason were our servers and they were awesome! Super helpful in cooking our meat and was always ready to bring us more food! Slowly turning my husband into a KPOP fan like me. Good food, music, and music videos help with such an indoctrination haha. Kidding Anyways, even if you don't like Kpop check this place out! Great atmosphere, great food, and amazing servers!

Always a good vibe at Kpop! Perfect place to relax and eat at a great price. Shout out to Jose and Armando!
