SSAMJANG Korean BBQ

I had a fantastic dining experience at Ssamjang. The meats were incredibly flavorful and cooked to perfection — every bite was juicy and satisfying. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home throughout the meal. What stood out the most was the overall ambiance. The restaurant is modern, stylish, and impeccably clean. It felt like a perfect blend of traditional Korean BBQ with a contemporary touch. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality K-BBQ experience.

Other nearby K-BBQ spots may be cheaper, but I was very disappointed with their hygiene. I’m confident that SSAMJANG is run by real Korean food experts. Every dish was cleanly and freshly prepared, and the staff were extremely friendly. They also have a rewards program. Aside from being slightly saltier than what I’m used to in Korea (perhaps to suit American tastes), the flavor is very close to authentic Korean BBQ. A true hidden gem.

We ordered the prime short rib and it was crazy fatty like hard to eat fatty. The marinated short rib had good flavor and was slightly easier to eat, but still pretty fatty. The Korean fried chicken was also definitely just frozen chicken. Overall, was pretty disappointed since the main coursers weren’t that good. I thought the side dishes (banchan) were mainly the best part of the meal. Glad I tried it but definitely will be making the trip elsewhere for Korean bbq.

This place is slept on! This is the BEST Korean bbq my husband and I have EVER eaten! The portions are plenty and quality meats, the sauces are delicious, and the sides are exquisite! Fairly priced and food is filling! We love it!

Donkatsu price is $12 and I thought it would have a small portion and ordered dakgangjeong as well. However, the food portion was slightly more than enough for one and the taste was good too. One thing I was disappointed was the dakgangjeong’s taste wasn’t the same as the one that I’ve tried in Korea. It’s more like Americanized taste; non-Korean will like it though!

I usually don't go out of my way to write reviews but this place stood out and was leagues above some of the other KBBQ places I've been in the past. I went during a relatively slow late lunch time so there weren't many people in the restaurant. The place was very clean, the aesthetics were nice, and the music was a nice volume that was audible but not so loud you have to speak up to talk over it. We did the all you can eat option and got various meats, veggies, and sides. Everything was delicious. The only thing I was missing was some kind of sauce to cook the veggies in. They were still very delicious dipped in the various sauces we were provided but could have benefitted from being cooked in another sauce. The service was the best part. Chewi was always there when we wanted something or to offer us something. He kept our grill clean and brought wet towels for our hands when we needed them. I highly recommend trying this place if you have the opportunity. I will be recommending this place to all my friends in the future.

Ssamjang is fantastic! Nestled behind Cumberland mall, it is the most upscale Korean bbq experience you’ll find in Atlanta. I love how they incorporate vegetables and fruits when your meats arrive. Grill the pineapple!!!! The drink selection was very nice, complimentary to the variety of food. I love the deserts you can get at the end! You can take food to go as well!

I was born and raised in Korea. This place had an amazing server named John and an excellent food quality. All of the food tasted like back home. This was my third time, and will be returning for more!

We visited Ssamjang for dinner with two friends from out of town. This restaurant is tucked away in Cumberland Mall so parking is easy, and it wasn't too crowded on a Tuesday night. The food and service were phenomenal. I started off with the soup and it was so full of flavor and served hot. I enjoyed the marinated short rib and the kimchi and radish sides, and rice! 10/10 on everything. The cocktail tower of traditional Korean Soju was not my favorite but my friends loved it. We were able to take our left overs home which I know is not routine for Korean bbq restaurants so that was a nice touch. Overall it was a great experience and I do recommend.

Great Korean BBQ restaurant! And conveniently located in Cumberland Mall. I have eaten here several times and at times the service can be a little slow, but the staff is usually very nice and friendly. The ambiance is great! It's very upscale and relaxing. If you are looking for a nice, peaceful place to eat for date night, this place is great. They have an AYCE deal for lunch which is excellent, but the regular dinner menu is amazing also. You get very large portions. Check them out, you will be back again, I promise!

Korean BBQ is very one dimensional. There isn't much to it. It's grilling meat. What makes each establishment stand out is the quality of the meat, the type of sides they provide, and of course the service. I'd have to say that Ssamjang KBBQ does do the deal and stand out as another Korean BBQ joint that seems to be going outside of the Duluth area and into the Perimeter. I would venture to say that this establishment is a better offering for Atlantans in Cobb County and beyond. The ambiance here is simple. Well lit. A plethora of tables that fits anywhere from two seaters all the way to large parties of eight. The place is clean, functions efficiently, and for it being a new place, they seem to have things worked out. The service here is very basic. The server is professional, courteous, prompt, and efficient. Not much to really write home about. He did his job and he did it well. Keep this track record and this place will give Cobb County a pleasant KBBQ offering. Now for the food. The meat quality here is above average. They have a very good variety of meat although it is very basic and caters again to the western palette. Some proteins have cajun spices, garlic, soy, and spicy marinades which seem to be what attracts the crowd in terms of consensus among most KBBQ joints here but with the quality of the meat being that good, it's negligible to be upset about the over done marinade concept. I do appreciate their banchan offerings and their sides also come with something different than I expected. The two most unexpected sides that they offer than most KBBQ places don't is the tonkatsu (deep fried pork cutlets) and the ddoek galbi (ground beef/pork patty served in a teriyaki style sauce). Both where flavorful and both were definitely winners to me. All in all, this is just your run of the mill KBBQ place with better sides and a very prominent meat quality. At $33, it's competitively priced compared to a lot of others out there. My only disappointment is that for the All You Can Eat option (which is the only reason I go to those places) is that they only have it between a few select hours. Lunch is the primary window and then at night, from 10pm to close are the only times they offer the all you can eat option which to me does not make any sense from a business perspective. A 6 hour window of no AYCE KBBQ? What sense is that???!!! That's just me though. All in all, it's not too shabby of a place and worth checking out.

Happened upon this chic establishment by chance. The food and service were excellent!! The Ssambab bulgogi wraps with chili sauce was divine!! I will definitely go back if I am ever in the area again!! Nice establishment for date night!!

Amazing authentic Korean bbq. Ultimate test are the doengjang jigae and kimchi--spit on authentic flavors. Also great value as the 7 of us could not finish the 2 Value C meals that serve 8. It was more for 12 people--next time would order just one and supplement w more of the Korean rib meats. They even served the egg casserole gyeran jim. Top quality and quantity--great formula for a restaurant especially in the mall. Service was great as well and ambience for a crowd.

The restaurant is clean and beautiful, including the bathrooms. Our waiter/cook was amazing, attentive, and very easy to talk to. I would go back. Remember to take your food off when it's cooked to your liking. And as always, the sides are unlimited.

Been wanting to try this new Korean BBQ in Cobb county. It isolated conveniently off 75 attached to Cumberland mall. The place was huge, clean, and beautiful. We decided to do the combos since there were 9 of us. The food came out quick and our server, Nick was amazing. He recommended a soju for us and we loved it. Definitely enjoyed it and will be back!

Second time to get take out, and it has it has not disappointed us. Five stars. We got Korean pancake, bulgogi, kimchi fried rice, galbi, kim bob, and assorted kimchis with white rice. Highly recommend

Here's a restaurant with banchan and bulgogi that tastes like Seoul. The food is delicious. I had six little Ssambap lettuce leaves with rice, topped with Bulgogi and a very nice sauce for dipping. Instead of dipping (it was thick) I put a dab of each "roll up" and it was perfection My eating companion had two dishes - the kimchi rice, which she said was delicious and the Bibibop, which she also appreciated. The Bonchon collection was excellent. There were the watermelon, radishes, the kimchi, mashed potato with corn - which was really interesting, cucumbers, broccoli, and fried tofu pieces. Each of these items was really tasty, but I'm not a fan of the tofu, so I wouldn't normally take it if I had a choice. I'm thinking the next time we come in here we might try the all-you-can-eat menu but it's a bit much for a luncheon Which is why we stuck with appetizers..

I came with a party of 4 on a Wednesday evening and was seated promptly. The ambiance was very contemporary and everything (including the grills) at each table were brand new. The meat was off the charts. As someone that has frequented Iron Age, Thrill, and Breakers, this place was far and away a step above. The lack of an "All You Can Eat" option outside of lunch and late night was an initial turn off, but after experiencing the combo portion size and the amazing quality of meats, I'm more than sold. Our server, Andrew (who also cooked all meats to order) was amazing! Super pleasant and informative. With this place being open until midnight during the week and until 2a on Fri and Sat, I've found a new "Go To". I'll be back next week!

Food: 10/10 We ordered the Combo C which was plenty enough for 5 people. It was actually a lot of meat but we were able to take the leftovers home so that was a win! Really tasty and great cuts of meats! The sides were also very good. Service: 10/10 Our server, Austin, was amazing! He was attentive and just had really great energy. He made sure we were well taken care of during our meal. Ambiance: 10/10 I say it's a 10 because we went on a weeknight and there was barely anyone there so we were able to enjoy our meal without having to wait that long for our food.

Very very good. Clean, great quality. The lunch all you can eat is of great value. The Hawaiian beef Bulgogi The chicken that starts with a g Were all very good The brisket had no flavor though Bryce, our server was very kind and attentive. Service was great

Wow what can I say. The service was immaculate. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu. He was able to offer suggestions as well and challenged us to try something new which we really loved. The food was top tier for a Korean bbq spot! Since we did order wagyu we were anticipating amazing food.. and we were not let down.

Good quality meats, great food, and generous portions! My group of 5 ordered the "C Combo" which the menu stated was for about 4 people, but we felt that it could've easily fed 6. The meat portion sizes were large and the appetizers that came with the combo were generous-- two steamed eggs, two corn cheeses, kimchi fried rice, and soybean soup! Our waiter, Nick, was very also friendly and attentive as he helped cook, clean the grills, and we never had to wait long for any drink or side refills. The restaurant was also very clean and spacious. My group is already excited to come back the next time we're in Atlanta.

This was an amZing place! Believe me when I say you will have plenty of food! Our server was absolutely amazing! I'm sorry I forgot his name but " you were amazing "!

Ambience is perfect for a bbq buffet cos place is big, airy, & new. Service is great. There's a wide selection of high quality meats. The soda which is complimentary is a nice added touch. The only thing that's missing is a dessert.

By no means am I a local, and we just happened to stumble upon this place during our trip to the mall, but this place is amazing!! We went on a Monday afternoon around 4pm and had no wait. The food was amazing, veggie bibimbap is a great choice for vegetarians/vegans (make sure to ask for no egg) and the meat (I had the Ala carte brisket and pork belly) was very fresh and very tasty! It's a very clean space and they have discounts on days that the Braves play! Above all else, the service was top notch!!! Ellie (I think was her name) took such great care of us and was so attentive to our needs. She truly made this visit one of a kind and was pushed this review over the edge! If you are in the area make sure to give this place a try!

Solid menu, usually I come in for lunch and get the Soondub Beef. The soup was very lovely and it tastes just like how mom makes it. The menu is fairly priced for the quality of the meat cuts and I do think it is a steal for the all you can eat where it is the same type of meat quality for the lunch and late night all you can eat for the price of $33. Plus for the all you can eat, there is side dishes that are unlimited while you do the all you can eat such as the egg custard, tteobokki, and the mandu. Would recommend anyone to come here because the quality of food is astounding !!!!!

I honestly wish I would have seen the 2 star review before coming here & or the fact that there was barely anyone in there. I was so disappointed in the quality of the meat & the sides could have been better. If you've ever had K-pop then you'd know that the $40 they charge for AYCE is well worth it now. Far better quality & taste there. Also, our server automatically included a 20% gratuity. Which was insane to me bc he barely did anything for us. It was just me & my bf. I'm big on tipping at least 20% or more if the service was great, but that wasn't the case. I would not come back.

Love this place. Came here for my Birthday. The food and service were excellent! Have been here almost half a dozen times. I am Korean, so you don't have to go all the way to Buford Hwy now, which says a lot!

Best option for Korean bbq this side of town/West Atlanta. You won't be disappointed. All other Korean bbq restaurants in Atlanta outside of Duluth are lacking authenticity, quality side dishes and good service. Ssamjang provides all that and the interior is beautiful.

Iron Age quality kbbq. If you're a Korean bbq pro you know this ain't it. And they don't even carry ssamjang, which is insanity. I'll give them 3 stars if they add ssamjang. Kimchi doesn't have good flavor, neither does the corn cheese it's literally just corn and cheese lol. We won't be back.

Love this place! The food is great and a good value for your money. It's very aesthetically pleasing and the staff is super friendly. definitely recommend if you're in the area!

The meats are high quality. We met one of the co-owners and they are very dedicated into providing good food and meats being fresh. They have their own butcher and they slice the meats to order.

Food is excellent. Combos are a great price for the quality and quantity. Chewy was the best server.

Great food and great service. You are made to feel relaxed, with attentive conversation.

Came to ATL for a conference. We were craving for Korean BBQ. Found Ssamjang on Google Maps. The food was delicious. Service was excellent! Tim was very attentive and friendly. He grilled our food to perfection. Phillip was great too! Will definitely come back here with friends next time.

Food was fabulous. All our Korean favorites. Service was really good as well. Very attentive
