D92 Korean BBQ - Athens

Usually the food is great. This time, the japchae had an overwhelming amount of black pepper on it, the strawberry cake was just strawberry shortcake which I didn’t know, and don’t like. The bean sprouts were super tasty. I ate all of those, all of the fish cake and a good bit of the rice. I didn’t eat all of the cake, chicken, or japchae and threw it all away. The japchae is usually sweet. The chicken didn’t taste fresh at all. This time, I don’t know what happened but the food was terrible and it’s usually very tasty. 40 bucks wasted

First they charge you per drink for every drink except water. $2.50 per soft drink. The food was mediocre with not hardly any flavoring. The all you can eat menu has no beef unless you pay a higher price. They also automatically add the tip to every check no matter how many people are in your party. Definitely won’t be back! Iron Age in Buford is the Best!

Food wonderful, service in point, atmosphere comfortable. Prices are high but I can be okay with that because the quality is so good. What I don't like is the none negotiable gratuity. There has been times I've been here and the service has not been worth the 18% gratuity. Tonight she was worth it. But I do like to tip based on their service. That's my only gripe. I'll be back. The quality is good.

My first visit here, January of 2025, 8pm dinner with a friend. Food was great, I really felt I was in a Korean drama. Service was top notch, buffet was closed so we had a menu combo. For the price you pay, a good portion of food is provided. Our server placed the meat on the grill, buddy and I just flipped it to our cooked liking. I'm not sure how to judge a Korean restaurant by American standards, but by Korean standards, great food, great service, tables are a bit small making the dinning of two cramped, but manageable. If you enjoy or want to try eating Korean style, this is the place. But bring some funds and be ready to spend!

PLEASE READ OTHER HONEST REVIEWS! (FILTER LOWEST IN REVIEWS TO SEE RECENT COMMENTS). DO NOT GO! SCAM GUARANTEED! Do not go unless you're comfortable paying a waitress's paycheck regardless of service and for cold food! Our witress was very inattentive and we still had to pay her "gratuity" for work that she DID NOT do, which was $12 per person, because they "could not remove the fee". The food we received was cold, even the rice! She neglected to put in the orders or even write them down. I spent the entire meal eating banchan and my kids an appetizer! We arrived nearly an hour after opening and there we no more than 2 other tables seated before we got there. They tried to overcharge my sister for a drink which was another issue as they decided to add specifications that she did not request. The menu and prices are misleading as there are more restrictions than that of which are mentioned. Thank goodness for the other lady available as she comped 1x of the meals that we didn't receive. The guy clearing the tables was also incredibly helpful. Unfortunately, these two aren't the ones that receive the tip even though they deserve it. Ultimately, just steer clear, especially when "gratuity" is included as this waitress showed that it doesn't matter how she treats patrons since she is still getting paid.

I would give 0 star if I could. How dare you charge 18% mandatory gratuity by offering the WORST SERVICE: 1. The waitress slipped and spilled some boiling soup onto the table; 2. Gave me receipt of table 6 while I'm in table 7; 3. Kept ignoring my calling with the red button when I wanted to communicate about the wrong receipt; 4. Kept ignoring me when I went to the front desk trying to talk about the wrong receipt; 5. Finally gave me the correct receipt without apologize; 6. I went to the front desk again to argue the gratuity on the receipt, and of course, waiting for a long time to get someone; 7. Finally got apologize this time, but was told the 18% gratuity was mandatory; 8. My friend packed her food and you didn't even give her a plastic bag? I definitely will never enter this restaurant again, and will tell everyone I know about my awful experience today. Don't recommend this place if you expect any service.

My favorite place to eat in Athens with friends. Korean bbq facilitates a dining experience where everyone is engaged and immersed in the food and conversation. This place always brings out the type of communal vibes I strive for In a group dining experience (Harry Potter feasts, a big Italian family dinner, you get the gist). I always stay the full length of time and take full advantage of the A.Y.C.E. The variety of side dishes and meat choices keep you wanting seconds, thirds, and in my case up to 40ths ( please don't ban me 😁). Have generally had great servers here. In terms of the quality of food compared to other Korean bbq, I can't say it's top of the line, but I feel the price is fair and my mouth still waters at the prospect of eating here.
