Our group of 4 went on a Saturday night. It wasn't very busy which we enjoyed. Everything was superb. Eugene was an amazing server who provided us sound advice on the meal we should have and he was spot on. We chose the Set for 4. He cooked everything to perfection and the banchan sides were yummy as well. Would definitely return. read more

My partner recently picked up lunch for me at Bene and I'm so glad that he did. Although I hadn't tried them before this lunch, they're definitely serving up food that I enjoy so my bf was on point in his choice. He brought home a spicy chicken bento box that included rice, a salad slaw of some sort, a tiny bit of Mac salad, kimchi and kimchi cucumbers. It was a nice sized lunch portion! The Mac salad was cool, not usually my thing but it was tasty. The salad was also really good and fresh, I wish there was a bit more to enjoy. The kimchi and cucumbers were very good, I wish they were spicier but I ate them alll. The chicken was delicious but not spicy enough. All together, this meal was a perfect combo of flavors. I'll definitely return for more bites to enjoy. read more

Bland food Overpriced Go to Thrill or Iron Age. You will be much better off. The establishment looks nice, but could also have more charm. Just because your business is in Buckhead, does not mean you should charge over $53.99 Per head at lunch. For the price you are charging it should be as good as what you can get in Seoul. No gas grills, charcoal only. 송추가마골인어반 영등포점 Service before profits and make sure you have community and customer buy in before charging almost as much as Fogo de Chao at dinner.

Hands down, the BEST KBBQ experience ever! I will admit, it is extremely pricey, but it's worth it. The ambiance is very upscale and sensual and LET ME TELL YOU our server was FINE AF! I do not know his name but he looks exactly like DK from Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift! Whew! Keep him, I woulda tipped him $100 if I coulda lol. Anyways, the food was VERY fresh and well organized on the table. Check out the pictures I uploaded. All in all, I will definitely be back, hopefully with my partner. Again, this is an upscale, pricey KBBQ spot so if you're on a tight budget, don't come here unless you plan on spending at least $200. Literally the best in Atlanta. read more

Great Job, Amazing Food & service. I highly recommend this place! The restaurant is so nice and simple/classy. My husband and I appreciated the servers especially the owner of the place! Come down here if you're looking for a great place to dine in. One last thing, my husband and I enjoyed our time here and will be coming back before the weekend ends read more

-- FOOD -- The pork and beef combo set was a good amount for 3 people, although we didn't leave super full. They had a great selection if refillable banchan for the table. The sauces to dip the grilled meat in were good as well. -- SERVICE -- The waiter was super attentive and cooked all the meat at the table for us to ensure optimal cooking. She was great at making sure all of our side dishes remained full and our waters remained topped off. -- AMBIANCE -- The restaurant had easy parking. They have both street and deck parking available in the complex and is located conveniently next to a MARTA station as well. The tables and bathroom were clean and the atmosphere was nice but laidback and quiet. read more

So this is a cool Korean barbecue spot. It's fairly new so it doesn't have a lot of buzz at the older ones have, but it's still pretty cool. It's very clean and the bar is set up in a really nice way. This is in the uptown area. Small little restaurant and a bar district in Buckhead. They don't have free parking so keep that in mind, but at the same time if you're going for like 2 hours you might pay $13. It isn't terrible. I guess. In Atlanta you've paid more I'm sure LOL. But there is parking right in front of the buildings so at least easy access. If you want to drive around to the structure, there's also Park in air as well. I actually didn't do the Korean BBQ sauce when I went last time, I only did drinks. But it depends on when, but I would consider going to do the food as well. You want to check the menu and check the Instagram to see when they have reasonable pricing available for that. But I was looking at the food options and smelling all the food while I was at the bar. It smelled really good. They were Johnny on the spot when it came in customer service. read more

Terrible service and automatically charges 20% service for every order do not recommend!

Awesome space, nice, airy, and inviting. The plastic flowers do take away from the overall vibe a bit, though. Service was good, and the food was flavorful especially the Korean pie and rib dish. The wings were messy but definitely worth it. The staff was kind, and while the prices are on the higher side, the experience was solid. The manager/owner truly stood out, excellent presence and hospitality. read more

I've lived in the ATL for 25+ years. Dined at numerous restaurants in this beautiful city. I was absolutely appalled of the inadequate service I received at Bene Korean. It was my first time eating here and was so exited to dine here. I ordered Ramen beef, fried shrimp and a blackberry margarita (delicious). I specifically ask the waiter if it comes with seafood or beef as mentioned on menu. He said seafood and beef. When dish arrived it was just seafood. I told him there isn't any beef in the dish. I barely touched the dish. He said he's sorry if he wasn't clear. He would ask the chef to replace it with the beef. Waiter returns and said that the Chef would not substitute the Ramen seafood for beef. I told him that it's my very first time patronizing here and you would rather me walk out hungry and unhappy for a mistake you admittedly made by not making yourself clear about my menu selection. He said he's sorry. I said I'm not paying for this order. Then he later brings out the fried shrimp. I'm not paying for this either. I didn't want to eat anything at this point. It goes downhill from here. This little tiny Korean woman comes to tell me that I had to pay for the shrimp because nothing was wrong with order. I was too upset to eat anything. I said at this point everything is wrong. I'm only going to pay for my drink. She said she was going to call the police. I said ok call the police. My drink was $15. I left $25. on the table. I told my girlfriend I'm out. The little woman is at the door blocking me from leaving. I said move out my way the you cant make me stay here. So, I pushed her out my way. Now she said I hit her and the camera will show I assaulted her. Long story short the police shows up. This scene is not looking good to the only two customer eating inside. The police was even shocked about the entire situation. There's more, but don't want to bore with details. The little Korean lady said she can go I don't want any more money from me.Officer left. THE END! I will never eat here again. The food is overpriced. The food portions are not equivalent to the price of the food. My girlfriend was pleased with the chicken dish. However, she said that she would not come back . For me, they didn't even try to make their mistake right for a first time customer. It would not have escalated like it did. No customer service resolution at all. Now, they 're getting a bad review that will make you or break a restaurant. My Atlantans, there are so many delicious and wonderful restaurants that you can spend your hard earned money on. Ben Korean BBQ is like a pig wearing lipstick. It's all made up, packaged nicely, but service and food does not deliver and so over rated. Trust me you will be very upset and disappointed when you walk up out of here. I drop the Mic!!!! read more

An elevated Korean BBQ experience right by Lindbergh Center MARTA station in Buckhead - this was quite a pleasant experience! We stopped by on the way to our car (parking unknown here - seems like all paid lot parking, though MARTA parking is free with a validated ticket...) as this was right next to the entrance to MARTA, next to 26 Thai. Not very busy on an early Saturday, so we had some of the most excellent service seen at a KBBQ restaurant. Staff were pleasant, attentive, and cooked for us. Not sure how the cooking experience would be if it were busier, but they definitely kept our grill well attended. This is a more premium kbbq experience, so getting the all you can eat might have not been the right decision. The meat selection is somewhat varied, but limited to fewer selections. Highlight was the seasoned steak. Most other tables got the set menus which came out on a fully dressed tray with a little bonsai tree! AYCE at $50 is higher than most other places and quality is about the same. The tomahawk steak and more premium cuts I think are the draw here, not an AYCE experience. Sides and banchan were quite good. Restaurant is very modern and clean inside, bathrooms were nice, and experience is intended to be more classy than your oily floor kpop blasting restaurant (don't get me wrong those are wonderful). read more

My favorite Korean bbq spot in Atlanta! My friend and I were looking for different KBBQ places to try out and despite their high prices compared to other locations, we decided to check this place out. They give off a high end bbq house feel with nice fancy decors, seating, and lighting. The menu is very simple. Like most KBBQ places, they have the a la carte option or the all you can eat option. I'd normally go with the all you can eat, but the meats I wanted were only a la carte, so we ended up ordering two servings of brisket and a serving of the sirloin. Both were really good, but the brisket, slightly grilled crispy definitely took the win. While the staff cooks your meats, they do ask for your preference on how you'd like it cooked. Their side dishes were also abundant and diverse, highly recommend their kimchi and pickled jalapeños; really spicy. Their soft drinks come out in bottles, so definitely better than those foundation drinks. The staff were very professional and kind. The gentleman who helped grill our meats made sure everything was cooked to our likings and even offered to bring out some extra briskets because the ones we had got slightly over cooked. Definitely great customer service. Now the costs is above average here and some can questions if it's worth it, but factoring in the quality of the meat and dining experience, to me it was worth it and I highly recommend those looking for more of an upscale KBBQ shop to try Bene. Parking is tough as it's all street parking and there actually aren't many spots around the area. read more

I've visited Bene Korean BBQ twice for lunch, and both times have been great. The restaurant's elegant ambiance, with its minimal yet classy decor, sets a refined tone. Service was consistently excellent during both of my visits. I've particularly enjoyed the Dol-Sot Bibimbap with Spicy Pork ($14.99). The dish had a vibrant mix of fresh vegetables, and the spicy sauce provided a satisfying kick. I've also enjoyed the Chicken Bulgogi Box ($13.99) and the Korean Fried Chicken ($11.99). The chicken was juicy and flavorful in both of these entrees. My partner absolutely loves the Galbi Lunch Box ($18.99). The beef short ribs were perfectly marinated and grilled to perfection. All of our entrees were accompanied by a hearty soup, a refreshing salad with a wonderfully sweet dressing, and three flavorful side dishes. Personally, I think compared to the other options in Atlanta, Bene is an awesome choice for Korean food. read more

Really wanted to LOVE this place because I LOVE Korean bbq and was so excited to try out a new spot outside of Duluth. Here's my breakdown on why I felt like I had to leave such a low star review: For starters the price of the set we ordered was $329.99 all beef to serve 4-5 people. We had 3 people and ate almost all of the meat. The meat quality was not bad and they had a great selection of cuts included, but for the price of it... I would have rather gone to kangs kitchen or 9292, you can get sets there for the same quantity and quality at a much lower price. The banchans were disappointing and dishes such as rice, stew, corn cheese, and egg soufflé were all an additional cost. Again, I just do not feel the cost was justified. Our servers were great and the interior was aesthetically pleasing, but I don't think I would visit again. read more

For the past few years, I've been rooting for the Uptown development to take off. Arguably one of the best locations in Atlanta due to the property being equidistant from the cores of Midtown and Buckhead AND it being a major transfer point along the MARTA rail system. For some reason (likely due to the high volumes of strip clubs and 24/7 happy ending spas) this area hasn't taken off... That is until Bene arrived I heard glowing reviews from this platform and I LOVE Korean BBQ. I starved myself for most of the day just so I could properly enjoy this experience. A friend and I decided to split the beef & pork combo ($119) and we of course got bottle after bottle of deliciously sweet and slightly minacious soju (they have every flavor you can imagine here!!). I know that seems expensive - but you candidly get what you pay for. First, all the sides came out. I'm a true believer in judging a Korean BBQ place's merit by the attention to detail an establishment places on its sides. The accompaniments here were the tastiest I've had out of any KBBQ place I've ever been. Special attention has to be given to the tofu stew - which had such a rich depth of flavor I almost shed a tear. You get 3 salads here and all of them were conscientiously dressed and varied in both texture and flavor profiles, creating a gradient from slightly bitter to moderately sweet. These salads provided an excellent caesura between copious amounts of meat eating. Now to the headliner - THE MEAT. I said previously you get what you pay for here. The $120 combo left me breathless in terms of both the variety and quality of the meat (and matsutake mushrooms!!) This is honestly one of the first times I walked away from a KBBQ experience and felt blissfully satisfied and not like I was hanging on for dear life like a bloated tick. The beef they use was succulent and lean (not the cheap stuff that's speckled in fat and tendon that you'll get at those $45 AYCE places). The pork belly almost brought me to my knees in a state of either intense prayer or passionate lust. Since we're in the Lindbergh / Cheshire Bridge neighborhood, it was probably the latter. Bene is a destination restaurant in one of the most convenient areas to get to in all of metro Atlanta. I urge everyone to visit this sanctuary of meat and Soju. read more

Grade = B+ We went for lunch and selected the $49.99 all-you-can eat option, which includes a wide variety of beef, pork, and chicken cuts. While not spectacular, Bene delivered a good experience. The BBQ was well seasoned and flavorful, and the sides were fairly abundant. Their ambiance is modern and stylish, and the service was courteous. Our favorite option in the all-you-can-eat menu was the fruit-infused Bulgogi. Very good! We were only disappointed by the one extra appetizer we ordered - their Korean Fried Chicken (sweet soy option). Bland and nothing special. Ultimately it was good value for money - before tipping, we paid $125 for a two-person meal (AYCE for 2, one extra appetizer, only water, no alcohol or dessert). read more

My 10 yr old wants to give it 6 stars even though he knows it's it possible. The enthusiasm from him is overwhelming and I'd ask him to stop but he's got some solid points. The service here is amazing. They go above and beyond to ensure the experience is top notch. Shout out to the entire team. The quality of meat is great it's by far the best Korean BBQ inside the perimeter. The others inside of Atlanta usually struggle with quality of meat and quality of side dishes. The prices are definitely higher than other bbq spots but it is in the city the atmosphere is much more upscale and the service is much more attentive. My kid says it's definitely worth the money as he walked to the bathroom as the check was dropped (cheap ass). The fact that they have a full bar now is nice and will definitely start to draw more people to the Korean bbq world. Lindbergh is headed in a nice direction. Little fancy Buford highway in the city. read more

I think I was the first customer this place had. I love Korean BBQ, and I waited around a year for this place to open up. Good long wait. Was it worth it? Well, the service was excellent. Very eager to please. The food was tasty, but I could only order a few apps rather than the repast I had my heart set on. Even as a foody fan of the cuisine, I can't really see me being a regular. It is exhorbitantly expensive. I think the cheapest BBQ offering was $120, and the high emd goes past $300. That kind of flat pricing will not work here. To survive, this restaurant has to adjust its model. Charge by the plate or by the head. This will accommodate curious walk-ins rather than scare them away. Also, have more diverse offerings. Finally, push the liquor and accept that it is the real money-maker in a joint like this, with the BBQ being something of a loss leader. Lots of luck to this establishment. I hope they can pivot. read more

Bene is located on Main Street in Buckhead, next door to 26 Thai, Bene will be one of the many new restaurants coming to this block, maybe a new restaurant row. Walking into Bene you are immediately impressed with the size and the elegant surroundings. It had a dark but inviting atmosphere. The place is new so not crowded, we had the owner help with our choices for dinner. Korean BBQ, is cooked in front of you on your own private table. We had the beef and pork offerings. Everything was tasty, we also had a good bottle of wine at a reasonable price, no gauging!!!. We had a party of four, and everyone left satisfied. Definitely will return!! read more

Why this restaurant is not packed every day with a waiting line is completely baffling. This is the real deal. Very high quality galbi and steak grilled in front of you. Three different salads as part of the small side dishes (ban chan), classic kimchi everything meticulously prepared and thoughtfully presented at very reasonable prices. The interior is very clean and modern. Their interesting choices of large photos of Korea is so different from the garish beer and soju poster decor of lesser spots. We are not novices at Korean cuisine. My wife is a very hard to please Korean and and we frequent top Korean restaurants in LA and Orange County, California. BENE would easily be a top tier restaurant in our hometown. You have a real gem. Come here and experience an authentic Korean meal. read more

The food was very fresh and the meat selection had a lot of different variety. The service was okay but our waiter burned our meat slightly at the start and it was a bit charred. I also wish that they marinated the meat a bit more because for the 2-3 people beef set, only 1-2 meats were marinated and the others tasted a bit plain even with the sauce because there was no flavor inside. The 2-3 set is enough for the 4 of us and we also enjoyed the sides. read more

Bene Korean BBQ - Bulgogi, fried rice, cheese corn and galbi. - Korean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

It's a pretty space and staff were all nice. Came at 1:00 on a Wednesday.... There were two ladies lunching on BBQ... and me (solo). In the entire restaurant. That must seat 200. Gosh, I so hope they make it! The restaurant is located sort of between Buckhead and midtown (according to my server when I asked) --- in an area the developers are trying to brand Uptown. There is no on street parking. There is ample parking in several parking structures including the one attached to the restaurant --- the first 20 minutes are free and then it's $2 for the first hour. They don't validate parking so it's a good thing the rates are low. I had the galbi lunch box --- in the last month the price has gone up $2 (I'm going to add a picture of the menu for reference) but I'm not mad about that because $20.99 is more than fair for what I received. The quality of the meat was top notch and all the flavors were fresh and bright on the tray. 20 minutes into my visit two men came in, but the luncheon ladies left so there's still just the three of us here. I'm giving four stars because five is rare --- it's a good solid rating from me and high praise for quality/taste of food, ambiance of space, and gracious service. Come give this place a try -- I think most will enjoy it! read more

Came here on our anniversary and it was a worthy occasion. The service was spot on and no stone was left unturned. Most K-pot places rely on the quality of ingredients and not seasoning the layers.

Stopped into Bene for dinner while in town. We noticed it was a new Korean Steakhouse and read about the quality of the food so we were excited to check it out. Allen greeted us enthusiastically and explained the menu thoroughly. It is on the pricier end, but if you're a person who enjoys quality meat, you'll be very happy! We chose the beef set for 2 people. It comes with 6 different beef styles. We also ordered the dol soy rice, buckwheat noodles, corn cheese, kimchi fried rice, and the soybean soup. They also include an unlimited selection of salads, fermented veggies, and kimchi. It felt like a full banquet for two queens! We thoroughly enjoyed every second of the experience and food. The staff cooks the meat for you and are always ready to replace the items that are unlimited (the meat is not unlimited). The ambiance is sexy, romantic, and the restaurant was very spacious with a full bar (they are awaiting approval for their liquor license). I love Korean bbq, but this was definitely a step above the regular experience. It's a great place to celebrate something special or go on a date. read more

The ambience was beautiful, clean, and classy. The food was delicious and authentic and high quality. But the price was more than reasonable. Service was great. The galbi lunch set was really good. Loved the smoky flavor in the grilled marinated ribeye. The veggie side dishes balanced very well with the ribeye. We also got the galbi tang lunch set, which has the bone-in ribeye broth and stone bowl rice. After we scouped the rice from the stone bowl, the server poured hot water to get the crusty rice at the bottom of the bowl which added another layer of flavor to the rice. The soup had depth and seasoned perfectly. It really hit the spot on a windy, cloudy day. We will definitely be back to try some of their BBQ ribeye and tomahawk steak. read more
