    Kimchi-Cheese Omurice @tiffhuangry
    Tiff H.

    I'm not usually in Buford but on a random weeknight, we decided to drive up to check out Danji. It was cold and rainy outside so the restaurant wasn't super busy but a girl's gotta eat. We ordered the dumpling ramen (I would consider this Korean ramyun versus Japanese ramen so don't be mistaken or feel misled), the squid kimbob and the kimchi-cheese omurice. Chose not to get the spicy squid kimbob since it showed 4 chili peppers next to the name versus 2 next to the plain squid kimbob. Solid comfort meal attained. Everything was solid - although I wouldn't say it was the best of anything I've ever tried in Atlanta. I love Danmooji's kimchi cheese omurice slightly more. I found the ramyun to be a little pricey for what it was. Duluth has a ton of options, but I'm sure Danji is the best you're going to find in Buford (at least for now!) definitely a great spot if you're craving some solid Korean snacks.

    House Salad with dressing on the side, Spicy Squid Kimbob, Steamed Rice (extra charge)
    Rebecca H.

    Server was being difficult with replacing any omurice options with white rice instead of fried rice. The menu says fried rice can be replaced with white rice, but I guess that's not the case. Everything else tasted good- the spicy squid kimbob was really spicy. When dipped in tteokkbokki sauce, it neutralized the spicy flavor. House salad was good, and the dressing was great with it. Seating is comfortable.

    Bulgogi Kimbap
    Sanilie F.

    I ordered dinner for my family and I earlier this week. Huge regret. The food was unseasoned and tasteless. Ordered rice pops, shrimp fried rice, 1/2 chicken with hot sauce (they gave us another kind), kimbap and two lemonades. The only thing that tasted good were the two lemonades. Chicken was so unseasoned, the shrimp in the fried rice was boiled and not sautéed, rice pops and kimbap were also disappointing. I only went because the rice pops look so delicious in the pictures on here but they were a huge disappointment. We won't be ordering from here again. Also, parking is such a hassle.

    Extreme Spicy 1/2 Chicken
    Correy E.

    We ordered 1/2 chicken with the spicy sauce, 7 piece wings with hot lemon pepper and shrimp fried rice. The food was great and what more can I say!!! The place was clean and the service was good. All this made for an enjoyable experience.

    Sweet Chili 1/2 Chicken
    Andrew T.

    This place's food is so good! Despite how busy it was during a Saturday dinner rush, the staff were very quick on their feet and super helpful. Food came out great and everyone loved their portion sizes. Overall the space and interior is nice to dine in, and the plating makes you mouth water as they bring out your food. The sweet chili half chicken had a nice sweetness to it. The crunchiness from the chicken is satisfying. Definitely coming back!

    Dumpling Ramen
    Leilani S.

    not a bad restaurant, just not the best ramen. very oily and bland. they have a good amount of offerings, but the dumpling ramen left something to be desired. nothing I would go out of my way to try again. the egg added onto the ramen had a bad taste to it, almost like wet dog. not like the typical marinated egg you could expect to get with ramen.

    Lunch special with fried rice and chicken breast in honey BBQ. Comes with corn cheese, salad, and fried potatoes.
    Ginny D.

    The fried rice was absolutely delicious! I ordered at the register. The soda machine is behind the counter, so someone else filled my glass with ice water and placed it on a table for me. (I didn't need a refill, but I assume if you do, you just ask for more drink.) They have TVs playing Korean shows with closed captioning in English. They also play upbeat Korean music. I didn't know that the lunch special also included fried potatoes. A very filling, delicious meal! Next time I will have to try it with waffle instead of fried rice, or try one of their other dishes. Also, someone else buses the table, so it was nice to leave my dishes on the table.

    Chicken legs that Danji is offering.
    Clarice J.

    I always loved their wings last night. I went on DoorDash to order the wings and the wings are no longer there. There was chicken legs or half a chicken. I opted for the chicken legs and was I disappointed!!! Looks like my daughter fry the legs and the chicken was mostly hard. Very dissatisfied customer, I really wish you would go back to the wings.

    Awesome customer service.

    They used to be so good, now good luck getting any meat off the fried chicken, the need to rename it fried chicken bones. They forget to give you drinks and silverware, no extra plates for appetizers, they do not know their own menus. I asked for honey bbq chicken, they told me they don't do that, they couldn't put sauce on the chicken, and I'd need to get honey bbq on the side.... Save your money, it was a $50 dollar lesson for us. And don't bother asking for anything, their phones are more important than the customers, they act like you are imposing by asking for a knife for their cement chicken special. I am not a complainer, look at my review history, nothing but 5 star reviews.

    Bulgogi Rice Ball
    Ashley S.

    I wish I lived closer to this establishment so I could visit more often. My partner and I found this establishment on Yelp through the excellent reviews. We were looking for a place to stop and grab food on our way to Lake Lanier for a weekend stay. I ordered a Bulgogi rice ball and Tuna fried rice ball. I had never had them before but they were delicious. If I were to order these again I would want to try a Bulgogi fried rice ball. My partner got an order of fried chicken. He LOVED it. The fried rice came in a little skillet. Everyone else in the entire establishment had the combo dish that came with the egg omelet. When we noticed that we thought maybe one of us should got an order for both of us to try. I would definitely suggest others give this place a try. My partner and I definitely were not disappointed.

Instead we got... vibes? Like, actual nice vibes. The place is sleek, modern, and somehow smells like victory and garlic at the same time. Dangerous combination. Service: 10/10, no notes. We never had to wave anyone down for more banchan, which in KBBQ is basically a miracle on par with parting the Red Sea. Food: Oh honey. * Banchan game: Strong. The kimchi was doing backflips on my tongue, the potato salad was creamy crack, the fried rice cakes were so addictive I considered hiding them in my purse. * Meat quality: Top tier. The pork jowl (samgyeopsal) was so fatty and glorious I briefly considered proposing to it. The "Thrill Prime Ribeye" lives up to the hype -- marbled like a Renaissance painting and basically melts. We also tried the garlic soy marinated galbi and I'm still thinking about it during meetings. Rude. * One tiny gripe: The spicy pork bulgogi could've used another punch of heat. My husband (who thinks black pepper is "wild") loved it, but I wanted it to slap me a little harder. Value: Very solid for the quality. $50ish per person all-you-can-eat and we waddled out feeling like we robbed the place. Pro tip: Pace yourself or you'll hit the meat coma wall around round three and start making bad life choices (see: ordering dessert). Atmosphere: Clean, bright, great ventilation (my hair did not smell like a campfire, which is a first in the history of Korean BBQ). They've got K-pop or the tv playing but not at migraine volume, so you can actually hear your dining companions confess their sins between bites. Verdict: Thrill is dangerously good. Buford finally has a KBBQ spot that can hang with the Atlanta heavyweights, and it's somehow less than 10 minutes from the Mall of Georgia (perfect for post-shopping regret eating). Bring stretchy pants, an empty stomach, and friends who won't judge you when you hit the order your 4 round of meats or drinks. We're already plotting our return. My waistline is filing a formal complaint, but I'm ignoring it.

We were happy to find out that the lunch menu applies on the weekends too! $24.99 for lunch and $29.99 for dinner. You can opt for the dinner menu if you want more beef options. Since it was our first visit, we stuck with the lunch and it was more than enough for us. Some of the meats we ordered: - Beef Brisket - Beef Bulgogi - Spicy Beef Bulgogi - Pork Belly - Spicy Pork Belly I enjoyed the beef brisket and pork belly the most. Banchan offered are japchae, corn cheese, kimchi, sesame broccoli, pickled radishes, egg soufflé and rice. Japchae, sesame broccoli and egg soufflé was tasty. I wasn't a fan of the corn cheese as it came out in these little aluminum cups with cheese on top and it's left on the grill until the cheese melts. The service is good. You cook the meat yourselves here, but our server came around to take our orders and change the grills pretty often. 985 also offers a ramen bar for an additional cost at the center of the restaurant. They have a ton of ramen options for you to choose from and various toppings to add a la carte. Overall, it's a decent AYCE KBBQ at a good value. Nowadays, $25 AYCE KBBQ spots are rare and for that price point, I'd consider this a 3.5 rounded up to 4 star.

The moment I said Korean fried chicken, she lit up like I had just announced free dessert for life, so the decision was instantly made.

By the time I pulled up to the window, everything was ready and handed over piping hot, which is honestly the dream when you are picking up food and want maximum crunch preservation. We went with the honey garlic boneless, the soy garlic boneless, and an order of beef dumplings, and the flavors were exactly why this place stays in our regular rotation. The chicken had that signature ultra crisp coating that stays crunchy even after the drive home. Not just crispy, but the kind of crunch you can hear before you taste it. The honey garlic was sweet, savory, and sticky in the best way, coating each piece without turning it soggy. The soy garlic brought a deeper, umami rich flavor that felt balanced and satisfying without being overly salty. The dumplings rounded everything out perfectly. Tender wrappers, flavorful filling, and just the right companion to all that crispy goodness. Everything tasted fresh, hot, and consistent with what we have come to expect. No surprises, no drop in quality, just dependable deliciousness that makes you wonder why you would order fried chicken from anywhere else. Most importantly, my mom was thrilled, and that alone makes this place a Sunday dinner hero. When the food is this good and pickup is this easy, it is hard to argue with tradition.

Plenty of parking here, we got lucky considering it's Saturday and we got one of the last grill tables open. Our server was Isaac, who was helpful and thorough for our questions. We chose to go with one of the combination meals that offered 3 different beef types and 2 pork options. The banchan is excellent here. They have really perfected the dishes they offer which complement the meal nicely. We chose a soup (choice of 3 options) and went with the cheese corn and the egg soufflé as our sides. Shaved onions with a sweet soy vinaigrette, lettuce with a saltier edge, spicy fish cakes, kimchi, jap chae, green onions with bean sprouts and a spicy gochujang based sauce, pickled radish. It's all good. Don't be shy, ask for more. It's literally some of the best I've had. The quality of meat was unmatched. Marinated Beef rib, rib fingers, Unmarinated steak, marinated pork ribs, and unmarinated pork belly. They give 3 different dipping options for the unmarinated meats. Also quite complementary for the meal. The owner, Kyung, was helping out because it was super busy. She was very friendly, and happy to see we came all the way from Cumming to try her restaurant. It was nice to see her taking an interest in the customers and she was super gracious. They have a great team here, and it's clear they want people to have the best possible food and service.
