    Extreme Hot Sweet Chili wings
    Rosalyn L.

    I decided to try this place after seeing other Yelp reviews. Service was great upon walking in and placing my order but after I sat down and got my food, it was non existent. The restaurant is nice. It has a covered patio, booths, and high chairs to sit and dine. There is a bar where you can walk up (no seating) and order a drink. There is two tvs playing Korean media. You order food at the front counter and then sit anywhere and they will bring it to you. I ordered the bulgogi friend rice and extreme heat chili boneless wings with a sweet tea. I found a booth to sit at and the bulgogi fried rice came out and the boneless wings shortly after. Bulgogi rice was really good and filling. The boneless wings were huge and looked more like chicken strips. Although the wings were supposed to be extra hot, they were not too hot and were decetant. There were some pieces of potato's included in the wings that were undercooked. Other guests had to constantly go up to the counter to request refills, condiments, etc so I don't think they wait on you. Then again, the two people behind the counter were young so maybe they were supposed to but didn't. Just keep this in mind when including a tip up front or just bring cash. If I'm ever in the area, I will definitely be back to try other menu items. The food was great!

    Kimchi-Cheese Omurice @tiffhuangry

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I've been here a number of times by now, and I've always had a 5-star experience...except for today. First of all, it seemed that they did away with waitresses, so now, you have to go up to the counter to order your food. Oh Well...I ordered Sweet Soy Garlic Chicken, Spicy Bulgogi Kimbop and Kimchi. They brought out the Kimbop and Kimchi first...since the Chicken plate took longer (double fried). Well, the Kimbop was cold...and I also really wanted to eat it with the Chicken, so I went back up to the counter and asked them to reheat it, and bring it with my Chicken order. I really hoped that I could have just asked the waitress to bring back the plate of Kimbop...but I had to walk up to the counter for this request. Also, there was no condiments on the table (like before). I had to walk up to the counter to request this as well. Also, the Kimchi was really bad! Although I appreciated the generosity (a HUGE portion of Kimchi), but it tasted terrible! It just wasn't fully seasoned ...and I could barely eat it. I don't recall ever having such bad Kimchi from this restaurant in the past, so don't know what happened? I almost had half a mind to walk back up to the counter (3 times?!?), but decided to let it go. ANYWAY, when they finally brought back my heated Kimbop with the Chicken order, things got better. First of all, once heated, the Kimbop tasted great! The Fried Chicken was beyond great...it was unbelievably delish! SO doubly crispy, fried and flavored...OMG! Then, it was topped off with some super-tasty Sweet Potatoes. LOVED this!! So obviously, the Chicken was the big winner for me...though the Kimbop was quite good as well. I would have loved to have dropped another 5-star review, but things were a bit amiss today... Bad Kimchi, Cold Kimbop, No Waitress/Service. Luckily, I really loved the Kimbop and the Chicken dishes...so that saved what could have been less than 3 stars. Hopefully things will swing back up on my next visit??

    Awesome customer service.

    Over the holidays, I tried out 985 BBQ on a Saturday around lunch time. 985 BBQ overtook an old…read moreGolden Corral location so the interior is very open and spacious. 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. Ordering online was quick and painless, with clear tracking that let me know exactly when to leave the house. 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. It's worth the drive, they have about 15-16 grill tables so try to plan ahead! Support small owned businesses!!!
