What can I say? I'm a sucker for consistency and good value. Kang's kitchen is one of the few places that gives you beef as (3-tiers of) AYCE option if you're opting for that instead of the platters / à la carte. This review will be an accumulation of the (min. 5) visits. Food is a definite hit! The marinade and the attention to detail at which your server will cook your food table-side is spectacular. I've had both the platters and AYCE (S/P Tier) and found that you cannot go wrong with either depending on your appetite! There is a vast selection to choose from and I have never encountered anything that I disliked. Everything is well put together. Service is great as there is always a rotation of servers who would glance and assess the table as they do rounds. Attention to detail is second to none here. I had the pleasure of having both Danielle and Brandon in today's dining experience but everyone does well. The setting inside has a rustic / romantic touch to it. There are a few screens / projections of sports to give a bit of character. They aren't everywhere or in the general view so it's subtle. Overall, my partner and I enjoy coming to Kang's kitchen for the dining experience. I am confident that it'll be the same for any other patrons.
Short version: Kang's Kitchen BBQ Duluth (강식당) is yet another great Korean barbecue restaurant in Gwinnett County. For us, the quality of both the beef and banchan was outstanding and service was good. My only gripe is the portions could've been bigger for the combo we got. That said, they do offer all you can eat (AYCE), though you'll miss out on some of their best meats like the marinated galbi (my favorite) and prime rib. If you value good-quality beef, I recommend this place. Long version: Kang's Kitchen opened on April 22, 2023. Wall art in the back says the business was established in 1997. I asked an employee about this and he said this is a brand from South Korea. As far as I can tell, this is the only "Kang's Kitchen" in the US. There's also sister restaurant, Kang's Table (강스테이블), on Peachtree Industrial Blvd. Kang's Kitchen is located in Pleasant Hill Square, a shopping center that has changed a lot over the years. Gone are big-box stores like Staples, JCPenney, Old Navy, Toys"R"Us, and Barnes & Noble. In are Asian restaurants like Canton House, Kang's Kitchen, Chung Ki Wa Korean BBQ, and Gohan AYCE Buffet. As locals know, the Pleasant Hill Rd area is filled with all kinds of Korean restaurants, from barbecue to bossam (boiled pork). What sets Kang's Kitchen apart? I can think of a few nuances: 1. Meat quality. We had the Beef Combination for 4 ($179.99) and the quality was top notch. In terms of meat quality, I put Kang's Kitchen in the upper tier of Korean barbecue restaurants in metro Atlanta. 2. Banchan quality. The banchan (side dishes) was consistently superb, all around. The selection was on par with some of the best Korean restaurants around town. That said, Kang's Kitchen has one of the better banchan selections. For example, we got mul kimchi (water kimchi), which I don't recall seeing anywhere else. 3. Charcoal downdraft grills. Our server told us that there's only one other place in the area that has charcoal downdraft grills. Other places either have gas downdraft grills or grills with height-adjustable exhaust hoods. In recent years, newer Korean barbecue restaurants in metro Atlanta have done a better job at managing ventilation. Therefore, leaving a restaurant smelling like smoke isn't as much of an issue these days. As far as charcoal vs gas, charcoal is better. Korean barbecue cooked on charcoal grills tastes better because the flavor is smokier. The smoke permeates the meat. Also, there's an extra bit of crispiness and char on the outside of the meat thanks to the hotter-burning charcoal. 4. Space. The dining room is big, airy, and still relatively new and nice (furniture, etc. still in good condition). I think this is one of the bigger Korean barbecue restaurants in metro Atlanta in terms of number of grills (I guesstimate 50+) and seats. This place should handle multiple large groups easily. You can call and make reservations, but I don't think it's necessary unless you have a really large party. There were plenty of open tables for the duration of our visit, which was around 5-7pm this past Sunday. They brought out a highchair for the toddler and set up the banchan before calling us to our table. Here's the banchan we got: * Kimchi * Pickled red onion * Ssam mu - pickled radish wraps, beet variety (pink color) * Garden salad with romaine lettuce, carrots, red cabbage, and tomato * Gamja salad - Korean-style potato salad * Pa muchim - scallion salad with sauce made from gochugaru (Korean chili pepper) * Mul kimchi - with ingredients like daikon * Jangajji - soy sauce pickles (jalapeno, white onion, daikon) * Japchae - glass noodles * Gyeran-jjim - steamed eggs * Doenjang-jjigae - soybean paste stew * Corn cheese x4 ($5.99 each, extra) - we ordered these Here's what our combo came with, in order, all cooked at the table by our staff: * Brisket * Ribeye - Grill swapped from pan to mesh * Rib fingers (marinated and unmarinated) * Prime rib * Marinated galbi (short ribs) * Marinated cube steak To finish: * Chapagetti instant noodles (jajangmyeon) To drink: * Makgeolli ($14.99 per bottle) - Korean rice wine, Kook Soon Dang Draft Everything was fantastic. The kimchi was particularly delicious. We asked for seconds on the kimchi and other items and they restocked us with generous portions. The corn cheese had to be ordered separately, but was worth it. The gyeran-jjim, doenjang-jjigae, and corn cheese came out hot and fresh and were among the best I've had. As far as the beef, it was all terrific. I highly recommend both the marinated galbi and prime rib. The marbling, flavor, and texture were perfect. The other meats were excellent too and, generally, beat most of the same types of meats at other Korean barbecue restaurants around town. I especially enjoyed the rib fingers and cube steak. Condiments included galbi sauce with wasabi, ssamjang (spicy fermented soybean paste), and salt and pepper mix. We had to request sesame oil, which came in a squeeze bottle.
Kang's Kitchen is a high quality KBBQ restaurant. The interior is pretty modern and there is a smoke-free ventilation system to reduce the smell of grilled meat on you at KBBQ. It is located in a plaza so there is definitely parking available at all times. In terms of service, the food came out quickly and my server was very attentive. Honestly, I thought they were almost too attentive at times because they grill the food for you so sometimes, they were just standing near the table, waiting for an opportunity to complete their job. But I get why they did it. We ordered the Combination for 2 (Beef & Pork) and Corn Cheese. The beef and pork combination came out on a beautiful platter! I got full quickly so I really only ate the beef brisket and pork belly as they were cooked first, but they were yummy. Especially the pork belly! It was the right kind of tender, meatiness, and fattiness. The Combination for 2 also came with a steamed egg which was delicious! It tasted like it had cheese in it, which made it more savory. I thought that the corn cheese was just alright, it seemed like there was mayonnaise in it? Or the cheese was very runny at the bottom of the dish, so it kind of turned me off. I did not have a chance to eat much of the sides because again I got full from the meat, but I had the kimchi which was nice. Overall, I left Kang's Kitchen feeling full and content!
This is my first time going to a KBBQ spot and I don't have to worry if my clothes or hair will smell like KBBQ for the rest of the day! Inside is super cute, the banchan is really good. The meat quality here is great! We ordered a combo meat plate (beef and pork enough for 4ppl?) and it was so good! The server would come help us cook the food which was great. Afterwards, they offer a dish at the end and we chose noodles. If you are wearing white, you can ask for an apron!
Nice Korean BBQ restaurant! The food was good. The meat quality is on par with other high end kbbq joints in the area. They served a decent number of different side dishes. The wait staff was helpful. They made sure our side dishes were refilled and helped cook the meat. They even include ice cream and slushies with the meal. The only negatives is the restaurant was very cold when we went. Also, depending on what you like, not being able to cook your own food at Korean bbq can be a turn off for some.
Oh wow. I hate to write this. This is one of my favorite Korean bbq in ATL. They have the best kimchi and are not stingy about refilling banchan. The staff is amazing. And the ssamjang sauce is on point. So this review is just last visit. Last night was horrible. I don't know what was going on but pieces of some meat were not cooked (had to put back on grill because raw), and then strips of beef were completely burnt/charred on one side. The first time- he replaced the meat, the second time, he just cut off the charred parts. The egg was ok. The rest of the dinner was fine as usual. The service is friendly and nice. The banchans were good and kimchi was great. They also bring plenty of radish wraps and fresh lettuce. But really...the cooking of the food was the issue last night. Dinner for three so ordered beef combo for 4. Plenty of food. Hoping yesterday was just an off night. But usually, this place is good. I usually recommend for Korean bbq. Meat quality is good, kimchi is great and I like their ssamjang sauce.
With so many kbbq options in Duluth, this place is just as good as other places. It's not quite as popular as the OG spots, but service is more attentive here. I love the ventilation system here! I usually smell like kbbq afterwards, but the smell did not stick to my clothes or hair. They have good side dishes, but the steamed egg does have cheese.. just a heads up. Really clean interior with a wide range of options whether you want AYCE or Combination.
I stopped in for a super-late lunch...and luckily, they were still serving lunch special at around 2 pm. First of all, I was very impressed with the decor and ambiance. The place had a very elegant, yet cozy vibe...and I even liked the Korean elevator music (that is, piano lounge music). Anyway, I chose their Marinated Short Rib lunch special, which came with Tofu plus Beef or Seafood Stew. As expected from all Korean restaurants, on came a slew of complimentary sides...and I especially loved how Japchae was included here! The only side that I couldn't eat was their regular Kimchi (not fully seasoned...thus very sour tasting)...however, they had these tasty squared Kimchi, so not a problem. The lunch plate had a lot of stuff on it. It even included a bread roll (??), which I found very random. I liked all the other sides that came with it...but here's the thing that just wasn't right. The main attraction of the dish, the Short Rib, was smothered down with veggies (why so much Onions??)...so I could barely see it! Huh?? I thought the presentation was a bit ruined...since the main staple was nearly hidden. I guess I would have wanted more short rib...versus all the random veggies on this plate. As for the short rib itself, it wasn't too tender...nor as marinated as I had anticipated. The lunch plate was good, but just not as great as I wanted it to be. Too much veggies and sides...not enough quality meat...and again, the presentation was just odd (see picture!) However, the Tofu-Seafood Stew was really good...and so was all the complimentary sides (minus the sour Kimchi). Service was really good. Since I came during the off hours, I didn't see any waiters...just the server and the host/manager/owner (??). Still, my foods were delivered super-quickly, and I was well attended to throughout my meal. Overall, I enjoyed checking out this relatively shiny, new restaurant...and I wouldn't mind returning to try their KBBQ. Not sure if I'd ever choose their veggie-heavy lunch platters though.
Stopped on a Friday for lunch! I love this Korean bbq spot that offers lunch as well. The entire staff here is amazing and friendly. I ordered the brisket soy bean paste soup and pasta! The food came out pretty quick as well if you only have 1 hour for lunch! The pasta is sooo creamy and delicious! Stop by and support ! Ask for Andrew for top tier service The manager is amazing as well!
It seems I have the unpopular opinion of Kang's Kitchen, but I wasn't very impressed on my visit here. My brother was in town visiting so I told him about this high quality KBBQ place I had been hearing about, so we went to try it before I had to go to work one night. Upon arrival, I had great first impressions. Very clean, spacious restaurant, and not crowded at all. It doesn't smell smoky in here nor does it make you smell smoky. The tables are small so our group was split into 2 side by side tables for 7 people. The meat quality does look good, but after eating, I can't say I notice that it tastes much different than another KBBQ place in Duluth. The menu had various options, but I didn't get to try many of the meats. I actually only got to try 4 different kinds which brings me to my biggest complaint of Kang's. They do all the cooking for you, and it's actually quite slow. They don't allow you to order your meats ahead of time. I knew I only had an hour to eat because I needed to leave early for work, so my family tried to prioritize giving me more meat first when we realized they wouldn't let us order our next meats until the current one on the grill FINISHED cooking. They change our the grill in between every meat, which is nice because then you're not eating burnt meat BUT it's a flaw because it slows everything down as you're waiting for the grill change and for the new plate to warm up to cook the next meat. They strategically don't even bring you your next plate of meat after you order either but place it on a different table so you can't just add the meat to the grill yourself when you're ready for more. That being said, it takes a decent amount of time in between orders with waiting for the meat to be prepped, changing out the grill plate, letting it warm up, THEN actually cooking the meat. If you have time to kill and want to socialize, sure why not? But you'll also get full fast with all that wait time and not get to eat much. I found myself having to eat sides like egg, 2 bowls of rice, and a soup to fill myself up because I just didn't get enough meat to eat before I had to go. The portions they give you at once also isn't a lot so it's disappointing having to keep waiting for more. But wait time aside, it was a good meal. I just don't think I can justify it for the price that they charge. I can't remember exactly but I believe it was over $50 per person. I'll stick to one of my other usual places instead, but I'm glad I at least gave Kang's a shot.
Newer kbbq spot that has built-in ventilation for the smoke inside the table itself instead of it being above it. The meat quality is on par with the other kbbq spots nearby and the selection is about the same. Good number of side dishes as well. Price wise is about the same I would say too especially for the combos. They do offer a somewhat affordable steak and lobster comba which I didn't get the chance to try out as I went for the all beef combo for 2 instead was was pretty good in my opinion. Good service as well and the griller does a great job of attending to you and also changing out the grills for specific types of meat. Definitely worth checking out for all you kbbq lovers out there.
I had a great experience at Kang's Kitchen and would definitely recommend it. I would like to give you one tip. Take your time with the meat. The doenjang stew and steamed egg come out a bit later, so it's worth pacing yourself to enjoy everything together. The water naengmyeon paired really well with the BBQ; such a refreshing and balanced combination. All the side dishes, including the kimchi, were flavorful and well-prepared. The portion of meat felt slightly on the lighter side, but the quality more than made up for it. You can tell they focus on good ingredients. We didn't interact much with our server, but when they came to grill the meat at our table, they explained everything with a warm smile, which made the experience feel welcoming and thoughtful. After your meal, I highly recommend stopping by the bar area. This restaurant offers complimentary soft serve ice cream or slushies, which was a really nice touch to end the meal. The interior also has a great atmosphere for a date; cozy, clean, and nicely designed. Overall, a very enjoyable dining experience. I'll definitely be back! read more

I had high expectations since they use charcoal but everything was just ok at best. 3.5 - marinated galbi: well seasoned and tender but not the high end cut. 3 - pork belly: meat was a bit tuff and nothing special. It's the same as the store bought cut. 2 - miso soup was extremely salty and inedible and the jopchae was very oily 4 - service was very good and charcoal is a plus but didn't make up for the meat quality. read more

Pretty good. My favorite is still 770 kbbq but this is definitely better than Iron Age and chubby cattle in my opinion. All you can eat ranges from 50-80 dollars or you can do a la cart which is what I did. read more

Good service as well and the griller does a great job of attending to you and also changing out the grills for specific types of meat. Definitely worth checking out for all you kbbq lovers out there. read more
Excellent Korean barbecue restaurant in Duluth. With a lot of kbbq restaurants currently raising prices all over for mediocre meat, Kangs barbecue sets the bar for quality meat for the price you pay. There is no unlimited option at this restaurant instead, you have portioned sets for a party of two or four. The menu also includes different cuts of meat that you can order from as well. We got the beef/pork set for two which came with a side of Korean soybean soup, steamed egg, side dishes and your choice of kimchi fried rice, ramyun or chappagetti (korean instant black bean noodles). For $99 the quality is very good and the food is very delicious. Service was excellent and the restaurant itself is extremely spacious. Makes you feel like you're dining at a high end restaurant. Definitely will be back and try the other set menus. read more

Kang's! You have my heart now. I was craving Korean BBQ, and randomly found this place on Yelp. It's not always easy to find a Korean BBQ that includes chicken on the menu since I don't eat red meat. I called the restaurant beforehand to make sure they have chicken, and off we headed once it was verified. This place is sooo cute! It's super clean inside and the service we had was fantastic. The sides were all super good, in face I ate two kimchi and three japchae. I also polished off my spicy chicken. The chicken was not super spicy but had really good flavor. My boyfriend got the beef brisket which he also said was marinated well and tasted great. I had no fatty pieces in my chicken, and it was cooked to perfection, not dry at all! You can also choose from other meats, ribeye, short rib, pork belly, rib finger, lobster, shrimp, spicy squid, bulgogi. They even have beef tartare. Lunch or dinner they've got you covered. You can get AYCE or you can get one meat selection and we opted for the latter which was plenty of food for the both of us. I felt the prices for one meat selection were pretty on par for a Korean BBQ. The ambience, service, and food were all on point. Great for a date night and great for large groups. I definitely plan on heading back here soon. Hope I can spread the word so they can continue to thrive. read more
Lots of space, they cook everything for you. The portion/serving sizes for the combination sets seemed small. For 5 people we got the combination set for 4 and added on a brisket, still left not completely full. The side dishes were good, lots of kimchi options including white kimchi, fresh traditional kimchi, water kimchi. All the combos come with your choice of spicy radish bibimbap, spicy radish chapaghetti, or spicy radish ramen after the meat. We got the bibimbap, not bad! Combination set for 4 (beef & pork, $159.99): marinated galbi (short rib), beef brisket, rib finger, marinated rib finger, pork belly, pork neck, marinated pork neck. Personally, the beef was much better than the pork. Not sure what it was, but even the regular pork belly was a bit different - wasn't crisping up. The soybean soup it came with was solid, but there was some spice in the steamed egg that wasn't particularly right for my palette. Not sure what it was. Glad I finally got to try this place. Would opt for the beef more than the pork read more

Korean BBQ itch scratched from the inside out! The food just kept coming! We walked in at 6pm on a Tuesday and were sat immediately. They have smaller tables as well as large party seating in their big open, beautiful space. They also have free parking and a large open space and bar to sit at if you should so desire. The moment we sat down our table was laden with an assortment of soups, sauces, spices and other small plates to pair with our meats such as kimchi, eggs, shredded green onions etc. We also had a personal vase filled with water to pour freely into our cups. We did the unlimited which is $50 per person, but you get all of the meats in any order that you want them. Honorable metion, YOU CANNOT TAKE ANYTHING TOGO when you order unlimited... STUFFED is an understatement. I think I had to go pray, because the level of food consumed was nothing short of gluttonous. Each time a meat selection came out, our waiter was there to cook them over the flame. Even though I was too greedy to wait and would sneak a good medium temp piece off with my chopsticks, they were cooking the meat and putting it aside on a plate for us to take when it was ready and safe to eat :). The reason they are 4* and not 5* is because of the lack of explanation for what was laid out before us on the table. I had no idea what I was eating sometimes lol. But I tried everything! I also have no allergies so it really didn't bother me, but I think I annoyed the server asking what each thing was. lol like Bruh I am not Korean! You come to a soul food restaurant and I GOT YOU! lol! The server was also a little dry. He did his job though with as little interaction as possible. I feel like if you are going to be reaching over me and in my space 60% of the meal at least be a little sociable sheesh. Some people might actually prefer the be seen and not heard approach. But, everyone around us was smiling and laughing (Shrugs). At the end of the day. I'd go back and reccomend you try it. (Order the meats that are marinated or spicy is my suggestion). It seemed unfair to have this place next door to another Korean BBQ place lol just saying. read more
Good KBBQ at a fairly new restaurant off of Pleasant Hill Rd that has a cool vibe. Same business partners from 678 and K Factory. We ordered beef & pork combo for two. Very good quality meat, great service, and tasty side dishes especially the kimchi. Alan, our server, did a great job grilling the meat to perfection. Service includes steamed egg, soybean paste stew, and kimchi fried rice. read more

Pros: Kang's Kitchen is a really nice spot to enjoy KBBQ if you're looking for a modern space with a quieter atmosphere. We enjoyed that we could have a conversation here without raising our voices and it makes for a great dinner date. The inside is very well-kept and the style is modern. They make sure you're taken care of by seating you immediately and one person is always available to answer questions or accommodate your requests. Cons: I will concur with other reviewers that they strongly discourage you from choosing the AYCE option, and that bothered me. If you have an option on the menu, it should be available and you shouldn't make suggestions for something else. The customer is always right, no? The experience we had trying to do AYCE and getting turned down (!) is the only reason I removed one star. For anyone not from the area, most KBBQ places here will cook for you (not DIY) so just keep that in mind for gratuity. We were surprised to find that someone stood there and cooked our meat for us, but it was a nice change! Overall I would return, if they would allow us to do AYCE as we requested. read more
We wanted to try a different korean bbq restaurant beside 678 and EMbop, Kang's kitchen is spacious and has fun decorations. They also have a full bar for the alcoholic lover. Now the meat quality didn't seem like it was better than 678. I still prefer 678 for the meat quality. The banchans were comparable to k-factory. They didn't have the special dipping sauce - kang gun jang - like at 678. They do have charcoal grill here. But they will light the fire at the table so you have to wait a lil bit before cooking. The cent is right above the grill so you won't smell like bbq after you leave. When the charcoal runs low, they dont have someone to bring hot charcoal to refill. But instead we have to pause everything and they have to re-light the fire for us which is very inconvenient. This is another reason I like 678 better. Service wise, they are really good at making sure your table has everything you asked for. read more

Very nice ambiance and fancy inside. there's a really nice bar but i didn't see anyone sitting there as everyone was doing kbbp. We opted for the combo for 4 but the 3 of us finished it with no problem. At the price point of $160 for the 4 person combo, it was quite pricey. I would suggest the $50 AYCE option instead. Service was very not great, our server was not attentive and had a bit of attitude... read more
A group of us wanted to try out this place since we drove past it everyday. I love that it had ample parking and the inside was huge, nice, and CLEAN. Our server was Brian and he was excellent! He's super friendly and attentive. We got the platter for 4 people although we had 5 in our party and it was perfect. Everything was delicious! I was very pleased and have to say this is one of my favorite Korean BBQ thus far. Highly recommend!!! read more

I tried kangs whilst passing through Duluth. I thought the customer service was Superb. Really 10/10. The food was good. I tried lunch, thus it wasn't the BBQ, I feel the BBQ would have been even more of a hit considering the cuts. I also think it's a great value for your money. For food I ordered the lunch Steak. Came with a ton of sides, & Banchan. The potatoe salad was really good. I'd definitely return & try the BBQ. The ambiance was nice, chilled, & spacious. read more
Oh my dear David. You are the true gateway to the best Korean BBQ in the suburbs! This is our second time here and we had no sickness the first go round. My wife has celiac disease and I have Severe gluten intolerance. David answered the phone the first time around, and then served us last time. Today he also saw us, and took it upon himself to see us and service. There are a couple of the sides we cannot have like the noodles, they look like rice noodles, but are marinated in soy sauce. All the kimchi was amazing and we did not do the egg soufflé because they use a little bit of soy sauce and put cheese That's OK because the ribeye we got along with the Brisket, which is already sliced thin, and it was perfect. We called a couple other places around the area since there are so many Korean barbecue places, but nobody could answer the questions properly and un marinated meat selection was so much better here. This place is amazing come here you will love it. read more
I'd give this place 10 stars if I could. Came here from Nashville while visiting Atlanta with family and it was the highlight of our trip. The interior is incredibly clean and welcoming. Wasn't too crowded when we came for lunch. They had a very generous selection of Korean appetizers, including salad, potato mash, radish, and jap chae. We got the 2-person beef combo which was enough for 3 people. It came with many (I think around 5?) kinds of beef which are cooked in front of you. The service was excellent, and we felt incredibly taken care of. We also tried a side of their Tteokbokki (spicy rice cake) which was nice and chewy. All in one of the best meals I've had in town. read more

This place is solid! The pictures are enough said! Great high quality and fresh meat. The combo set was shared between the four of us and it was filling ! The meats were fresh tasting and the cuts included in the set was worth it. The presentation of the food and the place itself was amazing. Great service as well. The server kept refilling the side dishes for us as well. There also isn't the typical bbq smell on your clothes and hair after you leave this place. Even though this place is still fairly new, I think it might beat out the og spots. The cold noodles here were good as well! read more
