    My daughter absolutely loves this place. It's always good because we have to cook it lol. Food is fresh service is A1 & you should definitely check it out!

    I went there last night. It was my first time having Korean BBQ and it was such a great experience. We had the Cajun shrimp, chicken dumplings, calamari, short ribs, seasoned chicken, mushrooms and onions, broccoli, spicy radish salad and all tasted great (quite the experience). We ordered another round of Cajun shrimp, calamari and chicken dumplings. We could've done without the kimchi, egg soufflé and corn cheese. It was okay. And the tropical mojito I didn't care for either, but the server was able to add more puree and soda since drink sales were final. The service was good-always checking in and everything was clean.

    What a GREAT MEAL ! Our server CHARLIE was absolutely outstanding in looking out for our needs. 10 STAR SERVICE all the way around.

    Banchan (side dishes) and some of the meats

    K-Pop Korean Barbecue Grill is a standout dining experience that delivers incredible value for your money! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm, lively atmosphere with K-pop on every TV and a menu packed with endless options. The variety of meats and seafood for the grill is impressive, and every bite is fresh, flavorful, and cooked just the way you like it. The side items are equally delicious. The variety of banchan (side dishes) makes every meal feel like a feast! We especially love the kids' menu, which is thoughtfully curated with tasty and appealing options that even the pickiest eaters will enjoy. Who wouldn't like Kraft macaroni and cheese on their menu. It's clear they've gone the extra mile to make this a great spot for all ages. Whether you're a barbecue enthusiast or new to Korean cuisine, K-Pop Korean Barbecue Grill is an unbeatable choice. Excellent food, great service, and outstanding value--it's a dining experience that keep us coming back for!

    Beef bulgogi

    I had an amazing dinner experience with my family yesterday at KPop BBQ and Bar - McDonough. I made a reservation for 6 PM in advance for a party of six. I recommend a reservation if you plan on dining in on Saturday evening. There will be a wait without one. We arrived about 10 minutes early and were seated on time. Our server Kandi was AMAZING. Not only was she knowledgeable about the menu, but she was kind and funny. Kandi did a great job giving us an overview of what to expect during the experience including the dinner pricing ($35 for all you can eat per adult and a price of $9-11 for the kids under 12) and included food options. KPop BBQ & Bar also had a vegetarian option for my mother in law, who opted to enjoy veggies only! The staff really worked together throughout our experience and everyone seemed to enjoy being at work and helping us. We were celebrating my husband's birthday. We opted for the dinner options which included a variety of meats, appetizers and side dishes. My favorite appetizers were the dumplings, spicy Korean fried chicken and the salads! My favorite meats were the beef bulgogi, short ribs and ribeye. My family loved the rice cakes too. The birthday guy enjoyed a tower of Sapporo (Japanese beer) and I enjoyed the Dream Glow (which was a strawberry lemon drop). The Dream Glow was so good! We also chatted with another employee named Aley who was so sweet and recommended the soju lychee shots! It was my first time trying them and they were so good (sweet and no burn). Overall, it was an amazing experience. I definitely recommend that you check this spot out.

    Banchan

    First and easily the biggest thing that knocked them down a star...They clean the grills with WET PAPER TOWELS after each use....and unless you stop them and ask them for a new grill they will just slap meat on top of the little bits of paper towels chud left over from scrubbing the grill plate down. Whhyyy.... Moving on... This place is alright, other than what I said above, when compared to it's competition. It's a step up when compared to other options in the immediate area. The service was polite, but I feel like they avoid the tables after the first initial request for meat. Almost as though they stall so you don't order as much food as you would if they were around and actually visible. Could just be that I came in for lunch, but...something tells me this may be part of the business model..but I haven't been to their other location to compare. I have eaten at plenty of K-BBQ places to compare this place, with others though. Place was tidy and I will admit the flooring was a lot cleaner and less greasy than most of the places I have eaten at. I was fully expecting it to be slightly slippery, but wasn't at all...so kudos to their cleaning crew! Food, all the Banchan was tasty and well prepared. I really liked the citrus dressing on the salad. That was a nice change from the other places I have been to. The extra dressing made an excellent dipping sauce for the spicy beef bulgogi...they should offer that instead of the "yum yum" sauce. I realize "yum yum" sauce is easier for SOME to wrap their heads around rather than the more traditional options...not a fan...I prefer the classics. The Smoked Pork Belly was my top pick out of the meat selections. I was a little disappointed in the portion sizes. It's not a deal breaker but they are smaller than most. Steamed rice was average. Little on the dry side and wasn't fragrant, but it wasn't bad. Rice sticks were really good. They had a slightly crispy aspect to them which I wasn't expecting but totally did them service. I would have ordered more of those. All of the pickled veg and kimchi was as to be expected, I ate every bit of it and asked for more salad because of the dressing! I like the menu set up and being able to order pre-selected appetizers with your meal, that's included with the meal. Nice touch. Would absolutely come back at dinner and see how it compares to lunch...it was a solid meal. Still not a fan of the paper towel cleaning of the grill plate...

    Lunch and a movie date with my son. This was our first time and I can say the name matches the look of the restaurant for sure...very KPop indeed! They had great wall art. The service, and food was great! The staff was young but we experienced professionalism for sure and each very knowledgeable...we will definitely be going back.

    Vegetables for the table

    *They do take Reservations just not the day of.* It was a 20 minute wait. Rachel was so sweet and informative about everything. The experience is you cook your proteins in the middle of the table they bring unlimited appetizers because it's all you can eat while enjoying the moment for any occasion mine was my son's 18th birthday. Which he really enjoyed. The cooked food was good going to admit I didn't taste the table veggies. The K-pop steak and the shrimp was great. The other meats eh to each their own. I highly recommend KPOP and would definitely return.

    Dust

    Food sucks it is a dishonor to call it kbbq. If you have ever had kbbq do NOT go here you will be disappointed and regret it. If you don't know better then it would be okay except the lights are dusty and they use what looks like a Clorox wipe to clean the grill. Staff is nice enough. Cool decor.

    So food is always amazing, I have been coming since it opened right around COVID time and the music and service is usually great. There was one time where they said they would text/call us when our table was ready and gave us an estimate so we sat out in the car since it was busy in there and waited till right around the estimate before going back in without a phone call to get an estimate of how much longer and they said they called and left a voicemail when we didn't even get a call or voicemail. They were turning us away, but my husband asked for a manager to explain the situation and they sat us. I felt bad that we had to get management, but they were understanding when i showed them we didn't get a call/voicemail/text.

    If you've never had Korean BBQ before go head over to KPop McDonough and try it out. Service is excellent and the food choices are great. First time visiting myself. The atmosphere is vibrant and laid back. Don't sleep on it. You will not be disappointed.

    Garlic calamari  Onions and mushrooms!

    From the hostess who greeted us to the manager to our server and bartender, it was top notch! Justin, this young man is so polite and attentive. I visited while in town with my fiancé and he made our night special. This spot passes the vibe check! I highly recommend making a reservation if you don't want to wait though! Jay stopped by and chatted with us a bit and he was most pleasant! We will be back, can't wait!

    Beef bulgoli
    Kaila T.

    One of my best friend decided to treat me to a Birthday dinner at this spot. Based on the photos & good reviews we were both convinced to give this place a try. On the weekends make sure you make a reservation, if you don't the wait time will be close to an hour wait. Upon arrival, the young hostess at the door was very nice and hospitable. When me and my friend decided to go to this spot a huge storm was under way making the place more crowded. There was times the power briefly went out however business was still going. Once seated, our server came over to take our drink menus. Since the place had a surge of people our server for a moment appeared overwhelmed but professional. It took him a "good minute" to give us our drinks we ordered. Me and my bestie are devoted tequila drinkers meaning we want top shelf patron. The server came back to our table to let us know they didn't have it. As a default we got the watermelon Rita which was really weak drink. Like it literally tasted like juice so we got two tequila shots. That helped tremendously! Now on the food portion which was my favorite part of the service. You get to cook your own food on the grill and can get unlimited protein and sides. When you get to the table there are sides lay out for you. Those sides include two types of salads, kimchi, sesame broccoli, sample of pasta salad, pickled radish to eat with your meal. One person orders their two proteins and they bring the raw meat out for you to cook. I got bulgoli beef and teriyaki chicken. To eliminate cross contamination the beef was cooked first then the chicken. After each meat is cooked it is sanitized by the server. My friends choice of meat was pulled pork belly and spicy beef bulgoli. We thoroughly enjoyed our protein and there was endless of sides you could order as well. The sides range from corn cheese dish, ramen(which was kinda watered down), Korean fried chicken essentially was mini chicken nuggets, fried chicken dumpling and my favorite spicy rice cakes which by name sounds weird but it's amazing. I got seconds of the rice cake and kimchi. There was periods when we didn't see main server due to there being large parties in attendance. We had a second server who gave us our sides for our protein. The ambiance honors the KPOP music and Asian flare in the restaurant. By the photos and furniture it gives off an Asian vibe from the door. The TV overhead plays all KPOP music videos from various artists. It definitely complements the restaurant & sets them apart from other Korean BBQ restaurants.

I was planning to celebrate my daughter's birthday with a party of eight and called ahead to ask about seating. I was told that reservations were not typically required. When I asked about the larger table in the back, I was informed that reservations could be made for that specific table, but they needed to be requested a week in advance. Since the birthday was only a few days away, that wasn't an option. The person I spoke with encouraged me to come in anyway, explaining that Sundays around 3:00 p.m. were usually not busy. I stopped by around 2:00 p.m. to inquire in person. After contacting the owner, the staff member informed me that I could reserve the table by emailing the owner and paying a $50 fee. What was frustrating was that the restaurant was completely empty at the time. It was difficult to understand why we would need to pay an additional fee simply to sit together and spend money at the restaurant, especially when the larger table was the only one that could accommodate our group. The most disappointing part was having to take our celebration elsewhere. I also felt bad for the server, who appeared to have very few customers and lost the opportunity to earn a gratuity from our party. I had hoped to support a local business and celebrate my daughter's birthday there, but the seating policy ultimately prevented us from doing so.

If you love beer, then you will experience a very long list of various beers and I like that's it's broken down by variety and flavor.

This was our first time here so I'm not sure if it was normal but even though it wasn't really busy, service was slow. Our waitress was really friendly but she was working both inside and outside so we did have to wait around a while for our check.

The strip mall entrance and parking a bit of a challenge. Full review below: I went in Saturday afternoon. It was lightly busy but fully staffed so help/attention came quick. Dining solo so I opted for a seat at the bar. Bartender was super attentive. Didn't have to wait long for a menu or to place my order. Also, she regularly checked in on how everything was. I ordered the Yellow Diamond Martini ($15) and it was delicious. I got the fried green tomatoes (4 pieces) for $11.95. Complimentary very tall cup of water. The tomatoes were a little small so this is definitely an appetizer/light snack...which is A-OK for me. It came out shortly after my martini was ready. Overall, minus tip, it came to $29. Music was playing through a speaker but not too loud. People could comfortably have a conversation. There are multiple tvs throughout. I appreciated that some of them were showing stuff other than sports. One monitor, near the restroom, is devoted to Culturistic Kitchen content, which is smart. I did use the restroom. It's two stalls and two sinks. The non-handicap/ADA stall is tiny. I'm like a medium-sized woman who is 5'7 and even I was like yikes. When the place is busy/packed I could see a wait or a line for the bathroom. The one major downside...which is not Culturistic Kitchen's fault is that the strip mall is not easy to get out of and onto the main road (Jodeco Rd) especially if you're turning left. The parking lots for all the shops, which are great businesses, should be bigger than it is. Don't be surprised if, during peak times, you may have to park 1-2 doors down from the restaurant. Overall, I would go again. I don't go out to eat that often (there's food at the house ) but if I want a good cocktail and a light snack or try some of their regular food items, I would come again. More than likely, I'd choose an off-peak time because I wouldn't want to experience it at near full capacity but that's just me.
