We visited SK Korean Steakhouse after our meeting in the area. In my opinion, this Korean BBQ spot deserves a 5 star rating as a Korean restaurant in Dawsonville, GA . However, if it were located closer to Buford or Duluth, where there are many other KBBQ spots, I would rate it a 4. Lunch AYCE ($20 for BBQ or Hot Pot | $25 for both) *You cannot find a KBBQ for $20 lunch nowadays - so at this price point, it's great! Meats are solid. The SK steak is tender and highly recommended. I also enjoyed the brisket and pork belly. The meats were good cuts, without excessive fat. The hot food items are plentiful with japchae, cheese corn, tteokbokki, chicken wings, fried rice, egg rolls, and mashed potatoes. I also saw shrimp cocktail, seaweed salad, kimbap, kimchi, and edamame. For dessert, they have fruit, banana pudding, mango jelly (yum!), and a variety of ice cream. The service was exceptional. The servers were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that our needs were met throughout the meal. The bathrooms are clean and well-lit as you make your way there. Overall, we had a great experience and will be recommending this to our wedding guests! read more

Service was excellent. The lady even came to grill the meat for us. Food was delicious: very well marinated meat and portion was good. Ambiance was quite modern, very comfortable, just about right. Music volume was just right: not too loud not too soft. Parking was plentiful, there as a huge lot outside. This place is very close to the premium outlets. Very easy to navigate to come right after shopping. Will come again if in town again. read more

Having lived in Korea for seven years, I a was pleased to find a Korean BBQ restaurant near my place at the lake. Great find. All you care to eat BBQ at your table for about $30. I tried the steak, the kalbi, and the Bulgogi. There is a decent salad bar where you can find plenty of rice, the leafy lettuce, the raw sliced garlic and the Sam Jang sauce you need to accompany your Korean BBQ. I'd go with the bulgogi and the kalbi. I was lucky that Na Mi from Inchon, Korea was my wait staff. She took great care of me and had some solid recommendations. She made the experience enjoyable and more authentically Korean. The tables are perfect and overall it' was a great experience. Happy to have them near the lake. Take a group and try everything. You'll enjoy the whole experience. I'll be back. read more

SK Korean Steakhouse - Steak and Bulgogi with sides. - Korean Near Me - Dawsonville, Georgia

Yes, I recommend this place. What I love about this place is the price includes all the lettuce, gimbab, kimchi, and radish wraps, etc. that you would normally get a tiny bit of or you have to pay extra. The meat quality is delicious. The staff there are super friendly and welcoming. read more

This is a very nice place in Dawsonville, Ga just passed the North Georgia Premium Outlet. The place is a beautiful Asian building. Inside, there is a wall size animated acquarium. The place is nicely decorated. Our server is Super-Fantastic. Ivy is very knowledgeable of their menu items. She is very professional, friendly and authentic. She recommended the Shortribs; which is amazing. I am surprised by the size of the serving. Both Shortribs and Ribeye are full size. Not like those small pieces you get from other Korean Hotpot place. The buffet bar comes with different sauce, salads, fruits, deserts and other items. If you happen to be driving by 400 Hwy in Dawsonville, you need to visit SK Korean Stake House and ask for Ivy. read more

SK Korean Steakhouse - Hotpot menu - Korean Near Me - Dawsonville, Georgia

First time here. Came on a Monday for lunch. Excellent service- our waitress Ivy extremely helpful- we have been to other Korean BBQ places and they were good, but this is next level because you can go to the bar to get your own vegetables and sauces and side items. You don't need to wait on staff to refill like other places. The atmosphere is pleasant the tv is not loud. The restaurant very clean and welcoming. Highly recommend and my husband and I found a new favorite and will be back often! Oh food delicious as well . read more

SK Korean Steakhouse - Hawaiian Bulgogi - Korean Near Me - Dawsonville, Georgia

My highly anticipated wait is over! A hot pot/korean bbq in the Dawsonville/North Forsyth area!! Finally, somebody put one here! The location looks like a former Ryan's steakhouse and parking is plentiful. There are grand opening signs around the parking lot! I came here on a Thursday early afternoon and there wasn't many people here. Walking inside, I was super amazed by the decor as they have beautiful sea fish background with cool lighting. The owner was at the front desk and seated us right away. Our waitress was super nice and asked for our drinks immediately. We opted to get the hot pot only ATCE and the lunch menu for $20 was amazing! Surprisingly, there is a large seafood selection which includes: clams, shrimp, mussels, red clams, and squid. As far as meat, they got your typical prime brisket. Soup base, I went with beef soup base. They have a sauce bar, dessert bar, cold food bar, and a hot food bar. I was amazing at this. Hot food bar included the fried rice, fried fish, japchae, egg rolls, and seasmee chicken. The corn cheese in the hot bar was off the chain! I loved it!!! I also enjoyed the cucumbers and seaweed salad here as wel! Let me say, there sauce bar had my favorite sauce (green lime sauce) and it was amazing! I saw the other sauces they had. Everything here was super tasty including the shrimp and squid. It appeared to Be super fresh! And dipping everything in my favorite green sauce was just amazing!! They also have an ice cream cooler that you have to check out. I didn't have any because I was already full from eating all their cherry tomatoes. Service was here was amazing as wel. She was super attentive and always checking on us every 15 minutes. The hallway to the bathrrom blew me away. It's a must to see for yourself!! I can't wait to come back again for their dinner menu and also try out their Korean bbq portion. I highly recommended everybody in the area to try it out. I know hot pot and Korean bbq is very new to the people of Dawonsville but once you try, you will be hooked!! read more

Wow! Great experience! SO MUCH food! We stopped for a bite and got a great meal and experience. We have had hot pots and Korean BBQ before but this is both. You can get the BBQ for $33 (adults) and the hot pot for $5 more. It was senior night so we got $5 off. We had brisket, bulgogi and pork belly on our BBQ with veggies and pineapple grilled on the side and I had Tom Yum broth and hubs had Kimchi broth with several meats and veggies in that. You get to customize it! They also have an appetizer/ dessert bar with dumplings, egg rolls, veggies, kimchis, edamame, desserts and so much more. Definitely going to be back and bringing some friends. Great for a night out! Service was excellent and attentive. read more

Smoke everywhere in building. Terrible ventilation & hard to breathe. Waitress was pushy and spoke minimal English. We were trying to go somewhere nice in Dawsonville for a celebration & this is NOT the place! Will NEVER go back.! read more

My family and I are giving SK Korean Steakhouse a 5 Star review. We were here for one of our family member's birthday. We have a member of our family with a food allergy and the manager and server were very helpful in accommodating my family member's needs. They were very attentive and informative about what the ingredients in each dishes. They guided us to which dishes were safe and which were not. My family were able to celebrate a special occasion in safety thanks to the diligence of the staff at SK Korean Steakhouse. The birthday boy and I enjoyed the beef spare ribs and bulgogi, pork belly, teriyaki chicken, and asparagus, while the rest of our party indulged in Hot Pot. They said the broths were so good! Each of them could indulge in their own individual spice preferences, from my youngest son's extremely mild preference with the chicken broth with ramen and spinach to my husband's love of the very hot in his Tom Yum with a selection of various seafood varieties, bok choi, mushrooms, and udon noodles. My family really enjoyed the layout of the restaurant. The side items were all located on a self serve buffet that made accessing what each member desired quick and easy. There was also an ice-cream cooler available that made it easy for our stomachs to cool the burn from the spicy selections. Thank you to everyone at SK Korean Steakhouse for making our night delicious. read more

Great food, great service. The hot pot is a nice added touch. The restaurant is clean and the manager is very nice. Definitely I recommend this restaurant. read more

SK Korean Steakhouse - Hot pot - Korean Near Me - Dawsonville, Georgia

I went with my mother & wife & we had a great time! Our server was attentive & kind, as well as the manager. The inside was very clean & had a cool modern interior with great music & televisions w/ sports games on. The food was great. We got the SK steak, spicy pork bulgogi, beef bulgogi, and short ribs. The SK steak was good, but the marinades on the pork / beef bulgogi & short ribs were incredible and were by far my favorites. My wife got the hotpot which was $5 to add-on and she loved it! The broth was flavorful & she was able to get plenty of vegetables & meat to go along with it The staff at the sauce / appetizer bar were attentive & always kept the items stocked & bar cleaned. Their yum yum & gyoza sauces were great. The appetizers we tried were also pretty good! I'd recommend the egg rolls & crab rangoons! This would be a great place to bring people who are new to Korean BBQ or hotpot. The non-stick grill covers & electric grills made it very easy to cook the food without sticking or burning it which can sometimes be a pain at other KBBQ spots. It was also unique to have an appetizer / sauce bar available. It was nice because we got to create our own sauce mixes & get as much as we wanted without having to constantly bother the wait staff to get something like at other KBBQ spots. Overall, we had a great experience! The staff were friendly & always checked on us, the ability to self-serve on appetizers & sauces was nice. Most importantly, the food was delicious! We'll be back for sure! NOTE: Korean BBQ is a BUFFET-style meal w/ a varied selection of meats & appetizers. You can't bring home leftovers & they charge for whoever sits at the table (because it's a BUFFET... not different at other KBBQ spots I've been to) so make sure you save an appetite to get your money's worth!! read more

Drove the family up to Helen for the Grand to see the village and the lights. On our way up, we saw SK Korean Steakhouse. Family was hungry once we left and decided to try this place out. We were all blown away by how great it looks inside. The place looks like it doesn't belong there as it's so modern. The restaurant was clean, the buffet tidy with lots of choices, and the food we cooked was fresh. Our server, Sarah, was awesome. She was friendly, welcomed us, and made sure we were well taken care of. We will visit again for sure. read more

The food, service and decor was above and beyond what I expected. Finally something other than fast food or bar food in Dawsonville! The place is immaculate, the staff is attentive and courteous and the food is exceptional! I highly recommend the lunch special, but you may be too full to go back to work! So happy they are in Dawsonville and hope many people find this place! Five Stars!!!!!! read more

I found this place today--quite by accident. What a gem! The outside is relatively plain but the inside is phenomenal. Great vibe with lots of screens and wonderful visuals. Kind of like a little sports bar, a little hip/modern, and a wall of screens synchronized with nature scenes. The folks were super friendly and helpful in getting, cooking and serving the food. Price was awesome. The food was fantastic. It'll be hard not to go all the time. read more

This place is absolutely delicious! We had an amazing experience the service was fast and on point. I love that they include a buffet with it couldn't get enough of it and their price is reasonable. The place has so many cool lights and a space feel there are screens everywhere and the music is very K-pop can't believe a place is opened like this in dawsonville we will be coming back read more

Service was good and the restaurant was beautifully decorated. The price is reasonable and it is compatible with others. We only tried BBQ this time since having both Hot pot and BBQ was too much last time we tried at the different location. They offer the plenty of side dishes. But we were not fun of neon lights and felt too busy for our eyes. The flavor of short ribs were not our favorite read more

Good food bad service our server was really helpful at the start but eventually just gave up and to add insult to injury when the bill came he complained about the tip directly to us we tipped 10% cuz of the alright service he then complained to us that it wasn't at 18% possibly the weirdest interaction I've ever had read more

Had my daughter's 16th Birthday lunch here with the family, was my first time eating here and it was a fantastic experience. The staff are wonderful, friendly and prompt (I feel the need to emphasize wonderful.) The food was great. The atmosphere is very fresh and new to me, and clean too, love what they did with the old Ryan's building. 10/10 would recommend and we will be visiting more often. You can't beat the price, either! The steak they made on the table was so good, really just a great experience. My whole party sat at both tables in the middle of the restaurant and we weren't too far apart to feel secluded from each other. You will not regret trying this place out. read more

So we've been here a few times now and it's always been great. Tonight was no exception and it was not too busy at all. We had steak, chicken, shrimp, two types of bulgogi, short ribs, salad and of course home made kimchi! We had the bottle of the house wine which was delicious! read more

Ok I want to be kind since they just opened but man oh man.... If anyone has ever been to Iron Age (Halcyon) or Honey Pig they will not enjoy this food - at all. It is like gas station Korean BBq. It was so sad & disappointing. We had such high hopes. Food: The Japchae noodles had zero taste, the Kimchi & shrimp was also flavorless. The meat was over marinated and way too fatty. Pork belly resembled bacon not thick or shaved like traditional Korean BBQ. The pork belly and brisket tasted like oil only. Positive: the best food items were the ribeye and the Korean pancake. They were good not great. SERVICE: although a little language barrier, she was very friendly & accommodating. We left a nice tip. The food was not her fault. Paid $70 for both meals and we left hungry. The 1st warning sign was the grill is not over a flame or on cast iron. More like infrared??? Not sure. I feel awful for the people that left good reviews. If they were legit, they need to try Korean BBQ like mentioned above. They will retract their reviews for sure . Please turn this place around. We will wait for 6 months and try again.... Maybe. Iron Age here we come! read more

Great Korean BBQ!!! Bring your friends here. The staff is super friendly and will help you bbq if you want. All you can eat for 33 bucks a person, two hour time limit and open salad bar with Korean side dishes. Highly recommend!!! Soju bombs away!!!! read more

The wife and I tried this place and overall it was really good! My wife isn't the biggest fan of Korean sides, but I am and they were delicious! She loved the grilled food we had and the portions were really good. Overall we will be going back! read more

The ambience was fine but not my favorite, appeared to be a former Ryan's or something else average. The meat was really, really unappetizing and had the texture of leather and the taste wasn't much better. The server was sort of rude at first but warmed up when she saw it didn't faze me. I wanted to like this place but couldn't find much positive other than I don't have to eat there again. read more

Let's start with the friendly gentleman who greeted us at the door; he was super friendly, warm and welcoming. Then our waitress was incredibly kind and helpful with my elderly parents that were trying the Korean Bbq experience for the first time. If you're fortunate to have Ivy as your server, it'll make the experience all the better, as she's charming and attentive. Next, this place is clean, and the buffet section tidy, and plentiful. Finally the meat, and veg was nice and fresh, well marinated and delicious. They were quick to bring more and clean up the excess. Totally worth the reasonable price for a fantastic experience from start to finish. read more

Wonderful atmosphere, food is delicious, fresh cuts of meats and salad bar was delicious as well. Our server was the best. Will definitely come back! read more

The food was amazing, and our server was very kind and funny with the jokes he was cracking. I definitely want to come again sometime to try some of the other things on their menu that I didn't have the stomach room for on this visit. read more

Good food, friendly service highly recommend!! High top table was great if a booth isn't available. We had a great time.

It was our first time doing the Korean thing. Our waiter, David, answered all our questions and make us feel welcome. The meat was excellent. David cooked it for us and brought out yummy sauces to put on it. The salad and sides bar was alright. When I found out I didn't like their Kimchee, there were enough other options that I could keep eating and still be good. It was a busy lunch crowd with most people 20-30 years old. If you are interested in trying something Asian but different from the usual dining experience, you got to try this. read more

Great smell as you walk through the door. I knew we were in for a treat. Service was on point. The server was very helpful and recommended sauces for cooking. He even went to the bar and brought back what he recommended. He was spot on. Way better than any Korean BBQ that I have been to. This is the first review that I have ever given this type of establishment. This review is well deserved. Please don't lose this luster . read more

We just finished eating here our server was Alex L. We ordered our food as normal, got one refill of waters. Alex did put our food on the skillet for us which was nice. Our bill was $133, I usually leave 10% tip. He told us to get some ice cream on the way out but while we picked up the ice cream he came and verified the tip was 10%. I told him it was he rolled his eyes and stormed off to the entry table, slammed the receipt pissed off and was complaining about 10%. You are lucky we didn't take the receipt of if your hands and change it to 0 read more

I absolutely love this place!! The prices are great and the food is even greater. The kimchi, seaweed salad, pickled radish, spring rolls, sauces, and much more is served buffet style. The ambiance is super cool with colorful lights and huge animated screens. 10/10 read more

We have eaten at SK Korean BBQ MANY, MANY times. Ron and his staff are friendly, expedient and helpful. The food is high quality and delicious. It's nice to have another option to eat out in Dawsonville - one that doesn't include chain restaurants. Bring an appetite and get your eat on. read more

David is amazing!! He truly takes the Korean BBQ experience to the next level. The meat selection is top-notch, and the quality has only gotten better over time. You can really see how much this place has grown since it first opened. LOVE this place--highly recommend! read more

The food was great and ample supply. We particularly liked the short ribs, chicken, and bulgogi beef. The salad and appetizer bar was interesting and included a large variety including a couple of desserts. I'm baffled by some of these reviews from people saying there wasn't much food for the price. All you have to do is ask for more. Buffet cost is $33 for adults, wine is $5.00 a glass which is a bargain. Service was great. read more

Not worth the money. Sides bar is pretty pitiful. Meat quality not the greatest. And the staff come to the table constantly interrupting your conversations and trying to rush you along in the process. We came here to celebrate Mother's Day and unfortunately, I'd have to say never again. I don't know what the hype is about this place, I don't get it. read more
