    This place is the real deal -- authentic Korean BBQ done right, and easily my favorite Korean BBQ…read morespot around. First things first: don't let any older reviews sway you. The restaurant changed ownership about a year ago, and the new owner has clearly put his heart into making this place exceptional. He checked in with us multiple times throughout our meal and even came out to chat with us afterward to make sure we were happy. That kind of personal touch is rare and genuinely appreciated. The menu has something for everyone -- individual dishes, hot pots, and unlimited meat BBQ. The rotating vegetable banchan is a standout; they use whatever is fresh at the time, so it changes regularly and always feels thoughtful. The unlimited sides like chicken wings, rice cakes, cheese corn, and dumplings are all fantastic and kept us coming back for more. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive throughout -- you never feel like you're waiting or forgotten. If you've been on the fence or written this place off based on old reviews, give it a fresh shot. You won't regret it!

    I got the Tofu Bibimbap (4/5) and split the Tteokbokki (Spicy Rice Cakes; 4/5). The bibimbap was…read moregood but pretty light on the tofu, yet I still felt pretty full after. It was deceptively more food than it looked like. The Tteokbokki were too soft for me but had a good flavor, and my partner liked them too. The service was great (4.5/5); they were very attentive and friendly. The interior of the restaurant is clean and nice (4/5). We are excited to go back and try more dishes!

    The chef here is trying to get gold stars. That is all you need to know…read more I recommend everything, but especially the Brussels sprouts, deviled eggs, and the burger. Each thing on the menu is a bold take on a traditional dish that generally is excellent. If you just got through watching some cooking shows and have to find something that is not your usual fare, this is where you want to go.

    Our first visit to Table 20 was fantastic. We had a Thai-inspired dish that absolutely knocked it…read moreout of the park. It was so good that we made a point to come back just two weeks later while we were in Cartersville, hoping to order it again. Unfortunately, the second visit was a completely different experience. We arrived around 5:15 p.m. and were immediately asked if we had a reservation. There were plenty of empty tables, yet the hostess made us feel like showing up without a reservation was somehow an inconvenience. We were eventually seated, but it wasn't exactly a welcoming start. Then came what was easily one of the most obnoxious servers I've ever had. He spent more time delivering awkward, canned one-liners than providing good service. He constantly interrupted our meal with quirky comments that weren't funny or entertaining--they were just distracting. To make matters worse, when we asked about the amazing Thai dish we'd had only two weeks earlier, he told us it had already been removed from the menu. Apparently, rotating menu items this quickly is common here. We ordered two different entrées. One was decent. Mine was terrible. It was another Thai-inspired noodle dish made with sweet potato noodles (if I remember correctly). The presentation looked like dog food, and the noodles were so overcooked they had turned into mush. Between the disappointing food and the overbearing server, it made for a long evening. Our food also took more than 50 minutes to arrive after we were seated. After three visits--only one of which had been genuinely enjoyable--we decided to take a break from Table 20. Then we saw a Facebook post featuring catfish over Gouda grits with what looked like a corn and cabbage topping. It looked incredible, so we decided to give the restaurant one more chance this past Saturday. This time I played it safe and made a reservation. We were seated immediately, and thankfully we had a pleasant, professional server. We ordered the catfish and the Pad Thai with spicy mushrooms. The catfish was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it was underwhelming. A good remoulade or complementary sauce would have gone a long way. The Pad Thai, however, was one of the worst restaurant dishes I've been served in a long time. The mushrooms were burned completely black--crunchy, bitter, and tasting like burnt popcorn. That burnt flavor had spread throughout the entire dish, making it completely inedible. I asked our server if it was supposed to be prepared that way, even though I already knew the answer. She said it didn't look like that when she had tried it previously. She took a few of the mushrooms back to the kitchen to ask the chef. She returned with a small mason jar of freshly cooked mushrooms that were soft and perfectly prepared--but completely unseasoned. Unfortunately, replacing the mushrooms didn't solve the problem because the noodles themselves had already absorbed the overwhelming burnt flavor. I tried eating a few bites but simply couldn't finish it. When I explained that the dish was inedible because of the burned mushrooms, our server handled the situation professionally. She offered a complimentary dessert, a free cocktail, or another entrée to go. I appreciated the effort, but at that point I just wanted an entrée that was cooked correctly the first time. To their credit, they removed the Pad Thai from the bill. I still tipped based on what the full total would have been because none of this was our server's fault. She did everything she could to make things right. What disappointed me most was that neither a manager nor the chef ever came to our table to apologize or even acknowledge what had happened. A dish in that condition should never have left the kitchen in the first place. The lack of quality control--and the lack of management involvement afterward--was honestly more disappointing than the bad meal itself. At this point, we've given Table 20 multiple chances. When the food is good, it's very good. But when it's bad, it's really bad. The inconsistency makes it feel like you're rolling the dice every time you eat there, especially considering the prices. For us, that's enough. We won't be returning anytime soon.

    I have been visiting this restaurant for years, back when they first opened in Kennesaw and were…read morenamed Seoul Food. For a long time, they were my go-to when I was craving Korean food. They had a deal for $5 for 5 sides where you could get a whole trayful of tteokbokki and a good deal on their "Seoul bowl" which was a meat, 2 dumplings and a side. I understand that the economy has changed a lot in the recent years so they could not maintain their prices. However, I found that the quality of food was also declining while prices continued to rise. This last time I visited, I got the kimbap and bowl (pork bulgogi and japchae). This was one of the most disappointing experiences I've had. The kimball was falling apart, so much that it was difficult to eat. When you went to take a bite, all of the contents fell out. The bulgogi and dumplings were fine but the japchae was very bad. Like I said, I've been coming here for years and I have *never* seen the japchae look like this. It was dark and chewy like rubber. It was so bad that I couldn't even finish half of the side before I called it quits. I did reach out to the restaurant soon after and they were very apologetic and offered a refund. I am just disappointed that one of my favorite restaurants is changing so much. Additionally, they updated the menu recently and took off some items that I previously enjoyed (like the potato tornado). Most of all, I am disappointed in the tteokbokki deal. It is now $2.50 for 4 rice cakes (you can count them in the container). And I am also sad that the japchae wasn't good as this was my go-to place for Korean japchae cravings.

    Cute little spot with counter service. They have great Bimbimbap bowls. I also love that they…read moreoffer japchae (sweet potato glass noodles), no so happy that the toppings are cold. My broccoli was fridge cold, which is common in this establishments. They also have Gimbap, which I used to joke around are korean sushi rolls. The quality of the meat is decent, though not always as tender or flavorful as you'd expect from a traditional Korean BBQ spot. Some of the marinades are good, but others feel a bit bland or lacking in depth. The side dishes (banchan) are a nice touch, but they can be hit-or-miss in terms of freshness and flavor. Overall in all, KPop BBQ To Go is a solid option if you're craving Korean BBQ and need something quick.

We decided to forgo our regular spot and opted to drive a little further to Iron Age. First of all the place is beautiful! I love the lighting and vibe. It serves the experience you want at the time, dressed up and dressed down. Great date night but just fine for just a fun night out. We were greeted immediately on a Friday night and were seated immediately. Our server was super nice and made sure we knew what we were doing. There are Plenty of meat options to choose from and the sides looked amazing! We opted for the Steak and Bulgogi as our first 2 meat choices with salad and rice cakes, kimchi, white rice, glass noodles, and various pickled items that came with it. This was all you can eat so don't worry if the portions look small at first. The two steak options were incredible! I love the open flames that is different from our regular spot. Amazing flavors!! Great char on the meat. The salad dressing and other pickled sides were incredible together. We only tried one other meat which was the lemon pepper chicken. This was my favorite!! Don't miss this one. Everything was so good, and Iron Age was definitely worth a little extra drive. Good prices and outstanding service!! Get here!
