My family and I have eaten here for years and we just returned on Saturday craving Atlanta's best Korean food after near non-stop K-Pop Demon Hunters with the kids all Christmas and New Year's break. The Korean food scenes got my wife and I hungry every time! Having been to many of Atlanta's best Korean restaurants over the past decade, Stone Bowl is a clear notch above the rest. The side dishes are just simply better with robust authentic seasoning and unforgettable flavor that leaves you craving for more. The kimchi is spot on for spice but not overwhelming. The potatoes are to die for, cooked to perfection, tender and absorbent of all the nearby flavors. For the first time, we tried the Korean sushi roll (K-Pop Demon Hunters was calling) and it didn't disappoint. Stuffed with fresh cooked bulgogi and veggies, we ate it so fast we were left thinking of Korean sushi rolls had an edge over Japanese sushi rolls! And we also got the poached dumplings for the first time and almost went as fast as the sushi roll. The authentic style of poaching the dumpling made it taste homemade from grandma's kitchen. The sizzling plate of bulgogi was amazingly put down the gullet on top of everything else. Consistently on point and warms the tummy. Service is cordial, but somewhat aloof and distant at times because we would have loved an offer to refill our side dishes, but admittedly they are often busy and we don't go there to expect Michelin dining service levels. We come for the food. Awesome food. And Stone Bowl House will be seeing us again before long. read more

Hands down Best Banchan selection and flavors across many Korean restaurants I've visited (and I ate a lot of Korean food)!! My son's kimchi and pork bibimbap is the bomb!! Easily the best bibimpap ever. It is different than other bibimbap we had in other places. My grilled squid is too sweet for me. I prefer savory and spicy dishes, so any dish with too much sugar/sweet are not to my liking. The squid is grilled/cooked to perfection though. Good service and fast. The place is cute. It has lots of "private" spaces for larger groups. read more

I was told to eat here for a true Korean experience and they were not kidding. I just got back from the South Korea a d I can share that this was very traditional and I felt like I still back there. I had Bibimbap and it was delicious with the hot stone and the every stays hot. You can add the level of spicy or hotness that you want. The kimchi was great and all the sides made the experience even better. The service was good and the ladies were very attentive. The restaurant was great and the ambiance did not disappoint. If you are in the mood for some true Korean food, this is your place. You are welcome! read more

One of Atlanta's best family-owned restaurants. Been coming here for over ten years -- since the days when Grandma would come out from the kitchen to make sure we liked her cooking - and the food is consistently fresh, homemade, flavorful and affordable. Love the hot barley tea, tofu soup, and mushroom bibimbap. The banchan are all delicious, our favorite of any we've tried. read more

Been here twice and enjoyed both visits. Def recommend coming for lunch because their deals are pretty great and food comes out fast. Prob going to be a new go-to spot for us! We started with the seafood pancake - massive and loaded with squid, clams, etc. Came with a dipping sauce that helped balance the flavors for those who don't love seafood as much as I do. For our mains, we each got a bimbimbap. I got the spicy squid and thought it was super tender and had a nice kick - bonus points for the bowl being loaded with veggies. The side dishes are always one of my fav parts of Korean restaurants and this place doesn't miss! read more

I had medium expectations for coming here since Atl (and Buford Hwy) have SUCH good Korean food options, and Stone Bowl House only had a solid 4-stars on Yelp! I'm soooo happy I went, however, so I can contribute towards getting Stone Bowl House closer to the 5-star review that they SOO deserve! Everything was delicious. All three of my guests (2 Koreans) and I were obsessed. We all remarked that we EASILY could have scarfed down two Stone Bowls each-- because they were so delicious not bc they were too small. We're all SO happy we tried it and totally plan to go back. We tried 5 or so different dishes between all of us and enjoyed them all. The ambiance is also nice and quiet, but still lively-- good for conversations! read more

I loved everything. Prices are good for lunch, got the bulgolgi bibimbap Dolsot. Nice portion size. All banchan is so good and the bowl stays nice and hot the entire meal. Parking is plenty but in a small shopping center. Easy to get to. Service is quick but they don't check on you too often which is ok. I'll come back ! read more

Well worth the drive!! We vote this place as best bibimbap in Atlanta!! We tried the bulgogi hot stone bowl bibimbap, the squid, and the eel. They were all delicious!! And the various kimchi little accompaniments that kept getting refilled were so refreshing and yummy. The cucumber spicy one was a hit and the cucumber melon (or at least it tasted like it apple or melon coleslaw was sooooo good!!), the fish, the potatoes, etc. they were all good!! We got to sit in a traditional private booth. Great ambiance for a family or group of friends or co-workers. It's always a hit, when we bring in friends who have not been or have never tried an authentic Korean restaurant. read more

The environment is very cute, there are a lot of private booths. The banchan here is very unique. They're all very good packed with alot of flavor, the seafood pancake here is good. Not oily, comes with an addicting sauce. The bibimbap is good but the most unique one is the eel bibimbap. The rice that comes with it is not the typical red bibimbap sauce but it reminds me of a mushroom risotto. The service is very good, it was my first time so I know it was a little slow but that is okay! read more

This place was recommended by a friend. I was looking forward to a meal shared between 9 of us. We had reservations so were seated right away on Friday night. They have separated room spaces perfect for big groups. A lot of us ordered bibibimbop and we unanimously felt thr meat quantity was too little for an 18$ plus dish. The brisket bulgogi dish was good but maybe too sweet and also pricey at 40$ plus. The vegetarian dumplings and pork dumplings were both great. Overall spent a about 60$ per person for food and beer and tthought was a big overpriced for thr overall quality. Ps Banchan refills are charged after the first round. heads up I really wanted to love this spot but I think I'll hv to keep looking for my favorite Korean spot in atl read more

This place was pretty busy when we called for takeout on a Thursday evening. It takes about 40 minutes for the food to be ready so make sure you order early! I got the Dwenjangjjigae and the bibimbap with beef. It was decently good and the portions were huge. The bibimbap had al different kinds of toppings in it and i was full after 3/5 of the bowl. The soup was also decent, nothing mind blowing but still savory and comforting. The best part is the amount of side dishes we got. With all the side dishes, it feels like we each got 1.5 meals out of it so it's pretty value too. I'd like to come back and try this place and dine in. It's definitely worth trying again! read more

This is a nice Korean restaurant where my favorite is Bibimbap. I always tend to get this item off the menu. My friend andbi had gotten Bibimbap, I a vegetarian and my friend the steak one. After placing thr order, the host brought out Banchan which were delicious. I do wish she explained which were vegetarian which ones weren't so I had to ask her. The food is great but the service is to be desired for. The hostess disappeared immediately after bringing out the food so I had to wait a while to ask for Gochujang sauce. They only serve gochujang sauce in a tiny dish which isn't enough for someone who likes their dish to be spicy. It was a nice place with a nice location to catch up with friends. read more

I live by a ktown in NJ so I admit that I do have high standards for korean food. I read reviews and was excited to try out the stone bowl rice and stews because they looked really good but was disappointed because the food was not authentic and the service was extremely slow. I came on a Saturday night with a reservation and was seated in a semi-enclosed booth. The waiter kept skipping my booth so I didn't order until 15-20 minutes after I sat down. I ordered the eel stone bowl - I never had an eel bowl before but decided to try it. My family ordered the seafood tofu stew. The bowl was just ok - looks better than it tasted, I think the bulgolgi bowl looks more authentic with the vegetables. But the tofu soup was quite a disappointment - there was rice inside the stew? And the flavors tasted bland. Plus, the rice that came with the stew was so hard it was almost inedible. A bit sad about the experience because I heard Atlanta has good Korean food, but maybe I was just unlucky and the restaurant had an off day. read more

The food was 5 out of 5. The concept of serving bowls in a heated stone bowl is excellent. You can have leisurely conversations over food without worrying about the food getting cold. The banchan variety is great with each one tasting amazing. I'll definitely be back. The only thing I'll suggest, upgrade to the decor like changing the carpet. The service was friendly. read more

In years past I've eaten here the food has been good and the service decent. On a recent visit the food was decent but I was not impressed with the server's attitude. Never greeted me at the front, when asked to be seated she put a menu on a table and walked away. From the time I ordered to the time I asked for the bill she never checked on me once. When I asked for the bill she told me to go to the counter to pay when I clearly saw her bring checks to other tables. Enjoy your zero tip, I'll never be back here again because of her. read more

These eponymous stone bowls are so hot that the sizzle that comes from one of them is conversation-halting, much in the way that necks crane for a passing fajita platter. Every single one of us at the table ordered a bibimbap - a mixed rice dish with veg, a protein, and spicy red pepper paste - in one of these bowls, with nary a complaint upon eating. One of the best parts of ordering bibimbap in a stone bowl is the char that forms in the rice layer most proximate to the hot bottom and sides, which adds the most incredible texture to the dish. Personally, I measure a restaurant's bibimbap by how much of that rice becomes well-crisped. By those standards, Stone Bowl House won the game of all the Korean bibimbaps I've had to date in the Atlanta area. The banchan, or free side dishes, are decent. I didn't find any standouts bites, but they tasted fresh and acted as faithful sidekicks to the meal. Along with the standard plates of kimchi and spicy fermented radish cubes, there were sesame oiled bean sprouts, pickled shishito peppers, marinated fish cakes, wood ear mushrooms, and their slightly sweeter version of cole slaw. It's notable that the restaurant offers up to five free refills before an added charge (which is far more generous than other Korean restaurants in the area that shall not be named). With our meals, we also enjoyed a small miso soup that helped to cool down our mouths after the fiery mouthfuls of bibimbap. If there were any disappointments, it was the haemul pajeon, or the seafood pancake. It was slim on the namesake seafood and a little thicker and breadier than I usually prefer. I love the way other Korean restaurants serve theirs on a sizzling platter, but these were delivered on a regular plate and therefore were quick to cool and lose some of their initial luster. Our party of four was seated in one of the semi-private side spaces, where we felt tucked away from the crowd but received just as attentive service as any of the other tabled customers. read more

Very legit Korean restaurant. After finding out Atlanta/Georgia has a sizable Korean population, I knew I had to eat at a Korean restaurant when I had the chance to visit. There's quite a bit to choose from on the menu. I just had to order the yukgaejang to see how it lines up against Houston's. My girlfriend ordered the stone bowl bibimbap with squid. She liked her dish a lot, it had all the veggies, and the rice was nicely crisped. The yukgaejang bowl was HUGE, like Texas-sized portion. Pretty solid, I would say I'm disappointed it didn't have the mountain roots/ferns. The banchan was so good, probably better than the selection I've had around Houston. The cucumbers, fishcake, and bean sprouts were delish. They also have corn tea and barley tea, recommend trying it! read more

Returned after six years and on a chilly Friday, disappointed to find the dishes were not as good as I remembered. Beef bulgogie: tad too sweet and I didn't think the quality of the meat was too great. Bulgogi bibibamp: really regular flavor but loaded with veggies. Seafood kimchi soup: really disliked this as it did not taste very authentic and did not have any kimchi flavor at all. The bunchans were soo good though! Really loved the crunchy cucumber and the sweet savory potatoes read more

This has by far been one of the best Korean side dishes I've ever tasted. We had seafood pancake and my goodness I could eat this every day! Any of the stone bowls were quite popular with my friends. Pros: excellent side dishes, spectacular main dishes, free parking Cons: potentially long wait if on a popular day. Limit to side dish refills though there is plenty food Staff were incredibly friendly and allowed us to take our time. Very family friendly area, able to dress casual. read more

One of my friends recommend this place to me for some good Korean food. I got the Korean seafood pancake and soft tofu stew with seafood (shrimp, clams and oysters). Your meal comes with a full set of ban chan. The food was good but a little different than what I expected. The pancake had egg, which is uncommon in Korean pancakes, so the texture was different and tasted very eggy. Still good but just different. The soft tofu stew is often spicy, but this one didn't have as much spice. It was full of tofu and seafood though. A little more expensive than other Korean restaurants in the area but very nice sit down restaurant; clean and more modern. Service was a little slow but we were in no rush. I'd recommend coming in at 6-6:30pm for dinner. There was a line and it started to get really full after 7pm. read more

Stone Bowl House is one of my go to Korean places! It's on Buford, which is a little closer to Atlanta than Duluth and surrounded by other great restaurants. I love this place because the banchan is good, the food is reliable, and it's a nice and clean establishment. Their Daegee Kalbi Kimchi Jungol is sooo good. It's a kimchi stew cooked with pork spareribs and it's very delicious over rice. It's not too spicy, the meat was mostly tender and there was plenty of meat. It says it's a larger dish for two but I think it can feed 4 girls. Their signature dish is the stone bowl bibimbap I think (since it's in their name), and while I like it overall, I feel like it could have more flavor/gochujang. I took some of the leftovers home and added extra gochujang and sesame oil and it's so much better. Their banchan is always good and fresh! They only do 5 free refills. I'd recommend the potatoes, potatoes, and potatoes. The fish cakes are good too, the bean sprouts, and the radish are some of my faves. Parking is super easy, service is overall pretty quick.

I came to this restaurant this past weekend and I had the worst customer service the server never introduced herself , demanded a 15% tip.. was so unprofessional. The food was great but the service was so disappointing! read more

The worse and most hostile waitresses I have EVER had! She was completely awful to us the entire time we were there. She proceeded to go get her calculator and calculate her made up 15% gratuity for everyone at our table except the one person paying in cash! There was not one sign posted saying minimum 15% gratuity! read more

Overall: I came here because my friend had been here when they first opened. Let me preface the entire concept has completely shifted since then (prix fixe back then to normal now). The service was incredibly slow and the food was very average. Wide variety of selections that you may not find normally but based on initial inspection not worth trying. Food: very average bibimbap without any of the gochujang sauce (in the bowl or in a bottle). The type of kimbap I could make at home in 10 minutes that took almost 20. The soup selections we ordered were a bit better but the whole concept lacked any direction. It felt like they threw all their extra ingredients into a bowl of stock and let the magic create itself. Service: I feel saddened that there were only 2 ahjummas running the entire restaurant but at the same time I was expecting more from this esteemed establishment. It was difficult getting a table (enough seats), getting our orders in, and getting our banchan. read more

Wow my last review of this place was 4/26/10 ... when the mushroom dolsot bibimbop was just $12.95, and now $18.95 :) I got an ROTD on 10/15/20 ... but looks like this updated review removed my original review :( BUHSUT DOLSOT BIBIMBOP (mushrooms) - $18.95 Still my favorite - part of the magic is the special sauce for this particular dolsot bibimbop. The banchan is good too - 8 different selections when most restaurants serve 7 max, and also comes with a soup broth. FYI while most Korean restaurants do unlimited refills for banchan, they clearly mention they do 5 max refills - which I think is more than reasonable. I had enough food for 2 meals. Service is friendly. FYI lunch specials on Thu/Fri 11:30-2:30pm. Closed Tue/Wed. read more

Came here on a Friday afternoon for lunch. I've been here before a couple years ago and I remember loving it. It wasn't as great this time. It started off with the waitress, who seemed annoyed by my asking questions. She didn't even tell me what the Banchan were, just dropped them on the table and left. She seemed annoyed when I asked what they were a second time after she responded "sides". I got "tea", which I think was barley water, but she didn't give me a glass of plain water. The bibimbop was fine, but had like 2 bites of bulgogi. The restaurant is clean, and the other waitress did eventually check on me and bring me water. It was a weird experience after remembering it fondly and recommending it to others. read more

Stone Bowl House - Bulgogi and banchan - Korean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This review is based on a recent weekend lunch. SBH is a Korean resto.serving traditional fare in an unremarkable strip-mall on BuHi OTP. We waited about half an hour along with 10+ people to be seated. They have a sign-in sheet so sign in but stay there rather than leave with your number on the sheet. I didn't see them call anyone. They had a steady stream of people coming in. +. Unlike tight parking lot outside, inside, the ambiance is calm and traditional. It's designed to maximize seating and slightly dark as in no windows. Somehow they've made it more private than it is by sectioning their dining room. ++. Food is traditional so don't expect to find Americanized sugar ridden muck here. Everything including bunchun were on point. I had spicy squid dorl sot bibim bop. It was well executed and tastalicious! Although some people like the overcooked crunch rice at the bottom but I'm not a fan so i mixed mine often as I ate. My friend enjoyed their dish as well. Apparently they buy bunchun rather than make them in-house. A little disappointing, but they were all very good! +. Pricing is slightly higher but not unreasonable. $30 - $50 pp. for lunch. An odd thing for this traditional resto is that they charge extra for bunchun IF you ask more than several times. Perhaps some people don't know that bunchun are supposed to compliment your meal and are eaten as condiments NOT as appetizers. ++. Service was friendly and prompt. Our waitress was stretched thin, but she checked in on us often. +. Parking is shared with other merchants and is free. There's a deck below for additional spots. Overall, SBH is a great little traditional Korean resto. This is what REAL Korean food tastes like!
