It’s great to see Korean barbecue is heading west away from Buford highway etc. into the Alpharetta Roswell areas.I found this place was close so I decided try it. Ive eaten Korean for the last 25 years being married to a Korean I know Korean food good from the bad decent from the semi-decent.The food was really good, it wasn’t great but the service was good the food had that Korean quality that Korean taste you would expect and want to have.But it wasn’t perfect meaning they’re still working on flavors, I expect with a little more marinade etc. they will get it right. The kimchi was a little too young and the BulGogi was missing that Korean sweetness with other sauces.I will go back because I know they will get it right eventually being that they’re new.

Great service, even on an extremely packed night. One of the best dinners out that we've had for weeks.My family and I ordered their "sampler" dinner, so that we could try a bit of everything. It was fun grilling a meal at the table with our server, and we really appreciated his advice and answering our questions.The meats were very well-selected, and we especially liked the marinated steak (EM Bop steak) and the spicy chicken. Vegetables were fresh and crispy. The sides of kimchi and pickles were very nice, and the thin slices of radish wraps were really fun to try. Portions were good sizes, but not so much that 3 of us weren't stuffed too early on. Things marked "spicy" are pretty mild, and all the sides and rice make it easy to take down the heat if it adds up.In addition to the meal, I really enjoyed trying their varieties of Soju to drink. This is a really smooth Korean alcohol, with a kick somewhere between wine and vodka. It also comes in flavored varieties besides original: I tried Citron and Grape and was very happy.Parking was easy. Good handicapped access inside for walkers and wheelchairs.We're very much looking forward to coming back soon, and we're recommending E.M. Bop to our friends and to our neighborhood.

Ordered food to go. Guy at the front was extremely friendly and helpful. He suggested that I get the bibimbop, which I did, I ended up getting the spicy squid bibimbop. It was like every flavor exploded in my mouth, it was the most delicious food I've had in Alpharetta in a while. I'll definitely be back!

I thought the food was very good and our waiter did a great job. The tables looked like it was all separated for social distancing and they are careful around customers. I would definitely go back and recommend it to others. I even tried some things I normally wouldnt and was very happy I did.

korean food, quality stuff. Good place to catch up with friends. Next time I'll be back with my friends. This place has a nice feel to it. Food is similar to a cafe in Portland I loved.

First time here with friends and had a great experience! Food was much better than another place we tried. Service was great and fast and we were checked on often. We tried all you can eat opt B but couldn't try all the meat since it was just too much. I would recommend and will be returning.
First time here with the family and this place was awesome!!! The food, the service , the atmosphere was so wonderful! The way they grill your beef, chicken, or shrimp was delicious. This is my new go to dinner spot with the family!! Also the Korean dessert was so delicious and satisfying and so beautifully presented! Five stars all across the board!

I had been wanting to try Korean BBQ forever and decided to take the plunge after seeing the reviews here.They had all you can eat options for around $30 a person, different tiers with different meats, and I was comparing it to the combos which were about $100-ish, so I asked the server what the difference is other than all you can eat. For the combos they bring all the meats out at once, and the AYCEs they bring them out two at a time. We were never without meat. There was a slight delay here and there between the servings but nothing too bad. Seemed like a silly difference for the skewed pricing.With the meats, they provide a salad (which was really good (ginger dressed)), a really weird soup (did not taste good), a scallion pancake (this was delicious!), and a whole bunch of pickled vegetable and kimchi (cold, smelly, and just yucky). We also tried the egg souffle, which I really wanted to love because it was so beautiful, but it was really tasteless and wet. The only seasoning on anything was the pickled vegetables and the marinates on the meats. Most of the meats were pretty bland. That was really disappointing.It was a fun experience to cook right in front of you, but I probably wouldn't go again. Not sure if this is the experience in all of these places, if I just came on a bad night, or if it's just not for my palate.

This place is amazing! We came here because I won a giftcard through instagram and it was both our first time at a Korean BBQ restaurant. We got the Seoul combo special. It came with three meats (seasoned pork galbi, steak, and another galbi), lots of small appetizers, miso soup, egg soufflé, tofu soup, salad, Korean pancake, and steamed white rice. Everything was just absolutely delicious! The meat was seasoned perfectly and cooked in the most tender and moist way. We loved the egg souflee and small appetizers that came with the meal. There were three sauce options, a spicy one, a sesame oil, and a soybean sauce. Our server was very nice and explained everything to us, giving us recommendations on what is most popular and which sauce to use for each meat. The soju was also great, highly recommend! We got the grape flavored one and it came with two shot glasses. It was sweet and tasty but I definitely felt tipsy after 3 shots. It was a nice touch to the meal! As far as the safety during covid-19, I think they did good. The tables were spaces apart and the server/hosts were masks. I felt comfortable dining in. We will definitely come back again!

All you can eat Korean BBQ!They offer options A, B, and C.A being the cheapest with several different meat to choose from and C offering the most selection. We chose option A which was about $25 per person and 1/2 price for children under the age of 11. The quality of the meat was not superb but pretty good. Of the meat we had, pork kalbi (marinated) was the best. Bulgogi and brisket (chadolbegi) was pretty good as well. I would go there again but I can say in confidence that I have been to better Korean BBQ places. Servers were friendly and the establishment was very clean.
