678 Korean BBQ

I have lost count how many times I have been here.
But every time, I left very satisfied.
The service and the food is just spectacular.
The combo options here are my favorite as it includes some of my favorite cuts. This is one stable for good quality korean bbq you can count on if you are lost because of the many choices.

Atmosphere: 678 Korean BBQ is a charcoal grill KBBQ spot with a relaxed vibe. There's a waiting area near the front of the restaurant and grills that stretch through the whole restaurant.

Service: We waited for about an hour on a Sunday for dinner, which we were a bit surprised by. However, we were able to wait in their separate waiting area, which was still quite chilly in the winter, so be sure to bring a jacket that you wouldn't mind smelling like BBQ after!

Food: We ordered all you can eat and tried their beef brisket, pork belly, spicy pork belly, and pork neck. They gave a good variety of banchan, and their side salads paired well with the meats. There were also some areas on the side of the grill for steamed egg, corn cheese, and kimchi to be cooked while your meat is getting grilled, which we thought was clever. The meats themselves were all fresh. Our favorite was the beef brisket, which was thin and had a balanced ratio of lean meat to fat.

Overall: 678 KBBQ is a solid spot for AYCE in Atlanta. While the wait can be a little on the long side, the unique charcoal flavor of the grill and the variety of banchan made the wait worth it. A drawback might be that their beef selection and marinated options are rather limited for AYCE, but from the items we've tried, we would happily indulge in another visit.

Was visiting Family in Duluth and went here for dinner, the meats were all extremely tasty and many didn't even require extra dipping sauce especially the Brisket and Pork Belly. Would definitely recommend trying this Korean BBQ

You jave have understand what the plan is I order to leave happy here. Are you coming alone or with others but just want a plate of your favorite protein, rice and side items for yourself? Or are you coming with friends and plan on sharing with the group?

The key, in my humble opinion, is knowing who you are with. Say you are slow eater but you have 3 friends who eat quite fast... your gonna lose out UNLESS you agree to just try and split everything (the meats) evenly.

The individual plates will run you anywhere from 30 to 40 dollars while the LARGE group platters can run you anywhere from 90 to 200 dollars, depending on the size you get.

All of their meats are delicious and theor staff is very helpful and friendly. The noodle soup you end with is more tnan plenty so make sure you leave a little room.

Overall great experience, specially if you're with friends who enjoy all sorts of proteins and flavors.

From what I understand, it's a long-standing restaurant. The servers were friendly and checked in often to ensure we didn't need anything. The quality of the meat was good, as were the side dishes and other items, but there are a few things I would like to point out.
1. the restrooms.
The restrooms were overflowing the day we were there. A staff member was constantly sucking the water out with a mop basket. Our family hated getting that sewer water on our clothes and legs.
2. fans.
The place we ate was at the corner in the backside. The fans look very old. The problem was that it could have blown out the smoke better. We had to eat in that smoke.
I recommend closing this restaurant for a day or two for building maintenance and fixing some things; then it would be almost perfect.

Haven't been here in years and was craving charcoal kbbq so me and my date came on a Friday for lunch. There's no lunch special for kbbq but there's a lunch menu for other items. We had to pay the $38.99/person for ayce. The service was good but it was also not that busy. We didn't have to wait at all to be seated. The charcoal flavor was well infused into the beef brisket, that's the protein i tasted the grill the most. All the other meats we tried were decent but the brisket and chicken were my favs. The pork belly was also good. There are also a decent amount of sides they served. Also, the soybean paste dipping sauce was super good. Don't sleep on it.

Stopped at 678 Korean BBQ for an impromptu dinner decision. The place was poppin' since it was Saturday. It was about a 45 minute wait before we got seated. Shortly after we ordered, all the fixins came out.

Now, I've been to a few Korean spots in my life but never have I seen a spread like this! Pickled radish slices, seasoned greened onions, and lots more! I skipped the rice to save room for what was about to happen.

Since this place was busy, and is probably the norm, the servers paid extra attention to ensure the food was prepared quickly and intentionally to ensure we were moving along in our meal, probably to get the table cleared for the other patrons. I can't get mad at that, especially since we never felt rushed.

The food was top notch. No complaints. I was worried with us having three kids (5-12 years old) that they wouldn't eat, but they enjoyed all the food all the same.

There was plenty of space and seating in the restaurant so we didn't feel crammed or crowded. All the TV's were playing K-pop to full effect and felt like we were in a club, if that makes or breaks it for you.

If we were to come through the Greater Atlanta area again, we will definitely come through here.

First time here coming from Orlando fl to norcross/Duluth GA for food :)
We go to Georgia for food reasons multiple times now. This is our first time at 678 korean. They had someone cook the meat for us the whole time.
We ordered the bbq for 2
It came with a few options of meat. Overall, the meat was very well cooked by the server and the flavor is bomb

It's been a while since I been here and I don't know what changed but nothing was really hitting today. 678 used to be one of my favorite place for Korean bbq. The service and atmosphere is the same but the food just wasn't it.

My kids always looked forward to coming here for the cheese and corn but they said it was was to creamy. I'm guessing bc they only used cheddar cheese this time. It's was very creamy and mushy. The steam eggs were also very plain. I'm not sure if they switched owners or have a new chef in the back but I was a bit disappointed.
