E.M. Bop Korean BBQ | Kennesaw, GA

We visited EM Bop in Kennesaw for lunch and chose their Premium All-You-Can-Eat option ($37.99 per person). Overall, we had a very enjoyable experience. The selection of meats was impressive, with plenty of variety to keep things interesting. Our favorites were the Hawaiian Bulgogi, Miso Pork Belly, and the Beef Bulgogi—all were flavorful, well-marinated, and cooked up beautifully on the grill. The kimchi was also outstanding: fresh, crisp, and packed with just the right balance of spice and tang. Service was attentive, and the all-you-can-eat format made it easy to try a wide range of options without feeling rushed. Final verdict: This is the best Korean BBQ in the area and we’ll be back.

The food here is good not great. I feel like ive had more flavorful kbbq. All the marinades taste too sweet for me. The tofu soup was okay. My favorite thing is probably the side macaroni salad to be honest. We've had our meat overcooked by the servers a couple times but thats fine. AYCE comes with icecream, but we didnt even know until months of coming here. I appreciate their lunch deal though.

My fiancé and I recently tried E.M. Bop Korean BBQ after my brother recommended it, and we’re so glad we did!! One of the best things about this place is their all-you-can-eat KBBQ options — they offer 3 different tiers at different price points, which I thought was really nice depending on what you’re in the mood for. We decided to go with the most expensive option (around $30ish) since it included a wider variety of meats, and everything we tried was AMAZING. For sides, we ordered the spicy tteokbokki with cheese and japchae (not included in AYCE), and honestly, the portions were super generous and definitely worth it. The flavors were on point! The service was also great — everyone was so friendly and attentive. Before we left, the host even reminded us that ice cream was included, which was such a nice touch. The matcha ice cream was SO good — the perfect way to end the meal. Overall, we loved everything about this place and will definitely be coming back!!

The service staff and atmosphere are excellent...and the menu is large too. You can order all-you-can eat, or by plate. My wife and I ordered by plate. To tell the truth but I'm not super big into Korean, but the menu had japchae, which I thought I loved because of a past experience, so I ordered it and the hotpot beef bulgogi & rice. I particularly enjoyed the Bulgogi. I decided I really only wanted the potatoe noodles in the japchae (all the veggies and spice in the japchae were a pass, personally), but try it once yourself- this place seemed legit Korean menu all the way.. My wife ordered spicy bipbimbop with medium rare beef, but the beef came cooked medium well.

I met up with some old friends today to catch up. The weather was cold and windy, traffic was miserable, but the moment we walked into this EM Bop location, all of that faded away. The warmth inside was an instant contrast to the chaos outside. We were greeted kindly and, after a short wait, shown to our table. Our server, Lina, was fantastic. She mentioned it was her first day of training, which honestly came as a surprise we never would’ve known. She checked in on us frequently, making sure we didn’t need a grill change, wanted to order more food, or needed our side dishes refilled. If management happens to read this, you’ve got a great addition to your team in Lina. 😎 The food was consistent with the Duluth location. The pork belly was incredibly satisfying, especially when paired with ssamjang. The marinated pork steak was another standout . Tender, flavorful, and well-marinated. The side dishes were prepared thoughtfully, refreshing the palate and somehow making room to eat even more
