Korean food is famous for beef barbecue, also called bulgogi, plus seafood and kim chee. Dishes are never deep-fried. They are usually steamed, stir-fried or grilled, so most dishes are low in fat and very healthy. Atlanta, Georgia, prides itself on its ethnic diversity, and nowhere is this seen more clearly than in the expansive range of authentic cuisine that can be found all over the city. There are a number of Korean Restaurants in Atlanta.
This spacious restaurant on Atlanta's ethnically rich Buford Highway has a wide array of authentic Korean dishes. While Hae Woon Da specializes in Korean beef barbecue, the menu offers a variety of seafood, meat and poultry dishes from stir-frys to soups. This is a spacious, nicely decorated restaurant, and it's a good place for large groups, as dinner meals are cooked at your table over wood briquettes. All of the entrees come with numerous side dishes of kim chee, spicy fermented vegetables.

88 Tofu House is best described as a hole in the wall. Open 24 hours a day and seven days a week, this sparsely decorated restaurant is favored among night owls wanting something a little different from what they can get at the Waffle House. Customers don't go to 88 Tofu for the ambience; they go for fresh Korean food at great prices. Despite its name and the fact that tofu soup is one of its best sellers, the menu offers plenty of meat, vegetable and noodle dishes.
