Cow Wow Korean BBQ

My siblings and I came here on a Saturday night to find them about half way full. We got seated right away by their kind host after finding easy parking in their lot. Between the three of us, we shared the combo for two which included eggs, salad, cream corn, and soy bean stew. Plus there's always the sides of onion, few types of daikon, kimchi, and green peppers with ssamjang. We also split the beef tartar which was the first time I've ever had it and I am absolutely in LOVE with it. Would 10/10 come back just for this for how fresh, sweet, and spicy it is! All the meats were cooked and seasoned well. Overall, I had a phenomenal experience with delicious food and top notch service. The ambience is super comfortable and reminiscent of the Korean establishments. I would love to come again and recommend others to check them out!

Great original wings cooked with a hint of olive oil. They got my chicken wing order wrong when I last ordered to go, but partly my fault. Wish they made and effort to rectify it, but I know it's a costly mistake...and not 100% their fault. Yum!

-kinda of pricey as there are better bbq restaurants -service was friendly + attentive and cooked the food -kimchi and naengmyeon were very bland (but I liked how the noodles had the icy broth) -marinated galbi is the best thing that I had -non-seasoned cuts weren't the best -would come here just for the marinated beef -restaurant looked clean and it wasn't too smoky inside

Cowwow has a very beautiful and spacious interior. Its very cute in that it feels so much like an amusement park set-up like a Hollywood backdrop. While walking to our table you can see their meats in a long glass display. My wife and I decided to order a combo which included pork and beef. This place definitely seemed like it was going to be all about beef, hence the name.Once our platter came out and the server started cooking the pork neck we realized there wasn't any pork belly. The server explained that we had a choice, but since we didn't choose they "defaulted" to pork neck. We were displeased since they never asked which one we wanted. This is an auto dock of one star in my book. To remedy the situation, which just order an order of pork belly, what's another $30 right? The brisket was cut pretty thick compared to what I am used to and had a lean dry taste. If you ever want a soft thin cut brisket try Honey Pig.The pork neck was juicy and tender, but again something was off about the overall pork taste.The egg souffle is cooked around the rim of the grill and was ok. Not bad or exceeding good.Corn cheese came out in a rectangular casserole dish and was ok. Again not bad or exceedingly good/distinct.My favorite meat was the marinated beef. It had some tenderness and tasted good after I dipped it in sesame oil and salt.Pork belly was thick and cut into nice strips. Cooked well, but buttery and fatty taste just didn't come through.Service, was very good and attentive. Anything we needed was brought to us quickly and someone was always there grilling for us. The speed though was a bit too fast and we couldn't keep up. Meat was piling up on a side plate while more meat was being grilled. We should have told them to slow down, but since it wasn't AYCE, we knew we would be bringing back leftovers.Overall, we would NOT go back. There is just too many other KBBQ places around Duluth, Suwanee, and Doraville. There is actually a KBBQ right next to Cowwow also! The meat is not as fatty as I would like, and the pork just didn't hit right with us. Lastly, if you do go and get a platter, make sure you tell them what meat you would like if offered a choice on the menu.

We were quite satisfied with the combination platter for four, paired with the 소맥 (soju and beer mix) we enjoyed. The service was attentive, friendly, and left a positive impression on all of us. It was great to see the success of this restaurant, and I hope they continue to maintain their high standards of service and meat quality. One minor critique would be that the overall flavor of the meat was a bit too sweet for my taste.

Cow Wow Korean BBQ is yet another outstanding Korean barbecue restaurant to open in Gwinnett County, in Suwanee. Simply put, it's worth the drive from many places in metro Atlanta. We came from Midtown which took just over 30 minutes in light traffic.For a few folks I know, this is their new favorite Korean barbecue joint in metro Atlanta. I've heard from multiple people - some Korean/Korean-American - that think Cow Wow currently has some of the best, if not *the* best, meat quality in Georgia. I agree with them, but it's also hard for me to say definitively because I've had so much great Korean barbecue in metro Atlanta over the years and many of those experiences have been spread apart, timewise.That said, the meat quality we experienced here was indeed superb and certainly among the best we've had in recent memory. In addition, service was incredible. It solidified the five-star rating for me. Like other Korean barbecue restaurants, the staff here took a tag-team approach to serving and cooking for us. They were friendly, super attentive, and had great attitudes. This crew appeared to genuinely enjoy working with one another which elevated the mood/environment.The server who cooked for us the most was a young Korean lady named Stephanie. She was amazing. She stayed on top of everything. I regularly see servers bounce around different Korean barbecue restaurants in Gwinnett and asked her if she's worked anywhere else. She hasn't. She considered working at the older and more established 678 and 9292 restaurants in Duluth, but chose Cow Wow due to proximity. She went above and beyond and we made sure to take care of her and her team in return.Stephanie's coworker/buddy, another young Korean lady, noticed my wife was wearing a white blouse. She brought my wife an apron to wear because she didn't want my wife's blouse to get dirty. In all my years of eating Korean barbecue, I've never seen that before. It was unexpected and really nice of that server to do. Finally, the other server who did a substantial amount of cooking for us was an older Chinese-Korean lady who spoke both Mandarin and Korean. She spoke Mandarin to my wife and our friend. She made sure to cook the meats at the right pace for me since I'm a slow eater. At some Korean barbecue restaurants, I've felt rushed. Not here and I appreciated that. Needless to say, service was A+.Cow Wow opened in March 2023 in the same strip as All That Korean BBQ (next door, opened February 2019) and the Suwanee location of BBQ Chicken (two doors down). This space used to be a CVS Pharmacy. The main difference between Cow Wow and All That is quality. Cow Wow doesn't serve unlimited all-you-can-eat (AYCE) Korean barbecue, All That does. Cow Wow is more expensive, but the high-quality meat is worth it. And despite the set-menu, a-la-carte-nature of Cow Wow, the three of us ended up leaving absolutely stuffed with lots of leftovers to take home. Leftovers from a Korean barbecue restaurant are rare for me. That's how much food we got. Cow Wow serves generous portions.During our visit, they offered five combos and 16 individual meat options. To give you an idea on pricing, a five-course combo for two cost $109.99 and a 10-course combo for six cost $299.99. Lunch specials, not necessarily Korean barbecue, are available Monday-Friday, 11:30am-2:30pm.We got the combo for four ($199.99) which came with:* Thinly Sliced Brisket* Boneless Short Rib* Fresh Short Rib* Marinated Short Rib* Rib Eye* Pork Neck* Marinated Rib FingerEvery meat course was phenomenal with just the right amounts of marbling, seasoning, and/or marinade. Terrific flavors and textures. In general, succulent, rich, and tender.Banchan (side dishes) included salad, buchu kimchi (garlic chives kimchi), pickled radish and jalapeno, pink ssam mu slices (pickled daikon), fishcake, potato salad, fresh kimchi, and spicy pickled bean sprouts. Also included was egg cooked on the side of the grill (I love places that do this), corn cheese served sizzling on a skillet (bonus points for that), and steaming-hot doenjang-jjigae (fermented soybean paste stew, spicy). Condiments included sesame oil with salt and pepper and ssamjang (fermented soybean and red chili paste). We also got a bottle of Soon Hari Peach Soju ($14.99). While not bad, it tasted a bit mediciney.The dining rooms are spacious and outfitted with charcoal grills with adjustable hoods. Many places, like Breakers in Duluth and Ari in Johns Creek, have downdraft vents. Those are good, but not perfect. I think these adjustable hoods are even better. They directly suck up smoke from the grills. Clean grills were used for each meat course and grill types differed depending on the meat (as it should be). I will say Cow Wow doesn't have the "nicest" ambiance among the stiff local competition, but it's still pretty solid and functional. They have a couple private rooms in the back. Parties of six or more can book via OpenTable.

This has got to be my favorite KBBQ spot in the metro Atlanta area. The fact that it's 10 minutes from my parents' house is a big plus! The meat is so fresh and tasty (they showcase it behind glass counters), and the servers cook the meat for you. I also liked the intensity and spiciness of the sides/banchan they put out. A lot of the kpop that played was from the mid to late 2010s which was pretty nostalgic to me.I'd advise if you get the combo for 2, it very comfortably feeds/stuffs 3 people. More than worth it to me. It's about the same price as AYCE if you split that among 3 people. Yummy food, great service, nice and clean facilities. What more can you ask for?

5/5 ! The inside is pretty big and clean, nice interior . THE MEAT QUALITY is amazing!! This is my new go to kbbq, the meat quality is so good their set for 2 was plentiful, and a great array of meats. Also the pork belly is DELICIOUS such thick slice,Our server was always quick to attend to us, and constantly roasted our meat so it wouldn't burn. I highly recommend this place!

I tried out this KBBQ restaurant in Suwannee with friends last Saturday for dinner. Walked in around 6:30 pm and got a table for four without making reservations. It was pretty packed, but we got lucky and didn't have to wait. We ordered a combo serving for four which comes with steam eggs and corn cheese. Very good portion size and plenty of tasty side dishes. We got a refill of the steam eggs and several of the other side dishes. Service was pretty good with several servers grilling the meat. Ice cold soju and a couple bottles of Terra to complete our delicious meal.

My new KBBQ spot!678 has always been my favorite but Cow Wow has overtaken the throne. Meat is fresh and tasty, service is on point, and the vent works great that your eyes are safe from smoke!Also, their sides are delicious but everything does comes with a heavier price~ Although totally worth it in my opinion! Just wish that they go back to the thicker cuts on brisket as it was so good before! Location wise, Cow Wow is in the plaza next to Suwanee Hmart so it's definitely far outside of the perimeter.
