A Culinary and Cultural Korean Experience
KPOP BBQ and Bar is a new restaurant in Towne Lake that offers more than a unique culinary experience: it gives diners a glimpse into Korean culture by introducing them to Korean barbecue. The cultural exploration is enhanced by the restaurant’s modern décor, a reflection of the name KPOP, a term for Korean pop music. The trendy style includes two colorful KPOP-style works of art, and 11 televisions that play KPOP music and sports. Owner Jae Y. Shim opened the restaurant in June 2019. Shim, along with her staff and servers, are excited to introduce the Korean BBQ dining experience to this suburban community.
ALL YOU CAN EAT. Diners sit around a table with a grill in the center. Food is served family-style, explained at each
step, and prepared on the grill by the server. The lunch menu offers a range of beef, pork, and chicken dishes. The dinner menu offers more premium items including KPOP Steak, galbi, ribeye, shrimp, and calamari. Meals are priced per person.
IN A SUPPORTING ROLE. Side dish choices include bean sprouts, pickled radish wraps, kimchi, pickled veggies, cucumber, broccoli, and two salads. Appetizers and desserts also are available. A kids’ menu offers chicken nuggets, mac ‘n’ cheese and fries.
FULL BAR. The cultural experience continues with Korean choices of Soju, a rice-and-potato-based liquor similar to the sake that pairs well with Korean foods. The bar also serves flavored soju, Korean beer and soju cocktails. Korean beer as well as American liquor, beer and wine, also is available.
Senior citizens, firemen, policemen, ambulance, school faculty staff and members of the military get a 10% discount. “While there are many Korean BBQ restaurants in Georgia, there are not a lot in suburban communities,” general manager Alex Yi said. “We want to build a lasting impression all around Georgia, and spread Korean culture, as well as Korean food, to Towne Lake and surrounding areas. The people of Towne Lake already feel like family.” We take pride in our ability to discover the most unique flavors and share them with the Woodstock area. Join us.
