678 Korean Bbq - Duluth

I've visited this restaurant several times, but my most recent experience was outstanding! First of all, the staff was incredibly helpful and went out of their way to assist with cooking our meal. The food itself was absolutely delicious—the galbi was tender and flavorful, and it paired perfectly with the complimentary side dishes. Food: 5/5.

We had a wonderful experience at this Korean BBQ restaurant. The service was excellent, with waiters who expertly grilled the meat for us. The portion size meant for four people was quite generous, so we chose not to order it. Instead, we went for a combination meant for two and added a few more dishes, which ended up being the perfect amount for our group of four.

This is my favorite Korean BBQ spot in town. I always opt for the all-you-can-eat option and inevitably end up overeating! I highly recommend the beef brisket and seasoned pork neck. Plus, you get unlimited side dishes like bean sprouts and grilled kimchi. Food: 5/5

Here are some notable points: I. PARKING The restaurant offers a free, private parking lot right out front, which is convenient. II. SERVICE The service was nothing special. We had to ask for more banchan, rice, and even lettuce. It was surprising to have to request lettuce, especially since my Korean fiancé noted that he’s never had to ask for 쌈 at a KBBQ before. They also didn’t bring cheese corn to our table this time, even though there was an empty spot in the grill where it normally goes—perhaps they just forgot? Usually, at the end of our meal, we would get a complimentary yakult or even a melona, but this time, nothing at all. While we understand that inflation has affected prices, we didn’t anticipate a decline in service and available items. This inconsistency makes it hard for us to recommend the restaurant to others. III. QUALITY The quality of the meat and marinade remains excellent. The banchan is also good, and the kimchi here is never sour! IV. CAPACITY There was plenty of seating available on a Friday evening, so we didn’t have to wait for a table.

The food was absolutely delicious! They use wood chips instead of a gas grill, which gives everything a fantastic flavor. We ordered the cubed meat and seasoned kalbi beef, both of which were incredibly tender and juicy. We will definitely be returning! Food rating: 5/5.
