First let me say Finally Buford gets a good Korean restaurant! now that I got that out of the way I will start with the service, From the moment I walked through the doors I was greeted with a smile and a warm welcome and the smell of what was a Delicious sweet aroma and what was about to be an amazing meal. The Owner James gave us a recommendation on what to try which was The "Fire Chicken Noodle" and I myself ended up grabbing a bowl and customizing it Plus he also let us try an order of the rice balls, Let me say the food was amazing the quality of ingredients are even better, my Wife being a picky eater she fell in love with the Fire Chicken Noodle and My bowl was absolutely mind blowing. As for the atmosphere the place was very clean and well lit with various Korean music videos playing in the background. My experience at TopPoke was one to remember and I suggest to the people of Buford and the surrounding areas try it at least once...But for real Korean Fried chicken got crunch that makes you wanna munch

I drove 25min to try this place and got two to-go bowls. The first bowl was a beef bulgogi bowl and the second was supposed to be a spicy squid and tuna bowl. They made the beef bowl by adding rice first, then beef, then add toppings. The process was suppose to be the same for the second bowl except the guy abruptly told the other employee to finish my order after adding the rice. They then completely forgot to add any meat (spicy squid/tuna) to my second bowl and proceeded to add veggie toppings and remaining process while I could only assume they added the meat. So I ended up paying $9 for a bowl of brown rice with some veggies and sauce on it. It was very irritating to discover this when I returned home, hungry. Perhaps they can train the employees to pay better attention. It should have been extremely obvious to the person adding toppings to a bed of brown rice. To make matters worse, it was not busy and no one in line behind me. This place owes me $9. The beef bulgogi bowl was otherwise good.

Went in on a Sunday after they had been open since the previous Thursday. Place was extremely clean and well set-up. Food was yummy and tasted fresh. The owner (one of two brothers that were co-owners) helped us behind the counter and explained how the menu worked, although we had been to a different poke restaurant before so we were familiar. My gf and I both had bowls with steamed rice and spicy tuna and salmon (different toppings/fillings) and enjoyed both bowls. The owners also brought us out different behind the counter made to order foods to try. We tried the rice cakes/fish cakes and a sushi roll that was very good. Well be back for fresh and filling food in no time. For anyone unfamiliar with the idea of poke, its fairly easy to describe it as korean/japanese Moes/chipotle. You get your choice of protein/rice/toppings/sauce/etc and can build your own bowl that ends up being like an open sushi of sorts. Really yummy.

I went into "TopPoke" expecting it to be this lavish restaurant while preparing myself for a hurting wallet. Fortunately, the place was modern, pleasant, CLEAN and the service was friendly and cheery. The way to order the food reminds me of Chipotle or Halal Guys, where they put your choice of foods into a bowl right in front of you. The Poke Bowl is great! It might not look like its a lot, but it definitely fills you up and your mouth is going to be loaded with a variety of Korean flavors and textures. It was amazing. The price is expectant of a Poke/sushi place- in fact it was cheaper than I expected. So basically, if you want to eat with friends or fly solo in your bummy comfort clothes, this is a place to try out. (Btw theres not only sushi/poke, theres a dokbokki "Toppoke" menu, kimbop, bibiminbop, meats, and even omurice!).

Amazing food, I just wanted to confirm that the crispy tofu is vegan. I have been to the restaurant 3 times this week and I just want to make sure I am not consuming any egg or milk (which is sometimes used to make fried tofu). Does anyone know this answer to this? Other than that, the gochujang sauce and the veggies are super fresh. I wish there was a crispy tofu vegan kimbab. There are so few vegan Korean options in Georgia, I am so happy I found this place!

TopPoke is the perfect fusion of Korean and Poke (Hawaiian fish salad). From the Poke bowl to Korean fried chicken, rice balls or sushi you will find something youll like. I suggest you start with the bowl. The staff will help you pick the perfect mix by explaining all the options to add to your poke bowl. Top it all off with the Mango Ice Tea. Try it, I am sure youll gi back.

This place really shocked me i got a salmon and tunna poke bowl and thr fish was extremly fishy and i couldnt thr rest of the bowl amd my friend got tuna and spicy tuna and had the same thoughts and we both just threw it away was very disapointed i dony know if it was just a bad day or what but you shouldnt keep fish for that long

This was my sons Kimbob roll and dumplings, the rest of had the bowls, very good and at a good value price. At first you dont think it that much food, but it really is a lot and filling. There are lots of options to mix sauces and toppings. There are healthy options like salad with toppings. Very good well definitely be back.

good prices and good food; the staff is really friendly as well. its nice to have a korean place closer than suwanee/duluth and it is basically just like being there! they play kpop music videos on the screen, so its nice to just relax and chitchat there.

Great blend of flavors and incredible service explaining all the different foods they offer. I got the Omurice with the Spicy Korean Chicken, it was extremely good. Their Sweet Tea was on point too, very sweet in the true Southern Tradition.

Excellent! Awesome food, awesome price, and awesome service! Im so happy there is somewhere like this amongst all of the fast food and fried chicken that typically blankets Georgia suburbs. 10/10 will be coming here as my weekly treat.

Delicious !! I just tried it for the first time & it was very good !! You have so many options ! I created my own "poke bowl" with rice & chicken + steak, and many veggies with it as well! Very good . Go try it !!

Seriously. My new favorite spot in the Mall of Georgia area. Food doesnt get better than this. The kimbap rolls are a must have and the fried chicken is to die for - I recommend getting the sweet chili sauce!

Ive been enjoying Korean food for over 30 years and its been a pleasure trying many variations in style and approach. This one is also a winner in simplicity and introduction to its food culture.
