I usually find myself on Buford Hwy or in Duluth if Im craving Korean, or anything Asian for that matter. I had no idea that Cobb has like 3 Korean joints. I recently checked this place out. Love the ambience,lots of light. I love the setup as well where u order up front and they bring the food out to you. So far Ive had the stone bibimbap and regular bibimbap. I like them both; have tried with different meats and tofu as well. Its so yummy it feels impossible to order anything else. Nxt time I will attempt the tacos. Regarding their bubble teas...if you want fresh,this is the place to get it. I was wondering why they took so long one time when I ordered coconut, I mean,he was extracting it in the back! As someone who grew up in the tropics, I recognize that taste. I would def recommend this place. Yes it is a bit on the pricey side,but that is a non-issue if you go during lunch hours. Oh,and they are so friendly and so nice!!!

Ive been here twice. *First time was to try their bubble tea (bc no where other than buford hwy and downtown has it) and I love bubble tea! The second time, today, to eat dinner and try another bubble tea. (Which was delicious mango! ) I had the bibimbap with beef and veggies and hot sauce. It was very good and while a little different than what Im used to at my korean restaurants, it was still very yummy. Love that they have a lot of vegan options for my husband, and regular stuff for me. The food took a long time to make and the employee began mopping with a very potent smelling floor cleaner around us before the restaurant officially closed. ..so I was eating and breathing in bleach and cleaner...it was horrible. I hope this doesnt happen next time.

I think Big Joy is one of my favorite, and has best Korean restaurant in Atlanta. Not having to drive all the way to Duluth is a big big plus. {rice is great compare to any other korean restaurants as just regular bi bim bap would cost around 13 bucks in Duluth (here, around 9) Try their hot stone pot bi bim bab. It was awesome and it was one of the best I ever had in the States. And for the drinks, ask them to make honey dew smoothie with tapioca in it. they may have charged few more quarters but it was more than worth it. Only flaw is they dont open on Sunday like chick fil a. and lunch can be super busy with all the office people, try to go in after 2PM to get the cool and enjoy the Kpop while u sip on them chills

Big Joy is an amazing fusion of Korean, Mexican and South American. All the ingredients are incredibly fresh and the sauces are amazing. I am usually wary of anything fusion. Come on, what is more American than Mexican and Asian? Big Joy does it right combining fresh ingredients and grilled meats for a healthy, great tasting, fast food alternative. I have to add that they make some of the best Kim-Chi I have ever had. Food is very reasonably priced, they run lunch specials around 6 dollars and the service is wonderful (there are no servers it works like a chipotle or subway where you choose your veggies, meat, etc). If you are wondering if you should give this place a shot the answer is a definite yes.

Excellent lunch spot! Build your own tacos or burritos. Korean and Hispanic food fused together, with plenty of other things to try. Get your bbq pork tacos with cucumber kimchi, sweet coleslaw, cilantro and a spicy house sauce as an example of the flexibility of your creations Home made teas are great but on the super sweet side so consider watering it down a little. A hand full of items are more expensive than i would like (boba milk tea) Lastly they have 1.50 tacos on Wednesday which is a great deal

After reading the reviews, hubby and I decided to try them for a quick bite. We ordered the Bibimbap with beef and a kiwi spinach smoothie. The bibimbap was average. Ive had much better at other Korean restaurants. The smoothie as good but a little sweeter then expected. It was pricey at $5 and it was no bigger than my normal $3/3.50 smoothies. My experience at Big Joy did not leave me wanting to come back, but I would eat here if Im in the neighborhood and someone suggested them.

The food was okay, but the experience was horrible. They barely spoke English at a restaurant clearly marketed toward the typical American. The wait was ridiculous. It was like theyve never served more than 3 tables before. My friend asked for a bubble tea. He had to ask for it again twice. He eventually went to get a refund and the cashier pretended to have no idea what he was talking about. I dont u understand how this place has such a high rating.

Fantastic place. All the reviews are right about the quality of the food. The stone bowl bibimbap is as good as any other Ive ever had. My only complaint is a combination of environment and service. The location feels like a fast casual place but it took 15+ mins for the food to come out. It was completely laid back but the owner took care of us. Just wish we knew what to expect before arriving.

Awesome experience!! My husband and I both ordered the hot pot bibambap with a side of kimbap. Generous portions, healthy and delicious. I wasnt a fam of the kimchi, but other than that, it was a great first experience for Korean bbq! They have lots of flavors for bubble tea as well. Also enjoyed the KPop that plays while you eat. Looking forward to coming back!

Big Joy is my new favorite place. It was my first time trying Bibimbap, and it was absolutely wonderful. Bubble tea is phenomenal! The workers are polite and pleasant. Its a blessing to find Big Joy so close to home rather than traveling all the way to Buford highway to fulfill my cravings for Korean food. Definitely would recommend to my family and friends!

Food was absolutely amazing. Order takes a good 20-30minutes to get (including appetizer). Customer service from most employees was freaking on point except for a couple who are just awful. Couldnt explain the menu or what the foods were or anything!! Id recommend it if you are mad patient!

Jay, thank you much for helping me find something that reminded me of Pyeongtaek-Si and food outside the post there. I hope you get a chance to visit Suwon again soon =). Best wishes to you and yours, kamsahamnidah! (that expression is hard to spell in English, haha)

The owner is here every day and is very nice. I like the food so much, I ate here twice in one day. While its possible that someone in atlanta makes a better bubble tea, I have yet to find it. Boba is also available in many different flavors which I like quite a bit.

This place is wonderful. Everything I try there is great. The bibimbap, kimbap, ramyun, miso soup, kimchi, etc they are all very delicious. The service is outstanding! I go here very often and I am never disappointed. If you havent tried Big Joy please do.

I have only eaten the stone bibimbap in all of my visits to Big Joy, but its so good I cant help but order it every time! Great place, laid back atmosphere, and friendly staff. The owner takes great pride in his restaurant, and it really shows.
