Breakers is neither a new nor new-to-us restaurant but it’s been one I’ve been wanting to feature for awhile. So here goes!Korean BBQ restaurants that I’ve been to in Atlanta follow a similar model – there’s a grill at your table, banchan is served (pickled and fermented veggies, salads, noodles, etc.), and diners choose from a couple of “all-you-can-eat” meat options that are cooked at the table and eaten with the banchan.

At Breakers, there is a ventilation system that runs under the grills, so diners don’t leave smelling like smoke – a huge plus. Breakers is also quieter than some local competitors, with some private booths and tables that make it great for families and socializing.

Pictured below is a normal setting of banchan at Breakers – japchae (Korean glass noodles), salad, kimchi, pickled radishes, pickled asian pear and peppers, kimchi cucumbers, and soybean sprouts.

Beautiful!

There are many different kinds of meats diners can order. Some of my favorites are the beef brisket, beef bulgogi, pork belly, spicy chicken, and squid. The servers bring the meat and fire up the grill. They will come by to turn and cut the meat, and to serve the diners but diners can also take an active role – it’s fun!

You eat the meat with the various banchan and everything brings a unique flavor and texture. I love folding the radishes like mini tacos and filling with meat, lettuce, rice and anything pickled. So good!

Korean BBQ is such a great dining experience – it’s interactive, delicious and memorable. 

Oh – and don’t forget the soju! It’s a Korean rice spirit that is excellent with the food. It’s for sipping, so don’t knock it back like a shot!

Finished radish wrap. One of my favorite combinations at Korean BBQ. 

Breakers is definitely our go-to Korean BBQ spot in Atlanta. The quality is great, the service is prompt and attentive, it’s family-friendly and they take reservations. I highly recommend it!
