Breakers Korean BBQ Named Best in the Country

DULUTH, GA -- One of Gwinnett County’s numerous Korean barbecue restaurants has been named the best in the country.

Breakers Korean BBQ & Grill, at 3505 Gwinnett Place Dr. near Gwinnett Place Mall, beat out spots in New York, Chicago, Honolulu and elsewhere for the number-one slot in a recent roundup by TABELog.

“The restaurant oozes sophistication and class and offers a zen-like environment,” the blog says in its ranking. “White booths, low lighting, bamboo chandeliers and ceramic pottery displayed throughout make up the décor.”

The post specifically name-drops Breakers’ 5-layer pork belly and 21-day aged short ribs, as well as its use of ribeye instead of the traditional tenderloin for their bulgogi.

They also liked the restaurant’s “surprises” like berry house salad and sweet potato bisque.

“Breakers Korean BBQ really breaks the mold for Korean BBQ and earns our top spot!” the post reads.

Locals appear to agree. Breakers has a 4 1/2-star rating on Yelp, with users similarly celebrating its meats and diverse offerings.
