A lease has been signed with "Stone Age Korean Steakhouse" at Ashford Place in Dunwoody. The new Korean steakhouse is opening in a roughly 7,200 square foot space left vacant since the 2022 closure of Memphis BBQ Co. The space was also previously occupied by Firkin & Gryphon, a British pub, and before that, Smokey Bones, a casual BBQ restaurant.
The owners of Stone Age Korean Steakhouse opened their first location in Huntsville in August 2020, followed it up with one in Madison (November 2022) and Birmingham/Hoover (February 2024).
Similar to the newly opened Sushi Kingdom, Stone Age features an AYCE (All You Can Eat) menu model where kids are those ages 5 to 9 and adult pricing starts at age 10. The restaurant offers both hot pot and Korean BBQ with prices offered individually or with access to both. Diners are allowed a maximum of two hours to complete their meal. There is no mention of whether the restaurant charges customers a fee for unfinished food.
The opening of Stone Age in Dunwoody marks the return of a Korean steakhouse to the area following the closure of Breakers Korean BBQ at Perimeter Mall last August.
Although officially in Sandy Springs, Top Korean BBQ & Hot Pot, which opened in November 2022 in the former Sweet Tomatoes on Peachtree Dunwoody Road, is less than two miles from where Stone Age is opening. Here, kids are separated into two categories: Ages 4-6 and ages 7-10 with "adult" pricing starting at age 11. Top's menu indicates it has the right to charge customers $13.99 per pound for "food waste."
Further away, Iron Age Korean Steak House has since 2018 had a location at The Prado, the Target-anchored shopping center just inside the perimeter along Roswell Road in Sandy Springs. According to the Iron Age menu, kids are those ages 4-7 with "adult" pricing applying to anyone age 8 and above. Iron Age's menu indicates they charge customers $5 per ounce for "leftover food."

All you can eat is ridiculous….how about a place that serves human portions.
This joins the new Korean Steakhouse in Alpharetta, also in a former Sweet Tomatoes location.
There's also an Iron Age in Kennesaw. 840 Barrett Parkway
Human portions you say? Just the other evening, I enjoyed a liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti
^^^ Low dopamine "developed" nations. People don't know how to fill the void in their life by richer & complex ways other than by easily gorging themselves in futility. That's why gluttony rests as early as the Third Circle of Hell* in Dante's Inferno because it's atavistic, low-hanging fruit.
*arguably the Second if you discount the First (*Limbo)
I agree, Ace.
boring
Next to close, if breakers can’t make it this has no chance. $33 lunch ayce with very limited meat options? Who’s the owner of this place?
Is it just me or Is it true, that we are starting to see hi end Asian concepts pop up all over Dunwoody perimeter sandy Springs, doeavillec, etc. unfortunately, it reminds me of The vasr wasteland of shuttered Asian restaurants erin the vicinity The Gwinnett Place mall, Duluth, John’s Creek etc
Until they clear the apartments from near those locations, they'll never draw the affluent clientele which will keep them in business.
that location in dunwoody is a loser, since one cannot access it going north on Ashford Dunwoody, without going a ways past and making a dangerous u-turn. The prior operators all complained about the traffic pattern being a main cause of slow business.
@ Anonymous - affluent clientele do not go to AYCE restaurants. These places suit the same people who flood the midnight buffet on Carnival cruises.
Every cruise has buffets no matter how much the cruise costs, and they are always crowded. AYCE!
@August 3, 2024 at 3:21 AM What do you mean wasteland shuttered? The Asian restaurants in Duluth (around Gwinnett Place Mall)/Suwanee/John's Creek are thriving. So many are opening up every month as well.
