came here some time ago with some friends to try some Korean street food. The name of the place is a little decieving, not Hispanic restaurant. I had the special such came with a little of everything, which was good... Most of what you get here, you can get at other korean restaurants but the price is cheap, great for students.
(3)Mindy R.
This place has the best dbbuki ever! So why the three stars?? Well, the restaurant sits in the sketchy area of Buford Hwy, where "people" stare you down from the next business over or ask for money. It is really great food but just be prepared. Ban chan is excellent. Definite hole in the wall.
(3)Yane Y.
Really, 3.5 stars, but I thought I'd round it up. Don Quixote is what I call "fast Korean food" (in korean, "boon sheek"). It is a Korean restaurant that has some of the Korean "snack foods" that you would not typically find at a Korean restaurant. Examples, you say? Tom C. wrote about "La Bok Ki" (ramen and spicy rice cakes). Other examples are duk-bok-ki, kim-bap (korean rolls), wings, etc. It looks like they've expanded their menu and have other things, but the two dishes that are most popular here are: Don Kat Su (Fried Pork Cutlets w/special don-kat-su sauce), "Om Rice" (Rice with egg on top -- like an omelet) and Duk-Bok-Ki (Spicy Korean Rice Cakes). They had this Korean bowl that was new last month (October 2012) and it was basically like bi-bim-bap (korean rice with veggies and meat). It had some veggies, egg, and a meat of your choice (either bulgogi or chicken teriyaki?). My colleague totally enjoyed it and it was a really reasonable price -- I can't remember right now. Anyway, I love their Don Kat Su (Fried Pork Cutlets), their Om Rice, their Jaeng Bang Gook Su (Spicy Cold Noodles w/veggies), Teriyaki Wings!, .... This place has been around awhile so it's not posh ... it's like a hole-in-the-wall, but Korean people come and eat here! Okay, not all Korean people... the "new K-town" is in Duluth ... so, most people go to Duluth but that's too far! and... this is the original. **I took my adventurous (two) co-workers here to try "fast" Korean food (snack foods), and they enjoyed it. It was a hole-in-the-wall, but they enjoyed. It's worth a try, at least, in my opinion. =)
(4)Sherry W.
I really want to like Don Quixote more than I actually do. It's family-owned, hole-in-the-wall, and very affordable. But I have to say that the limited dished that I've tried there have been rather mediocre. The first time I've dined in this humble establishment, I ordered the special dukbokki dish, which consists of a large portion of ramen, rice cakes, kimbap (kinda like a korean sushi roll), and mandu (korean potstickers). The presentation looked appetizing, but after eating 1/4 of the portion, I just felt like it was really bland and lacking contrasting flavors. Bibimbap and the banchans are average. However, I have tried some of my friend's don katsu and it was pretty good. So if you choose to dine here, definitely order that.
(3)Janet B.
Don Quixote has been my favorite Korean snack place for years. It's in a somewhat sketchy "strip" mall, and I'm not sure why it's called Don Quixote because there's nothing related to Don Quixote whatsoever inside. Despite these idiosyncrasies, you gotta love the place. You must try their spicy rice cake, or dduk bok ki, or the version with ramen noodles, ra bok ki. Soo delicious! Another favorite is their donkatsu. The sauce is amazing. I really like their kimchi too. Their omelet rice is alright, and bulgogi is decent. It's been renovated in the last few years, so it's not too shabby. I know people mostly go to Duluth for Korean food, but this is a little gem off Buford Hwy!
(5)Jason F.
Don Quixote may be nestled in the least appealing and perhaps sleaziest section of Buford highway, behind shooter alley next to a pornography theater, but for some reason I find myself coming back time and time again. (and it isn't for the adjacent entertainment). My personal favorites, are the Tonkatsu, Japche, and Bulgogi; for which the combined price is somewhere around $30 and is more than enough to feed two people with leftovers for lunch. First time dinners should know ahead of going. Some of the dishes are for lack of a better term "Semi-homemade" but the price is good the food is comforting and the service is friendly. So I am comfortable with giving this place a solid 4 stars in the Hole-in-the- wall category. And for the most adventurous Yelpers there is an ice cream shop nestled in the middle of the parking lot, almost exactly in between the strip club, sex toy shop, and porno theater called Bellagio's Ice Cream (Organic). I am not sure this place even has a Yelp page so you can be the first to review. I am not courageous enough to try it, but I eagerly await a braver person then me trying it. Bring Purell.
(4)Lisa Y.
I have definitely experienced better. I understand that the standard for this place are much lower due to the fact that it is "Korean fast food" and because prices are relatively on the cheaper side, but still.. Stopped by with the beau because I was hungry, and I've been wanting to try to this place again, since I have been since I was little. Ordered the ramen dubbokki, or labokki, as they say, and an order of hot wings. The beau isn't too fond of spicy foods, but after being with me for two years, his tolerance has gone up significantly, and he agreed that the food tastes much better with spice actually added to it. He's not even Korean and he questioned me as to why the food looked the way it did. He did not find it appetizing, and I was upset they didn't have cold noodles. We had poor service throughout as well. The only time they came to us was to drop the check off and to pick it up. I couldn't even get a refill. -.- I doubt I'll be back! Ugh!
(1)J M.
I'm so happy that I could try real Korean Bunsik(snack food) in Atlanta. This place is pretty much only for Koreans so most Americans don't even know that this place is exist. The place located in Buford highway and looks a little worn down(since the neighbors are not too great), but once you go inside you will change your mind. My husband and I go there pretty often to eat Donkatsu. It is Awesome! Just like korean style pork cutlet, not like Japanese one! I love that thin crispy pork slice!! Yum!! :D And also just a kind reminder, *****Don Quixote(Duluth) is CLOSED!****
(4)Sunny T.
I like the simple, fast, and cheap aspects of this place! If you are craving classic Korean Bunshik~ Love their Tonkatsu~ pork cutlet it's their best seller They've got many lunch specials for $7... This is a place I'd go on a rainy day to have my dduck bok kki (spicy rice cake) and kal gook soo (literal translation would be knife soup? but I guess it could be described as fresh cut noodle soup, usually with anchovy/seafood stock with veges) Hmm... I'm not sure if they have their menu in English or not... but if you are looking for a cheap but good Korean food fix~ try this place!
(4)Eileen S.
This place was great! Good food at a great price with the bonus of good service. I don't particular enjoy dukkbokki however the dukk at this place is the bomb. I got the dukkbokki special from a recommendation of a friend that frequents the place. The portions are very large; I got several meals out of my dish. I recommend eating all the dukk at the restaurant because dukk does not tend to stay well as a leftover. I also nabbed a bite of my friends' Tonkatsu. It was cooked so well; crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside (so many times you get fried foods that are too heavy or are overcooked and dry). I highly recommend this place. I will be back again soon!
(4)K P.
Visited ATL Dec 2012 This is inexpensive good Korean food. I got the sampler which came with ramen noodles, rice cakes, hard boiled egg, korean california rolls, fried dumplings, and some banchan/side dishes for $10. There's a picture of this dish posted as the profile picture. This was really good and alot of food for the price. I enjoyed it and would highly recommend. Everything was pretty much under $10. I'm not Korean (I'm Viet) so I don't know how it compares but I did see a lot of Koreans eating in there. I know they were Korean because they were speaking to the owner in Korean. The owner is super nice too. I also liked watching the Korean Drama playing on the big screen TV that had English subtitles!!!
(5)Lou G.
Soooooooooooooooooo full! Soooooooooooooooooo good! Ultimate Hole in the Wall! A Korean restaurant called Don Quixote, need I say more? This place has all the elements of "hole in the wall-ism": Worn out shopping center, bad decor, scary parking lot shared by an adult theatre and strip clubs, waitresses with little english, and the addition of a makeshift office/lounge for the owner at the back of the dining room. The truth is I hunt down these places with the same fervor as Don Quixote vanquishing windmills! This restaurant did not let me down.Good menu, inexpensive, generous portions. The food was excellent, KimChi Fried rice was awesome. Bibimbap was super fly. The Banchan, or traditional side dishes are pretty skimpy here, and that is the only negative of the experience. So if you are adventurous and willing to brave the creepy parking lot and overlook the tacky decor, you may find yourself joining me in my post dinner mantra "Soooooooooooooooooo full! Soooooooooooooooooo good!"
(4)Tom C.
Don Quixote is my favorite place to go for Korean comfort foods. The must have dish here is the Dtong Kat Su (Fried Pork) with it's special sauce....it's sooo good. Light and crispy. I also get the La Bok Ki (spicy rice cakes with ramen noodles), it's pretty good here. I can't complain all the dishes are under $10. You are greated by a friendly Korean lady that takes care of you.
(4)Seoung L.
Sounds like a mexican restaurant and near some mexican places... but Don Quixote is a good korean comfort food cafe with good prices. Korean comfort food in my opinion are foods that are street food or late night cafes I remember growing up in Korea. Also the fast and cheap foods that my mom or grandma use to make. Tteoukbokki, Sujaebi, mondu, ramen, kimbap, etc are foods that is considered for "peasant" or "poor" people food. Also these foods are what koreans considered like fast food. Of course these street type of food is my favorite Korean food! Don't come to Don Quixote expecting BBQ, and fancy meals. There are 100 other korean restaurants in the area for that. Come to this cafe or carry out for the what most of those restaurants don't serve. I live in Michigan and 90% of korean restaurants near me do not serve this type of food and I crave it all the time. The price is pretty good. Mostly under $10. The great meal I had was the Tteokbokki Special. It was the spicy rice cakes in red sauce with ramen noodles in the same sauce, along with kimbap (korean maki roll), mandu (korean dumplings. This was outstanding... it covered all my cravings in one dish. My favorite was the ramen noodles int he red spicy tteokbokki sauce. Just to warn you korean foodies, you wont get a big the traditional banchan (free side dishes such as kim chi)... you basically get kimchi and few others and that's about it. Remember that this place is catering to certain people. Do not come here expecting high class korean BBQ and write bad reviews because the food is basically street food.
(4)Michael L.
My visit here was after quite a long hiatus...my last time here was probably 2+ years ago. My initial impressions of the food here was just okay. This visit confirmed it. I ordered the Don Katsu- the fried pork cutlet covered in brown sauce with rice and Korean 'cole slaw'. The fried pork tasted good...crispy throughout the cutlet, and upon first glance, you think you're getting a HUGE portion of meat- Alas, it is but an illusion. Imagine a slice of deli meat- very thin...breaded in 5x its thickness of batter- that's what the pork cutlet really is- 20% pork, 80% fried stuff. Again, it tasted decent, but it honestly could be called, "Fried goodness with a sliver of pork". Score: 3 She got their 'seafood udon'. Bad move. Basically like the storebought stuff- which is good- when you pay ~$1 for it. Score: 1.5 All in all, it's a decent place for cheap eats and snack food- we've good friends who live nearby that LOVE this place- but it's just okay to us. Perhaps we should order other stuff here...but for now, it's just a 2.5 overall.
(3)Addy C.
Don Quixote is a hole-in-the-wall with "Korean fast food" type cuisine. I used to come here all the time but it's probably been a couple yrs since my last visit. Almost everything here is under $10. Most popular dishes are probably the chicken wings (recommend ordering with the kimbap - great combo), the bok-um bap (fried rice), the dduk-bok-ee (spicy rice cake), the oma rice (fried egg & ketchup over fried rice), the don kas (fried pork cutlet), and the jjuhl-myun (spicy noodle). Tonight I got the o-jing-uh duhp bap (spicy squid over rice) - the spicy (& slightly sweet, too) flavors were wonderful. It also came with a small bowl of broth which tasted like "instant soup" (yuck). Can't beat the $6.50 price though. My friend got the yuk-geh-jang (spicy beef soup), and said it was pretty good. Banchan was just 3 dishes - kimchi, spicy radish, & fish cakes. Good option if you want cheap Korean food.
(3)Joe L.
Came here with a group of friends while on a shopping trip to the Super Hmart in Decatur. Saw the prices and was immediately impressed by how they could hold to the quality of what I expected and deliver on the price (7 dollars for a spicy tofu and kimchi seafood soup w/rice!!??). My friends got the fried pork cutlet (which came extremely recommended on yelp) and the spicy rice cake and kimchi ramen (which was also extremely recommended). I got the spicy tofu kimchi soup with seafood and a side of rice. In all, there are maybe 2 or 3 regular entrees which are priced above 10 dollars. The rest of the 30+ items are way below 10 dollars. As for the food, the pork cutlet defintely deserves its recommendation. It was juicy, and well seasoned. It had just a bit too much breading for my taste. However, the gravy that was served on top of it added a great and very unique flavor to the fried cutlet. If your tired of crappy American country fried steaks, then definitely try this out. It was also served with rice and slaw. The spicy rice cake w/ kimchi and ramen also came recommended by yelp. Though it was still tasty, this one didnt have as much of a wow factor. It kinda just tasted like what I could have made at home if I had taken a bag of instant ramen, dumped some kimchi and rice cake in it and cooked it. Then poured out the soup until only a little bit was left and then added a little bit of oil to it. It was a very simple dish and even my friend noted that it probably wasnt worth getting again. My tofu kimchi seafood soup however was amazing. Full of seafood and tofu, it came with just more of everything. Ironically,I think i like this dish here more than I do at So Kong Dong. With the complementary rice, I definitely left with a full and satisfied stomach. The soup was flavored perfectly. not too spicy, not too salty, with just enough kick for me. Definitely a healthy alternative if your looking for something cheap and great tasting on buford highway. It was served with 4 side dishes (banchan). Kimchi, spicy pickled napas (kinda like kimchi'd diced white radishes), tofu strips marinated in soy, and cooked julienned potatoes. The waitress(owner?) was very attentive and would offer to refill them when we ate all of them, which we did multiple times. All in all, a great experience. Have to come here without a Korean to see if it deserves that 5th star.

Go with the DonKatSu when you come here. You can't go wrong with it! Small restaurant, homey-feel environment, decent service. It's okay. It's not the best Donkatsu I've had, but I like it.
(3)Jang C.
This is one of my favorite places to go for Korean. Unfortunately it's in the same shopping center as Hae Woon Dae--the awesome Korean BBQ place. So if you drive all the way over here, it's hard not to go to Hae Woon Dae. Fortunately if you are low in cash and want some light Korean, Donquixote is the best place to go. Good Korean food has become more rare in the Buford Highway area since restaurants closed down or moved. I missed Harue and Gang Seo. If I wanted some generic Korean food (not the tofu stew kind), all I'm left is crappy Han Il Kwon or crappy Korean fusion cafes. Luckily Donquixote still exists. You can get all the staple "cafeterian" Korean foods: Kim Bap, Ojingo dupbap, bibimbap, bulgogi, etc. And they are tasty and authentic. They don't try to get cute with the traditional recipe. It's a great place to go if you don't want to drive all the way up to Gwinett for good Korean food (unless you already live up there). I give it 4 stars.
(4)Paul N.
This is not a Mexican restaurant. Some people think that this place is a Mexican place because of the name, but it is a Korean "comfort" food place. So, I have been going to this particular restaurant since 2005. I usually just get the same thing over and over. I did try to venture out to other dishes, but none of them really grabbed me. My taste buds seem to like their pork cutlet the best out of all the dishes they have. I don't suggest anyone to get the seaweed roll rice with veggies and meat because I feel like it's overpriced. It doesn't taste that great either. I get the donkatsu (pork cutlet dish) because they give you a lot of food for the price. Additionally, it's their best selling food. You get two chunks of pork cutlet, rice, side dishes, a piece of egg, cabbage salad, and etc. It will definitely fill you up. Korea's donkatsu has changed quite a bit, and this type of donkatsu that Don Quixote serves is the "old" style. The meat is thinner than the modern day donkatsu in Korea. Overall, this place is not an expensive place. If you need a quick food to eat with your friends or have some food to go to watch some TV or play games, whatever you may be up to, this place is a good place to go get some food. It's not the best restaurant in Atlanta, but it's an adequate place to visit back and forth. It is a small venue, so do not bring a large group to this restaurant. It is a very casual place, and not a place to take your first date to. Maybe after you are calling each other gf and bf, then you can take him or her there haha.
(3)Christin K.
Um, I guess I feel a little bad since everyone loves it, but i'm sticking with 3 stars. Last time i was here was about a year ago, so my accuracy may be a little off. Anyway, even before that, a group of friends decided not to come here and go to hae woon dae instead solely based on the fact that there's no one here. There's never been anyone else here when we're in the area.. maybe I'm coming at non peak hours? I don't know. I had ojinguh dup bap, it was ok (squid on rice). The banchan didn't leave any impression on me. Perhaps they had some good ggak du gi. But what other people are saying is true, its so hard to come in here when hae woon dae is next door. I'll try the don kat su next time.. but honestly i've had better food at the food court in assi or one of those big grocery stores. It is in a convenient location that's a little closer to the city, and they keep moderately late hours from what I remember (please correct me if I'm wrong). I'll update upon more visits but this is off the few times I've been so far.

Solid K-kuisine! Just remember to bring a translator. Snack/cafe style without a lot of fun food options. Not a major place for decor, but it's still solid.

I should have fought harder to go to Hae Woon Dae next door! Then I thought, "Well, I am kind of craving dduk bok ee too." Bad mistake! Always choose galbi over dduk bok ee. What was I thinking?! Anyway, this place used to be a favorite in college. I don't know what happened. New ownership perhaps. The Don Quixote in Duluth is much better than this one and they have more variety in their menu. This place isn't the same Don Quixote I remember, the Don Quixote I remember moved to Duluth. Unfortunately, this place is just bad bunshik, a waste of consumed calories. Also, it's not cheap. Bunshik is supposed to be somewhat cheap and I paid $6.95 plus tax and tip for runny, MSG filled dduk bok ee and the same for bad beef fried rice. They really need to change the name of their restaurant so that people (such as myself) won't mistake it as the same restaurant as in the past or the one in Duluth.

The waitress didn't really speak english and that's when I knew I was in a real Korean restaurant. It was sort of hole in the wall, but aren't those the places with the best food anyway? Make sure you get the chicken wings. Sounds weird for a Korean restaurant, but they were good!

This resturant was very good for the price, but there are few things you should consider before coming here. You NEED someone who speaks Korean with you if you want decent service. Luckily one of the friends I went with spoke Korean so we were treated well, but if he wasn't with us I don't think the experience would have been half as enjoyable. The food was pretty good for being so cheap, but there were some problems. One of my friends tea tasted soapy, and when we asked for a new glass they just gave us water. I don't really hold this against the restaurant, she just got unlucky. Overall, this is a good place to go if you like Korean food.

When I was younger I used to go here all the time. Always order don katsu or "ohm" rice (huge omelet stuffed with rice and smothered in ketchup). Good kimchi. Sometimes the food makes my stomach hurt, if you know what I mean, but I always leave satisfied and smiling. Until my stomach starts to hurt... Anyway, there's another location on Satellite Blvd. with way better decor, but the food here is better. Maybe because it's the original?

Maybe it's because I'm still young, but my taste buds still opt for junk food. Sure, I can get my pack of Oreos and other goodies from local grocery markets, but what do I do when I miss Korean snacks? Well, I simply head over to Don Quixote. Don Quixote specialize in snack-type of Korean food. So don't expect to find the assortment of banchan (side dishes) and Korean BBQ grills. In fact, you go into this tiny restaurant, say hello, and sit down wherever there is an open table. The menu is inserted in the table marker and it's all in Korean. (I would suggest taking a Korean friend.. hint hint, wink wink?) But don't let the informality fool you. This doesn't mean they are not as good by any means. In fact, this is the restaurant that I've been to the most on Buford Highway. I heart their food. I've always ordered something different here and have yet to fail. My favorites are Rakbokki and Soojebi. Above all, everything is so cheap. This doesn't mean the portions are small either- they are very generous and huge. The service is incredible as well. They are always prompt and friendly. They never have trouble making my dish less spicy or substituting a certain ingredient. So next time you are cruising on Buford Highway, contemplating about which restaurant to try, do visit Don Quixote. Sure, you can always go to your safe-bets, but why not go a little crazy and adventurous?

I have been reading about this restaurant for years now and I was finally able to give it a try. I was not expecting to be blown away by any means, I was expecting; abundant, flavorful, and cheap snack/casual style Korean foods. All of my expectations were met, except the flavorful part. All of the items we received were very bland. But, I am happy that I gave this place a try to see what the big deal is. The atmosphere is very casual and was crowded even during off hours. It appears that most customers were ordering the Bento style boxes here for the best assortment and value. However, I was determined to try their version of dukbokki because there were so many variations offered. I settled with the largest and most assorted version of their Special Dukbokki, which contained tube rice cakes, thin fish cakes, cabbage, hard boiled egg, deep fried mandu, ramen noodles, and kimbap. The sauce was not spicy and a little too sweet for my liking. I prefer it with more gochujang and little or no ketchup. It was a great deal for the amount of food received, and I could only eat half of the portion served. My husband ordered the spicy chicken wings, hoping that they would be like the Bon Chon style Korean chicken wings that we are accusomted to buying in New York. The wings here were just your normal American style chicken wings, and were very small in size. He was still hungry after eating the wings, so he ordered a Beef Fried Rice Omelet, minus the ketchup. The portion was large, but there was very little beef inside and he only ended up eating about half of it.
