48 Best Korean Restaurants in Duluth

“Super friendly staff! Constantly, coming around to help and check up on us. “The All You Can Eat” price was definitely worth it! We made sure we got our bellies full!“

“Their Galbi and tofu soup are the best! They have pretty good portion of the meat (not too thin) and very favorable. They also served individual ban-chan (side dishes) which you can ask for another round. They have a good service and pretty fast in serving the food. The restaurant itself has an authentic vibe that you can’t complain!“

“Great food, huge portion. Definitely worth a visit! My friend and I shared a Small pig trotters (spicy + mild platter) and finished most of it. You also get a rice ball for free if you pay by cash. Pig trotters come great with rice and kimchi.

Service could be more friendly to non korean speaking customers.“

“It's a neat soup restaurant where you pay at a kiosk and don't have to tip. You pay first and the wait time for your food to come out is not very long. Food allergy information is unclear as there is no separate explanation. I'm eating well.“

“I was in search of good Kimchi and my husband tagged along on my quest. We went to 4 different places that had been recommended and found what is now my favorite cabbage kimchi here at JS Kitchen. The staff was friendly and helpful. They gave me taste tests so I could choose what I liked best. Since it was a little past lunchtime we also ordered 1 bulgogi box to share. There was quite a variety of food and plenty for both of us. I think it's primarily intended for take-out, but they have three bar stools and a counter so we ate there. It was pleasant enough for us especially since we were all about the adventure today!“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“Josh at the counter was very sweet and helpful. I stopped by the Duluth location after feeling dizzy from Chronic migraine that makes me nauseous and He was so patient and recommended a light meal for me. Not only that after hearing that I’m nauseous he offered me warm soup, which helped greatly as I was able to eat something for the day. On top of that, the food is 100/10 everything is so delicious here. Can’t wait to be back.“

“They're in the same plaza with Teso Life and Sweet Hut. It's not easy to find parking in front of the restaurant but the plaza parking lot is spacious so no need to worry about parking.

We came on the weekend and didn't have to wait to have seats. The place has nice decor with artificial green but being done right so it looks nice and bright. Service is good and fast. The food ingredients and quality are good. However, as for tofu soup, it's not the soft tofu cube that most Korean places serve. The tofu texture is more broken so it threw me off a bit. The texture is like soft fish roe or soft ground meat. They also don't have spicy levels; so if you can't eat spicy food, like me, the tofu soup options get very limited. The bbq rib We had:

- Oyster seaweed tofu soup + BBQ pork combo: both the seaweed and tofu are pretty broken and scattered. The texture doesn't do well with me. The taste is alright.
- Pork BBQ main dish: my boyfriend likes them because they don't have bones like ribs.
- Grilled croaker whole fish: this one is my favorite, slightly salty but the fish was grilled properly, crunchy on the skin and soft tender meat on the inside. You have to be careful eating since the fish is served as a whole with bone in it.

Every table has its own utensil and napkin drawer, which is very convenient and saves both guests and servers the time to ask for more utensils or napkins. Each table has their own hot tea pot and cups too.

Overall, I like the quality of their ingredients and the ambience and cleaness of the restaurant. I'm not a fan of the tofu texture in their tofu soup, and the limited options on non spicy soup. I might come back mostly for the grilled croaker.“

“If you’re craving soondae, this is the place to go! The prices are a bit on the higher side, but the flavors are worth it. The restaurant offers a wide variety of delicious Korean pork dishes, including samgyeopsal, and everything is cooked to perfection.

One tip: if you visit on a cold day, avoid sitting near the windows as it can get a bit chilly. The seating near the kitchen is much cozier. Highly recommend for authentic Korean cuisine lovers!“

“First time. Ordered the Rose Tteokbokki really spicy not much rice cake but the sauce is yummy. Really good sauce its sweet
with a reeeaal kick. The addons they added in were good wish there was more. Would be really good with some Ramen noodles next time. Will give this place a try again.“

“Every time I am anywhere near bb.q I make the time to go there, it is one of my favorite indulgences. Everything is so good, just amazing really and the staff is always so kind. Some of the little things about the experience make it even better too, like the handwashing station as you come in and leave and the little garbage can on the table to dispose of bones and napkins. One of my favorite places ever for sure.“

“I'm so happy I found this place! I've been here like 4 times already & I always leave so full & satisfied. The BEST seafood boil place I've been to, & I've been to plenty. Their wings and fried rice combo is also a big hit among us. If you want some alcoholic drinks, I recommend the lychee soju ! You can share it with friends & it tastes soo good. I can't wait to try more items from the menu. It's also a plus that they're opened late, since everything seems to closed at 9 or 10. It's a small nice restaurant by a gas station but don’t get discouraged cause their large menu and food will have you coming back.“

“Just went there for first time. Nice indoor dinner, friendly staff and excellent food. I ordered a bowl and it was excellent worth the price. Not sure about the fried chicken. I found it somewhat pricey. $15 plus $4 to make it a combo. Not sure how many pieces comes. Couldn’t find qty.“

“I recently had dinner here and was completely blown away by the improvement in food since the new owners took over the restaurant. We ordered the clam noodle soup which had a very clean and homey soup with chewy noodles. It came with kimchee that is probably the best kimchee I’ve had in a restaurant. The woman who works there told me that they make it in house, unlike other restaurants that outsource premade ones. The fried variety plate was well done and freshly fried. Finally we got the burdock root kimbap (rolls) which was the best vegetarian rolls we’ve ever tried as it comes stuffed with huge pieces of fluffy eggs. Definitely eating here regularly.“

“Best Korean BBQ in Atlanta“

“I saw this place on instagram and I saved it to my list of restaurants to eat while in Duluth. I came here before the Ateez concert and was not disappointed!! Everything was so good! I got the pepperoni pizza, chicken and some beer. It was definitely 10/10. Chicken was crispy and the pizza tasted like it came out of a brick over with a great cheese pull! I’m definitely pulling back up again. Staff was also nice and helpful!!“

“My mom and I stopped by for dinner and had an awesome meal. From the warm tea before the meal, 10 different side dishes, seaweed soup with our main dish, to sikhye (Korean rice drink) at the end of our meal, it was a worthwhile experience for the price! The side dishes and the seaweed soup were really delicious, whereas the spicy pork was decent. My mom got the fish and she really enjoyed that. The service was very friendly, and we ended up purchasing two of the side dishes at the end of our meal to take home. 10/10 would definitely recommend for a homey Korean style meal :-)“

“Got the seafood soup with ramen versus spicy and mackerel. The mackerel was great and a huge piece as well. The soup wasn’t as spicy as I thought it would be getting the highest spice level. The ramen also took away from the soup. The sides were blah. Other than that it was decent. Service was great“

“GREAT Korean food here. My go-tos here are dduk bboki ki, fish cake skewers, and kimbops. I love coming here with family or friends to split the food amongst the table. Service here is friendly as well. I look forward to coming back and trying more food!“

“As a self-service Korean restaurant, the value is already excellent simply because there's no need to tip. Interestingly, while it's an Asian restaurant, the rice-based dishes are quite ordinary and not particularly special. On the other hand, the Western-style pasta is actually the highlight. The seafood pasta, with its rich and cheesy aroma, is so memorable that you can almost still smell it just by looking at the photo. This is a restaurant that can appeal to nearly all types of diners.“

“I went with an acquaintance for the first time and ordered a meal, but it tasted better than I expected. I ordered cheonggukjang soft tofu and tripe soft tofu ribs, and the owner kindly asked me how it tasted, and the people who ate with me were satisfied that it was delicious, and I also enjoyed it. ^^“

“Our favorite kbbq in Atlanta“

“This is a self-service seolleongtang restaurant.
I like it better because there is no service tip.
The taste is good and the atmosphere is nice.

Parking: There is ample and spacious parking in front of the restaurant.“

“This place is my absolute favorite pocha in the area! The food is consistently delicious, and the welcoming atmosphere and staff makes every visit enjoyable. I’ve been coming here frequently for over a year, and I’ve never had a bad experience. 10 stars“

“I liked the atmosphere of the place. Every table has a place to have bbq if you want. We ordered from the lunch menu. I had the sirloin and tonkasu. It was awesome. My wife spicy pork with vegetables and seafood tofu soup. It was okay. The pork was a bit fatty, and the soup was over salty. The service was really good, and we will definitely be back to try the bbq.“

“Alllll hands down !! When I'm in town visiting always eat here. My sweet lady and chef always remembers me. 100stars !!!“

“Absolutely incredible cuisine...A wonderful atmosphere...Family owned and operated...A must goto place when traveling...“

“Absolutely the Best Korean Food I've Ever Had!

The rave reviews are absolutely spot-on—this place is a gem! It's the perfect spot for a cozy, comforting lunch. The food tastes incredibly fresh and homemade.

If you're someone like me who feels overwhelmed by a big menu, don't worry—they’re super helpful and happy to recommend dishes based on your taste. Every bite was delicious, and the entire experience was warm and welcoming.

Highly recommend! I’ll definitely be coming back soon.“

“We used this catering service for my son’s 100th day birthday, and it was fantastic! The food was delicious—everyone loved it. We had bulgogi, fried chicken, chicken katsu, and cod jun, and everything was perfectly prepared. The fried chicken was a huge hit with our guests—it was garlicky with just the right amount of spice! Clara was wonderful to work with, always quick to respond and very sweet. She made the whole process easy, and the food really made the event special. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing Korean Food in a simple location but packs a huge punch. I came here solely based on the recommendation of this soup I have been craving. Gamjatang is a spicy pork bone soup. This item at Daebal House was a massive tower of amazing flavor! The menu has a fairly small but simple listing of typical Korean dishes from soup to meats ——while I was there 99% of the patrons are eating this dish. This place is open after 5pm and is similar to a late night bar with fine dining food… Highly recommend if you are in the area and want authentic quality tasting korean food and experience with friends. Oh and the kimchi is the BoMB!!!!!!! So yummmmmmmmmmy! First pic is when it came out!! Second pic is after we all ate to our hearts desire and there were still leftovers!!!!!“

“I’ve never had a Korean meal before as it’s been only the BBQ joints for me but this place was awesome! Everything was good, didn’t taste salty and service was wonderful!“

“We ordered set A. They were quite tasty if you can handle intestines. Our waiter was friendly and patient. The only thing that might be lacking in my opinion is that the sides could be more “clean taste” to balance the richness of these grilled food. Maybe some green onion salad or even kimchi would help.“

“This is my favorite restaurant in Atlanta. Since I tasted food last summer I’ve been dying to come back.
It’s a self-service restaurant where you order the food and pay at the front. Then you can pick up food when it beeps. It took less than 10 min for us to get our delicious food!

Staff are incredible polite and efficient.
My favorite is the steamed dumplings, cold buckwheat noodles with bbq pork.
My friend had a traditional Korean soup and that had unique flavor.
Price is incredible value for this qualify of food. They have hot yuksu (beef broth soup) that has unlimited refill.
When I go back to NY, I will really miss this place!“

“Had such a good time here! The service is super nice and friendly, and I love that you can just relax and enjoy the food without having to cook it yourself. The kimchi is awesome and all the little side dishes are so tasty. The marinated meat is full of flavor — love it here!“

“We got the large half and half and the spicy noodle. The spicy pork was really spicy and the noodle was less spicier than the pork. I wish I would rather order normal pork instead of half and half. But it was delicious! And the server checked in us frequently and took care of us well.“

“This small cozy restaurant offers some intestines as the main dish to order. It may be adventurous to some who are not used to it, but if coming with friends it will be a fun time! While it is a Korean restaurant, don’t let that deter you if you only speak English and are unsure about the menu. The servers here are nice and are able to assist with both the cooking and explanation of the menu. Ordered a combo plus some additional large intestines as it seemed to taste the best in my opinion. While the restaurant can be busy towards the evening, the servers do try to help everyone. They may forget to fill waters/hot teas and take some empty dishes away but overall a great experience. Side note it feels a bit cheaper to drink beer/soju here compared to other restaurants so I felt encouraged to drink here with this meal and will highly recommend to drink alcohol when eating this kind of meal.“

“I dropped in for a quick bite one Tuesday evening and was blown away with how fresh and the portion I received. I ordered the Bibimbap and it was served with small 5 bonchon sides! I fell in love with the seaweed side. In the end, I definitely needed a Togo box. The service was attentive and friendly. They served up a happy customer here l!“

“I recently dined at this Korean chicken and pizza restaurant and it was a good experience.The Korean fried chicken was crispy and flavorful. The pizza seemed just okay, nothing special.The service was excellent and the people were very welcoming.I recommend trying this place out.Carpe Diem with your taste buds good people.“

“I have a good time there. Good food and good shopping“

“The best service in Gwinnett I go to Plesant Hill location and I have the great experience ever all the time“

“It was my 1st time here today and the food and service was amazing! I'm definitely coming back when I get a chance.“

“This is one of our favorite places to eat, drink and hang out with friends . From their enclosed dining rooms for more privacy, excellent customer service, free parking, the semi dim lighting , karaoke rooms, their convenient business hours, reasonable prices, to their ever so delicious entrees ~ I cant say enough about how much I appreciate this place. Very happy they have more than soju on their drink menu as well. Overall a very satisfied customer for which I give 5 stars �����“

“It's not cheap for a food court, but the portions are so large that one adult man can't eat the whole bowl!
The sweet and sour pork is full of meat and doesn't feel heavy, so I keep eating it. The Jjajangmyeon noodles were the most satisfying I've had since coming to the US, but the disappointing thing is that the seasoning was a little too salty for my taste.
Still, it was a very satisfying meal. I recommend it👍

Parking: Free parking in front of H Mart Jans Creek“

“First, let me say that this restaurant was a little bit hard to find for non Korean speaking folks (probably because we don't read Korean😂), so we ended up driving past it at first. However, I promise that the search is worth it.

Through wooden doors, you are immediately greeted by some lovely folks who will guide you to a seat; either in an enclosed booth or out in the open.

Greeted and sat, you will be introduced to their huge menu, packed with a variety of authentic Korean dishes. We chose the kimchi stew, salad with chives and boiled pork slices, and stir fried pork in spicy sauce. We also got sides of rice, and pickled vegetables.

If you are in the mood for a place to decompress from the noise outside and recharge, come to Jang Dok Dae to get some great food. And tip well, the folks here deserve it.“

“Yall don't be sleeping on this place. They make some good good food. They catered for my wedding in June and I am very happy with this decision. The quality of the food was excellent, flavors were on point, and there was an abundant amount of food. Evenmy mom was happy with the food. If you have a Korean mother, you know this is speaking volumes about the place. The owner is a woman of very few words, but listens your requests, and makes sure you are satisfied. Not only do they cater big parties, but they also sell everyday korean side dishes, rice cakes, and soups. I would recommend hands down. Stop by and give them a try, won't regret.“

“Was surprised that there was a 20 min wait on a late Tuesday night, but the food we got was worth it! Fast, friendly service, great skewers and the kimchi pancakes were awesome. Didn't try any of the karaoke stuff so can't speak to that.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Experience at Glam 104 Bar & Restaurant!

I had an incredible time at Glam 104 in Duluth! The atmosphere is chic and vibrant, perfect for a night out with friends or a romantic dinner. The food was absolutely delicious—every dish we tried was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. The cocktails were creative and expertly crafted.

The service was outstanding—our server was attentive, friendly, and made great recommendations. The live music added such a fun energy to the evening.

If you're in Duluth, Glam 104 is a must-visit! Can't wait to come back! **10/10 recommend!** 🍸🎶“
