“This place is absolutely amazing. The food is good, the staff is kind. The space is wonderful. This is the best rice I've had since I moved to Georgia hands down. And it's actually phenomenally spicy.

If you are looking for a place to sit and have a nice time while enjoying incredible food, this is it!!!“

“Very delicious! Nice atmosphere and staff was very nice. We ordered the makrel and tofu soup combo(i recommend death level if you like spicy), scallion seafood pancake, and bibimbop. The Banchan was very flavorful as well, 10/10 recommend 🤘“

“Brandon was fantastic! The food was delicious. very enjoyable. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Love their wide selection of side dishes! Their tofu soup is packed with seafood, including a blue crab claw, which was a nice touch.

We also enjoyed the donkatsu with udon—it stays true to Japanese flavors, and they even give you a mortar to grind your own sesame seeds, which adds to the experience.“

“Dear Papa’s Dumpling Team,

I just wanted to take a moment to say how absolutely wonderful your restaurant is. Every time I visit, I’m blown away by the warmth of the atmosphere and the incredible flavors that come out of your kitchen.

Your dumplings, in particular, are truly exceptional—perfectly tender wrappers, delicious fillings, and that perfect balance of seasoning that makes every bite unforgettable. Whether steamed, fried, or in soup, they’re easily the best dumplings I’ve ever had!

Thank you for creating such a delightful dining experience.“

“Amazing food and exceptional service!!!! Highly recommend .“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“Me and my husband have been coming here for years and we love it! The meat quality is amazing, the staff are very friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is so warm and welcoming! Would 100000% recommend coming here!!“

“Everything was excellent. The tteokbokki was rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced—not overly sweet or spicy—and the portions were generous. All the dishes came out hot and fresh, and you can tell quality ingredients are used.

Service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was casual and comfortable, making it a great spot to enjoy Korean comfort food. Definitely a place I’d come back to and recommend to others.“

“Delicious Korean street food. We ordered Bulgogi lunch box, Tteokbbokki, Kimbap, Kimchee Fried Rice, and Bibimbap. Our family enjoyed each of these dishes.

Service was very friendly, and we received our food in about 15 minutes or so. Also, I appreciated all the affirmations and art on the wall throughout the restaurant.

Definitely recommend for Korean street food!“

“Wife and family enjoy both locations, we prefer Suwanee location more
Good authentic Korean flavors
The bbq can be hit or miss depending if you get someone who knows how to cook
Kimchi 찌개 is always family favorite but Suwanee location has better kimchi overall“

“Our family has mostly visited Jang Su Jang in Duluth, so this was our first time trying the Alpharetta location. When we used to go to the Duluth Jang Su Jang nearly ten years ago, it was mainly for comforting dishes like Soondoobu, something very affordable and casual.
The Alpharetta Jang Su Jang felt quite different. It’s located inside a hotel, and the atmosphere is much more upscale. Because of that, the prices are not cheap, and the overall vibe is more polished than what we were used to. It truly felt like a different version of Jang Su Jang.
The food was very good, and the service was also excellent. Everything was well prepared, and the staff was attentive. However, as Korean visitors coming from out of state, it felt a bit distant from the Korean community, which makes it less likely for us to return regularly.
That said, it’s definitely worth visiting at least once, especially if you’re looking for a more elegant Korean dining experience in Alpharetta.“

“I dined here recently and it was the best experience ever! The food and the staff were amazing. I highly recommend dining here!!!👍👍“

“Visited for the first time yesterday to have the kimbap and it was delicious! I'll be back for more.“

“Have you walked into the wrong restaurant but stayed anyways because of the ambiance of the place? That's what I did. I was supposed to meet my nephew at the Chili Spot but accidentally walked in through the wrong door. I rarely walk into the wrong restaurant but glad I did because this place is so hip and modern.

Speaking of atmosphere, the spacious ness of the place, the modern decor and vibe makes dining in a relaxing experience.

The food was delicious. Here's what we had:

SOON DUBU + PORK BBQ 순두부 + 목살구이
Choice of your soft tofu stew with stir-fry pork in soy-based sauce

SOON DUBU + LA KALBI 순두부 + LA갈비
Choice of your soft tofu stew with marinated short ribs.

We loved the combo along with the banchan (반찬).

The service was stellar. Our waitress, Jane was attentive,professional and patient. She answered all of our questions and made great suggestions.

Go check them out if you are looking for delicious food and excellent service.“

“Food and service was great“

“We were looking for an easy dinner spot and, based on Google results, decided to give this place a try with little expectation. We’re glad we did. It’s a small restaurant with dark decor and simple tables, but the service was friendly and attentive. We ordered wings, skewers, a seafood pancake, and a seafood clear broth stew, and really enjoyed the meal. The seafood pancake was the best, crispy without being hard and full of flavor.“

“Tasty good food. Generous portions at a good price. Did I say tasty? Really tasty. Friendly service. Definitely coming back!“

“They have little alcoves so sitting with your family feels very private. Went with my family of 5 and it was perfect. Highly recommend the hot stone bibimbap and tofu soup with kimchi. My 10 month old, 4 yr old, and 10 yr old all enjoyed. Definitely will be back if we are in the area again.“

“Dinners with dad, episode 874, later edition…from dinner the other night while visiting my parents…had already had an amazing breakfast…then an equally amazing lunch…but this pork belly and trotters weren’t going to eat themselves! This place gets more and more crowded each time we come…dad loves to talk about how much his youngest granddaughter loves this place…then says, ‘She might be the most Korean of the 3 grandkids…’ The pic of him laughing is after the server asked what type of soju he wanted…he said none but he could use one! I told him to order a bottle but he said no 🤪 If you like pork and spicy acorn noodles, this is your go to in Atlanta!“

“The chicken was absolutely delicious and I'd wager that they butcher the chicken on site before frying it. Took a bit for the chicken to come out, but it was absolutely worth it. I wish there was an option been 8 and 16 pieces of chicken.“

“Love gopchang on fire in Doraville!!! The manager always took care of our grill and he did so professional. The flavor is amazing, I can’t complain. It is wayyy better than the other place in Duluth (I didn’t like the way they grill) Best gopchang in Atlanta“

“Sorimmara in Duluth is a total hidden gem! ✨ The food is an absolute flavor explosion—every bite is authentic, fresh, and seriously addictive. 🍜 The staff are such gems, too; they’re incredibly welcoming, attentive, and make the whole experience seamless.
The environment is chic, spotless, and has the perfect vibe for a fun meal out. 💖 You seriously need to come experience this for yourself! If you haven't been yet, this is your sign to go. 5 stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“This Korean restaurant was an all around great place to eat. The free appetizers were all delicious and vegetarian, the soup and dumplings we ordered were good, and the people were very sweet. Ben, our server, made the dinner and even greater experience with his infectious personality!“

“Our first time here & definitely coming back. From the friendly staff to the clean place & amazing food. We were full & happy when we left. Even the robot was on point with the service...lol“

“The food and service are ALWAYS phenomenal. It is a place that always feels like home no matter how long it has been since I've been to visit. Cha is always a gracious and kind host and makes everyone at the table feel like family. Leaving full of great food and memories is the norm for any visit here.“

“Best fried chicken and sides in town, I go here way too often! This is my favorite location as well, everything is always clean and the staff is so friendly and accommodating. The food is always delicious and fresh. Try the rose tteokboki and soy garlic boneless! The corn salad is delicious as well. Such good comfort food 💕 and they're always playing K-pop music! 🙌🏻“

“Some of the best tteokbokki in town! The food is amazing and reasonably priced, especially considering the generous portions.
I highly recommend the bulgogi omurice, bulgogi kimbap, and the Toowoomba tteokbokki. Easily a 10/10, I would recommend this place to anyone. The service is excellent as well; the staff are always patient and accommodating whenever I ask for modifications.“

“🔥🍗 Kimchi Red – Alpharetta 🍗🔥
Locally owned, full-of-heart Korean comfort food with fried chicken that was literally voted the BEST in the United States — and trust me, every bite earns that title.

The chicken isn’t just crispy — it CRACKLES — and then melts into juicy perfection. The flavors hit you like a delicious freight train of sweet, savory, and addictive goodness.

And the spice level?
💥🌶️ OFF. THE. CHAIN. 🌶️💥
The kind of heat that makes you do the happy wiggle and whisper, “Ohhhh yes,” while plotting your next order.

Warm, welcoming staff, food made with passion, and fried chicken that has officially ruined me for anywhere else.

Kimchi Red — you are my spicy, crunchy, delicious chicken soulmate.“

“The pork galbi ribs were very good! Everytime I come to Korea Garden, the banchan (side dishes) are always fresh and are perfectly seasoned!! All the banchan pair very well with rice and meat! The pork galbi ribs are mouthwatering and the aroma of the meat made me order more lol. One of my favorite Korean restaurants to dine at!! Will be coming back again!“

“First time there. Had a great experience!“

“Hands down the best pork stone bowl bibimbap I’ve had in the U.S. So flavorful and perfectly seasoned.👏👏
They offer a great variety of side dishes like kimchi, fish cake, pickled cucumbers, and bean sprouts, and the fried fish was an awesome surprise.
The owner and staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. Super recommend👍👍👍👍👍“

“Food and service was absolutely amazing. Everything tasted very fresh and the portions are great for the price. I highly recommend their spicy tteokbokki with added ramen and cheese. Their bulgogi ramen, fried dumplings, as well as their sushi all tasted amazing and fresh. Definitely will be returning to try more dishes“

“The charcoal grill made the meats taste so good! Went with a group and we did the all you can eat (variety was a little limited compared to the regular menu), service was wonderful & they helped to make recommendations and cook the food. Sides were tasty and always promptly refilled.“

“I can hardly remember if I’ve visited this restaurant before, which means it’s either been a very long time or this was my first visit, recommended by a group of friends from an association. Regardless, this humble neighborhood restaurant left a strong impression. Once popular in the heart of Doraville's old Koreatown, this spot carries a sense of nostalgia and is truly a hidden gem with a rich history. While it may not boast extravagant decor, the quality of the food speaks volumes. I particularly enjoyed the generous variety of side dishes (반찬), which were thoughtfully prepared and delicious. The highlight of my meal was the fresh grilled sole fish (서대구이), perfectly cooked and accompanied by a hearty bowl of bean paste stew (된장찌개), both proudly recommended by the friendly and welcoming owner. Her genuine hospitality and attentive service added warmth to the dining experience, and it was heartwarming to see some of my friends recognize her from previous visits.

If you’re looking to experience authentic, homemade Korean cuisine in a modest yet charming setting that evokes memories of Korea's past, I highly recommend this restaurant. It’s a rare gem that preserves the flavors and traditions of old Korea, and I’ll definitely be returning to savor more of its offerings.“

“Traditional Korean Food and Korean Barbecue. how many local Koreans and other Asians eating this restaurant. it is Korean owned and operated and when visiting you will feel like you are in South Korea.“

“This is one of the best Korean catering companies that we have used at the office! We've had a lot of hit or misses catering companies in the past. The Korean Thanksgiving food was delicious! We have a multicultural office environment and some of the employees are picky. The picky employees hands down loved it! The owner spoke both Korean and English so it made my order so easy. Mrs. Kim was very sweet and threw in some extra goodies in the order. We will definitely order from The Banchan again for future catered orders. Everyone was hungry so we didn't take any pictures of the bulgogi, jjun, songpyeon rice cakes, chicken ggan jeon (these went fast and there were no leftovers of this chicken), japchae, odeng noodle salad, young radish kimchi, and melons. You can taste the TLC in each dish! Thank you!!!!“

“Best Korean BBQ in Atlanta“

“This is first time at Dan Moo Ji. My first impression is that it seems like a fast food place. But I was mistaken. You place your order at the counter, but they deliver the hot plate order. In our case, there were about 15 of us. The gentleman, came around and took our order. He brought pitcher of waters and glasses as well as soup brought. Our orders arrived fairly fast and still hot. My chicken omelette over rice is awesome, well prepared taste fantastic! My order came with mash potatoes, kimchi and salad. Others in my party also ordered Udon soup and such.
The place is clean, well organized with plenty of tables. The bathrooms are cleaned which gave me the impression that it is still a new place. Again I misjudged this place.

If you haven't tried Dan Moo Ji, I highly recommend this place. Specifically since the price is fairly comparable with other restaurants in the area“

“Food is alright. Service was pretty horrible. I’ve asked couple of bowls, and most of them were not clean. I wish they could’ve double checked before they handed to customers. Server didn’t even apologize, and I personally felt they weren’t rly doing their jobs well. Honestly, it just felt like they didn’t really care about their service since they automatically get an 18% tip anyway. I did feel like even that 18% wasn’t really worth it, but since I know how hard it is for small businesses these days, I still left it.

I think my previous comment might have caused some confusion, so I’d like to clarify.
When I said the 18% tip was automatically added, I meant that these days many customers usually give around 18% by default, so some servers may feel there’s no real need to try harder or pay much attention. Since you personally took the time to read my review and genuinely care about your customers, I wanted to adjust my rating to reflect that. I understand how tough it is to run a business, but I hope you could pay a bit more attention to training your staff. Thank you“

“Great food and wonderful experience!! We went there for a special ocassion and ordered LA kalbi, premium kalbi, pork belly for 5 people. Their banchans were all so delicious and unique, and they brought in the steamed egg dish, denjang jji geh, corn with cheese plate, ssamchang, and various fresh vegetable lettuce wraps. Their service was top notch! I could not believe how helpful they were as we were cooking the meats and were quick to refill any water or banchans. The servers were very helpful and were smiling the while time...they even thanked us and bowed to us as we were leaving...what a wonderful experience we had as a family! I will certainly come again!“

“The ahjumma Becky is awesome and friendly! The Korean Steak pizza is DELICIOUS! All I'll say is to season & cook the original chicken a little bit better. The batter was really light and lacking crunch. But other than that, I'd definitely come back. 👍🏾“

“If you want to learn/try Pusan people's genuine soul food, this is it. This place may not be the best ever 돼지국밥 place in my life, but this place absolutely gives me the same happiness that I had in the restaurants in Pusan S. Korea, my home town.“

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

“It was a bit tricky to find since it was tucked away in a corner of the building, but once we walked around the building, it was easy to spot. The food was authentic Korean cuisine, the kind that tasted like something your mom would make. 콩비지 was incredibly delicious and reminded me of my mom's cooking. There was a wide variety of dishes, and the fish and scallion pancakes were tasty. We ordered way too much food, making it a truly happy time.“

“Late Post! Dinners with Dad (and Mom) Lunch Edition, ep 854…cheating on this one because I had lunch with them last Saturday while visiting…then flew through Atlanta on my way home from meetings in Tampa and we ate here again! Over the last 25yrs, soon dubu jigae restaurants have come and gone in Atlanta but this one, a chain from Korea, is like eating a meal in Korea, splatter apron and all! The ttukbaegis make the jigae scalding hot for your entire meal…both times I left with no feeling on my tongue…if you are in the mood for some soon dubu jigae, this is your best bet in the metro Atlanta area! Give them a shot if you’re in the area, in the Assi Market center off Old Peachtree…“

“K-Mom’s Kitchen feels less like eating out and more like being welcomed into someone’s home. The flavors instantly reminded me of my mom’s cooking and even more so, my grandmother’s. The main dishes are comforting and well done, but what truly makes this place special are the side dishes. That generous spread of banchan, paired with a small bowl of warm seaweed soup, is what gives the meal its soul.

It’s a true hole-in-the-wall spot, cozy, humble, and full of heart with limited seating inside, but that just adds to the authenticity. This is the kind of food that carries history and care in every bite. If you’re looking for Korean food that tastes like it was made for family, this is the place. 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!!!!!“
