Bally Budaejjigae

We ordered seafood soup.
They used all frozen seafood,clams, octopus, crab.
It tasted so bad. The food is so tough that I can't eat it. It's so disappointing how you can serve such food for a high price from a customer. I never go back there again. I am not recommend this restaurant.

Each restaurant has a specialty that makes them unique. Here, I visit specifically for their 부대찌개 , Army Stew. Which is their namesake.

Budae Jjigae is a comfort food for many, like me, that want a quick, filling, and easy meal. This soup has a long and complicated past. Originally, the soup was developed during the Korean War using smuggled/rationed hot dogs, Spam, bacon, and canned beans. I ask to add ramyun noodles to this kimchi soup base to absorb some of the broth and all of the delicious sweet, salty, and tangy flavors.

This is family style service, so you cook on an induction burner at your table and eat from a bubbling pot of hot and delicious soup.

There are many upsell toppings to choose from.
Super friendly service.
Authentic Korean style atmosphere, and wonderful private booth seating.

Best place for traditional Budaejjigae (a.k.a. Army Stew) in the area. There are many options on the menu. Food is great and the staff are always kind and efficient. We will be back again and again. :-)

Korean seafood soup (Hae-mul-jeon-goal) was surprisingly good. It has baby octopus, shrimp, clam, crab, and lots of veggies. Broth is amazing, and baby octopus was soft. You should add udon noodles for $3 because it is a game changer.
Most importantly, order the fried rice, and they will use that good broth to make the amazing fried rice. I asked them to add more sesame oil and seaweed flakes, and it makes the fried rice even more savory and amazing.

I had an amazing experience at Bally Budaejjigae! The food was absolutely delicious and truly authentic. The budaejjigae was packed with flavor and had the perfect balance of spice and ingredients. Every bite was a delight, and you could tell they use high-quality ingredients in their dishes.The staff was also very friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, adding to the overall great experience. If you're a fan of Korean cuisine or just looking for something new and delicious to try, I highly recommend Bally Budaejjigae. It’s definitely worth the visit!

The budae-jjigae at restaurants has a rich taste, but the budae-jjigae here has a clean soup with a lot of ham, so I enjoy it every time I go. The rice is also delicious when served in a pot and cooked with scorched rice. I was a little disappointed that there seemed to be fewer vegetables in the stew than before. The atmosphere of the restaurant is a bit shabby, so it would be a good idea to go casually if you just want to eat out rather than on a special occasion.

The BEST buddae-jjigae (Korean army stew) place in GA and perhaps in the US! It really tastes like the ones I had in Seoul, especially in Ui-jeong-bu, where it's famous for army stew.
The price is cheap, and the portion is A LOT. It comes with a steamed rice in a pot, which you can make into a porridge for dessert.
ALWAYS order and add ramyun-noodle, and be sure to ask the waitress to make you a fried rice after you finish the soup (but you always have to leave one cup of a soup for them to make the fried rice with that soup for 1-2 person serving of fried rice). With the order of noodle and fried rice, army stew only costs about $35 for two-three people. It costs over $30 for two bland bowls of pho these days, so this place is very affordable and will make you feel FULL.
You must check this place out. It's truly a hidden gem :)
