The ramen soaked up all the flavor, and the chicken stayed crispy while being coated in the sauce. It had the perfect balance of creaminess and spice without being overwhelming.

I had the day off today, and my friend and I went to work out at LA Fitness since we both haven't…read morebeen in a while. Lol nothing like crushing some KFC after a workout! We have eaten at the Suwanee/Johns Creek location so many times. I've taken my family when they're visiting from out of town. This location is inside the forum, and it's in a cool little "food hall" where there are many offerings of different cultures, cuisines, and options. However, we wanted to avoid the mess on Medlock Bridge Rd so we chose to go from Duluth down to the Forum/Politan Row. Parking is always hit or miss in the lot there, but it's free. There is a bar in the middle of the hall if you're so inclined to indulge. Really cozy and I imagine it's busy when there's a giant lunch rush or dinner rush. We went around 3. Josh was at the counter, talking us through the food. We have eaten so many times here but it never hurts to hear someone talk about the offerings. You can't get Mala flavor here, or buldak (I think) versus the other locations. My buddy is an honorary Korean. He loves Korean food, all kinds- and he wanted to try the K fries, along with the kimchi fried rice. We always order just wings so that the fry time is shorter than a full chicken. So we ordered the chef special- spicy. Food came out about 12-15 minutes later, and it was picture perfect! We never had the fries before and let me tell you they are so crispy even with the toppings. As you continue to eat these toppings still work their way down to the lower level. But for those who don't like Kimchi, get a side of plain fries- they're that good! The kimchi fried rice is always spectacular. Beautiful fried egg on top, with a runny yolk that will mix in with the temperature and spicy hot fried rice. It's never a bad idea to get this with your wings. Also, you have the option to get the chicken not tossed and sauced- can dip into sauce if you want to maintain crunch and texture. But, fully sauced still delivers with flavor and somehow even after 20 minutes of eating the wings were still hot in the middle. We know that the spice level runs hotter than you think, and Josh warned us about that too- but we went with the spicy wings. It's so hot out, we were tired from working out, and now we were sniffling and drinking lots of water! Next time, we will go medium. I haven't learned my lesson bc once I ordered medium for my nieces and nephews and they were mowing the food down but the spice was painful for them (12, 10, and 6 at the time). Josh was telling us that sometimes you can order chicken fried rice instead of the Kimchi fried rice for a change in spice level- made sense. He's a good dude. Easy to talk with and knows his stuff. I'll be back here, we decided next time to mix up some of the different foods from the many stands and just go for a big potluck with friends next time. But we will center it around Kimchi Red! We had a TON of leftovers, and Josh gave us boxes lined with parchment paper (beautiful touch) so we could split everything and have an entire meal once again in the coming days. A giant "THANK YOU" to Josh and the kitchen team here at Kimchi Red Politan Row in the Forum. It's great to see Korean culture and good grow in popularity and places and people like this team here help that positive momentum! Support small businesses! See my photos with the review!

It's kiosk order, so you don't need to stand in line and wait for other people. They have a bone broth dispenser, and that broth is *chefs kiss*. I probably drink three cups of it. And when you pick up your food, there's a grab and go area for kimchi, salt/pepper, sauces, utensils, so you can prepare your table how you want. I absolutely love this concept and I want to come back for every single soup. I got the regular galbitang and it did not disappoint. A note is that there are absolutely no vegetarian options, even the mandu has meat in it.

We had naengmyeon (cold noodles) and mandu (dumplings) for lunch at Naju Myunok yesterday. It was…read moregood. This is a popular, casual, quasi-cafeteria-style Korean restaurant in Duluth. This restaurant soft-opened in March 2024 and officially opened in April 2024 in the old Breakers Korean barbecue space near the defunct Gwinnett Place Mall, and I-85 at Pleasant Hill Rd (exit 104). It's spacious, but can fill up quick. We arrived at noon on a Saturday and there were still plenty of open tables. However, by the time we left, shortly after 1pm, it was packed with people looking for tables. Someone jumped on our table as we were getting up to leave. This is not a sit-down restaurant. Instead, you order at one of two touchscreen kiosks at the entrance and then wait for your number to be called to pick up your food. Everything is self-serve, from condiments to hot broth. You also bus your own table. Here's what three of us got: B3. Heo [sic] Naengmyeon ($16.99) - spicy sweet potato starch noodles with raw fish (should be spelled "hoe") C3-B1. Naengmyeon and Yuk Jeon ($20.99) - cold sweet potato starch noodles and thinly sliced beef pancake C1-B1. Naengmyeon and Dwaeji Yang Nyum Gui ($18.99) - cold sweet potato starch noodles and grilled pork neck D4. Kimchi Son Mandu ($11.99) - handmade kimchi dumplings My wife and I love naengmyeon. We thought Naju's version was good, especially in this fast-casual format. To nitpick, the noodles stuck together and the ice melted too fast. Regardless, I found the noodles to be delicious, refreshing, and satisfying. The spicy version came with a small bowl of icy broth on the side. The raw fish, beef pancake, and grilled pork neck were all tasty and of decent quality. As for the handmade kimchi dumplings, they were legit. Big and filling. In addition to naengmyeon, Naju also offers a variety of Korean soups (e.g., seolleongtang - ox bone soup and gomtang - beef bone soup) and LA galbi (grilled short ribs). During our visit, the pickup counter was staffed by a bunch of ajummas (Korean middle-aged women), basically Korean lunch ladies. I'd come back. This place seems ideal for a quick stop for an easy and reliable Korean meal / comfort food.

My latest new Korean favorite resto - this spot had been on my bookmarks for a while but hearing…read morethe space was kinda small, I knew the best time to come was either early or later - and the timing was never right - until last wknd. And wow, from K-Mom's service herself (and I think maybe her husband?) to the food taste AND presentation, this place is now on the repeat visit circuit. First let me rave about the banchan selection - not only is there 10 different banchan, they are quality banchan (see pics) ... my favorites were the anchovies w/ peanuts, spicy raw squid, radish kimchi, and shiitake mushrooms. The menu selection is your usual traditional Korean dishes and the prices may seem high but competitive w/ other Korean restos - and very worth it when you think about all the tasty banchan accompanying your meal. JE YOOK BOKUM - $17.99 Spicy stir-fried pork. Pretty good. Also came w/ a big bowl of seaweed soup (nice surprise and delicious) AND purple rice ... I love purple rice! YOOK GAE JANG - $15.99 My friend said it was very good! I only tasted the soup part and it was good! Overall, highly recommend - their food is a great example of 손맛 (sonmat). I'll be back for sure!

The owners are super nice. The chicken is cooked-to-order so be patient - it's so worth it :) SPICY ORIGINAL WINGS - $28 (16 pcs) While I favor the flavored KFC chickens at other places - I've always thought bb.q Chicken had the best "original" KFC. They do the crispy version best - then yesterday I got introduced to "spicy original" - wow where have I been?! So good - I couldn't stop eating! And I can't stop thinking about them! GALBI WINGS - $28 (16 pcs) This was good too, just very slightly spicy, but too saucy for me. It's a favorite for my other friend. It's exactly what you expect - wings with galbi sauce. FRIES - $6 They do the wrinkle cut fries - like the chicken, they cook-to-order so it arrives nice & hot. But it was covered in salt - I only ate a couple fries. However my friends didn't seem to mind and finished the rest. The chicken does come with little condiment containers of pickled white radish. They are super vinegary - I wish they were sweeter. But they do complement the chicken well. Side note - they had a table tent card mentioning $3 beer which is a great deal. I'll be back for those Spicy Original Wings are sure!
