    String Bean with Ground Pork
    Michelle H.

    J Bistro is Korean and Chinese fusion restaurant, although it leans more Chinese. The interior is nicely decorated and quite clean. There are tables for small and large parties. The service was quick and the servers were attentive. We had a large party so lots of dishes were ordered, but the main dishes that I took note of were the Twice Cooked Pork Belly, String Bean with Ground Pork, Honey Glazed Walnut Shrimp, and Scallion Pancake. I love Twice Cooked Pork Belly, having had my first taste at an amazing Szechuan restaurant at my undergraduate institution. I have been looking for a restaurant that sells this dish in Atlanta AND makes it well. The Twice Cooked Pork Belly here was not bad, it was thinly cut pork belly slices, which I liked. I think there could have been more flavor and spice to it, though. The String Bean with Ground Pork was yummy!!! I love getting green/string beans at Chinese restaurants. I also liked the Honey Glazed Walnut Shrimp. The sauce was good and the shrimp was pretty large. I was very disappointed in the Scallion Pancake. The waitress asked if I wanted to pan-fry or fry (I assume in oil?) the pancake and I asked for pan-fried. The Scallion Pancake was not crispy at all and it should have been. It was kind of floppy and it did not have enough scallions in it. Overall, I think that this is a nice Chinese restaurant. There are lots of options to pick from (including some Korean foods). I am not the biggest fan of Chinese food, but I would consider coming back here to try their other dishes.

    Water Hot and Boiled Fish
    Amanda C.

    Came by on a Sunday evening and it was quite busy for dinner, and barely staffed. Took awhile to get our waiter's attention and food took longer than expected. Water boiled fish: quite good, tender fish, large portion, but could def be spicier with some numbing spice. Beef rolls: tasted fine but wish there was cucumber in it like the photo to add some textural contrast. Spicy wontons: tasted fine, but skin was very thick and not much filling. Pea sprouts: can't go wrong with this veggie dish although would have appreciated some more garlic flavor. Not bad though!

    I have walked past J-Bistro a hundred times now without any interest in trying until my friends started talking about it recently. I finally got a chance to check it out with my girls last month. Everything here is served family-style which is how it ought to be. I love trying a little bit of alot of things! Food: * Hot & Boiled Fish ($24.95): Yum! I highly recommend ordering this massive dish. It's so tasty to eat with rice. * String Beans with Ground Pork ($14.95) * Chicken Lo Mein ($14.95) * Scallion Pancake ($5.95) Service: Excellent. The staff here is very accommodating and friendly. We love the food and J-Bistro has yet to disappoint. The vibes are casual with moderate noise. There are booths and tables in the open area. We have opted for booths for a slightly more private dining experience. I'm a huge fan and can't wait to be back to try other menu items.

    Update- ordered UberEats from them last night to give second delivery try. Awful. Beef and peppers, snow tips, chicken and green beans, and hot and sour soup. As of this morning, about to toss in garbage. We barely ate it for dinner last night as it was not good. Was so awful that we ate a few bites, put in fridge but neither of us want to eat it...so in the trash. Not sure why it tasted so good when we went to restaurant to try for the first time. Maybe it is a different chef who does delivery orders. I retract my recommendation as it is a complete waste of money...no consistency. At least for my tastes. Seriously...the fast takeout place that we order "cheap" Chinese food on Roswell Road is a gazillion times better for fraction of the price. Not even sure if I want to waste a meal by dining in the restaurant. But this review is for the delivery. Waste of money. Pictures are of the food in the takeout containers as I was throwing in garbage.

    Always a must stop when we're in town! Portions are huge and we always leave more than satisfied. Wonton soup and Dan Dan noodles were very fresh and flavorful. Staff is always attentive and welcoming. We enjoyed the beef scallion rolls and crab rangoon as well.

    My take-out plate at home, with Mongolian Beef and Kung-Pow Chicken. YUM YUM
    Alexandra G.

    I think we just found our new go-to spot for Chinese takeout!! We ordered the Mongolian Beef, Kung-Pow Chicken, and the pan-seared Potstickers. Everything was delicious!!!!! The Mongolian Beef was cooked to perfection, and the abundance of onions and scallions made this dish perfectly balanced. The Kung-Pow Chicken came with plenty of veggies, and the added zucchini was a nice touch. It was swimming in a succulent sauce that had great flavor. The portions are giving- we ordered 2 entrees and one appetizer, and we had enough left over to eat for dinner the next night too. I'm really looking forward to eating it again for dinner tonight lolll :) I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for good Chinese in the area. I'll definitely be back!

    J bistro is our go to Chinese restaurant. The service is always quick, and the food is authentic, delicious, and flavorful. We've brought our friends and family here, and always had a great time. The price is not cheap compared to other Chinese places, but I think it's well worth it.

    Chong Qing spicy chicken
    Isabel W.

    First time trying this place and I still can't believe it took us this long. As soon as you walk in you're hit with such yummy smells and can clearly see into the kitchen in the back where all the woks are being used. There were plenty of seats available from booths, tables and large family style tables. The service was great, everyone was so polite and we never had to ask for refills on our water. My husband and I shared an appetizer and 2 entrees - and honestly, the portions were so big that this could have fed 4 people lol. We definitely want to come back to try the other dishes, probably in a bigger group setting so we can maximize our ordering. A lot of tables around us were getting the black bean noodles and sweet and sour pork so that's at the top of my list. Food/price: - Braised Beef Scallion Rolls (~$9): appetizer, comes as 4 pieces. This to me tasted like the beef version of the peking duck you get with the tortilla style carb and not the bao bun. The flat bread it was wrapped in is flaky, there's plenty of meat and it was very good. - Hot and Boiled Beef (~$20): comes in a HUGE shallow bowl with so much beef, napa cabbage slices, and zucchini. It's not as spicy/numbing as I thought it would be, maybe not enough Sichuan peppercorn? I think I would ask for it extra spicy next time. But even still, I thought the flavors were good and this paired really well with the chong qing chicken bc that was a bit saltier and spicier than this dish. Comes with shareable rice. - Chonqing Spicy Chicken (~$20): sooo good! Great portions and flavoring. While it's not super crispy, the batter is light and the meat is juicy and there's plenty of it. Overall, really enjoyed our meal here. Everything we had was great, can't wait to come back!

    Black Pepper Tenderloin with Hot Plate
    Claire S.

    -never really consistent for me but I go back since it's close and good for when I want fusion food -beef on hot plate was enjoyable but a little too salty -fried pork with sweet and sour sauce is just okay -service is just okay -jjajangmyeon is also just okay -interior can get pretty busy during the weekends

    Melody W.

    Food - really good big portions Service - excellent super quick and attentive Ambiance - it was a little dark in there

    Millie C.

    Ordered a variety of dishes to be shared. All the dishes were so flavorful and great portions. The service was friendly and fast as well. We really enjoyed the snow pea tips, tofu, spicy fish, and the spicy chicken dish. Overall, I would definitely came here for family style meals.

    Lamb with Cumin
    Binh N.

    Super tasty Chinese food! Definitely one of the best Chinese places I've tried around Atlanta. The cumin lamb was tender and extremely flavorful with each savory bite. The fish dry pot featured crispy fish and an assortment of various vegetables that complemented the spicy, numbing mala undertones particularly well. Will come back to try other items on the menu!

We got the glass noodles with bone marrow and the braised pork belly. The glass noodles were tender but still had a nice bounce to them, and the bone marrow added a deep warm umami flavor. The braised pork belly was perfectly cooked, slight crisp and very juicy. It came with some lettuce and pickled vegetables to make wraps with.

I can imagine at varying times it may be a challenge to find a spot. However, and I understand this is a lot to ask for, it would've been nice to have some form of security around.

I worried about my car being broken into since he knew which one was mine, but thankfully it wasn't. I entered the restaurant to a cool, casual ambiance. The waitstaff was attentive and pleasant. Our table shared several items tapas-style/a la carte including: beef bulgogi, Brussels sprouts, glass noodle, scallion pancake, shishito peppers, hedo bap, and I believe one of the pork and/or chicken dishes. I can't remember which, but everything we ordered was tasty! My favorite item was the glass noodles! It was served very elegantly with the bone marrow (sorry I only got a picture of the portion I put on my plate). I'd love to take my husband here soon!

Still, I really liked the vibe of the restaurant, and all that they had to offer, so we decided to try again. Well, again, we ordered the Galbijjim...and this time, there wasn't a Regular or Spicy like last time. We also ordered a small size of Seafood Pancake. Well...Gotta be frank. This time, the Galbijjim was TOO mild. In fact, it even had this brown watery soup base (which I don't remember was a thing with Galbijjim??). WOW. Just can't seem to find the right balance here. Quite disappointing because we both were knocked over by just how AMAZING it was in the original Duluth location. Unfortunately, the Galbijjim at this location is just not the same. It's either too hot-spicy...or too mild (and soupy?!?). Also, the portion is WAY smaller...almost too small. If you look at the hot pot, it barely fills the bowl (?!?). Too mild...too soupy...and too skimpy. So again, we were quite disappointed. We agreed that if we're to have Galbijjim, we'll be going to the Duluth location over this one. Two Strikes, and OUT for me! Their side dishes were good...but again, I felt that the Duluth location offers a much more spirited variety of sides as well. Not sure why this is the case? I found this surprising as well...given how high the ratings were here?? Luckily, there was something we were impressed with...and that was their Seafood Pancake. It was MUCH crunchier than how I remembered it in the past...and both my husband and I agreed that this was THE best version we've had to date! We regretted not ordering the large size of this...as we enjoyed this more than the Galbijjim! It's so unfortunate that I'm still not able to upgrade the review to 5 stars...especially given how I love the vibe of this restaurant! Service is quite good too. But their Galbijjim continues to disappoint...so must dock another star. Maybe if I/we revisit, I'll order something else from their menu...and hopefully, it'll be better than their version of Galbijjim???

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.
