Solid Korean spot with homey, feel good options. I had the seafood kalguksu, which was comfort food that I needed after a long flight to ATL. The broth was deep in flavor, piping hot, and the noodles cooked perfectly with a good bite. The banchan - loved the variety and flavors - spicy, sweet, savory. My personal favorites were the broccoli, kimchi, and potatoes. Service was great, attentive without being overbearing. Beautiful interiors in this charming part of Alpharetta. read more

Jang Su Jang - Seafood kalguksu - Korean Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

We came here exactly the same time last year...but I remember we were bit disappointed in how ridiculously spicy-hot the Galbijiim was! 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??? read more

Jang Su Jang - complimentary soup - Korean Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

Had high expectations but the service was terrible, long wait for drinks, food, moved our table etc. the food was ok but a bit bland. Very expensive. Will def go back one more time and hope the whole experience is better. read more

We had a reservation and were seated immediately upon arrival. Our server was very patient and did an excellent job explaining the menu and dishes. Since a couple of us are vegetarian, she was also very accommodating with modifications to meet our dietary preferences. The ambiance was lovely and made for a great lunch date setting. However, the food portions were on the smaller side, and the bibimbap was served differently from the traditional style we expected. Overall, we found the flavors to be just average and not particularly memorable. While the service and atmosphere were excellent, we're not sure we'd return specifically for the food. read more

Amazing food, great service, the vibes are chill and friendly. Personal faves are vegetable pancakes, sausage/rice cake skewers, japchae, galbi, and all the banchan. The bing su is an obsession If you love Korean food this is a must go. 10/10. read more

0/5 stars. What kind of scam is this???? As a korean, this place was a huge disappointment. First off, jjamppong no matter where you go all have a distinct, staple taste. The spicy jjamppong here tasted horrible. it was just noodles with 5 pieces of over cooked and old seafood in chili paste broth.... Second. The bibimbap? why would they serve it on a FLAT plate? it was so hard to mix the rice in it. Portion size of this dish was like kids menu. Not sure if they only focused on the aesthetics of the restaurant but there no need for you to waste money here. read more

Definitely come here for the lunch combos ($16-20 ea)! It comes with beef broth soup and great sides including a veggie pancake, gimbap, spicy tofu, and more. I loved the Duluth location and this was my first time at the Alpharetta one! The Duluth one has different ownership now. I got the tofu soup, tasty as always! Unfortunately this location doesn't have purple rice though. The banchan (side dishes) were solid too and you can ask for refills. There are only about 10 booths so I would make a reservation if you're coming at a peak time. As for parking, there's a free public parking garage down the street a couple blocks - search up "Alpharetta public garage". Street parking is also free, 3 hr limit. read more

I have been going to the Duluth Jang Su Jang for many years. After hearing it changed ownership, I figured I should try out this location. It's located in downtown Alpharetta so there is either street parking or a parking deck that is a short walk away. Upon entering, this location is a completely different vibe than the original location. The Duluth location is large and warm, with a cozy homestyle and humble interior. This location gives a more upscale and elegant feeling. All the dinnerware are a matching silver. While the original location has a mix and match of many different kinds of plates/bowls for the banchan. Like some other reviews mentioned, the food is not exactly the same even though the menu looks more or less similar. They don't serve the same purple rice here (my favorite!) or give a raw egg to crack into the hot soondubu soup. The seafood pancake which I loved from the Duluth location, is extremely hard and crunchy here. I like it a bit crispy but still soft inside. It may be down to preference though. Just something to remember because I did see other reviews mention the crispier/harder texture here as well. The soup and banchan are still good. Just not exactly the same. This location is definitely still worth a try though if you are a fan of the original location! read more

I love coming to Jang Su Jang for authentic Korean food. My favorite dishes are Korean army stew, bulgolgi, spicy pork, seafood pancake, tofu soup, and ttebboki. The side dishes are great, and the staff is extremely friendly. Seating is comfortable, and it's easy bringing my two babies here. Parking can be a bit tricky since they're located in downtown Alpharetta, but there's a parking lot nearby. read more

Jang Su Jang - Korean Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

My coworkers and I have been going here whenever we need a quick Korean food fix but it has been letting us down every time. Jang Su Jang is super popular Korean restaurant in Duluth and the owner recently sold off its original location in Duluth as well as JS Kitchen banchan store while keeping the Milton Jang Su Jang location. Like other comments, parking is a bit hectic but there is a deck you can park in on the next stret over. Interior is much fancier while the initial location has very traditional Korean vibe to it. JSJ is known for their side dishes, hence they had their own banchan/side dishes store. Also has a diverse menu, which my goto was the galbijjim or haemulkalgooksu. Each visit we visited the Milton location, food was bland but we kept telling each other it'll be better next time and we'll try something else next time but I think we just had enough. Here's all the disappointments. They dont have the same purple rice from their original location. Banchan is not as good - kimchi is watered down, japchae is so dry, and etc... Half of the sides are bland which is also true for the entrees as well. I used to love Duluth JSJ seafood pancake but here, they changed to more fried and crispy version that hurts the roof of my mouth. My favs such as haemulkalgooksu has no depth in it here. Also all the other soup entrees that my coworkers tried such as yukgaejang and galbitang were all let down as well. While we love having a Korean spot in Alpharetta, just little disappointed that they tone down the flavor. read more

Jang Su Jang is one of the best options for Korean food in the Alpharetta-Milton area. Many people will recognize the name from its long-standing reputation in Duluth, and it's great to have a location closer to home. The menu feels a bit more streamlined than I remember from the original location, though the core dishes are still there. It will be interesting to see how the restaurant evolves under the current management. Regardless, the food consistently tastes authentic and well prepared. Service has always been pleasant and efficient during my visits, which makes the experience even better. Parking can occasionally be tricky since it's located in downtown Alpharetta, but there's a nearby free parking garage that makes it manageable. Overall, it's a solid go-to when you're craving Korean food in the area without needing to drive to neighboring cities. read more

I returned to Jang Su Jang a second time. This was just as great as the last! The owner, Steven, was there to greet us again and talk. He is very proud of his food and he should be. He made sure to take care of me and my guests. And we ate so much. The service was so attentive. I know our serves went back and forth every 10 minutes just to get us more kimchi pickles. They are so amazing they should be jarred and sold We had a repeat of the previous dishes and added pork belly to it. I ordered short ribs to go with as many pickles as they could give me. I can't wait to be hungry to eat all my leftovers. Please make the journey up to Alpharetta to eat at Jang Su Jang. Steven works hard on this food and it shows. You will love the ambiance of such a friendly restaurant. read more

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. read more

Tried Jang Su Jang for the first time and was genuinely impressed. The food was incredibly flavorful, especially the seafood pancake and soon tofu soup. Everything tasted fresh and authentic, and the banchan selection was generous and varied. The staff was kind and attentive, and the overall vibe felt warm and welcoming. To call your server at any time you just press a button on the table which is very clever. Excited to come back and try more! read more

Finally more Korean restaurants in Alpharetta! The original Duluth Jang Su Jang owner opened up a location in downtown Alpharetta. Parking is extremely limited and difficult. It'll be hard to find parking right in front, so definitely expect to walk a bit either to street parking elsewhere or parking decks about 3-5 min away. It's connected with a hotel so you can enter from the hotel. And it also shares bathrooms with the hotel, which is quite nice. Food was okay.. spicy wasn't as spicy as you'd expect and a lot of dishes are sweeter than usual. It's not the best Korean food, but it's still good enough if you're craving authentic Korean food. Service was fast though which was nice. Manager also gave us free ddeokbokgi so that got brownie points from me ;) read more

A great spot in downtown Alpharetta! Be prepared to park in a deck or a lot a little further away. Parking right in front typically gets full quickly. Staff is very friendly and quick. I got the Korean beef ribs. Super flavorful and you get rice and 7 sides as well. What was different here was that you don't have to cook the food yourself. Proteins are cooked for you and brought to you. Great spot in Alpharetta for Korean food! read more

Service and food are exceptional. We've tried a variety of things on the menu. This is one of our favorite places

My FAVORITE place to get Haemul Pajeon in ATL. So glad they opened a sister branch close to our home! Things you should know: I. PARKING Up the street, there is a free parking garage (by the animal hospital). It's a brief walk to Jang Su Jang from there if you can't find street parking out front. II. SERVICE Attentive with banchan refills and timely with bringing out our order. I was wearing a white dress and they were considerate enough to give me a clear, plastic apron so I wouldn't dirty my outfit! III. QUALITY Literally, nothing here has disappointed us! For my friends who don't know how to navigate the menu, here are a couple recommendations: * Haemool Pajun (해물파전) * Bulgogi Mushroom Jungol (불고기 버섯전골) * Kimchi Soft Tofu (김치 순두부) if you like spicy IV. CAPACITY They're relatively new so please show them support so they can thrive 제가 애틀란타에서 해물파전을 먹기 가장 좋아하는 곳입니다. 우리 집 근처에 새로운 지점이 생겨서 너무 기쁩니다! 알아두셔야 할 사항: I. 주차 길 위쪽에 있는 무료 주차장이 있습니다 (동물 병원 근처). 만약 가게 앞에서 주차를 못 하셨다면, 그곳에 주차 후 장수장까지 걸어오시면 됩니다. II. 서비스 반찬 리필과 주문을 가져다주는 타이밍이 매우 신속했습니다. 제가 흰색 원피스를 입고 있었는데, 옷을 더럽히지 않도록 투명한 일회용 앞치마를 챙겨주는 세심함도 있었습니다. III. 음식의 질 여기서 실망한 적이 단 한 번도 없습니다! 메뉴 선택이 어려우신 분들을 위해 몇 가지 추천드리겠습니다: * 해물파전 * 불고기 버섯전골 * 매운 음식을 좋아하신다면 김치 순두부 IV. 좌석 수 이곳은 비교적 최근에 오픈한 곳이니 많은 관심과 응원을 보내주셔서 잘 정착할 수 있도록 도와주세요. read more

Food and service were excellent! We ordered the Korean fried chicken skewers, Kim chi and beef tofu soup combo with beef short ribs, scallion pancake with bulgogi. Soups were extremely flavorful and just the right amount of spice! Ribs were very tender and melted in your mouth! Restaurant was extremely clean and my wife loved the ambiance. My wife's first Korean food experience was a hit and we can't wait to go back! read more

We were forgotten in the corner but the owner/chef made it up to us. Got at the restaurant at 7:15 to put in our name, told us that we'd be seated. Watched and saw that two groups who came after us get seated first even though we were waiting by the front door? Finally got seated at 7:30, rang bell to put in our order and did not get anyone to come take our order until 7:53, or bring water at all until then. We were excited for this place but the overall service and speed seemed to be catered to the main part of the dining room and the corner table was forgotten. Finally the bulgogi came at 8:10, it was cold tho so we asked for it to be sent back and the owner gave us an extra banchan, snail, as courtesy. Soondobu came at 8:20. But the biggest kicker was that at 8:30 he came with a whole seafood pancake on the HOUSE. Like from one asian brother to another asian brother you didnt have to do all that your restaurant was busy as heck. This completely changed our attitude and definitely made our night. Dining room is nicely designed except i feel that our table in the back was forgotten but the owner made it up to us. Food is exceptional. We were starving by the time we were served our food at. We ordered the soon tofu soup ($15~) and the bulgogi ($20~). The soon tofu soup was really delicious and flavorful and the broth they used is great and is the best ive had in atlanta. Bulgogi was great, sizzling, hot, fresh and savory. read more

Parking is a real tragedy, prepare to hunt and hunt and then ultimately go on a long walk to get from a parked car to the restaurant. We got the bulgogi lettuce wraps, seafood pancake, fried calamari, bibimbop, beef soup. Would not recommend the calamari. Comes out fried in tempura which actually was very nice but the stiff, finger-like calamari was tough and quite scary looking once the fried portion came off. Seafood pancake if definitely the way to go, includes calamari and more and overall very tasty. The beef and tofu bibimbop was not plentiful in the beef or tofu but overall was very nice and didn't feel bogged down by restaurant salts and who knows what. It came with a bonus presentation in the hot pot and frying the egg, who doesn't love a dinner and a show? The beef soup really is the star! I felt my soul heal itself with just a few slurps of soup, my bones were warmed from the inside out. Soup is legit whatever throat secret ingredient is really kept me running! 4 stars - good food but just off enough to not go running back any time soon. read more

We came here while visiting Alpharetta. The location is in the bustling center of downtown, and even though we had a fairly late dinner on the weekend, it was lively outside and there were plenty of patrons inside as well. We ordered some staple Korean dishes - LA galbi, bulgogi, and pajeon, which came with some staple side dishes as well. Everything was delicious and my favorite was the galbi which I am still thinking about hours later. I'd definitely recommend this place, five stars all the way! read more

Super clean and nice interior. Parking can be a little difficult but it isn't too complicated. The side dishes were perfect and plentiful. I got the Soteok Skewer and it was perfectly crispy and chewy with a sweet glaze. My dad and I shared the Short Ribs for 2 and it was plenty for the both of us. It was so good that I still dream about it The staff was attentive but there's a little button you can press if you do need something ! The food is a little pricey but I assume it's because of the location and how new the place is but other than that, it's so good !!! read more

I passed through this place multiple times and loved the decor and vibe and one day finally gave it a try. Here is the summary of my experience at Jang Su Jang: 1) Ambiance 6/5: I absolutely loved the vibe and ambiance of this place. This looks like a very posh fine dining space. This was my major reason for visiting this place 2) Service 5/5: The people here are very helpful and they make sure that you are properly taken care of. They were patient and helpful in explaining the different options and even suggested things to replace in case you wanted a vegetarian experience. 3) Food 4/5: The highlight of our experience was the small sides that were offered to us along with our main food. You can order them unlimited and they are delicious - something for every taste bud. Here is the summary of my experience with the food we ordered: a) Fried calamari: They were crispy and tasty. Worth a re-order as an appetizer. b) Mushroom Tofu: The tofu was very soft which was served with a side of rice. Overall the taste was good. This was one of the few menu items which was vegetarian (even without egg). I wanted to try Ramen soft tofu but was told that it might have fish oil or egg in them. c) LA Gaibi: I believe it was this dish but pardon me if I missed it. The portion was huge but my wife did not like the taste of it. The sides also were great accompanying it. 4) Value for Money 4/5: It's not the cheapest place for Korean food but given the ambiance and the helpful people there, I can let the price slide a little. In summary: It is worth a visit if you love beef and steak and want to experience fine dining at cheaper prices. The good: 1) Ambiance 2) Service 3) Sides for your dishes Not so Good: 1) Not many options for vegetarians 2) A little pricey read more

Food here was absolutely delicious, We ordered the Bosam Jungsik (Boiled pork with lettuce wraps and veggies) and the King beef short rib stew for two! I couldn't recommend the beef stew enough- it was some of the best I've had! I also loved all of the side dishes they were all fresh and tasty! Service and ambiance was great- we came on a Saturday and were seated immediately. My only complaint is that parking in downtown alpharetta is a hassle so please keep that in mind read more

Jang Su Jang is the perfect addition to dt Alpharetta and I'm glad they branched out from their original Duluth location. Alpharetta hasn't had decent Asian food offerings and this is a game changer. Great food, gorgeous and modern interior, and quick service! Food: The banchan was good quality and we enjoyed the spicy galbijim entree we ordered. It was too sweet for how I like galbijim, but it was still good. It also was barely spicy. My boyfriend enjoys very spicy food so we asked for a side of spicy sauce on the side. The waitress brought out this little cup and warned us that it is extremely spicy....That was an overstatement- it was one of the spiciest things he ever had! Be careful if you request that. We also tried the spicy tteokbokki which was decent. Overall, I would definitely come back to eat delicious Korean food here. Alpharetta, please continue to open good Asian restaurants!! read more

Great to have Korean food in Alpharetta. Kimchi Red is so busy these days, it's difficult to get a table so options are very welcome. Jang Su Jang is fairly well known so it's nice to see it show up here. I had ordered a decent spread to sample a few things. It's not as good as the Duluth location so seeing all the five-star reviews is probably just hype, in my opinion. Here's what's good: Short rib stew -- outstanding LA galbi -- pretty good Grilled mackerel -- could be better but not bad Dolsot bibimbap -- solid So tteok -- tasty Not so good: Seafood pancake -- overcooked Deep-fried mandoo -- average, wrappers taste generic Alcoholic drink choices were a bit lopsided. They have sake flights on the menu, but when you ask about it, there's no sake available. :/ Situated in the old Sabu restaurant (you might even see some familiar Sabu choices), the interior is beautiful, but I have to admit I wish it was cozier. Service was friendly. You can even experience the table side call buttons to get your server's attention which every restaurant should have. read more

Friend visited from NY, I would say Korean food is best in GA. Usually my family visit the original one in Duluth. They open one in Alpharetta which is closer to home. Love this new location! High ceiling, modern, clean, nice vibes. Servers are very attentive. 6 small dishes of appetizers to start with plus Korean bean soup. Seafood pancakes is not the traditional thin pancake but the fried thick and crispy with a lot of seafood and veggies! Galbijjim (braised beef short ribs) is the dish you cannot miss! Short ribs are so flavorful and just the right tenderness! Love eating all the veggies - radishes, pumpkins, carrots! Rice cakes are like gold... only two pieces. The sweet and savory bring your tastebuds to the next level! Very satisfying! read more

Jang Su Jang is one of our favorite Korean restaurants in Atlanta! The short rib stew is absolutely amazing and packed with flavor. It's such a rich and comforting dish, a personal favorite of mine! We also tried the bossam, and I actually really enjoyed it despite not liking fatty pork belly. The dumplings were good as well. Honestly I don't think you can go wrong with anything you order here.
