SERVICE Attentive. Kimchi and Kkakdugi are served consistently with each meal (and never old and sour). III. QUALITY The win-over for this establishment. Their seolleongtang congeals completely when leftovers are placed in the fridge, meaning it passes the ultimate quality test. This means it's not diluted with water; the collagen-rich broth is dense! Also, 고기가 많아요!

Tucked in the Korean Plaza by the Gwinnett Place Mall next to Chef Wong's sits a new traditional…read moreKorean comfort food joint called Hanbat So let's start with the particulars Ambiance: it's classic Korean stylized interior. Wood finishes mimicking a traditional Korean restaurant. The place seats roughly 120 people or so and it has warm cozy lighting Service: it's below average. Not great in terms of attentiveness since they didn't offer much in terms of refills of water or a status check in Food: I had the kalbi tang which is beef short rib soup. I think they specialize in the Korean comfort broth as they had all of the traditional hangover type rice soups from Yoo-Ggae-Jjang which is a spicy beef broth with tenderized flank steak, sprouts, and fern fronds to the Ugoji Tang with is soup made of tendon and cannot forget the SoellungTang, a popular beef bone broth with rice noodles and Ggori-Gom-Tang which is oxtail soup. All looked exception The kalbi tang broth is cooked to a lightness yet has a rich flavor to it. The beef is pull apart tender! Flavorful and rich. The broth to rice ratio favors the broth to be sure so you can't get a decent spoonful but for what it's worth, each bite is sumptuous and all around comfort food worthy. Can't talk about this place without mentioning the kimchi. They ONLY serve cabbage and radish kimchi and the way they serve it is vastly unconventional. First off, the radish kimchi isn't in the typical cube fashion. They serve it in little planks which is new for me to see and let me tell you, I enjoyed the way they prepped this. The radish kimchi is aged and fermented properly which provided such a fantastic offset that cut through the rich broth. The cabbage kimchi was also phenomenal! It didn't quite reach peak fermentation, it almost seemed like they finished prepping it two days prior to serving which is still in process of fermenting which has that still pre-fermented flavor which is great for eating such rich fatty broths that this place offers. Kalbi Tang sits at a $20 a bowl price point so it's relatively expensive all things considered but for what it's worth, between tax and tip, you're looking at a $27 lunch or dinner but you are getting a great product Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience! I didn't come to this place because originally the prices seemed too high (I…read morethink $17.99 for pork soup) but reasonable now ($14.99). First of all, I love self-service. Need something? Grab it. We got the pork soup which was awesome. Hot sauce is a must for me, and you just grab a stand from the fridge. The Soondae (blood sausage) is the homemade kind (Wonjo - original) and is perfect. The bossam and the pajun were on point, so overall it was a great meal, and we had plenty of leftovers. Will definitely be back!

Famous Busan pork - broth soup…read more Venue: order, pick up your food and self seating Food: it's a shame it only took over 4 decades to try this. As a seollung tang/gomtang (beef stock soup) enthusiast I was very excited to try this region - specially. The first sip o broth was amazing. Deep, rich, clean and full of flavor. If you are a tonkatsu ramen broth enthusiast, you may enjoy this one. Only thing was, the more I ate the more it got richer. The banchan was minimal and I could not find any special quality about it. We ordered spicy and regular. Spicy one a dollar more but don't do it. Because there is free dadegi (pepper paste condiment) on the table you can put in your soup and it'll be the same product. Also ordered dried pollack soup. Decent. Service: there is none. Would I come back again? Maybe or maybe not. One thing for sure, my heart is still set on the seollung tang (beef broth).

I rarely write reviews and try to be considerate of the behind the scenes operations as a former…read morefood service worker from my past. HOWEVER, I was very disappointed with the service. My partner and I came in around roughly 9:50-10pm. When we arrived we're were initially informed that we had to order soon because they were closing in 30 minutes and were understandings of that. Shortly after we were seated, (literally 1-2 minutes) about 3 employees came to our table letting us know we needed to order within the next few minutes. It was like 10:05. I tried asking one of the employee what the meat options were and was just interrupted by him being persistent in us ordering and did not really answer our questions, mainly because I noticed some of the meat options were pork and I do not consume pork for personal reasons. My partner and I felt overwhelmed and just ordered something we thought would not include pork. After submitting our order another employee came by with the check already without us asking insisting for us to pay before our food even came out. Mind you the restaurant closed within 20 minutes at this point. When our food did come out, it did contain PORK!!! We just left shortly afterwards and left the food on the table.

우리는 배가 터질 듯이 불러올 때까지 여기서 먹었다. 삼겹살 진짜맛있어. 돼지고기 냄새 없어. 10점 만점 10점!!…read more I came here with a group of eight people, and we all ordered the brisket, pork belly, and the large intestine. I was absolutely obsessed with the smell of this restaurant before I even went in! I appreciated them, giving us two grills, and the staff actually cook the meat for you. I wish I was sitting more towards the left grill because whoever cooked the pork belly on that side made sure the flame was hot enough and it cooked the pork thoroughly while also making it crispy on the outside. In front of me, the griller did not make the heat high enough so it took a while for the pork to be fully cooked. She told us it was done and it was still kind of chewy so I kept swapping back-and-forth from the left grill onto this one. That's the only reason why I gave it a four instead of a five out of five was because I did not like the way they cooked part of our pork. It was so chewy the fat was not cooked at all, but it was an easy fix. I just had to cook it longer on the other grill but again we shared two grills between eight people so 1/2 of our group got to eat more than us. I like how the pork doesn't have a really strong, pork smell, and it tasted very good like it was seasoned properly. I absolutely love the kimchi! I love how this restaurant stays open pretty late so we can enjoy eating and drinking. It's such a nice casual place to hang out. For dessert, we had kimchi fried rice haha. It was such a great night!

Sambong Naengmyun in Duluth, GA…read more Sambong Naengmyun is a Korean comfort food restaurant that is completely self-serve, with no tipping required. I'm actually a frequent customer here, and this was my first time trying their cold noodles! Here's what we tried: Spicy Cold Noodles (Recommend ) I love that you can grab the broth from the slushy machine and keep your noodles extra cold! The spicy version wasn't too spicy but had plenty of flavor. The noodles were chewy but still easy to bite through, and the fresh pear added a refreshing sweetness that balanced the spice really well. Cabbage Short Rib Soup (Recommend ) Comes with a whole short rib and dried cabbage in a very light, lightly seasoned broth. My husband loved how natural and comforting the flavor was. If you prefer soups that aren't heavily seasoned, this is a great choice. Mandu (Recommend ) One of my regular orders here! These Korean dumplings are made in-house with pork and vegetables. They're large, with thin wrappers and a generous amount of filling inside. Braised Pig Trotter The meat was tender, flavorful, and didn't have any unpleasant smell. I especially loved pairing it with the fresh raw chives. I recommend the half portion is enough for two people.

Their broth flavor definitely changed. On a recent trip the cold noodle broth looked opaque as…read morewhite paint and tasted like cold sullungtang broth. YUCK. Sullungtang broth + dongchimi broth, not a great pair unless you are a guilded craftmaster who knows what s/he's doing. Their complimentary hot broth tasted the same with grease lining they did not ace removing it, and the radish pickle side dish tasted harsh with no aging. Not so many good signs from a dedicated naengmyun store. New owner? An off day?

From their hearty meals, to free side dishes like kimchi, bean sprouts, radish, and even cucumbers. Everything is freshly prepared daily. You can also ask for refills on the side dishes!! Not only will you get a healthy meal here, you also do get a lot of food for the price. You'll definitely walk out with a full stomach. They also provide a cute little apron if you order their kimchi stew, which is super nice cuz we all know how badly the stains could be. I love this place.

I came here specifically for the snow garlic pizza, but I saw on the outside of the restaurant that…read morethey're transitioning their type of cuisine to a more fusion-type. They have more limited hours during this transition, and they took away the pizza and musubi options from their menu, likely as a result of this transition. Sad because I saw people raving about the pizza and I was looking forward to it. :( Inside wasn't busy at all, came around 5pm on a Sunday and there were two other parties there. Clean and well organized interior. You seat yourself at a table that has a dry erase menu and a marker, you write quantity of whatever menu item you want, and take up to the cashier and pay up front, no tip. Prices reasonable. Portions huge! Ordered spicy squid sizzling rice and seafood cream pasta. Yum for both! Only criticism I have is the crab on top of the pasta tasted really fishy, like not fresh. Some of the mussels and clams in the pasta had the same fishy taste. Squid and shrimp tasted fine though. I'd love to come back and try other things on their menu, and also see what new menu items they may be rolling out, just maybe no more seafood pasta for me.

HANA DULUTH/SUWANEE | We love a self-service Korean restaurant!!…read more Side note: I know this is a controversial take, but tipping culture has gotten out of control - restaurants really need to be paying their employees a living wage!!! So love that Hana is completely self service and doesn't even allow tips. Menu is huge and offers plenty of variety, from traditional to fusion. From tteokbokki and kimbap to pizzas and pastas, there's too much to try in one sitting... thus I've been back at least 3 times... and am due for another visit asap. I've tried a little bit of everything. My favorites are the omurice, the garlic snow pizza and the seafood pasta, the sizzling rice and other small appetizers like the the Hawaiian musubi or the fried glass noodles in seaweed. Definitely recommend Hana if you're indecisive and want to try different Korean street food and fusion!

My cravings for the famous Chinese-Korean combo brought me back to this place…read more.. Luckily, I noticed some positive changes! I remember thinking how stingy they were with the toppings on the Tangsuyuk, but this time, it was much better. They added more carrots as part of the toppings! Also, the Jjajangmyun tasted much better! THE only thing that could have been improved was the Tangsuyuk sauce...it was just barely sweet, despite its name. The place looked really clean and better managed this time as well. I do feel that this place would feel a bit more festive if they added some overhead music. Overall, I really enjoyed the Jjajangmyun-Tangsuyuk combo...and am glad they made some improvements to up the quality of their foods here!

Authentic Korean Food…read more This is traditional- old school Korean food. This place gives me the same vibe I grew up eating and common restaurants in Korea. So we went there for one dish Agujjim and it's spicy monkfish with bean sprouts. It is very large dish. It is made for two people but there was left over with 3 of us. They have Korean bbq as well and other traditional dishes but did not order due to the portion of what we went for is large. Felt like home here. It went really well with baekseju (Korean herbal sake-type) felt like my body and soul was healing. Service: exceptional! Lovely Ajummas (ladies) gladly to attend to you. I will definitely come back here for authentic- traditional Korean food!
