Jok Ga A Dong Chim is one of my favorite Korean spots in Atlanta. It has some of the best jokbal I've ever had, and it's always one of the first places I take family and friends when they come visit. Honestly, everything I've tried here has been so buss! read more

Still good, still serving excellent pork trotters. Nothings changed since last visit. Place can be intimidating for those not familiar with Korean food or this type of cuisine. But for those looking for this, they will be richly rewarded. Pork pork and pork. We had the 1/2 and 1/2 small which was more than enough for two of us. They threw in a kimchi stew. Served excellent kimchi (three ways). And soju served in the old style kettle. Not for everyone, but this place gets me. I'll be back. read more

Oh my gosh. We got the set 2, which came with half mild and half spicy pig's trotters, spicy tray noodles, kimchi jjigae, and a soju! We also got the steamed egg. I absolutely loved the spicy pig's trotters. The mild one was good too but man the spicy was so good, I went back on the last day to get take out tp take back home. And the mild jokbal was good with the spicy tray noodles! And the kimchi jjigae was the perfect broth to go with the meal~ read more

My husband and I stopped by on a Friday night and were seated right away. We ordered the Garlic Bossam and Pig Trotters Set (Medium), which was more than enough for two. Both dishes were delicious, but the Garlic Bossam truly stole the show. It was juicy, tender, and topped with the perfect amount of garlic. I especially loved that it was served on a portable flame burner, keeping every bite nice and hot. The friendly and attentive service was an added bonus. We had a great time dining here and will definitely be back! read more

Alright. I am a huge fan of anything in pork so this place was in my list for awhile. If you are Jokbal or Bossam lover, you have to go here. This place is small cozy and clean. Very welcoming staff and service is great. Their Banchan (side dishes) are on point. You know a good Korean restaurant if their Kimchi is good. Just remember that. Bossam and Jokbal definitely melts in your mouth. They've cooked so well and no smell of pork. I think this place has better Jokbal than most places in LA. read more

Underseasoned and underseasoned. Did I mention, underseasoned? Every time we spend $70+ for take outs, that same fate of underseasoned jokbal waits to be eaten, followed by another lament and complaints for both underseasoned original and spicy. Def can tell they skimping in ingredients. Not sure what their goal is, maybe winning over all senile palettes who has enough teeth and gum to chew up (or suck on), but you ain't winning loyal clientele existed when you seasoned it enough to be enjoyed. read more

If you're into pork dishes, this spot is a must-visit. I ordered the steamed pork belly and the spicy pork trotters, and both were incredible. The meat was juicy, tender, and full of flavor. Honestly, the steamed pork belly was the best I've ever had at a Korean restaurant--perfectly cooked, rich, and just melts in your mouth. I think if I had gone with the regular pork trotters instead of the spicy version, it might've been even better. The spice was good, but it did take away a little from the natural flavor of the trotters. Still, no complaints--it was delicious. The sides here were next level. All the banchan were fresh and well-seasoned, and the gyeranjjim (steamed egg) was easily the best I've had--light, fluffy, and packed with flavor. Service was great too--friendly, fast, and attentive without hovering. The atmosphere is casual and felt just like a drinking spot you'd find in Korea. This was my first visit, but I'm already planning to come back. read more

Let's try something new. I love Korean food and was asked to go try this place out. So it's all specialty dishesand mainly pork. It's Pork belly and pork trotter. I found the dishes interesting but good. The spicy pork is really spicy so be careful when ordering the spicy hot pork. The steamed pork belly was awesome as well as the rice bowls. The service was awesome as they answered all our questions regarding the dishes. A must try. read more

Wish I came here sooner. Located in Duluth, this restaurant is known for its spicy trotters and bossam plate. The menu isn't exhaustive and offers either a spicy or regular mild pork trotter. The Bossam also comes in regular or minced garlic version. Recommended Items: - spicy pork trotter (very spicy and not for people who cant handle spicy foods) - garlic bossam - rice balls (side dish) The restaurant has ample seating and also has an open parking lot. The service was excellent and the server explained and recommended other dishes. Definitely will be back here. read more

Jok Ga A Dong Chim - Bossam with Pig's Trotters Set - Korean Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

Make sure to come earlier if you want Bossam! They had run out by the time we got to the restaurant (around 8pm on a Monday). But that was fine because we were there for the pig trotters anyway! The pork was so good! It all came off pretty easily from the large plate and I really liked how you could choose to add sauce or sides so that you can just appreciate the meat on its own, or flavor it to your liking. I'm also usually not a fan of meat with a lot of fat still on it, but this was delicious! I do wish they gave us more sides though, like the scallions and kimchi. The steamed egg was really flavorful. I know a lot of places that don't steam the egg with both and you get a really plain eggy bowl, but that wasn't the case here! The rice balls were also really yummy and flavored well. read more

This place basically only serves its specialties, pig feet and bossam! I was really excited to try this place because I love both, but I found their style to be different from what I used to. The pork feet is dry rather than saucy so I feel that it lacks flavor. Same with the bossam. Their portions are huge though and it's impossible to finish the food in one sitting. It's also a LOT of meat, so I felt like the salty and umami flavor was overwhelming at times and needed to cut it with steamed egg and the side dishes. I wish there were more side dishes or sauces to balance the meat flavors! Definitely be prepared to take home leftovers and eat it for a couple days. There is also not much else on their menu. Parking is a small lot and service was fine. Place is clean and modern. read more

Good place for drinks and pork trotters. I think it's the only place in Georgia that makes it right. There are two locations but this one is the OG and the one I go to. I love that you get so many side dishes when you order the pork trotters. We got the combo which came with kimchi stew and steamed egg - both very good. The servers are quick and will come when you push the service button. It's a very casual place and it gets very busy during weekends especially at night. read more

I'm not a fan of pork feet, but other options made the visit worthwhile. The third option in the set, the bossam and kimchi jjigae, was great for a late-night date with my wife and me. The bossam and jjigae were especially delicious when kept warm, and we didn't need to eat in a hurry. We had the rice balls and steamed egg as extras, and I have no regrets. The restaurant's atmosphere and our server, who always smiled and greeted us, was enough to make our special day. read more

I've been meaning to try this and finally got to. I was impressed by how popular it was and despite being understaffed due to a worker's emergency, the staff was apologetic and made an extra effort to ensure we were well taken care of. The owner was also very friendly and made us feel welcomed :) The food was excellent!! My boyfriend and I intentionally over-ordered to have leftovers, getting the large bossam and jokbal combo. The portion sizes were generous, and the sides were so delicious. We also ordered the steamed egg and rice balls, based on my boyfriend's recommendation from his previous visit, and they did not disappoint. I ended up eating much more than I anticipated because everything was so good. I'll definitely be back! So good!! read more

I've been wanting to come here for a looooong time, but had no one to go with (jokbal can be intimidating to some people). I finally caved and bought a bossam/jokbal set to go, all for myself lol. It is honestly worth every penny; you get a TON of sides and goodies to wrap your meats with, and they're all very tasty. The bossam was saltier than I expected, but not bad--just wasn't what I was expecting. Jokbal was also very rich and full of flavor. I'm really enjoying this, even though the amount of food given may last me a week lol. Definitely bring a group and come here--it's a hidden gem that you won't regret going to. read more

Great food all of it was cooked really well great service definitely plan on coming back

I can't believe I've never been here before. The food is really good!! You get quite a decent portion for the price so the value is there! Service was good as well, servers were very friendly though not as attentive however they have the bell so you can ring if you need something. We got the combo set (L) that was half/half and it fed 4 people and we walked away extremely full. Would recommend and revisit again. It's also great for takeout too if you prefer not to dine in. read more

This review is for their takeout of the medium bossam. The food itself was amazing and huge (enough for two meals for two people in my opinion), and came with so many kimchi and pickled veggie sides, as well as lettuce and perilla leaf wraps. We got the garlic version, so ours also came with some pickled garlic which was sooo good and garlicky, it really made this stand out for me. I'll most likely be a regular here just for that late night bossam. We went in person to place the order and the takeout process was relatively smooth, but they were out of the trotters at the time we went (9PM on a Friday) which is the main reason I'm giving a 4 instead of 5. Also, I'm not sure if their hours have changed because the first time I tried coming they were already closed at 10PM on a Saturday. Inside, there is a lot of semi-private booth seating and I do want to come back and get the dine in experience with a group, it seems like a fun place to come with friends. read more

Jok Ga A Dong Chim - Medium Boiled Pork Wraps - Korean Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

great place, they offer mainly pig's feet with some sides. Supposedly they run out of food around 7pm so you can order in advance with a reservation. Shared: - half spicy and half regular pig's feet: best of both worlds. The spicy sauce isn't spicy to the point where you can't handle it. It was a nice subtly sweet flavor as well and a charred taste like it was on the grill which makes it even better. The pig's feet is juicy, tender, and so so good - bossam: not pictured but it's a giant plate of steamed/boiled pork belly. Not too much flavor but that's what the dips and sides are for! Very moist and tender as well - bottle of soju that comes with a side of kimchi soup as a service!! (Aka free soup lol) - sides: lettuce for wraps, freshly made kimchi, white kimchi, seasoned leeks - sauces: salted shrimp/squid with jalapeño, ssamjang aka soy bean paste, and soy sauce read more

This is a Korean restaurant that specializes in pig trotter and bossam. Omg everything here is so delicious and they quickly bring your food once you order. We had the pig trotter and bossam set that was for 2-3 people with sushi ball. For the sushi ball, they'll bring you a bowl of rice with topping and you mix it up and make them into balls . The side dishes of the kimchi and pickled veggies were so yummy and I couldn't stop eating it The bossam and trotters were also very delicious. read more

Stopped by for a dinner for two. Was promptly seated. They give you free chilled tea. The atmosphere is rustic and pretty good for a small group. Purely food based review: Bossam & Pork Hock Set for 2: Probably the best bossam (Korean Pork) I've had in GA. There are some bones you can easily spit out, but it goes fantastic with the veggie sides and saamjang sauce. The pork hock is also pre-sliced for you to easily eat like any other piece of meat! Definitely filled is up with some leftovers. Steamed Egg: Huge egg portion that's super fluffy and goes well with the meat. Kimchi Stew - Definitely comes out default spicy but warms you up on a cold night. read more

I absolutely recommend coming here for dinner or lunch. They open at 3pm, so keep this in mind! The pork was amazing, and everything was seasoned so well. I suggest getting the rice balls to balance the food out, but I have no bad comments about this place. Some of the menu options aren't in the actual menu book itself, so look around the restaurant for extra food options. The steamed egg was probably the best I've had, and the atmosphere was very clean and nice. The food came out very quickly as well. I got the bossam with pig's trotter small set (great for 2-3 people), and it's one of their most popular items- can definitely see why. I also got the steamed egg and rice ball combo and the kimchi stew hotpot. Everything was so good. read more

This place is such a hidden gem for pork trotters! I can't believe we didn't know about them earlier and it certainly deserve more reviews! We got the medium set mild and spicy pork trotters combo. Both were so good and flavorful in their own ways. They're not just different spicy levels - the spicy trotters have more of sweet/tangy flavor which I love! They serve sesame leaves to pair with the trotters which is very authentic. The portion is definitely on the larger side. The medium set can easily feed 3-4 people. For sides we also got the spicy tray noodles and rice balls. High recommend both! You'll need to mix and make the rice balls yourself but it's so fun and easy to make. They are delicious and so cheap! The spicy tray noodles is also worth a try and is very refreshing! Great to pair with the meat. Overall highly recommend! We'll definitely be back! read more

The best bossam place in duluth!! Their main dishes are pig trotters and boiled pork wrap ( bossam ). Bossam is a boiled pork dish where you wrap it with lettuce or perilla leaves and side dishes like kimchi, raw garlic.. etc. pretty much anything you want to put in the wrap. I crave bossam like every other week, so i've tried multiple places and no where is as good as here!! I feel like usually if they main only two-three dishes at a restaurant then I just think they are confident about it and it's probably good. Every time I try a place that mains in a certain dish then its usually pretty smacking good and this place is one of them. I ordered a garlic bossam and rice ball+ steamed egg combo. When I first went there they actually gave us kimchi stew as service because they were new and me and my friends were one of the few first customers they had! I got to say everything was really good! I actually did not take pictures, only videos so I took a screenshot of my video and it might be a little blurry. read more

We ranged the service bell and within seconds, someone came by and every request fulfilled quickly. How can you not like a place like this read more

My friend and and I stopped by for some dinner. The staff was very helpful and kind. It was my first time ever eating bossam. I was every excited to give it a try. The pork belly was delicious. It was perfectly cooked. Even though it was boiled the seasonings and herbs used took out that gamey smell that pork has. I was pleasantly surprised at how flavorful it was. I was missing more veggies like lettuce or cucumbers. The side dishes were delicious though. I mean that kimchi was sooo good! The pork trotters was a little tough for us to eat. The tendon was too chewy. I'm used to fall of the bone gluglationous pork feet. Haha Overall, it was a very nice experience and I will go back for more. read more

I had no idea what to expect by Jok Ga A Dong Chim. I'd seen old reviews on Yelp and had been curious to try it for myself. If you don't eat pork and are not super adventurous to order pork trotters... this may not be the best first choice restaurant for you. But the combos here for pork trotters and soju are undeniable. We ordered a combo because it was just too worth it, even if it was just for 2 people - I would say the amount of food is enough for 4-5 people... The Korean ahjummas at the table next to us were judging us so hard the entire time. How did we know? Their whispers and pointing at our table lol. For $54.99, you get half and half pork trotters (mild and hot), kimchi jigae and soju. We also ordered riceballs + steamed egg, which we got for free for paying with cash. It may not sound like a lot but after the meal, the leftovers lasted me at least 3-4 more meals. Also, don't underestimate "hot". Because it burns. Don't touch your eyes!!! Next time I'm bringing the whole family and then some because it's a lot of food! read more

My boyfriend and I checked this place out on a Monday night and I'm so happy we did! After reading the great reviews, my anticipation was great and I'm glad Jok Ga A Dong Chim met it! Based on previous reviews, definitely reserve your platter ahead of time! I called in and we arrived early and they were packed! I got the medium Bossom platter ($49) and the spicy tray noodles ($12.99). The steam eggs and rice balls were complimentary since we pay in cash. The medium platter could really feed 3-4 people! It's huge with a lot of meats. I like that the pork belly was cooked and you can wrap it fresh and hot. The spicy noodle was so refreshing, I highly recommend it! My only complaint was it took a while for the server to give us banchans and such but I know they were busy. Overall, I will definitely come back and bring friends! 37/2021 read more

Food: I really enjoy this place's meal. I've tried other places in GA and this restaurant rank #1 easily. I usually get one of the two combinations: 1) half spicy & half nonspicy trotters 2) Bossam + non spicy trotter set. Both are very good depending on your mood for the day. When you order bossam for takeout, they put this hot water pack under the bossam to keep it warm. I found it very neat and it does keep the bossam warm for a period of time. Service: Better than some haughty korean BBQ servers thats for sure. Ambiance: check the inside photo on yelp, they are pretty accurate. Recommend: Trotters, Bossam, Spicy Sea Snail Salad Noodle read more

I rarely use the word "gem" when describing restaurants, but I have to use it here because Jok Ga A Dong Chim is truly a gem. Metro Atlanta is lucky to have it. This is a chain from Seoul, South Korea that specializes in authentic Korean bossam (pork belly wraps) and jokbal (pig's trotters). This isn't the first Korean restaurant in Gwinnett to offer these items, but in my experience, it's certainly been the best. Currently, this is the chain's only location outside of Korea. It opened in Duluth in 2017. I've heard from Koreans that the bossam and jokbal here are even better than those found in Korea. Not only is the food great, but service and even the ambiance are stellar too. If you like good food and want to experience all that Atlanta has to offer culinary-wise, then I definitely recommend checking this place out. Jok Ga A Dong Chim is located in a small corner strip (Satellite Square) a couple doors down from popular Korean restaurant Jang Su Jang. It replaced Korean snack restaurant Yummy Place (https://www.yelp.com/biz/yummy-place-duluth-2) and is next door to Gopchang on Fire 2 (another unique Korean restaurant - they specialize in intestines; https://www.yelp.com/biz/gopchang-on-fire-2-duluth). Gopchang on Fire 2 replaced Ham Ji Bak Cafe (https://www.yelp.com/biz/ham-ji-bak-cafe-duluth), a restaurant that also featured bossam and jokbal. Another nearby restaurant that serves bossam and jokbal is Next Door (https://www.yelp.com/biz/next-door-duluth-2), owned by the same owners as and next door to Iron Age (Korean BBQ). Jok Ga A Dong Chim isn't very big, but it's spacious enough with tables that can accommodate groups both large and small. In typical Korean fashion, booths are partitioned with walls for (some) privacy and there's a server call button at every table. The dining room has a clean, low-key, and contemporary look to it with wall menus and Jok Ga A Dong Chim branding throughout. They have TVs and when we visited, they were playing K-dramas. This restaurant is best experienced with at least one other person as the portion sizes are designed for sharing. Takeout is a popular option too. The menu is simple. They offer small, medium, and large size platters/sets of pork belly wraps, pig's trotters, and spicy sea snail salads for anywhere from $29.99 to $49.99 an order. These, of course, come with a bunch of banchan (side dishes) that are refillable. They also offer various combos that include kimchi-jjigae (kimchi stew) and soju for $54.99 each. Sides include rice balls ($5.99) and gyeran-jjim (steamed eggs, $3.99). If you pay with cash, you get both the rice balls and steamed eggs for free. My fiancee and I ordered the following: * Bossam + Pig's Trotters Set (medium, $39.99) * Spicy Tray Noodles ($12.99) The Bossam + Pig's Trotters Set (medium size) is intended for at least 2-3 people, but our server Bo recommended we also order the Spicy Tray Noodles to accompany it. It was a great recommendation because it really helped round the meal out. The two of us did some damage and still had enough leftovers for 2-3 meals, so I thought pricing was fair. Presentation was outstanding. The bossam was served on a hot plate with a portable flame burner underneath. The burner wasn't there to cook the meat, but to keep it warm. Sides included crisp romaine lettuce, sliced raw garlic and jalapeno, a small side salad with a creamy dressing, pickled perilla leaves, kimchi, and a variety of spicy and pickled vegetables such as cabbage, chives, and daikon. Sauces included an onion-vinegar sauce and a salty shrimp sauce with a bit of jalapeno and cilantro. This was a phenomenal meal and probably the best bossam and jokbal I've had to date. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The pork belly was warm, soft, rich, and savory. The various tart, acidic, spicy, and in the case of the perilla leaves, sharp and aromatic, sides were perfect accompaniments. There's no right way to eat bossam. Some people like to make lettuce wraps while others pick at ingredients individually. I did both. The pig's trotters were excellent. They had terrific flavor and consistency. Nicely seasoned, sweet and smoky, with delectably thick and chewy skin, appetizing cartilage with wonderful mouthfeel, and lean and tender meat. Quality ingredients all around. The spicy tray noodles consisted of soba noodles topped with gochujang (red chili paste) and sesame seeds, surrounded by shredded greens and cabbage (green and red), julienned carrots and cucumber, and four hard-boiled egg wedges. These noodles are mixed at the table or in our case, tableside because there was too much stuff on our table already. The noodles were indeed spicy and also addictive. I couldn't stop eating them. Our servers, Bo and Kenny, were fantastic. They were friendly, attentive, and elevated our dining experience. I've seen two translations for Jok Ga A Dong Chim. One is "sleeping with the enemy" and the other, more literal, is "living with a family." read more

We enjoyed our dinner here, the Jokbal and Bossam were amazing.

Jok Ga A Dong Chim - Jokbal Bossam with Pig's Trotters Set - Korean Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

Finally had a chance to check out Jok Ga A Dong Chim (try saying that 3 times fast). It's located in Duluth, GA on Satellite Blvd. Pretty much smack dab in the middle of what people like to label as K-Town in GA. I just refer to the area as Pleasant Hill, but to each their own I guess. Restaurant size, they can fit a decent crowd. Seating options include booths and single tables. Each table has a built in grill. I ended up ordering the Pig Trotterd and Pork Bossam package. It comes with a side assortment of small kimchi type dishes. Also ordered a side of the steamed egg souffle. They give you big portions here by the way. I pretty much consider this "drinking" food with how it's setup you definitely want to try pairing it with a beer like Hite or Cass. The pork is really tender and not too chewy. Salt levels are tolerable. The dipping sauces add to the flavors as well. Overall great place to eat. Definitely recommend it. My Recommendations: -Pig Trotters -Pork Bossam -Beer read more

OVERALL- it was my second visit and food is consistent. Generally, food and service is good. It's clean. I definitely plan on returning when my family come visit again! COVID- the inside doesn't feel crammed. Tables are spaced out well and majority of the tables are all divided and have their own dedicated space. Only the very back had three tables next to each other without dividers which may be nice for big parties. VIBE- clean inside and has a slight oldie Korean style feel but is modern. It has the old Korean feel because place is decorated with a lot of wood and their kimchi jigae/ stew came in the golden pot. FOOD- Meat- very yummy. We got the set 1 which is the soy sauce marinated pork belly. Cooked well. Good flavour. Side dishes- all yummy. They don't have many side dishes because this is a pork belly/ trotter place. So it's typical for restaurants like this to have only few side dishes that traditionally come with these types of main entree. Kimchi jigae- they use aged/sour kimchi which happen to be my favourite type of kimchi jigae. I was impressed with the flavour! It also comes with pork belly in it. My partner doesn't like this type but he still enjoy it with the meal. SERVICE- very friendly and attentive. read more
