    1/24 설렁탕 seolleongtang
    Georgia B.

    Kang Seo is located in a big strip mall full of Korean shops in Lawrenceville / Suwanee border. This review is based on my late afternoon weekday seollngtang lunch. +. Ambiance is a small comfy diner vibe. +. Food is traditional Korean and I came here for their seollngtang as my favorite place on BuHi closed during Covid. My soup came out after about 10-15 minutes with several side dishes and rice. They keep sea-salt and pepper on the table, so they don't bring them out with the soup. Protein wise, the bowl had a reasonable amount. It wasn't the richest broth but I seasoned seollngtang to my liking and enjoyed the meal. + Price is average. + Service was prompt and friendly. Typical ajumeonis who mostly speak Korean. + Parking is shared lots, ample and free. Over all, Kang Seo is a nice Korean traditional with a decent bowl of sellongtang. But with KS being 1+ hour away, I'm still in search of a go-to sellongtang resto closer to me. MY RATINGS - - - Inhumane - - Disgusted - Don't bother = Missed the Mark + Good ++ Better +++ EDIBLE...WHERE have you been all my LiFe!

    Kimchi jjigae + seodae gui 10/10

    Great food and great service. Came in on a Friday around 7pm, seated right away and it was busy! Food came out with in 15 minutes of ordering and the Kimchi soup was the best Kimchi soup I have ever had. My friend did order another soup, but it was more bland Portions are just a little but smaller for us. I ordered the kimchi jjigae + seodae gui and that was a steal! Fish and soup for a great price compared to other places I was looking it We did order 2 extra rice to share with 3 of us I would come back!!

    Seolleongtang and dwaji bulgogi
    Emmelynn G.

    The food was good :) we got seolleongtang and dwaji bulgogi. The Banchan was very good as well. Servers were very nice; even though they don't speak much English, we were still able to communicate just fine. We went on a Sunday afternoon and there were not a lot of people inside. The food came out very quickly. All around good and filling.

    We LOVE this place! It's one of the best restaurants we've ever been to. The restaurant itself is a small, local place with amazing service. Everyone is so friendly, they answered any questions that we had and helped us pick up what we wanted. The flavors were bold, which is exactly what you'd want for this type of cuisine. Everyone's food was just beyond good and even our friends who were with us (who are on the pickier side) loved it and wanted to come back again!

    spicy stir fried pork (dwaeji bulgogi)
    Kellis N.

    The waitresses were very sweet and attentive. The atmosphere is cozy and the dividers in the booths offer a slightly more private experience. I loved the stews with my favorite being the soy bean paste. I asked for spicy and it was the perfect level of spice. The pork was a little oily at the bottom and there were really charred almost black pieces under it all. As for taste it paired well with the pickled side dishes. The stone pot bibimbap was good especially with the crisp rice at the bottom. I was also disappointed to see that they didn't offer soft tofu soup (soondubu jigae). All the food was great just a little more on the pricey side for what you get. Overall I would definitely come back for a stew craving!

    Kimchi jjigae
    Sharon L.

    We were craving for some good Korean soup so we yelped and found this place in Suwannee. The mackerel was small in portion compared with SGD (tofu soup), but the taste was still good. Kimchi jjigae was very good and i could really taste the added garlic and black peppers. My husband kept stealing some. Husband got the soy paste based rib meat soup and he devoured it before i had a chance to take a pic of it. He said it was good. My kids didn't dig the sullung tang and took most of it home. The reason for the 4 star is because its a lil pricey compared with other near by places(by maybe $1-2). Also the soups were not piping hot like other Korean soup places. My kid has nut allergies and nothing in the soups and the banchan had nuts. He was fine after eating here.

    Beef & octopus hot pot
    Mike C.

    Saturday evening busy on tables, waiting time about 20 minutes. I choose 2 people hot pot with beef and octopus to enjoy surf n turf both flavor meal. Service was friendly, and quickly. It is including small side dishes usually it is typical in Korean restaurant. Also they serve you hot pot soup, cutting octopus legs to easy use chopsticks. on picture it also come with rice. We enjoyed this typical Korean hot pot with cold weather. We discovered this new place on yelp search, so we will be back to eat again. It is a satisfied meal.

    Got the Yukkaejang (spicy beef and leek soup). The soup was savory and spicy, with egg, tender beef, leek, glass noodles, and other vegetables. It also came with a side of rice. Portions were average, but also pricy ($17). I loved the banchans- the bean sprouts, acorn jelly, and japchae were all yummy. A very simple, no frills kind of place. Service can be a little slow. From time of order to food was close to 25 minutes. The banchan also came at the same time as the food, which was not what I was used to. Make sure you leave ample time to come eat~

    Pork bone and potatoes soup
    Sue K.

    There is some parking right by the restaurant, however, it is connected to the hmart plaza, so you can always park there! Staff wore masks and seats are kind of social distanced. They have a mix of stews, soups, and stir fry dishes. You can ask for hot barley tea instead of water. Pork and potato soup: nice and seasoned. Not spicy. You get 3 big pork bones and plenty of meat. Plus 2 giant potato chunks. Perfect for the cold weather. Spicy pork: a nice amount of kick to it, meat is very tender. Ox meat soup (not pictured): light broth that is perfect for kids to eat. Thin slices of meat (but kind of chewy) as well as thin noodles inside the soup. Side dishes: a good variety and they give you a good amount do you aren't asking for more after just 2 bites. But you are of course welcomed to ask for refills of side dishes. The default is white rice, if you want the healthier purple rice be sure to request it. Good spot to go to when you are craving Korean food. Especially because the hmart food court closes pretty early (I think at 7pm).

    Chicken Bulgolgi
    Courtney L.

    Wr happened upon this place by accident. It was reviewed as a very authentic Korean restaurant. That it was! We all went in not having a clue what to eat as we are not familiar with Korean food. For something different we tried it. We had the chicken bulgolgi, spicy beef stew, and stir fried sausage. It all came with sides of different cold vegetables to share. They were all very good. The service was slow and a little stand off. I think language was an issue or maybe because we were the only non Asian individuals in the restaurant. Whatever the case the food was good and I recommend using the call button at your table to gain your servers attention.

The shrimp were delicious and prepared just like I'm used to. This dish is lightly battered fried shrimp with a soy sauce bases sauce with red pepper and black pepper spices. It also features other sautéed veggies like green peppers and onions. The shrimp were spiced nicely, but also had the flavor of black pepper coming through. A lot of places don't get that right. The perfect mix of that spice red pepper heat and hint of black pepper are exactly why I love about this dish. The shrimp were fried perfectly and the veggies deliciously sauted. The Haemul Jjampong was a flavor and spice bomb. The broth was so flavorful and had a great essence of the seafood in it (squid, mussels, abalone). This soup is also for people not afraid of the spice...it was SPICY, but no so much that it was unenjoyable. The spice complemented the flavor and I loved it. The take-home of the leftovers was just as good the next day! If I had to say anything that they might think of changing, would be the addition of kimchi to the banchan. The banchan was ddanmuji (pickled radish, raw white onions, marinated white onion slivers, and soy marinated peanuts). A little plate mat kimchi to wrap around the Jjampong noodles would be perfection.

Otherwise you'll end up in the gas station. First of all, this place is HUGE compared to the other locations. Super clean, new furniture, it's just pleasant to be there. Really generous with the banchan. I love the banchan there, it's 4 different kinds but all of them complement the food you eat. I was on a tear last night. Ordered the teokbokki as an appetizer. Then went with the soondubu ramen combination with beef bulgogi. First of all, the ramen is definitely a big portion, combined with the tofu it's a lot. Medium spicy is good enough unless you like sounding like you're a recovering drug addict. My goodness. I took the ramen noodles out so I could make sure I had broth left. Ate very slowly because the picked radishes were so good and the kimchi cucumbers were also killer. The teokbokki was tasty, but nothing special. Price is good, sharing is fine. But in the future I love the combo idea because you get a small skillet of beef, onions, and peppers. Sweet and savory, paired with the ramen soondubu it's a LOT. We took the rice cakes home. I can't speak any higher about the cleanliness and service here. They all pitch in, and I wonder if they knew I was going to write something because I took so many pics. Either way I believe this is the best place for tofu stew in the OTP area. Support small businesses! I'll be back!

One of the standout things about this place is that they have DonPas. When we first heard of it, we though it would be fun to get. The donkatsu used for it is thin and fried well. The pork wasn't dry at all, and it was able to hold the pasta and its sauce while remaining crunchy though you definitely should eat it before the sauce truly sets in and changes the texture. For the pasta portion, we went with carbonara pasta, and it was good! Creamy and paired pretty well with donkatsu, which normally has a different type of sauce with it.
