I know this place is known for their rice cakes but I'm OBSESSED with their cucumber kimchi. It sells out quick so I try to go early afternoon to buy! Literally the best ever. The Korean lady who works here is super sweet and offers us free rice cakes. They also have an assortment of other side dishes as well. Highly recommend this place for all your ban chan needs! Definitely try the cucumber kimchi! read more

We were given free rice cake samples as soon as we stepped in. The lady who owns this shop is super sweet and helpful. I bought a variety of banchan - spicy seasoned squid, cucumber kimchi, sautéed mushrooms and sautéed fern brake. OMG everything was delicious! My fave are the yummy mushrooms. The rice cakes were also amazing. We had one with red beans. Not too sweet, just right. I regret that because I was on vacation, I couldn't buy more to take home. The owner even threw in a whole rice cake for free! She's the absolute nicest. Support local! read more

I love places like this. They sell kimchi and banchan and alllll sorts of Korean grocery items. I'm so sad I don't live local (plane ride away...) and can't buy these for my actual kitchen use or I'd be making weekly trips for their kimchi. The staff are so kind and offered us multiple fresh rice cake samples. It's sooo chewy and delicious. Highly recommend. read more

15/10 recommend!!!! we loved coming here! we came in just to check it out and the owner behind the counter was so nice to us! she gave us a rice cake just to try and it was delicious. the texture was definitely unbeatable. we ended up getting the seasoned tofu and burdock root. we also got the rice cake with kinako soy bean powder. best rice cakes we have ever had! such delicious texture and fresh ingredients. we are so sad we aren't local because we would come here weekly if we lived nearby. read more

I've heard so much about this place. Finally had a chance to stop by. I LOVE rice cakes, all kinds of rice cakes. They had a few rice cake dessert choices and mostly plain rice cake for sale. The rainbow ones are my favorite so I grabbed that and the powdered ones in the picture. I felt so welcome coming in, the ahjumas spoke Korean to me the entire time lol. She even gave my son and I each a free roll of rice cake, in the pic- warm and ready to eat. Everything tastes like it was made in the back. I love it! Next time I will come back and try their kimchi dishes. read more

"Rice Cake House" isn't so accurate as much as this place has way more than just rice cakes. However, it was this name that drew me in the first place, because I was seeking out rice cakes, without having to fight with all of the savvy ajummas at H-Mart who get there earlier than I can and bogart all the good stuff. Rice cakes are an important part of first birthdays in my culture, and I wanted to be as accurate as I could be with my child's first. Plus, I love rice cakes, and it would be the perfect excuse to get a whole bunch to have. I called them ahead of my visit to make sure I could order what I was looking for, and I had to struggle through my rudimentary Korean to convey my message, but we managed. They were friendly and more than happy to accommodate my needs, and when I explained the needs for a traditional first birthday, they took the reigns without much more explanation needed. This place is located off of (shocker) Buford Highway, closer to the I-285 section of Doraville. They're located in the Pinetree Plaza, on the side strip probably best described as where Chef Liu's used to be and is some hot pot joint now. PN Rice Cake House is further down the strip from them. Be aware that PN is taking the pandemic extremely seriously, and they have a current rule of only one group allowed inside at a time, so if there's anyone inside when you get there, you might have to wait outside. Frankly, I appreciate the extreme caution and I wish more people and businesses did too but that's just a personal opinion. Inside, the business is not large, and it's easy to see why they only want one group in at a time. Aside from the rice cakes, which only takes up like a 1/4 of their retail space, the business is an oasis of traditional Korean banchan (side dishes) and most of all, large varieties and sizes of kimchee. But seeing as how there were people behind me, I didn't want to take too long, so I couldn't really examine prices so much as I could simply marvel at their variety and availability. I simply got my custom order and left, to be courteous to them and those waiting to get in after me. All the same, their rice cakes were fresh, of fantastic quality, and I was more than proud to put them on display for my child's virtual first birthday party. More importantly, they were delicious, and since a one-year old can only eat so much rice cake, I basically stuffed my face with the rest of it over the next few days. I recommend this place to anyone who is jonesing for some rice cakes, or is looking for some traditional Korean banchan, without wanting to fight the crowds at your local H-Mart. The staff is friendly, they take their safety measures seriously, and the quality of their product, as indicative of their rice cakes, lends a lot of confidence that it's probably great. read more

P N Rice Cake House - first birthday party display, complete with rice cakes - Asian Fusion Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Wow, did we sure stock up on Korean side dishes (plus alpha) here! This place is more than just a rice cake house - they have packed this little shop with Korean refrigerated favorites, most if not all made in-house. Noticeably, they had a spectrum of various kimchi types (1/2 gallon napa cabbage kimchi is $9.95), along with 2 standalone cold cases of banchan. They also have dumplings, soondae, steamed buns, and of course, assorted rice cakes - both plain for cooking and ready-to-eat prepared. They also have another wall dedicated to raw pantry ingredients like bulk legumes, grain powders, etc that we didn't shop from, but might of interest to others. As mentioned below me, the owner may hand you a complimentary fresh rice cake (eat it fast, it hardens in an hour or so if not kept warm). Since we have at-risk family members that best stay away from larger Asian grocery stores thus had difficulty purchasing, especially refrigerated, Korean foods - this place is truly a gem for us! I personally also commend this place for being strict with public health practices. Be prepared to wait to enter if there is another party ahead of you. Also be aware they only operate Wed-Sat due to Covid-19. read more

So weird...when I got here, I was expecting this giant display of goodies (as I've read on Yelp); however, it looked like it was almost empty (I almost thought it was closed) with just a few packs of rice cakes out. The person working looked surprised to see me (awkward), but I bought a little pack of injeolmi rice cakes anyway. Those injeolmi rice cakes were definitely ultra fresh and SO SO good. Holy smokes I wished rice cakes would last longer but yummmmm. I'll try going again and seeing if there might be more to select from--maybe I went on a day when they were almost closed? Not sure...but I am definitely going again. Hopefully it won't look as run down this time. read more

We have been shopping here for years. They do not use MSG, which my wife is highly allergic to. The owners are so helpful. They go over and above assisting you. read more

A small tucked away shop, but so lovely! There is such a wide variety of kimchi and various soups and rice cakes (of course) to try. The owner also was super kind and gave me some salted rice cake to try (which was chewy and so yummy)! I would definitely recommend checking it out, much more variety and comforting vibes than a big chain like Hmart!! read more

Friendly staff! She gave me a rice cake to try and a Korean dessert because it was my first time. Kimchi looks so delicious

I'm new to Atlanta with no family here so you can imagine how delightful this place was to me! The owner lady was nice and offered me fresh rice cake samples. I plan to come back after I taste this batch of banchans (bought 5 different kinds)! read more

Such friendly service when I go in. No better sweet rice cakes in the Atlanta area. The overall taste and quality of the rice cakes are better than Sweet Rice in Duluth. The assorted banchan sides are also very well prepared and tasty. From things like homemade kimchi, pickled garlic, sweetened lotus, and more. It's hard to choose! From what I can discern, the shop is run by a family. The lady there is so hard working and such a sweet woman. She teaches me korean and is so welcoming. She always gives me a complimentary rice cake cylinder - ALWAYS fresh and warm. She makes all of the rice cakes, banchan, and they even make their own gochujang. You can tell they truly care about their shop. You can also buy stock ingredients like kabocha squash, gochugaru, dried potato stems, and much more. There are frozen items such as dumplings in the freezer. A must see along Buford highway. read more

I get my kimchi here because it's the best. The large cabbage kimchi is $18.95 and the half size jar of radish kimchi is around $15 or something. It always tastes clean and fresh. Hmart kimchi always ravishes my stomach. PN Rice Cake's never does b/c they don't use MSG. The rice cakes she gives me as gifts are very fresh and tasty. Great rice cakes. I've gotten other side dishes here and they've all been so great. The lady/owner is super friendly and energetic. Plus, you get like .50 cents back per large jar and less for the half jar. read more

Absolutely the best dduk, kimchi, banchan. All home made to the highest quality. And I'm comparing to the best in NYC, LA, DC. The owner is super nice. Absolutely worth the visit. And if do, like us, you'll be back for more, again and again. read more

Believe it or not, this is the spot I come to buy all my kimchi. The stuff at Hmart is crap and the stuff at Whole Foods is a rip off! I first learned about PN House's kimchi from a friend's mother -- so you know it's legit if an older Korean lady said it's good! Staff has always been super friendly and they always give me a complimentary roll of sweet rice cake (they'll take it right off their tray and wrap it in saran wrap for you). And as you might guess, their rice cakes are awesome. Freshly made daily, and available for large catering orders for special occasions or for a snack for the day. This is the best spot for rice cakes near the perimeter and helps you avoid a trip up to Duluth. I've yet to try any of their other banchans (or side dishes), but they have a great variety and I definitely need to try. Oh and one other thing, if you bring back your glass kimchi bottles from your last purchase, they'll take off a small amount and reuse the bottle. Love this! PN Rice is located next door to Chef Liu's on Buford Hwy. read more

korean rice cake just might be my favorite go to dessert, and this place absolutely excels at making just that!! i grabbed a huge hunk of mugwort rice cake that came jam packed with beans, and the texture was so ideal (perfectly chewy and sticky without being overly smooth like mochi). they also had a bunch of banchan that i'll make sure to try when i come back! overall, best rice cake ive had thus far in the atlanta area, and can't wait to come back to try the other types!! read more

Just wanted to say how much we like the kimchi. We asked for fresh Napa cabbage kimchi and we were not disappointed. It's hard to find fresh kimchi in stores and even the regular fermented kimchi available at other places has been so-so or just okay, but the kimchi here is deliciously spicy and garlicky. read more

I really like this place. I bought kimchi and some side dishes. They have traditional Korean food. I can tell all foods are very clean and organic after I tried. Owner seems nice and honest. I am pretty picky for kimchi and side dishes. I am soooo glad to find right place. read more

Small, independent store where the proprietor makes and sells a variety of banchan, kimchi, breads, stews, dumplings, and, you guessed it, rice cakes. She also sells some prepackaged goods such as drinks and flours. I come here pretty much exclusively to buy my kimchi and gochujang (also made in-house) unless I'm in a real bind and have to go to H-Mart. The prices can be steeper than H-Mart, obviously, but I don't mind paying a little extra to support a small business. read more

The rice cakes he's are pretty good. If you go earlier in the day you will get fresher rice cakes. This is my one go to place for Korean rice cake and dessert. They also have various sides called banchan which u eat with rice. read more

Best place to get kimchi, gochujang, banchan & dduk (rice cake). The owner is awesome, as well. If you try this spot & like it, be sure to tell your friends/share the find and help support this local business. :) read more
