It's been over 15 years since my last review here. They've rebranded the signs to TODAM from Cafe…read moreTodahmgol. The inside is small and cozy. Staff are friendly as ever. They were slammed with a holiday party of 12 so the kitchen was backed up. I was offered a free beverage on the house so A+ on service. The menu and website now have English which is an improvement from the last visit. I ordered the beef and seafood spicy soup. There were several other options I was considering so the menu has a lot of variety. The soup has udon style noodles so I wasn't surprised when the giant pot was brought out to the table. The big surprise was lots of clams, mussels, and other shellfish. An added bonus was they threw in a soft shell blue crab too. That explains the giant pot. Portion size is heavy for one person and 2 people could make this a light meal. For $32 it seemed pricey but I wasn't expecting a giant pot with so much in it. It's 3-4 of the bowls you would normally find at a tofu soup place. TODAM is worth checking out if you haven't been in since the rebrand. Service is what makes it stand out.

This is the only restaurant I've found in Georgia that serves Dak Galbi, and it's my favorite! I tried their Sukiyaki, which was very flavorful, and the broth was perfect. Their mini Korean beef and pork BBQ was delicious and convenient for a large party. The O Zoo Nak Sam (spicy stir fry seafood&beef) was packed with heat, tons of seafood, and full of flavor. The service is quick and friendly. The vibes here are laid back and you can pull a privacy screen at most tables. This is one of my favorite late-night spots, and I'll definitely come back again. I'm coming back for you, Dak Galbi

Based on a recommendation from an acquaintance, we decided to have an early dinner at this uniquely…read morethemed restaurant. As its name suggests, this establishment is designed as a gathering spot where people enjoy hearty meals paired with drinks--especially Soju. The ambiance clearly reflects that intention, offering a relaxed, nostalgic space for winding down over food and alcohol. The restaurant is located on the second floor of the building and is easy to spot thanks to its prominent signage. Upon entering, the first impression is striking--the lighting is dim, creating an intimate and moody atmosphere. The layout includes several partitioned areas, offering a sense of privacy even in an open space. The decor, music, and menu all seem carefully curated to appeal to an older crowd, particularly those in their 50s and beyond. One noticeable and charming detail was the abundance of handwritten notes and messages scribbled on the walls by previous customers, reflecting both the personality and demographics of its regulars. Initial greetings and seating service were adequate--nothing exceptional but courteous. However, once our food was served, the attentiveness of the staff noticeably declined. The restaurant uses a call-bell system, and while this is common in some Korean establishments, I personally find it disengaging. The service felt passive rather than proactive, and we had to ring the bell more than once to receive follow-up assistance. For drinks, we ordered SoMak (a mix of Soju and beer) along with classic Korean bar snacks like Buchu Jeon (chive pancake) and 깻잎 (perilla leaves) as 안주 (side dishes for alcohol). We also tried the 천엽부침 (pan-fried beef omasum). While it was interesting, we found the flavor profile a bit too bland. We offered feedback, hoping they might re-season it with salt, pepper, garlic, and sesame oil to bring out more flavor, but they simply brought out dipping sauce instead, which didn't quite address the issue. Overall, both the food and service felt like they were missing that final 2%--a small but meaningful gap between a decent experience and a great one. That said, the unique atmosphere and concept of the restaurant still hold value, especially for casual, drink-centered gatherings. I sincerely hope the management takes constructive feedback seriously and works toward enhancing both the flavor of their dishes and the attentiveness of their service. Despite the shortcomings, I do plan to return for another visit--perhaps with a different group or on a different occasion--to explore more of what the menu has to offer. There's potential here, and with just a bit more effort, this place could really stand out.

Awesome spot for a drink and late dinner! Staff were great, super friendly, and I love the "ring…read morebell for service" model and semi-private tables. Portions for food are gigantic--my husband loved the tteokbokki (I enjoyed a small bite because it is fairly spicy, but the flavor and texture were on point) and we both loved the rolled omelette. The small apps with our soju (salad, macaroni salad, and crunchy wheat snacks) were also all solid. Everything came out quick and hot!

Fantastic new restaurant inside Mega Mart!…read more =. Ambiance is casual, self serve Korean soup and cold noodle resto inside Mega Mart. This is a store inside a store. In the back behind the deli. This is a quick turn place accommodating Mega Mart shoppers. It was busy during a weekend lunch time. ++. Food is Korean soups and cold noodles (냉면). The menu is small but they execute well. We tried their summer kimchi cold noodles and buckwheat water noodles specials for a quick lunch during our big shopping trip. They were both refreshing and delicious! Their portions are average, not the typical oversized Korean portions. They offer a small kimchi and condiment bar on the side that you can help yourself to jalapeño, gochujang and kimchi. + Service is friendly and definitely helps if you speak Korean. This resto is fast food style ordering and pickup... they give you a paging card after you pay. It took about 10 minutes before our food was ready. ++. Price is very reasonable. Each dish was about $10. +. Parking is plenty We found this Moo Bong Ri inside Mega Mart, convenient and tastelicious! Enjoy!

Only food court option in Mega Mart (other than the dumpling stall on the other side) - the place…read moreis always packed so you know it must be good. Surprised no one has written a review yet - it's been around for about two years. They have your usual Korean dishes like Soon Dubu Jigae, Kalbi Tang, Dolsot Bibimbop ... and Korean/Chinese dishes like Jja Jang Myun and Jjam Bong. Portions are perfect for one meal (don't expect leftovers). Reasonable prices ($6.99-9.99). JJAMPPONG - $7.99 It's hard to find good Jjam Ppong in Atlanta - most either no longer have much seafood or their broth doesn't have that distinct smoky flavor. This one is good - tasty broth w/ squid, clams and mussels ... no shrimp. Today's version though was super almost uncomfortably too spicy. My dad loves really spicy food but even he couldn't handle it. I had heard there's some new trendy super spicy hot pepper - maybe they're using this pepper. Also served w/ daikon and raw white onions w/ black bean sauce. KALBI TANG - $7.99 Broth had great flavor. Also 2 big beef bones - the meat tasted good. Also a few radish, egg, green onions and cellophane noodles. Not a huge portion but perfect size for lunch. Came w/ 3 banchan. OJINGEO BOKKEUM - $7.99 Very good flavor. Wish there were more squid - many of the sauteed white onions could be mistaken for squid. Still enjoyed very much. Also served w/ 3 banchan (kimchi was very fresh and tasty). Other dishes tried in the past - DolSot BiBimBop ($7.99 - very good), SamSeon JjaJang ($6.99 - good; supposed to have seafood but ours had just squid; salty but tasty sauce), SunDuBu JjiGae ($7.99 - good; very spicy); and JjamJjaMyeon ($8.99 - 1/2 JjaJangMyeon, 1/2 JjamPpong; very good). Great place to eat before/after grocery shopping at Mega Mart.

Wait, Mega Mart has a food court?? Kinda, and Sura Korean Bistro is one of them. But let me back…read moreup. I was told Mega Mart may have some good lunch options, so when I paid them a visit and wandered around, I stumbled across a dumplings place first, before walking behind the dumpling shop and finding Sura Korean Bistro. Sura has a seating area for meal options and this bistro specializes in both korean and chinese meals. After having the menu explained to me by staff, I decided to try their JEYUK BOKKEUM ($7.99) also know as Spicy pork with steamed rice. Service was quick, staff were friendly, and more importantly, food was good! Admittedly, the food wasn't very spicy, but each bite was packed with flavor. In addition to the slices of pork came carrot, onion, and other veggies, all sprinkled with sesame seeds. Accompanying the main entree were banchan that included sprouts, kimchee, jalapeno, onions, and soup, all of which were flavorful and fresh. Steamed rice rounded out the entire meal. Pork slices were tender, not chewy and again, delicious! Rice went well with the pork and the veggies. For 8 bucks, it's a decent amount of food for a meal. Whether you're shopping around Mega mart, or you're just in the area looking for a snack, you can't go wrong stopping in to Sura Korean Bistro.

It is in a shopping center with tons of parking and it was the brightest shop there as before you walk in you are greeted by a claw machine arcade. Once we played a few rounds we made our way to the restaurant part of the venue. Once we walked in we were surprised by the cleanliness and aesthetic of the whole place. We loved the choices of ramyun for ordering displayed in the decor. You have several options to choose from and can either choose at the counter or self serve. Lots of seating and super bright and clean! I got tonkotsu ramen with some add ons such as scallions, dumplings, Naruto maki, rice cakes and even some mayo as well! My boyfriend got shin ramyun with bulgogi beef boiled egg, scallion, cilantro and sweet corn! Everything was prepared for us quick and we were taught how to use the machines by the amazing server! She was so helpful and very kind when explaining for us to prepare our noodles. The whole process was so fun and we loved it! Once it finished boiling we took our ramen to our table and let it cool off before eating! It's very hot! We paired it with some drinks such as a milkis and a pouched juice and finished with some samanco strawberry ice cream. Everything was delicious as you could customize your options and the ambiance and service blew us away! Pretty good price and very fun experience.

--Location/Parking-- Located in a shopping center with…read moreplenty of parking. The strip mall can be easy to miss, but there is an intersection light where you can turn into if you miss the entrance. --Ambience-- Small, cute, arcade claw machine setup in the front portion of the business and split in half is the restaurant half that serves Korean noodles. --Service/Staff-- Opening weekend the staff were awesome and shoutout to one of the owner which was a tall slender man with glasses, he helped me with the order kiosk, which was funny because he also didn't know how to checkout. The other shoutout goes to the petite asian girl in brown cargo like pants that was super kind and helped with the food selection when I was trying to find the snacks on the wall. --Products/Service-- The claw machines are really fun and interesting to play and get you hooked on trying to grab and grab the different type of plushes. I was instantly hooked on trying to grab so many plushes for my dog to play with. --Capacity-- Tight indoor space around the claw machine. I see why they limited entrance to the first 20 people at a time because it was difficult to navigate and claw machine especially around the front door since there are only two rows of claw machines. With the tight space, they do maximize on getting you around. --Overall-- Recommended for the claw machine. I'll be back to try the Korean noodles. I didn't get a chance to try them because I had trouble with the kiosk, but I don't fault them for this because it was early morning and I wasn't really craving for noodles for breakfast. I can see myself here at night playing the claw machines.

It is a smaller size restaurant and great for drinking and catching up with friends.

Don't sleep on their 만두 dumplings + 녹두전 ( 빈대떡 )savory pancake. Friendly, family service. Note that utensils are in drawer inside table. Just like Seoulleongtang shops in Korea, you will need to season your own soup. Don't complain that it needs more seasoning when you are supposed to self-season to your taste.

We also went on a Thursday night at 8pm and the restaurant was quite empty. Perhaps it was too early or not a weekend. I would definitely try to go back.

I love rose tteokbokki and was excited to see that they had it featured as "new" on the menu.

The wings were decent and our spicy chicken dish was good but very spicy. They also had something going on with their table service that night. On the table there was a button that you press to call your server. Staff kept coming to our table pretty frequently despite us saying we had not pressed the button. Other than that, the staff were nice and it's a good place for drinking with friends.
