It's self-service, so tipping isn't expected. The noodles taste just like what you'd get in Korea. As a Korean, I give this place a 10/10 for authenticity. Watch out tho, as it is spicy and pricey. But the food is worth the price. read more

Sambong Naengmyun - 회냉면&코다리 냉면 - Korean Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

Really great people running this place. Attentive and food is as authentic as it comes. Good service, clean, and always reliable.

I love this place it has good food. The staff is nice and it is very affordable. I will be coming back again.

Their broth flavor definitely changed. On a recent trip the cold noodle broth looked opaque as white 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? read more

I've heard that this is THE spot to go to if you want naengmyun. And I can agree that it's pretty good! I can see why people keep coming back with the free bone broth and the cheap prices. Plus, the food itself is delicious. As always, love that you can customize your own level of mustard and vinegar for the cold noodles. But I do wish the broth was a little icier. It was also kind of hard to separate the noodles, they were all stuck together even after cutting with the scissors. But the flavor was really good. read more

I was craving some naengmyun on a steamy hot summer day. We ordered the cold noodles, mung bean pancake, and pork dumplings. I liked the fast casual, self-serve concept of the restaurant. All of the dishes were tasty and had a unique twist from the traditional preparation that I was used to noodle. To be specific, the broth for the noodles was milky, whereas it has always been clear when I went to other Korean restaurants. Also, the mung bean pancake was prepared with white kimchi instead of traditional kimchi. Despite the good taste, many of the dishes were ruined by the overwhelming sodium content of the food. read more

The noodles are great. They serve free beef broth. Absolutely love it. If you've never had naengmyun before, this is the place to try it for the first time. And if you're already a fan, this will not disappoint. Highly recommend. read more

I finally tried Sambong Naengmyun and it totally lived up to the hype. If you're looking for authentic, Korean noodles this is the place. The dumplings are a must-add side! Just a heads up it is a self-service place (you order and pay at the counter), which is efficient and means no tipping worries. read more

This is a self-service restaurant. When you enter, place your order at the register and you'll receive a buzzer. Once it goes off, pick up your food at the back counter. There, you'll also find complimentary water and hot broth to enjoy while you wait, as well as condiments, utensils, tongs, scissors, and takeout containers if needed. The restaurant specializes in cold noodles, but they also offer a variety of soups and stews. My husband ordered the Original Cold Noodles and really enjoyed them. I had the Short Rib Soup with Radish, which was rich and nourishing, and the short ribs were tender and satisfying. It was exactly what I needed. We also shared the Steamed Pork and Veggie Dumplings, which were perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The food was delicious and we're already looking forward to our next visit! Don't forget to drop your trays off at the return counter once you're finished with your meal! read more

IN THE MOOD FOR COLD NOODS | there was MAD HYPE for Sambong Naengmyun and the hype. Is. REAL! With tip culture becoming as crazy as it has become these days, I do appreciate self-service options like Sambong popping up. Line up at the register and order at the counter - leaving a tip isn't even an option. My favorites include the spicy cold noodles (bibim noodles), the short rib soup (galbitang), and the pork dumplings. If you're feeling like treating yourself, also recommend adding on an LA Galbi combo. Not only are the noodles chewy & bouncy, the galbitang chock full of tender meat, and the pork dumplings perfectly steamed, but I love the unlimited complimentary hot broth you can help yourself to - it's piping hot and meaty - and really warm the soul. Definitely recommend Sambong Naengmyun for your self service cold noodle needs! Head over to the new-ish Confections bakery next door afterward for a sweet treat. AND be sure to check out the second Suwanee location, too! read more

I've been searching for a place that serves good cold noodles, and this place came up! I got a spicy raw fish cold noodles with bbq pork. I didn't like the fish at all, very chewy. The noodles were jammy and hard to mix at first , def get scissors to cut it up. If you leave a google review, you can get a free small drink between a can of pear juice or rice water. You also get free soup (I think it's pork bone broth?) and water. Plenty of seating but I could see how if it's busy hour, you might need to wait. read more

My friends and I came here on a weekday for lunch. Orders are placed at the front and called at the back when done. Tips are not required since it's pretty much entirely self serving including the silverware, dishes, and complimentary ban chan and fish broth. Between a large group, we split a bunch of dishes and walked out satisfied. The Buckwheat wrap had a delicious dip served along side the lightly filled layers. The Cold noodle soup was refreshing and further elevated with a dash of mustard and vinegar. The Spicy cold noodles were hands down my favorite since the noodles were thin, cold, and very well seasoned. The Ox bone soup with radishes was also delicious with a good amount of ox bones in such a smallish bowl. You can never go wrong with Galbitang and Bibim pork. Overall, I had a great experience. Prices were very fair and the taste was perfect. This is a very casual and convenient way to enjoy a meal so I look forward to coming again! read more

Moving from CA, one of best restaurants that we found in GA. The price and the service were amazing. Best of all their Naengmyun (noodle) and galbi (short ribs) were great. Would visit regularly. read more

To start off you order right next to the door before seating. Afterwards you can grab your water, utensils, and anything else at the self serve section. You'll get called whenever your order is ready and pick it up, food comes out quick! The cold noodles are so good. Be sure to cut them with scissors or else they get stuck in your throat. The spiciness is a good balance of flavor and spice, there's a great coating feeling with the sauce that leaves your taste buds in bliss really. The raw pullock is my favorite addition to the cold noodles. It adds a good texture to the noodles. Definitely a certified place to come and check out. read more

#622, 18/2024 This review is based on my first visit. I hadn't had nangmyeun in years so I was looking forward to it. =. Ambiance is busy and efficiently run food stop. On a Saturday lunch time, the DR was filled with native speakers and the line was out the door. Luckily, my friend got there before me and had gotten a table so all I had to do was to order at the host/cashier prior to sitting down. This is not a leisure dining rather a high volume dine and dash vibe. +. Food is nangmyeun, Korean cold noodles which is commonly enjoyed during hot summer months. I ordered spicy bibim-meyun and grilled pork. I wanted beef, but the host said it's sweeter than the pork. My food was ready in about 10 minutes. The grilled pork was still slightly sweet but nicely cooked. The noodles were cold, spicy and perfectly chewy! I added some vinegar to just how I like it :). The cool radish water kimchi was a perfect balance to the spicy nangmyeun. They had self service hot broth that did not taste like bone broth. I would skip this broth next time. Something(s) had lots of msg as I had a cotton mouth afterwards. Even so, I really enjoyed my noodles. +. Service is self service. ++. Price is reasonable +. Parking is shared and limited. There are additional spots in the back. The essence of this restaurant comes through serving working class good quality nangmyeun in a timely fashion. A solid 4* Less msg would make it a 5* read more

Sambong Naengmyun - 5/24 spicy cold noodles & Pork BBQ - Korean Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

This naengmyun place is DA BOMB. We went at an off peak time and luckily didn't have to wait too long. I heard the lines get a bit ridiculous during lunch and dinner hours, which I can totally understand. Both the mul naengmyun and the raw skatefish and prepared to perfection. I think I could have this day after day and not be sick of naengmyun. Props to this location and hope that more of its chain locations pop up in other parts of the country! read more

Its hard to mess up korean cold noodles so I can't give a full 5/5 stars since it was straightforward. got the spicy cold noodles with dumplings. The dumplings was actually really good I actually recommend! This place was pretty packed and had a wait but the flow seemed to go pretty quickly. There're few benches outside for waiting. There's lots of seating inside too! few tables for big parties They have a very small menu so if you're wanting something other than cold noodles you will not get it here read more

Sambong Naengmyun - spicy cold noodle - Korean Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

TL;DR - Authentic Korean food! So good My friend and I got: - bibim naengmyun with pork bbq - hoe naengmyun with galbi Everything was delicious! The portions are big for naengmyun - we finished about two thirds of it and got really full. Pork and galbi were good too but portions were pretty small. They even have hot yuksu (meat broth) you can drink. It was sooo good and comforting! Food court style restaurant - you pay at the counter first before sitting down. They don't ask for tip and make you feel awkward which was nice. I wish we had a restaurant like this in Vegas. Will definitely go back next time I'm in town! read more

Sambong Naengmyun - Hoe naengmyun with la galbi (5/5) - Korean Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

I use to frequent this place. This is a you get served as you come basis. We were promised our food would come in five minutes multiple times and watch people who came in ,after us, get their food, EAT AND LEAVE. After over forty minutes we decided to ask for a refund and leave. The last question they asked us was if we are Chinese or Korean. This is not a place under good conscience I can support anymore. read more

An authentic Korean spot for noodles, LA Galbi & Dumplings. When you first walk in you order what you want to eat, and you get your own utensils and your own drinks with scissors tongs whatever else you might need to along with your food. You are given a buzzer, and when it rings you go up to the back counter to grab your food. I appreciated this fast, self-serve style, so you can grab whatever you need to use yourself. This visit we got the. Bibim Naengmyun & LA Kalbi combo with Dogani Tang. I really enjoyed the cold noodles They were really full of flavor but not too spicy. I know the broth looks red and a little bit intimidating but it's not spicy. The top piece underneath the egg is a slice of pear. For those of you who are not used to traditional Korean food this might throw you off. While the LA Galbi was very well seasoned, I don't think they rinsed off the meat after they cut the Galbi, because there was bone particles when you try to eat it. This is kind of a health hazard for children. Luckily, I was able to pick them out as I ate them. It was just annoying that I was picking bone particles out of my mouth. This was my only complaint for this part of the meal. I really liked the radishes they gave me on the side. The dogani tang was bland, and I think it's supposed to be that way. So you have to season it yourself. In the self serve area where you get tongs and utensils they also have vinegar Korean mustard, salt, and pepper to add. The tendon part of the meat had some weird black specks on them. It kind of looked like hair actually. I think its because the tendon is near the bottom portion of the cow's legs. This just means the meat was not cleaned well. The food itself was tasteful, but I think they really need to learn how to clean their meat properly. I'm not sure if I would come here again because my friend kind of lost her appetite when she saw the tendons. I think they worked on cleaning the meat, this place would be great. They already have the flavor profile. The 2 stars is mainly because of cleanliness. read more

This opened two years ago? And it's been super popular so I've been wanting to try it. Attempted couple of times but the lines were so line I opted for another restaurant. Finally made it on a Tuesday night at 7:20pm. There was still a few people in front of us. Every table was full so we had to wait 5-10min before being able to order and sit down. The staff was nice was cleaned the table right away when it became available. Otherwise this was a self serve restaurant where you order at the front door, take your buzzer to a table and wait. Pick up the food at the counter. There's also condiments, water, and bone broth you can self serve. We ordered the pork dumplings (6), regular cold noodles, and the spicy pollack cold noodles. The dumplings were light in flavor, there were a good amount of vegetables and the skin had a good chew. The sauce was sweet. Overall a good dumpling but not something I would go back for. The regular cold noodles broth was more sour than other versions I've tried and tasted fruity. It was much better after adding the mustard and white vinegar. The spicy one was better. I appreciated the sauce not having super strong gochujang flavor. Overall a fun place to try but not somewhere I'd go back and wait for a table for. The bone broth was very good so maybe the hot soups with it would be better. read more

I had to try Sambong after trying Naju down the street since this is apparently the OG place. Overall the soup and noodles were cold and refreshing, everything was delicious. I feel like the non-spicy soup could use more flavor though even with seasoning and next time I'll probably get the spicy soup, and there is only one small piece of meat. There is vinegar and mustard for seasoning your soup but there's no spicy paste. The free soup is delicious! They had one banchan which is the pickled radish. I really like combo entree so you get a plate of meat as well. This place is SUPER busy, but the turnover is relatively quick since it's self serve and the food comes out quick. It's like a cafeteria, and they also shoo you out a little if they see you've been done and you're slow to leave. If there's a line, they'll take your name and number and ping you when you can go up and order at the kiosk. Parking isn't too bad although this place does get packed because it's so popular. read more

I ate here with my elderly parent this past weekend. My father was embarrassed by the manager. He was asking for and took extra radish kimchi to take home with the leftovers. She confronted him in front of other customer and told him you shouldn't do that aggressively. I was so shocked by how loud and rude she was. We are customers and paid over $70 for the meal and to get berated for taking small portion of kimchi did not sit well with me and unacceptable!

Casual cafeteria-like eatery. You pick up your own utensils & condiments. The lunch hour is fast and furious ~ the staff hustle you in and out like there is no tomorrow, so it not a casual hangout for a lazy lunch.

Came right when they open and there was already a line. You order and pay first then get seated. Once your order is ready they will call your ticket number. They offer cold noodle dishes, but I was not in the mood for it. I got the beef short rib soup which had clear noodles in the soup. Soup broth was decent but needed for flavoring for me. I did add the sauce that was given on my plate. Pretty decent sides, but my kimchi didn't have any cabbage, which was disappointing. They do have complementary soup broth in the front, which was very tasty. The dumplings were stuff and okay, I'm not much of a dumpling person. Once your done with the food, you just bring it to the front counter, pretty much self serving place. read more

Really good cold noodles -- everything from the combos to the sides was delicious. I recommend visiting when in the area.

Obsessed with everything! I found the best Korean Cold Noodles (Naengmyeon) in ATL!! You will feel like you're in South Korea. This is where you wanna go on a hot summer day or this false Fall we're experiencing lol. You order when you walk in and they give you a pager when your order is ready. Phenomenal efficient self service. I come here every time I visit ATL since I've discovered it. I love getting the bibim naengmyeon and LA galbi set! Good to eat alone or share! My favorite is their complementary AYCD hot bone broth to start your appetite and amazing to finish off your meal with. read more
