"A Korean street-food pop-up run by Gavin Lee and Chloe Jung is becoming a permanent restaurant in Tucker this September at the Publix-anchored Hugh Howell Marketplace; the new spot should serve a similar menu to the pop-up, including its popular bulgogi quesadillas, soy garlic Korean fried chicken, so-dduk skewers, and japchae noodles. The South Korean natives had originally planned to open the Clairmont Cafe in a former cafeteria on Century Place just before the pandemic but quickly pivoted to a mobile kitchen, frequently popping up at restaurants along Buford Highway, at Italian restaurant A Mano in the Old Fourth Ward, and at festivals across Atlanta. Jung says this move to brick-and-mortar has been “the biggest blessing” thanks to guest support, and that the Bite of Korea will be the first Korean restaurant in the city of Tucker." - Beth McKibben
