Dae Jang Gum is a Korean restaurant located inside the Doraville Super H Mart food court. It's not a full-fledged Korean restaurant by any means, but for what it is (a food court stall), it's pretty good.
Dae Jang Gum has about 30 different items on its menu, featuring an assortment of Korean cuisine. This includes Korean BBQ (bulgogi, galbi), soups and stews (guk/tang, jjigae), noodles (e.g. japchae - sweet potato noodles and guksu - wheat flour noodles), dumplings, and Korean mixed rice (bibimbap). Best of all, most items only cost $10 or less. Several are only $7-8 each. A good value for sure.
Most of the entrees, particularly the soups and stews, come with a few banchan (Korean side dishes). Since this is a small food stall, don't expect 6+ selections of banchan. You'll probably only get a few and they'll most likely consist of kimchi, pickled bean sprouts, and chopped broccoli with spicy red sauce.
So far, my favorite item off the menu is #3, the "Box Combo" ($9.99). The box combo comes with your choice of meat (short ribs, beef, chicken, salmon, etc.) and a variety of sides including white rice, potato salad, fried dumplings with sauce, orange slices, a small bowl of soup, and kimchi. It's all neatly packaged and nicely presented in box-style, each food having its own compartment on your tray (see photo: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/I51ian9AZ2KVnBU4nvxr6A?select=29l51cswNKl_11s5B3DwxQ#L5jlfIWFbLhUZeVVMrKGpA).
The best meat to get with the box combo is the short ribs (galbi). These ribs are heavily marinated in a Korean sweet sauce and served on the bone. Each order is made to order, so the food comes out from the kitchen piping hot and fresh. The meats (in this case, the galbi) are served over a bed of lettuce and are surprisingly good quality. The sides aren't anything special, but are tasty enough, particularly the kimchi and dumplings. At this price point, I'm not complaining.
One item that is overlooked on the menu here is #17, the "Mini Water Dumplings." For $6.99, you can get 20 pieces. This dish comes with a dipping sauce and is great for sharing between 2-4 people.
Service is good. The food doesn't come out lightning quick because everything is prepared to order. The food is brought to the counter when it's ready and is served to you on a tray. Wooden chopsticks and Styrofoam cups for free water are disposable. The rest of the items (plates, bowls, spoons) are not disposable and should be returned the counter after you finish your meal.
If you're looking for tasty Korean food and aren't looking for sit-down service or anything fancy, Dae Jang Gum at the H Mart food court is a quick, easy, and affordable option for an appetizing meal.
