JS KITCHEN

I was in search of good Kimchi and my husband tagged along on my quest. We went to 4 different places that had been recommended and found what is now my favorite cabbage kimchi here at JS Kitchen. The staff was friendly and helpful. They gave me taste tests so I could choose what I liked best. Since it was a little past lunchtime we also ordered 1 bulgogi box to share. There was quite a variety of food and plenty for both of us. I think it's primarily intended for take-out, but they have three bar stools and a counter so we ate there. It was pleasant enough for us especially since we were all about the adventure today!

Catered food for my child's first birthday. I placed the order well in advance and they helped me choose what to order. On the day of, they arrived on time and helped setup and provided utensils. They gave some serving tips as well. Very friendly service and the food was fresh and delicious. We had more than enough and our guests loved it. I was within delivery radius and order minimum so the delivery was free as well.

Yummy bento boxes with very good portion size. Food cooked perfectly and side dishes are very good. Not overly salty and not too spicy, which is what I like. They are a super busy catering service too, so it's not really a dine in place. Better for take out. This place mostly does catering, so they may tell you to wait 30+ minutes if you decide to walk in to order. It's probably best to order online and then pickup.

Stopped by randomly and was really surprised by how good it was. The box was large, beautifully prepared, and had a good variety

Incredible food! I’m impressed by the vibrant flavor and the visual appeal of the box. Each side dish is varied and brings its own color and taste. I enjoyed every single piece!

Great Korean foods for catering with friendly price, If you were the beginner for Korean foods, why don’t you hesitate to try to purchase a few kinds of dishes from this?

Clean and tasty food The downside is that the store closes too early.

Love the food! Great deal for the boxes and super tasty and fresh.

I love JS Kitchen! Whenever we're craving easy Korean meal with variety of side dishes, we order from here. They have different bento box options daily so you can call to check the menu or check out their Instagram. Bento boxes are great for meal planning, quick lunch, team lunch, and events. They also have catering option for bigger events. If you're into specific side dishes, you can also purchase it by weight and they also offer variety of soup options. In short, whatever you're looking for as far as Korean sides, this is the spot. Oh and can't forget the delicious and healthy purple rice! Some of my other favs here are the kimbop, bibimbop, bentos, fried squid, and more! I heard that JS Kitchen will now be available on UberEats and DoorDash for those that needs a quick delivery option as well!

Great food quality, prepared my Togo order quickly. The donkatsu was delicious and crispy, the large variety of side dishes complimented the plate well and were all fresh and good quality.

The staff here alone gets a 10/10 from me and this is a 5 star review site. The ladies here were super kind and helpful that if everyone were like them we'd have a much better world. They're a banchan shop mainly but they also sell bentos which were huge and so filling with an amazing variety. I can't truly speak to the banchan part as I haven't bought any directly from them yet - but I will as they've got so many that it's hard to keep track of where to even begin. They ranged from tempura octopus, to spiced peanuts, to cucumber salad. I repeat - variety. The bento boxes however are amazing. Around $15, they come in different combinations which change daily. If you have any questions the staff is really willing to help with whatever they can. Honestly, they're great. Give this place a try.

This is a banchan (side dish) shop but they have limited lunch bento boxes. They have a different menu everyday. When I saw the bento box, I was so surprised how colorful and by the variety of different food to eat from. It was very filling, but didn't feel overly heavy. There was rice, japchae, portein(pork cutlet), tempura sweet potato, cucumber, kimbap (fried with egg) , potato salad, and, rice cake. Everything tasted fresh and like a home cooked food . The price was reasonable for so much yummy food. The food in the bento boxes changes daily~ The kimchi was sooooo good here!!! This spot was very delightful because it felt like home and the owner/worker were so sweet and attentive. Please note that there is limited seats.

Bonchun ++. Ambiance is is clean, spacious and modern albeit located in the outer shops of the Gwinnett Mall on Satellite. +++. JSK specializes in prepared Korean condiments and limited meals / lunch specials. I tried several condiments to go. They were authentic and exceptional. They have a good variety of bonchun that are not found in restaurants. JSK does NOT use MSG! ++ Traditional kimchi was medium fresh, moderate heat and full of textures. +++ Cucumber kimchi was my favorite! These were sliced thin like pickles rather than chunkier stuffed ones. ++. Squid and scallions were interesting in a good way +++. Purple rice was delicious! It's rare for me to like everything from one place, but JSK nailed it. Unless you have someone who makes traditional Korean Bonchun varieties beyond kimchi and kongnamer, this is as good as it gets. Can't wait to try their lunch specials. +. Price is on the high side. Figure ~ 2X to 4X Hmart $. ++. Service was very pleasant. One of the owners spoke fluent English and while the woman behind the counter spoke limited English, she was friendly and helpful. +. Parking is free and shared. JSK's bonchun are spectacular! Only thing I would suggest is that they stop using styrofoam containers. Other than that JSK is nearly perfect. MY RATINGS - - - Inhumane - - Disgusted - Don't bother = Missed the Mark + Good ++ Better +++EDIBLE...WHERE have you been all my LiFe!

By far one of my favorite takeout spots in Duluth. I can't believe my first visit wasn't until COVID times but also glad because I really appreciated the takeout aspect much more. Banchan, kimbap and bento boxes?! They've got it all. Everytime I'm in Duluth, I make an effort to stop by if it's still early in the day. Make sure to stop by earlier than later to make sure all the fresh banchan or options you want are still available. I love so many of the banchan - it's freshly made and packaged based on how much you want - there are various plastic container sizes to choose from. Since it's just me, I tend to go for the smaller sizes. I love the lotus root and cucumber kimchi the best! However, there are always specials like the japchae that I can't say no to when it's fresh! I love the purple rice they use in the bento boxes! Not only is it super pretty but also healthy and tasty with the meat and banchan. Speaking of bento boxes, the menu changes daily, so I usually walk in and order whatever they have. However, it is quite a wait since the boxes are assembled fresh to order, so I definitely recommend ordering or calling ahead if possible (even though I've never tried either method before). The kimbap is used with the same purple rice and good god it's delicious - and SUPER Insta! I don't want to share because I want it all to myself - but everything is so delicious and affordable that I don't want them to shut down either. They don't seem to have a problem with business, as there is always at least one or two customers in there, even during random hours. Let's be honest... I'm just counting down the days until my next visit!

I really love JS kitchen and used to order lunchboxes from them often, but I'm handicapped and can't drive to them, so without them accepting orders from a delivery service, I cannot get their food. It's truly one of my favorite places, but unfortunately no longer available to me.

I had several events where I had JS Kitchen bento boxes as catering. I've also stopped by for a quick lunch pickup, and I think it beats out pretty much any other Korean lunch boxes I've had, even in restaurants. The food quality and taste is top notch, as would be expected of a Jang Soo Jang affiliate. When I first dropped in for a quick lunch, I noticed that there weren't any ready-to-go bento boxes to view or pick from. The cashier was friendly and explained that the boxes are put together at the time of order so that everything is fresh and hot. It took maybe 10 minutes tops for them to put together 4 bento boxes for us with freshly cooked bulgogi. Food was excellent and totally worth $12 a box.

I was craving Korean food and I'd heard for a long time this place was good for catering, banchan and bento boxes. And they own Jang Su Jang restaurant so you know they've gotta be good! The place is very clean, neat and well-organized. They have a kitchen too for cooking demos. Today's bento options were beef patty and pork bulgogi. I was craving beef bulgogi so I got the beef patty and very glad I did - it had the bulgogi flavor so it completely satisfied by craving, and it had mushrooms & onions in the patty too. Delicious! Their bentos are really a great deal - for $10, I counted 12 different food items ... I love bentos so much b/c of the variety! And the portion is generous so I had enough leftovers for another meal :) Everything in that bento was top quality, tasty and made with love - in addition to the beef patty, I had purple rice (didn't realize how much I missed it), Korean sweet potato tempura, egg/fishcake/onion on a stick, fried mandu, mussel with roe on top, small dollop of potato salad, broccoli, japchae, zucchini, thinly sliced pickled cabbage and soy sauce beef. They cook your food to order so I waited about 10-min. I scanned the banchan incl. kimchi's and soups behind the display case - all looked very good & fresh. They also sell big containers of fresh kimchi too. See Daniel B's review for pricing. I got a container of the Seaweed Soup for $5.99 - nice clean taste and comfort food for this belly :) I'd love to try their Shabu Shabu - so pretty and I think $15.99. I'll definitely be back - food is delicious, fresh and the $10 bentos are a great deal. FYI they're located in the same strip mall as Paris Baguette.

I've been wanting to try JS Kitchen. I never even went to Jang Su Jang but I should now. I always crave Korean banchans and heard JS Kitchen has really good ones. On a late Friday afternoon, I stopped by. I was overwhelm with everything they offered. Just by looking at the banchans, I was intrugued by the bellflower roots. It looked like mushrooms to me or meat. The lady advised me that it was delicious and has a charcoal grill taste. I got the regular and spicy. I got all the banchans in the small package just to try. Others I got were burdock root, cucumber kimchi, napa kimchi, bulgogi veggies, purple rice, japchae, kelp noodles. Most of the items are weighed except for the japchae and purple rice. The small japchae container was $3 and the purple rice was $1. Japchae is one of my fave Korean food, along with kimbap. The japchae is okay. I've had better. I learned how to make my own and mine is delicious lol. The napa kimchi is average. I would like more flavor. Like japchae, I learned to make my own and I like mine more lol. The purple rice isn't sticky and I'm used to the Hmong purple sticky rice. Now, the bulgogi veggie were good and she gave me two sauces. Mixing it with the purple rice was delicous!! The cucumber kimchi was out of this world. So delicious. The burdock root was a little sweet but good and complimented well as a banchan. The kelp noodles was a little sour but tasty. Now...let's get to the star of all of them. It is the bellflower roots. I like both regular and spicy. If I had to choose, it would be the spicy version. I am blown away by it's smokiness. I am so impressed with how tasty it is. It is like a vegan jerky. I've been wanting to find one but nothing has blown my mind like that. OMG, this is it!!! I love it so much. So much that I went by today but they were all out. I was so disappointed haha. I have to come during lunch time to get their bento boxes. They have veggie and vegan options too! I have to come back and get those bellflower roots, like seriously. 50/2021

they were rude, impatient, customer service was horrible=worst experience. I do not recommend.

We usually grab our "groceries" here as well as our catering. Food is very delicious except perilla leaves as they only marinated the top and bottom leaves instead of each leaf in the middle. It's small but you can taste the difference. If you need help speaking to a translator, Steven is your guy as he is very knowledgeable about the food and logistics. We haven't tried the bento boxes but that's next on our menu.

For some of the best take-home banchan in metro Atlanta, in terms of both quality and variety, check out JS KITCHEN by Jang Su Jang in Duluth. This independent, local, family-owned business, which opened in October 2018, is a true gem. It's owned and run by Shelly Lee, the same lady behind Jang Su Jang, one of the area's most successful and beloved Korean traditional restaurants. JS KITCHEN is located just up Satellite Blvd from Jang Su Jang in the same strip as Paris Baguette, on the other side of Pleasant Hill Rd. Their storefront sign is small and discreet. I know it's designed that way, but if they wanted more exposure, they should've made it bigger and more visible so people driving by can see it better. Whereas Jang Su Jang is more of a humble, family-style, dine-in restaurant, JS KITCHEN is more like a boutique deli/market, specializing primarily in scratch-made banchan (Korean side dishes) from Shelly's very own recipes. JS KITCHEN appears to be the fruit of Shelly's labor. Compared to Jang Su Jang, JS KITCHEN is more of a "hobby" for her, where she can let her artistic side shine. The place looks modern and it's definitely more upscale when compared to the mother restaurant. In addition to banchan, the kitchen sells Korean soups/broths, meals, and meal kits to-go (including some dishes from Jang Su Jang), imported dishware and pottery from Korea (all proceeds to charity), and artwork from local Korean refugees. Catering is also a big part of their business. Check out the English catering menu I uploaded. In addition, there's an elegant private room, featuring a demonstration kitchen, where small events like pop-ups and cooking classes are held. An example of a local chef who has conducted an event here is Heirloom Market BBQ's Jiyeon Lee. During my recent visit, there were three display fridges stocked with a bunch of delicious-looking Korean cuisine, mostly banchan. Here are some examples, with pricing, to give you an idea of what they offer: * Whole dried pollack (two varieties, spicy and non, $7) * Bibimbap kits ($6.99) * Short rib stew (2 lbs for $29.99) * Beef bone soup ($6) * Ox knee and ox bone soup ($7.99 each) * Kimchi pork stew ($8.99) * Pumpkin porridge ($6.99) * Various raw meat, marinated and unmarinated * Meat marinade - same recipe used on meats at Jang Su Jang * Whole dried anchovies banchan - 3 kinds: regular, with nuts, spicy ($1.50/oz) * Spicy dried squid ($1/oz) * Green onions and dried squid ($0.80/oz) * Raw skate ($1.25/oz) * Marinated sesame peanuts ($0.85/oz) * Black beans ($0.75/oz) * Salted squid ($1/oz) * Burdook root ($0.80/oz) * Marinated crab ($0.70/oz) * Sliced lotus roots - 3 kinds: regular, beet, yellow ($0.75/each) * Salted oysters ($0.80/oz) * Jangjorim beef (Korean soy-braised beef, $0.75/oz) * Green onion kimchi ($0.40/oz) * Chopped kimchi ($0.30/oz or $15.99 for a "small" container and $21.99 for a 1-gallon container) * Unchopped kimchi ($4 per serving) * Daikon kimchi ($0.30/oz) * Spicy cucumber ($1/oz) * Sliced radish salad ($0.40/oz) * Kelp noodles ($0.67/oz) * Chayote ($0.75/oz) * Seaweed ($0.50/oz) Among JS KITCHEN's popular items are their Korean lunch/bento boxes. These lunch boxes cost $10 (regular) and $15 (large) each and come with a mouthwatering assortment of many of the above-mentioned banchan plus foods like Korean "purple" rice (jakgokbap), meat, and more. We got one regular and one large lunch box. The regular came with pork bulgogi and the large came with LA galbi (Korean BBQ beef short ribs). They were both terrific. I normally prefer galbi, but I thought their pork bulgogi was exceptional. It had perfect texture and flavor and wasn't sauced heavily either. The LA galbi was tasty too. Tender and good savory flavor. We got some yummy rolls (gimbap) too. Gimbap doesn't come standard in the lunch boxes, but they can be added if you request it. Other notable items in the lunch boxes included fishcake, dumplings, egg/omelettes, stuffed mushrooms, stuffed tofu skin, sliced lotus root, broccoli, spicy cucumber, and even mussel with fish roe. The spread in each box was simply wonderful and satisfying. Just take a look at my pictures -- the colorful, neatly-presented boxes sell themselves. Portions are generous too. We also got an order of bossam to-go. It was outstanding. You can get it either here or at Jang Su Jang. A single order is $20.99 and an order for two is $34.99. Like the lunch boxes, the bossam portions were generous. We got succulent boiled pork belly, spicy squid, two kinds of pickled daikon, pickled cabbage, and pickled jalapenos with a bit of spring onion curls. Yum. Additionally, we picked up some banchan - the aforementioned kimchi, both chopped and unchopped versions, along with spicy anchovies. This was top-notch stuff. The unchopped kimchi uses a different, more unique and flavorful recipe. I recommend it. All three banchan were legitimately spicy, especially the anchovies which utilized red and green bird's eye chilis.

I ordered the $20 / person catering service for 30 people over Memorial Day weekend. I wasn't quite sure if my menu selection was good or not - and this became apparent to the owner. She let me know that my menu wasn't balanced and gave me some suggestions to work with, which I happily accepted. In the end, the food was well packed, VERY presentable, and most importantly, freaking delicious. Despite having 32 people attending the party, the amount of food we received was spot on. I'm happy to have had such a seamless catering experience, and especially thankful for the owner's menu recommendations! A+ catering service.

Delicious banchan and boxes! I am from out of town, but if I lived in the Atlanta area I would order a set of boxes for lunches every week. I tried the Pork Katsu and Pork Bulgogi boxes and they were both very tasty. All the banchan was perfect and had such light flavors. Everything tastes so fresh. The staff was very nice and organized.

I love the lunch boxes. It is different every week. Both the beef bulgogi and spicy pork are good. I like the different side dishes (ban chans). The food is so fresh and flavorful.

Went here for lunch. Place was packed with all locals. We had plenty of food and all was enjoyable

Fresh and flavorful! Everything I got in my bento box was so delicious. I waited sometime to get the order so I would recommend calling ahead to pick up if you would like it fast. I had questions on some items as to what they were or was inside the items. They explained everything to me and were very nice. I'm ready to go back now!

Drove 5 hours to get some Korean food. JS kitchen has an authentic Korean taste with grandma like portion, and non-ending side dishes to please the stomach! Excellent service to go with a very reasonable pricing!!

Attempt to order a bento box but was super disappointed when I arrived there. They only have the menu in Korea .....I asked for English version , the lady in the front immediately said no. So I guess they only serve Korean speaking customers. Of course I just walked out immediately.

If you live Jang Su Jang, one of the best, if not the best, Korean restaurants in Atlanta, you will love JS Kitchen. jS kitchen is the fast take out/delivery side of Jang Su Jang, and you can expect the same great food from them as you've come to expect from Jang Su Jang after all these years. We ordered from jS through door dash and it was ordered, confirmed, and delivered within 30 minutes. Granted, we live pretty close to them, but the quick service is still impressive, especially since we have numerous pizza places nearby and they never deliver this fast. We got the bulgogi and the smoked pork and they both came with the healthier "purple" rice and a lot of side dishes, all packed into a dinner box. I couldn't finish mine because it was so much. Definitely will be ordering from here again!

This place mainly sells side dishes that are tasty from the very same restaurant, Jang Su Jang. They have fantastic selection of korean side dishes. They are catering place but they also offer lunch box specials and cooking classes ( have not tried but plan to, been told $75 per person, 5hr class). When I visited the place, I had their bibimbop and bulgogi, and they were very good. FYI: you have to order the rice separately, bibimbop only gets you the toppings :). My lunch was about $8 (lunch special +rice), but it was very good korean food. I strongly recommend this place for some good traditional korean side dishes and their lunch. I left the place with about 5 banchans and had a very enjoyable dinner.

Their lunch boxes are soooo good and such a good deal! They're $10 and you get your meat, rice, and an assortment of sides (although I think I've seen that some of their meats might be an upcharge?). I'm not sure what I got LOL the lady at the counter said it was like hamburger steak but I would compare the consistency to meatloaf-- Either way, it was amazing! It came with purple rice, spicy cucumbers, braised potatoes, spicy tofu with peppers & onions, broccoli, lotus root, potato salad, mung bean pancake, egg omlette, and this cabbage/mayo mixture wrapped in fishcake I believe?? Honestly not confident in my guessing on the last item but it was all delicious! They have different meat options every day and their sides also vary, but I have had the beef & pork bulgogi and their hamburger steak in the past and it's all been amazing! Every now and then one of the sides won't be the jam for me but those moments are rare. Bottom line: you'll find something you like for sure!

Highly recommend this place!! I have never seen a togo order so colorful and looks too delicious to eat. The place really care about their customers and took their time to arrange each item neatly! There were many side dishes to choose from, and it was still hot when i open the meal after a 20min drive. 5 stars!!!!!!

Love this place for lunch! The store itself is very clean. The lunch boxes are awesome and I love how they always do such a great job of pairing all of the lunch box items so that you have a very flavor coordinated meal if that makes sense. I feel like with the sides they choose they always do a great job of pairing flavors so that each items compliments the flavors of the other items. The people are friendly and the prices are very reasonable. One of the better value lunches in the area in my opinion and the food quality is always great. The side dishes are available by weight and they have some really great options. I also love how they have no problem taking the time to thoroughly explain menu items for people like me who aren't very well versed in Korean cuisine without acting uppity about it. I hope they stick around for a long time. I'm going back today!

BEST FOOD!!! BEST SERVICE !!! I always order Korean side dishes here and It has always been best. I had chance to order catering food for family dinner and It was more than I expected. I could not decide what to order and the lady who was working there helped me pick out foods and She was very very nice. If you like Korean food this place is must try place!!

I ordered their preset catering a few time. The food is clean, aesthetically put together, and delicious. I could tell they put a lot of time making each dish.

Went there with my husband. I had the combo - tofu soup with oysters and the galbi. My husband ordered the galbi with purple rice. The food was delicious as always . It wasn't a long wait as we went after 2pm.

their bibimbop sucks dont order. only veggies and no meat and egg. i guess they put a few pieces mushroom instead of meat.

I bought big container of kimchee. I found few pieces of PLASTICS!!! I won't buy anything from this place again.

Great food and price! Only 6.99 for a bento box and $1 extra for rice. Box was very filling and had a wide variety of banchans!

Just happened upon this place. We got a lunch box. It was some of the best bulgolgi I've had.

Food is fresh and delicious! You won't walk out empty handed! I love their decor. Their pickled cucumbers are awesome.
