Spring 2nd Branch

Food needs some work. Service great atmosphere great our servers name was Laura very attentive and informative. Manager was walking around checking on people very nice. Dumplings were decent so was the fried chicken. Bibimap and Tteobokki were kind of meh. Didn’t want to bother the staff or really try anything else. I also really made this review to the say the potatoes of the banchan was actually so gross. So so gross. I couldn’t eat much after a taste of that.

We’re big fans of Spring and have been anxiously waiting for the opening! Went in for opening night. As party of 3 at prime dinner time, we waited 40 minutes for a table. We were surprised! We were expecting a longer wait. The wait was 10000000% worth it. The staff were friendly, prompt and ready with suggestions. The food was wonderful. We ate so much and really wish we had room to eat more. The portions are a good size. Everything tasted great. This place really exceeded our expectations Can’t wait to come back

finally the place that we’ve been waiting for its open! went this place 2 times, its really tasty! the wings are dying for! we got Bossam, Dakbokkemtang, Bulgogi Dolsot Bibimbap, brisket tofu stew. friendly servers and staffs and the service are great! we will be back for sure again and again!

Had a great dinner last Sunday at Spring 2nd branch. We tried a few Korean specialties from the menu and had plenty to take home for leftovers the next day. The seafood pancake was certainly my favorite. So pleased they are now open!!!

Highly recommended is the Draft Makgeolli, a flavorful foamy drink with a pleasant aroma and mouthfeel, presented very authentically and pairing perfectly with the entirety of the menu. The various appetizers and small dishes which we ordered all came out very quickly, piping hot and delicious, one after another, served with a dipping sauce of their own. Much appreciated was their portion size and speed of service. But the star for this visit was the Dolsot Bibimbap - the hot stone rice bowl - which came out at the optional temperature for eating immediately, having already crisped up the edges of its rice (as is ideal!) and still served crackling hot, but not so much as to burn you or the rice, as may be your experience in other Korean restaurants. Most impressive was the gochujang based "spicy bibimbap sauce" accompanying the dish. Already perfectly balanced in depth of great flavor, this sauce makes an otherwise unassuming rice bowl into a standout meal of which you will want to savor each bite. Overall, our dinner was a fantastic quality experience with friendly and helpful staff, fast service, cozy atmosphere, incredible food, and at a reasonable price. You will see us again, and often!!

We enjoyed the best meal at Spring 2nd Branch! Had no idea that I was going to love Korean food as much as I do now! And that shaved ice cream is an amazing end to a fabulous meal! Congrats Chef Brian and team! Simply Fabulous!

Finally - a Korean restaurant in the area that gets it right! They have only been open a couple weeks and we have already been three different times! Everything is fresh, authentic, and delicious. The staff are lovely, and the whole vibe is outstanding. A true gem for Marietta. Go hungry, you'll want to try everything.

5 stars all around! We love Spring and have been anxiously awaiting 2nd Branch. Went to the pop up at Spring twice in anticipation! Spring 2nd Branch was great, as we knew it would be. Ordered 4 plates for 2 people and had plenty to take home. We’ll be back next week. Edit: we lasted a day! We went back on Sunday and everything was great again. Naya was very knowledgeable about the menu and super helpful!! This place is a gem!

I'd been hearing great things about Spring 2nd Branch, so my partner and I stopped by on Saturday. The staff was friendly and seated us toward the center of the spacious dining room. The space isn't filled with traditional Korean décor. Instead, it has a humble, modern, almost minimal vibe. We ordered Haemul Pajeon ($17.99) for our appetizer. My main entree was the Jeyuk Bokkeum ($25.99), and my partner chose the Seolleongtang ($18.99). The Jeyuk Bokkeum (spicy stir-fried pork with lettuce wraps) was one of the better versions I've had in Atlanta. The sauce had great flavor (but it wasn't spicy), the pork was tender, and the fresh lettuce came with jalapeño and garlic slices that made each wrap taste delicious! I do wish the pork was coated in a spicier sauce though. The Seolleongtang (a milky ox-bone broth with somyeon noodles and beef) was creamy and comforting, with tender pieces of brisket and shank. The Haemul Pajeon (a seafood and veggie pancake) arrived when we were almost done with our main entrees, which we didn't mind. It was much thicker than other pajeons we've tried and packed with vegetables. The edges had a nice crunch. The dipping sauce was too salty, so we mostly enjoyed the pancake on its own. Overall, we liked Spring 2nd Branch. The prices are on par with the Korean restaurants in Duluth. Even though it's a bit of a drive for us, we'd consider coming back and trying more dishes the next time we're in Marietta.
