Zoong Guk Jib

I was recommended this place by my friend. This place have the best Chinese Korean food in town. Their rice flour 탕수육 and their 짜장면 and 짬뽕 was amazing. Highly recommend if ur in Duluth! 😁

Food was great, tasty, big proportion, and met my expectation. Customer service was alright like typical Korean restaurant where you usually don’t get any “service” besides deliver the food to your table.

Ganjajangmyeon was really delicious. On the other hand, I was a little disappointed because the jjambong was a little salty and the yuringi was different from what I expected. Still, it was clean and the staff was very kind. I recommend you to visit.

This Chinese-Korean place gets 5 stars from both a Chinese and a Korean. We ordered the classic jjampong/jajangmyun/tangsuyuk and would recommend all 3. I usually dislike jjampong but this one changed my life. It is packed with seafood and the broth is so rich with umami flavor without being too sour or overwhelming. The jajangmyun was great and the noodles were perfectly cooked and the tangsuyuk was crispy. Anyway I might be a jjampong girl now, but only at this restaurant.

Update: back for the second time. Still great and we are pretty full. Thanks Decent food portions. Tasted good. Our family enjoyed.

Absolutely Delicious and Friendly Service! If you’re craving Korean-Chinese food, this place is a total gem! The jjampong here is hands-down one of the best I’ve ever had—perfectly spicy, packed with fresh seafood, and so comforting. Their chadol jjajangmyeon is on another level; the flavor from the beef paired with that rich black bean sauce is just chef’s kiss. Oh, and the kkanpoong shrimp? Crispy, savory, flavorful, and with just the right kick. You won’t regret it! The staff here are so warm and attentive—they really go out of their way to make you feel welcome. From start to finish, everything was spot-on. Can’t wait to come back!

Korean-Chinese cuisine offers a distinct flavor profile that sets it apart from traditional Chinese food. This cuisine has evolved through the adaptation of traditional Chinese recipes with Korean ingredients and techniques, resulting in a unique culinary experience that may appeal to those looking for something different from standard Chinese restaurants. I have visited several times and plan to return. I hope their quality of service remains consistent with my previous experiences. This review is based solely on my own experience and was not influenced by any financial compensation.

The original jajangmyeon is yummy and perfect to share but if you don’t want to share then it’s was good the next day as well like I had to do. Also had the sweet and sour pork ❤️ all great combo with the noodle!

My friends came here to celebrate another milestone through our graduate program. Half of them had already gotten a private table in a secluded room being a party of 6. Perfect if you're looking to celebrate more intimately with your group. We got their Go chu jap chae, Cream shrimp, Jjambbong, Tangsuyuk, and Seafood jaengban. It was my first time having Go chu jap chae but I really enjoyed all the bell peppers and onions with thin cuts of beef. The fluffy rolls were just a plus. Cream shrimp were also fluffy but my favorite dishes were definitely the Jjambbong and Seafood jaengban. It was difficult to say which one I liked better because they were both delicious in their own ways! The Tangsuyuk was also crispy with the sweet and sour dipping sauce on the side. Overall, my friends and I had a great time. The food was fantastic, the portions were hefty, and the prices were justified. Staff were attentive and efficient so I can't wait to come again. Come check them out, you won't regret it!

Second time coming here and never been disappointed. Fast service, quality food and big portions. Had the Jjam Jja Myon, $17.97, but the portion is huge. Can taste both black bean sauce noodle and spicy seafood noodle. Taste very authentic and can't go wrong with this dish.

Came to try the jjm but it was not mind blowing. As I prefer mine a bit saucier and this was a bit dry and had a lot of rawer onions. However, it is good price if you just get the regular base one. What did impress me however, is the specialty dish we ordered. The chicken tasted almost Vietnamese with a lot of citrus and fish sauce flavors. It was very refreshing and something I've never had before. They do get busy so expect a full restaurant during weekend lunch time. I do like the round family style tables they have available. There's also a side room so the restaurant has decent amount of seating. Our server was nice and kind.

Ohhhh man this place is good quality food, great quantity, for a relatively low price! Def recommend if you are craving some good jjajangmyun that's not hard on your wallet. The place itself is pretty big, lots of seating. I came in with a couple friends on a Saturday evening and it was packed. The service was good and food came out fast.

Looked forward to checking out Zoong Guk Jib after reading the raving reviews. My fam grabbed lunch on a Saturday afternoon and the restaurant was bustling. The restaurant is larger than I expected from its exterior. Casual dining area with tons of food items on the menu. We ordered: Shrimp fried rice ($13.95), Jjajangmyun ($7.95) and a seafood noodle dish. I was pretty disappointed with my jjajangmyun and felt it could use more seasoning. Actually, everything we tried was rather bland - and this is coming from someone who enjoys food on the blander side. The portions are good, everything on the menu is reasonably priced. The service was good. No complaints or issues. Overall, Zoong Guk Jib was just OK for me. I wouldn't recommend it, but wouldn't be against giving it another try some time.

I was in Atlanta for a business trip and was staying near a co-worker in Duluth who took us here. Coming from the Bay Area, Korean food for me is Korean BBQ and Korean Hotdogs. Going to an actual dine in Korean Restaurant was a whole new experience. Lots of parking outside, the restaurant was clean, the staff were very attentive. My coworker ordered their popular dishes that we are trying for the first time: Jjajang myun (black bean noodle), jjam bbong (spicy seafood noodle), and Tang soo yook - sweet and sour pork dish. They also had Chinese dishes so we added Mongolian Beef that we all know. Service was fast and food was served hot. Everything was delicious, I like that the sweet and sour sauce was separate rather drenched that we could just dip the fried pork in it. The Black Bean Noodle and Spicy Seafood noodle were very tasty. You can request the spicy/hot level to your preference, or request for non spicy. Huge servings, we even had leftovers to take home. I will definitely come back to try other dishes. Highly recommend Zoong Guk Jib if ever in the Duluth area. They sure made a lasting impression that I will be looking for these items in Korean Restaurants here in the Bay Area. :)

Food is ok but not that good Service is good Ambiance quiet and clean Little above average Korean Chinese place

There is a new location in ASSI plaza that is really cozy but delicious. Fast and helpful service, and the flavor of the seafood ja jiangmyun and palbochae was terrific! Support small businesses!

Came here to have my sister's birthday dinner. Walking in, it seemed like it would be a good choice as it was busy. We ordered Bu Sut Ya Chae Tofu, Chopssal Tang Soo Yuk, Mongolian Beef, and Haemul Jaengban Jjajang Myun. I would say the food was ok. Nothing was spectacular, which was disappointing. Duluth has so many asian restaurants, so unsure what is keeping this place in business. Not really much else to say. Most likely will not return.

Heard that the jjajang myun was really good here, and it did not disappoint. For only $8, it was a generous portion. The noodles were nice and bouncy. We also ordered the pork and shrimp sweet and sour dishes, and that was plenty to share amongst 4 people. They were fried perfectly. The interior is nice and the staff is very friendly. Would definitely recommend this place if you're craving Korean-Chinese cuisine!

Overall, clean and spacious restaurant with good service. Only thing that could he improved is the food, but it definitely wasn't bad at all. I got the jjm and the mapo tofu and both were pretty solid, but probably not my first choice restaurant for either of them. Definitely a family style place -- most of the portions are quite large. Would like to come back and try the sweet and sour pork though

Zoong Guk Jib is the best Korean-Chinese restaurant in Georgia. This place is about as "authentic" and legit as it gets in the States. That's all you need to know. If you want details, keep reading. Zoong Guk Jib or "jung-gug jib" is Korean for "Chinese home." The business opened in January 2022. It's located in the Duluth Village shopping center (Pho 24, Harue Korean Chicken, Rothem Cafe, White Windmill) on Peachtree Industrial Blvd, south of Pleasant Hill Rd. It replaced Korean homestyle restaurant Seoul Shin Jung (which I rated four stars back in 2017): https://bit.ly/3veSv0l This place is popular, especially among the local Korean community. Try calling and making a reservation. We were able to get a reservation for our party of nine on a Sunday at 6:30pm. When we arrived, the restaurant's two dining rooms were completely full. We heard that waiting for a table here is common. Good luck on the weekends. This is one of those Korean businesses in Duluth that's owned and operated by Koreans for Koreans. Case in point, specials on the blackboard menu, just inside the entrance, were written in Korean only. Don't let that stop you though. The regular menu wasn't great when it came to English translations, but there were helpful pictures and the servers (at least, the ones we interacted with) were nice and accommodating. Plus, you can research what to order on Yelp beforehand. Below is a list of what we ordered, using the restaurant's English descriptions. I'll try to elaborate more on each. This list should give you a good idea of what this place has to offer and how much everything generally costs. I've been to my fair share of Korean-Chinese restaurants on/around Buford Highway and in Gwinnett County over the years and I don't remember any coming as close to Zoong Guk Jib in terms of variety. For example, they offer six different kinds of jajangmyeon and seven varieties of jjamppong (spicy noodle soup). Pretty much all the Korean-Chinese staples are on the menu and we got most of them. Noodle * Jjajang Myun x2 ($7.95 each) - noodles with black bean sauce, pork, and vegetables * Hae Mul Szechuan Style Jjajang Myun ($26.95) - noodles with black bean sauce in Szechuan style with seafood, pork, and vegetables Pork * Chopssal Tang Soo Yuk x2 ($21.95 each) - fried pork with sweet rice flour with sweet and sour sauce * Mapo Tofu ($20.95) - stir-fried tofu, minced pork, vegetables in chili bean sauce. Chicken * Kan Poong Ki ($22.95) - fried chicken in sweet and sour garlic sauce with spicy peppers and vegetables Shrimp * Creme Sae Woo ($28.95) - fried shrimp in creamy lemon sauce Special Dishes * Palbochae ($32.95) - stir-fried seafood and vegetables in spicy oyster sauce * Yan Jang Pi ($33.95) - stir-fried starch sheets with beef, vegetables, and cold seafood and vegetables Side Dishes * Small White Rice x5 ($1.95 each) Everything was fresh, outstanding, and well executed with generous portion sizes. I think Zoong Guk Jib has the best Jjajang Myun in metro Atlanta. It's the best among those I've had in recent memory. The restaurant gets everything right, from the noodle texture to the balance and flavor of the jajang (fried black gravy) that covers the noodles. This was my first time trying Hae Mul Szechuan Style Jjajang Myun. It was something else. The best way for me to describe it is it's "Jjajang Myun Paella," complete with jumbo shrimp, shell-on mussels, octopus, and squid plus pork and greens. The Chopssal Tang Soo Yuk (fried pork) and Kan Poong Ki (fried chicken) were excellent. Both are served with sweet and sour sauce, but the sauces are different. The Chopssal Tang Soo Yuk sauce came with onion, carrot, red cabbage, and cucumber. The sauce was served on the side. For one dish, we poured the sauce on top. For the other, we dipped the pieces of pork into the sauce. It was yummy both ways. I really enjoyed the rice flour batter which had a softer, more delicate consistency. The Kan Poong Ki is similar to American Chinese food, e.g., fried chicken with sugary sauces, but better. I recommend the Palbochae, Yan Jang Pi, and Mapo Tofu. These dishes were filling, satisfying, and packed with flavor. You need to order them with rice. Unlike a typical Chinese restaurant, rice must be ordered separately here. The Palbochae and Yan Jang Pi amount to large stir-fries of meat and/or seafood with veggies and tasty sauces. Add squeeze-bottled spicy mustard to the Yan Jang Pi. The mustard elevates the dish to another level. The Mapo Tofu here is some of the best around. Complimentary kimchi and pickled takuan (danmuji -- yellow daikon radish) was served with our meal. Crisp and delicious. Service was great. Despite a busy dinnertime service, our entire order came out fast. The staff was friendly. And they provided plenty of scissors for us to cut the noodles. Closed Tuesdays. Shout-out to my friend and fellow Yelper Jinsoon Y for introducing me to some of the awesome dishes here: https://bit.ly/3S04Oqp

Generous portion. Fair price (due to the amount of food given). Good noodle texture. Hits the spots for the cravings.

This Chinese-Korean place gets 5 stars from both a Chinese and a Korean. We ordered the classic jjampong/jajangmyun/tangsuyuk and would recommend all 3. I usually dislike jjampong but this one changed my life. It is packed with seafood and the broth is so rich with umami flavor without being too sour or overwhelming. The jajangmyun was great and the noodles were perfectly cooked and the tangsuyuk was crispy. Anyway I might be a jjampong girl now, but only at this restaurant.

I've been here too many times to count and it's hands down the best Korean Chinese restaurant in Atlanta. The serving size is generous, especially their jjamppong. The jjajangmyeon is good as well but the sauce is a bit bland so I prefer the Gan jjajang-- it's definitely worth the $4 difference. Their tangsuyuk is amazing as well--perfectly crispy and chewy!

The restaurant name makes me laugh - as Jang C said in his review, it literally means "Chinese Restaurant" in Korean. The standout dish is their sweet & sour pork b/c it's made with sweet rice flour. The other popular dishes - Jja Jang Myun and Jjambbong which are pretty good but I might say I've had better. Space is nice, and the service is very friendly. They offer complimentary hot barley tea. COMPLIMENTARY BANCHAN Typical of Korean Chinese restaurants, banchan was just kimchi & daikon. JJAM JJA MYUN - $14.95 I always like to get this dish so I can check out both the Jja Jang Myun and Jjambbong - you can half of each. Their noodles are orange, had a nice chew, and good. I thought the Jja Jang sauce was salty and tasted just ok. The Jjambbong broth had a very good flavor - contents included 1 shelled shrimp, 3-4 mussels, maybe 1-2 squid, lots of onions, and a few bok choy. Portion was good. CHOPSSAL TANG SOO YUK - $22.95 Pricey dish but you do get a heaping pile of fried pork, and the sweet & sour sauce is served warm and separately for dipping. As I mentioned earlier, what makes this dish special is they use sweet rice flour which gives it a new chew. Highly recommend ordering this dish. Next time I'd like to try their other dishes - and definitely order the Chopssal Tang Soo Yuk again :)

It was delicious noodle and pork I will go there again Noodle was really good soup was very hot

We tried the tangsuyuk, jjammpong, jjajangmyeon for lunch here! It was my first time. My mom said that she wanted to take me here and she said she loved all the food here. The service was great! And the food was amazing. I really enjoyed the tangsuyuk the best it is one of my favorite dishes. It had this chewy crunchy texture on the outside it reminded me of the Korean rice cake texture. The jjammpong was spicy and had such a delicious seafood broth. The jjajangmyeon was good the sauce jjajang was flavorful I should have added more spice to it! I definitely want to come back and try the other things in the menu. Everything looked so good. Overall, the service was on point and it was a very clean restaurant. The food also came out perfect timing. We will definitely be back again try more foods.

If you are looking for Korean Chinese this is your place. It took me back to Korea! I have been in search of Kan Poong Ki (sweet and spicy chicken) that I haven't had since leaving Korea! It was tear inducing how good it was! Perfect balance of sweet and spice. We also ordered the JJan Jja Myun (half Jjajang Myun and JJampppng). The Jjajang Myun was delicious and the noodles were cooked perfectly ( our 1 year old loved this dish!) The JJamppong is a spicy seafood soup with noodles. It was also so delicious ( this dish is one of my husband's favorites). It is served with bonchon (pickled daikon and kimchi). The service was top notch they checked in on us frequently and were playful with our little guy. The inside was clean and bright. I cannot wait to go back next time we are in Duluth!

Came on a weekend and it was pretty busy. We had to wait for a table to open up with multiple groups in front of us - but the staff definitely did their best to make sure they were efficient. The inside is pretty open, with lots of tables and TV's throughout the restaurant playing Korean variety/cooking style shows that I usually watch on Youtube anyways haha. You get the option of hot tea or water. My grandparents and I came here with the intention of trying their black bean noodles and sweet & sour pork (mainly bc I was the one craving it lol) but so many tables were also ordering the jjamppong - so that just means I have to come back to try that. Chopsal tang soo yuk ($21.95): fried pork with sweet rice flour in sweet and sour sauce. This was the same price as their original tang soo yuk (which is not coated in the sweet rice flour but regular flour) so we opted for this one because It was different. The great thing was that when I asked for the sauce to come on the side (pro move so it the fried pieces don't get soggy), the waitress said they serve all their tang soo yuk like that. Definitely received some points for that. The portion was pretty big, we split between 3 people and struggled to finish (granted we had our own entrees too). The meat was nicely battered, hint of sweetness from the flour and the sauce was great. I loved this and will def try the original version too. Gan Jjajang myun ($11.95): noodle with freshly stir fried black bean sauce with pork and veggies. I still think that the best JJM is from Golden Buddha but this was pretty good. The noodles were chewy and the sauce was thick. Did it blow my mind? No, but it was good. Can't wait to try other menu items!

Be prepared to wait since this place seems always busy (mostly Korean patrons). The food is good and homey but I'm not sure it'd be worth a super long wait imo. Fried mandu/ dumplings were my favorite! They were crunchy and crispy. Spicy jjajang myun- mildly spicy with jalepenos. It comes separated so you can mix it yourself. Would let it sit a little while for the sauce to really permeate the noodles. I probably prefer the one at J Bistro more but this was solid. We meant to order Chopssal Tang Soo Yuk (the mochi/ sweet rice flour fried pork) but accidentally got the regular Tang Soo Yuk instead. It's a decent helping but didn't taste like anything special. They keep the sauce separated so that does keep the pork nice and crunchy. We'll have to come back for the mochi flour one.

Pretty good! It was a very solid, standard Korean-Chinese food place. The 짜장면 was well flavored and the texture was good. My favorite part was the orange noodles, which I've never seen that color before. The 탕수육 texture was good and the sauce was also flavored well. Very solid, not much else to say. The only reason it's not a 5 star was because I personally felt the flavor wasn't anything super unique. The service was super nice though, all the ladies were so kind and checked up on us often. Inside felt very korean and clean. Definitely see myself going back.

This is a Korean restaurant (in Duluth) that specializes in Chinese-inspired Korean foods...and I can't believe I didn't discover this place any earlier! The place is fairly basic, quite casual and comfy...and though it seems to cater to mostly older Koreans (non tweens and twenty-somethings), the overhead music was this hip hop Korean. Quite surprising? Anyway, I ordered my favorite Korean comfort food Triage - Jjajangmyun Jjampong and Tangsuyuk, and luckily, they all met my expectations. In short, authentic and delicious!! Portions were quite big (I had to doggy bag half of it), and the pricing was very friendly. I can't wait to return and try more items on their menu...if not to repeat what I had again?? BTW, they had maybe 4-5 different types of Jjajangmyun! OMG...this is THE place! Truly, the foods were SO good!! Also, the service was stellar...and I don't say that much when it comes to old-school Korean restaurants like this. Let's face it...the service in most traditional, "authentic" Korean (and Chinese) restaurants is usually fast, but not exactly friendly, attentive or courteous. Sometimes I even feel that service borders on crude lol. Not the case with the more modern/contemporary, or Asian fusion restaurants...service is usually VERY good, as in fast, friendly, courteous and attentive! Well, the point is, this seemed to be an old-school Korean restaurant, run by seemingly older ladies...yet the service was unexpectedly good. Overall, I loved this restaurant! Again, the place isn't beautiful or anything, but the foods and the service made up for it and then some. Definitely deserves 5 stars.

Food - Hot and delicious! Service - very attentive! Ambiance - Okay. Good furniture and wall art, BUT overhead fluorescent lighting.

Fast service, great food. Love this Korean Chinese food! We got there 10 min bf closing but they still let us have our dinner!

The name of this restaurant literally means ,"Chinese Restaurant." Despite the silliness/irony of the restaurant, there is nothing ironic about the food and service which explains why it is always packed even right when it opens. FOOD: top go to items: JjaJangMyeon (black bean noodles) + ChapSal TangSuYeok (crunchy rice Mochi powered pork with honey sauce). ONLY DOWNSIDE IS THAT RICE DOES NOT COME WITH THESE DISHES.

Total: 92/100 Food: 13/15 짜장면 JJAJANGMYUN $7.95 3/5 - Noodle with black bean sauce, contains pork and vegetables. It was good but the noodles are on the thicker side than usual jjajangmyun people may be familiar with. The flavor wasn't to die for, but the price is amazing! You can't find dishes for $7.95 anywhere anymore! 찹쌀탕수육 CHOPSSAL TANG SOO YUK $21.95 5/5 - This location is KNOWN for this dish. Its not common for Korean-Chinese places to use sweet rice flour for the batter. 찍먹 or 부먹? You can choose two different ways to eat this dish. You can pour the sauce over or dip each fried pork pieces into the sweet and sour sauce. I prefer to dip, that way it remains crispy throughout the meal 해물짬뽕 HAE MUL JJAMBBONG $12.95 5/5 - Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup. I was honestly shocked at the CRAZY amount of seafood in this dish. I think this location has the most seafood toppings in this dish than any other Korean-Chinese restaurants. And the soup was very flavorful because of all the seafood goes into this dish. Strongly recommend it if you like something spicy! Service: 5/5 We were greeted immediately upon entering. Orders were taken promptly and they checked in on us to ask if we needed anything. It was very nice of the employee to quickly notice how we needed more napkins and brought more without us asking. The tables have buttons to press for employees attention if anything else is needed. Waiting time: 5/5 We visited at 1:30 on Wednesday for lunch. Restaurant was 70% full, and we were seated promptly, the food only took about 15 minutes after ordering.

Kinda went down the hill for some time, wouldn't call it a "Best in GA". Portions are getting smaller with not enough key ingredients, but the price keeps rising. Everything is floured-up for volumes. Had to call them to complain & explain about a meaty dish (gochu japchae) with five small juliennes of beef where we had to mine them out from the piles of veggies; they wouldn't believe me, so had to drive back another 30 mins to make a point. Shows the real trust between the business and its clientele. Noodle dishes lack the potency you would expect from Kor-Chin. Hasn't been my go-to place dine-in or take-out for a while and unfortunately, will probably stay so, unless the owners change their mindset of milking its loyal baselines (as so much talked among the Korean communities in the area).

I'm going to let ya'll in on a secret.... The place is the bomb!!! Seriously! I repeat. Do not sleep on this place. The best Jjambong and jjahjjangmyun in ATL is made here. It's the best noodles ever too!! Yellowy sunshine noodles is what I like to call it. They also have a couple of different jjambong and jjajjangmyun options. I've tried both by regular jjahjjangmyun and kahnjjahjjangmyun. The jjambong soup broth is soooooo good for the soul. I appreciate how much of the filling (veggies and seafood are in the jambong. Usually one one shrimp comes in the jjambong but that's alright with me as the soup has a nice flavor from all the seafood. Cant't decide between a bowl of jjajjangmyun or jjambong? Get the half jjajjangmyun and half jjambong option. Some other fan favorites are the chapsahl tahnsooyuk (sweet & sour pork) and the mapatofu. I mean damn... both are solid. The mapatofu is packed with rich flavor and a good portion. The fried and texture on the tahnsooyuk is so so good and the sauce that you can dip your pork in or pour over the pork is the perfect balance of sweet and love how it tastes fresh with veggies. Can a sauce like that be fresh? I say yes! I wasn't really feeling the kkangpoongi but I'm super picky with my kkangpoongi. Their sauce on the chicken was a little too sweet for me. The staff/owners are so nice too. Prompt takeout service and dine in service is good too. They also give complimentary kimchi and yellow daikon with jjahjjangmyun and jjambong takeout order. The kimchi s pretty tasty. The gentleman working there was always great about refilling our waters. They also have hot/warm Korean barley tea too. I can't wait to come back and try some of their other dishes/soups. Love how they have some lunch specials/combos too! Trust me. This place is legit. Do not walk here. Run.

You find what you're looking for and I've been trying to find decent Korean Chinese places that serves great jajangmyun/tangshooyook and it's been hit or miss in the area (granted it's only in this area that there is good Korean Chinese joints because ITP is bare bones dry when it comes to such places, and if you go south down to Fayetteville or Peachtree City etc, zilch so it's only in the Gwinnett Duluth area will you find these places) But I definitely found this place that's in the plaza by the White Windmill, Pho 24 off PIB. It's tucked in the back right corner as you enter the plaza. It's definitely the quintessential Chinese decor but the servers are Korean and the menu reflects that Korean Chinese flare of jaajangmyun, jjamppong, fried beef, pork, chicken etc. All the classics that for those who know... know!!! If you don't know... go and find out!!!! So to get a good handle on good Korean Chinese fare, Jjajjangmyun/Tangshooyook is the combination to go for. It's literally the basic combo to order in Korea. The jjajjangmyun isn't too shabby. The noodles are perfectly al dente. The sauce. It was a bit too much of a paste and less sauce as mixing the noodles with the black bean sauce proved difficult and the sauce didn't coat the noodles as well as I would have liked. It was flavorful. I do wish they had more palletable bits of minced pork since each bit was a peppering of pork which seemed over cooked. The potato chunks were a fantastic touch in changing the texture of the dish. The potatoes were soft and flavorful as it absorbed the black bean sauce nicely. The tangshooyook was fantastic. The sweet and sour sauce was separate which made it so much more enjoyable. The deep friend pork meat was the highlight. You could taste the meat, there was a fantastic balance of the batter with the meat. The crunch was preserved, the meat was cooked perfectly, and the most impressive part was the batch I got, each pork morsel was not soggy at all! Each strip of pork was cooked nicely. The sauce wasn't your traditional sweet and sour sauce as they had some veggies in the sauce and no pineapple which I liked the most regarding the sauce!!! What I also liked is that for a Korean Chinese joint, they actually served the pickled radish (a staple), no onion was was a bit of a letdown, and kimchee! You can't be a Korean joint and not have kimchee and they provided it considering you're eating fried meat and fried up sauce so the acid in the kimchee cuts through making you able to eat more without fatiguing your palette so that is something to consider heavily when coming to this place! All in all, the price of this combination was a bit expensive. $22 for the sweet and sour pork and $8 for the noodles making lunch coming out to about $35 for this with tax and tip. It's best to come with multiple people to split the cost (inflation sucks!) Definitely consider coming to this place if you're looking for a decent Korean Chinese restaurant!

We were craving jjajang myun and jjambbong so this place was perfect. We also ordered tang soo yuk and it was really good as well. Not oily and perfectly crispy. Sauce was flavorful. We didn't have to wait when we walked in and was seated immediately. Would definitely come back again next time!

Favorite Korean Chinese restaurant. 찹쌀 탕수육 is the best hands down. 짜장면 is always solid

Checked out this new spot after seeing it pop up on social media and seeing great reviews. It is replacing Seoul Shin Jung. When I went today the old sign was still up but they had their flyers on the door. FOOD: Jjam Jja Myun ($14.95) - Jja Jang Myun and JJambbong so you get the best of both worlds. Jja Jang Myun was very savory and more on the liquidy side. The JJambbong had plentiful seafood and veggies and was not too salty or spicy. Noodles are chewy, in the good way, so they have a nice bite to it. Fire Jjajang Myun ($11.95) - Jjajang Myun had a very stir-fried fire smell and taste to it. The spiciness came solely from the peppers. Personally, I thought it had a nice kick to it and it was still very flavorful. I wish they gave a bit more portion of noodles though since the onions and ground pork weren't lacking. Chopssal Tang Soo Yuk ($21.95) - Been looking forward to a place that finally sells this dish and I must say it was pretty satisfying. This dish is basically like the regular one except the batter is made with sweet rice flour which is more mochi-like. When chewing into it, the texture and feeling was very similar to biting into a marshmallow. The only thing I would say is that the sauce included cucumbers which really overpowered the entire taste. SERVICE: They were very quick and super friendly. There's a bell at each table if you need a server and napkins were hung on partitions between tables on the sides. Overall, I would definitely come again, but maybe only for the lunch specials which seem to be more worth it for the price point.

Brand new Korean/Chinese restaurant is the best ever. I actually met the chef before he opened the restaurant, he told me his specialty is Jjambong, which happens to be my favorite food of all time. Spicy, seafood noodle soup. I've had almost every Jjambong in the Duluth area, and while they are almost all delicious, none really stood out significantly. Man Chun Hong was my favorite until this point. Not only is there regular Jjambong, they have spicier Jjambong, and Bool Jjambong which is super duper spicy. I had the spicier one but I think the regular is the way to go. I've also tried the Chadol Jjambong, which has beef as well as seafood, and IMHO this was the best one. I think I will alternate regular and beef each time I go. We also tried their course menu - for 4 to 5 people. Everything that came out was delicious and spectacular. We also catered an event here with multiple dishes. Seriously, this is the place to go. The only downside is, I don't think I can eat Korean/Chinese at any other restaurant. This is the place to go!

Food and service = 5/5 Atlantas best Korean style Chinese restaurant! Highly recommend!!

I came here with a group of 10 people. We asked kindly if there was a round table so it wouldn't be a hassle to pass around the food. The last time I visited, the quantity of the food was a good amount. Something about the waitress' attitude was off. After asking about the round table, the waitress had a sour/bitter attitude towards our group. She was really friendly and gave great customer service to a different group who were seated behind us. She gave them smiles and everything. Not sure why she gave my group a mean streak. I lost my appetite because of her mean attitude. She didn't even try to accommodate us. She should've made an effort to try and fit 10 people to the round table. It's not only that, like I mentioned the quantity of the $200 combo had really gone down hill!!! The business only cares about money (really seems that way). The food wasn't even that good. The quantity for the combo wasn't enough to feed 10 people. This place is a rip-off. $200 for a measly meal isn't enough for 10 people. She should've given us two separate dishes because we had such a large group. Our waitress didn't even tell us if the combo was going to be enough. There wasn't an indication on the menu of how many people the combo could feed either. My group and I felt cheated. Yea, not coming here ever again!!! Very bad customer service!!! Unfriendly waitresses and the food is "meh". OMG!! They friggin added the 20% tip to the bill. Doesn't the customers have the option to pick how much to tip? The service was TERRIBLE!!! The waitress didn't even tell us that she was going to charge for the rice, too. The bowl of rice was too small... not a normal scoop of rice.... wooooow..... 100% WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!!

I was hoping for more, but you're going to get what you're going to get for the price. I mean it's $8 for a bowl of jajangmyeon and an escape room (if you go alone.) It came out ridiculously fast (a few minutes after ordering) which you can assume means you get some noodles warmed up and the sauce ladled over it, so don't expect it to be freshly made after you order it. It tastes like it, too -- a bit bland. I'm not complaining. It was still good eats, filled me up, and filled a void I needed filling. If I go back, I might try splurging for the other varieties of jajangmyeon. Maybe it'll unlock a transcendental experience. If you go dine alone, which I did, expect to be ushered to the very back of the restaurant, beyond the cashier's station where you will trip through a wormhole that takes you into another dimension. As you sit down, they will turn on a spotlight and play sad piano music. If you know what you're doing, you will dine with your back to the wall. Good luck navigating your way back out.

I'm reviewing as Korean so I will compare this restaurant based on my experience having had authentic Korean Chinese food in both Korea and US. Food - I tried their black noodles and spicy seafood noodle soup. Let me tell you, both were below mediocre. I honestly don't understand how this place is rated this high. The quality of their seafood was quite poor (you can definitely tell they are using frozen ingredients so who knows how old they are). Their black noodle was even worse than the noodle soup. It tasted exactly like the one you get at Korean highway stops which is usually about $5 because it is made cheap, but it's $10 including tax and tips. I could make it better at home lol Service - It was okay. But the ppl at the front were quite rude. Maybe they were too busy serving bunch people, but does that justify their disrespect towards customers? Nope. Lastly, am I going back? Hell no. My advice? there are way better Korean chinese food around. Don't bother here.

The quality of food went down. I ordered Jjamppong, Jjajangmyeon , and Tangsuyuk. Tangsuyuk was soggy, and I had a prttty bad headache after eating Jjamppong. Probably they put too much MSG to make it tasty. The amount of noodles in the Jjangmyeon was too small. I don't think I'll go back again.

Very good Korean-Chinese food! Got a table for five around 11:30 today. Only 4 or 5 tables were taken, but the place was packed when we finished our lunch. Ordered hae mul jaengban jjajang myun (seafood noodle with black bean paste), sogogi maeun gochu bokkum (stir fry beef with spicy pepper), tang soo sae woo (fried shrimp in sweet and sour sauce), jjambbong (spicy seafood noodle soup), and jjajang myun (noodles with black bean sauce). Stir fry beef was delicious and enough spice to make me sweat while eating it. The seafood noodle came with tongs and scissors on a very large plate which had plenty of seafood. Mostly good seafood, but some of it was a bit chewy and the shrimp wasn't deveined. The fried shrimp dish was tasty and I enjoyed eating the plump shrimp - I ate five or six of the ten ;) The kimchi was average, nothing special about it. Service was fast and efficient. The server came by our table many times. Can't wait to try course A or B when we come back.

First time here, recommended by Korean friend. This restaurant sits in a strip mall, and therefore parking was really easy. Upon entering we will greet it by a friendly staff. She quickly showed us to a table. A server appear immediately almost and took our drink order. You can have a choice of the usual bar drinks, cold water, buckwheat tea. This restaurant is a fusion Chinese - Korean. Therefore a few items on the menu looks like things that I find familiar. My friend ordered the bean noodle, I've had a Chinese version of that while living in China. This version was slightly less salty and it was very good in fact. I ordered the chicken fried rice, only because I was not really hungry and knew I would have to take half of it home. Therefore rice would keep better than noodles. However my next visit I shall aim to order the bean noodle and have it off to myself. We also ordered a third dish to share, it is the crispy sweet and sour pork. The Chinese version of the sweet and sour pork combines the sauce together with the protein. This version comes with the sauce in a separate bowl. So one can eat just the crispy version or dip it in the sweet sauce. I personally prefer it without the sauce and I was glad I had the option. The batter off the pork was very light and crispy which I enjoyed very much. Overall it was a very satisfying visit. And we'll try new things next time.

I came here when they first opened and the food and staff were all great. I raved to everyone how amazing this place was. I recently came back again and it seemed as if all the staff or owners had changed completely. They were not as alert and friendly. The food was not as tasteful and flavorful. We ordered almost half the menu and the only good thing was the chadol haengban jjajang myun and how fast the food comes out.

Really good new Korean Chinese restaurant in Duluth. It's right across the river from Johns Creek-- which is great for those of us who live further over in Alpharetta/JC. To be clear, this is a Korean Chinese place. Their jajangmyeon was delicious and flavorful. Not bland like some other places. I didn't really like their jambong, but my wife did. We also ordered the fried rice with chicken (for the kids) and it was really good. Please keep in mind-- this is Korean Chinese. That means that their fried rice is not covered in soy sauce like American Chinese places. The fried rice may taste a bit bland to Americans, but this is how fried rice tastes in Korea at Chinese Korean restaurants. If you need soy sauce to add a saltier flavor, there is Soy sauce bottle on the table. Great service!

Food is okay. Nothing special, just regular Korean Chinese food. Service is decent. I would recommend the rice flour tangsooyook.

Went here yesterday (01/30/22) with my parents. We are always looking to try new restaurants so we thought we'd give it a go. The restaurant used to be Seoul Shin Jung and it still has the old sign. They have a little border of signs on the doors though. The food is Korean-Chinese. They have stuff like noodles, rice and dumplings. The waiting space is sort of small and it was packed when we went in. They take down your number and your name and they call your name in the waiting area and also try to call your phone. For a new restaurant with no signage in the front, they were super busy. We waited about 20 minutes for a table. When you sit down they offer you hot tea or ice water. It took about another 15 -20 minutes for someone to take our order. The people that sat down after us got to order before we did. My parents ordered spicy pepper Jjampong (spicy seafood noodle soup, made extra spicy with dried red chili peppers). I got the rice powder sweet and sour pork. My parents' food came out but mine didn't come until we got tired of waiting and asked where my food was. The table next to us ordered after us but got their food first. They had ordered a sweet and sour pork too. The Gochu Jjampong is very spicy. Too spicy for my dad to eat, but I liked the spice. If you can't handle hot food, I don't recommend you get the Gochu Jjampong. My dad got his soup with rice instead of noodles and the bowl of soup was just as big and filled as my mom's which was a nice surprise. Usually places give you less soup if you get it with rice on the side. My parents weren't too thrilled with their food. My mom said that the food tasted ok, but the broth had no deep flavor. I tasted her food and I knew what she meant. The noodles were a nice consistency though. The sweet and sour pork was pretty good. There was a piece or too that tasted a little gamey but that sometimes happens. The fried pieces were crispy but not so hard that you're afraid you're going to break a tooth. I appreciate that the sauce comes on the side. My dad said the pork was tender. Banchan is kimchi and Dak-Kwang (yellow pickled Daikon radish). The tables have soy sauce, vinegar and red hot pepper flakes. They also have that button to call for someone but it's just as easy to wave your hand and grab someone. The staff is nice and apologetic. I don't think they have full kitchen staff right now. There aren't many tables in the front but I think they might have rooms in the back of the restaurant. There were 3 waiters walking around for the whole restaurant. I think they don't really have a plan in place so everyone is running around doing everything. It caused a little confusion. They need to work out a few kinks in order to run more efficiently. Next time we will go back for some black bean noodles and try something else. More like 3.5 stars than 3 but I rounded down. I think the food (for my sweet and sour pork anyway) wasn't worth what it cost. The serving size wasn't very big. I asked my parents if they wanted to go back and they said no but maybe I can convince them to.

They upped their kimchi game for sure, so a bump up in stars! We tried the kkan poong shrimp a few times but it's vinegary and I'm just not used to this flavor as kkan poong shrimp. I felt like the chili shrimp was closer to the kkan poong shrimp that I've grown up with. Their jjambbong hits the spot!

I order a Sachun Sogogi Bokkum( Szechuan style Beef) they just used Hot Pepper flakes.Not the Szechuan pepper corn. I was so looking forward to that numbing taste . Disappointment!

To start, the employees are all super nice and it feels good to dine at this restaurant, until the food comes out. The food ranges from "great" to "will never order again". The appetizers I tried were the fried dumplings, tangsuyuk, and Kanpungki (fried shrimp in a sweet and sour sauce). Dumplings and tangsuyuk were great. Both were very crispy and tasted delicious. The fried shrimp dish was not as good. I bit into it and it was very clear they did not take out the shrimp's poop or clean it very well, which dropped my appetite in an instant. I also tried the Gan Jajangmyun, which was way too salty and couldn't finish half. I tried a little of the Jjamppong and surprisingly the soup tasted great and had lots of seafood, so if you like that then I would recommend. Not sure if I would ever go back, but 3 stars instead of 1 was definitely because of the tangsuyuk and the nice employees.

I have been looking for a nice jjajang myun place for a long time and fail every time....until NOW! Visit this place with the wife and was glad we did! We ordered the Gan jjang myun .The jjajang myun was awesome ...the noodles...the sauce... everything was perfect ..... delicious! We also order the chopssal tang soo yuk ( sweet and sour pork with rice batter).....OF COURSE! It was amazing!! I cannot say enough about this place...the people are friendly and the place is clean....nothing fancy...but the food is very very good. I would definitely go back...for sure! This place is.better than some places I have tried in Los Angeles....and that is saying a lot .. So, if you are craving some Korean Chinese food, give this people a try....you will not be disappointed....trust me!
