It's kiosk order, so you don't need to stand in line and wait for other people. They have a bone broth dispenser, and that broth is *chefs kiss*. I probably drink three cups of it. And when you pick up your food, there's a grab and go area for kimchi, salt/pepper, sauces, utensils, so you can prepare your table how you want. I absolutely love this concept and I want to come back for every single soup. I got the regular galbitang and it did not disappoint. A note is that there are absolutely no vegetarian options, even the mandu has meat in it.

We had naengmyeon (cold noodles) and mandu (dumplings) for lunch at Naju Myunok yesterday. It was…read moregood. This is a popular, casual, quasi-cafeteria-style Korean restaurant in Duluth. This restaurant soft-opened in March 2024 and officially opened in April 2024 in the old Breakers Korean barbecue space near the defunct Gwinnett Place Mall, and I-85 at Pleasant Hill Rd (exit 104). It's spacious, but can fill up quick. We arrived at noon on a Saturday and there were still plenty of open tables. However, by the time we left, shortly after 1pm, it was packed with people looking for tables. Someone jumped on our table as we were getting up to leave. This is not a sit-down restaurant. Instead, you order at one of two touchscreen kiosks at the entrance and then wait for your number to be called to pick up your food. Everything is self-serve, from condiments to hot broth. You also bus your own table. Here's what three of us got: B3. Heo [sic] Naengmyeon ($16.99) - spicy sweet potato starch noodles with raw fish (should be spelled "hoe") C3-B1. Naengmyeon and Yuk Jeon ($20.99) - cold sweet potato starch noodles and thinly sliced beef pancake C1-B1. Naengmyeon and Dwaeji Yang Nyum Gui ($18.99) - cold sweet potato starch noodles and grilled pork neck D4. Kimchi Son Mandu ($11.99) - handmade kimchi dumplings My wife and I love naengmyeon. We thought Naju's version was good, especially in this fast-casual format. To nitpick, the noodles stuck together and the ice melted too fast. Regardless, I found the noodles to be delicious, refreshing, and satisfying. The spicy version came with a small bowl of icy broth on the side. The raw fish, beef pancake, and grilled pork neck were all tasty and of decent quality. As for the handmade kimchi dumplings, they were legit. Big and filling. In addition to naengmyeon, Naju also offers a variety of Korean soups (e.g., seolleongtang - ox bone soup and gomtang - beef bone soup) and LA galbi (grilled short ribs). During our visit, the pickup counter was staffed by a bunch of ajummas (Korean middle-aged women), basically Korean lunch ladies. I'd come back. This place seems ideal for a quick stop for an easy and reliable Korean meal / comfort food.

Tucked in the Korean Plaza by the Gwinnett Place Mall next to Chef Wong's sits a new traditional…read moreKorean comfort food joint called Hanbat So let's start with the particulars Ambiance: it's classic Korean stylized interior. Wood finishes mimicking a traditional Korean restaurant. The place seats roughly 120 people or so and it has warm cozy lighting Service: it's below average. Not great in terms of attentiveness since they didn't offer much in terms of refills of water or a status check in Food: I had the kalbi tang which is beef short rib soup. I think they specialize in the Korean comfort broth as they had all of the traditional hangover type rice soups from Yoo-Ggae-Jjang which is a spicy beef broth with tenderized flank steak, sprouts, and fern fronds to the Ugoji Tang with is soup made of tendon and cannot forget the SoellungTang, a popular beef bone broth with rice noodles and Ggori-Gom-Tang which is oxtail soup. All looked exception The kalbi tang broth is cooked to a lightness yet has a rich flavor to it. The beef is pull apart tender! Flavorful and rich. The broth to rice ratio favors the broth to be sure so you can't get a decent spoonful but for what it's worth, each bite is sumptuous and all around comfort food worthy. Can't talk about this place without mentioning the kimchi. They ONLY serve cabbage and radish kimchi and the way they serve it is vastly unconventional. First off, the radish kimchi isn't in the typical cube fashion. They serve it in little planks which is new for me to see and let me tell you, I enjoyed the way they prepped this. The radish kimchi is aged and fermented properly which provided such a fantastic offset that cut through the rich broth. The cabbage kimchi was also phenomenal! It didn't quite reach peak fermentation, it almost seemed like they finished prepping it two days prior to serving which is still in process of fermenting which has that still pre-fermented flavor which is great for eating such rich fatty broths that this place offers. Kalbi Tang sits at a $20 a bowl price point so it's relatively expensive all things considered but for what it's worth, between tax and tip, you're looking at a $27 lunch or dinner but you are getting a great product Definitely recommend!

I can't remember the name one of the things I got, it was essentially fried chicken on a stick with their sweet and sour on it. The chicken was good, but it needed a little bit of salt, and more of the sweet and sour, not much, but just a smidge more. The tteobokki was SOOOOOO good! The only thing I didn't like was that they put a hash brown square in it, which didn't work with the dish in my opinion, and it became just soggy in it, however, the seaweed things and the dumplings that also came with it were perfect complements to the dish. I would definitely go back.

We went to Bun Bo Hue for Saturday lunch and everyone was happy. My kids love pho and we want them to try different things, so they were a little out of their comfort zone not seeing pho, but quickly gobbled up the Kids BBH bowls. Of course we ordered the Saigon Pizza and it didn't disappoint. The concept really works and both kids and adults enjoyed it. Even after a day, my daughter is still talking about the saigon pizza. My husband and I shared bowls of Bun Bo Hue and Banh Canh Dac Biet. Delicious. I could really taste the lemongrass in the Bun Bo Hue and there was this complexity of different flavors. I liked the proteins that came in it even the pork blood. My husband enjoyed the Banh Canh the most probably because of the soft-shell crab, which is so interesting to just eat it dipping it like a breadstick in the soup. Great flavors there too and I've never had noodles quite like the ones in the Banh Canh. We appreciate how it's a simple menu because it seems like everything they make, they make well. We appreciate how the restaurant was clean and the service was attentive to young kids. We can't wait to come back.

Okay, you guessed it... they serve .... BUN BO HUE!…read more That is definitely the star dish here. Our table ordered 3 bowls of bun bo hue and 2 of their bo ne, and 2 orders of mi xao don. I haven't had bo ne in so long, and after having it here, I fell in love with it all over again. The bun bo hue was also so good. It wasn't overly spicy but still had that deep, rich flavor that I feel like a lot of restaurants lack. The bo ne was a good portion and easily enough to share with another person or two. It came with xiu mai, laughing cow cheese, eggs, tomatoes, and banh mi to dip and eat with. I loved it!! The mi xao don was also super yummy. One of the plates came out super late so we thought they had forgotten about it... The later plate had crispier noodles ( I think they forgot about it in the fryer) but honestly I kind of liked how it tasted better compared to the dish that came out first. The sauce was delicious and light with a lot of flavors. So yummy! It was a little hard to get someone's attention since they were pretty busy and we were tucked away in a corner, but the place was clean and neat. They also have an open kitchen, which was really cool because we got to watch the chefs cook. I was only in Georgia visiting family, so I'm honestly super bummed that I won't be able to have this again anytime soon. If I'm ever back in the area, I'll definitely be coming here again!!!!!!!

Outstanding ramen, incredible fresh noodles, and excellent service from Aaliyah…read more Okiboru Ramen Takumen in Duluth was absolutely worth the visit, and honestly, I'm just mad at myself for not trying it sooner. I started with the Okiboru buns (chicken and pork) the crispy gyoza, and the garlic nori fries. All three were a great start to the meal. The buns were soft and fluffy, and the pork bun worked really well with the garlic aioli, soy glaze, and pickled cucumber. The chicken one was good too but the pork one beats it on flavor. The gyoza had a nice crisp to them and came with a shoyu dipping sauce that tied everything together well. The garlic nori fries were also really good, crispy and well seasoned, and a fun side to snack on between everything else along with the garlic sauce to dip your fries in. For my main dish, I ordered the tonkotsu ramen, which comes with rich pork broth, pork chashu, half a soft boiled egg, scallions, and thin Hakata noodles. I also added the thick noodle refill on the side, and I'm glad I did because both noodles were excellent in different ways. The biggest standout here was the noodle quality. You can tell immediately that these are fresh noodles because the texture is just on another level. The thin noodles were fantastic and worked perfectly with the tonkotsu broth, but the thick noodles were incredible too. It's one of those meals where after the first bite you immediately understand why people talk about fresh noodles the way they do. The broth itself was rich, flavorful, and comforting without feeling overly heavy, and the pork in the ramen was very good too. Service was also a big part of why this visit stood out. Aaliyah was incredibly kind and welcoming, and she did a great job making the whole experience feel comfortable from the start. Good food is one thing, but good service is a huge part of what makes people want to come back, and she absolutely deserves a shoutout. The restaurant itself was clean, spacious, and comfortable. I was dining solo, so I sat at a smaller table, but they also have booths and larger middle tables that look like they'd work well for bigger groups. Food came out pretty quickly, and parking was easy since it's in a shopping center. And of course, everything got washed down with a Coke Zero. Not fountain, just canned, but it still hit the spot. This was an excellent meal from start to finish. Great appetizers, outstanding ramen, truly impressive noodles, and service that made the whole visit even better. I'll definitely be back.

I've been hearing about this place for years, and I finally was able to try it. And all I have to…read moresay is I regret not visiting this place sooner! The food is AMAZING. I've never had anything like it. We ordered the sample platter and a bowl of the crispy chicken skin. It didn't come with sticky rice, so we ordered each person that as well. The sample platter was the way to go since I don't have much experience with this cuisine! However, I will say that the depth in the flavors was perfect. In my opinion, everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection! I mean, imagine this: it was so good we ordered another one of the crispy chicken skins. But then we ended up ordering extra papaya salad as well. In short, the food was so good we needed more. I would come back here again, and I highly recommend it. If you are visiting the metro area of Atlanta, this restaurant is a MUST.

The pork belly and steak dishes made 3 of us sick unfortunately…read more The pork belly was very tasty ofc. The steak was tender but saltless and the sauce with it didn't really add anything but mellow sweetness. The fried egg-rice was interesting but also saltless so I only liked it with the pork belly and the pork belly dipping sauce. (no salt on the table for me to add) The place was empty except the Ubereats drivers talking super loudly on the phone for 15min at a time, kinda ruined half of the dinner; it was so abrasive at a shouting level. Waitresses were nice but rarely saw them to be able to ask for anything. When they did come by, I was already trying to get out asap. I first tried this place back in Doraville and wanted to support them, but I can't stretch my ignorance that far to be ok getting sick from $50 of dinner, 18% tip for being handed a plate and disappear, and the mood killing loud talking of delivery drivers coming in and out turning this Michelin Guide "Inspectors' Favorite" venue into a DMV/gas station ambiance. Additionally, the owner or whoever runs their social media has been chewing people out on Google reviews. Some of the complaints seem legit and some of their responses are giving petty mean-girl. Just makes me not want to go back there even more.
