Spicy Korean Sausage only soup with Rice
Chris T.

While apartment hunting my daughter an I came across this gem. This place sits in a plaza with plenty of Parking. When we walked in, I knew this was going to be great. Never really had Korean food before so this was a great find. Very Authentic, clean and friendly. They have a self order kiosk and you also have the option of working with the lady at the register. We chose the kiosk. Bilingual kiosk-Korean and English. Food cooked fresh to order. When I tell you the Korean sausage is so good-it melted in my mouth. My daughter LOVED her dumplings. She said it was the best she has had thus far.

So much meat!

I grew up in Busan and Gukbap is my soul food. Reason why whenever I'm in Duluth I have to have authentic Korean food. needing some i always head to Duluth. My hubby and I were not disappointed in the slightest. We were blown away by how close they taste to gukbap from Busan which I tried few years ago! All the dishes we had were full of flavor especially Sundae! It's not typical frozen Sundae. Freshly made there with full of flavor. Service is very quick and they are friendly. Place has a modern look with cleanness.

Self serve kiosk, number called for self pickup at counter, self utensils & water, self buss when finished. Gets packed and folks will literally stand in front of tables while waiting for the next available seating. Good broth packed with good amount of meat and chives. Self salt to taste. Soup bowl stay hot for a long time. Kimchi is tasty but not refillable. Onions and dwenjang is nice. Rice texture good. Seating is limited; best for groups less than four. Private parking very limited so try to avoid peak hours.

Bossam

Love this spot! Pretty busy for Sunday lunch with a lot of Korean families & elderly - that's when you know it's legit! You can order at the counter or at a kiosk. Wait for your number to be called. Not much seating so I recommend going a little earlier to beat the lunch or dinner rush on weekends. Got the bossam, pork bone soup, and squid chives seafood pancake. Everything was SO good and fresh. Large portions so also very filling. Pricing is fair for what you get. Note if you're new to soups like this, you must salt/season the soup yourself. Not every table has salt so you might have to borrow from another table. Meats were tender and flavorful. Pancake was perfectly crispy. Can't wait to come back to try other items.

A solid place for a hearty, rich bowl of Korean soup that will warm your soul. You know a place is legit when the menu is limited-- they nailed it here! They do not skimp out on the meat, and an order of the soup is ~$15, comes with rice, kimchi, and radish kimchi. Be sure to add salt, pepper, jalapeno, shrimp paste to your taste. This place is located in a strip mall next to EM Bop, so there is sufficient free parking. Inside is clean, mostly table seating for 4. There's a kiosk you can order at, if you prefer. The food comes out pretty quickly, and you pick it up next to the utensils and water. When you're done, be sure to return your tray by the counter!

Korean Sausage + Pork Soup
Lauren C.

Good authentic Korean food. You order at the kiosk, and pick your food up once your number is called. I thought seating was first come first serve but was kicked out of my table by one of the workers when my full party wasn't there. I ordered the Korean Sausage + Pork Soup which was very tasty but a but skimpy on the soondae portions. The tray they give also takes up too much space of the table with all the condiments and side dishes provided. I'd be willing to come back to try their other dishes.

Great self serve place with a kiosk. Broth was very rich but not salty or oily. Very healthy. Loved the bossam too and all the sides. Would definitely come again

Christine H.

What a great chain and a great price! It's quite great to see that a homey dish can gather up so much flavor and a solid following. The service here is prompt, following a kiosk machine, and there is really nothing that you can go wrong with (other than the piping hot food so make sure you don't burn the roof of your mouth). I really wish they would branch out to more location across the country. Solid 5/5!

Andrew T.

Decent soup, needs more depth in flavor but not bad. Overall the place is lovely to be in and will fill you up. I enjoy some of the other tofu soup places around the area just a bit more.

Spicy Pork Soup
Nicky N.

The food here is always hit the spot. Steaming hot and fresh. The restaurant is clean. So you order thru the machine at the front counter. You will get a receipt with a number. Once your number is called up, you can pick up at the window in the corner. Self serve from water to utensils, so no tip ... but it's up to you. You can also order at the front counter with the lady. Seasoning is in the open fridge in the right corner. Very efficient

Good food and fast service. The place is mainly self service (order on screen, grab food when number is called) but the food comes out quite quick. Great for a meal by yourself or to grab with a friend or two.

La Galbi

Authentic experience getting Dwaeji Gukbap. It felt like we were back in Korea! Things you should know: I. PARKING Busan DaeJee Gukbap is within a plaza and shares the free, public parking lot with the adjacent businesses. II. SERVICE You order at a kiosk and they call your order number then it's ready. There is a help-yourself water station, area to grab utensils, plates and napkins. Toppings (like salt) are on the table. We used a lot of that .! III. QUALITY Delicious..! For my friends who have never had Gukbap before ~ you throw the rice into the stew.. kind of like congee. It'll get soggy but that's fine. Don't be afraid to add salt either! The LA Galbi is full of flavor ~ highly recommend! IV. CAPACITY Quite busy on a weekend at lunch hours.

Spicy Pork and Rice Soup
Tanni D.

My partner and I were searching for a new Korean restaurant to dine in, and he came across Busan DaeJee Gukbap. I love soups, so I was really excited about trying the restaurant. We walked in for lunch on Sunday and were the only guests there. The restaurant was squeaky clean and the walls were decked out with photos of the entrees that are served there. I ordered Spicy Pork and Rice Soup, while my partner got the Pollack Ox Bone Soup and Spicy Blood Sausage Soup. My soup had a strong pork flavor, and so I swapped my meal with my partner's Pollack Ox Bone Soup. This was completely opposite; it was very bland. I don't think my partner and I were the ideal customers for these types of soups. I personally prefer hearty soups with a lot of flavor, as long as it doesn't taste too porky.

Revisited my favorite place in Duluth. Place is the same,…read moresame sweet owner and delish food. 10 side dishes, seaweed soup: and she gave us different rice to try. One of them was soaked barley rice which was delicious soft and nutritious. Had summer bibimbop (mixed vegetables with rice) and roasted croaker fish. She remembered us and came to chat. Kept filling our dishes. Love this place, so will you.

Here's what makes it so special: Authentic Home‑Cooked Flavors A small, carefully curated menu (~10-13 dishes) ensures each item is made thoughtfully, from traditional kimchi stew to perfectly grilled fish. Reviewers consistently describe the food as reminiscent of mom's cooking--real, comforting, and unpretentious . Owners avoid over‑seasoning with excess salt, staying true to authentic flavors. Banchans ... made with care. Cozy, Inviting Setting & Hospitality The atmosphere is intimate, with just about 10 tables in a clean, welcoming space. Service is warm and personal-- where you feel like family. Owners are often present, chatting with customers, serving dishes (like prepped bibimbap), and even topping up banchans--creating a community atmosphere. Generous Banchan & Portions You get up to 10 side dishes (banchans)--a level of variety uncommon in small spots . Sides are replenished freely-- won't let you leave hungry.

I rarely write reviews and try to be considerate of the behind the scenes operations as a former…read morefood service worker from my past. HOWEVER, I was very disappointed with the service. My partner and I came in around roughly 9:50-10pm. When we arrived we're were initially informed that we had to order soon because they were closing in 30 minutes and were understandings of that. Shortly after we were seated, (literally 1-2 minutes) about 3 employees came to our table letting us know we needed to order within the next few minutes. It was like 10:05. I tried asking one of the employee what the meat options were and was just interrupted by him being persistent in us ordering and did not really answer our questions, mainly because I noticed some of the meat options were pork and I do not consume pork for personal reasons. My partner and I felt overwhelmed and just ordered something we thought would not include pork. After submitting our order another employee came by with the check already without us asking insisting for us to pay before our food even came out. Mind you the restaurant closed within 20 minutes at this point. When our food did come out, it did contain PORK!!! We just left shortly afterwards and left the food on the table.

우리는 배가 터질 듯이 불러올 때까지 여기서 먹었다. 삼겹살 진짜맛있어. 돼지고기 냄새 없어. 10점 만점 10점!!…read more I came here with a group of eight people, and we all ordered the brisket, pork belly, and the large intestine. I was absolutely obsessed with the smell of this restaurant before I even went in! I appreciated them, giving us two grills, and the staff actually cook the meat for you. I wish I was sitting more towards the left grill because whoever cooked the pork belly on that side made sure the flame was hot enough and it cooked the pork thoroughly while also making it crispy on the outside. In front of me, the griller did not make the heat high enough so it took a while for the pork to be fully cooked. She told us it was done and it was still kind of chewy so I kept swapping back-and-forth from the left grill onto this one. That's the only reason why I gave it a four instead of a five out of five was because I did not like the way they cooked part of our pork. It was so chewy the fat was not cooked at all, but it was an easy fix. I just had to cook it longer on the other grill but again we shared two grills between eight people so 1/2 of our group got to eat more than us. I like how the pork doesn't have a really strong, pork smell, and it tasted very good like it was seasoned properly. I absolutely love the kimchi! I love how this restaurant stays open pretty late so we can enjoy eating and drinking. It's such a nice casual place to hang out. For dessert, we had kimchi fried rice haha. It was such a great night!

This time, I brought my friend who has never had Korean bbq before for her to try. We went right when it opened so it was quiet. I told the server it was her first time and he was eager to explain everything to her. I don't think she was prepared at all what was about to grace our table He brought out a cart full of side dishes and start to explain what each one is along with the flavor profile. When he got to the scallion salad, she was just not loving it, but he told her to at least try and see what she thinks (don't knock it til you try it!) Then he said they're still getting the charcoal ready so it'll be a few more minutes and my friend's eyes just (like what?) So we start with trying a bite of all the sides. She enjoyed everything except the sliced onion salad. Surprisingly, she loved everything else, including the scallion salad! She's a texture eater, so I was weary of her trying the tofu, but she really enjoyed that too! So... the charcoal comes out, and she's just Then the server brings the grill with the cheesy corn, spicy bean sprout, and he poured in the eggs. Followed by the meats! Since she didn't really know what she likes, I made a few suggestions and the server suggests letting him bring us the most popular items first and we can work our way through the menu. What a great idea!! Started with brisket and ribeye and wow ... meats were fresh, paired with the sides, and the dipping sauces, it's just chef's kiss!! We then had bulgogi and pork belly and those were just bursting with flavor! The cheesy corn was good but burned too fast on the grill, the spicy bean sprouts are amazing, and the steam egg is my favorite . The only downside is that if you don't eat those sides that are cooking on the grill right away they'll turn dry and burned and it won't be as good. The cheesy corn also caused some splattering to our hands when we were cooking the meats. The server apologized for the oil splattering since he heard the squeal immediately soak up the oil from the cheesy corn so the splattering would stop. Overall, my friend gave it 10/10!!!

Come hungry! This is a great spot for meat lovers. The Kimchi stew is one of my favorites in town…read moreas well.
