    The brisket and marinated beef were juicy, flavorful, and grilled to perfection. Loved the banchan variety, and the Doenjang-jjigae (soybean stew) was super comforting and came out bubbling hot. btw this place is pricy $$ They also serve cold noodles--perfectly chewy and refreshing--and brought us a free Korean yogurt drink at the end, which was such a cute touch! The restaurant has private booth seating, traditional decor, and a cozy vibe. Friendly service and fair pricing for the quality. Highly recommend for a chill Korean BBQ night!

    Galbi dinner at Chung Dam

    My wife and I recently visited Korea Town in Duluth, GA. Our first night, we dined at Chung Dam and had a wonderful experience. We were quickly seated and served by a delightful and attentive waitress! The Galbi meal we had was out of this world. The Bonchon (side dishes) were all superb. Particularly good kimchi and soup dishes. Generous portions as well. We liked it so much we went back the next night, and they hit another home run! Highly recommend!

    Ambient restaurant with seating that allows privacy Things you should know: I. PARKING Chung Dam is right of the HMart Plaza, so the massive shared parking lot out front has a lot of availability for your car. II. SERVICE We were seated in a room. No bell was available to ring for a waitress, so we physically had to get up multiple times since they don't check on you here. Once you order, the food comes out fairly quick. III. QUALITY We enjoyed the banchan and I highly recommend trying the Braised Butterfish ~ it is so tenderly cooked it'll melt in your mouth. You can buy it alone as an entree or order it as a "family" option. IV. CAPACITY Fair amount of available seating at lunch time.

    We all drove far OTP, all the way to Duluth really just wanted to get hold of Tiger Sugar. But we were far too shocked from seeing the lines looping around the store and behind. We were not going to head back to the city and I suggested to everyone we could check out the Hmart here. One of us said we could even find a restaurant in the area. We agreed and parked at the Hmart parking lot. Then another suggested we could check out the Korean bbq restaurant that looked like a huge restaurant from the outside. The staff greeted us upon entering, spoke to us in Korean, and took our temperature. Looking around, I realized almost all the patrons were Koreans. This definitely was a positive sign, meaning the place would not be too bad and legit. The staff led us in and seated us in a room. Woo-hoo!! One of us said they must have thought I am Korean. I said can't be, Korean girls are fair and pretty. Another staff came, greeted us and gave me the menu while speaking in Korean. Realizing I do not speak Korean, she spoke in good English. We all decided to opt for the unlimited kbbq. The same staff went away and prepared the meat. SERVICE 5/5 The same staff actually was going to be the one doing the grilling for us. She was super nice, very attentive and helpful. I like her service way more than those I encountered at Ms Gogi and Kfactory bbq. Maybe those staffs were younger and more aloof. This staff was really nice like my mom, though my mom would not be the one grilling any meat for us. AMBIENCE 5/5 We all love the room. It would be a bit tight if there were 6 of us. The room actually sits 6 persons. FOOD 5/5 The meat was of high quality. I love the Bulgogi the most. The banchan given was more than generous and of a huge variety compared to Ms Gogi and Kfactiry. The steamed egg was delicious. That soybean stew at the end of our bbq session was to die for. They also offered free hot barley tea. I definitely recommend anyone to check out Chung Dam if you are in the area. I would be happy to go kbbq again when I am in the area. 5 stars from me to Chung Dam :) 04.03.2021

    My friends invite me here once because he said " their lunch box is awesome, you definitely want to try out。" First impression of restaurant, the waitress are so zealous and friendly said" an ne ha se yo" and make me very warm and feel like at home ha 。( )。First we got some side dishes like Kimichi, bean sprouts, broccoli, mush potato. I personally don't like cabbage, but others are fine to me 。haha sorry ? I am a little bit picky ha. The main course is lunch box, it come with teriyaki salmon, I like this one taste very tender and great. Then it comes with white rice, I have to say the korean white rice tastes better than regular that I cooked at home。I don't know why?Did anyone feel the same way ? Also come with Japchae, friend dumpling, and tempura veggies, miso soup and ginger salad。The nutrition is very balanced you know, make me feel healthy and satisfyied。w(゚゚)w, Last one is Seafood Bimbimbap, I love it , I will come back next time and enjoy the lunch box again 。(・・)ノ

    I dined at Chung Dam several times this year. The food is pretty pricy, but it is always consistent. I tried several soup and meat entrees, and the staff always made them slightly more spicy as I had requested.

    This place has changed over the years but at the end of the day, still a solid old school Korean BBQ spot that does the classics right. Galbijjim (both sweet pumpkin and regular) very tasty. Seollongtang is good (not the best but not the worst) and the doenjang jjigae has just enough funk. Not the fanciest of settings but they have so many private rooms that my immigrant Korean parents will often go there just for this.

    Trying out nang meon
    Jonn K.

    I have been here twice. Tried bibim nang meon and mul nang meont. Overall pretty solid but Inconsistent in taste. bibim nangmeon was very good the first time, and so so the next. Bancham no good by any stretchofimagination. Kimchi was disappointingly bad.

    Boiled egg, tofu soup, kimchi salad, sweet bean, flavored yam.

    This was the first time me and my family went here. The service was amazing and the food tasted incredible! The staff were extremely nice! 100% Recommended!

    kalbi
    BW K.

    My family's been coming to this place for a long time, and for a trustworthy reason. Their Korean beef kalbi (rib) is seriously the best in Georgia. I've been to good Korean bbq places in LA and Manhattan, but this place serves the best Korean beef kalbi. Cleanliness of the place and quality of the foods are top notch, and their staffs are ever so friendly, even during their busy hours. Our server (one in picture) was so wonderful, grilling the meat for us with superb skill, bringing the extra side dishes happily whenever we asked. As much as the food was phenomenal, the server was phenomenal, and she served my family a wonderful Friday dinner we deserved. Thank you so much. There are so many terrible Korean bbq places where they rip you off with cheap quality meats, terrible service, and unsanitary environment with overexpensive price. But not here. If you love and want an authentic Korean bbq experience, trust me and come here :)

    Galbi
    Katlyn V.

    I came here on a Tuesday night at 7:30pm and it was pretty empty. My boyfriend and I sat at a grill table. Our waitress was super nice. We ordered the Galbi and Dolsot Bibimbap. For the Galbi, since we only ordered one barbecue item, they cooked it in the kitchen and brought it out to us. So if you would want the full experience then you have to order two meats. They didn't serve it with the steamed egg or soybean paste stew either for the same reason. The Galbi was sooooo flavorful and cooked to perfection!! Very meaty and only the bones had a lot of fat on it. The Dolsot bibimbap was also very good! The rice on the bottom got very crispy which was my favorite part. For the price I think it was very worth it. At the end they brought out a cinnamon tea with our check. It was kinda sweet and the cinnamon flavor was strong (which I'm not a fan of) but I can see how other people would like it. The Galbi was quite expensive for how much it was but it was probably the best marinated Galbi I've had so I'm not too angry. Overall I enjoyed my dining experience and would come back!

    Great place, super clean but empty when I went in later at night. Kind of expensive but for good quality food. I love their kbbq but the meat portion was small for the amount we paid. The food was really good though!

    Kalbee
    Sarah S.

    This is my family's go-to place for korean bbq. The marinated kalbee is the best! We do get the non-marinated for our diabetic dad. The side dishes are also good.

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.

I do not feel as though downtown Duluth truly captures the amazing food scene of the city, but again, an old friend did like it enough to tell me about it. Inside was pretty spacious. High ceilings and bright. You have to go up front and order, and they'll give you a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready. Pretty standard so far. It's not too loud, even with the music playing in the background, so not bad for hanging out with friends after the food is done, though we didn't. We were all pretty disappointed with our food. It wasn't bad, thankfully, it was just meh. We could've literally drove 5 minutes away for better, so we left as soon as we finished. The good thing is you get to choose what protein you want with your dish, which is nice. However, the chicken katsu here is thin. Also, the K-Fried chicken doesn't really mesh with the pasta. It's like a skewer on the side of your main dish. You can eat them separately and be happy enough. I was ok with the bulgogi, but I would've expected better from a Korean establishment. I haven't tried every single protein option, but I won't lie, tofu in pasta isn't the most appealing to me. For the main dishes, it was pretty bland, especially the omurice. You need the egg and the protein for flavor. The Schezwan pasta wasn't even spicy. At least the carbonara was creamy as it should be.

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.

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!
