This restaurant is located in the food court of HMART. The food is surprisingly good. It is consistently busy here but the ladies that run this place have everything under control. They will remember your order without a name or number. This is a great place for a quick bite of authentic Korean food.

Our go-to, quick, authentic & consistent Korean food spot. Things you should know: I. LOCATION Within the HMart food court, closest to the exit. II. QUALITY Consistently good III. SERVICE Quick. No complaints IV. CAPACITY Sometimes there's a line but it moves rather quick

kal guk su with dumplings

this restaurant is in the Food Court, H Mart. I was invited to a couple weeks ago and was not too thrilled that my friends were going to a food court for dinner. I was wrong and I've been back twice since. I don't know what I got. It was pretty good going to look up the name. Kal Guk Su soup with noodles and not at all spicy. The guy next to me got a spicy soup he right now is soaked head to toe and sweat. glad I didn't get spicy. she did tell me when I ordered it said it's going to be 15 minutes to make. I took that is at least it's fresh.

I usually visit the food court first when I'm starving. By this time, I'm dizzy and delirious and just want food. I can always trust that the #13 tofu soup will be consistently good. It is served with rice and a tiny portion of banchan. During my starvation daze, I usually order or share another dish. #17 is another favorite. It doesn't fill me up completely by itself so having more food is always planned. If on the rare chance, they run out of #17 then try the #22 (less but bigger dumplings). I ask for it be steamed instead of fried as advertised. There's a water dispenser. You'll have to ask for a cup.

I'm almost tempted to give 5 stars to a food court restaurant, but, man, am I glad we discovered this place, since our last food court experience off of H Mart was just 'meh'. Over the years, even before our visits off the cruise in March to 3 different places in South Korea, we've grown to love Korean cuisine, not the least because we usually get quite a bit more veggies in our diet compared to fast food or other Asian cuisines. This time around we were well rewarded as well trying Dae Jang Gum (which I believe translates into "The long sigh" or "The long 'hmmm'"). My wife ordered the shrimp fried rice while I went with a minced beef thing, the name of which I forgot; both came with a soup (Asian borscht? :-D) two banchans and the main dish - both were nicely done. Now I was a little surprised that my beef thing was accompanied by veggies that were cold-served, but I was OK with it once I was over the 'surprise'. You might want to check before you order, since you can't always tell from the photos displayed. Ditto, spiciness - since Koreans like their heat, many dishes have an element of it, but it's not often the burn-your-esophagus type of heat, at least not by my standard. Those 2 lunches were $9 and $8 respectively, quite economical for what's close to a full meal deal, wouldn't you say?

Bibimbap to go
Joseph R.

Came here as a quickie to go before work...had a bibimbap. Was good but wasn't a filling portion, well worth the 7.99$ and was served within 5 minutes so credit to the servers. Only negatives were that the rice was very crunchy, almost thin and the side of kimchi (Napa cabbage) wasn't flavorful. The radish kimchi was excellent however, rich with flavor and crisp. Will try something else again but you can't beat the price.

I can never resist a venture into Super H Mart's food court; After a brief internal debate I decided on Dae Jang Gum. It was the only concession I hadn't eaten at yet plus bibimbap always hits the spot. The bibimbap came out fairly quickly as the food court wasn't too busy, I was pleasantly surprised by how much more food came out with it! There was a tofu soup, rice, and a small selection of various sides including kimchi and pickled vegtables. All for $7.99 (plus tax)! The bibimbap was solid, a very large serving, I wish there was a bit more meat; their bibimbap is primarily veggies - but they have the sauce down! I've had bibimbap better elsewhere, but for the price, this was a great deal!

Anita M.

I got the dol sot bibimbap (hot stone bibimbap) and sundae (Korean blood sausage). The bimbibap doesn't have much ingredients in (I'm used to a lot of different types of ingredients in it) but not bad for $8.99. It tasted pretty good. Even tho the egg was crispy on the outside and edges, it was still running in the inside. The pot was still hot after my boyfriend and I finished it. The side dishes that came with was kimchi, bean spouts, and macaroni mash potato salad. The kimchi wasn't that fresh so it was a bit ehh. It also came with the bibimbap spicy sauce. The Korean blood sausage had a little bit different taste than what I'm used to eating at the ones I usually eat from Korean restaurants in Florida (I'm from Florida) doesn't taste like this. I didn't really enjoy them that much but I still ate them. They were $7.99. This place opens at 9am and is the only restaurant in this h mart opens this early besides the bakery. All the other restaurants open around 10am or at 11am.

The soup only contains less than 7 small pieces of beef. That's unbelievable for a meal which costs more than 8 dollars!!!

The Korean food scenes got my wife and I hungry every time! Having been to many of Atlanta's best Korean restaurants over the past decade, Stone Bowl is a clear notch above the rest. The side dishes are just simply better with robust authentic seasoning and unforgettable flavor that leaves you craving for more. The kimchi is spot on for spice but not overwhelming. The potatoes are to die for, cooked to perfection, tender and absorbent of all the nearby flavors. For the first time, we tried the Korean sushi roll (K-Pop Demon Hunters was calling) and it didn't disappoint. Stuffed with fresh cooked bulgogi and veggies, we ate it so fast we were left thinking of Korean sushi rolls had an edge over Japanese sushi rolls! And we also got the poached dumplings for the first time and almost went as fast as the sushi roll. The authentic style of poaching the dumpling made it taste homemade from grandma's kitchen. The sizzling plate of bulgogi was amazingly put down the gullet on top of everything else. Consistently on point and warms the tummy. Service is cordial, but somewhat aloof and distant at times because we would have loved an offer to refill our side dishes, but admittedly they are often busy and we don't go there to expect Michelin dining service levels. We come for the food. Awesome food. And Stone Bowl House will be seeing us again before long.

Haven't you been Yet Tuh?…read more You should get out more and find these little places that just make eating out magical. Yet Tuh is one of them! We got the seafood pancake, a full side-dish set of banchan, galbi short ribs, something akin to miso soup (that my uncle said was super spicy, but just tasted like plain miso soup to me), and black goat soup which was as spicy as it was red. Everything was fabulous! The food, the location, the people, the ambiance- everything really sold the whole authentic vibe. We'll definitely be back. I'm so down for that savory seafood pancake!

It is located behind a bunch of buildings and it can be hard to find, but it is honestly quite popular. There are not a lot of seats inside and there are only a few tables outside, but some people had to wait for a table to open up. It is rather tightly packed inside. All the tables seemed to be run by one lady, at least when I visited, but the food came out fairly quick for the amount of people there versus the single waitress. My friend and I shared the Kimchi Pancake and Fresh Pork Belly. The Kimchi Pancake was huge! There were 8 small to medium sized slices (think pizza size). The pancake had a good crunch and taste, especially when dipped into the complementary sauce. My only complaint would be that it had a lot of onions. I would have preferred more kimchi and flour. The Fresh Pork Belly was good, but I wish it was crisper. We were also fans of the banchan! I liked the kimchi and pickled radish. I think if you are looking Korean food that feels like it was home-cooked with love, then Yet Tuh is the place to go! It has a lot of traditional Korean food such as stews and grilled meats & fish. Also, a lot of the dishes can be shareable.

Service? Excellent. Ambiance? Relaxed and enjoyable. Food? Oh...MAN. Wow…read more.. I came here about 8 years ago with the same family members +1 family friend and we enjoyed dinner then, but it truly didn't compare to this visit. Previously, I had Kang Nam slated as an overpriced, but decent sushi place that serves meals on a more robust scale if you're dining with a party. However, the sushi back then was somewhat underwhelming. Last night, we had a phenomenal set. Hamachi, Otoro, Unagi, Ebi, and more! Every piece was delicately balanced and beautifully arranged. Honestly, I wasn't really expecting too much going in- and I'd only chosen Kang Nam as a place where I could get some decent sushi while my family got something else entirely. My mom had Don Katsu (served with a small dish of Japanese style curry sauce). My uncle got the Tempura Udon, of which they served the tempura shrimp on the side in a bed of tempura flakes. This is kind of genius, because you can make the decision on when you want to dip in your tempura instead of them bringing it and you have to down the tempura fast in order to still have it be crunchy... NOT HERE! It stays crunchy since they serve it separately. Love that. We had refillable banchan: kimchi, king oyster mushrooms, and glass noodles- all of which were delicious. We all received bowls of deliciously simple miso soup and we ordered a set of fried dumplings. Everything was great! That is...until the sushi came out. Wow. Presentation: 10/10. Flavor? 10/10. Portion-size: TEN OUT OF TEN, Y'ALL. The sushi rice was fantastic and they didn't use too much like a lot of places do with their nigiri. The toppings were functionally decorative. The sweet shrimp was especially pretty with two different colors of roe on top. The yellowtail didn't need the toppings it had- green onion and fish/squid flakes(?)- in my opinion, but they added a dimension of texture to the initial bite and a hint of flavor to the finish. The fish was perfect in every way: not too thick, no too thin, overlapping the rice by double to allow for perfect soy sauce dips without soaking the rice, and I just CAN NOT EXPLAIN how good each piece was... The sushi rolls were so delicious and every bite had wonderful textures and flavors, but my absolute favorite roll was the one with the smoked tuna on top- WOW! Absolutely stunned. Never - EVER - have I actually tasted the smoke flavor so clearly and completely. I am a HUGE fan of that one and I can't even remember the name of it...it's in the picture on the plate behind the sweet shrimp. The eel nigiri was also a highlight for me- as it's one of my favorite pieces of sushi, I always order several pieces. I was happily surprised to see they were nearly twice the size I get at other restaurants. Hands-down, the best otoro (fatty tuna) I've had in Atlanta. The sushi chef here also believes in giving special service by preparing some extra pieces for the customers as well. I only ordered one set of otoro, but next time....oh my...my bill is gonna hurt next time. Each 2-piece set of otoro is set at $17, so...yeah... It's going to be SO WORTH IT though. I will 10000% be back- soon. I might just get some Otoro, Hamachi, and one of those smoked tuna rolls...man. SO. RIDICULOUSLY. GOOD. Get in there if you haven't been in a while. Trust me!

It was old. Definitely not as fresh as some of the other offerings here, and honestly, of the menu items here, only the seafood pancake was anything truly worthwhile. While the galbi was well marinated, it was thin. The soft tofu soup was good, but I feel as though most tofu houses do it well, so it's expected.
