Been coming here for years. They renovated and expanded from the original spot so that's good. Nicer interior design and more spacious; however, the service is dismal and today's was probably the worst. The service used to be so good. You used to even get high fives from the previous servers after you placed your order. What happened? When we first arrived Sunday for lunch it wasn't even super packed. However, we had to flag our server down for refills on our soup and check at the very end. We couldn't even get a carafe refill of water. We literally would've only seen our server in the beginning to take our orders and then to drop off our water and food... A big bummer on the lack of customer service or any service. We ordered the Tuna kimbop and another kind of kimbop. Both still tasted pretty good. The dduhkbokkee was just ok this time around. I think the dduhk was cooked too long. The spicy thin noodles we ordered was good. Also, the radish quality was below average and I love the two types of radishes they offer. Also, never got a refill on them either. Hope they get back on track. read more

This was my first time here and I'm sure it won't be my last. I came here with a friend for dinner and we had ordered two types of kimbop. For the price and the amount that you're getting, it's worth it! I was surprised that the tuna cheese kimbop one was pretty good. I also tried the bulgogi kimbop. For one order of about $5 you get about 11 pieces. Not bad! The fish cakes were okay, I preferred them a little fried. I was pretty full by the end of the meal. read more

Overall...yummy! I brought my mom and sister here after running some errands. My mom kept saying she was craving kimbap (korean sushi) and some noodles. I've been to this location around 5yrs back and I wasn't too super impressed so I never bothered returning for a second visit...until today! Service: quick and to the point. Our server sat us down at one of the many empty tables since we came right at opening time. She repeated our order and made sure we were okay. She wasn't the overly talkative type, but she did her job so I can't complain. Food: delicious and filling. For the price you get a good amount of food. - jjolmyun (chewy buckwheat noodle with spicy sauce and veggies) my mom liked this dish a lot and she thought the presentation of it was very pretty. She's a big veggie eater so she liked how a lot of veggies were piled onto the bowl. - chicken omurice (grilled chicken omelette fried rice) my sister loves fried rice so she was very excited to get this dish! Two grilled chicken pieces and a large mountain of rice. It came included with salad, korean potato salad, and some corn salad. It was good and yummy. - donkatsu (pork cutlet) came with the same sides as the chicken omurice. They are VERY generous with pouring on the house-made sauce. I would probably get this again but get the sauce on the side. It was yummy and very filling. - donkatsu kimbap (pork cutlet korean sushi roll) they are generous with the meat filling. Delicious and filling. Its definitely bigger than your average kimbap size but only because a lot is packed into it. 4/5 - a good place if you want to try a variety of different kimbaps. The soup they offer in the beginning is delicious, a little salty but both my mom and I agreed it was good. read more

Arguably one of my most favorite stops in Duluth! Dan Moo Ji is a small family friendly store that plays k pop in the background- one of its most notable traits is the wide variety of kimbaps they have on the menu! Of course if you can't make up your mind you could always order for their sets! Super affordable and staff was extremely nice :) Consistently checked up on us and asked if we wanted more side dishes! read more

It was a nice cute korean snack restaurant with clean presentation, reminding me of several Seoul places Ive been. The service was extremely efficient and the food we orsered was decent and cheap (33 bucks for 3 people and we got pretty full). The taste was ok, nothing too impressive, but it was definitely good enough to give it a very decent try. If I come by this area again, I would definitely stop here again and is a good place to recommend. read more

Dan Moo Ji is probably my go-to place if I want a variety of Korean food. It's located off of Steve Reynolds Blvd in a strip mall and has plenty of parking. As soon as you enter, you immediately approach the cash register and have the option of dining in or ordering out. Atmosphere is very clean, bright, and well-lit. There are several TVs around, and there's seating along the wall, in addition to tables in the middle of the restaurant. Depending on who I go here with, I usually prefer to order from the set menus, which range from $20-$28 and include 4 different dishes. You can always order extra items off the regular menu, but the set menus have a good variety of things, and for the price, you get plenty of food. The Passion is my favorite, and it comes with 24oz ddukbokki, bibim dumpling, 4pc fish cake, and any kimbob. We almost always also order omurice - but note, if you don't like ketchup, order it without the ketchup, because there's no way to avoid the ketchup once it's on (I hate ketchup, if you can't tell). In addition, like other Korean restaurants, you're provided with complimentary sides, and as an added plus, they also give this fish cake soup. Servers are always really good about asking if you'd like more soup, without you even having to ask! A jug of water is also placed at every table for you to refill your own cute, little water cups - super convenient. Overall, I'd recommend Dan Moo Ji. It's got the perfect vibe for a casual hang-out spot. Prices are reasonable, and the only thing that's missing for me is consistent service. Depending on who I go with, I've either gotten almost completely ignored by servers, or super speedy, stellar service where all my needs were anticipated. read more

Wow everything here was delicious. Reminded me of Korean street vendors. Would definitely return again

The Best of Duluth: DAN MOO JI The colorful decor of this Korean restaurant will make you feel as if you are in an Asian comic book. The entire store is absolutely adorable! I can't believe it took me this long to go to Dan Moo Ji. Everything in here is cute, so I guess that's what I'll remembered Dan Moo Ji for. Dan Moo Ji is a popular Korean restaurant located in Nukoa Plaza on Steve Reynolds Blvd that sells a lot of korean style street dishes, and other regular korean dishes. I am in love with their food, and I consider it one of the best in Atlanta. Kimbap (Korean version of sushi): streamed white rice rolled in seaweed, and filled with various veggies, meats, and etc. For my order, I thought they would only give a few pieces, but they ended up giving me a whole roll. The rice was cooked well, and it was neatly presented. My favorites are the Kimchi Kimbap, Spicy Tuna Kimbap, and Bulgogi Kimbap. Fried Wings: crunchy and warm, the thick wing batter is flavorless, but the peppery wing sauce quickly remedied that. Omurice: Fried rice covered with omelet, ketchup, and special sauce. I had the Kimchi Omurice, and there was tons of kimchi flavor, well distributed throughout. Crunchy and pleasantly oily. Dan Moo Ji is one of my favorite places in Atlanta that offer 10+ versions of Kimbap. It's cute, trendy, quick, friendly, delicious, and affordable. I think everyone should experience it at least once. Don't forget to try their fish soup! It's delicious! read more

I go here all the time when I'm craving kimbap or ddeokbokki...which happens quite a bit to be honest. service: all the workers speak mainly korean but they also speak some english. everytime I've been here they have been very nice, always accomodating. atmosphere: cute and simple. they have a TV that plays korean music videos throughout your time there. it has a modern and open feel. food: I love their kimbap, particularly their spicy tuna kimbap^_^ their omurice is also great if you're craving a good rice dish. their ddeokbokki is a tad bit much (about $4 for a cup) but they give you quite a lot. I normally just go here for kimbap so I keep forgetting to try out their other dishes on the menu. that shall be my next mission!! overall, I love this place as my go-to quick korean snack foods(: read more

Bummed I have to give a 3. I've been here a few times post renovations So much more space! It's great. No more waiting 20+ mins to get a table. Service is fine. Food comes out quickly Why a 3.... They got rid of the cute plates :( The ones that had Disney characters. It's a small thing to notice, but they were adorable to use when eating The soups/radish they give... not as generous. Sad. In fact, they changed the pour thing they use with the soups. Instead, it's a tiny bowl Tuna Kimbab - Hmm... I still like this. But it did lose it's really good taste. But this will fill you up if hungry. They give generous portions Ddubboki - OH MAN. I ordered the 24 oz... Worse dishes give to me ever for Ddubboki. A few times, barely came out warm, the udong (forgot how to spell it!) came out very poorly, the smell wasn't very good. The Dduck was a little hard. Super bummed. read more

Dan Moo Ji - Kimchi and Fish Roe Cup Bob - Korean Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

This has become my favorite kimbap place. First the kimbap is delicious doesn't matter what flavor you choose. My fav has been bulgogi and donkatsu. We've tried everything on the menu and honestly all of them are delicious. Second the staff is always friendly and efficiently. With the pandemic I can always rely on them to have my to go order ready in less 15 minutes. Location of this place is also super convenient, either as a snack or meal you can easily go back to running errands. read more

The kimbop is very tasty and decent in size, I always recommend the tuna and beef ones with a side of kimmari. Their omiurice is pretty good too. This is my main go to place for kimbop. The only thing I ding this place for is that they are very stingy refilling the soup and radish sides. The radish are kept in a tiny sauce cup that is normally used for ketchup in most restaurants. And the soup is in another small sauce dish. The waiter came by as soon as we got the food and I asked for a refill on the sides and soup and he waited till we finished our food to ask us if we still wanted the sides. read more

I have eaten at this Korean restaurant on numerous occasions and can say that both the food and customer service are everything you'd want them to be every time. The prices are also very good. If you dine in, there's always K-Pop music on the TVs and it's a good vibe. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

Korean with a Japanese type fusion - fast and delicious! Parking is easy, it's on the first level of a two story plaza, located right next to a White Windmill bakery which is a great pairing. Prices are reasonable and the selection of dishes is impressive. The service was attentive and enthusiastic and although not everyone who reviewed enjoyed this, they serve a complimentary miso type beef broth in a measuring cup! It's a cute chic kinda thing to do with a couple traditional sides. My party ordered a smattering from the menu including a bento box Bulgogi box, Omiriza traditional, "Bob" roll, Tuna (salad) roll. It's fast food, but doesn't skimp on taste. We had Coke and Peach teas along with water. We had a number of allergy concerns and the staff was very helpful finding us what we could safely eat and enjoy! read more

Dan Moo Ji - Korean Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

Dan Moo Ji is quite an interesting and unique place. As soon as I stepped through the doors, I felt like I had walked into a trendy street restaurant somewhere in Asia. The small little restaurant was bright and vivid inside, with anime girls and animals drawn on the walls, different colored Post-it Notes plastered everywhere, colorful menus and decorations, and an HD display playing K-pop music videos. Even the two young servers working the restaurant looked like they belonged in a K-pop video. The restaurant divided one of the tables for four into two tables for two by placing a white board in the middle of the table. Drawn on the white board were cartoons and the words "Dan Moo Ji." The trays the food is served on have snowmen decorations and the bowls the appetizers come in have cats drawn on them. If you like the "cutesy" pop culture side of Asia (anime, Hello Kitty, all that stuff), you're going to love this place. I learned by reading Tom C's review that "Dan Moo Ji" is Korean for a type of pickled radish that is used frequently in Korean cuisine. Dan Moo Ji is known for their gimbap ("kimbob" on the menu), which are Korean rice rolls. They are very similar to Japanese sushi. Both use steamed white rice rolled inside seaweed, but the other ingredients are different. For example, we ordered their bulgogi (marinated BBQ beef), spicy squid, and regular (spicy) chicken gimbap. The rolls include various vegetables including carrots and cucumber. Each roll consists of 10 pieces and range anywhere from $3-4. This is a good value. The rolls come with a small dish with a salty dipping sauce. I went with a group of four, all of us first-timers, and we enjoyed each of the rolls. They have some "all-in" menus, which are like combos. We ordered the "Dan" for $13.99, which includes bibim dumpling, one of any type of gimbap, and two odeng. The bibim dumplings were served in a large square bowl. They were arranged on the outside of the bowl with a ton of shredded veggies in the middle, topped with lots of Korean red spicy sauce and seaweed. Odeng is Korean fish cake. The odeng presentation was very interesting. There were two pieces, each placed on skewers, and put inside a broth. The fish cake and broth were served in a measuring pitcher. The broth stopped at 4 cups, exactly! We found this humorous. Check out my photos to see what I'm talking about. Both the odeng and bibim dumplings were good as well. Not exactly sure what all goes into the dumplings, but they were large and the outsides were hard and crispy. We also tried one order of their regular jjolmyun. These are chewy cold noodles, which remind me of naengmyeon (another Korean chewy noodle). Like the bibim dumplings, the jjolmyun was served with many shredded veggies and the Korean red spicy sauce. There was also an egg inside. We mixed it all together and shared. These noodles didn't seem as chewy as naengmyeon to me. This dish tasted similar to what came with the bibim dumplings, so we probably should have ordered something else for more variety. Finally, we ordered one plate of bulgogi "dupbob," which was a pretty simple dish consisting of steamed rice, iceberg lettuce salad with a sweet creamy dressing, and bulgogi (shredded marinated BBQ beef). An okay dish, but there wasn't much to it. The meal also came with a couple dishes of pickled radishes. Perhaps these were dan moo ji? One dish was spicy with jalapenos, the other wasn't. This was a lot of food for the four of us. We came hungry and we finished most of it. We split the bill evenly and it worked out to be less than $10 per person (before tip). Wow! We came for dinner on a Thursday night and the place was busy. One thing we noticed and I did not like was the "rushed" feeling of this restaurant. It felt like the servers were rushing us the entire time, from the time we were seated and placing our orders to when we were finishing up our meal. They were quick to hand us our bill and clear our table when there was still food on our plates. WTF. I understand they're a busy restaurant and they want to accommodate more customers, but there wasn't a wait the night we went. Maybe they're just wired that way. Dan Moo Ji is located inside Nukoa Plaza on Steve Reynolds Blvd. If traveling north on Steve Reynolds, this shopping complex will be on your right shortly after the Satellite Blvd. intersection. The businesses in this complex are mostly Korean and almost all the signs are in Korean. Dan Moo Ji is located on the ground level to the right of White Windmill. In the end, Dan Moo Ji is a very cute, trendy, and affordable Korean joint. I think most everyone should experience it at least once. Be sure to check out my Local Photos to see pictures of the gimbap and restaurant. #Yelp365 - 25/365 read more

My sister has been raving about this place so I finally got to try it out with her. The sign of this place literally says My Favorite Place. Omg, how cutee! Tons of parking in the lot. Seating is very small but big if you catch my drift haha. Got greeted and seated right away! YAYYY! Very sweet Korean lady! The plates were the cutest things ever! They had so many different variety. Looked around and saw some pig plates, princess, superman. I felt like a kid again. Got our order in - Beef murice ( $8.99 ) - Jiahm ramyun ( $6.99 ) - Regular omurice ( $7.99 ) The murice is similar to the kimbop ( it probably is ). The veggies were very fresh and crunchy. The beef was a bit dry but honestly, the veggies blocked it all out. The portions of it was huge! My jiahm ramyun is pretty much a spicy seafood ramen. Ehh, not much of a fan. The bowl for it was gigantic, I couldn't even finish it either. It wasn't even spicy at all. Tasted really watered down. I don't recommend this dish. Omurice was honestly my favorite. Its fried rice with an egg and ketchup. Hate, hate, HATE ketchup but it was already in the rice and I wouldn't have it any other way. So simple yet so delicious! The egg was laid perfectly top. At first I had no idea what my sister ordered until she split it open and I fell in love! The flavoring was a mixture of salty and sweet because of the ketchup. The fried rice tasted fresh off the WOK! ( kinda like a pan but meant for stir fried dishes ) 5 stars for their deliciousness! read more

Why can't I stop wanting to come here?? The food is so simple and nothing mind-blowing. Or is it?! Only open Wednesday-Sunday, so plan your dinner schedules for the week accordingly... And they close early on Sunday, too. I hadn't been here since I first started college, and didn't truly appreciate how good it was until after I had graduated. The menu offers many different options, but I like to choose from the "Girls Set Menu" options, which is similar to the "Combo" options found above them. I have had both the Yumi and the Sarang, with the only difference being the Kim Mari versus the fried squid. Both are fried in fragrant tempura batter, and come with some sauce to dip it in, although I prefer it dipped in the ddukbokki sauce. I always go for the mild ddukbokki with ramyun added and sweet potato (there is extra charge for the sweet potato). The mild is all I can and want to handle.. and I love eating spicy foods. The meal comes with two types of pickled radishes as banchan, one of which helps with the spicy burn. Additionally, the Girls set comes with two odeng, which comes in little Pyrex measuring cups (cute and quirky). The fried squid and Kim Mari come in 4 piece servings. I have chosen a different kimbab every time I order a meal here: the bulgogi kimbab, the squid kimbab, and the spicy squid kimbab. I like the bulgogi kimbab, which is classic kimbab, but the squid kimbab is a step up. The difference in the two kimbab is that while both are spicy (don't be tricked the normal squid kimbab isn't spicy, it is a little spicy), the spicy kimbab also has jalapeño, which makes for a much hotter burn. And the omurice?? Not included in the set menu, but it is definitely a must order. I'm a huge fan of the omurice at Don Quixote, and not that the omurice is better at Dan Moo Ji, but there is definitely something special about the omurice here. I do wish they would fry their rice with ketchup as they drizzle the ketchup on top of the omelette. It would give the omurice much more flavor. The servers are girls dressed in cute little uniforms, which is nice, but they know they're cute and can sometimes be a little cold. However, I do understand that when I show up an hour or less before closing, they would treat me that way. I was surprised that while they closed at 9:30, they tried shooing us out at 9:15... Regardless, they still give you everything you ask for right away, from odeng soup refills (YASSSSS) to water refills. Not bad, I wish they opened later, past 9:30. read more

Really liked this place! I don't like being rushed by our server, but my friend said its a Korean Quick/Fast-Food eatery so they kind of rush you out. But there were so many open tables, so I didn't understand why she was trying to push us out. Otherwise the server was friendly. We got tuna and bulgogi kimbap and don katsu plate. Everything tasted amazing! And the prices were really affordable. And what's even better is my plate was a star wars plate! And there is cool artwork. It's the little things that make me smile. They also provide little sides and soup to drink. I'm definitely going to get more kimbap! Yum! read more

Two words: Tuna kimbap. You can't go wrong with this one. It doesn't smell fishy either. If you don't like tuna, the other kimbap options are delightful. My kimbap favorites are: regular, bulgogi, and kimchi. Get the odeng (fish cake) too! They serve it on a skewer placed in a measuring cup filled with soup. If you can, go early because this place is small and fills up quickly. Also, come really hungry. Portion sizes are HUGE. read more

The food here is always exceptional which brings me back here every time. Their fried squid is a definite go to because of how crispy yet soft it is. I love how big their rice plates are and how much food you get with just $12. The only thing I'd say is that their service is inconsistent; sometimes it'll be good and we place our orders fast and food comes out quickly but sometimes we wait for an hr and our order still hasn't been placed (when it wasn't even busy either). It depends on who works but otherwise, this place is still worth the visit! read more

Go to spot for Korean favorites. Fair pricing and great quality. The wings and Kimbop here are spot on!

okay, so here's the thing. I've been here a couple of times prior to their renovation and expansion. BUT I was also here recently (which the place has been renovated and expanded for a couple of months now). our group decided to come here for dinner last week. and man, does this place look so much better! before, DMJ used to look like it was catered to only girls. there were little girly drawings on the wall, school girl outfits as uniforms, and girl k-pop songs. the color scheme before was very feminine as well. now, DMJ is more modern and minimalistic looking -- which I can dig. it definitely looks a lot more spacious, bright, and inviting. random trivia for ya. "dan moo ji" means "pickled radish" in korean. before the big expansion, pickled radishes came complimentary with anything you ordered. then after the expansion, they stopped giving it. I guess after many complaints or empty seats, they decided to bring it back. oh what a smart decision on their behalf! because I would not order that ish a-la-carte. so the staple dish for DMJ are their 'kimbaps' -- which is essentially korean sushi, BUT cooked. pickled radishes are also a key ingredient in kimbap. and I can vouch for their kimbaps! I do hate the dollar price increase on these, but they're still under $5 per roll! my favorite kimbap is their squid kimbap. at least half of their rolls have a "original" style and a "spicy style". oh and did I mention that service here rocks?! all the servers are korean and happen to be female. they are all very sweet and attentive. and best of all, they speak english; YAY!! :) read more

This was my first time visiting Dan Moo Ji. Never even heard of this place until my little sister, Crystal H mentioned this place to me. My mom, Crystal and I came here to eat a snack while my little sis ordered something to eat for lunch. We got our soup which came in cute little measuring cups. It was beef soup with salt, pepper and chopped green onions in it, then after a little while our pickled radishes came out: white pickled radish (non-spicy) and pickled soysauce radish (spicy). Crystal ordered the Jjolmyun which was chewy cold noodles mixed with Korean spicy sauce and shredded up vegetables. It was pretty spicy for me but it tasted great! There was also a boiled egg in the mixture of noodles and vegetables, too. Also ordered the dok bok ki which was spicy rice cakes. You have the option to add ramen noodles for a dollar. So we added that in. There was a boiled egg in it, too. And we made it UBER spicy! Yep I agreed to make it as spicy as possible and to my surprise, it wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be~ With the ramen mixed in with the spicy rice cake it's called La Bok Ki. And it seems like a great hangout place as well. There were a lot of teens and young adults eating here and just chillin. read more

Since the last time I reviewed, I was a bit disappointed with the re-opening of Dan Moo Ji cause of the changes. I have been coming back only for take out. I would call and order and just pick up. Since my niece was in town and never had Korean, I wanted to take her to Dan Moo Ji. She loves sushi but I told her kimbap is better lol. We got seated right away and ordered spicy squid & chicken kimbap, shrimp omurice, & hot wings. I was surprised that we got the spicy & non spicy radishes and broth, complimentary. Last time I came to dine in, it was more fast food where I ordered first, got a buzzer to pick up my food with no banchan. You would have to pay extra just to get them. The food came out fast. We got cute kiddie plates to fit with the whole Dan Moo Ji theme that I fell in love with in the beginning. TV had Korean music videos from kdramas, 4Minute, Big Bang, etc. My niece really enjoyed her meal. My daughter and my favorite place to get kimbap is Dan Moo Ji. We were unable to finish all the food and took it home. Dan Moo Ji, I'm back in love with you all over again and one of my faves to dine in. read more

Dan Moo Ji has a special place in my heart. The restaurant itself isn't easily seen on the road. It's tucked in the Nukoa Plaza. The name "Dan Moo Ji" is the picked radish used in many Korean dishes, as well as in kimbap. (in which they're known for having really good kimbap!) To spot out the tiny little store front, there's cute little radish cartoons on the windows as well as the sign. It's such a quirky cute place, and the food is delicious as well. Most items are large enough to be shared, such as an order of ddeokbokki or even the bibim mandu is HUGE! This place is also pretty well known for serving hot broth in a measuring cup along with your order! Quirky eh? You can also order whatever you like a la carte such as odeng (fishcakes), kimari (sweet potato noodles wrapped in seaweed, battered, and fried), and also customize your ddeok with ramen, dangmyun, or jjolmyun! I usually like to get the kimari and smother it in the ddeokbokki spicy sauce and devour it like no tomorrow. And if you're indecisive of what you want and just want to try out a bunch, they also have "combos" you can choose from to make your decision easier. Overall, it's a lovely place to go for a meal, either alone or with friends. VERY affordable too! read more

Tasty cheap Korean food, cooked fast - I'm happy that I was introduced to it by two of my friends. There are several menu categories. You can order more than ten varieties of tasty kimbap - two orders will easily make a complete lunch. Then there are the noodle soups - which have a good broth. You can also get cups of complimentary soup with any meal from a huge container next to the water dispensers. "Omurice", which is an omelet served on top of rice, is yet another option. In addition, there are the "cup bobs", which consist of fried rice with your choice of meat on top. I've eaten the grilled chicken cup bob and the beef bulgogi and kimchi cup bob. The grilled chicken is juicy and tasty. Good sauce and a lot of corn served inside the cup. The bulgogi and kimchi cup bob also has clear noodles served on top. I've gone back to Dan Moo Ji within a week of going there for the first time. Well priced fast casual food. I've added it to the list of restaurants that I will frequent. read more

If you are a fan of boonsik - that is, Korean street food - chances are, you've probably heard of Danmooji. Located in the Nukoa Plaza in Duluth, Danmooji is a trendier restaurant that serves traditional dishes and snacks you'd commonly find at the street carts in Korea. The place used to be a lot smaller with limited seating available, but they underwent renovation last year and expanded as well as modernized the interior. There's definitely a different feel to the restaurant now; whereas in the past, Danmooji felt a lot more homey and cute, the vibe now is a bit trendier and upscale. It's nice to know they've kept core elements of the restaurant - they serve dishes on small trays, princess/cartoon plates, and serve their soup in measuring cups. My favorite food to eat here is probably the tuna kimbap. I could eat these rolls and drink the complimentary soup (it's a simple broth, but it's literally the tastiest thing ever) all day. The kimbap is a traditional seaweed roll that is stuffed with rice, tuna, danmooji, egg, fish cake, cucumber and perilla leaves. Super tasty and filling - one order of kimbap usually comes with 8-10 pieces. While I'm not the biggest fan of ddukbbokki, I like ordering the spicy ddukbokki here with cheese - the sweet/spicy rice cakes are covered in melting cheese and it's pretty good. Other small snacks like the cheese corn, kimmari, fried squid are all pretty tasty - it's hard to mess up on a dish like them. I've probably tried one dish from every category they have on the menu (kimbap, noodles, deep fried, cup bab, omurice, plates, ddukbokki, etc.) and everything is pretty standard. Korean street food isn't meant to be elevated or fancy - at the core, it's comfort food. While I have noticed Danmooji trying newer dishes, like the cup bab for example, or adding newer sides, I appreciate that they still keep the simple dishes simple and don't try to change it around too much. Those are the dishes I end up coming back to when I dine here. Servers are friendly and the manager has always been kind when I've visited. There are a lot of Korean street food-inspired restaurant popping up in Atlanta, but Danmooji still ranks as my favorite amongst the places I've tried. read more

i stopped by for an official, sit down and eat kind of thing this time. the first thing i want to say is that between four people, we ended up stuffed and spent ~$26 -- omurice, two gimbap rolls, ddeok boggi, and some odeng. i would love to say "odeng" it was so good, but frankly, it wasn't. it was decent. i haven't given up though. i like it and want to like it so i'm hoping i strike it big on something i just have to have. the omurice was a little overpowering in the use of creamy-mayonnaisey sauce. the ddeok boggi -- even the regular version -- is pretty spicy so make sure you're prepared for it. it has a pretty decent flavor though. so far, i've tried the bulgogi, ojingeo, and tuna gimbap. i'm sure people will disagree, but i found the bulgogi gimbap to be the most flavorful, therefore enjoyable, of all. they serve udon broth in a measuring cup ... and you know what? it goes pretty much with everything but pairs surprisingly well with the ddeok boggi and gimbap! don't worry about running out. they'll keep bringing you more... the waitstaff is hella cute with very bubbly personalities that could just not happen at other kinds of restaurants. the outfits are a little off-putting carrying a kind of ... i dunno... airline attendant meets nautical aspiration. if you haven't been, you definitely should try it. once i find the dish i just -love- there, i'll be moving this to four stars. read more

Omg... Why is this place rated 4 stars? Maybe it's because of the Korean serving girls with lots of markups and short skits? I don't know... Food at this place is just mediocre. They only have one Dduk bbok gi option. Where is ra bbok gi and jjol bbok gi?? These are very basic for a place like this. Also, you can't take ramen to go. All the other snack places that I know will pack the noodles separately so that your noodles is still fresh. They just refused to pack it. Their service is just below average. First of all, they will start scream at anything when you order and when you are done with order. I will understand if they were really busy. They were still screaming even when one third of restaurant is full. Also, even severs who can speak English will refuse to speak English to customers if there is any one Korean customer among the group. They will not be flexible on any dishes at all. Some Korean/Asian restaurants are very accommodating if you ask for replacement for certain things. I understand if they cannot make accommodations. She was very rude and she even made a face. I understand a little if they were busy. They were very slow. It's hard to rate some restaurant if their service is bad. Please note that if you take it to go, their receipt will not state what you ordered. It will just show the total price. It's quite annoying as you have no idea if you have a big order. It's especially worse if you don't speak English. There are so many options for this type of food in Atlanta. I will probably come back if my friends want to come but that will be definitely once in a while. read more

Huge portions, tasty food, and cute atmosphere! Dan Moo Ji has a very hip vibe to it's blasting K-POP and kitschy decor. We ordered: Fried Squid Regular Kimbap Tuna Kimbap Spicy chicken Kimbap Lovely Set Menu The kimbap here are stuffed to the max with ingredients! Delicious! Ddukboki was good and not too spicy. Fish cakes are delicious and the soup that comes with each meal is great when you need to cool of your mouth from the spicy food. It's a little loud, but seems like a cool spot to come with friends and grab a quick lunch or snack. read more

Whenever I having a craving for some Korean food that is cheap and not too heavy, you are bound to find me here. What I like about this place is that they have a welcoming atmosphere to their non Korean patrons. When I am with others, I tend to go for their menu options as it will feature some of their best food items like the dduk bok ki and kimpap and with a wide selection, you have countless ways of customizing your option. In no time, your cravings will be satisfied as the food comes out pretty fast. Food is very filling as well with the miso soup and side dishes being refillable. Enjoy! read more

Dan Moo Ji is really cute and all very girly. It serves honestly good Korean fare in a very Korean bistro/restaurant. The food well made, nothing fancy and the owners put in such an effort to offer you the best. We had the special, which was cold noodle + odeng + kimbap. The cold noodle was good. Just enough spice to make it tangy and plenty of crunch in the noodle. Here's the thing, there are chick flicks and there are chick restaurants. If you are a dude, bring your girl or you'll feel kinda out of place. Btw, Dan Moo Ji means radish... and your banchan will obviously be radish.. read more

Dan Moo Ji has got to be one of my favorite restaurants to go to. I came here to try out their kimbap and fish cakes. The decor inside the restaurant is so cute. The restaurant is cozy and is often packed with patrons. The restaurant is not big in size and there's only about 10 small tables inside. Even though majority of their walls are decorated in Korean phrases, their menu is in Korean and English. There's one flat screen hanging from the wall that plays Korean music videos. We ordered a combo deal (that was illustrated on the back of the menu) that came with ddeokbokki, kimbap, and soup with fish cake. My friend ordered omurice, a Korean omelette stuffed with fried rice. He ordered his with kimchi fried rice. We were stuffed and even had leftovers of ddeokbokki. The soup that comes with fish cake is unlimited and you can ask for refills. Each fish cakes comes as a kabob and is served in measuring cups, which I found was different, cute, and interesting. I've also returned a few more times with friends and they all love it as well. I'm a fan of their soup with fish cake and their ddeokbokki! Definitely will be coming back some more as my other favorite restaurant (A-Hyang) is in the same shopping center as well. read more

Love the food. Everything is made fresh to order and is affordable. I have been here more frequently that I did checking in on Yelp. Every time, I ordered a different dish to try out Korean cuisine. The only reason this place got 4/5 was because the scent that I could sniff out from their restroom. If this is resolved, then I would love to come in even more frequent. read more
