    a bowl of noodles on a tray

    Inside of Hmart food court. Pros: Excellent service. Delicious food. Huge portions. Con: Wish there was more banchan (side dishes) offered.

    Tofu soup

    Located inside H Mart cafeteria. Looking at the menu and being cold outside and inside I wanted soup but didn't want anything spicy. I opted for the bulgogi hot pot which looked really good on the menu picture however nothing like what I got. The flavor was good but it was mostly broth with berry little meat, veggies and noodles. Hubs bulgogi looked so much better and got so much more food. Daughter got the rice cake soup and a side of rice (extra $2). She enjoyed hers.

    I've dined at this place so many times, and each visit is a delightful culinary adventure! The food never fails to impress with its incredible flavors.

    Quick Korean food. The menu is vast and the prices are very reasonable. Things you should know: I. PARKING The restaurant is in the cafeteria section of the HMart in Duluth. The parking lot is huge and there's plenty of free, available spaces. Easy. II. SERVICE Once you order at the register, the cashier gives you a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready. I see a lot of reviews of people complaining about the employees not smiling.. I want you guys to know that it's an american custom to smile at strangers and not something all other countries see as a social normality. Read up on it & thoroughly educate yourself.. do not take it personally. III. QUALITY It was my first time trying both Kimchi Albap 김치 알밥 and Jaengban Makguksu 쟁반 박국수. I don't have a baseline to compare but I enjoyed the taste alone. IV. CAPACITY Fair traffic flow of people coming and going. Majority of the food ordered was to-go from what I saw.

    Spicy pork special meal.

    Don Maeul is a Korean restaurant in the food court of the Duluth Super H Mart. As you enter the main entrance of Super H Mart, veer to the left, and you're at the food court. A rather large (size and quantity of listed items) menu, with pictures, shows available food items. You order and pay at the counter, and then you wait to pick up your food. If you decide to find a table to sit at in the food court while you're waiting, keep an eye open on the counter for your order. The orders generally come out in the order that they were taken, so take note of the people before you and behind you in line before you order. No numbers, but the employee there may make eye contact with you and wave you over to let you know when your food is ready to be picked up. I think that the lunch specials are the best deals here because you get a lot of food. My favorite is the spicy pork meal, which comes with steamed white rice, spicy pork cooked with onions, carrots and garlic, and side dishes of bean sprouts, kim chee, soup, fried egg, two fried dumplings with dipping sauce, and a lettuce salad with dressing. Although the spicy pork has mostly been at a medium spiciness level, there was one time the cook must've add the hot spice twice because it was very spicy! I like spicy foods, so it was still good to me. While I was eating, I noticed that a Super H Mart employee was making fresh produce deliveries to the various restaurants in the food court, so know that the produce is fresh. I like that they serve their food on real dishes, and not on paper or styrofoam plates, and give you silverware instead of plasticware. You can return your trays, dishes and utensils to the side counter after you're done eating. Parking is always available in the large free parking lot. This lot is shared with many small businesses to the right and left of Super H Mart, so you may have to park hundreds of feet away from the front door. This is a good place to eat right before doing your shopping at Super H Mart.

    I don't quite know what I was expecting.... maybe lower quality Korean food since it was a grocery store restaurant but I was pleasantly contradicted. I ordered the Bulgogi lunch which came with rice, kimchi and a soup. The food was tasty and cheap so I was happy to be proven wrong. The place is surrounded by other small food shops so it can be hard to choose sometimes but I recommend this location. The place is kept relatively clean and the attendant was polite. If you don't mind the smell and noise of a farmers market, swing by.

    Mediocre food and small Galbi portions. For the price, not worth coming back. Won't be back. Thank you

    It was my first time ordering from them on DoorDash, and I tried their signature omurice with…read moreKorean-style fried chicken skewers -- I was pleasantly surprised! When I opened the omurice, the rich egg and cheese aroma covered the entire dish, and every spoonful of rice was full of flavor. The sweet and tangy fried chicken skewers were also delicious. I also tried their mandu (beef dumplings) -- juicy and full of savory flavor. The second time, I ordered the Alfredo pasta, which had a strong creamy aroma and an addictive white sauce flavor. The only downside was the portion -- it was a bit small and disappeared too quickly!

Surprisingly, craving this got me to come back a second time. The Fire Chicken Omelette Ramen had the same presentation, but Buddok ramen instead of sushi rice. Disappointing, because I could have just made Buddok ramen at home. The Schewan noodles were not spicy nor tasty. Takoyaki was good, on a bed of potato fries. Would order again. For the Beef Bulgogi Cheese Fries, the bulgogi is good, the fries are not. These fries are from the frozen section at Costco, make no mistake. They are bland, 2/5 star fries. Even if the bulgogi was on top of better fries, the bulgogi is dry and the cheese on it isn't melty or saucy, so the fries and the topping don't mix together well. Just a pile of dry food.

    I recently visited here since it's located in the H-Mart plaza we go to often…read more Honestly, I thought it would be more like other Moo Bong Ri restorants with hot pot-style soups for sharing (전골), but it turned out to be more of a BBQ restaurant. Just a heads up so others don't get confused like I did. The place was pretty busy, which made it feel like a popular spot. The atmosphere was nice and everything looked clean and well kept. Even though it was crowded, our server was very friendly and attentive. They cooked the meat right at the table, which made the experience better. The fried rice (볶음밤) they made on the grill at the end, especially with the pork belly, was honestly the best part. Overall, really enjoyed it and would definitely come back.

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.

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!!!
