Jang Su Jang is one of the best options for Korean food in the Alpharetta-Milton area. Many people will recognize the name from its long-standing reputation in Duluth, and it's great to have a location closer to home. The menu feels a bit more streamlined than I remember from the original location, though the core dishes are still there. It will be interesting to see how the restaurant evolves under the current management. Regardless, the food consistently tastes authentic and well prepared. Service has always been pleasant and efficient during my visits, which makes the experience even better. Parking can occasionally be tricky since it's located in downtown Alpharetta, but there's a nearby free parking garage that makes it manageable. Overall, it's a solid go-to when you're craving Korean food in the area without needing to drive to neighboring cities. read more

0/5 stars. What kind of scam is this???? As a korean, this place was a huge disappointment. First off, jjamppong no matter where you go all have a distinct, staple taste. The spicy jjamppong here tasted horrible. it was just noodles with 5 pieces of over cooked and old seafood in chili paste broth.... Second. The bibimbap? why would they serve it on a FLAT plate? it was so hard to mix the rice in it. Portion size of this dish was like kids menu. Not sure if they only focused on the aesthetics of the restaurant but there no need for you to waste money here. read more

Our family has mostly visited Jang Su Jang in Duluth, so this was our first time trying the Alpharetta location. When we used to go to the Duluth Jang Su Jang nearly ten years ago, it was mainly for comforting dishes like Soondoobu, something very affordable and casual. The Alpharetta Jang Su Jang felt quite different. It's located inside a hotel, and the atmosphere is much more upscale. Because of that, the prices are not cheap, and the overall vibe is more polished than what we were used to. It truly felt like a different version of Jang Su Jang. The food was very good, and the service was also excellent. Everything was well prepared, and the staff was attentive. However, as Korean visitors coming from out of state, it felt a bit distant from the Korean community, which makes it less likely for us to return regularly. That said, it's definitely worth visiting at least once, especially if you're looking for a more elegant Korean dining experience in Alpharetta. read more

Always a wonderful experience. The food is exceptional and the service is exemplary. I lived in Korea so I know good Korean food and you won't find any better in the Atlanta area. Highly recommend. read more

Definitely come here for the lunch combos ($16-20 ea)! It comes with beef broth soup and great sides including a veggie pancake, gimbap, spicy tofu, and more. I loved the Duluth location and this was my first time at the Alpharetta one! The Duluth one has different ownership now. I got the tofu soup, tasty as always! Unfortunately this location doesn't have purple rice though. The banchan (side dishes) were solid too and you can ask for refills. There are only about 10 booths so I would make a reservation if you're coming at a peak time. As for parking, there's a free public parking garage down the street a couple blocks - search up "Alpharetta public garage". Street parking is also free, 3 hr limit. read more

I have been going to the Duluth Jang Su Jang for many years. After hearing it changed ownership, I figured I should try out this location. It's located in downtown Alpharetta so there is either street parking or a parking deck that is a short walk away. Upon entering, this location is a completely different vibe than the original location. The Duluth location is large and warm, with a cozy homestyle and humble interior. This location gives a more upscale and elegant feeling. All the dinnerware are a matching silver. While the original location has a mix and match of many different kinds of plates/bowls for the banchan. Like some other reviews mentioned, the food is not exactly the same even though the menu looks more or less similar. They don't serve the same purple rice here (my favorite!) or give a raw egg to crack into the hot soondubu soup. The seafood pancake which I loved from the Duluth location, is extremely hard and crunchy here. I like it a bit crispy but still soft inside. It may be down to preference though. Just something to remember because I did see other reviews mention the crispier/harder texture here as well. The soup and banchan are still good. Just not exactly the same. This location is definitely still worth a try though if you are a fan of the original location! read more

I love coming to Jang Su Jang for authentic Korean food. My favorite dishes are Korean army stew, bulgolgi, spicy pork, seafood pancake, tofu soup, and ttebboki. The side dishes are great, and the staff is extremely friendly. Seating is comfortable, and it's easy bringing my two babies here. Parking can be a bit tricky since they're located in downtown Alpharetta, but there's a parking lot nearby. read more

We drove here for dinner to celebrate a very special occasion... Well, this place is renowned for Galbi Jjim, my all-time favorite Korean food. So of course, that's what we ordered. However, I chose to go with the Spicy version...which we ended up regretting. First of all, their Galbi Jjim tastes AMAZING...and always! However, this time I was a bit disappointed with the allotment of their veggies. They had way too many potatoes, not enough carrots. Also, as mentioned, it was TOO spicy. Of course, this was my decision...and it turned out to be a bad one. We also tried their Seafood Pancake in a smaller size...and it was THE best pancake we both ever had. Not only delicious, it was so crispy as well! I don't even recall their pancakes being THIS good at the original location...though their pancakes have always been impressive. As always, the service here is quite good...and the restaurant, btw, is very modern and sleek. However, I actually liked the old version better...with its unique, authentic decor. I was sad to hear that their original location (in Duluth) will soon be taken over by another restaurant management, with a new name. So, this Alpharetta location may be the one and only Jang Su Jang in the future. As much as I liked some aspect of this new Jang Su Jang, I didn't like the parking situation at all. Thank God my husband did the parking, several blocks away. I'll probably return for Galbi Jjim and the pancake sooner or later, but truly, a visit here will require more driving and harder parking. read more

My coworkers and I have been going here whenever we need a quick Korean food fix but it has been letting us down every time. Jang Su Jang is super popular Korean restaurant in Duluth and the owner recently sold off its original location in Duluth as well as JS Kitchen banchan store while keeping the Milton Jang Su Jang location. Like other comments, parking is a bit hectic but there is a deck you can park in on the next stret over. Interior is much fancier while the initial location has very traditional Korean vibe to it. JSJ is known for their side dishes, hence they had their own banchan/side dishes store. Also has a diverse menu, which my goto was the galbijjim or haemulkalgooksu. Each visit we visited the Milton location, food was bland but we kept telling each other it'll be better next time and we'll try something else next time but I think we just had enough. Here's all the disappointments. They dont have the same purple rice from their original location. Banchan is not as good - kimchi is watered down, japchae is so dry, and etc... Half of the sides are bland which is also true for the entrees as well. I used to love Duluth JSJ seafood pancake but here, they changed to more fried and crispy version that hurts the roof of my mouth. My favs such as haemulkalgooksu has no depth in it here. Also all the other soup entrees that my coworkers tried such as yukgaejang and galbitang were all let down as well. While we love having a Korean spot in Alpharetta, just little disappointed that they tone down the flavor. read more

Tried Jang Su Jang for the first time and was genuinely impressed. The food was incredibly flavorful, especially the seafood pancake and soon tofu soup. Everything tasted fresh and authentic, and the banchan selection was generous and varied. The staff was kind and attentive, and the overall vibe felt warm and welcoming. To call your server at any time you just press a button on the table which is very clever. Excited to come back and try more! read more

Finally more Korean restaurants in Alpharetta! The original Duluth Jang Su Jang owner opened up a location in downtown Alpharetta. Parking is extremely limited and difficult. It'll be hard to find parking right in front, so definitely expect to walk a bit either to street parking elsewhere or parking decks about 3-5 min away. It's connected with a hotel so you can enter from the hotel. And it also shares bathrooms with the hotel, which is quite nice. Food was okay.. spicy wasn't as spicy as you'd expect and a lot of dishes are sweeter than usual. It's not the best Korean food, but it's still good enough if you're craving authentic Korean food. Service was fast though which was nice. Manager also gave us free ddeokbokgi so that got brownie points from me ;) read more

A great spot in downtown Alpharetta! Be prepared to park in a deck or a lot a little further away. Parking right in front typically gets full quickly. Staff is very friendly and quick. I got the Korean beef ribs. Super flavorful and you get rice and 7 sides as well. What was different here was that you don't have to cook the food yourself. Proteins are cooked for you and brought to you. Great spot in Alpharetta for Korean food! read more

My FAVORITE place to get Haemul Pajeon in ATL. So glad they opened a sister branch close to our home! Things you should know: I. PARKING Up the street, there is a free parking garage (by the animal hospital). It's a brief walk to Jang Su Jang from there if you can't find street parking out front. II. SERVICE Attentive with banchan refills and timely with bringing out our order. I was wearing a white dress and they were considerate enough to give me a clear, plastic apron so I wouldn't dirty my outfit! III. QUALITY Literally, nothing here has disappointed us! For my friends who don't know how to navigate the menu, here are a couple recommendations: * Haemool Pajun (해물파전) * Bulgogi Mushroom Jungol (불고기 버섯전골) * Kimchi Soft Tofu (김치 순두부) if you like spicy IV. CAPACITY They're relatively new so please show them support so they can thrive 제가 애틀란타에서 해물파전을 먹기 가장 좋아하는 곳입니다. 우리 집 근처에 새로운 지점이 생겨서 너무 기쁩니다! 알아두셔야 할 사항: I. 주차 길 위쪽에 있는 무료 주차장이 있습니다 (동물 병원 근처). 만약 가게 앞에서 주차를 못 하셨다면, 그곳에 주차 후 장수장까지 걸어오시면 됩니다. II. 서비스 반찬 리필과 주문을 가져다주는 타이밍이 매우 신속했습니다. 제가 흰색 원피스를 입고 있었는데, 옷을 더럽히지 않도록 투명한 일회용 앞치마를 챙겨주는 세심함도 있었습니다. III. 음식의 질 여기서 실망한 적이 단 한 번도 없습니다! 메뉴 선택이 어려우신 분들을 위해 몇 가지 추천드리겠습니다: * 해물파전 * 불고기 버섯전골 * 매운 음식을 좋아하신다면 김치 순두부 IV. 좌석 수 이곳은 비교적 최근에 오픈한 곳이니 많은 관심과 응원을 보내주셔서 잘 정착할 수 있도록 도와주세요. read more

We were forgotten in the corner but the owner/chef made it up to us. Got at the restaurant at 7:15 to put in our name, told us that we'd be seated. Watched and saw that two groups who came after us get seated first even though we were waiting by the front door? Finally got seated at 7:30, rang bell to put in our order and did not get anyone to come take our order until 7:53, or bring water at all until then. We were excited for this place but the overall service and speed seemed to be catered to the main part of the dining room and the corner table was forgotten. Finally the bulgogi came at 8:10, it was cold tho so we asked for it to be sent back and the owner gave us an extra banchan, snail, as courtesy. Soondobu came at 8:20. But the biggest kicker was that at 8:30 he came with a whole seafood pancake on the HOUSE. Like from one asian brother to another asian brother you didnt have to do all that your restaurant was busy as heck. This completely changed our attitude and definitely made our night. Dining room is nicely designed except i feel that our table in the back was forgotten but the owner made it up to us. Food is exceptional. We were starving by the time we were served our food at. We ordered the soon tofu soup ($15~) and the bulgogi ($20~). The soon tofu soup was really delicious and flavorful and the broth they used is great and is the best ive had in atlanta. Bulgogi was great, sizzling, hot, fresh and savory. read more

Parking is a real tragedy, prepare to hunt and hunt and then ultimately go on a long walk to get from a parked car to the restaurant. We got the bulgogi lettuce wraps, seafood pancake, fried calamari, bibimbop, beef soup. Would not recommend the calamari. Comes out fried in tempura which actually was very nice but the stiff, finger-like calamari was tough and quite scary looking once the fried portion came off. Seafood pancake if definitely the way to go, includes calamari and more and overall very tasty. The beef and tofu bibimbop was not plentiful in the beef or tofu but overall was very nice and didn't feel bogged down by restaurant salts and who knows what. It came with a bonus presentation in the hot pot and frying the egg, who doesn't love a dinner and a show? The beef soup really is the star! I felt my soul heal itself with just a few slurps of soup, my bones were warmed from the inside out. Soup is legit whatever throat secret ingredient is really kept me running! 4 stars - good food but just off enough to not go running back any time soon. read more

We came here while visiting Alpharetta. The location is in the bustling center of downtown, and even though we had a fairly late dinner on the weekend, it was lively outside and there were plenty of patrons inside as well. We ordered some staple Korean dishes - LA galbi, bulgogi, and pajeon, which came with some staple side dishes as well. Everything was delicious and my favorite was the galbi which I am still thinking about hours later. I'd definitely recommend this place, five stars all the way! read more

Super clean and nice interior. Parking can be a little difficult but it isn't too complicated. The side dishes were perfect and plentiful. I got the Soteok Skewer and it was perfectly crispy and chewy with a sweet glaze. My dad and I shared the Short Ribs for 2 and it was plenty for the both of us. It was so good that I still dream about it The staff was attentive but there's a little button you can press if you do need something ! The food is a little pricey but I assume it's because of the location and how new the place is but other than that, it's so good !!! read more

100% yes, please! We had a friend do all the ordering and tons of food was brought to the table. I can't remember all the food, it was an entire table full.

Jang Su Jang is one of our favorite Korean restaurants in Atlanta! The short rib stew is absolutely amazing and packed with flavor. It's such a rich and comforting dish, a personal favorite of mine! We also tried the bossam, and I actually really enjoyed it despite not liking fatty pork belly. The dumplings were good as well. Honestly I don't think you can go wrong with anything you order here. But I highly recommend trying the short rib stew!! read more

I passed through this place multiple times and loved the decor and vibe and one day finally gave it a try. Here is the summary of my experience at Jang Su Jang: 1) Ambiance 6/5: I absolutely loved the vibe and ambiance of this place. This looks like a very posh fine dining space. This was my major reason for visiting this place 2) Service 5/5: The people here are very helpful and they make sure that you are properly taken care of. They were patient and helpful in explaining the different options and even suggested things to replace in case you wanted a vegetarian experience. 3) Food 4/5: The highlight of our experience was the small sides that were offered to us along with our main food. You can order them unlimited and they are delicious - something for every taste bud. Here is the summary of my experience with the food we ordered: a) Fried calamari: They were crispy and tasty. Worth a re-order as an appetizer. b) Mushroom Tofu: The tofu was very soft which was served with a side of rice. Overall the taste was good. This was one of the few menu items which was vegetarian (even without egg). I wanted to try Ramen soft tofu but was told that it might have fish oil or egg in them. c) LA Gaibi: I believe it was this dish but pardon me if I missed it. The portion was huge but my wife did not like the taste of it. The sides also were great accompanying it. 4) Value for Money 4/5: It's not the cheapest place for Korean food but given the ambiance and the helpful people there, I can let the price slide a little. In summary: It is worth a visit if you love beef and steak and want to experience fine dining at cheaper prices. The good: 1) Ambiance 2) Service 3) Sides for your dishes Not so Good: 1) Not many options for vegetarians 2) A little pricey read more

Food here was absolutely delicious, We ordered the Bosam Jungsik (Boiled pork with lettuce wraps and veggies) and the King beef short rib stew for two! I couldn't recommend the beef stew enough- it was some of the best I've had! I also loved all of the side dishes they were all fresh and tasty! Service and ambiance was great- we came on a Saturday and were seated immediately. My only complaint is that parking in downtown alpharetta is a hassle so please keep that in mind read more

Jang Su Jang is the perfect addition to dt Alpharetta and I'm glad they branched out from their original Duluth location. Alpharetta hasn't had decent Asian food offerings and this is a game changer. Great food, gorgeous and modern interior, and quick service! Food: The banchan was good quality and we enjoyed the spicy galbijim entree we ordered. It was too sweet for how I like galbijim, but it was still good. It also was barely spicy. My boyfriend enjoys very spicy food so we asked for a side of spicy sauce on the side. The waitress brought out this little cup and warned us that it is extremely spicy....That was an overstatement- it was one of the spiciest things he ever had! Be careful if you request that. We also tried the spicy tteokbokki which was decent. Overall, I would definitely come back to eat delicious Korean food here. Alpharetta, please continue to open good Asian restaurants!! read more

Great to have Korean food in Alpharetta. Kimchi Red is so busy these days, it's difficult to get a table so options are very welcome. Jang Su Jang is fairly well known so it's nice to see it show up here. I had ordered a decent spread to sample a few things. It's not as good as the Duluth location so seeing all the five-star reviews is probably just hype, in my opinion. Here's what's good: Short rib stew -- outstanding LA galbi -- pretty good Grilled mackerel -- could be better but not bad Dolsot bibimbap -- solid So tteok -- tasty Not so good: Seafood pancake -- overcooked Deep-fried mandoo -- average, wrappers taste generic Alcoholic drink choices were a bit lopsided. They have sake flights on the menu, but when you ask about it, there's no sake available. :/ Situated in the old Sabu restaurant (you might even see some familiar Sabu choices), the interior is beautiful, but I have to admit I wish it was cozier. Service was friendly. You can even experience the table side call buttons to get your server's attention which every restaurant should have. read more

I can see why this is regarded as the best Korean food in the Atlanta area. The atmosphere is wide open and they have models of the food on the counter. The server was really nice and super quick with everything. When talking about the food, there is so much to say. Let's start with the sides cause they are addictive for sure. The bonchon they serve are amazing!!! The kimchi was perfect, not only is crunchy but it is not as vinegary as other kimchi you will find. Which is good for people who may be trying it for the first time. The potato that they give is a nice bite also and the broccoli small dish was a surprise and was one of the best sides I have had at any Korean place I have ever been. Also, if you want a refill of any of them they are more than happy to do so for you. The menu is good and has a lot of good options, they also have a tapas menu, and a specials menu. My wife got the bulgogi lettuce wraps and the mini veggie pancake off the tapas menu and I got the pork cutlet (tonkatsu) off the specials menu and they were all really good choices. The mini veggie pancake is the perfect share for 2 people and you need to eat it with the house sauce that they bring the table. Crispy, veggie were fresh and the star of the show, and the sauce balanced everything out and made it pop. The tonkatsu was better than most I have ever had. Even if you don't like pork very much this is still an amazing choice because it is light and the katsu sauce that comes with it cuts the fatness and adds so much depth to it. Plus the miso ginger dressing with the cabbage that comes with it is the right side for it. They also add a lil egg salad on the side and it is so creamy and light that it is a bonus to the plate. Highly recommend this to anyone that has never been to Korean places before or really loves Korean food. You don't have to break the bank to eat amazing. read more
