    Entrance to restaurant
    Victor L.

    Like other yelpers have mentioned, this restaurant is tucked away in the ?back of strip mall on the first floor just by the stairs. The windows are tinted and therefore it is hard to know what you'll walk into. I had been told previously that this is the place that "older" "traditional" Duluth Koreans go and was therefore not surprised by the lack of yelp reviews of this restaurant. First off, Alyssa and I thought the traditional decor of the restaurant was really nice! Not sure why they wanted to hide it behind tinted windows. The restaurant was very clean and many of the seating areas were separate booths. The staff was very attentive the moment we walked in and we were handed menus with cups of tea. They spoke limited English. Alyssa ordered the Deluxe ox bone soup which had a great traditional, comforting flavor. There are pieces of cartilage which we appreciated but others might not! The strips of included meat which were not ox were overcooked and borderline dry. It does NOT come salted (which is typical). There is salt and soy sauce to add to your liking. I ordered the Hangover soup which had just a little bit of spice/heat, a little bit of meat (beef ribs?) and a lot of napa cabbage (yum!). I would have preferred more meat but I thought the flavors were fantastic. All the soups come with a side of rice. Given that we had less food than we thought, we also ordered the galbi (grilled beef ribs). It thought this was some of the best galbi I've had- I don't like it too sweet and this version of it was just right. It was unfortunately one of the most expensive things on the menu (+$20). The banchan at Jang won Jung is good but nothing to write home about. They offer 5-6 items. The waitress stopped by once to refill the dishes that we finished. Overall, we enjoyed our late lunch here and I thought it was worth driving 30 minutes to try it out. I do not think I would choose this as the first place to take out of town friends or family.

    This is the definition of hole-in-the-wall. It's kind of hard to find since it's situated away from the more populated area. It was kind of difficult to figure out what to order, but we got two items. 1) Hangover Soup (8/10): we've never had Korean hangover soup so there's no benchmark, but by it pure flavor it was really good. It's mainly cabbage with some meat pieces. The broth is very flavorful and you can taste the beef flavor. 2) Premium Oxtail Soup (9/10): I have actually recently tried a different place with this dish, but this is much better. You can actually taste the beef flavor in the soup rather than having to add too much salt and pepper (you still have to for your taste but not as much as the other place). I personally like cartilage and tendon more than regular meat, so I chose the premium. But if you're indifferent, then the regular oxtail soup will be fine. The size for deluxe is also bigger than the hangover soup, but not sure what the regular oxtail soup size is. Overall, this is probably one of my favorite Korean soup place now in Duluth area. It was really filling even though it's just soup. The side dishes were good although the kimchi was slightly too soft for our taste, but we got second servings of the bean sprouts and potatoes!

    Cold noodles and tofu stew
    Siang Yen F.

    It's not the first time I've visited this place. It's a gem in the town for tofu stew! Although small dishes they have been reduced to lesser nowadays, the stew still hit the spot every single time when I was there! I ordered cold noodles for the first time after hundreds visit for tofu stew, the flavor was good but the noodles was really hard to bite. I'm not sure if it's normal as the waitress did use the scissors to cut them while serving like she knew it was necessary. But the flavors of the food was all super delicious!

    Dakdoritang 닭도리탕 (Spicy chicken stew)
    Stella L.

    This is an obscure little spot with traditional Korean decor and home-style soups and stews. We swung by for dinner last night and it was relatively empty save for a few tables of elderly couples. Fair warning to non-Koreans as the waitresses speak minimal english and the english translations on the menu aren't very descriptive. For dinner we ordered: - Budaejjigae (labeled as Spicy sausage stew) $9.99 - Dakdoritang (labeled as Spicy chicken stew) $10.99 (They may seem similar but their flavors are on different ends of the spectrum.) The budaejjigae is a 3.5/5. You get all the typical ingredients: spam, sausage, tofu, kimchi, vermicelli noodles instead of the usual dduk (ricecake). There is an overload of kimchi so the soup is more sour than I'm used to. (I'm from New York where Korean food is A++) The dakdoritang is a 4/5. This stew is sweet, spicy, and savory. The flavors were there, but I would've loved to have more ingredients in my stew. It's basically only chicken (though you do get a generous portion) and vermicelli noodles. (Typically, this dish contains potatoes.) Overall, 4/5 stars as the food was good and comforting after a long day. Side dishes are good and can be refilled if you ask nicely. Pricing is great as you'd get these dishes elsewhere for $12+ here in Duluth. We'll be back for more.

    Jang won jung has a nicely chosen Korean-style decor. Service was great and staff was super friendly. They brought out warm tea for me to drink as soon as I sat down. This was really nice to sip on especially since the weather was a bit cooler tonight. My mom and I ordered two dishes: #39 Kalchi Gui and Dwen Jang Jjigae (Grilled Cutlassfish and Soy bean paste soup combo) The fish was grilled to a very nice crisp texture. I was also really happy it wasn't salty. We requested that the soup be made on the bland side as this soup is often times too salty at restaurants. The soup base is salty and therefore can be salty if they use too much of the soy bean paste. I was actually kind of shocked about how salty it was even after asking for it on the bland side. My mom had to pour half of her water to dilute the saltiness. #20 Deluxe Oxbone Soup Today was one of those days where you see this on the menu and think. Yup! Gotta have it. I loved everything about the soup except the ginormous chunk of oxbone. I love oxbone but when it's too big, the texture and mush as you bite and nibble on it is a bit overwhelming. They give you a small dish with soy sauce and wasabi to dip your meat in. The flavors didn't really balance for me. I was wishing I could have Jang su Jang's (on venture Drive) wasabi soy sauce for my meat. The side dishes are mediocre. I felt all their side dishes aside from their spicy potato slices and radish kimchi could use some improvement. I didn't bother reading yelp reviews prior to coming here, but perhaps I shall have to try their hwejang gook next time as it seems to be a popular item.

    Sul lung tang
    Jung-In S.

    I have had only one meal here so far, but I can see myself coming here regularly. Half of the menu is comprised of comforting, warming soups and stews, which is why I chose to come here for my first meal after going out for Halloween. The oxbone soup, or sul lung tang, and army stew, or budae jjugae, came steaming, as expected. The budae jjigae had beans in it too, which is a pretty nice touch that I normally don't see elsewhere and the sul lung tang had a good bit of meat in it. The banchan was quite good as well, although our refill of radish kimchi was not as fresh and crunchy as I would have liked. The service here was very nice, though, and accommodating to non-Korean speakers and Korean speakers alike, although the servers' English is definitely limited. On top of that, the prices were very fair, with our total for the two soups being about $18. I will definitely be back!

    Very good and plentiful. Bi Bim Bop was excellent. The chicken soup was too spicy and difficult to remove bones.

    Place smelled like rotten sweat socks. I think it's the rags they use to wipe the tables. Lost my appetite walking in.

    Just adding that the takoyaki and the sweet Caramel Macchiato also made for a great snack time…read morecombo. The takoyaki was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with flavor. The Caramel Macchiato was definitely on the sweeter side, but it paired surprisingly well with the savory takoyaki. Overall, it was a simple but enjoyable snack break, and a nice addition to my previous visits.

    My friends and I visited after I mentioned a high school friend of mine liking this place. Once I…read morerealized where it was... I was skeptical. 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.

    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.

    I rarely write reviews and try to be considerate of the behind the scenes operations as a former…read morefood service worker from my past. HOWEVER, I was very disappointed with the service. 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.
