Why is the review here so different from what I experience,bc my experience was better than I thought!! This local mom-and-pop spot is serving some of the most comforting Korean food in the Suwanee / Duluth area. The server that day was super nice and she explained all the food we ordered and how to eat it the best way. Pork Belly Kimchi Jeongol -- recommend Rich, deep kimchi broth with that perfect fermented flavor. Slightly spicy, super savory, but not too heavy. Cook the pork belly right in the soup and eat it with kimchi + rice... SO satisfying. LA Galbi + Naengmyeon Combo -- recommend The galbi is super tender, juicy, and well-marinated -- way better than expected. The naengmyeon has that classic chewy, bouncy texture. Topped with gochujang-based bibim sauce, so it's spicy, tangy, bold, but still refreshing at the same time. Lowkey addictive. Fried Mandoo Not handmade, but fried to a perfect golden crisp. Trust me... dip it into the kimchi broth ‍ If you're looking for authentic Korean food in Suwanee / Duluth, this spot is definitely worth a try. read more

$10 Korean Lunch Specials Including seafood or tableside beef rib stew. I found you another lunch spot to try. Soup season is among us, and nothing is more cozy than a bubbling tableside crock of delicious Korean stew. You know, that hotpot that you don't have to cook yourself, and so flavorful that dipping sauce isn't required. The interior may look like a German hoff, but the flavors are nothing but bold Korean cuisine that your auntie would approve of. Cozy booth seating and private seating. Bring me with you to read the half price specials on the handwritten boards, because this rustic handwritten hangul won't work with your translate app. read more

Came here today for the second time. Today we enjoyed their lunch special that runs until 3 PM every day. Most of their offerings are 9.99, but you can upgrade your meal and get other things for a higher price. It's still a great deal! Parking is free, limited due to the many places in this area- but you should be able to find something quickly. We were greeted and seated right away, and the host pointed out some of the higher end combos that were available to eat. I chose the mul naengmyun with a side of Galbi (marinated short ribs) which was about $20. Normal evening pricing is around $28. Perfect portions for those who aren't going to put down a lot for lunch. My companion got the grilled croaker and soup for $14.99. He loved it, full fish grilled and served like it came off the fishing line. Side dishes were tasty, lots of flavor. I was focused on my lunch so I didn't get much like I normally do. The place was busy. People are taking advantage of their lunch specials, and it is so nice to see them offer it on a Saturday versus weekdays only. Even at 2:30 many tables were full! Small owned business by a wonderful couple. Please support small owned businesses! We will be back! It's about 9 miles from us in Cumming, but closer than going all the way to Duluth. read more

I haven't been here in so long! I had the Kimchi Jungol + Fried Dumplings + Kalbi gim It was super fresh and delicious! I appreciate the Kimchi Gim because it wasn't spicy at all. Although you can request it spicy, I preferred it the way it was. The Kimchi Gim was so good that I took the rest home and ate it for breakfast and dinner again. Their portions are huge! The galbi gim was super delicious! The meat was tender and braised in an amazing sauce, I appreciated the amount of garlic inside, it was like infused with the marinade. I highly recommend trying this place! read more

I am not sure why the reviews are bad here! This is clearly a mom and pop shop. I had the bulgogi box and it was so good! I was so shocked by the price. The service was normal, it was an older lady who served us. The place apparently has been here for a long time. They also offer a lunch special but I came for dinner. Next time I will try their KBBQ read more

I recently stopped by here for their amazing lunch special and it was so good, I came again for dinner! I got the Kimchi hot pot, LA Kalbi, and Steam eggs, Fried dumplings and it was super good! I saw they had better reviews for the Kimchi Hot pot and they were right!!! It was a perfect level of spice for me to eat 2-3 bowls without desperately reaching for the water! The service was normal as I think it is ran by 2 people only, I think it is a mom and pop shop? Overall, this place seems super traditional and a hidden gem. I think for the portions and kind service I recommend trying this place! Their lunch special is super delicious too! read more

We came here with my picky future-father-in-law and he was not disappointed (for once) with his order content. Things you should know: I. PARKING Sodeulnyuk is within a plaza and shares a massive parking lot with the adjacent businesses. Parking is free and simple. II. SERVICE Very hands-off, like your typical Korean restaurant. However, our banchan got filled on more than one occasion without us asking. That was nice! I was surprised to see a review about the service being discriminative against people who aren't Korean. I didn't experience that as a Caucasian here. III. QUALITY Get the 알팅 (Al Tang)! They pack it with hefty meat and not stingy filler ingredients like cheap vegetables and overflowing amounts of broth! 아빠 usually complains about this detail in America ~ but not with this dish! IV. CAPACITY Fair amount of available seating for a Saturday at noon. Give them some love. The ladies are sweet and work hard here. read more

Sodeulnyuk - I loved the side dishes! The galbi tang was warming and delicious. The atmosphere is very calm and relaxing as well! Recommend this place! - Korean Near Me - Suwanee, Georgia

Plenty of parking by the restaurant as it is in a medium sized plaza. Right next to Suwanee Hmart. The restaurant is pretty spacious, there are dining areas in the middle and also more private rooms/booth on each side. You can order KBBQ or individual dishes. For KBBQ, you have the option to do a combo or unlimited. There are two types of unlimited depending on what kind of meats your prefer. There is a time limit of how long you can eat for unlimited. If you are in a group, if one person wants unlimited, then everyone at the table has to get unlimited too. We were seated in a semi private room. The fans are super loud. I appreciate the fact that it sucker up the smoke but with little ones it took a bit for them to get used to the noise. There seems to be a bit of confusion when we were first ordering and it took quite some time to get our drinks and side dishes. Although I wanted to start with the pork belly, the waitress brought an array of all the meats instead. Which was fine, just never had that before for unlimited. You can also request the bean paste soup. It was slightly spicy but paired well with the meats. It did take a while to arrive though. Meat quality was okay. I just feel like there are other alternative places that have better selection/service. read more

Sodeulnyuk is one of my go to spots to battle the hot and humid summers. There's something awesome about having chilled noodle soup (neng myun) paired with Galbi or Bulgogi to beat the heat. The chilled noodle soup (mul neng myun) here is solid, flavorful, chewy noodles awaiting to be slurped and devoured. The cold broth washes away the weary sun soaked body and leaves you feeling refreshed. There spicy mixed cold noodle (bibim neng myun) is good too if you are craving something sweet and spicy. My favorite pairing is with Galbi or Bulgogi, the savory meat is the perfect combo with the cold noodles and the contrast of temperatures is pleasing. Overall - if you're looking for a way to stay cool this summer, look no further than Sodeulnyuk. The service is a bit lacking, they are definitely short staffed but the food makes up for it. read more

Sodeulnyuk - Korean Near Me - Suwanee, Georgia

I had high hopes for this place because it always smells so good when we drive by, but it was a complete waste of money. There was no one there. We were the only table, so you would think service would be excellent, but that was not the case. The lady was very nice but she very much kept rushing us. She kept asking are we ready to order and then just standing there staring at us. But after we ordered, she was busy setting up her table of food to eat instead of bringing us banchan. After the food came out, we never saw her again. I had to walk back towards the kitchen and get her attention to ask for a bag and the check. The bento box had french fries, olives, and a sweet pasta salad which seems a little odd for a Korean place. If I wanted french fries & pasta, I would've gone to an American restaurant. The bulgogi had no flavor. We had to take it home and recook it with some seasoning. The place was nice, big & clean but I can't say I'd go back. read more

If you have a small stomach and love only vegetables, this place is for you. But the taste of the food was okay. You will be surprised that the bill price differs from the menu price. I ordered Bulgogi bibimbap. There were about two pieces of meat in there. I complained about this, and the owner said that this is how it is here and that I should get used to it. read more

Came here for dinner with my wife. First time here and we let the server knew that so she can explain the menu since a lot of it was written only in Korean. A little language barrier , but our server was endearing and tried to explained best she could. Also let her know that my wife was diabetic and she couldn't have a lot of the sauce so we wanted to have only meats without sauce. They said ok. Great, ordered the all you can eat. This is where the trouble started . Even with all you can eat, they refuse to let you order the first round. Ok... odd... but ok sure. First round was interesting, they brought out pork beef and shrimp and tossed it all on the grill all at once... again odd, but they "separated" the meats lol. After this they brought us all meats that were heavily marinated in very sweet soy sauce. Must be a mistake I thought , I asked her about It and reminded her that my must has a medical condition that Didn't allow her to eat such high sugar food. Our server didn't quite understand so she grabbed another person to translate. The second sever just said it's house rules and we must eat the first round as is without modifications. At this point I'm not sure if I find this hilarious or aggravating. Rest of the meal was a comedic interaction between the server and us. Multiple wrong items and delays. The quality of the meats here is a above average. The side dishes are bland though. The price is about 31 per person for all you can eat, so it's on the higher end of KBBQ. Our experience as a non Korean was probably not as good due to the lack in ability to communicate. Overall poor service and experience, wouldn't recommend. Lost 1 star mixing meats Lost 1 star for not being accommodating for Lost 2 star for really bad service read more

Too many good Korean restaurants in suwanee, don't bother coming here. We'll first glance, many Koreans here. Good sign. Brought my Caucasian friend here for her birthday. I'm Korean but really don't speak it well. We we're very rudely greeted and waited to sit down when there were many tables open. There were 3 large groups of Koreans. We waited almost 10 mins for even a glance from our waitress, who then took our order. My friend ordered chicken and I ordered cod noodle soup. Took forever. When our food came we literally had 3 banchans and no kimchi, a Korean staple. I couldn't even get her attention to complain but she clearly was discriminating us for not being true Koreans and tossed us the meager banchan. My cold noodle soup was the most tasteless thing I ever ate in a Korean restaurant and no kimchi. Really!!?! We will never be back. Took another 10 mins for the check. And agin so rude about it all. read more

To be honest, it wasn't very busy for a weekend night. But we were greeted and sat down promptly. Me and my 2 friends got the galbi bento box which they now serve all day. The banchan (side dishes) were delicious, especially the cucumbers which were super crunchy and fresh. The hostess and server were very sweet and all the food was pretty good. They are trying their best and it was a very pleasant experience. read more

Sodeulnyuk - Galbi bento box - Korean Near Me - Suwanee, Georgia

This restaurant is highly underrated. The decor was nice, and the inside was very clean. This place has awesome service! We were promptly seated and offered drinks. We ordered from the lunch menu, which has great prices. Few minutes later the side dishes came out. We gobbled those down as they were delicious. Then the waitress brought out another round of sides plus an egg dish. After that our food came out. I had the spicy seafood rice bowl. It had great flavor and many pieces of seafood. It was perfectly spicy, do not order if you can't handle the heat! Waitress came by the table multiple times to make sure we were okay and had everything we needed. They promptly brought the check after we were done eating. The manager also came out and gave us a punch card to keep track of how much we spend and to get a discount. Everything was perfect! Will definitely be frequenting this spot! read more

Very good food, the host lady was very attentive, and i enjoyed the meat. I would defiantly come agin, it is a very traditional restaurant

Sodeulnyuk is a Korean restaurant in Suwanee serving an all-around menu of Korean cuisine including BBQ, soups/stews, salads, hot casseroles, rice porridge (juk), noodles (e.g. naengmyeon), grilled fish, and an assortment of other dishes such as bibimbap (mixed rice) and stir-fried plates (bokkeum). The restaurant is located in a Korean shopping plaza not far from I-85 exit 111 (SR 317, Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road, Suwanee). It's near Super H Mart, Mozart Bakery, and Umaido (ramen). This is a traditional Korean sit-down restaurant. The atmosphere is casual, yet the place is nicely decorated. This is evident before you even step foot inside the restaurant because the wide storefront features faux stone walls with temple-like wooden awnings and ornate front doors. Similar to other Korean restaurants, the interior has multiple sectioned-off dining areas, compartmentalized booths, and semi-private rooms. One large room can seat up to 35 customers. It's nice. Many of the tables and walls are made of stone. Some of the tables have built-in gas grills, for those who want to cook BBQ at the table. There's a big TV mounted atop one of the walls. While the restaurant is several years old, it's held up well and is very clean. Sodeulnyuk's menu has undergone many changes over the years. Several items have been removed or added and prices have changed. At dinnertime, you can get a nice meal here for about $10-15 per person if ordering non-BBQ items (e.g. soup, stew, noodles, rice). If you want BBQ, expect to spend at least $20-25 per person. These prices are in line with other metro Atlanta Korean restaurants. There are many lunch specials under $10-11 each. The selection is good. For example, there is a decent variety of many Korean foods such as pancakes (seafood, kimchi, oyster), BBQ meats (in addition to the usual pork belly and beef brisket, there's spicy pork, chicken, duck, etc.), fish and seafood (octopus, silver cod, Norway mackerel, beltfish, eel, salmon, croaker), casseroles (goat, pollack, beef intestine), rice porridge (abalone, vegetables), naengmyeon noodles (cold buckwheat noodles) with beef or skate (fish) in different sauces, all sorts of soups and stews (from spicy tofu soup to monkfish stew), and 10 different types of bibimbap. I think Sodeulnyuk's banchan (side dishes) spread is fantastic. The individual banchan plates can vary from visit to visit. One of my favorites is the japchae (semi-translucent sweet potato noodles) served with onions and carrots. At some Korean restaurants, I order japchae as an appetizer by itself, so it's nice that it can be included for "free" as banchan here. Another more interesting or unique banchan Sodeulnyuk serves is sweet black beans and peanuts served in a sugar-soy sauce mixture. Other banchan I've seen include typical dishes like kimchi, spicy pickled daikon radish, pickled bean sprouts, potato salad, pickled cucumbers, and spicy white jellies. In general, I think the BBQ meat quality is slightly above average. My favorite is the galbi (marinated prime beef short ribs). Galbi is served on the bone, unless it's ordered as part of a dish such as the galbi dolsot bibimbap. I've found the galbi here to have more of a bright, reddish hue to it. This makes it look more appetizing and I think it actually is. The meat isn't as fatty and you can tell the quality is a step above "cheap" galbi. The bulgogi is tasty too. Bulgogi is thinly shredded and marinated ribeye beef. The meat is tender and savory and the flavoring is subtly sweet and smoky. The bibimbap (mixed rice) at Sodeulnyuk is surprisingly good. As mentioned above, this restaurant offers 10 different kinds of bibimbap and I think it is underrated/goes unnoticed because of the overshadowing BBQ options. Dolsot means stone bowl and most of the bibimbap here is served in stone bowls. When the bowls come out, the rice is still sizzling from the heat of the hot bowls. Be careful. It's neat to hear the hissing and crackling. During this time, the rice is actually still being cooked against the side of the bowl. Some of the best parts of bibimbap are the chunks of crispy/almost burnt rice that you have to scrape off the bowl surface. I do recommend the aforementioned galbi dolsot bibimbap as it comes with one of the restaurant's most flavorful meats on top of an already good dish. The bibimbap bowls are colorful and come with an assortment of veggies such as shredded carrots, cucumbers, bean sprouts, gosari (bracken fern stems), white daikon radish, and white accordion jellies. Complimentary sujeonggwa, traditional Korean fruit punch, is sometimes served for dessert. Service is good. The Korean ladies I've encountered here speak a sufficient amount of English. A server call button is located at every table. Overall, Sodeulnyuk is a solid, versatile, all-around Korean restaurant that works whether you are dropping in for a quick bite or want to host a group dinner. read more

Oyster soup rice, charging for $9.99 Look at the picture how that looks like, I did not order the seaweed soup, I complained the food but couldn't change it, that is fine but should let customer know that is seaweed soup, NOT oyster soup. Who will be paying $9.99 for seaweed soup? Any other Lunch specials are NOT great neither, Don't waist your money and times read more

I love this Korean BBQ place. It's more old school (not fusion or trendy) and their banchan selection is very good and traditional. Great steamed egg and the dipping sauce (ssamjang) is delicious. Meat quality is very good. Unlike other places, it doesn't get too smoky and it's usually not overcrowded. My favorite place to go of all the ones I've tried (9292, Honey Pig, K factory). Sit in one of the partially enclosed rooms for a cozy vibe. read more

We ordered two gukbaps and added a LA galbi medium (we pointed at it because it was written separately from the large - we hadn't even seen large). There's a $6 difference in the bill. Turns out their new part-time server put it in wrong. But they made us still pay for the large. Not sure how they're still in business. The galbi tasted kinda weird and salty lol. Too much ginger?? Will not be coming back. read more

Korean food in Atlanta has a high standard since theres so many options to chose from. Sodeulnyuk has a solid menu of food and choices, but its rather typical of any Korean BBQ joint. Walking into Sodeulnyuk, you'll notice that it isn't going to be a quick in and out meal. The restaurant is decorated with nice walls and temple-like wooden accents. There are private rooms on the outerskirts of the facility for larger parties and smaller parties get to sit in the middle columns. The menu can be rather overwhelming, but you'll see the common fairs of any korean restaurant. It was a Sunday morning when I went and was not in the mood for BBQ'ing. I elected to get the spicy beef/noodle soup equivalent (forgot what it was called). The dish itself was $12.99 and came out in a heaping bowl filled with noodles, soup and other goodies. The taste was decently salted and heavily spiced. It had many lean cuts of beef and lots to eat. For $12.99 it better have. They also brought out small side dishes which you can see from other patron's uploaded photo. Their puffed egg side dish was fantastic and at the end of the meal, they bring out a bowl of sweet cinnamon soup. It really reminded me of mexican horchata. Overall Sodeulnyuk has a decent menu and the place is nicely served. It is pretty pricey and I believe you can find similar items elsewhere for cheaper. The waitress's attitude sentiment is shared by me as well. But when it comes to asians who are obviously an older generation in general, don't ask for recommendations, don't small talk with waitresses, don't substitute this and that on a dish. If you can't pronounce your dish, just simply point to it on the menu. Most asian places have a no bullsh*t attitude when it comes to ordering, but I feel that most folks in the states don't understand that. Poke and prod as much as you like, but expect cold stares and service in return. read more

Had to review this place again. Ordered through Uber Eats last night and Uber totally screwed up the order. They only delivered half of my order and I had no real way to get in touch with them. I called the restaurant directly and spoke to the owner. She was gracious and very apologetic and her daughter personally delivered my missing items. I have a very large order so tried many of the items on the menu. I love this place! The food here reminds me of my own Mom's cooking and the selection and quality are amazing. The kimchi served with each meal is plentiful and very well done. Unlike other restaurants that give you tiny portions, our portions were plentiful and fresh. Please support this restaurant as they are the first Korean restaurant that I have enjoyed this much in our area. read more

CUSTOMER SERVICE HERE IS TRASH. The ladies who work here are very rude. If you are coming here to have a good time with whoever you're with, don't come. The people who take your order will ruin the mood. When I was here with my family today, they ignored multiple times when we called to order. The first time we felt uncomfortable was when we were choosing our order and the lady asked us to hurry up. We couldn't believe what we were hearing. That left us in a bad mood but decided to let it go. After calling about 6 times, another lady came to take our order. But then, she asked if we can move to another table. What?! We asked why. She said it's more comfortable for them to have us at the different table. Then why didn't they sat us there in the beginning? We didn't understand. We wanted to leave this place very badly but the time was already late. However, we are never coming back again. If we could give 0 star, we would. read more

Sodeulnyuk - Korean Near Me - Suwanee, Georgia

Nestled in the Suwanee plaza off Lawrenceville-Suwanee Rd by the H-Mart and in the complex that has Kim's Pharmacy and Umaido Raman as well as Kang Seo and Sushi U. If you hit the former Iron Guys Korean BBQ joint, you've gone too far. If we are talking traditional Korean fare, you'll want to hit this place up for real! I was hankering for some traditional Korean cold noodle soup and haven't found anything of note. Luckily my mom was up for some as well and she said that a friend of hers recommended Sodeulnyuk as she also has hit a wall when it comes to that deliciously refreshing Korean summertime noodle dish so we decided to check it out. The interior is basic Korean. They offer a section solely for basic dining options but they also have a side set solely for BBQ. Seodeulnyuk also offers Korean BBQ so it is literally an all-inclusive style restaurant for those who want the BBQ and those who don't. They even offer an All You Can Eat K-BBQ option as well for about $10 cheaper than most of the other joints in Duluth! The meat quality here is great as well. Juicy portions of the Korean short rib is grilled to your liking and then cut up for you to eat. Definitely recommend the non-marinated version as the flavor of the meat is far more enticing than the sauce they will drench the meat in. As with any Korean restaurant interior that's older than 1990, they'll also have rooms specific for parties so bring your friends and family and you'll have your own separate party rooms! The cold noodle soup dish known as "Naengmyun" is amazing here too! As that was the main focus of my dining desire, I need to comment on it as well. The broth is a very chilled beef broth that is rich and flavorful and does not have that MSG bite that some places have. The noodles here are thin but the amazing part here is that they pull their own noodles in back of the house and it's chewy and will carry the cold broth into your mouth with every bite. Recommend you add about a tablespoon of vinegar and keep the mustard sauce to a minimum because the spicy bite will be overbearing. You've been warned! But the mustard is an essential part of the flavoring agent to this dish so be stringent with the mustard. Not a lot of meat in the bowl which was a bit disappointing but having the short rib prior kind of equalized it. The naengmyung was incredible delicious. Very cold so make sure that you're eating it during a hot GA summer! Overall, the experience was great. You know the place is legit when there are more nationals than there are non-Koreans. As with any foreign non-American restaurant, the more nationals the place has, you know it's legit! Highly recommend this place! read more

Sodeulnyuk - Korean Near Me - Suwanee, Georgia

I have been here twice in the last week. Popped by for a late lunch and had a Galbi plate and the spicy pork. On the way out I noted the All you can Eat beef for $14.99 in May. So we came back May 31st. The pork was good, sides were fresh. Even at 3pm on a Thursday the place was still pretty crowded. The patrons are all young Koreans or Korean families it seems. I was the only white dude both times. So I reckon this is a pretty authentic place. The spicy pork was not as good as some of the other spots I have been and the Galbi was good even if not amazing. On the trip for dinner, the all you can eat was impressive. Beef included both beef brisket, thin cut, and rib meet in large pieces. Both of which were quite tasty once grilled to perfection. we had two full large plates of raw meat, and that was more then enough. I believe the current price is now 16.99 for the AYCE beef, but it is well worth it. Back in L.A. AYCE Korean BBQ is very common and cheap, I am happy to find a place here in Atlanta. read more

This was an awful experience for me. I went out of my way to find this place because I wanted to try some Korean BBQ with my wife. My wife wasn't ecstatic about it and I regret taking her here. We walked in and it was definitely a local joint and frequented by Atlanta's Koreans. That's really not a problem for me. The problem was the attitude that was given by the waitress (an older Korean lady) who wasn't very helpful in advising my wife on anything to try. My wife was overwhelmed by the menu options and I tried to let the lady know she doesn't like seafood generally or anything that has a bone in it (I know she is picky). I started to pick a few things because my wife was being indecisive and the waitress was clearly being impatient and after I picked a couple of things the lady was just like, "That's enough food for you" and snatched the menu away from my wife. I was trying to let her know like, "Hey, my wife hasn't even chosen anything yet!" I won't comment on the food at all because of this. It was good, but not worth the badgering and humiliation. I know part of it is a cultural thing, but she was extremely rude. read more
