There are so many new Korean places in Duluth I can’t keep up. This one opened a week ago and I’m so happy to see they’re already busy everyday. First, let me tell you how to get there. Although the address says Pleasant Hill, the storefront faces North Berkeley Lake (across from Super H). So, [...]

Dumpling House (Duluth)
Did I have you at dumpling? Thought so. This is another of those new establishments in Duluth. It opened about two months ago. It occupies the space vacated by my ultra favorite EERecipe Rice Crepe House (if you never went then too bad for you). Managed, operated, and staffed by a Korean family, everything is [...]
Kal Guk Si (Noodle House)
This noodle house opened about a month ago, one of the newest additions to Duluth, specifically Pleasant Hill Rd. It sits on the same spot vacated by my beloved Mr. Tea House. I know of only 3 or 4 Korean noodle places in Atlanta that make their own noodles in house by hand. This is [...]
Hansel & Gretel Bakery (Duluth)
“Gwinnett gets all the fun.” My good friend Broderick (of Savory Exposure fame) said it best. So true. There are a handful of new eating joints that sprout up along Pleasant Hill in the last month or two. This is one of them. A chain, with one other location in Suwannee at the Assi Plaza, [...]
Omurice
A cute and funny video of how to make Omurice. Courtesy of reader Darryl M. Do you know what Omurice is? It’s a very thin omelet filled with fried rice then drizzled on top with ketchup. Growing up, going to Japanese restaurants were filled with the anticipation of eating this fun dish. It’s a very [...]
Fung Mei
A quickie post as I’m afraid this Chinese-Korean place is on its way to my “Death Watch” (if I ever had one). Death Watch is a term coined I first heard from my good friend Eli Zandman of Tomorrow’s News Today. It’s a list of businesses that, according to him, are “good as dead or [...]
Don Quixote (Duluth)
I’m not really a big fan of this place but I have a best friend who is and eats here at least twice a week. Once in a while, I get dragged along. Don’t get me wrong. The food, on the average, is better than decent and some dishes are really good. So. Here’s what [...]
New Korean: Nam San Gol
Korean restaurants are sprouting like weeds in Duluth. A new addition opened this month in the same plaza where Great Wall supermarket is located and there are two more nearby which I haven’t had a chance to visit. According to my translator good friend EDM, Namsangol is a village in Korea where traditional houses exist. [...]
Chicken & Beer (BBQ Chicken)
Just a quickie post — went to the newly-opened-for-two-days, BBQ Chicken aka Chicken & Beer, which is right next door to Honey Pig. It’s such a fun space with a fun mural, a quirky glow-in-the-dark bar, colorful walls, cozy booths, with Korean and American pop songs blasting in the background. By the way, did you [...]
Of Birthdays and Noodles: Jjajangmyeon
Before anything else, today is Chow Down Atlanta’s birthday. You. Each and every one of you made this possible and I’d really like to thank you for all your support. For stopping by, reading, commenting, even hating — well, I think I only “angered” two or three of you so that’s good. [...]
Korean BBQ
If you’ve never had Korean food before or are just apprehensive in trying it because you don’t know what to order and/or how to behave, then I’ve got just the thing for you. Korean Barbecue. This is a fun way to introduce yourself and your friends to the awesome cuisine that it is. [...]
Noodle House: Jang Choong Dong
It’s the season for soups and my current obsession (among other ethnic soups especially ramen) includes yukgaejang. This has always been one of my favorite Korean soups. I love the spicy, savory, beef broth with a hint of tang. Gochugaru gives it this beautiful deep red color that glistens. The smell [...]
Kko Kko Chicken and Pizza
Pedestrian, run-of-the-mill Korean fried chicken. Small pieces. Okay batter. Get the plain ones. The spicy kind isn’t spicy at all and I really can’t get past the thick, gooey, cloyingly sweet sauce the chicken pieces are covered with.
The wings have potential, however. Crispy. Spicy. Juicy. Tiny.
Did [...]
Soup’s on: Tohdam Tofu
A few months ago, I was saddened when my beloved Toh-Dam Tofu House closed. Three months ago, it was resurrected. Same place, same name. But. Brand new expanded menu, brand new owner and staff, and a brand new chef.
The one thing you must not miss here is the yookgaejang, one of my favorite [...]
Welcome to the family: Star Daepo
Ok, there’s a new family member to our growing Korean community. The name is Star Daepo. It opened on September 29. It’s been packed ever since. And just like any other Korean bar/restaurant, they’re only open for dinner.
The place is huge. The tables inside are regular Korean BBQ tables. [...]
