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 [...]
Extreme Teriyaki Grill Express
In every mall food court, you’ll see a Japanese stall featuring hibachi dishes. Dishes stir-fried in a hibachi grill then doused with teriyaki sauce. I know you know what I’m talking about. I grew up eating those, too. On the very end of Pleasant Hill Rd. in north Duluth, there’s one such hibachi joint. Except [...]
Pannus Bakery (Lawrenceville)
The long stretch of Pleasant Hill Road is literally peppered with ethnic eateries — from Duluth to Lawrenceville to Lilburn. Towards the east side of that road where Duluth ends, I’ve noticed a bunch of new places. One of those is Pannus. Opened only four days ago, this Hispanic bakery produces baked goodies from Mexico, [...]
Lattea
I started writing the draft for this post five months ago. Got lazy and completely forgot about it. There’s just so many snack houses/bakeries/bubble tea places these days it’s difficult to play favorites. But Lattea is among top on my list. Open til 3AM on weekends, Lattea provides hungry, bored night owls a place to [...]
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 [...]
Mr. BoBo: Golden House
The illustrious chef, Mr. BoBo, (as I fondly call him) has moved again. First Wan Lai. Then Bo Bo Garden. Now, Golden House. Mr. BoBo is a star chef among the Chinese. He’s like the Linton Hopkins of Cantonese cuisine and the talented version of Peter Chang minus the “wide-eyed” groupies and the New York [...]
Mr. Tea House
I am off to the beach as you read this. Funny, because I don’t really like the sun — I count the freckles on my face everyday and I don’t want to add any new ones– so I’m under a tent wearing a huge hat and caked-on SPF 1,388 all over. I really prefer cold [...]
Raku
the Chinese symbol for Happy So you all know by now how addicted I am to ramen, right? I ate 58 bowls last year and I’m up to 15 bowls this year (with my sister) so far. It’s only February, by the way, so I’m sure I’ll break my record last year. (Well, I’m not [...]
Vincent Bakery
Johns Creek
If you prefer a quieter atmosphere than most Korean bakeries then Vincent Bakery is for you. There are two locations: the first one opened on Medlock Bridge in Johns Creek, a stone’s throw from Super H Mart; and the newer other one is on Pleasant Hill next to What The Pho. The [...]
Find your way: Mega Mart
Today, just like the way our mom always talks to us (yeah, you should hear it) and in honor of her birthday, I will talk write in bullet points.
Inside Gwinett Place Mall in the old Macy’s.
This place is HUGE. You’ll have a difficult time finding anything.
Why are there a lot of American stuff? Isn’t [...]
Cheap eats, happy food: Book Chang Dong
Introducing… the Beef Bowl. $4.99. Happiness in a bowl. Perfectly steamed white Korean rice, loads of tender bulgogi in its own flavorful sauce. You can’t get happier than this. My happy food.

Best Korean Dinner: Cafe Tohdamgol
I took the pork fat drippings and drizzled it over my rice. OMG.
I eat Korean all the time. There was one week in May last year that I ate it 7 times in a week. Crazy. I’ve been here many times. But the other night was the best Korean dinner I’ve [...]
New Orleans Seafood
Thanks to one of my readers, Bill Petrosky, who sent me an email the other day tipping me of this new seafood/po’boy place in Duluth. It is located a few doors down from What The Pho and Cafe Tohdamgol. Opened just two weeks ago by a Vietnamese family, it is really more of [...]
