Jang Choong Dong

It’s been 2 years since I’ve last been here. It’s still a solid, Korean restaurant. Everything is still the same. The menu is still simple. The same people still work at the restaurant. And the quality is the same.
I had the Yukgaejang again. That was still great. The hand cut noodles tasted great and had nice texture. The broth was still deep and good.
I also tried their Sundae jjigae. Sundae Jjigae is their blood sausage stew. The blood sausages tasted pretty dang good. The broth was very nice as well.
I also tried their jokbal. They have 2 sizes: medium and large. Large is enough to feed about 3 people. If you have more people, I think you should order other things.
They give you some pickled vegetables and lettuce ssam to eat the jokbal with. It was like Korean BBQ, except you don’t smell like smoked meat afterwards. The pork had nice amount of meat and connective tissue. It tasted good too. It was a solid dish.
Jang Choong Dong is a good Korean restaurant. It’s reasonably priced too. I suggest you guys try it, and I’m not just saying that because the restaurant has my name on it.

I’m very adventures… So I started working in the Duluth area for about 7 months now and noticed this Korean restaurant around the corner of my office but could not find the English name for it because the outside building is in Korean only. Today I decided to drop in and look at the menu and order something. I went in and ordered seafood tofu soup. One thing I love about ordering or eating Korean food is that it comes with all the side veggies/​items (bunchan). You normally only get 2 items when eating at the food court like Hmart or Assi. So while I was sitting there waiting for my carryout, I searched and searched for this restaurant finally found it on Unilocal.The soup was flavorful and rich. It came with tiny shrimp, tofu, about 2 regular shrimp and some chop zucchini. The best part was the bunchan that it came with. It came with one of my favorite cucumber kimchi, regular cabbage kimchi, radish kimchi, and some green peppers that was flavored with anchovy or something fishy. It also came with white rice. All were pretty good. It was 9.99 which is reasonable and I probably will return. I just need to get some friends from work to keep me company shall I ever go inside to eat.

Duluth does not have that many awesome Korean restaurants. It’s hard to find good tasting Korean food because they have to cater at least little bit to the other countrymen. Most people think of Korean food and they jump right into BBQ, Bibimbop and Seafood Pancake. Perhaps those who are little more sophisticated would recommend Kimchee Pork Soup, Tofu Soup, Cold Noodle Soup and couple of other non-​American favorites.
This is a hidden gem in this town if you are into blood sausages and steam liver and pig years (Soondae), steamed pork lettuce wrap (Bossam) and Pig’s feet (Jokbal). There’s no place like this one in town.
I frequent this place while visiting Atlanta because of its authentic Korean style food, friendly service and just chill atmosphere. I don’t see a lot of young kids here because they are used to sweet, salty and just food stimulus in general without the deep rich taste of savory food.

Ahhhhhh my go to place for Jokbal. Not kidding this is atl’s best Jokbal place. Why? They don’t use cinnamon to cover up the smell nor do they use it in their marination. Good place. Open 6 days a week.

Very delicious but a little bit pricey. The menu starts at 8.99. One of the few Korean food places in the area, and it just so happens that they know what they are doing.
They are known for their Soondae (Korea Blood Sausage) and Jok Bal (sliced pigs feet). I have only been here lunch so I have only tried their Soondae Gook, it was well seasoned, and enough Soondae in there to make me full.
The banchan selection ranges from 4 – 6 plates of assorted veggies, and kimchi.

I came here this past Saturday when it had been raining all day. I walked in to find an empty restaurant, short the owners having their lunch. They immediately came and helped me, though I told them I was getting take out.
I ordered the Yukgaejang (beef and leek soup). It was spicy, but a huge order. Not too bad for the $ 13 or so. Had I not been so hungry that day, it easily could’ve been a light lunch and leftovers for the next day.

I really enjoy adventures in Korean food in the Atlanta area. I’ve been meaning to head up to Duluth to try something new, and this place was recommended to me by a Korean coworker. Jang Choong Dong does not disappoint. This place reminded me more of the food I’ve eaten in Korea than many other restaurants in Atlanta.
First off, my group of three were the only non-​Korean people in the restaurant on a Friday night. That rates pretty high the the scale of «what white people like» when we go to ethnic restaurants. They had to hook us up with the waitress that actually speaks English!
The banchan is pretty good here, not my favorite in Atlanta but definitely solid. My group tried the pork bulgogi, the mandu guk and the dolsot bibimbap. One person didn’t want to try the jokbal, and the portions available for that were only very large so we decided to not get the restaurant’s namesake item. The bulgogi came out with lettuce leaves, bean paste, peppers and garlic to wrap (delicious). The dumplings for the mandu guk are supposedly homemade at the restaurant, and are quite good. The dolsot bibimbap is standard. The prices are reasonable (Korean in Atlanta is always a little high).
I’ll definitely come back to Jang Choong Dong sometime in the future… but I have a lot of other Korean places in Duluth on the list so it may be a while!

The yukgaejang here has all the requisite players including shredded tender beef, soft gosari and taro stems, leeks, bean sprouts, lots of stirred-​in beaten eggs, and in a few places, homemade clear, fat noodles. The deep red broth is bold and tasty, spicy, and savory. But what sets this place apart is their hand-​rolled noodles. For an upcharge of $ 2, you can have chewy noodles added to your soup. Fantastic.
