ABOUT US

Jang Dok Dae opened its doors in 2008 in Duluth, Georgia. Our recipes have been in the Bea Family for generations and stem from a simple idea “The best dishes are made with Love.” Since then, Jang Dok Dae has made a name for itself as a go-to Korean restaurant in Gwinnett county, serving phenomenal Korean Stews & Soups (국 & 탕) and original Korean meats with a family style speedy serve shop experience.

Our select dishes are prepared using the freshest ingredients, and handcrafted broths go through an extensive slow simmer process for 72 hours and made from scratch. To get the same top-of-the-line taste that Koreans love, we even use a water filtration process that replicates the water used in Korea. We use the same traditional process for making our dishes since the Joseon Dynasty.

Our mission is to deliver warmth and nourishment with every dish served and every interaction had. We are committed to consistency and the perfect bite in every spoon. Respect and dignity are at the core of our team, and we bring those values each and every day.

The dishes that prove it

Start here.

The bowls our regulars come back for — slow-cooked, broth-forward, and hard to find done this well anywhere in the metro.

The namesake

Fermented soybean stew

청국장 · Cheonggukjang

Fermented soybean stew

Funky, deep, and alive — fermented in-house. The dish the name was made for, and not a lot of places still make it.

The lineage

Korean ox bone soup

설렁탕 · Seolleongtang

Korean ox bone soup

Bones simmered milky-white for hours, from our New York gomtang lineage. Clean, rich, restorative.

The wellness bowl

Samgyetang ginseng chicken soup

삼계탕 · Samgyetang

Ginseng chicken soup

A whole young chicken stuffed with rice, ginseng, and garlic. The original Korean cure-all — seasonal.
