A-Hyang

I love this place so much, I wish I could eat here everyday. I get the same two things each time -- the king size tonkatsu (HUGE and can feed 2-3 people and comes with delicious mac salad) and the bibim naengmyeon which is totally tolerable if you have a low spice tolerance. Get these two things, you will not regret it!

-staff was friendly -side dishes mid -donkatsu was too crunchy -army stew was a little bland and not spicy enough -bibimbap was watery

Despite my bad 1st experience here, I decided to return...to see if their much-touted Donkatsu lives up to the hype.I arrived super-early for lunch (11 am?), so was able to slide right in. As anticipated, I ordered their king-sized pork cutlets (AKA "Wang Donkatsu)...and WOAH, this was indeed a king-sized platter. HUGE!! Also, it came with a uniquely zesty house sauce/glaze.The verdict? Yep...it truly lived up to the hype! Not only incredibly generous in size (and value priced, considering the size, plus all the sides!), it was truly amazing! Possibly one of the best Katsu dishes I've ever had??This is a very quaint, mom 'n pops Korean restaurant...very popular with the locals. Their menu is awesome...and the foods are 100% legit. However, if I recall correctly, I felt "K-snobbed" on my 1st visit lol, so this time I tried my best to speak Korean (though my Korean is laughably bad!)...and I didn't even have to ask for a fork this time. They placed both fork and knife on the table!!! WOW. For that, I tipped them 25%. More and more, I noticed how most Asian restaurants are trying to skimp on placing forks on the table...even when we need it! Pet peeve, I guess?Really, the service was MUCH better this time around. I remember being really impressed with the foods here, despite the bad service on my first visit years ago...so I've been wanting to give them another try, and am SO glad I did!! Anyway, I was able to eat nearly half of the gigantic dish (btw, my dish looked MUCH more impressive in person than in pictures)...and doggy-bagged the rest for my husband (he loved it!). Totally worth ordering the king-sized plate!

If you love Korean Food, this is a must try! It's delicious & very authentic. The restaurant itself is not a big place, but the foods flavor is gigantic! The ambiance is cozy and authentic. The wait staff most speak Korean. They are all super nice and welcoming. My favorite thing to do at this restaurant is to bring a few friends and order 3 or 4 dishes and share. Everything is so good, that you will for sure want to try way more than one thing. The stone bowl soups are insanely delicious and arrive at your table hot and bubbling. The pork katsu is phenomenal. I haven't tried anything at this restaurant that I did not like. I highly recommend!!!

I had heard a lot of good things about the naengmyun here, which was delicious, but the star for me was honestly the katsu! Other than it being absurdly large, it was so so yummy. It was so crispy despite being practically drenched in sauce, and the meat inside was not dry at all. I do wish the macaroni salad had more acidity because the dish was overall very heavy. The bulgogi was ok in my opinion. It felt like the meat on top didn't have much seasoning/flavor. And you don't really get much of it until you reach the bottom layer of meat where the sauce has pooled. And the sotteok was addictive!

Love the food here and love the seating! If you are wanting good Korean food, here is a place worth going to._________________________________________________________PARKING & LOCATION |[This location is in pleasant hill area and is right next to Dan Mooji. When you go to the store, you have limited parking around the area, since it is in a shopping complex. This place can get packed on the weekends so be cautious of business hours.]_________________________________________________________EXTERIOR & INTERIOR |[The location is on the ground floor and you will be able to see their sign clear as day. They serve some creative and authentic Korean food, so you will love your time listening to their music choices and feel comfortable in their seats. It is very simple and doesn't have a huge design concept in their store, but it is of that Korean social style.]_________________________________________________________IS IT CLEAN? |[Pretty clean]_________________________________________________________FOOD & DRINKS |[The food here was authentic and amazing! Made me feel like I was back in Korea again, which says a lot. I got the Korean Pork Sausage Soup which is called sundaeguk. If you love blood sausage, which is a signature dish of Korea, you will love the soup, as it is a balance of pretty much everything. We also got dontkasu and, I believe, Galbi soup. Both were great as well as everything was fresh and warm. ]_________________________________________________________SERVICE ‍‍|[The service was simple and easy. Our server got our orders perfectly and was on point with the service.]_________________________________________________________OVERALL |[This place is perfect if you want some authentic or modern-style Korean food. It is perfect for first-timers who are trying Korean food for the first time, so I definitely recommend.]

The food is delicious and the service is good. The inside is also clean. I like the thin and crispy pork cutlet.

This is my third time visiting, and it is so consistently amazing and has become my top Korean restaurant personally. Parking is super easy as the plaza has a big parking lot. Once you enter the restaurant, the interior is cute and quaint, and the servers seat you really fast! I have never had to wait for anyone to seat me. I ordered the pork tofu soup, and my boyfriend got the jaeyuk bokum. Once we ordered, they delivered the ban chan out very quickly. Their kimchi is one of my favorites that I wish I can buy a container of it for myself. I love their fish cakes, and my boyfriend cannot get enough of their jelly. I also love their seaweed since it has such a nice sour flavor to it. You can ask for a refill on any of the banchan, and they will happily bring it out! With the jaeyuk bokum, a cup of bone broth also comes out with the banchan, and it is sooooo good. You can tell that they cook it for a long time. The jaeyuk bokum is a huge serving too. It comes with spicy pork and a lot of vegetables, and we can never finish it. For the pork tofu soup, do expect it to take a bit longer than the other dishes, but the wait is so worth it. It comes out piping hot, and the tofu soup comes with a raw egg that you can put into it. The soup had the right amount of pork in it, and the soup itself was just so comforting and one of the best tofu soups I had in the Atlanta area. I will definitely be coming back!

I ordered the pork cutlets upon hearing that it was their most popular item. The portion size is very large, and it tastes just like how it would be made in Korea. They also serve banchan which consists of kimchi, bean sprouts, and other pickled veggies. My friend ordered the budae jjigae, and he loved it. It was spicy and hearty with a lot of meat and other ingredients.

Large portions of food in a relaxed environment. All you need. Things you should know:I. PARKINGA-Hyang is within the Nukoa Plaza and shares a public, free lot with the other adjacent businesses. You'll always be able to find an available space. II. SERVICE Friendly and accommodating. Banchan is complimentary (of course) and they'll kindly restock you on more dishes if you ask. III. QUALITY Delicious and flavorful ~ we ordered Kimchi Sundubu. Not to mention that they serve a large quantity with your order as well..! That's always a huge plus. IV. CAPACITY Fairly busy for a Friday evening
