Chung Dam

Food was soooo tasty. The service was friendly and efficient. We had the short rib and bulgogi. The sides were different from what we are used to but very tasty. Did I mention tasty? They gave us a small yogurt drink with the check. Friendly place.

Chung Dam restaurant stands out as one of the premier dining spots in Atlanta's Korean town. It's my go-to choice for hosting non-Korean business partners and colleagues due to its consistent excellence since its establishment. Today, we had lunch here after attending a funeral mass at church. The lunch spread was incredibly generous, offering a diverse range of dishes including Korean traditional pancake (전), Kalbi, grilled fish (가자미구이), and 오징어볶음, accompanied by Soju. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience marked by a pleasant atmosphere, attentive service, and delicious food. Personally, I found the overall taste slightly saltier than my preference, but I acknowledge that taste preferences vary. Nonetheless, the pancake and Kalbi stood out to me as particularly outstanding in flavor.

My friends invite me here once because he said " their lunch box is awesome, you definitely want to try out。" First impression of restaurant, the waitress are so zealous and friendly said" an ne ha se yo" and make me very warm and feel like at home ha 。( )。First we got some side dishes like Kimichi, bean sprouts, broccoli, mush potato.I personally don't like cabbage, but others are fine to me 。haha sorry ? I am a little bit picky ha. The main course is lunch box, it come with teriyaki salmon, I like this one taste very tender and great.Then it comes with white rice, I have to say the korean white rice tastes better than regular that I cooked at home。I don't know why？Did anyone feel the same way ? Also come with Japchae, friend dumpling, and tempura veggies, miso soup and ginger salad。The nutrition is very balanced you know, make me feel healthy and satisfyied。w(ﾟﾟ)w, Last one is Seafood Bimbimbap, I love it , I will come back next time and enjoy the lunch box again 。(・・)ノ

Ambient restaurant with seating that allows privacyThings you should know:I. PARKINGChung Dam is right of the HMart Plaza, so the massive shared parking lot out front has a lot of availability for your car.II. SERVICE We were seated in a room. No bell was available to ring for a waitress, so we physically had to get up multiple times since they don't check on you here. Once you order, the food comes out fairly quick. III. QUALITYWe enjoyed the banchan and I highly recommend trying the Braised Butterfish ~ it is so tenderly cooked it'll melt in your mouth. You can buy it alone as an entree or order it as a "family" option. IV. CAPACITY Fair amount of available seating at lunch time.

I dined at Chung Dam several times this year. The food is pretty pricy, but it is always consistent. I tried several soup and meat entrees, and the staff always made them slightly more spicy as I had requested.

This place has changed over the years but at the end of the day, still a solid old school Korean BBQ spot that does the classics right. Galbijjim (both sweet pumpkin and regular) very tasty. Seollongtang is good (not the best but not the worst) and the doenjang jjigae has just enough funk. Not the fanciest of settings but they have so many private rooms that my immigrant Korean parents will often go there just for this.

We all drove far OTP, all the way to Duluth really just wanted to get hold of Tiger Sugar. But we were far too shocked from seeing the lines looping around the store and behind. We were not going to head back to the city and I suggested to everyone we could check out the Hmart here. One of us said we could even find a restaurant in the area. We agreed and parked at the Hmart parking lot. Then another suggested we could check out the Korean bbq restaurant that looked like a huge restaurant from the outside. The staff greeted us upon entering, spoke to us in Korean, and took our temperature. Looking around, I realized almost all the patrons were Koreans. This definitely was a positive sign, meaning the place would not be too bad and legit. The staff led us in and seated us in a room. Woo-hoo!! One of us said they must have thought I am Korean. I said can't be, Korean girls are fair and pretty. Another staff came, greeted us and gave me the menu while speaking in Korean. Realizing I do not speak Korean, she spoke in good English. We all decided to opt for the unlimited kbbq. The same staff went away and prepared the meat.SERVICE 5/5The same staff actually was going to be the one doing the grilling for us. She was super nice, very attentive and helpful. I like her service way more than those I encountered at Ms Gogi and Kfactory bbq. Maybe those staffs were younger and more aloof. This staff was really nice like my mom, though my mom would not be the one grilling any meat for us. AMBIENCE 5/5We all love the room. It would be a bit tight if there were 6 of us. The room actually sits 6 persons. FOOD 5/5The meat was of high quality. I love the Bulgogi the most. The banchan given was more than generous and of a huge variety compared to Ms Gogi and Kfactiry. The steamed egg was delicious. That soybean stew at the end of our bbq session was to die for. They also offered free hot barley tea.I definitely recommend anyone to check out Chung Dam if you are in the area. I would be happy to go kbbq again when I am in the area. 5 stars from me to Chung Dam :) 04.03.2021

Worst restaurant ever !!!!! Service was pool and food is ridiculous. I paid over $100 lunch time, but food quality and service is like McDonald's.

I lived in Korea for 5 years and Chung Dam takes me back there every time I visit. It is by far my favorite Korean restaurant in Atlanta and among my top 3 in the United States. The food is authentic and properly seasoned. The staff is helpful and friendly. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and reminds me of the restaurants I would go to for business meetings in Korea. It's a treat I plan for every time business takes me to Atlanta.

This was the first time me and my family went here. The service was amazing and the food tasted incredible! The staff were extremely nice! 100% Recommended!
