I live in Atlanta, Duluth is the ktown of Atlanta.

@sothyphuong1392 6 лет назад

Boomstick and Chinatown .

@TheABCKevin 6 лет назад

Sothy Phuong Yeah, but I would say Doraville has a bigger Chinatown

@JIMBO95 5 лет назад

Not anymore. Duluth is the new Ktown and soon to be chinatown!

@brandiholt8695 5 лет назад

Those koreans invaded and they r so rude

@knathanknathan 5 лет назад

TheABCKevin I think it’s little of both if you’re driving on the Main Street of Doraville but near the backroads near Chamblee is where the Food Court is at and the food is good but are cheap

@matthewkang 7 лет назад

Thanks for watching the FOURTH season of our Eater show, K-Town. We started out in LA's Koreatown but I always knew, in my mind, that this series had to go to Atlanta. I'd never been to Atlanta but just heard so many great things about the food scene, and honestly, the Korean food in ATL is as good as LA's...and as good as KOREA's. Atlanta should be proud of its amazing Korean food. I can't wait to share more of the finds in the next few weeks. Stay tuned!

@ShenardL 4 года назад

If you're ever back in Atlanta, try Duluth and Suwanee areas. Buford Highway was the Koreatown back in the 90s but it all moved up north now.

@joshjoshing 10 месяцев назад

@@ShenardLyeah I was hella confused when he labeled Buford highway as "koreatown". This might have been true in the 90's which was roughly thirty years ago. I stumbled upon this video thinking, maybe it was an old video but it's only 6 years which is fairly recent. People gonna be disappointed to visit Buford highway after watching this video for some good Korean food to find there are none. Smh😂

@71CH 7 лет назад

You messed up. You should have gone to Pleasant Hill Road in Duluth. That's where all the Koreans are.

@Redjacket14 7 лет назад

Keedai Kim should of gone to Iron Age he does love the kbbq

Agreed, Duluth is where the real K-Town is. Buford Hwy is really just a huge mixture of different cultures on one road. It still has great Korean food though.

@christianwright1114 7 лет назад

It's not bad. Your standard Korean BBQ so they are several restaurants just like it close by. A bit on the expensive side in my opinion, but still a viable option for Korean BBQ.

@-EchoesIntoEternity- 7 лет назад

Honey Pig is a chain, you can find them in other major cities

@carolinapatino5642 4 года назад

Duluth is great, but so is anything on Buford Highway. Yet Tuh will always have a special place in my heart. My husband and I had our first date there, and then a year later her proposed to me there. I love everything that I've eaten there.

@Laaaa 7 лет назад

Nice, I never heard of this Korean restaurant on Buford Hwy. I mainly just go where my Korean friends suggest so this will be cool to check out. I think he (or Eater) should do a whole series (just a couple of episodes) on Atlanta Korean food, especially in Duluth where the real K-Town is.

@tle7812 7 лет назад

it seems like Asians only do Asian food for some reason. I wonder if it's a comfort zone thing because white people have no problem doing Asian food. It's done all the time on youtube. Lots of white guys go to Asian countries and Asian restaurants in America but Asian guys ONLY do Asian foods, both in America and in Asia.

@BeyondKickboxing 7 лет назад

@Viet Le Huh? You got Lucas doing reviews on everything on this channel and Eddie Huang at munchies. There are tons of asian food reviewers doing reviews of everything.

@darkfire565 7 лет назад

@tle7812 7 лет назад

Lucas is half white. Eddie Huang is internationally reknowned. The point holds true for about 90% of the popular vloggers on youtube.

Buford hwy in doraville is no longer k town for the last 15 years. I'm of Korean descent and grew up here in Atlanta. All the best Korean restaurants are in Duluth and Suwanee. And today, the Korean population has exploded.

@dyddnjs47 7 лет назад

ATL 2nd best korean food in the country after LA

@truly7305 7 лет назад

There are definitely a high concentration of Korean restaurants there on Buford highway, but there is also an extremely high concentration of Chinese, Vietnamese, Malaysian and Mexican restaurants, some of which the best of what the city of Atlanta has to offer(and I would argue some of the best in the southeast). Buford hwy is less a "k-town" and more of a melting pot of a lot of different ethnic cuisines. You want Korea town, go to Duluth/Johns Creek.

@tle7812 7 лет назад

If it's a family style meal where each person gets a rice bowl and several main dishes are in the middle, chopsticks are necessary to pick up the food. You're going to pick up fish with a spoon? Big chunks of meat and large vegetables? No. In Korea and Japan where banchan is very normal and where you get like half a dozen side dishes a spoon just isn't going to cut it. Stop being so ignorant.
