Jang Dok Dae,
since 2001.
Founded in 2001 to bring the true taste of Seoul to Georgia, Jang Dok Dae began with a simple belief: food should taste the way Koreans expect it to. Owner Mia Bea started her culinary journey in New York City as a trusted member of the team at NY Gom Tang — one of the earliest and most established Korean restaurants on the East Coast. That training shaped everything we serve: authentic recipes, proper technique, and the patience that good Korean cooking demands.
The name 장독대 is the platform where families keep their earthenware jars — where soy, doenjang & kimchi ferment slowly into deep flavor. That patience is our whole philosophy.
A few decades in
Mia Bea earns her stripes at NY Gom Tang, learning East Coast Korean classics from the ground up.
Jang Dok Dae opens in Duluth to serve Gwinnett's Korean community real homestyle cooking.
A go-to favorite for Korean families and longtime locals — known for generous banchan and bubbling hot pots.
