The owner of the long running former Korean cold noodle joint in Duluth has quietly opened another Korean resto that specializes in pork bone soups. This joint is a chain from Korea that has been opening up in the Northeast (NY/NJ) area with a pretty strong following and now the first location outside can be found here in Atlanta. This place does not have an English name except "Korean Restaurant" on the front signage but secretly known to ex-pats as Don Soo Baek (translate to something like eat pork and you will live to 100)... Shit, why stop at a 100 years old? I say to 104 at least... Then wrap me in bacon and honey and roast me like a little suckling piglet.
You may think this is a Korean BBQ joint when you peek at the round metal cover thinger on the tables but it's just an electric heat element coil for the soup pots and what nots that's coming out from the kitchen in giant bowls. Nothing is in English, so you're basically shit outta luck... Unless you know Spanish, you know, to get the busboys to clear the dirty plates off the table so more shit can be brought out. I'm telling you, you will run out of space on the large tables in no time.
This is just the beginning... By the end of the meal, shit was stacked two high.
Blood sausage, pig tongue, ears, liver, stomach and pork belly. Holy shit, yo! This was G U U D... Especially, the pork belly, shit melted in your mouth. Squirt.
Giant bowl of spicy pork bone soup that can feed 4 peeps easily... Meat was super tender and fell right off the bones and the spices used were super fragrant with large chunks of potatoes. And no joke at $10. Yeah, fucking 10 clams for this bowl of Ms. Piggy love.
Pork bone soup with a variety of thinly sliced meats and offal inside it, the stickiness from the collagen from the bones were so flavorful. Shit is good for you, too. We got another bowl with blood sausage and offal. The bone soup has been simmering for 20+ hours in this giant cauldron of pig bones and parts like whole heads and penis (this makes it cloudy supposedly from what I hear). This could be one amazing tonkotsu broth. Damn, yo, get some friggin hand made noodles in the house.
Giant mandoos the size of an average human's fist. The girth is quite impressive, but as with all things with girth this size... They are almost impossible to fit a fist in one's oral or anal cavity, let alone swallowing it. The seasoned mandoo eaters should have no problem taking it all in up to the elbows. These were quite good but if they made it half the size, it would please more women and some men.
We finished off with one of the owner's famous cold noodle... I miss his old cold noodle joint in Nukoa Plaza. The best cold noodle in town.
They just opened for like a week and the shit is this good already, imagine when they get their routine and groove on. They will also have a special (I think 4 orders per day or some shit like that) of pig face cuts... All different selections from his face! I fucking love face meat.
