Good Meal at YGF Malatang
On my quest to finally try the renowned jajangmyeon at @jbistro_ga, nestled near the Doraville/Chamblee border, I encountered an unexpected hiccup—they're closed on Wednesdays! This twist of fate led me to explore @ygfmalatangatlanta one of the many intriguing dining options within the H Mart shopping center. They have locations worldwide, many in Asia, another in Duluth.

A Unique Malatang Experience
While I may not be an expert on the historical origins of dishes, I can certainly discern what's tasty. YGF Malatang offers a distinctly different experience compared to the malatang I've enjoyed at Hunan Garden. Here, you can craft your meal by selecting from a variety of proteins, vegetables, and noodles at their food bar. You then choose your broth and are charged by the pound. From lobster balls and mussels to spam, the range of protein options is impressive. I indulged in almost every protein available.

One thing I’d do differently next time is limit myself to one type of noodle. I tried 3-4 different noodles, with udon being a personal favorite. On the recommendation of the friendly staff, I opted for the beef bone broth, which I would definitely order again. While it doesn’t quite earn an “I’d rush back” status, it certainly receives my seal of approval.

Asking the Atlanta Grubber Community
I find myself throwing more questions your way than ever before. Do you have a favorite broth or noodle at YGF Malatang? And as I mentioned my main dish at J-Bistro, do you have a favorite appetizer there that I should try? With so many Asian restaurants in that shopping center alone, what other spots should be on my must-try list?

Join the conversation and share your recommendations! Let's explore the vibrant culinary scene together.

Atlanta Grubber, your Caucasian Asian, has a new tie for favorite Asian restaurant in Metro Atlanta... and it might just be my favorite restaurant of any kind. 🍜
The newest X’IAN Gourmet House is now open in Johns Creek on Medlock Bridge Road, making one of Atlanta’s best Chinese spots even more convenient.
My must-orders:
🥢 Cumin Lamb Biang Biang Noodles
🥢 Pork Biang Biang Noodles
🥟 Lamb Dumplings
Don’t expect fine dining—it’s casual kiosk ordering. Do expect food that’s earned a loyal following long before the awards and recognition rolled in.
Have you been to the new Johns Creek location yet? What’s your go-to order?

Not sure but Konala is the spot you need to check out‼️ They just opened their first East Coast location in Belleville and this is perfect if you’re looking for a healthy meal and a way to get more protein and macros in 🔥💪🏻🙌🏻 Go check out their new location out, try a bowl, and hit the bio link for more on Konala 👀

Finally tried this nyc style deli that y’all have been raving about

Y’all did say that the Euless location is a hit or miss and it was DEFINITELY A MISS the time I went. Idk if they were having a bad day but there was barely any flavor in the chicken parm or the chopped cheese..despite it having fresh buns

Probably not a spot I would visit again. At least not this location..

Rating:
Chicken parm - 5.5
Chopped cheese - 5.0

It’s not a sandwich, but what a fabulous breakfast from @wiseacreeatery. There have to be at least 10 just-harvested vegetables on this plate, all from the restaurant’s farm, located about 45 minutes west of the Twin Cities. Oh, and the eggs! So rich and creamy, and fresh from the farm’ s chickens. Toss in a crazy-beautiful patio (it helps that the nursery across the street is an affiliated business) that’s so full of blooms that I’m barely noticing being under the busy MSP flight path, and this is one lovely morning. #breakfast #goodmorning #farmtotable Less
