I never got the impression that Chinese food is upscale as a Korean. 짜장면 may as well be pizza and hot dogs for Koreans, for example. However, the Chinese cuisine meal I had for well over $300 / head in Choson hotel years ago was certainly nice. 12 year old me still asked for 짜장면 and they brought it over from across the street probably. It wasn't Golden Buddha I hope? That place is what celebrity chef David Chang probably would charmingly refer to as "bad" Chinese food that is addictive, and it's decided not nice by any stretch of the imagination. As an out of town Atlanta Korean I'm still clueless about what most Koreans know here ITP and what's around Duluth.

Had to go look it up, it was Fung Mei off of Pleasant Hill. Yes, they absolutely loved the Jajangmyeon. (짜장면 for those curious) I couldn't eat it. Now that I'm thinking about it, they didn't really describe Chinese food as upscale. But more as like a treat. We're super spoiled here in America with all these different kinds of cuisines. ITP the best Chinese restaurant IMO is Chong Qing Hot Pot in Chamblee. We had good meals at Northern China Eatery on Buford Highway, but Chong Qing is way better. I'll edit this with the best Korean restaurant when I can get back with my roomie on where it moved to. -- edit, sorry he doesn't know himself. But the original restaurant we used to go to is called Yet Tuh. The owner got fed up with the small space and moved the staff out to the sticks.
