Arirang Korean Bbq

Best kimchi I have ever tasted! Whatever their kimchi recipe is, it's delicious! They also have very tasty japchae, and the spicy pork was perfect. I have been to many Korean restaurants, all over the United States, and when I was stationed in Korea with the US Army, and I can attest, this restaurant's food was remarkably spectacular.

As her first customers (our whose name I sadly didn’t catch) gave us top tier service. Compared to other Korean BBQ establishments I’ve been to, this is top tier. I will forever give this establishment my business! The lady even gave free macaroons for my birthday! I was so happy to be here. She helped with cooking the meats, gave amazing side dishes. Unlimited refills on tap! (Unlike other places) and great selections of appetizers (meals in themselves). WILL be back!

Adding truly delicious food to a night out with friends is the best kind of night and Arirang did just that. The bulgogi was sweet and delicious, we opted for the not spicy version, and it held its shape when cooked. I've had bulgogi that basically dissolved and became a gritty mess before and this was not like that. The teriyaki chicken was flavorful and juicy before dipping it into the teriyaki sauce that came on the side, it's wasn't marinated beforehand, and I found that I enjoyed it that way. With the sauce it was equally delicious, but while the sauce was a pretty good balance of sweet, salty, and savory, I don't think I'd like my chicken covered in it. I'd never had chadol before and I have to say that the thinly sliced beef brisket was super delicious and one of my favorite meats of the night. Another offering that I hadn't tried before was the pork moksal which were larger pieces of pork that took quite a long time to cook. They were on the chewy side, but in a really pleasant way for me. The flavor was a bit of a surprise because it tasted deeper than pork but not rich like beef...somewhere in between that was really awesome. This will go on my regular choices whenever I visit here again. Our last meat choice was the obvious samgyupsal, the fatty pork belly. It was thick and delicious and really good when dipped in the sesame oil, salt, and pepper as well as the richer medium savory sauce. I'm sure it would be awesome with the spicier sauce too, but with no gallbladder I'm forced to limit my spice intake (*cue crying emoji). The ddeokbokki was a little spicier than I anticipated but the heat in my mouth dissipated really quickly and I was able to enjoy every single bite. This was a truly delicious meal and I'm really, really glad someone recommended this place to me. The A set on its own is only available for lunch at $24.95, but set B (which includes all the offerings in set A and B) is offered all day for $27.95, as well as set C (which includes all three sets of meat choices) being offered all day for $32.95. Set C is where you'll find L.A. Galbi and the steak selections. Fountain drinks are Pepsi products and are free refills, the Coca-Cola products come in cans and are not free refills. They have a decent selection of sake and soju as well. We didn't leave room for dessert, which is not included in the AYCE set meals. I'll absolutely give this place another visit the next time I'm in town.
