“This was my first experience with Korean food and it did not disappoint. Everything was freshly made by the mother and son who own and operate the restaurant. The beef dumplings were melt in your mouth delicious and fresh. The chicken with sweet onions I could eat every day. The portions are large... definitely enough for a meal or two the next day. The overall experience was fantastic.“

“I have ate multiple times at this restaurant and the service and food was fantastic! The food was hot and seasoned to perfectio“

“So delicious my first time there“

“We ordered the tangsuyuk, jjajangmyeon, and jjamppong. The flavors were all pretty standard, but the prices were very reasonable, which I really appreciated. The tangsuyuk especially stood out since it was fried in fresh oil. It tasted clean and light. Overall, a solid spot for a simple and affordable meal.“

“This is one of my favorite spot! The bowl taste absolutely delicious, purple rice and glass noodles with grill chicken or Steak bowl taste so good! Plus triple A sauces! Super Delicious!! Service was excellent too! Definitely come back again soon! Thank you very much!“

“Pretty good Korean style place. HUGEEE portions and HUGEEE menu of Korean classics to choose from. We got beef bulgogi and spicy cod soup. Huge mound of piping hot beef with rice and some small sides. Fish soup had huge whole slices of fish in it! At first I was unsure of the cost but you definitely get what you pay for. I was very full. Flavor wise it was all quite good! You can tell the food was made to order and not just reheated. Update: Pictures when we came back for takeout for bulgogi and Tteok-bokki with noodles. Beef still excellent and the noodle dish wowww so soft so good.

There is not a lot of Korean food around here, so we will certainly be back! They have some other items too like chicken katsu and omurice if you want that. I will try the hot bibimbap next time.

You can eat in the food court they have kiosks to order dine in or takeout and large photos on TV screen. Relatively clean.

Also please remember this is a food court takeout establishment. Some reviewers giving low stars but with expectation of Michelin grade flavors, I don’t understand it. I eat a lot of Asian food and thought this was pretty good. Lots of Korean and Asian people also eating around dinner time so also another good sign the locals like it. It reminds me of my trip to Korea.

Edit: if you need a takeout box for 25 cents maybe just go to the ATM take out $20 and buy a cheap drink or snack (of which there are many many many good ones) and ask for a quarter??? All done within 5 minutes or less. Anyways those two low reviews should actually be the proof you need that the portions are not tiny.“

“So good and flavorful! Love the various options and the packaging! Food was fresh and delicious! Delivery was quick! We will surely be repeat customers!“

“Amazing experience, food was perfecto and nice experience. 100 % Recommended!“

“love it here! great asian options in a comfy location!“

“We had a fantastic lunch at Arirang, a lovely Korean spot on a quiet shopping strip. On a calm weekday afternoon, we were served five classic Korean side dishes-including kimchi, potatoes, and seaweed salad. We loved the seafood tofu soup and the BBQ pork; everything was incredibly flavorful! The portions are huge, the service was as friendly as it was efficient.“

“Good food, love the salad, and good service!“

“Stayed at a local hotel and ordered from Door Dash. SECRET SPICY CHICKEN was great. Pretty much like General Tso's Chinese but a tad spicier. Large pieces of good quality chicken, even the medium order was too much for me. Pair it with steamed white rice, put the rice in the sauce. Very good.“

“I love this place for the vibe and the fact that it stays open until 2:00 a.m. is a huge bonus. Sometimes I’m just so hungry late at night and there’s nowhere else open. Weekends are especially fun when other diners get into the karaoke. It creates such a lively and welcoming atmosphere.

On my first visit, our server was named Vicky (or Vicki) she was super sweet, very attentive, and made us feel comfortable the entire time. Overall, just a great server!

The food was decent, and I’ll definitely be coming back, mostly for the awesome late-night energy and fun vibe.“
