Just ate at Arirang Korean Restaurant and really enjoyed it. The staff gave off a warm husband-and-wife vibe (that’s just a guess could be totally wrong), and the food was excellent. We had the Bulgogi + Galbi beef combo, in case you’re wondering, Galbi are Korean short ribs, both Bulgogi and Galbi have always been a longtime favorite of mine, we also got the Yukgaejang, a spicy beef soup with egg, vegetables, and vermicelli noodles (I did not try so I cannot speak to the flavor, I’m not a big into noodles of soup).
Both my dishes were flavorful and well prepared.
The dining room has large windows that let in lots of natural light and a pleasant view; I liked the plant by the window. The ambiance is simple rather than elaborate, but the friendly atmosphere and great food more than made up for it.
I recommend giving Arirang a try. As always for a more detailed review and photos, visit SquareZones as I tried to provide long form blog reviews there.

Hands down the best Korean restaurant in Ann Arbor.
If you're looking for a truly authentic, healthy, comforting Korean meal, this is the place to go. I'm a repeat customer, and everything I've tried on the menu has been superb. The food truly feels healing to the soul, perfect for you and your loved ones. Their stone bowl bibimbap and jjajangmyeon are especially outstanding. And the restaurant owner is especially kind to every one.

It is not a fake Korean food but a genuine K-food place in town. First I didn't expect it would be delightful but they know how to cook properly Korean dishes.

Great food and even better service! The hot bowl bibimbap with beef was awesome, and everything tasted fresh. Huge thanks to Poom — super friendly and always one step ahead. He noticed what I needed before I even asked. Definitely coming back!

Very nice first experience here! Seafood pancake and dolsot bibimbap were A+, with good banchan. Very straightforward, good food and service. If you are looking for more of a high energy atmosphere this may not be for you. I enjoyed how laid back and simple it was.

Best Korean in the area. 2 highest recommendations are Bibimbap , and tasty Kalbi! Cheers
The food overall was good and the seafood was delicious. I'd recommend the hot stone bibimbap. Decent portions and menu selections. Small dining area but worth it.

Under new management. We noticed less salt and spiciness in the grilled mackerel, Kim Chee and soup, all of which were fine for us. Happy with the western pork bone cuts so I had a good amount of meat and potatoes in the Pork bone soup entree! Hubby loved his good portion of grilled Mackeral. Be careful of the bones but we are well trained to spit out the tiny bones.And the restaurant was generous with the Banchan, a plus for us. Will return again for sure!
