ARIARI is a cozy Korean restaurant with a vibrant atmosphere that enhances the overall dining experience. The menu is compact, making it easy to choose delicious dishes without feeling overwhelmed. The seafood offerings are particularly impressive, with many reviews praising the Korean seafood for its variety and flavor. From light and refreshing to rich and buttery, the seafood provides a wide range of tastes. The kimchi is described as unique and creamy, adding to the authentic experience.
A must-try starter is the scallop DIY gimbap, where diners can create their own bites with seaweed, paired with a great combination of sauces that give an incredible umami mouthfeel. For entrees, the dolsot al-bop features the uni flavor in bibimbop served in a sizzling bowl, while the fried soft-shell crab is highly recommended.
The desserts also stand out, with the sweet corn crème brûlée creatively paired with white chocolate, making it a highlight of the meal. Despite some small issues, such as feeling rushed by servers to clear plates and present the bill, the food quality and attentive staff make the experience worthwhile. Reservations are advised for a good time, as the restaurant offers a unique and enjoyable dining experience.
