wow great fun take on traditional busan style food.
I thought the Spicy Monkfish was very flavorful and good and the dolsot albap was surprisingly very tasty. Im usually not the biggest fan of albap but this was not too fishy and the crispy rice on the bowl was very pleasant and went well with the dish.
Duck bulgogi probably least special and ok to skip but not bad.

Ordered the creamy Al-bap, crab udon, beef soup. Everything was delicious
The service here is amazing—the staff is patient, friendly, and genuinely nice, which made the entire meal so pleasant. The beef soup is easily the best I’ve had in all of New York. Rich, flavorful, and completely spot on. The experience here was night and day compared to K-town, where waiters just stand around with cold attitudes and do nothing.

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 and notably fresh seafood butter gui. From light and refreshing to rich and buttery, the seafood provides a wide range of tastes. The kimchi is described as unique and creamy and addicting, 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 is a must try and 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. The staff were super friendly and attentive, and the food quality and service make the experience worthwhile. Reservations are advised for a good time, as the restaurant offers a unique and enjoyable dining experience, though it can be loud on a busy night.
