I was so impressed by ARIARI! Every dish was full of fresh, vibrant flavors and beautifully plated. The seafood and grilled items really stood out — everything was cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. The staff were super friendly and attentive, and the vibe of the place is modern yet comfortable. Such a great spot for dinner with friends or a nice date night! 🍶🍤✨

Dolsot is a must try. Seafood butter gui was notably fresh, forming a fond at the bottom that was great with the pita. Complimentary kimchi was addicting. Great service.

Food and service was excellent. First time eating Korean food thats not from a traditional style restaurant, and I was really impressed. Even their kimchi kimchi was addictively good. We visited on a busy Sat night so it was loud which is only drawback.

The food is 3/5. The staff was rushed. It’s worth checking out once but not worth visiting again. The dulk bulgogi is too sweet. The sea eel isn’t especial. Only the dolsot bap is worth trying - and don’t get the uni it wasn’t worth it. Oh yea and the portion is pretty small.

What an amazing restaurant! The staff was great and the meal was even better. Scallop diy gimbap is a must get alongside the Dolsot bap. Both were delicious beyond words!! The Maesil Highball is really good, tastes just like Choya Plum Wine (but better)!
The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a stylish East Village vibe that makes it perfect for both a casual night out or a special dinner. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out quickly and hot.

OMG this was the best Korean place I’ve ever been: the fried chicken was so tender, juicy and tasty. Loved the fact the staff kept on refilling our complimentary kimchi. The duck and the domburi were to die for. Incredibly lovely stuff — by far one of the best places I dined at in NYC.

Great streetside shop ambience. Perfect for a date night for fun interactions with the DIY Gimbap and pristine quality Kimchi.
Mackerel DIY Gimbap, the Hap-Cheon Pork Soup paired with a Makgeolli transported me to a place of delicious comfort and a throwback to a sea-side town haunt

This place is 100% worth the hype. Definitely make a reservation, they are SUPER popular! We started with cocktails; I loved both the Daraji and Kket-nip, $16 each. They were both delicious and strong with the former being ginger forward and the latter tasting just like a juicy peach. As for food, the famous Dolsot al-bap ($19) is a MUST GET. The uni cream is heavenly and the rice gets so creamy, yet crispy from the hot stone. The fried soft shell crab ($21) was good, but not as mindblowing as the Dolsot al-bap. The beef su-yook ($34) was the perfect way to round out the meal, with super tender beef and a light, refreshing broth. Even the house kimchi was amazing! Service was attentive and patient and I would absolutely be back.
Everything was amazing and would definitely come back. Highlights were definitely the scallop diy gimbap, steak tartare, fried chicken, and the eight treasures. The bread pudding at dessert was also incredible.

Took my girlfriend here for our anniversary based on good reviews on Infatuation. The wait staff was so incredibly kind to us, made the night very special, and gave us some free desserts for my girlfriend’s recent birthday. Was such a special night and we’ll definitely be back

One of the best Korean restaurants in Manhattan, hands down.
We ordered pork shoulder & stomach soup, fried sea eels, and seafood pancake. The flavors blended so well together and felt so complete, and the texture was right on point. I was especially impressed with the fried sea eels, a perfect combination of crunchy and soft, sweet and salty. I hadn't seen this dish anywhere else so credits to the restaurant's creativity.
Our waiter was very attentive, friendly and thoughtful. I brought a box coming in and he helped me put it away before dining. After we were done, he brought the box out along with a big paper bag (containing my leftover pancake) so that I could put my box in and carry it more easily. The lady who brought our receipt was very friendly as well.
Overall, incredible food and service! I'd love to come back and try other dishes on their diverse menu.
I arrived at the restaurant early to wait for my friend. My friend was still stuck in traffic and hadn't arrived yet. Besides, our reservation was for 5:30 and there were plenty of empty seats around. During the waiting period, a waiter urged me to order quickly, which made me feel particularly bad about the service.

Loved their fish sashimi & would come back just for this but wasn't the biggest fan of their beef tartare 🥺😭
Atmosphere was perfect! Make sure to order their plum soju!!! 🥰
