This was my first time eating Korean food and it was absolutely amazing! I had the hot Bibimbap and ate every bit of it. I would have licked the bowl, but my tongue would have burned...lol! Thank you for the delicious food. I can't wait to see y'all again soon!
I've been coming to Arirang Korean Restaurant for years, but after this visit, I won't be returning. I went in with my mom, wife, and baby boy, expecting a great meal like we used to have here. Unfortunately, the experience was nothing short of disappointing.
First, after taking our order, the server noticed my son and pinched his cheeks--making him cry. Then, she offered him a lollipop... to an 11-month-old baby. Completely inappropriate.

I have been here multiple times and always left pleased. This was not the case last night. I’ll admit it’s been a while since I’ve been, but the experience was significantly different. The service was less pleasant. I felt like I was bothering them by being there. I’d been served a variety of kimchi as part of the meal in the past.

Arirang Restaurant offers authentic Korean food with well-prepared meals and amazing side dishes. It is a small, casual eatery housed in an old building, which adds to its cozy charm. The restaurant is clean and welcoming, though the tables and chairs are not modern. Despite some issues with service speed and limited staff, the staff, including the greeter who also serves as the only waiter, tries their best to serve everyone. The menu features dishes like soft tofu stew, which is served bubbling in a marble bowl with fish broth, vegetables, tofu, squid, oysters, and shrimp—an outstanding choice. The crispy dumplings and banchan provide great crunch and cool contrast to hot dishes. Customers appreciate the generous side dishes, especially the banchan, which is considered some of the best around. While the beef ribs are just okay, the overall experience makes it worth a visit. It’s a good place to share Korean cuisine with friends and family, especially for those wanting to explore another culture through food.
