"This popular Korean restaurant offers much more than Korean barbecue, but the meats are definitely worth checking out. Bulgogi, kalbi, thinly-sliced beef tongue, and nearly 20 more proteins are on offer, all of which pair perfectly with an array of banchan." - Amy McCarthy

We love the Galbi-tang and seafood pancake. Delicious. I was not impressed with the lunch box because I was expecting California rolls or something else. We were in the beginning asking for the BBQ menu but that set menu special for $34.95 per person is only offered to group of people at least 4 or 5 people

Went on a Friday late night and surprisingly it wasn't super busy so we didn't have to wait for a table. Instead of having Korean BBQ, we ordered dishes instead. Everything was really good. All the servers were very attentive. My favorite was Spicy Pork. Seafood Pancake was good too but make sure you finish it at the restaurant because it'll become really chewy if you take it to go. Will definitely try their BBQ next time.

I'm not a big Korean food fan but this place was super expensive like $90 for one of their steaks and $2.50 for a can of soda. I ended up getting their chicken teriyaki and their dumplings and both were extremely bland and I couldn't finish either, my friend who loves Korean food even complained about the blandness. Two things they did right were the presentation of the food and their service was excellent but at the price of their food it should be

Love, Love this Korean restaurant! Everytime we visit Carrollton we make a point to eat here (and will probably go twice this time) The food is very tasty, quick to the table, you can cook your own if you want at the table. Service is fast, polite, and friendly! This time we had Chop Chae (this is phonetic) and one of my favorites, plus b-bque short ribs. For those who love Korean food, the selection of Kimchi side dishes is fantastic!

My fav go-to tour-stop from casual Korean food with friends. Lunch they have a self serve salad bar. I like the privacy of the partition layout atmosphere. They have family style dishes with sides. In the summer usually go for the cold noodle dishes or eel on a skillet. If you crave BBQ, to cook it yourself there is a minimum of two orders. If you are eating solo, you can have one order, but the kitchen will cook it for you.

Great Korean place! The staff was very attentive, the food was mouthwatering 🤤🤤 I ordered a plate of bulgogi and my husband had a plate of chadelbagi (spelled that wrong). It was delicious 😋

Food was delicious. We had a waiter who couldn't really translate anything in English for us or recommend anything was the only downfall for our first time to try the place.

The meat was average and lacked flavor. Note: You are paying for each dish separately, so it's not a AYCE Korean BBQ place. The banchan dishes were good but they had ran out of pickled cucumbers before we even got any. For 2 people and 3 meat dishes, it was just over $100 before any drinks. Will not go back. There are too many other KBBQ's around that are much better.

Being from LA, we're extra critical of Korean food since Ktown in Los Angeles is pretty unbeatable. Ari was legit. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality, the service and vibe here on a busy Saturday night. The combos are the way to go if you're looking for a solid sampling of meats. They come with all the sides and kbbq supplements, including jigaes (soups), salad, corn, egg, banchans. It was a fun experience. Great for small and large parties.

Ari is the restaurant we frequent most. I started becoming aware of this when a majority of servers (who are all super friendly- one reason for the stars ) were saying some version of "welcome back" whenever we showed up. Admittedly, it was after hearing "wow twice in one week!" that I realized a review was overdue. Having tried a lot of Korean (and other kinds of) BBQ, this one stands out for me. Everything at Ari is consistently very good, and that reliability is the first thing I think of. Like many other Korean bbq, Ari has a selection of meats to choose from. While we have some favorites (seasoned prime short rib) all of them are very good. I love the soybean soup and the salad with its very tasty dressing. The egg and cheese corn which cook alongside the grill seem to always be kept full. I don't know what all the sides are other than kimchi and my favorite pickled radish, but there are many. While water is provided, we like to ask for the buckwheat tea as well. Service is really good here- servers are very friendly and attentive- which for me earns an extra star.

The food at Ari is solid. I normally eat at Ari with family, and every type of meat is delicious. I also love that you get a bottomless serving of side salad consisting of spring mix lettuce, as well as the usual side dishes (banchan) that are typically served at Korean restaurants. A cool feature here is the space on the borders of the grill for cooking eggs and cheese with corn. The kids especially seem to love them. I'm finally writing this review because, after frequenting the Plano location of Ari countless times, we recently came to the Carrollton location, and I could not help but notice the impeccable service. Our server made sure we always had eggs and cheese with corn cooking on the side, and we never had to ask for more water. In fact, I don't recall having to ask the server for refills or extras of anything. Kudos to the staff at the Carrollton Ari. I highly recommend this place for anyone craving Korean barbeque.

One of the best Korean BBQ in town. Excellent combo set, meats are delicious and well marinated. We had wonderful services tonight. The servers take good care of us like VIP guests. Atmosphere is amazing with the special extender hood... amazing !

One of the best meals I've had in my visit to Dallas. Parking wasn't bad at all and we got seated right away on a Friday evening. Although I hear wait times can be high so a reservation is typically suggested. Definitely higher quality meats than what I had at the AYCE places. You definitely get what you pay for here and prices can be a bit higher than most places I've been in Houston and it's worth it. I really like the short ribs and pork belly, the banchan/and soup were okay, can't go wrong with the rice/kimchi/meat combo, and also like how they attached the eggs/corn on the side of the grill. Service was attentive and they even help cooked the meats for us. I liked how the grill is setup closer to the edge so the waiters can reach and cook fairly easily. Overall a great experience, can definitely see myself coming back next time I'm in town.

This is the best KBBQ spot I've been too! We recently ordered the beef combination. The quality of the meat was great, the sides included were tasty, and there were enough seasonings/sauces to make everything really enjoyable. The sake selection is nice, we ordered yakult soju that was good and easy to drink. The waitress was sweet and attentive. I will definitely be back!

Best Korean bbq in the dfw. Get the beef combo and visit the bar beforehand if stopping by on a weekend. Great spot for small or big groups!

I wasn't going to leave a review since my brother recently left one, but I feel it's important to share my experience. This was the first time in my dining history that I felt truly uncomfortable due to poor service. At first, everything was fine. The server greeted us, asked if we had been there before, took our drink orders, and gave us time to decide. He even made a joke about root beer, which I played along with. However, when I politely asked, 'Is it cool if we cook for ourselves?' his demeanor subtly changed. He initially responded politely, so we didn't think much of it, but looking back, it seemed to offend him. While I don't feel obligated to explain why we wanted to cook for ourselves, management should consider that some customers may feel more comfortable doing so. After that, service declined significantly. For 20-30 minutes, no one checked on us. At first, I assumed our server was giving us space, but it's basic service etiquette to check on guests, offer refills, and see if they need anything else. Despite empty water bottles, side dishes, and drinks, no one asked if we wanted refills. We had intended to order more meat but couldn't because no one came by to take additional orders. When Alex finally returned, it was only to make a passive-aggressive comment: 'Hey, I heard you guys broke the grill!' At the time, my cousin and I thought he was joking, but in hindsight, it seemed pointed. When I asked, 'Does this happen often?' he replied, 'With you, yeah. Us? No.'--which caught us off guard. Even after that interaction, service did not improve. We placed our empty water bottles at the table's edge to make it clear that we needed refills, yet no one came. It felt like we were overlooked, and the staff seemed aware but made no effort to improve the experience. When we left, the hosts at the front didn't acknowledge us or say something along the lines of thank you for coming or have a good night, reinforcing the overall poor service experience. I'm not sure if Alex assumed that us cooking for ourselves meant we wouldn't tip or if our age played a role in the lack of service. Ironically, we thought we were helping by taking some of the workload off since it was a busy Saturday night. Regardless of the reason, this level of service is unprofessional. It reflects poorly on both the staff and management--how can you hire someone who doesn't respect the customers who contribute to their paycheck? I'm not here to argue that 'the customer is always right,' but I do believe every guest deserves basic respect. If cooking for myself is frowned upon, I would have appreciated clear communication instead of passive-aggressive treatment. I still tipped 15% on a $200 tab, but I left disappointed. If you find yourself with Alex as your server, you may want to consider requesting another one.

This was the best Korean BBQ I have ever had. We got the beef and pork choice A for 2 and it was so delicious. The kimchi stew hit the spot as a starter, and all the meat was flavorful on its own. The sides were an amazing addition. The staff cooks the meat for you which made dinner very enjoyable and not stressful like other korean bbq establishments. The ambiance was also more relaxed as there was not a million people running around to change the grills. I will definitely be returning!

EJ J.

Yelp
This is still the best Korean BBQ for us. We drive from Austin and I ARI just have a meal there. It's a little bit pricey but the service and quality of meats are so good. Ambience was very nice. Love this place and highly recommended

Ana D.

Yelp
Great food! The portion sizes are huge- we ordered the beef and pork combo for 4 and had enough meat to take home. The staff are all wonderful, they were quick to help when we had questions and we never went long without them walking by- even sitting at a corner table in the back!

Khadija W.

Yelp
I really enjoy my time at Ari. The wait staff was very patient and helpful with answering any questions that we had. We ordered the short rib and bulgogi with rice and kimchi soup. I loved the kimchi soup so much that we ended up ordering another bowl to share. It was absolutely perfect. The food came quickly with was nice because the smell of the food around us had us both starving. This place is definitely a must try.

Amy P.

Yelp
The place is clean but for the price the meat is not it. I got 3 different meats and all three they were tough and chewy. And the bulgogi had a Smokey flavor I wasn't use to so I didn't enjoy. I've had better meats quality at other places. The reason it's 3 star and not 2 is because they do cook your meat for you. BUT while they seem attentive to the meat they don't really refill side dishes much. I probably won't be coming back here.

If I could them 10 stars I would! Stopped in for the first time this weekend & needed to order an item for to go. I found the options available to be great choices. I love galbi ribs so I chose this bowl which also came with rice and noodles along with traditional Korean sides of kimchi, pickled cucumbers & one other item that I don't know the name of. Most of the time you have to choose at other places between rice or noodles so it was a pleasant surprise that it came with both. This bowl was delicious!! It had a great amount of galbi & noodles that were robust in flavor. I should've ordered another one for later too, but that's another reason to go back soon. Let me digress to the point of when I put in the order because I would be remiss if I didn't speak to the amazing level of customer service the gentleman provided. After putting in my order, he asked if I would like something to drink and I ordered an ice water. I told him I would be back in a little while and was about to stand outside to wait. While I was standing outside and gone down towards another business, I hear my name & to my surprise he brought my water out to me. I was really appreciative of just that alone but went into the boba tea place to look at their menu and order. While at the register I hear my name again; He brought my to go order to the counter while I was there. Now if that's not EXCELLENT customer service, I don't know what is! He wanted to make sure I got it hot, quickly & didn't have to go back in to pick it up. In a fast pace world where sometimes people just want to get you in and out of there without giving a reason to patronize a business again (with less than up to par customer service) Ari stands out!! I don't know them at all & had not ever been in there until Sat. but if this is how they treat even the to go customers, this speaks volunteers in a profound way on how everyone that walks in the door matters; Furthermore, our business is appreciated. From the time I walked into Ari, the warm, genuine smiles left me feeling welcomed while the food and additional level of customer service leaves nothing else to be desired. I'll definitely be back & have already bragged on your business to friends already who plan on visiting soon! Sincerely, Minh Smith!

Had a great time here! Service was amazing; they cook your meats for you to perfection and the staff is very attentive. We love their complimentary steam egg and corn cheese; and we love it even more that it's refillable! We had the beef combo and enjoyed all the different cuts. It's hard to pinpoint which ones we favored more because all of them were equally tasty yet different.

The food was absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of high- Quality meats & flavorful side dishes. The atmosphere was lively and inviting, perfect for a fun night out with friends & family . The staff was friendly & attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Overall, I highly recommend Ari Korean BBQ for anyone looking for a fantastic Korean BBQ dining experience in Carrollton. Can't wait to go back .

It was the first time visiting Ari Korean BBQ with my roommate. It was nice and clean open Korean BBQ restaurant. You can smell the wonderful bbq smell from the parking lot. The service was nice and friendly. He explained the menu since it was our first visit. You have to order a less two meats. We ordered marinated short ribs and spicy marinated pork belly. The food was delicious. Never been to a Korean BBQ restaurant before so I have nothing to compare to but it seems to little expensive.

Sarah N.

Yelp
If I could go here all the time for KBBQ, I would... it's a bit pricey, but if you go with friends or are looking to splurge, I would recommend this place in a heartbeat! The meats here are really great and while I don't mind cooking at the ayce places we go to, having them cook is also super nice! The banchan here is the best and I think I probably ate 3 bowls of salad, the dressing is that good! Service was super fast, and they got us whatever we needed almost ASAP. Great experience, definitely wishing I was eating this right now.

This place is "the place" for Korean BbQ. Let me start by saying that you better make a reservation or you would have longer waiting times that usual, the place is very popular. The food: the food was delicious we got the "beef combo for 3" ($120) and it was very well portioned. The sides were all the typical ones. Both the beef and sides were of good quality, flavor, portions, and variety. They offer beer, soju, and wine, but they also have a bar on the top floor with amazing cocktails. Prices for those changed from $12-$15 if my memory is correct. The service: very attentive, they were always checking on us and making sure we had everything we needed. Very good job. The ambiance: the place has booth and round tables in the 1st floor, where the Korean BBQ is served. Good for small and larger parties. The upper floor has an indoors bar, and a super cute outdoor seating area.

Yelp
The meat quality at Ari is slightly better than the nearby AYCE spots, but for a much higher price. The banchan was good, but I wasn't a huge fan of the corn and egg being attached to the grill, I thought it felt messy and the cheese corn hardly had any cheese in it. The servers do grill the meat for you, and the tables are set up with the grill closer to the end so the server doesn't have to get super in your space which I appreciated. Overall it was a decent meal, but I give it three stars because the meat quality felt closer to AYCE than the other pay per dish spots I've tried in the area, so while it tasted fine I wouldn't consider it worth the time or money if you're looking for KBBQ in Carrollton.

Yelp
I've lived in DFW over 2 years and I'm yet to find a Korean bbq place that's better than Ari. By far Ari is my favorite Korean bbq restaurant in DFW. Meat quality is good, servers are attentive, and food including their soup and side dishes are tasty. No wonder it's crowded all the time. I like the Plano location as well but Carrollton location is so convenient, close to everything so I end up going here more often. For six people we ordered middle beef combo and pork combo and it was plenty of food!

Heidi M.

Yelp
Some of the best Korean around. Excellent meats and fresh delicious sides. Call ahead to make a reservation. Weekends are busy! You can bring your own wine with a corkage fee. Services is great.. parking is fine, bathrooms are clean.

here's the thing, ari has amazing quality meat, a really cool robot that brings its food out to you, and a nice and modern ambiance. great for families and overall a fun experience with nice service! it is genuinely so expensive, though. as a not all-you-can-eat kbbq spot, the meat quality is higher, but depending on what you order, prices for the table can really skyrocket way over $90, as it did for my table of 4. i had a great time eating the high quality meats and really enjoyed their banchan and the overall experience, but i personally am still not a huge spender on a la carte kbbq spots. but give it a try if that's your pace :) overall: 8.5/10 taste: 10/10 price: 7/10

Ari, I heart you. I'm sorry for saying "Ari is mid" 5 years ago lmao. One of my go-to (not AYCE) kbbq place in Dallas. Eugene (the owner) and all the servers we've had have been so nice and accommodating. I love that they cook your meat for you coz your girl needs to relax and enjoy the food at kbbq places some times :') Love the ambiance here, you can see everybody here just has a good time - bonus for the music not being too loud. Their cold noodle is the best I've had in the area. I ALWAYS get it and could finish the whole thing by myself (unfortunately my fiancé likes it too and j have to share :'( ). Their soy bean soup and banchan are so tasty too. My fav meats to get are the seasoned short rib & pork jowl. I looove eating the egg, meat, rice and kimchi all in one bite. Ugh, writing this review and seeing the pictures making me hungry. We'll be back soon

This review is from a visit in March 2023~ Solid Korean BBQ spot, likely the best in Texas. On par with classic KBBQ in LA like Baekjeong or Quarters. Solid quality meat, especially beef. We were VERY impressed with the beef and service. The samgyupsal for some reason was not that good when we went (a bit hard and not chewy), but we will have to come back to check it again. Tenjangjjigae was really solid, and side dishes were good. Only thing was they're not serving corn cheese right now as apparently they are undergoing some legal issue about popping kernels right now that prevents them from serving it. Either way, we had an amazing experience here and will be returning to try out other meats when we come back in July. But overall-- good to see a quality KBBQ spot in Carrolton. Stay tuned for another review update!

Phillip T.

Yelp
We came as a group of 3, and the beef combo for 2 people was about enough--especially after ordering sides. All the beef was delicious, especially the marinated rib finger meat. The short ribs were a lil too fatty for my liking. There was so much unlimited banchan, was so happy. Service from the crew was great, and it was really lively inside, like some people were getting rowdy with lots of shouting n such. The food didn't knock my socks off, but I will definitely be back to try more.

There's lots of KBBQ places in Carrollton, and so my friends and I decided to check out Ari. Ari is NOT an AYCE so keep that in mind before you come! The wait is pretty long (about 75 min when we went Friday evening), but luckily, there's a lot of things nearby for us to shop and see while we waited. Right away, one thing that sets Ari apart from other kbbq places is that the servers will grill the meat for you! A pro is they know how to cook the meat well and are super attentive. However, they cook one meat type at a time, and so if you're like me who likes to have a different meat every other bite, this isn't possible here. I really love the banchan here - kimchi was super fresh (one of my favorites actually), but I do prefer Gen's salad over theirs. The egg and corn concept is really neat but the corn was bland. My husband LOVED the egg though. Meat was great quality (beef short rib fingers were my absolute favorite) and the nice thing about the place not being acye is that I really could enjoy every bite without feeling like I had to get my money's worth. If we didn't get alcohol, bill would've been under $30-$35 pp for 5 (including tax and tip)! Would 100% come again!!

Yelp
Ever since all the KBBQ prices skyrocketed in the area, I finally am able to validate quality over quantity. If I'm paying the same cost for an AYCE or Ari, I'm going to go to Ari. Yes, Ari is not an AYCE, but the sets serves plenty of food for 2 or 3. The servers cook for you which is nice and the meat quality is high, the banchan is good, and the cheese corn and egg has unlimited refills. As of now, Ari is definitely my go to KBBQ place.

Julia K.

Yelp
Delicious food and great service. This Korean BBQ place is not AYCE. You pay for the meat you want. We got the Beef and Pork Combination Large, which comes with four different meats, several sides, and two soups. Unlike other KBBQ places, you don't need to cook your own food. The waiter comes by and cooked everything and cuts it up to nice, bite sizes. Food was really good and I always enjoy the steamed egg. Between the soups, I would say the soybean paste soup is the best. The place is great for big groups. Lots of tables, but expect a wait.

Kelley B.

Yelp
The food was good, restaurant was clean, excellent ventilation which is a premium for K BQQ, great service but the portions are small. I would not recommend coming here if you want all you can eat. It's a bit pricey. Short Rib/ Kalbi was $40 for a small serving. Beef bulgogi was $28 with a plentiful amount. The meat was probably the best cut I've had but again small in comparison to AYCE. This is what happens when you are hungry but don't review the menu/ prices smh. The cooked egg and corn with cheese on the sides, they can keep that. Lol I love K BQQ for the meat, rice, lettuce and side dishes.

Tiffany W.

Yelp
Food: I love the brisket and pork combo. Although not AYCE; we were still pretty stuffed with just the combo option Service: I like how they come & grill for you. They do get kinda busy on weekends & the meat can get overcooked if you are ones to depend the server to cook for you. Ambiance: 4/5: can't really talk to each other without the person next to you hearing it first. 專心吃飯吧

Sides and main meats were all delicious. Staff was pretty attentive and helped make sire all the meats were cooked correctly. Will come here to eat again!

I always get nervous when I see reviews that are either really good or really bad for places which was the case for this bbq place. I was pleased thankfully! Super tasty and good quality meat. It is always packed and I can see why! I prefer this to places like Gen because the barbecue smell doesn't stick to you as much because of the vents being so close to your table. I enjoyed everything and would come back another time! *Beware this is super pricey as it's not ayce you pay per serving of meat.

Katie F.

Yelp
One of the better Korean BBQ places in Carrollton. They had a wonderful & friendly atmosphere with plenty of seating for small & big groups. All meats were very fresh cuts and bonchon was very authentic. I loved the cheese corn added onto the roll as well as the Korean soup.

Priyanshu S.

Yelp
Service was really good our waiter was friendly and welcoming. I think the meats were pretty solid quality and the portion sizes are good. We had a mix of pork and beef. The sauces were underwhelming and banchan was solid. I'd return to the spot in the future to try it again it's a decent kbbq.

Juliana C.

Yelp
Came on a Wednesday night and it was packed! I believe I waited almost an hour! Recently I went to Ari with my boyfriend because I heard great things about Ari and really wanted to try it. When waiting for your table you can wait at their bar upstairs or walk around the shopping plaza! Once we got seated we ordered the beef and pork combo. The meal came with unlimited steamed egg and corn cheese on the side. Food was delicious, I was raving about the food days after. Our waiter was amazing and very attentive but I did not catch his name. Highly recommend, can wait to go back!

Adrienne D.

Yelp
I've been to this restaurant twice and loved it both times. The first time I came it was with a friend who is very familiar with Korean BBQ so she helped us make great food recommendations, told us what food to eat together and she cooked the meats for us. I loved the salad and soup that we were served - absolutely delicious! We ordered the pork belly which was separate and just okay. I am a big fan of pork belly, but probably wouldn't order it again. They give you unlimited cheese corn, egg and sides for the meal. I don't eat cheese corn, but my friends told me it was very good. I enjoyed the eggs with the sticky rice and meats. They also give you four different kind of sauces to try so you're bound to find something that suits your fancy. The second time I went it was with another couple, who had never been to a Korean BBQ before, so I let the waiters explain how everything worked. There were three servers who rotated coming back and making sure the meat was cooked perfectly. Lee, Joon and Jenny were both very friendly and provided great recommendations. Because there were 4 of us we decided to do the beef and pork combo and it was amazing! Plenty of food for the 4 of us, especially when you consider the sides and salad. Oh, and because the sides are unlimited, they will let you take any leftovers home, which I think is also a great plus. So, a few tips - #1 Make a reservation. This place gets SUPER packed and you can wait 30-45 mins for a table during peak times. Open Table told me a table wasn't available during the time I wanted so I emailed them and they responded quickly and reserved our table. #2 (and why they only got 4 stars) The servers won't bring alcoholic beverages to your table. There is a lounge upstairs which is very cozy (I recommend you try it) and it has AMAZING drinks! Yuri and Christian put it down up there, but if you want another drink once you start eating you have to go back up to the lounge to get it. If you're in cute heels, make sure you use the handrail to balance yourself as you walk downstairs with your drink. I really wish I could have given 4.5 stars but, alas, Yelp hasn't figured that out yet.

Yelp
I dig this place. You pay for the meat quality here over quantity, but the quantity is plenty and you'll leave stuffed if you order the right combo/accordingly. A small combo is enough for two people. Medium for 3-4 people, and large for bigger groups. Can also add individual meats too. Service is excellent even when busy. This place sticks out amongst the crowd. I'd definitely go back and bring friends here for a treat.

The beef set was the best. Plenty of of condiments, salad is very refreshing. Service is great, every staff members are friendly and very helpful. Ambiance is family friendly.

Yelp
Ari bbq is a great option for KBBQ. The quality is top notch and the service is the best that you'll get at any Korean restaurant. We ordered the combo platter for 3 people. Plenty of meats come out and they grill it up for you. The corn cheese and egg are a nice added bonus and the panchans are plentiful. Ari provides a good value for your money and you'll always leave stuffed.

Vy N.

Yelp
Very delicious! The servers help you grill your meat and cut them up for you. This is a very nice and friendly kbbq. There are air vents that helps with the smell of the smoke and it's a smart creation. We ordered the brisket, the spicy pork belly, spare ribs, the kimchi fried rice, and the regular pork belly. It was about 9 of us and our total was around $600. We were provided eggs, corns, and salads as part of the kbbq. I love coming here and will always come back.

Must come here! We got the small beef combination set. So juicy and buttery. The waitstaff were very attentive. Will be back!

Service was great. The servers all shared the tables so they took turns to cook the meats for you to make sure they are at the perfect texture and temperature. Love that the cheese corn and steam eggs are unlimited refills here. Their hot chilly dipping sauces are bombs!! The $43 Boneless Prime Short Ribs are definitely worth the price and must try. We also ordered a $90 Medium Size Beef & Pork Combo. The marinated sauce is a bit too sweet to our liking & we also had better pork belly quality somewhere else but meat quality overall was great. We also ordered the Small Intestine $26 but they grilled it in a pan so all the fat stay within the pan like you were deep frying the intestines not grilling, which made it very oily and greasy. I would not recommend the intestine dishes.

The setting started out great. We were anticipating great Korean BBQ. The bahnchans were too red pepper based, no flavor, just spicy. Kimchi jigae was spicy, no tofu or any other ingredients. Meats were tender. We enjoyed the cooking of the meats. We did order Mul nangmyun, but it never came out. When the bill came, it wasn't on our order. Guess it was too loud for the waiter to hear it. ???

Food: 4 stars (not fond of the intestine, but meats were tasty) Service: 5 stars really great in identifying if we needed more food our out of drinks. Friendly servers. Would definitely recommend

We loved it. Food was great. Prices are acceptable, not too pricey compared with the portion of food. We ordered Beef and Pork Combination (for 2 people) and we hardly finished it all. A plus point is that serves would help grilling the meats. Servers were very friendly and attentive. Will definitely come back next time.

Have to love when you try something different or new and it turns out great. ARI was incredible. We had a 1 hour wait, but walked around shops and stores near by and it went very fast. Definitely a unique experience with all hot food cooked at your small little booth/center table. Our server was Kai S and he worked hard all night. Great recommendations and super friendly!! Definitely try the combos or do like we did and make your own - Sliced Brisket, Short Ribs,Finger Meat, and Pork Belly was our choice. Kimchi and Bean Stews were also tastey. You get a lot of food so definitely plan to share - maybe 3 orders for 4-5 people. Fun night - high energy, good kids and adult beverages with a little bar upstairs if you prefer to hang there while you wait. Have to say we really enjoyed our server team and appreciated their advice and helping guide us all night. Will definitely go back next time we are in town.

Overall not bad. The marinated kalbi was good. The side dishes were just ok and there weren't many other options for appetizers or other dishes.
