We have been waiting for a good cook-it-yourself Korean BBQ place to open around here (yes there's another but it is so SALTY). Arirang had the benefit of sharing the name of our go-to back in Pasadena (closed after we left town... coincidence???).
You CAN make reservations so that should be updated in on this Yelp page.
The food was GREAT with all the sides we expected. The meats were not fatty so 100% edible with tremendous flavor. I wasn't a fan of the pork belly but the rest of the table completely loved loved it.
The prices took me by surprise however the portions were huge, we got what we paid for.
HUGE plus was that they had cold noodle soup just like the wife wanted and gave her flashbacks to The Corner Place in downtown Los Angeles.
The real downside were the gaps in service. Waited almost 5 minutes to get seated with no one else waiting and staff walking past us a few times. And the wait to place our order was almost 10 minutes. After that the servers were very attentive.
Kids had a good time. Adventure eating.
We will be going back. Depend on it.
