What a pleasant surprise!
My husband had purchased a voucher from Livingsocial a while ago and we finally went for dinner on the weekend.
Upon arrival, the first thing we noticed, was the very nice decor.
Arisu has an upscale look, but still manages to have a casual atmosphere.
We were greeted right away by a friendly waitress and since we had made reservations, our table was already waiting for us.
Arisu's menu is extensive since they are serving Japanese and Korean cuisine so you need a few minutes to take it all in.
We decided on the following order:
- Spicy Samon Rolls
- Salmon Rolls
- Hot Pot Bibimbap with beef and vegetables
- Spicy Chicken
The food came out after just a few minutes.
My husband and I split the two orders of salmon rolls and I am happy to report that the fish was fresh.
I had ordered the Spicy Chicken and really liked it.
It was chicken breast with several different veggies cooked in a spicy sauce and it had just the right kick to it.
It also came with a bowl of rice and they gave me the choice of regular white rice or multi-grain rice.
My husband had the Bibimbap and also enjoyed his dish.
Additionally, we were each served a small salad as an appetizer as well as a miso soup and about six small side dishes (kimchi, bamboo sprouts in a sesame vinaigrette, some kind of apple salad, chick peas plus two other things that I wasn't able to identify).
Everything was really tasty.
As for the service:
Throughout the meal the two waiters assigned to our table came on a regular basis to check if we needed more water, wanted more side dishes or just to inquire if we were satisfied. Good job.
Conclusion:
Thumbs up x 2 for great service and great food.
We will be back.
