It was excellent, way better than Takamatsu was even when it was still good. I am a KBBQ lover and recently went to Ktown in NY and LA and ate it there.
Big portions and the combos give added value. I had a party of 7 adults. We had combo #6 for 4or5 people and also ordered lamb and shrimp. We feasted and were barely able to finish. It was my friends' first time eating KBBQ, which is why I chose Arirang so they could have the authentic grill experience. They were impressed and loved the food and veggies.
The ban chan was really good, and there were even dishes I had not seen before like brussel sprouts and eggplant. Great bariety and good quality. I found the quality of the meat to be excellent, and we had various types of beef, lamb, ribeye, pork, chicken and shrimp. I read one review that was negative and found it to be unfounded regarding quality. The ambiance is very bare and plain, but I review the food and the service typically, and I only comment on ambiance. For 7 of us with combi #6 plus lamb and shrimp, 2 bottles of soju, 2 bottles of magkoli and 2 sodas, the bill came out to $32 each including tip. We feasted. I will return, probably soon with my sister. My friend said he will be taking his mom there.
