I think this place went under new management at the start of the year, because the food and service have taken a dive since then. They no longer serve the side dishes with your meal like they used to, and the waitress is not friendly. I won't be going back.

Food is great. However, new management is not friendly and portions are now smaller than before. Love the food but we do not feel welcome there anymore.

The customer service was Horrible!! The server kept going back and forth with me.. she didnt make sure we were good she just rude! I know it has new owners bc I've been going there for years.. we also don't eat certain things and kept trying to explain to the lady but she kept cutting me off.. this is definitely not the same caliber of restaurant it use to be.. I'll stick with Seoul restaurant and kimchi restaurant .. I've stayed in korea for 2 and a half years and never experienced anything like that

So incredibly disappointed. My mom and I have been going to this restaurant since 2020. We always received excellent food and service. The caliber of the cuisine has dropped tremendously. Today, my mom and I came for a lunch outing, and the waitress was completely dismissive of us both. She never came back for refills on drinks or to see if we were okay, and our food came from the kitchen with hands on the rim of our bowls. Also, we made several attempts to get her attention for a side of rice, that we were charged extra for. She sat down with her korean guests and had her meal with them, along of with several servings of soju. She made us feel like we were bothering her, but she gave her undivided attention to her guests, along with another korean family that was there. The side dishes her guests received were different in proportion of what we received. I celebrated my 20th birthday at Arirang this past year with the previous owners in charge, but today my mom and I were in a hurry to leave. The old owners will be deeply missed.

If you’re looking for Authentic Korean food, this is it. Since I’m Korean, I would know. lol. They have well prepared meals and their side dishes will amaze you. Simply the best in town.Kid-friendliness: What a great way to share an experience of another culture and their cuisine? Enjoy!

My daughter was stationed in Korea and developed fondness for the Korean cuisine. She introduced me to this little "hole in the wall" authentic, probably family owned casual eatery. It was an amazing delightful international treat and experience for me. I will follow my craving back!

Update: I think the place has been sold and has new owners. I have been a regular of this restaurant for several years now. The last time I was there, the food was radically different. I don’t care for it now I’ve been to many Korean restaurants and this one no longer is one of my go to. The woman who took our order Was clearly not happy to be working there. I placed a to go order and the side dishes were not there and I had to remind her. When I reminded her, she made a face and begrudgingly made a very small box of side dishes to go. I do not believe I will be returning there. It is a shame because it used to be an authentic Korean restaurant.

Disappointing service. I've been to so many Korean Restaurant, every single one of them serve side dishes before my order. I asked the waitress about it and she refused to provide the side dishes. I spent over $40. Her service and attitude was also terrible. Did not even bother refill the water or ask if i need anything the whole time I'm there. I feel like I've been discriminated against since I've seen pictures and they do provide side dishes for other customer. The food is decent.
