Highly recommend! The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the establishment is clean. We ordered 2 seasoned prime short rib, 1 pork belly and 1 beef finger meat. It was more than enough to share. You also get soup, banchan, and rice with the proteins. Can't wait to come back!!!FYI: Minimum order of 2 protein dishes. They only have beef and pork.

Very clean place to eat Korean BBQ.They serve beef and pork only. No seafood.Best if you order the combo then add additional if still hungry.

My immediate family has not eaten dinner at a restaurant in quite some time. When my cousin invited us to try out Ari, we were really excited. We had multiple plates of brisket and short ribs. I have heard of this but never seen until we came here but here is a little robot that brings certain hot bowls to help the servers out. The staff cooked all the plates well. they came out delicious. They were also attentive and helpful. Everyone enjoyed the meal and we will be back!

The quality of meat is high and the side dishes were tasty, classical Korean fare. However, the overall dining experience was that of a fast food restaurant, driven by the very rushed service. The service staff are ostensibly trained to rush your food preparation (aka grilling) in order to increase table turnover. More customers in and more customers out- that is the tempo of service here (and I am not the only one to feel this way if you read other comments). They cooked 3 courses of meat in 17 minutes, it was not exactly pleasant, nor a relaxing dining experience. Recommendation to the service staff: slow down and let your customers savour the food and atmosphere. Timing is everything.

The food is amazing. The meat quality is absolutely great. Side dishes are plentiful. Though a little overpriced compared to competitors, you will leave with a full belly.However, what keeps us from coming back is the service. For the last three times we have been here, we felt rushed. 3 out of 4 different kinds of meat are done even before the egg is ready. So why the rush? I also feel like the servers could do a little better at taking care of their guests. Though they are attentive, they could be more welcoming. One of our guys handled our food in an aggressive manner for no reason at all.

Food is excellent and a great experience. I just wish anyone had spent a little time at our table explaining everything… took a bit to catch on. But all delicious and a fun way to dine with close friends or family.

This is my first visit. The food was fantastic! We ordered the combination pork for 2 and the amount is food is substantial. The sides were so tasty too! I love the vibe and atmosphere. The staff were, fri, helpful and courteous. They answered questions and ensured that our experience was enjoyable!

Wonderful experience! We had a group of 12 and nobody left hungry, the friendly staff ensured we got our seats right on time (note: reserving a table is a MUST for Friday/Saturday nights) and cooked our meats properly. Normally with Korean meals, the side dishes would help fill you up first but we had no time for those because the runny eggs and cheesy corns and meats were ready in no time. Although it was a long table we had fun passing food around and weren't judged for having a good time (and being loud).Special note: those marbling prime short rib we had was on another level, it literally melts in your mouth.

WE’VE BEEN IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT KOREAN BBQ RESTAURANT AND THIS PLACE IS THE 1ST ONE ☝️ I’VE BEEN WHERE THE SERVERS COOK THE MEAT FOR YOU IN FRONT OF YOU!!! LOVE THIS CONCEPT ?? EVERYTHING WAS SUPER DELISH. THE VIBE, AMBIANCE AND MUSIC WAS GREAT, STAFF AND SERVERS ARE AWESOME - SUPER NICE AND ATTENTIVE! FOR THE PRICE IT’S WORTHED!!! WE’LL BE BACK FOR SURE.

Amazing! Great choices of food. Staff was awesome and interacted with the whole table. I love the automated robot waiters. All the food looked very fresh. Great time and place to take a large group.
