I have a wonderful experience at Arirang. Each combo got plenty of meat and they are delicious. They also come in affordable price. The music, the atmosphere, and the waitress are so nice. I really like the extra side dishes in there. Definitely come again to eat, and definitely recommend it to my friends.

We had the all-you-can-eat Korean bbq. The service was great and we liked that the sides are available as a buffet. The meat quality was ok. The bulgogi and pork belly are good. The brisket was a little tough.

All you can eat (with different price/choice tiers). Kalbi was good. The grill was electronic. Not super fancy but you can definitely get your moneys worth here in yummy BBQ.

Honestly, I want to give 0 star. - I am writing this based on my experience.First, the price is too expensive compare to the meat quality they provide. But mainly, the reason why I decided to write this review is, I could smell and taste disgusting odor when you store them in room temperature for a long time from beef brisket. They had this problem for a long time, back in the day, they provided somewhat okay beef brisket in the first serve. Sadly, they still didn’t improve and I could taste and smell disgusting odor from the first serve. And LA Kalbi seemed okay in the first serve, but the quality went down so much after second re-fill. This is a scam. I don’t usually write this kind of review, but I got really bad stomach ache after eating there. I am certain that beef brisket made me really sick. As I mentioned, it is not worth going there. Price is way too expensive compare to the quality they provide. I will never visit this location.

Daechang is the best. The wrongly trimmed gopchang smells disgusting, but it doesn't smell like that here. Salad and sauce taste good and sour kimchi is a true k-food.

Prices are pretty cheap, relatively, for all you can eat Korean BBQ. The most expensive level is $37/person and at this level you get to pick beef ribeye, shrimp, and baby octopus on top of the meats available to the two lower selections (marinated beef, marinated chicken, spicy pork, beef brisket, pork belly, pork collar, marinated beef short ribs). I don't think it's worth it at this highest level, even though it's only $4 more than the mid level. The rib eye came out frozen in the middle, and the cut was pretty lean, so no matter how you cook it, I don't think you can make it tasty or tender. Maybe it was just us. The shrimp were fresh, but still not worth paying the highest level; and we didn't care for the octopus. Out of all the meat selections, the marinated beef short ribs were the best, thick and tender! There were several marinated meat options and we would recommend those over non-marinated ones. We loved the self-served stations of side dishes which included plenty of lettuce for wrapping, premade dipping sauces, banchans, egg dropped soup, and cooked white rice. Overall, I would recommend solely for the low price, and the tender short ribs.

Servers are rude.Food is mediocre and the self serve side area is always empty. Had 4 people at a table one night, ordered prawns but the guy only gave us 3, we asked if we could get more for the fourth person at our table...server started getting an attitude saying we need to eat our food before ordering.. we know! We just all want to eat at the SAME TIME. Why is it fair for one person to sit out?

It's more buffet style, not bad just different than what I'm used to. Meat was good but a little too salty. Ban chan was pretty basic. Service was good.

Incredibly value per dollar. If they were any closer I would never eat anywhere else

I don’t know why use these mobile gas grills, I’m not a big fan of how close it is to my face and when you grill, it sizzles sometimes onto me.As for the meat, it was great. The meat was marinated well and cooked good on the grill.As for the side dishes, it’s cool how it’s self serve and it’s buffet style. It’s not the best side dishes I’ve ever had though. Also I wish they were more quick about making rice and having it out on time. I wasn’t able to eat my meat with rice because it wasn’t ready or something. In replace I just used lettuce wraps which was still good. I’d definitely come back here again. It’s not a bad place! I’ve been to the Arirang location on Mill Creek and it’s a lot more different experience and there’s no self serve buffet style like this one.As for price, we got the cheapest which was $25 per person. That’s a reasonable passable price.
