In a pinch for time I was trying to meet someone before another engagement I had planned. The first two places we had gone were a bust so on whim we decided to check this place. At first it appeared as just an oriental market. We then discovered there was a small restaurant in the back serving hot foods. My stomach was empty but I wanted something light. They had some fried dumplings that sounded interesting. It was right up my alley for a quick snack. When I inquired if it had any pork or chicken I was informed it was vegetables. I was like ok I can work with that. When it came out I was a bit caught off guard. I guess I was expecting more round plump dumplings but instead they appeared more like pot stickers. I took my first bite. It was very bland. I dipped it in the sauce it came it. The sauce overpowered the veggies and it was ok but still very bland. I wasn't too impressed. They offered a lot of items on the menu mostly consisting of pork so I didn't venture too deep. Personally I'm a not a big fan of pork but if that's what you're into than this may be the place for you. Honestly you'd probably have a better experience than I did. Overall it was an ok experience. The restaurant was very small. The staff was friendly. For me it was nothing to write home about. I can at least say I gave it a try but it was not for me. I probably won't be returning. read more

A-Ri-Rang Oriental Market is a delicious option for homemade, authentic Korean cooking. From bibimbap, sundubu jjigae, and kimbap -- they've got great choices. The food is always served hot and prepared expertly by the family that runs this location. The restaurant itself is an intimate, cozy spot with limited seating options. I've never had a problem finding a seat for 2, but if I came in with a larger group I'd be aware that there might be a wait time. Overall, the food is great to me and the little market attached to the seating area has a lot of good Korean staples. Will definitely be back for more food and more goodies from their little shop! read more

A very cute family owned store and restaurant. They have so many Korean products. They have a restaurant inside and we decided to try it out! We order a dish called ddeokbokki with rice cakes and noodles. It was a little spicy but so delicious. We also ordered the tofu soup and that was yummy too. I would like to go back and try their bulgogi beef bowls next time! The workers are also very friendly. read more

4.5 stars. True hole in a wall place! love Arirang. I visited it many times during COVID's peak times and didn't know they also had a restaurant in the back of the shop until I read about it on Yelp and visited the restaurant recently I loved that I could get some Korean fixes here and the items were more authentic than Korean food I could get elsewhere. The portions were also generous..so you could share/take some leftover home. I wished the restaurant offered more banchan (side dishes during meals,) and that there were more items like drinks and desserts as well. I'd love to try more authentic dishes from here! Note: also, this market isn't really an overall Oriental Market as the name started but mostly Korean items (e.g. no southeast asian items). Small shop but definitely good ones if you are looking for Korean items for your grocery needs~ read more

We have lived in ABQ for over 25 years and until today really could not say, "The Best". Friends, I hesitate to write a review here because this amazing family establishment will become way too popular, but to be fair to the family that runs this business I need to share, this is by far the absolute best Korean restaurant I have had the joy of experiencing. The food is exceptional. It is small, with few tables, but the food. If you go to places for the food. You simply can't go wrong here. The food was fresh, served promptly, and delightfully flavorful. I hope anyone seeing this review gives them a a try. You see the outside of the building and wonder, well step inside and be prepared for delicious authentic dishes.

This is a hidden gem, you'll want to seek out. You would probably drive by the building not knowing this is a must try for Korean food in the area. The exterior of the building is line like with most in the area, it looks old and it was probably converted from the previous business that was there. The signage outside for the business isn't super fancy or anything, so you could just over look it easily. This is a your small mom and pop restaurant with a little market attached to it. This is specifically for the restaurant. First of let me just say the food is food, we ordered BiBimBap, JapChea, and a veggie pancake. I have no complaints about the food as everything was good and we'll be back for sure to try other items. This way above some other places Korean spots I've had in the area. This is a small little spot with very limited seating with about 6 tables and maybe 20 people for seating. The layout is open and you can see the part of the back of the house area. Service was great and everyone was friendly. We came here on a Saturday afternoon and it can get busy. Because of the limited seating there was people who had to wait. I had the SolDot BiBimBap and it was good and filling. To me this is a solid choice and can't go wrong. I can see where some people could say it is t as seasoned for flavor, but I personally have no complaints. They will bring out a bottle of sauce if you want to spice it a bit to. My girlfriend had the JapChea and I was like holy dang! when they brought out the plate. This is a pretty big portion and let's you feel like you're getting you're money's worth. She couldn't finish it, so we took it the rest home. I had the some of leftovers a few hours later and it was really good and I mixed some rice with it. I would say JapChea is a personal preference on how it's prepared and this is a little sauced up more than what I'm use to. The sauce is savory and when I ate the leftovers, it wasn't as sauced up and I like it better that way. The veggie pancake is a must, this was just soooo good and when dipped in the sauce, even better. Nothing more needs to be said. I would give it a 4.5 overall from our experience with the knowledge this a little cozy spot with no expectations of a chain/corporate restaurant. read more

I think many people don't know that there is a restaurant within this grocery store which is run by Koreans and has many Korean customers! That is a very good sign! Though I look Korean, I was adopted as a baby and grew up in the USA. My Korean friend brings me, and it's always a delight to eat this flavorful food from this beautiful ethnic culture! Everything comes out fresh and plentiful! The soups are shareable if your appetite is smaller. Crispy Korean dumplings with dipping sauce were so good and different than the Chinese dumplings I'm used to. The wait staff is very friendly with smiles, and the place was clean. I look forward to returning and trying something new each time I go! read more

Such a hidden gem and super conveniently located. I am familiar with a few of the larger Asian markets around town but this was my first time in A-Ri-Rang and I was shocked to find it was super close to my house but I had never noticed it before. The space is small but stocked to the brim. I came for the grocery but the restaurant was smelling amazing so I will be back for that. I was super excited to find some frozen Korean corn dogs that can be air fried! I also thought they had a great selection of dry goods and frozen things. I also grabbed fizzy drink for the road that was delicious. They had all kinds of things that I haven't found at some of the larger markets and highly recommend checking them out for some of those Korean specialty needs. read more

This review is for the small restaurant located in the back of the market. I went online before we went in and researched the different foods. They don't have pictures of the dishes on the menu and I'm not familiar enough with Korean food to guess what I'd like just from descriptions. I got the spicy pork bulgogi and my daughter got the bibambob. Both were delicious. I'm glad I asked for medium heat because it was perfect. There are only a few tables and the women speak broken English. I'm not sure of their hours. Some days they're closed but nothing is posted. Really great authentic food. read more

If you are looking for the best Korean food in Albuquerque, look no further! For a few months a while back I think the indoor seating for the restaurant side of this market was closed, but it is back open now. I love coming here on my lunch break for work, it is very traditional and authentic. I studied abroad in Korea for over a year, so I would say I definitely know my Korean food and this is really the best in town. It never disappoints. I love that they serve hot barely tea with your meal during the winter time, and cold barely tea during the hotter months in the summer if you dine in. I always feel like I am in Korea when I am here. I also really like the drink section that they have in the market side.

The flavor was wonderfully savory and not as spicy as I anticipated. I love really spicy food and would rate this less spicy than Sriracha. My husband got the beef bulgogi which was also delicious! Our meals came with pickled bean sprouts, rice, and kimchi which was definitely top notch! The service was fast and very friendly as well. We shopped around inside the store after we were done eating and bought some of our favorite staples which are all priced much lower than any other store we've found. We're already talking about going back to try more of their dishes, can't recommend this place enough for authentic Korean food! read more

We threw out all the meat, it turned grey in the freezer. I called the 1-800 number and was told someone in Albuquerque would call me back.

That would not be a problem if the service and food was good but was not. the staff is unfriendly and with not to many tables at the time it took over 25 min for the food to come out and when it did the poor cook had to deliver because our waitress was too busy talking. We didn't get forks or knife I waited a couple of min. To get their attention but another group of 3 employees was doing the tip math or something, I ended getting up to find them my self. Only to realize my fork had cilantro on it got up to get another one by this time our waiter noticed and came over . Too late. Appetizers overly salted and the best part was the salsa but chips not good. My food was not so bad but the tortillas where stale and old not good quality the taste of the fishe was decent. They had some good music and it seemed a lot of happy customers picking up to go orders . I guess to go is better I shall try that next time.

After waiting quite a while, I hung up and called back. This time, they took my order quickly and efficiently. I hadn't been here since they were in their previous location across the street, and I was really impressed with the new dining area. It was clean, well-decorated, and had a lot of open space. The front counter staff seemed a bit awkward or shy, I couldn't quite tell, but it was fine. They let me know my order would be ready in about 10 minutes. In reality, I waited closer to 20 mins todal, but it was absolutely worth it. I ordered the chicken shawarma platter, and it did not disappoint. It came with a delicious side salad made with fresh produce, a light dressing, and generous chunks of feta cheese. The platter also included some of the best hummus I've ever had, along with pita bread for dipping, though I honestly could have used a little more bread. The main dish featured tender, well-seasoned chicken served over rice with a creamy cucumber sauce that I could not get enough of. Seriously, this stuff was dangerously addictive. I'll definitely be back, and next time I'm bringing the whole family!

You can always count on big selection and they are typically well stocked.

Another favorite of mine here is browsing the produce section because it is the only place I come to for Chinese eggplant. The housewares (plates/pots/pans etc.) always have nice selection of cool things. Perfect for gifting or just picking up something new for your own kitchen. My only gripe with them is they close at 6 pm. Sometimes it's a little hard to get to after work.

The bread is clearly baked fresh and was nice and crusty on the outside and fluffy with the perfect chew on the inside. My mini me 1 inhaled her grilled cheese (of which my husband ordered the full size and also demolished his), and mini me 2 and I shared the toasted tuna melt. Good balance of tuna, celery, and bread ratio, but I didn't dig the olives in it. There's a mini kale salad that comes with entrees, and it was healthy and palatable for kale. We did end up balancing that green with the pistachio cruffin and pistachio chocolate chip cookie. Would definitely go back for the cruffin with its flaky layers and luscious pastry cream. Cookie was less impressive but still worth the impulse buy. Indoor and breezy outdoor seating available. Highly recommend!

The turkey had fresh dill and sprouts, avocado and this lemon jam which was the star. Tuna was so good. Some tuna is really fishy and this one had such a great flavor and the croque madam with that side of mustard was such a great combination. It was so good I came back during the week and had the beef sirlion sandwich that was so flavorful with the arugula and onion jam and had to finish it off with the best lemon blueberry muffin.

Antiquity Restaurant

For our 20th anniversary, we were looking for more than just a great steak dinner, we wanted an…read moreexperience. After several locals recommended Antiquity, we quickly learned why reservations are so hard to come by. We couldn't secure a table on our actual anniversary, but managed to get one a couple of nights later, and it was well worth the wait. From the outside, Antiquity is understated. Step inside, however, and you're immediately welcomed into a warm, intimate atmosphere that feels like a hidden gem tucked away in Old Town Albuquerque. Owner Steve, who has been running the restaurant for nearly three decades, greeted us personally. His passion for hospitality was evident from the moment we arrived. While we waited briefly for our table, he took time to learn about us, ask what types of food we enjoy, and offer thoughtful menu recommendations. The restaurant itself is charming and authentic, with an old-world steakhouse feel that perfectly complements the historic New Mexico setting. Many of the tables and booths are arranged to create private, intimate dining spaces, making it an ideal choice for special occasions. We were touched when Steve seated us at what he called the "anniversary table," complete with a small scattering of heart confetti, despite our celebration having technically passed. Service throughout the evening was exceptional. Rather than relying on a single server, the entire staff worked seamlessly together. Water glasses were never less than half full, empty plates disappeared almost instantly, and every member of the team seemed genuinely invested in ensuring guests had a memorable experience. Even the kitchen staff engaged warmly with diners, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. As for the food, it exceeded every expectation. We started with oysters on the half shell, which my husband thoroughly enjoyed. I upgraded to the special salad, a beautiful combination of greens, apples, strawberries, mandarin oranges, walnuts, bacon, and a creamy mini brie, all brought together with a delicious pear vinaigrette. For our entrée, we chose the Châteaubriand for two. It was expertly prepared, carved tableside, and cooked perfectly. Every recommendation we received was spot-on, and the meal was so impressive that before leaving, I made another reservation for later that week just so I could return and try more of the menu before our trip ended. Antiquity offers beer and wine rather than a full bar, which was perfectly fine for us and fit the restaurant's classic, understated character. This is not an inexpensive dinner, nor should it be. What you're paying for is exceptional food, genuine hospitality, flawless service, and an atmosphere that is increasingly difficult to find. Antiquity doesn't simply serve dinner, it creates an experience. If you're visiting Albuquerque and looking for a memorable meal, especially for a special occasion, this restaurant deserves a spot at the very top of your list.

No, so don't expect change for the sake of patrons' convenience. At least the person who answers the phone, and frankly, that's more than you get from most restaurants these days. Very unassuming on the outside. Inside, you can tell it's an established place that's been around for a while. Arrived a few minutes early for our celebratory reservation and were seated right away in a quiet, private book surrounded by art and dim lighting. For starters, my gumbo was good, and his salad looked as good as it tasted. For entrees, husband got sucked in by the specials and ordered the schnitzel, which (to quote Shania) didn't impress me much. To clarify, there was nothing wrong with it, but I've had a lot of schnitzel, and it just failed to stand out. I kept to the classics with a filet mignon. To my surprise, it left the same impression. Again, absolutely nothing wrong with it - cooked well, quality cut, etc. - but I've had more memorable steaks at High Noon Saloon. *shrug* Highlight: The servers were exceptional. Lowlight: The sconce / light fixture over our table was in need of a dusting. Overall: A lovely evening to toast my guy's significant professional achievement. Would recommend if you find yourself stuck in the rut of bad service when dining out. Antiquity's dinner service will remind you how a night on the town is supposed to feel!
