Hands down, one of the best kbbq places I've been to. They even have intestines, which hardly any kbbq place has. It is cooked for you as well. Meats are flavored well when you're getting a marinated meat, it's cooked to perfection. It's juicy, buttery, and so good. Multiple ban chan as well. read more

I freaking love this place! This is a great option for those that love Korean bbq but don't want to cook it themselves I love all the side including the cooked corn and soup options! Can't wait to come back!! read more

I came here in a group of 5 at about 8pm on a Sunday after doing karaoke nearby. I consume a large amount of hotpot, KBBQ, yakiniku, you name it, and this was honestly my least favorite experience I've had in a while. I found the servers cooking your food to actually be somewhat inconvenient of a gimmick. All the meats I received were overcooked to my tastes, and it made the experience take twice as long - we were there for 2.5 hours. Additionally, we had a party member who couldn't eat pork, so we tried to ask that all the beef get cooked first and then the grill switched so the rest of us could have the pork. This just seemed to confuse the staff, and this wouldn't have happened had we been cooking the meat ourselves. I was also disappointed with the sauce options for the meat, and thus found myself eating pretty flavorless meat. I will say, the large meal for 4 was too much even for the 5 of us, so keep that in mind when it comes to portions. Overall, I don't think I'd in good faith wish to come here again for $35/person. I'd rather go to Seapot, Gen, Gyu Kaku, and others for a better price and experience. read more

this place is more like like a 3.5 out of 5 stars. I come from socal, where there are numerous kbbq spots. (i think just in LA alone, there are hundreds.) We ended up getting the small beef combo which will feed 2 people for 80 bucks. so after tip and tax, it's easily over 100 bucks for two people. Keep in mind, this is not an AYCE korean bbq. The beef combo comes with Brisket, short rib, rib finger meat and bulgogi. I think the best one is the short rib followed by the brisket and then the rib finger meat and last is bulgogi. I wasn't a huge fan of the bulgogi as it was a bit dry for my taste. on your grill, there is a section for grilled cheese corn and egg. Make sure you don't over cook your grilled cheese corn, we accidently left it on for too long, and the corn was too burnt by the time we took it off. I think you can get refills, on the corn and egg, but they charge you for it. I'm glad they don't charge for the banchan. I suppose this place is a bit more expensive, as they use "premium" meats and cook the means for you. If you want pork, they have a pork combo for you. or beef/pork combo as well. We went during a weekend lunch, and we were surprised we were able to get a seat without any wait time. Maybe during dinner, it gets packed? read more

Great visit. My first time and I will gladly come back. They cook for us so we did not have to worry about overcooking the meat. No one in our group had to worry about being in charge of cooking and not getting to eat. Bonchans were plenty and refilled. The cheese corn and egg soufflé refilled too. Came at 6 on Friday and got seated quickly. They even brought a stand for our baby carrier and put the stroller in a cubby area to give us more room. The service and food here is excellent. read more

My husband and I stopped by per a friends recommendation. I made a reservation - it does get pretty busy. We were there on a Wednesday night and it was packed . We opted for the small beef combo, and we left feeling VERY full. They cooked all of our meat for us . Great setup of banchan . The kimchi stew was delicious . I have nothing bad to say about this place . I think it's well worth what you pay . Our server, Konnor, was great, and the manager helped him out in the times that he had to tend to other tables. We will definitely be back ! read more

Ari Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

Came here on a Friday night and it was busy! We were glad we had a reservation. Don't forget to put your coats in the bucket seats so they don't smell like a grill! Service was friendly, and they cook the meat for you at your table. They were a little chaotic at times, nearly burning me while replacing the grill and accidentally flooding our cooked meats (on the rim) with water when trying to reset the grill. We had the 4 person package, which was the perfect amount of food for the four of us. I eat more than most people but it balanced out across the group. The soups were really good. I really liked both of the ones we got. The sides are typical but solid. The meats were overall good, but some were lacking in flavor a bit. I didn't fully realize that until like the 4th one, which was marinated. That one was delicious and the others really seemed a bit bland before/after that. Overall it was a fine experience. Would I come back here? Sure, if someone suggested it. Would I rather try somewhere new instead? Probably, since there are many kbbq options in DFW and this one didn't blow me away. read more

We made reservation for 12 for dinner. It's Tuesday evening and there are ppl waiting for table to enjoy. It's a clean restaurant and a la carte, not AYCE. The waiter also cooks for us and are so sweet. Our family need and want this and that, but no issues, service was great. Meats are fresh. Lots of sides were provided and also replenished if requested. We did the 2 large platter order for the family. It was more than enough. Soju also was good for all of us to enjoy. read more

I like their service here. But food wise it's a hit and miss. We did the beef combination for 2 people cause we thought it was a better deal.. hmm I think it's great you get to try multiple meat options but do note the portions are a lot smaller. I ended up ordering additional meat cause I was still hungry. I highly recommend the marinated short rib and the finger ribs! Very good. Their Kim chi is delicious too. Corn was just okay- I wish it was cheesier. I think next time, I'd order a la carte! read more

Ari Korean BBQ in Carrollton is a nice, simple place to try Korean BBQ. The meat tastes fresh and they cook it for you right at the table, which is pretty cool. I like the combo platter because you get to try a few different kind of meat, and the sides like pickled veggie and soup was good. The restaurant is cozy but a bit nosy, the staff is friendly and helpful. Prices are fair for the quality, and it's not all you can eat, but you get a good amount of food. read more

One of the better KBBQ places in Carrollton. It gets pretty packed during the weekends so come early. There's lots of space and around 30-40 tables. The food is delicious, we got the beef meal for 2 people. You get unlimited corn with cheese and egg along with the bonchons and rice. There's limited parking in the front but the location is part of a larger shopping center with lots of space read more

The food quality, seating, and every single staff that helped us was fantastic! Super friendly. My family and I throughly enjoyed our dinner :) read more

To start off, the service was amazing. Even the manager came to greet us and ask how everything was! The servers basically cooked for us and cooked the food perfectly at that. I forgot to take a photo, but I order the the small beef and pork combo and my husband and I almost couldn't finish it!! He says this is definitely his new favorite spot, "totally not cause the corn and eggs" read more

Ari Korean BBQ - All the starters they give you - Korean Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

The atmosphere strikes that rare balance between cozy and elevated--soft lighting, thoughtful décor, and an energy that makes you feel instantly welcomed. It's the kind of environment where conversations flow easily and time seems to slow down just enough for you to savor every moment. The staff deserves their own standing ovation. Every person I interacted with was warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in making the experience memorable. They anticipated needs without hovering, offered thoughtful recommendations, and carried themselves with the kind of confidence that comes from truly loving what they do. The food--WOW. Every dish felt like a love letter from the kitchen. Beautifully plated, perfectly seasoned, and bursting with flavor. You can taste the care in every bite, from the freshness of the ingredients to the creativity behind each combination. It's the kind of meal that lingers with you long after you've left, the kind you find yourself thinking about days later. read more

Being from LA, we're extra critical of Korean food since Ktown in Los Angeles is pretty unbeatable. Ari was legit. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality, the service and vibe here on a busy Saturday night. The combos are the way to go if you're looking for a solid sampling of meats. They come with all the sides and kbbq supplements, including jigaes (soups), salad, corn, egg, banchans. It was a fun experience. Great for small and large parties. read more

Honestly, Ari Korean BBQ blew me away. I've been to a few Korean BBQ spots before, but this one just hit different. The meat was super fresh, and you could taste the quality. We didn't have to do any of the grilling ourselves; the staff cooked everything at the table, and they paid attention to timing and made sure nothing was overdone. The side dishes were nonstop and all really good, not just filler. I'm still thinking about the steamed egg and that cucumber salad. The vibe was chill, too. Even though the place was packed, we never felt rushed or ignored. Left feeling full but not gross, which is rare for BBQ. Worth the price. read more

The food here has much to be desired. The side dishes are lacking in flavor and so is the marinated meat. The meat quality is okay it's not bad it's not good but for marinated meat there's barely any flavor. The service is great though. The server and host were very courteous and accommodating. But for the price this kbbq isn't worth it. read more

Ari Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

One of the best meals I've had in my visit to Dallas. Parking wasn't bad at all and we got seated right away on a Friday evening. Although I hear wait times can be high so a reservation is typically suggested. Definitely higher quality meats than what I had at the AYCE places. You definitely get what you pay for here and prices can be a bit higher than most places I've been in Houston and it's worth it. I really like the short ribs and pork belly, the banchan/and soup were okay, can't go wrong with the rice/kimchi/meat combo, and also like how they attached the eggs/corn on the side of the grill. Service was attentive and they even help cooked the meats for us. I liked how the grill is setup closer to the edge so the waiters can reach and cook fairly easily. Overall a great experience, can definitely see myself coming back next time I'm in town. read more

Ari Korean BBQ is one of those spots that reminds you why Korean barbecue is such a fun, communal experience -- and this one absolutely delivers. We waited about 45 minutes for a table, but it was well worth it. From the moment we were seated, the staff made the experience exceptional -- friendly, attentive, and clearly well-trained in customer service. Their timing was great, and they managed the flow of the meal smoothly without ever making us feel rushed. The food was excellent -- everything you'd expect from Korean BBQ, and then some. The meats were fresh, well-marinated, and perfectly cooked at the table -- not by us, but by the staff, which added an upscale touch and allowed us to just sit back and enjoy the flavors. The side dishes (banchan) were plentiful and delicious, rounding out the experience nicely. If you're in the area and craving Korean BBQ done right, Ari is well worth the visit -- even if there's a wait. You'll leave full, happy, and already planning your next meal there. read more

under new owners but still taste great. I honestly don't know if I can go to another Korean BBQ house!

When I come to this establishment, it usually is very nice. The food is very well. The service is top-notch but today on March 14. I had a bug in my salad. My food was okay. The service was trash and I was cooking my own meat so if you want to cook your own meat, have a bug in your salad and not get good service I highly recommend you come here. read more

So yummy! I love how the combo came with salad, soup and all the sides. I was so full by the end and couldn't finish all the sides. They were very attentive to us. The servers cook the meat for you which is different than other places I've been. I was pleasantly surprised though bc I was able to enjoy my food and not worry about attending to the grill all night! I got to sit back and relax and eat! read more

Ari Korean BBQ - Beef combo - Korean Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

I can't think of a single bad thing about Ari. The meat quality is great and that's not even factoring in the price. The combos are a good deal, but we know exactly what we like so The amount of meat you get for each order is considerable, and our family of 3 is very full from an order of galbi and samgyupsal. This isn't an exaggeration when I say we dine here weekly. At this point, we know most of the staff, but even before that, the service here was amazing. It's the main reason we kept coming back. We just had another great dinner here last night, and when we asked our daughter today what she wanted to eat, she said Ari. It took a lot of persuading to change her mind. The owner, the managers, the servers, the hosts... everyone is awesome at Ari. You won't be disappointed! read more

The meal was well worth the amount as far as servings go, I would say the meat options could have used more flavor. The staff was super nice and I would definitely go back if not just to eat the kimchi soup, which was my fav!! We were sat quickly and its nice to have a table that's not shared with others. read more

45 minutes wait and it's worth it! The restaurant is spacious so I don't feel like a packed sardine. The hood vent is very strong so I don't smell like bbq after . The price is very fair and good size portions. We ordered a dinner combo for 4 for 5 of us and still have a lot to take home. Our waitstaff is very on top of things and giving us a very pleasant dining experience. The bathroom is clean and so is the dining area. read more

Okay fam. Let's talk Korean BBQ. Like all of you probably, I've been to multiple Korean BBQ spots in my time, some of which were all you can eat. Ari is head and shoulders above the rest. Although it's not a buffet, the quality of the meat is absurd. The service is so exceptional also, as they cook your food for you. The sides are also incredible. I highly, highly recommend this spot and will definitely be back. read more

Ari Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

Ari is the restaurant we frequent most. I started becoming aware of this when a majority of servers (who are all super friendly- one reason for the stars ) were saying some version of "welcome back" whenever we showed up. Admittedly, it was after hearing "wow twice in one week!" that I realized a review was overdue. Having tried a lot of Korean (and other kinds of) BBQ, this one stands out for me. Everything at Ari is consistently very good, and that reliability is the first thing I think of. Like many other Korean bbq, Ari has a selection of meats to choose from. While we have some favorites (seasoned prime short rib) all of them are very good. I love the soybean soup and the salad with its very tasty dressing. The egg and cheese corn which cook alongside the grill seem to always be kept full. I don't know what all the sides are other than kimchi and my favorite pickled radish, but there are many. While water is provided, we like to ask for the buckwheat tea as well. Service is really good here- servers are very friendly and attentive- which for me earns an extra star. read more

This is the best KBBQ spot I've been too! We recently ordered the beef combination. The quality of the meat was great, the sides included were tasty, and there were enough seasonings/sauces to make everything really enjoyable. The sake selection is nice, we ordered yakult soju that was good and easy to drink. The waitress was sweet and attentive. I will definitely be back! read more

If I could go here all the time for KBBQ, I would... it's a bit pricey, but if you go with friends or are looking to splurge, I would recommend this place in a heartbeat! The meats here are really great and while I don't mind cooking at the ayce places we go to, having them cook is also super nice! The banchan here is the best and I think I probably ate 3 bowls of salad, the dressing is that good! Service was super fast, and they got us whatever we needed almost ASAP. Great experience, definitely wishing I was eating this right now. read more

Ari Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

If I could them 10 stars I would! Stopped in for the first time this weekend & needed to order an item for to go. I found the options available to be great choices. I love galbi ribs so I chose this bowl which also came with rice and noodles along with traditional Korean sides of kimchi, pickled cucumbers & one other item that I don't know the name of. Most of the time you have to choose at other places between rice or noodles so it was a pleasant surprise that it came with both. This bowl was delicious!! It had a great amount of galbi & noodles that were robust in flavor. I should've ordered another one for later too, but that's another reason to go back soon. Let me digress to the point of when I put in the order because I would be remiss if I didn't speak to the amazing level of customer service the gentleman provided. After putting in my order, he asked if I would like something to drink and I ordered an ice water. I told him I would be back in a little while and was about to stand outside to wait. While I was standing outside and gone down towards another business, I hear my name & to my surprise he brought my water out to me. I was really appreciative of just that alone but went into the boba tea place to look at their menu and order. While at the register I hear my name again; He brought my to go order to the counter while I was there. Now if that's not EXCELLENT customer service, I don't know what is! He wanted to make sure I got it hot, quickly & didn't have to go back in to pick it up. In a fast pace world where sometimes people just want to get you in and out of there without giving a reason to patronize a business again (with less than up to par customer service) Ari stands out!! I don't know them at all & had not ever been in there until Sat. but if this is how they treat even the to go customers, this speaks volunteers in a profound way on how everyone that walks in the door matters; Furthermore, our business is appreciated. From the time I walked into Ari, the warm, genuine smiles left me feeling welcomed while the food and additional level of customer service leaves nothing else to be desired. I'll definitely be back & have already bragged on your business to friends already who plan on visiting soon! Sincerely, Minh Smith! read more

My new fav korean bbq spot whenever I come visit Dallas. The staff is friendly and we have quick service. The inside is nice and I like how the tables have a little vent above the grill. Not often do I find a kbbq place where someone comes to the table to cook your meats for you. So it is nice being able to just chill and not have to worry about cooking like your other kbbq spots. All the meats we ordered were very delicious and flavorful. All the side dishes they provide is very tasty and I love how this spot has cheese corn and egg on the grill. Need to come back and try more things off their menu. Wish we had a korean bbq spot like this back in New Orleans. read more
