    brisket - 차돌박이 (just ok)
    Jennifer Y.

    Amazing service, great food, and the prices are very competitive for what you get. So what do you get? You get a full service meal where the servers cook your meat for you as you eat it hot off the grill. The side dishes were good. Steamed egg, corn cheese, and one choice of soup comes with your meal along with side dishes and rice of course. I can't recommend enough their boneless prime short rib. It literally melts in your mouth! Please trust me on this and just get it!! Weekends can get busy so expect a wait. Plenty of parking available.

    The short rib is incredible. Wish they let you have more than one order... went with some Asian and white friends, we all had a blast. The sushi was good too. Really enjoyed the premium pork belly. They cook for you which is nice too!

    Various Korean Side Dishes (Banchan)

    Went Saturday night for dinner with some friends. Decent parking outside but can be packed during peak hours. Had to wait about 20 minutes for a table. Once seated, the waiter was helpful in explaining the menu options. Decided to try the a la carte option instead of all-you-can-eat. This included several dipping sauces and a variety of Korean sides like steamed egg and cheese corn. We ordered 3 meats - Bulgogi, Thin Sliced Prime Brisket, and Thick Sliced Pork Belly. We really enjoyed the Bulgogi which was well marinated. Overall, great food and atmosphere to spend time with friends. The staff were attentive and cooked the meat for us on the grill!

    Ari Korean BBQ is definitely one of the top contenders in the area if you're looking for a step up from the standard all-you-can-eat (AYCE) spots. It's a great pick for a "date night" or a celebration where you care more about the quality of the beef than the quantity.

    Very good quality meat and I'm glad that the servers will cook for you! There was plenty of banchan, and my favorite was definitely the cucumber. We got the combo menu for 3 people as well as a kimchi fried rice. The meats were all cooked perfectly and again were of great quality. The kimchi fried rice was all right, but I love the parts that become crispy at the bottom.

    I sadly did not think Ari was that good, and it was overall a pretty underwhelming meal. For almost $40 per person that's not AYCE, I also thought the amount of meat you get and the quality of ingredients was not worth it. It's nice that they help you cook the meat, but I felt like everything was just okay. Side dishes didn't have any standouts, the kimchi stew was incredibly salty, and the corn wasn't sweet at all. The meat portions were also very small for two people, and I could tell the quality wasn't the best.

    This is my favorite kbbq place for high quality meats in a casual setting! The prices are a little higher and it is a la carte, not AYCE, but I really think the meat quality and marinade here is great! We always order the prime rib finger meat. You can order a set of beef or pork for 2, 3, or 4 people, which gives you several different cuts to try. However, after getting this combo before, I find the marinated prime finger meat to be the best out of those cuts, as it is super tender and has a wonderful marinade! The entree for the prime finger rib meat is $31 and is a pretty good size! If you order 2 or more meats, you also get a side of stew, your choice of kimchi or bean stew. I like the bean stew more as it has more flavor in my opinion, the kimchi one is a bit too sour for my taste. They also give you corn cheese and egg on the side of the grill with salad and rice! We also tried the thinly cooked spicy pork belly this time, and the marinade is a little more watery making it less greasy. It also is a ton of meat for $27! Service is great, they cook the meat for you and check on you often. Additionally, they have great smoke vacuums above the grill so it does not smell at all and it is nice and cool inside. Love coming here for a bit of a nicer kbbq!

It is a nice spot to enjoy a meal with friends and family or even on your own. The grilled pork ribs are big, meaty, tender, and juicy. It's glazed in slightly sweet sauce and it has a smoky charred flavor from being grilled. A hearty yummy must try dish when you are here. The bibim naengmyeon or korean spicy cold noodles had a good amount of that spicy sauce mixture (not very spicy if you're worried about that), and it is refreshing with the kimchi and radish. You can even doctor it up with the vinegar and mustard they provide to compliment the dish. The banchan spread includes kimchi, cucumbers, fish cake, salad, and a korean sweet mashed potato. Great bites to pair with the entrees. Overall, the food came out at a reasonable speed, so service is good. Nothing too notable in terms of service and ambiance but the food is good if you want a no frills, simple, hearty korean meal!

We opted for the Beef and Pork Combo B (difference is bone-in prime rib and bigger quantity). The prime rib was fantastic (cooked medium) and pork jowl was juicy. We also tried the brisket but it was on the leaner side so it was a tad bit chewy. We had an array of banchans like kimchi, cucumber salad, steamed egg, tofu soup, corn, daikon, fish cakes, etc. We also tried the Seafood Pancake. Though it wasn't stuffed with seafood, it was perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Two servers rotated cooking our meats and were so skillful that the meats never burned. They gave us to-go boxes that had aluminum foil lining the bottom so the grease doesn't soak through. That was thoughtful! My only concern was the ventilation system. When we walked in, it was really smokey. I noticed the smoke from our grill not being sucked in by the vent directly over us. Maybe it wasn't on or maybe it wasn't strong enough. Either way, a lot of smoke was filling the restaurant.

The galbi tang is the best Korean soup that I've ever had. Yes, it's better than soondubu (tofu stew) or budae jjigae (army base stew). Our family makes both of these stews at home but once we discovered the galbi tang here, we order it at least once a month. Ok maybe at least twice a month lol The ajumma here is the sweetest person and I like to tell myself that everything from the soups to the banchan are her homemade recipes. I have no way of confirming if that's even true but even the banchan is delicious. My husband discovered this place when he ordered something here once last winter. I forget what it was but he was given a side of galbi tang in a small, stainless steel bowl and the rest is history. I love this place, I need it to be around forever so please come eat here and enjoy. You're welcome. My only suggestion is that I wish they would sell the banchan sets because I would buy them and eat them with rice. Delicious!

Ok, KCF was AWESOME. My wife is not always a big Kimchi fan and I had to fight her on these pieces :D We basically almost were gonna lick the paper if there was no one around, so if you do go here, absolutely get this one. Next we got the 10 PC wings. These have to be some of the best fried chicken I have had in DFW area. Seoul Hot is an amazing flavor. Not spicy but just a nice sweet heat that feels amazing. BBQ Soy Garlic was great too, but next time we are getting 20 of just the Seoul Hot haha. We also got drinks - Wife got the highball which had a decent punch and I got the yogurt Soju which made sure that I was zoom zoom zoom-ed by the end (we were super tired that day too so it felt just good and right).
