    If you're a scallop lover you'll love this spot! Ariari is a Korean seafood joint from Hand Hospitality with super fresh and delicious scallops in the form of their famous scallop gimbap plate. The raw dishes (tartare, seasonal hwe, and ofc scallops) are always fresh and delicious, and the fried soft shell crab is also a standout. The uni cream bibimbap served in a hot stone bowl also can't be missed! Service is always great, friendly and efficient staff. Space itself is lively but on the smaller side though so make a reservation if you can, they're basically full every single night!

    duck bulgogi
    Laura H.

    FINALLY GOT TO GO!!! all hits, no misses, and the portions were surprisingly massive. it was super seafood-forward, but everything tasted so fresh. this literally might be the best squid iv ever had. it was sooo soft and that richness and slight char from the butter really emphasized its freshness without over powering it. and also the mushrooms were surprisingly gas, we were fighting for the last pieces. the dolsot al bap was small in quantity but mighty in flavor. its soo rich and sea-forward with the uni cream and flying fish roe, but the bits of green pepper really cut through the richness and make it an addicting bite. only complaint is why did our uni cream look so deflated ,,, anyways. the duck bulgogi was a bit heavy on the sauce, but i still enjoyed it nonetheless. i like how everything is a classic with a twist, definitely makes the experience worth it in and of itself. however, their menu is quite limited, so i don't know how many times i'll be running this. once you get your foot in the door, the service is quite fast, but the only banchan they give you is fresh kimchi (but its refillable!!!)

    If you get one dish here it should 10000% be the dolsot al bap. After the first bite, my friend and I both immediately said was one of the best dishes of any restaurant we've been to. Perfectly light combo of sea urchin cream & scorched rice. Unexpectedly delicious and packed with the perfect balance of flavors. Scallop diy gimbap was also very fresh and delicious (first time trying apple kimchi - so good). I had raw seafood for several consecutive meals before this so maybe that's why it didn't stand out as much lol but still yummy. Fried soft shell crab was good, but we definitely overordered for how full we already were, so looking back I would've skipped the crab and been perfectly satisfied.

    Amazing food here and would highly recommend. Everything was so good. Definitely need a reservation. Super cute interior.

    Made a reservation for Ariari at 5pm on Saturday. It's a bit of a small space, tables are close together, and filled up pretty quickly. The waiter came over quickly, and was thorough in explaining everything on the menu. We ordered: Yook-Hwe ($19) - beef tartare mixed with gochujang, blanched baby octopus, Korean pepper, cilantro, and a side of gim. There were a lot of textures and flavors going on when you ate everything in one bite. I would have preferred there to be more actual beef tartare, but my friend enjoyed it. Dolsot-Al-Bap with Uni ($20+$18) - hot stone bibimbap with flying fish roe, shellfish paste, sea urchin cream, and a side of uni. This was my favorite dish that we ordered. It was so flavorful. If you let the rice sit for a bit, you can enjoy a bit of a crisp. Crab Bibim-Myeon ($33) - Korean glass noodles, doenjang, crabmeat, shrimp, tobiko, zucchini. We had the impression that it was supposed to be cold when I ordered it, but it's a hot dish. We were not the biggest fan of this dish, though the presentation is nice. There are 2 unisex bathrooms in the back.

    Bread pudding

    Outstanding service and food. Everything I ordered was wonderful. The salad was fresh and crunchy, the yukhwe was also fresh and the sauces were delicious the texture was nice and worth it, dollop was one of the best things Ive ever ate it was creamy and flavorful and I look forward to getting it again and the bossom was tender and the veggies went perfectly. I also got the bread pudding which was sweet and warm loved the ice cream on top. The service was out of this world everyone was super friendly gave detailed explanations of the items and I even recieved a dessert and drink and I was very impressed. I have had service that wonderful in so long it was a wonderful experience. I understand the hype and well deserved.

    Really really cute and simple interior. All the workers were consistently hospitable. The egg rice is really yummy. I love how they added a variety of textured crispies so that you get a very satisfying chew. The crab noodle looks amazing, but I do think it had too heavy of a seafood flavor. I wish there were other strong notes to balance it out. The complementary kimchi is really spicy as well--but really good!

    Alisa J.

    Absolutely loved the food and service here. My friend and I have a multitude of allergies (shellfish and nuts) and the server and kitchen were very thorough and safe about it. There was only a limited number of dishes we could eat but they were delicious. The lotus salad was flavorful and very fresh. It may have been a bit overdressed but I loved it. The duck bulgogi was so delicious. Never had duck bulgogi and I think it's my new favorite bulgogi. It was cooked very well and was super flavorful. The ginger bingsoo was also super delicious and not too sweet. Would definitely recommend this Korean restaurant and even with the limited menu due to allergies I would definitely return. They do honor the 90 minutes dining reservation and did get kicked out because the next table was here. Not a huge deal but possibly could feel rushed.

    Yook-Hwe
    Jessica F.

    A most excellent dining experience from service, the ambiance and food with a great price point. The DIY scallop gimbap was extremely fresh. The Yook-Hwe was the star of the dinner show for me it was well balanced with quality ingredients. We ordered the soft shell crab which I never had and it was perfectly fried. The bread pudding was moist and not heavy at all adding an amazing finish to the meal. Will be back to try more menu items.

    Everything was so great! Walking in, it's a bit of a small space and fills up pretty quickly. Service is lovely, they explain everything and any specials and get everything out super fast. Scallops were so fresh, apple kimchi was delicious. The Dolsot Al-Bap was so yummy, creamy and flavorful. They mix it table side so it's very fresh. Def worth it. Also some of the best bosam ever, very tender and flavorful! Would def come back!

    Service: 4.6/5 Food: 4.4/5 Price: $30-$50 an interesting juxtaposition--the setting is super casual, while the food is more elevated. expensive for the portion size + they try to make up for it with premium ingredients. service is super quick--we ordered + dined in less than 1 hour. *what I recommend What I Ordered: - Complimentary Kimchi: unique, not very fermented, spicy - Scallop DIY Gimbap: fresh scallop, underwhelming flavor - Dolsot Al-Bap: super unique, a great comfort dish - Crispy Fried Crab*: wow, SO crispy, the only soft shell crab i've enjoyed

    Scallop gimbap
    Queenie H.

    The atmosphere is so homey and felt like everyone was just casually chatting over a nice meal. We started with the scallop diy gimbap which was so fresh and the perfect appetizer to share. My favorite dish of the night was the dolsot al bap - maybe one of my favorite dishes of the year. So savory and creamy with so much texture without being overpowering. My least favorite (but still good) was the crab bibim myeon just because it didn't stand out to me and was a tad watery for my preference. For dessert we got the ginger caramel bingsoo which is pretty ginger heavy and more on the savory side. The service is also excellent and the workers really make you feel at home. Highly recommend!!

    Soy Braised Lotus Root Salad
    Bruce H.

    I had a delivery order of Set D from this excellent Korean restaurant. I chose Soy Braised Lotus Root Salad, Fried Shrimp, Duck Bulgogi, Beef Su-Yook and an add-on of Yukhwe Bibimbop. It came with rice and lettuce salad. The lettuce salad had dressing that was the similar to kimchi marinade...very interesting. The standout dish was the fried shrimp, which came with a delicious dipping sauce that reminded me of an old Szechuan "mayonnaise shrimp" dish that I haven't seen in a long time...really excellent. The duck dish was very flavorful, and the lotus root salad was a big hit, too. The beef soup dish, filled with lots of soft tasty stew meat was mostly enjoyed the next day. This was a great dinner, that I thoroughly enjoyed. Packing was great. Delivery was fast. Highly recommended.

The effortless tranquility encourages you to slow down, enjoy the food, and get away from the everyday, hubbub. Their menu leans into fusion dishes with a nod to some of the classic home-style classics. Everything is presented with a refined, elevated touch. Here's what we ordered: ~ Tako Wasabi - 5/5 stars A fiery delight. This appetizer feartures chopped raw octopus marinated in wasabi. It has a lively zest from the wasabi and is topped with tobiko, which adds a pleasant contrast in texture. ~ Honey Makgeolli - 4/5 stars A traditional fermented Korean beverage that is light and pairs brilliantly with your meal. It is a cloudy alcholoic drink served in a metal teapot, and surprisingly, there is much more in that teapot than you would expect. It easily provides six to eight generous pours. The flavor is subtly sweet with a pleasant tang. ~ Temaki Set - 4/5 stars You can order a set of three by choosing from selections 1-17, or you can order a la carte at the listed prices. Some of the temaki stood out more than others. Our two sets included marinated salmon, bluefin tuna, spicy yellowtail, spicy bluefin, and two dynamite temaki. ~ Spicky Pork Ssam Set - 5/5 stars Truly another standout entree that even surpassed my beloved grilled BBQ bossam. You received a generous basket of assorte greens, including romaine, kale, perilla leaves, dandelion leaves, nappa cabbage, and more. It is well worth the price and makes for a fun, interactive dining experience with your family and friends. There is also various banchan offered and this time, they were beyond kind enough to offer refills. The last time we were here, we ordered just as much food and they stated they normally did not offer refills, which I thought was very odd. With its casual bougie aesthetics, this spot has quickly become one of my favorite eateries in Fort Lee-lee, It beautifully blends Korean, Japanese, and American flavors in a way that feels both comforting and elevated. Needless to say, we will be back!

One helpful tip: if you're making a reservation, be sure to double-check that you're going to the correct location. There's another restaurant with the exact same name directly across the street, so it can be a little confusing. Overall, I would definitely recommend giving this place a try!

We got the large set for 4 and there was more than enough food for everyone. Didn't order any drinks, but the meat quality was excellent, and our server cooked everything pretty well so we could just sit back and enjoy. The service was top-notch too. They kept bringing out refills of the side dishes including steamed egg without us having to ask, which I always appreciate. We made a reservation, which I'd recommend especially on a weekend, and got seated right away with no wait. The set also came with vanilla ice cream at the end.

    I had a wonderful experience dining at Moono for restaurant week. The interior was beautifully…read moredesigned with immaculate vibes. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and our waiter was ready to provide recommendations. The food was amazing for the price, but I liked some items more than others. I found the wings to be on the lighter side - it's not greasy, but it would not hit the spot if you are craving korean fried chicken. The shrimp pancakes were on the fluffier side, a bit bland, but I prefer flatter and crisper seafood pancakes. The yukhoe was alright, but I'm glad I gave it a try. I would recommend getting the acorn jelly, asparagus japchae, and/or hoe muchim for apps. I kept going back to them. The bossam was very yummy and fresh, and I very much enjoyed the cold noodles. Both of these items I would highly recommend getting. What really stole my heart was the burdock desert. It was not too sweet, perfectly creamy, and absolutely one of my top desert bites I've had in the city. I might go back just to order this again. Overall, the dining experience was fantastic would highly recommend giving Moono a try.

    Tried this spot for Restaurant Week and had a great experience. The $60 three course menu is a…read morereally good value. You get to choose three appetizers, two mains, and one dessert, so it's a great way to try a variety of dishes, especially if you're sharing. The service was friendly and attentive, even though the restaurant was pretty busy. We did have to wait about 20 minutes past our reservation before being seated, but everything went smoothly after that. The restaurant is beautiful inside- liked the interior design choices a lot! My favorite dishes were the asparagus japchae, lotus root gangjeong, and the Korean melon dessert. Overall really enjoyed the meal and would definitely come back to try the regular menu.
