We really love Arisu! This is not all you can eat but ala carte. The meat is high quality. They cook the meat for you. They serve hot barely tea which I love! Their banchan is refillable twice, but really once was enough for us. The radish paper, bean sprout salad, fish cake, green onion and regular kimchi were my faves. We got the beef combo with short rib, brisket, and marinaded steak. It was delicious, great quality. This second visit our first female server has the no emotion, no customer service skill, genZ attitude. Didn't seem to know the menu. The servers were all very friendly or just came by to cook. Our first visit we had a great server and cook that made me want to come back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is good for groups and very airy. On weekends it can be a bit Smokey.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's def pricey at $99 for this combo (May 2026) but it's worth it to me. Gota eat beef before prices are even higher! The seafood pancake was huge with a lot of green onion and seafood bits. We had to take it home. $30 in May 2026. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Good Korean bbq spot, but definitely crowded and hard to get into.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My party of 6 waited around 25 minutes to get a table around 5:30pm, and we ended up getting sat at separate tables for 3 people, which was kind of a bummer since I saw them prepare a 6 top- which probably went to bigger parties. In terms of food, we decided just to get their seafood pancake, spicy buckwheat noodles with raw fish, and normal buckwheat noodles. I really liked their seafood pancake. It was heavy with egg and scallions and plenty of hearty seafood. I'd say the noodles were on the pricier side as a much simpler dish, however for the noodles, they give you a big bowl of the noodles along with a smaller one, which makes it perfect for sharing. The service was pretty quick, they just might not be able to come by your table too much since this place seems to be busy often. It's alright prices and the food is good, but I wouldn't make it a regular food spot. read more

3 years later and I'd say still one of the best Korean bbq in the area! The quality of any type of meat you choose will be top tier, the banchan selection is different varieties. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have gotten so busy since we started going so that's really good to see.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Their staff is always on top of everything, and the inside reminds us of Korea everytime.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Arisu Korean BBQ - Dinner - Korean Near Me - Buena Park, California

First time here, and everything was great! The side dishes were all so tasty. We ordered the BBQ combo--grilled seasoned whangTae (my friend thought it was a bit undercooked) and the spicy marinated raw crab, my favorite! Not too spicy and absolutely delicious--I finished the whole dish. Even writing this now, I'm craving it again ! The servers were super nice and took great care of us, cooking the meats and making sure everything was perfect. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

It was my first time here with my bf and his friend and we ended up getting combo B that was $160 that feeds 2-3 people along with an order of their chive pancake which was HUGE. What's nice about this place is that they cook for you and the meat was very yummy and tender. Service is great and I'd come back here again. Chive pancake was to die for. I'll be back!! read more

Okur...it is on the pricier side here but it is fair pricing due to quality food and the servers cook your meat!!! My hubby an I felt like movie stars b/c we were not used to this treatment, it was niiice. The cold noodles here do use the thinner noodles like angel hair almost so that may be a preference thing for people. The mul (water) broth was good, side dishes good and meat was really good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's busy every time I'm here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Theres a kbbq grilling area and a non kbbq area where you can just order soups and different non grill assoc. items.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Got the raw crab and that was pretty good and I thought the best price for amount given. It was a special at the time I went. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's clean, booth seating for kbbq mostly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking plaza spaces are kind of tight. I like going here for a lil more special occasions, but it could be some people's everyday. If I could, I would. read more

Clean kbbq place with quick service and ample parking. Went here for a weekend dinner - you can make an rsvp but we walked in - it tends to clear up of customers after 7:30. Ordered the combo for 4 people and also ordered some pork belly. The server cooked everything very quickly and was spot on. The meat quality was good for the price also. A decent variety of banchan also. I do like the ventilation here as well. Would come back! read more

Is chef changed or what?? Ordered the beef rib and chicken soup, but the chicken was undercooked. We sent it back, and when it came out again, it was still red and didn't look fully cooked (see photo). The soup also had a strong, unpleasant smell. My mom couldn't eat it at all. read more

Arisu Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Buena Park, California

We reserved the larger private party room. It was ample for 38 people. The wait staff was attentive and allowed our group to order and pay by family groups. The food arrived quickly. Some folks had Korean BBQ. Others had hot stone bibimbap and others, delicious hot stews. I especially like their kimchee jigae! We ordered pajun pancakes and japchae as appetizers. They were fresh, hot and flavorful. The food is consitently delicious at Arisu. Thank you for accommodating our Family Reunion Korean dinner. read more

My parents recommended this place, saying that the quality of meat was better than others around the area. We had six adults and two kids who can eat quite a bit. We got beef combo A to start. The servers cook the meat for us, which is always nice because my husband grumbles about paying for Korean bbq and having to cook it ourselves. There was only one marinated meat, which my dad always says is usually a cheaper cut and tries to always get non marinated meat. I personally like the marinated meat but both were very good with high qualifies of meat. We also had the kimchi stew, tofu stew and steamed eggs and it was delicious. We were still hungry after combo A so we had the mul naengmyun and spicy mixed naengmyun and they were both refreshing and delicious. We then also get chicken and pork belly. The chicken was so tender and the pork belly had the perfect fat to meat ratio. Overall it was a very expensive but delicious experience. You definitely get what you pay for here. read more

I was always looking for a good (means in quality) Korean restaurant in LA, and found here at last after asking local residents around. I always went to Morangak, which I believed the best in LA (or might be in CA), but now I have another ( or I slightly weighed here in the variety of menu items). I'm living San Diego and drive to OC every other week to eat, but may do every week from now on. read more

The server told us that if we wanted the extra noodles included with the cold noodle combo, each person at the table had to order their own item. We were a party of four and ordered two cold noodle combos and one seafood pancake. Even though the seafood pancake is large enough to share between two people, we were repeatedly pressured to order another main dish just to qualify for the extra noodles, so we ended up adding another item. We had far too many leftovers and no where in the menu does it state you have to order per person for the combo deals. It made the experience feel unnecessarily restrictive and left us feeling uncomfortable rather than welcomed. read more

I stop by Arisu every time I'm in Buena Park, and it's become one of my favorite places to eat. Anna always takes such great care of us and makes us feel welcome every visit. The food is consistently delicious, and the service is truly top-notch. If you're looking for authentic Korean food with amazing hospitality, I highly recommend Arisu. I'll definitely keep coming back! read more

There's a lot of parking available. Excellent service! They cooked the meat for you. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I enjoyed the ambience very well because there was no hip-hop K-pop music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Excellent side dishes, a variety of side dishes. The meat was good, but I've had better. read more

My family and I come here pretty often for kbbq esp when I'm in town visiting. It's our go-to place and the best spot in Buena Park when you're needing a kbbq fix imo. Combo A, cold naengmyun, and marinated crab is what we usually get! I recommend. read more

TERRIBLE SERVICE. The worst I've ever experienced. And I can't get myself to give them a pass because it was a "busy" lunch time rush. I've been to many kbbq spots that were way busier with a lot more tables, and the service was nowhere near as bad as it was today. You really can't even call it "service" because the servers literally make you feel like you've inconvenienced them by coming into the restaurant and giving business to the establishment. Like many of the reviews written previously, my family and I experienced the same incredibly poor service, from the angry looking servers, to slamming dishes on our table, no acknowledgment that they heard you when you've asked for something, the major attitudes you get whenever the servers actually come around, to the point where although the girl server was supposed to cook the meat, we told her we can cook it ourselves, because we didn't want her toxic energy around. Spend your money elsewhere - There's many kbbq restaurants with better quality meats, dishes with bigger portions, and better service!! read more

Took my parents here for Father's Day and it was pretty packed. Surprisingly the service was still good. The quality of the meats were really good. Then again I've been here multiple times and never been disappointed. We got the combo B which was $160 and ordered the cold noodles and couple other stuff not pictured. It can get loud inside but it's a busy restaurant so not unexpected. All in all this is a good place but not cheap and you get what you pay for. I give this place a 10/10. read more

Visited Arisu on a Wednesday night and I wasnt really impressed. Usually I take about 2 hours at a kbbq, but this place was rushing for us to finish even though they have asked us if we wanted to take things slow or fast. Plus, they cook the food for you. Since I was meeting up with a friend here, we definitely took our time. However, staff kept staring us and made it evident they wanted us out even though it was only us and another party at the restaurant at 7 pm. Overall, might come back for a quick bite vs a place to catch up. They are decent, service just seems a little pushy. read more

Arisu Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Buena Park, California

Arisu Korean BBQ is hands down my go-to spot whenever I'm visiting LA/OC. Honestly, I think it might even be better than a lot of the well-known places in K-town! Everything here is incredibly tasty, but the galbi-naengmyun truly stands out it's absolutely delicious. Their meat quality is excellent! You won't see too much fat attached to their galbi like other places. The noodles are made in-house, so the quality is unmatched perfectly chewy with a refreshing, flavorful broth. The ambience is really nice and super clean. To top it off, the staff is always extremely friendly and their hospitality is top-notch. I live in San Francisco and haven't found a Korean restaurant up here that even comes close to Arisu. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for amazing Korean BBQ and a great dining experience! read more

When the restaurant is full of customers, you know it's going to be good. Even though it was so busy, the staff were super friendly and really efficient even with all those customers.

We had marinated galbi and ssam jungsik, 2 soy marinated crabs, cold noodle in soup and spicy noodle. All the dishes were delicious but soy marinated crabs were incredible. They were bit pricy but the sizes were huge. So much meat! The rice, seaweed, sesame oil on the crab cover was to die for. We really enjoyed the food and I can feel that Arisu will be one of our favorite restaurant. read more

We love, love, love this Korean restaurant! The meat quality is excellent and the prices are fair. They have really good boneless kalbi and brisket. I especially love the cold radish soup and japchae ban chan! We are usually the only non Korean guests which is always a good sign. The servers are very attentive and do their best, although they tend to be understaffed. Be prepared to wait during the lunch and dinner rush. Coming earlier in the day is a better option. I highly recommend Arisu Korean Bbq! read more

Good cold noodles, bbq & side dishes. Prices are on the higher side but then eating out has gone up significantly in the last few years. I like the openness of the restaurant & clean appearance. Servers are usually friendly & attentive. This is a good option if you don't want to wait too long at another cold noodle & bbq place about a mile away. The wait here is usually very reasonable. They opened another restaurant in the same shopping plaza so I will check it out and see if they serve different food at the sister location. read more
