I come here all the time since it's a close and convenient spot from my place. It's a family owned…read morerestaurant where you order and pay first at the counter and then help yourself to water/tea/utensils and sit down at a table. They will call you or bring your food out once ready. I can't say the pork bone soup is as good as the ones in Toronto but it's pretty decent and convenient for me. I've also tried the seafood pancake and spicy rice cakes and both were yummy. I noticed they have jam pong (spicy seafood noodles) and I would love to try that next!! When I go for dinner on week nights, I feel like it has been consistently busy-ish but not so busy that we can't get a table. You can also grab take out here. Attached to the restaurant is a small grocery/convenience store that sells Korean food and snacks.

I absolutely love this place. It is one of the few places in the city that still has a really…read morefamily restaurant vibe, and that everything is made by your parents. The prices for all the food is a bit more higher priced, but they have nice big portions. Would definitely suggest the Dolsot Bibimbop if you like having meat and a nice crisp fried egg! I haven't dined in (because of covid) but they have decent take out and delivery options. If you're going for take out, would definitely recommend dropping by the grocery store right beside it!

First time visiting and overall a good experience…read more Prices were reasonable and portions fair. Service was friendly and I liked that most tables had some privacy with dividers. We ordered the Army Pot which was spicier than expected, but still enjoyable. Side dishes were okay, and the kimchi pancake was a bit salty for my taste. A nice touch was being served both water and tea pitchers right away. Descent spot for Korean food in Ottawa.

Haven't been back to Alirang in a while and it seems to have gone downhill. We got the seafood…read morepancake, tangsuyuk, galbitang, pork kimchi jjigae, bulgogi and ojingeo bokum/spicy squid. - galbitang was very beefy with a good amount of tender beef ribs. - ojingeo bokum had a good amount of heat and the squid was cooked perfectly. - Seafood pancake was greasy but not crispy and the flour wasn't mixed evenly with pockets of doughy flour. - Bulgogi was standard. - Tangsuyuk was freshly fried but the crisp didn't hold up to the end of the meal and the sauce was a ginger forward and leaned more Chinese than Korean - Pork kimchi jjigae - lacked a depth of flavour, maybe the anchovy stock base?, and had tomato flavour in it which wasn't terrible but definitely not expected. Also, I didn't realize the restaurant is run by Chinese folks now. Not sure if it always has been but that to me explains why some of the dishes seemed to have some familiar chinese flavours. Service was quite slow and we had to actually make an effort in flagging down our server. Washrooms are quite dirty and the odour made its way into the dining room area.

I noticed this place open a few days ago and dropped in at lunch a few days later…read more The place looks like it's still being renovated but looks decent so far. I looked around and I thought you could only get a large order of fried chicken and was about to walk out the door but after asking about it the person working mentioned a lunch special. It's 5 pieces of boneless fried chicken, fries and 1 can of pop for $12.99. They really need a better lunch special but I decided to go with this. 10 minutes later and I had my lunch special and was out the door. I wasn't asked how I wanted the chicken and I did see 3 sauces on the counter. They did toss some seasoning on it before packing but I didn't get a good look at it. I decided to try it as is. I got home and was excited to try this. Chicken pieces weren't small but weren't large either. They seemed a bit bland but the fries were well seasoned and really crispy. The chicken was pretty crispy as well. Overall it was OK, probably one of the better fried chickens in the area. If you have a craving, give this place a try but there's a few places in town I do enjoy more. They did just recently open so they might still be working out the kinks. I'll probably head back another time in the future. If you have a fried chicken craving and are in the area, give this place a try! If you get it sauced let me know how it is!

Not bad fried chicken, though without the toppings, I think it would be a little bland, it's not…read moreflavourful chicken. It's my first foray into Korean fried chicken and I wasn't exactly disappointed but I wasn't exactly "wowed" either. I got the Golden Cheese chicken pieces, a small order. The cheese is a combination of real grated cheese (unsure of the kind, sorry) and Kraft Dinner (?) powder. I think it is a generous amount of chicken for a small order, I think I was served 10 various pieces for $21.99 + tip. I know that it is considered 'pricey' but these aren't small Buffalo chicken wings. They're decent sized drumsticks, actual wings, etc.. I could not finish it and will be bringing the leftovers home for my boyfriend to try. I would go back to try the "Golden Mustard" flavour/sauce, so I am not writing "Golden One Fried Chicken" off just yet.

So, I would only go back to In's Kitchen if I was by myself (or someone with whom I wasn't close) and wanted a simple lunch. That said, the food was good and the service was friendly.

I love Korean food, so was excited to hear about a new Korean restaurant. I got some takeout for my…read morehusband and I for dinner and overall the food was really good, but I found the prices a bit high, but I guess everything is expensive these days. I got the Beef Bulgogi Dinner ($22) and the Dakgalbi Dinner ($22). The Beef Bulgogi Dinner came with beef bulgogi, salad, Kimchi, pickled radishes, rice and a canned drink (I got a grapefruit Bubly). The Dakgalbi Dinner came with rice, a salad and a canned drink (I got a strawberry Bubly). I asked for no sesame seeds in the food and this request was gladly accommodated. The Beef Bulgogi was tasty. The meat was lean and not gristley like at some places. There was a tad too much onions in this dish for my liking, but it was still very good and and huge hit with my husband. The Dakgalbi was a bit spicy, nothing crazy though, not even lip tingles, lol, just a bit of a kick. The chicken was dark meat, but not too fatty. It had cabbage, sweet potatoes and rice cakes shaped like tubes. It was delicious. I loved the soft and chewy rice cakes. The salads were mostly shredded cabbage with pickled radishes. The salad dressing, served on the side by default, was a tangy citrus dressing. I really enjoyed it and loved that it came on the side without me having to request it that way. The cabbage was crunchy and fresh. The rice was purple rice and tasted good. The kimchi was mild, crunchy and not too pungent. I liked it. The pickled radishes were good too, not too sour. Service was courteous and friendly. They make the food to order. I'm really hoping they add Japchae to the menu and they are able to make it without sesame seeds, since at most restaurants it's premade and covered in sesame seeds and I can never have it, lol. In's Kitchen is across from the University of Ottawa Henderson Residences and very close to the campus. I'm sure it's popular with the students. The inside of the restaurant nice and it's more spacious than you would expect from looking at it from the outside. There's some outdoor seating as well. Street parking only.
