DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS PLACE!!…read more My husband and I found this place by chance and thought we'd give it a shot. I'm so glad we did! We ordered the Spicy Rice Cakes (Tteok-bokki) which was soo good! If you like mochi you will like this! It's slightly firmer in texture but it's deliciously bouncy and the sauce is mildly spicy and full of flavor. We also ordered the Stir-fried Glass Noodles and Vegetables w/Beef (Japchae) these are savory noodles with no spice with various sautéed veggies. They claim both of these are appetizers but they are huge portions! We also ordered the Grilled Pork Belly. They said this is their specialty and OH BOY IS IT!! They bring a grill/hot plate thing to your table and cook the pork belly right there next to you! They also bring out all sorts of sides such as kimchi, fresh lettuce, picked cucumber, cooked mushrooms, fish cakes, garlic, bean sprouts, lettuce with what I believe was gochujang sauce on top, flakey sea salt and possibly more if I'm remembering incorrectly. They even give you suggestions on how to eat it and it was the MOST DELICIOUS DISH! I am not a fan of fatty meat (and I ordered pork belly, I know!) but they crisp it up so nicely in the pan that I did not notice the fat. The plain meat by itself with a little sea salt on top was Divine but when you add it with some sautéd onion, garlic, bean sprouts, and kimchi on fresh lettuce..... there are no words for how delicious that is! And that is just the food! The customer service was phenomenal and the atmosphere was chill and cozy. Moral of my story is, EAT HERE! Give this place a try and I'm sure they won't disappoint you. 20/10 would recommend! I will be back because this place is GOLD!

Wow this place is so good! I can't wait to go back. I will totally get their grilled pork belly for…read moretwo again!! So fun to be able to eat it with the lettuce wraps and the cook on the pork belly is perfection! They explain how to eat it and cook it for you. The soondobu was decent though my medium spice was not that spicy and felt more like mild so I'm going for spicy next time! Altogether a wonderful experience!

Service was nice and friendly…read more Ramen broth was one of the best we've had in town (least for the katsuboshi pork ramen we ordered), however the pork belly itself was a bit tougher than I'd prefer. The pork katsu came out nice and crispy and the fried rice was good, while the curry sauce was on the saltier side. Overall pretty decent joint. Lots of interesting other menu options we'd like to try in the future.

The ramen was pretty good, and I enjoyed the food overall. However, the service was disappointing…read more I ordered a Thai Tea and waited a long time, but it never came. I asked about it several times, but it still wasn't served. The food was good, but the service definitely needs improvement.I wouldn't recommend the Thai Tea either. It wasn't very good.

The meat quality was very good. Much better than the recent meat quality at GEN…read more The appetizers were okay and some came out lukewarm but overall the process is easy and straightforward. Meat comes out super quickly and I couldn't complain. They do have an order limit to prevent waste but honestly I don't know anyone who could eat over the limit of 12 plates every 5 minutes. Anyone that thinks that is too low needs to go get checked out for tapeworms.

If I could give it a - 5 stars I would. The appetizers was cold. Was told that we can only order up…read moreto 12 items at one time and then wait 5 mins to order. Even if you order one, three or five items, there would be a 5 min wait before you can order again. The server had to take the rest of our orders everytime we need something after we asked if the items are coming. When we asked for more soup base, our server brought out HOT WATER and pour a tiny bit it didn't even fill up the soup. HOT WATER diliutes the taste of the soup base. When I asked him to refill it again he still only did a little. For $39 dollars and all you can eat, I expected better. Also my friends temputure control remote was broken and she had to pick it up everytime she wanted to change the temp. The dessert and hot items bar was disgusting. The crawfish was plain. The sushi looks old and disguesting. Ordered the Fried dough sticks, OMG so disgusting. It tasted so old and the putting it in the soup did not event helped at all. We saw the review before we got here and it was a raving review. Not what my group was hoping for.

We've been coming to Ari Korean BBQ for years since they first opened, and overall it's still one…read moreof our favorite spots. The food is consistently great, and when the staff is properly trained, the service is excellent too. The waitress with the toast necklace was honestly amazing and the highlight of our visit. Her communication was perfect. She asked exactly how we wanted the meat cooked, checked in on the pacing of the courses, and adjusted everything when we asked to slow things down. That level of attentiveness is what makes Korean BBQ enjoyable. At Ari, multiple staff members rotate between tables helping out, which is normally fine. Unfortunately, every time the more mature staff member came to our table, things started getting worse instead of better. After we had already explained that we preferred medium rare and wanted a slower pace, she came over, saw a little pink in the meat, turned the fire back on, and cooked it until it was overdone. She also started putting meat directly onto people's plates without asking first. Everyone at our table had different preferences. Some mainly wanted vegetables, our daughter preferred pieces with more fat on the sides instead of the more pink cuts, and some of us simply weren't ready for more food yet. Since we know everyone's preferences best, it would have made much more sense for us to serve the meat ourselves instead of having it automatically placed onto plates. What made it more awkward was that she kept placing food only into my tray and not anyone else's, which confused my wife and made the experience uncomfortable. She also started cooking additional courses before we had even finished the first two, despite us specifically asking to slow the pace down. The side dishes were also noticeably skimpy this visit compared to normal. Usually the portions are at least halfway filled, but this time some came out barely a quarter full. We kept asking for refills, especially for the daikon, and each refill only came with two or three small pieces. At that point it felt strange having to repeatedly ask for something that normally comes reasonably portioned. One suggestion for management: name tags would really help in a restaurant where the staff is actively cooking and interacting with customers. In a professional service environment, it would make communication much easier and more respectful if customers could address employees by name instead of describing them as "the toast necklace waitress" or "the mature lady." Still love Ari overall and will continue coming back. Hopefully this was just an off night and the communication/training issues get addressed.

I loved how light the broth was Really solid spot if you are looking for halal food in Dallas, especially if you are going with family. Would definitely come back!!

You have to order minimum of two skewers per meat you want to try. A couple of singles were okay but they don't want you to abuse that. I tried some lamb, beef (fat), chicken skin, pork belly and one with pickled cabbage. Overall all the meats were heavily seasoned and quite salty. The main season I think was cumin and salt. The lamb and beef fat were the lesser seasoned, tender and quite good even though I don't care for lamb very much. The pork belly was very salty. The chicken skin was salty and needed to be grilled longer to be crispier. Our friends ordered cucumbers and pig ears cold dish- great flavors!! I'm okay on the pig ears but I loved the smashed cucumbers. And someone got crispy fried pork (I think a sweet and sour sauce). It was very good and most popular item. Quite sweet but had soo much crunch! At the end, they gave us some tanghulu. The boy told us because we had a baby with us, his mom made us the tanghulu. Very sweet of them!
