If you're craving authentic Korean food in Plano, this spot delivers. Their signature grilled pork…read moreribs are the star of the menu--tender, flavorful, and perfectly charred. The seafood pancake is packed with seafood and comes out crispy on the outside, while the banchan (Korean side dishes) are fresh and plentiful. The atmosphere is casual and family-friendly, making it great for both lunch and dinner. Service can slow down during busy hours, but the food is worth the wait. Overall, a solid choice for authentic Korean comfort food in North Texas.

Maht Gaek has your traditional Korean food, no frills, the complete banchan spread, and the…read moredelicious pork ribs they are popular for. 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!

My friend and I ordered the following: Combo special w/ tofu soup and korean bbq ribs Cold arrowroot noodles Tofu soup was very comforting and had a good kick (I ordered the medium and it was just right).

Won BBQ is a la carte, which is nice because I didn't overeat and the quality of meats and service…read morewere exceptional. 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.

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.

This was my first foray into AYCE Korean BBQ. I saw a video on social media and decided to try it…read more FOOD: Lots of choices for sure. We had the la galbi, squid, pork belly and shrimp for proteins. Then had the kimchi rice and japchae--both very good. ATMOSPHERE: This is in an old business location that used to be Jin Korean. It is functional and definitely has a K-pop vibe going on. Very dated and the air conditioning needed to be cranked up. 100+ degrees outside and the pumped up grills in use were canceling out the air. SERVICE: Here is where ALL the deductions add up. The manager showed us to our table and left. A young man came and asked what we wanted to drink. (No name given-just turn on a light over the table to flag him down. Taken from Walmart's playbook.). There was a language barrier and we were reduced to asking for water. The nicest person tonight was the guy who changed out our grill. Despite telling 3 employees it was our first time there, no explanation on how any of this worked. TIP: Go somewhere else.

I usually don't go to a restaurant or food court and decide that I'm going there for the soup. But…read moreI'm getting older and sometimes, soup is all I want as a meal lol Believe me when I say that you do not want to sleep on this place. 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!

The strawberry puree had larger chunks of strawberry which was tasty but you need the larger boba straw for it. The kimchi fried rice was probably some of the best I've had. So flavorful, not too spicy and the bulgogi added the perfect sweetness. To add the bulgogi was +$6 which I thought was a little steep and I wasn't given a lot. But even for that high price tag, I'd order again. The breakfast hash had a very flavorful brown sauce that was addicting. But wouldn't order again. Service is minimal but good. And the girl helping us at the register was sweet and patient. There were enough tables and it was cute and relaxed inside. Would come again for that kimchi rice but I do feel like overall, a pretty expensive experience.
