The server was nice and friendly. THE FOODS/DRINKS: Decent place but nothing that really stood out. I wish the seafood pancake had a crispier outside but it was filled with lots of shrimp and squid. The spicy pork and spicy rice cake were on the sweeter side for my taste but the soup was tasty and comforting.

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.

The cheese pork katsu was absolutely amazing--crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and perfectly complemented by the melted cheese. The shrimp was equally impressive, fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The standout item for me was the katsu sandwich. The combination of the crispy katsu, jalapeños, and spicy mayo created the perfect balance of crunch, heat, and flavor. Every bite was delicious. If you're looking for fresh, satisfying Japanese comfort food with some creative twists, this place is definitely worth a visit. I'll be coming back to try more from the menu!

There are seemingly a lot of Asian restaurants that use a) some amount of poor quality ingredients, b) some things are stale or too old to be served, or c) some other issue.

It was also a decent amount of food for the money, which seems hard to come by now. The inside seemed nice too, which isn't as common as one might think. We will be back!

We came by on a weekend during the lunch rush and looked at the menu pictures with prices and name and decided to go with the braised pork belly noodles. As for the noodles we went with the thin noodles over the wide noodles. We simply placed our order on the kiosk and were given a buzzer that beeps and lights up when the food is ready. Inside the food hall there are about 7 restaurants that offer a variety of Korean, Chinese, Malaysian and sushi along with boba tea. Inside was a bit dim with tables and chairs to sit at. Soon our food was ready, and we couldn't wait to dive in since the dish was looking prestige! The dish came with a hefty serving of freshly pulled noodles and a hot broth with simmered slabs of pork belly beautifully garnished on top along with blanched baby Bok choy cabbage. The broth was light and amazing packing a punch of flavor from the braised pork belly that was simmered in a variety of 5 spice seasonings. I could definitely smell the aroma of cinnamon, star anise, cloves, and fennel and it helped with my allergies and sinuses. The pork belly melted in my mouth while the noodles were cooked perfectly al dente and a bit chewy. Altogether we enjoyed this noodle dish, and we would come back in a heartbeat again to try more dishes and of course reorder the braised pork belly maybe with wide noodles next time since it tasted amazing!

Located in the food court of Jusgo Market, it's a small stall with very helpful people if you are new to this cuisine. Although, their menu is very clear, the person who will be taking your order is open for any question you might have. I ordered their Jingdong Pork Patty and Biangbiang Noodles. Both of which are flavorful and enjoyable. I had plenty of leftover but I was told that Biangbiang isn't good for next day and I can see why. It's not as chewy anymore due to the noodle absorbing the sauce. It has still a good flavor though. Will definitely comeback as there are still interesting menu item that I would like to try.
