I had my birthday dinner at ARI and it was my first time trying Korean bbq. I’m absolutely blown and amazed by the experience. They served a variety of palate cleansers (?) like kimchi, salads, potato wedges etc. we ordered the wagyu and chicken bulgogi, garlic shrimp and wagyu brisket for our mains and cheesy fried rice, tater tots, chicken katsu and chicken wings for the sides. Literally everything was amazing, flavorful and well-made. Special shoutout to our server who was super polite and knew what he was doing. One thing I was really impressed with was how organized everything was. I’m Muslim and only consume halal meats so I was worried about contamination with the pork dishes but our meats were prepared on our table with dedicated tongs and shears so there was minimal risk of contamination with pork which made our experience extremely satisfactory. I really think the experience was worth the money. Keep it up! They also gave us complementary cake slice even though we didn’t tell that it was my birthday but it made my experience even more special.

Ari is such a great Korean restaurant in a very convenient location – the crossind of Medlock Bridge and State Bridge Rds in the plaza with coffe houses, cinema and other restaurants! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming – perfect for a family dinner. Their new menu offers so many delicious options, and everything tastes super fresh and authentic. I love that they cook the meat right on the burners at your table – it’s such a fun and unique experience! I also adore all the little appetizers that come with the meal, especially the marinated radish and kimchi. The vegie pancakes are great too! The staff are friendly and make you feel right at home.
Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to!

I like this place. I went there couple of years ago with family. Back then they had some options for ordering different stuff. But now they only have all you can eat and it’s $60 per person. Little expensive if you don’t eat a lot. My wife is tiny and only eats few bites before she is full, but she had to get the all you can eat option because that’s the only thing they offer when it comes to halal food. She was done after the first serving and I had 2 more. I just wish they had other options for people who just want smaller portions.

One of the nice Korean BBQ places. It is conveniently located at the corner of State Bridge Road and Medlock Bridge Road. It was quiet and relaxing dining experience during a weekday. Our server was good and cooked in front of us. They offer coffee, cake as well.

Very beautiful Korean BBQ. The price is worth the experience. The ambiance was very modern and elegant. I enjoyed the kpop on the projector.
The food was fresh and full of flavor and it was cooked directly in front of us by our server. The drinks were mature and complimented the meal.
The bathroom was beautiful and clean, so clean you could possibly eat in there also. I would definitely return. My only regret is that I did not try anything from the cake shop.

well I invited two of my friends who just got engaged to have some high quality food and to be honest everything matches with what we expected. Jess took care of us and she did very well she was so nice and informed about the food quite well. Everything was very good and the atmosphere was great so I can easily recommend you to visit here.

* Halal wagyu
* Hawaiian Bulgogi > Spicy Bulgogi >> Bulgogi > Short rib > Brisket
* Spicy Tokbyoki is great
* Katsu is good, but I’ve found it can be hit or miss on some days
* Kimchi Fried Rice was whatever
* Cheese Corn is good for those who like cheese corn
* Fried Chicken is good, but prioritize the Bulgogi

My friends and I have been going here for a long time. Love the place. It was our ritual to go here once a month. But, lately we have been disappointed with the quality of their brisket. I’m not sure if they have changed their wagyu supplier or have gone for a lower scored meat. But, it has gone down in quality. Hopefully, they bring it back to the original wagyu that they had…
