Arirang Restaurant

Such a lovely, welcoming place. We were welcomed right away and seated quickly. Our waitress was fabulous. The menu reflected a great array of dishes. I sometimes struggle going to eat someplace with authentic dishes as I often have to ask for them to accommodate numerous dietary restrictions. They were wonderful in listening and removing ingredients I couldn't have. I was left with a flavorful and fresh bowl that I enjoyed. My husband enjoyed kimchi. We also savored dumplings that we were told are made fresh and homemade. It was a great experience, and fresh, flavorful food.

The food was good. We didn't have to wait long to be seated even though they were busy. I noticed several people came in to pick up an order. I do have one drawback. I know what I left for a tip and that was changed. The charge on my bank didn't reflect the tip that I left. So I will never go back to this establishment due to that. If you visit here you may want to pay with cash.

I have been going to this restaurant for over 15 years. I assume it is run by a family, since I've seen the same people working there for many years. My children have been raised going here for Korean food. They prefer it over what I make at home. If you want to feel that you are having an authentic Korean food and experience, then this is a great place to visit. The beef stone bowl is the best stone bowl in town.

I might had a high expectation. This place is a cheap place with not-that-much reasonable prices. One thing that I will never forget is the kam-ja-tang (감자탕). The meats in the soup were so bad. They were too tough and smelly. I had only one bite and left all of them. I can't imagine any people use those kind of bad meats in their cooking. Just go with any daily-popular dishes in which the ingredients and meats are well circulated. As for me and my family, we won't come this place again.

I came for lunch and ordered gyoza and dolsot bibimbap. Both were absolutely delishes. Like other Korean restaurants in Ann Arbor, the food is 5/5. Unfortunately the staff made me feel really rushed and uncomfortable. I was asked to cash out soon after my food arrived, and the condiments were removed from the table as I was eating my meal. It was strange. I'd go again for takeout, but I won't dine in again.
