The sushi was very good, and I loved the seared tuna. The seaweed salad and the pickled ginger appeared to have a lot of artificial colour which made them unappealing to me. I would prefer they switch back to what was used in the past.

I ordered the Tropicana roll, one of my favorites. It was fresh and delicious 😋 as always. Arirang serves authentic Korean and Japanese food and they do it well. Love this restaurant.

This evening was my first time visiting a Korean (and Japanese) restaurant. My son suggested the Arirang Restaurant because it was close to his apartment.
Before heading out, we selected five items from the extensive menu, and chose to eat-in.
When I handed the list of items we wanted, the hostess graciously suggested that the amount of food might be too much for two diners. My response was that the intent was to get to taste as broad a range of dishes possible, rather than a limited number based on just two of us. Turns out that had there been four of us dining, there was plenty of food to go around.
We were the only Caucasians present. I think there were five other tables occupied, and the customers were relaxed regulars who obviously had a preference for this venue.
I think the wait time for the food was about 15 – 20 minutes.
As the dishes started arriving, we were issued chopsticks and spoons. Neither of us were experienced in the use of chopsticks, so forks were the first request. Maybe even knives, next time.
The dishes were produced without any ostentatious flourish. All were hot and the dishes well heated and I found that out the hard way.
I was impressed with the hostess. She was the only employee in the serving area, in addition to an unknown number employed in the kitchen. So she did the serving, the cleanups, answered the phone, and dealt with the take-our orders. She wore an engaging smile, and was gracious at all times. No lurking nearby as we ate, but she had a very good situational awareness of all that was taking place. There was also a “call” button on the table, which brought her immediately to us to answer a question. With her poise and skills, there are a lot of servers and hostesses I have encountered at other dining spots who could have learned from watching her for even a short time.
The food surpassed any expectations. It was all excellent. I felt that the kimchee fried rice might not have delivered a full kimchee experience. And then I spotted a couple of small pieces of cabbage on one of the condiments plates and popped one the into my mouth. My sinuses suddenly felt as if they were on fire. My face grew hot, and I realized that this had to be the genuine item. Next time, my approach will be a bit more circumspect, but I will again partake.
My son and I will be back, and will make sure that there are one or two others dining with us. This was an experience we both want to share with others.

Ordered a variety of items. The quality has slipped a bit in the last 6-12 months. It’s still good but not excellent like it used to be.

Ordered take out through website. Food was ready by the time we got there. Ordered pork belly, galbi, kimchi pajeon.
Kimchi pajeon was slightly burnt. Everything else was good. Still our favourite place to get Korean
