ARI Korean BBQ

This was my first time at high end Korean restaurant and omg all my K drama food dreams were fulfilled. This place is amazing. Our server was very nice and patient and explained everything to us. They cook the food for you in front of you. You get to choose one protein at a time with 2 sides. It's unlimited for 90 minutes. My favorite thing was the Wagyu beef and my favorite sides were the ramen and fried rice. Very nice seating and very cute black and white tile flooring. We really wanted to try their desserts from the cake shop in front of the restaurant but were extremely full. We ate the cake slices late night at my home. Those didn't disappoint either. Will be back for another family night!!!

Offered good quality cuts of meat. Wagyu all you can eat is American wagyu but for the price of $55/pp I didn't expect japanese wagyu. Comes with dipping sauces and sides. The side orders were mediocre. Really, just go for the meat. Overall great variety of food and good service. They grill the meat for you.Ambiance: modernParking: large free parking lot

I don't even know where to begin. I was first off so excited to try this place because of all the glowing reviews but ultimately ended up being super disappointed :( first round we ordered 2 sides & 2 meats. The first meat was so chewy I spit it out twice. The pork shoulder was super yummy but by the time we received our first *side* order it was cold. Our poor server was pulled thin taking care of multiple tables at once so we could barely get in any orders. By the time we hit the 90 min limit we still hadn't received our second side. We ended up just putting in a large order which led to food wasted. Our server Andrew was very sweet & accommodating at the end of the meal but this was absolutely not worth the money or time. The manager was extremely unaccommodating! We were brought to the point where we had to grab the manager because we were 90 minutes into a meal & only received 2 meat portions & 1 side (you can only order 2 of each at a time). Their only response was "just ignore the time limit" but obviously we don't want to stay in a restaurant for hours on end. Absolutely terrible customer service from upper management. Generally strange vibe. It was unbearably cold. Beautiful decor but I will not be returning. I don't even think I want to go to KBBQ ever again after this... look at my other positive reviews so your affirmed that I am not enhancing anything I love to support restaurants but this was absolutely terrible.

Wow. I'm impressed! 10/10 BUT you must do the WAGYU AYCE. Parking: shared parking in a plaza by the movie theatersService: our waiter was amazing! Ambiance: 10/10! This is probably one of the boujiest kbbq place I've ever been to. I LOVE how open it is. I especially love that it doesn't smell and you don't leave smelling like kbbq. IYKYK. Their grill has vents inside that sucks the smoke rather than right above and it makes for all the difference. They use gold silverware and cute plates. They could upgrade their cups to match the vibe but whatever lol. Food: we of course, did AYCE wagyu and only ate wagyu plus sides. My favorite was bulgogi and short rib. Our favorite sides: cheese corn and kimchi fried rice. Least favorite: chicken katsu. It was extremely dry and flavor overall was not any good.

Ari Kbbq has easily become my favorite restaurant in the area. As the only halal kbbq that I know of in the area, we love to come here for special occasions (or even a random day in the middle of the week)Our servers have always been very kind and helpful. Unlike other kbbq spots I've been to in the past, the servers do the cooking for you. There are two menus that you can choose from, but the wagyu menu is the one that has the halal options. Banchan are brought out and you get two choices of meat and two sides. There are sooo many to choose from, but we typically stick to the Wagyu beef. The soy and sesame brisket and spicy bulgogi are our favorites. All the sides that we have had have been so good! We usually stick to the japchae, corn cheese, and teokbokki! Their salad is sooo good and I love their cucumber kimchi. It's always a good experience at AriFood recs: soy and sesame brisket, spicy bulgogi, japchae

The tea was good. Our waitress Vanessa was nice. It really ends there. The bulgogi beef over cooked. The brisket was so tough that my dinner companion couldn't chew it. The shrimp tasted like burnt garlic. The garlic burns to get the shrimp to be done. The chicken tasted charred. The only think I liked was the rice.

We went to Ari on a whim. We were hungry and didn't know what to eat but saw this nearby and decided to try it. The food, the service and the atmosphere were phenomenal. I can't believe it took us so long to go there. We tried different types of meat and all of them were delicious to the core. Even the server was friendly and professional. We spent $150 for lunch; way too pricey for our regular meals but it's worth splurging on quality food once in a while.

Highly recommend ARI! We love doing the AYCE wagyu - it's honestly a great value. But pace yourself, and don't stuff yourself on carbs so you can eat more of the meats. Ask your server for their favorites and get some of those. But try the fried tteokbokki and the corn cheese is always a favorite. Service is great, try as much as you can, but don't waste! Oh - and always, always get the egg soufflé! As a note, it's limited to one.

Came here for lunch on Christmas Day by myself. The food was delicious! I got the wagyu all you can eat. Ordered the spicy bulgogi, La galbi, jumuluk, egg fried rice, Korean spicy chicken wing, and veggie pancake. Everything was delicious! The server was lovely and cooked all the meat perfectly. There are so many things to try, I will def be back with a group. The restaurant is really nice, and the booths give a bit of privacy. I also had a yuzu soda which was nice and refreshing. This is def the best AYCE Korean bbq I've had in Atlanta. Highly recommend!

Went with a friend here that is big in halal food and kbbq so we came to this place.Service is good, the server is very tentative vs other kbbq spots but that could be because we were one of 3-4 tables there at the time (noon). Not sure if the server isn't that fluent in English but she kept pushing a lot of sides and non wagyu meat our way even when we didn't specifically order more of them. I'm here to eat wagyu not rice or non wagyu meat. Also, I would not recommend any of the bulgogi or the ribeye, it says wagyu for the bulgogi but honestly you couldn't even tell this apart from any other bulgogi and the ribeye is barely choice grade and tiny.This pretty much narrows it down to only two wagyu options here, the brisket and the short rib. (All the others is just a soy or sesame version) Both were great but not sure if it's worth the $75 pp after tax + tip. Pros: good wagyu brisket and lumuluk, your clothes won't smell like kbbq after you are done.Cons: half side of your food will be cold if you don't eat it right away. Shrimp doesn't cook all the way unless you burn the garlic. TLDR: good wagyu brisket and wagyu Jumuluk. Skip everything else. Anyone reviewing positive on the wagyu bulgogi you should just go ahead and skip that review. Probably won't come back again.
