Ari Korean BBQ

Very good quality meat and I'm glad that the servers will cook for you! There was plenty of banchan, and my favorite was definitely the cucumber. We got the combo menu for 3 people as well as a kimchi fried rice. The meats were all cooked perfectly and again were of great quality. The kimchi fried rice was all right, but I love the parts that become crispy at the bottom.

I sadly did not think Ari was that good, and it was overall a pretty underwhelming meal. For almost $40 per person that's not AYCE, I also thought the amount of meat you get and the quality of ingredients was not worth it. It's nice that they help you cook the meat, but I felt like everything was just okay. Side dishes didn't have any standouts, the kimchi stew was incredibly salty, and the corn wasn't sweet at all. The meat portions were also very small for two people, and I could tell the quality wasn't the best.

1st time having full service at KBBQ!Really nice to know everything was cooked perfectly & all the sides were great. They definitely know what they're doing here & doing it efficiently.

Ari is my favorite Korean BBQ in the DFW area! We ordered the Beef and Pork Combination for 3 people which came with 2 beef dishes, 2 pork dishes, sides, rice, cheese corn, and steam egg. What makes Ari stand out is because the servers actually cook the meat unlike traditional Korean BBQs. They go around each table and flip/cut the meat and the customers will eat it. They offer a variety of meats and side dishes, and the service size is very generous. Their air vents on top of each table actually work so the place isn't "smokey" so it is a good place to eat with family.

Ari Korean BBQ is my favorite korean bbq joint to go to for a la carte when I am not feeling all you can eat (AYCE). THis was my first time at the Plano location located next to Mitsuwa market! We always typically go to the Carrolton location. There were 5 of us and we spontanesoul decied to go to Ari and we were closer to the Plano location. We were about 18 minutes away and I called to make sure there was no wait, we went on a Thursday night. We got lucky! No wait. We love Ari and the meat quality for the price. WHAT WE ORDERED:-LARGE Beef Combo (4 people): Thin sliced prime brisket, boneless prime short rib, marinated rib finger meat and bulgogi. **We actually substituted the bulgogi for extra prime brisket** -Pork Jowl-Seasoned Raw Beef - We ate it raw of course, so much flavor! The asian pear and the mixed egg with it pairs really well The large beef combo comes with TWO soups and since we ordered the pork jowl we were able to get another one. You can decide between kimchi stew or soybean paste soup. All of the banchan (sides) were great and were filled when they were empty. Harum (I'm not sure how to spell) was our server cooking the meats for us and serving us was FANTASTIC! He was so attentive to us the whole time we were there even while having other tables. He made our experience at the Plano location very memorable. It came out to $66 a person for 5 people including all the alcohol (I think 4 bottles of soju, 5 bottles of terra) Highly recommend checking out Ari if you haven't!

This is my favorite kbbq place for high quality meats in a casual setting! The prices are a little higher and it is a la carte, not AYCE, but I really think the meat quality and marinade here is great!We always order the prime rib finger meat. You can order a set of beef or pork for 2, 3, or 4 people, which gives you several different cuts to try. However, after getting this combo before, I find the marinated prime finger meat to be the best out of those cuts, as it is super tender and has a wonderful marinade! The entree for the prime finger rib meat is $31 and is a pretty good size!If you order 2 or more meats, you also get a side of stew, your choice of kimchi or bean stew. I like the bean stew more as it has more flavor in my opinion, the kimchi one is a bit too sour for my taste. They also give you corn cheese and egg on the side of the grill with salad and rice!We also tried the thinly cooked spicy pork belly this time, and the marinade is a little more watery making it less greasy. It also is a ton of meat for $27!Service is great, they cook the meat for you and check on you often. Additionally, they have great smoke vacuums above the grill so it does not smell at all and it is nice and cool inside.Love coming here for a bit of a nicer kbbq!

Highly recommend the beef combination. We did for 3 and it was plenty of food.All the sides are fantastic as well.

FOOD- Beef Combination- Beef TongueWe ordered the medium for 3 people (for a group of 4 since we don't eat that much). The Beef Combination comes with thin sliced prime brisket, boneless prime short ribs, marinated rib finger meat, bulgogi, side dishes, steamed egg, corn cheese and kimchi stew. All the meats are very good and tender. My parents absolutely loved the corn cheese. Side dishes were yum too. The only thing I would say was that the kimchi stew was a bit on the saltier side. Other than that, everything tasted great.VIBES I went to celebrate post MCAT and I would say it's good for other celebrations as well. Lots of families were there and it is a little bit on the louder side but definitely a fun experience. You can cook the meat, but if you are waiting for long, sometimes the waiters and waitresses will come by and help with the cooking. SERVICEService was amazing. We had Andrew as our main guy and he was great! Very sweet and welcoming. Quick and attentive to our needs and gave us great recommendations from the menu. The food is a little bit on the pricier side but worth the experience to go at least once.

Tremendous food and stellar service + staff. This is our favorite Korean BBQ spot to go to and it's such a treat for us to go.If you're a first timer, you'll probably want to try the combo meal (which is what we did). That said... always trust your server. If they recommend something to you, it's ALWAYS on point. Every time we've gone with their suggestion, we've been very happy we did. Today we had jalapeño infused boneless spare rib and marinated short rib... it was so delicious.The other cool thing about this spot is even though you have a dedicated server, random other servers will come by and finish cooking your food or cutting up your meat. It's really well run in that manner. Highly recommend!

Omg this is the best Korean bbq spot in DFW. You can expect unlimited side dishes just like other kbbq, but this restaurant (two locations) is better because it is NOT AYCE. So the meat quality is great, they cook it for you and all the sides are phenomenal. They have egg and cheesy corn cooking on the side (unlimited). The best part is they cook it for you lolWe got the small beef combo for $70, I thought it was a good deal for the quality of meat.Would highly recommend and return.
