Arirang Korean Restaurant

Best Korean food I've had in San Antonio! Very great service and excellent food! Plus they are open until 2am!!! Can't beat it.

A Korean spot. In San Antonio. That closes at 2AM. The KITCHEN closes @ 2AM?!Dude. This place deserves more love. To be able to get yummy Korean @ 1AM is impressive. The service is great straight forward what you want to eat. It's a cute little hole in the wall on the road. You get bonchan and rice and whatever entree you choose. I just moved from DC where Korean food is abundant. This was very good.

Came in on a rando Thursday evening (semi-early in the evening as we were famished). Saw this in an Express News article "Visit these 10 Asian-owned eateries for AAPI Heritage Month" so thought we'd give it a go. Blink and you'll drive right by. Located on Austin Hwy almost catty corner from the Dollar General Store. If you get to the VFW you've gone too far. Very nice and friendly server (adult and not a kid). Pointed out and gave several recommendations from beer to food. We started with the Goon Man Doo (fried dumplings). They were a hearty serving and fiery hot (temperature not spice) and came with a tasty dipping sauce; perfect combo of chewy inside and sharp, crunchy outside. Hubs had the Terra Beer (a big beer). He ordered the Bul-Go-Gi (a heaping serving of beef) which he really enjoyed. Tasty meat and a great sauce; a little on the sweet spice with a medium heat (he asked for). I thought it was a mild heat myself. I ordered the Korean BBQ ribs and man, a TON of meat. Even while sharing the meals I still asked for a to-go box. MealCame with steamed white rice and bowls and bowls of sides (all cold) ranging from kimchi to pickled cucumbers and more. The sauce on the cold brocccoli was so tasty! Some I couldn't really identify, and all of them varied in the spice/heat levels. As we were finishing a party of four came in and then a single diner came in so it was picking up for the night. (We overhead the larger party say to him, "we're happy to be back again". Definitely 5 for the food. The place itself is dated and a little sad looking inside. The ladies bathroom left something to be desired but hey, you're there for the food right? 3 for the interior.A homeless, looked like Jesus man wandered in and was immediately asked to go. Several security cameras on the perimeter and are on full display on a large screen so they can see who's coming and going. Safety is a +. So many more choices to try. Will return and bring a friend as well.

Authentic Korean food at a reason price. They served food extremely fast. Definitely recommend this restaurant. It's hidden on Austin street. Owners are extremely nice people.

Hidden in an unassuming building, is some of the most authentic & delicious Korean food you can get in San Antonio! It's so incredibly delicious it will be knock your socks off!! On top of that, their high quality doesn't just stop at their food, it also is extremely welcoming & makes you feel at home! This place should definitely be on your list of places to try if you haven't already!!

The food was really really tasty and this place is great for a late night meal! My friends and I went after the 4th of July and were pleasantly surprised to find this small restaurant on the side of the road. Safe to say we will be coming back!

Potato and beef soup wasn't spicy or good . Covid fried rice was too sweet and it had corn in it .I've lived in South Korea to know what's authentic Korean foods . This isn't it !!!! The side dishes are good but that's can't be it !!

Had an amazing dinner here. It was about 1 AM and I was in the mood for a gem and found this place.

Sweet hole in the wall restaurant. Honestly you're not going to get better than this here in SA. The quality of food is so good, they give you so much. Pls check it out and support your local!!

Food is top notch. Although the price and the serving is not it. BE AWARE!!! Make sure you ask for receipt because they will Add extra charges on your total and they dont give you the breakdown of your order. The guy will harass you and get mad when we tried to split our check and when it comes to tipping.
