Wagyu Ace
Marietta M.

Amazing KBBQ! We've been to a few different KBBQ locations and none come close to ARI. The Wagyu is definitely worth it if you enjoy the sides, I highly recommend the chicken katsu, and tater-tots, but realistically the Ari AYCE option is great. The server offered to cook our food for us, which was very helpful when we were talking, but also allowed us to serve ourselves as we pleased. The room was open, but still felt like we had our own space to spend quality time together. Highly recommend, stick to the Ari AYCE unless you are looking for something specific. The red wine salt is incredible!

Gochujang Pork Belly
Tanni D.

I had passed by ARI Korean BBQ a few times and finally decided to give it a try this past Saturday. From the moment my partner and I walked in, the service stood out. Staff were quick to seat us, and our waiter was consistently attentive. The space itself is elegantly decorated and had an upscale atmosphere. They were offering a summer lunch deal: Wagyu All-You-Can-Eat for $46.99, which is a $22 discount off the regular price. The meal came with a generous assortment of banchan, including salad, radish slices, kimchi, marinated cucumbers, sweet potatoes, and pickled onions. From the set menu, we ordered a variety of items: wagyu brisket, pork jowl, gochujang pork belly, ribeye, garlic butter shrimp, fried tteokbokki, kimchi stew, kimchi aioli tater tots, Korean spicy chicken wings, and a cheesy egg soufflé. My partner enjoyed the brisket, but he said the ribeye was disappointing. It was dry and overcooked, with much of it burnt. The pork jowl was flavorful and well-prepared, but the gochujang pork belly had an overpoweringly "porky" taste, as if it hadn't been cleaned properly. Our favorite dishes were the garlic butter shrimp, the Korean spicy chicken wings, and the kimchi stew, all which were rich, flavorful, and satisfying.

Wagyu waiting for?! Let's meat up! :P Don't miss out on @arikoreanbbq WAGYU AYCE KBBQ 40% OFF Tuesdays 4-7PM ending March 26. $32.99 for AYCE Wagyu is def a steal!! Nice ambiance w/ friendly staff, Ashley took great care of us! Good exhaust system so you wont smell like KBBQ after. Leave some room for dessert @The Bake Shop.

I tried the wagyu menu and felt the proteins were good but I wouldn't pay for it again. My favorites were the ribeye, jumuluk, and galbi. I'd recommend the wagyu soy and sesame brisket for a quick cook. I enjoyed that they offer different sauces and they offer a huge and different selection of sides than other places. They didn't have the cheesy soufflé or soup of the day. The ventilation here is the best I've ever experienced. The tater tots were crispy but very oily, the Korean spicy chicken wings were good but only two pieces at a time, dumplings were fine but they gave you soooo much, and the buldak fire noodles were amazing. Service was ok but extremely slow. Considering there's a 90 min dining limit, service needs to be consistent. I was often left sitting waiting for my proteins to come with nothing on the grill. I also didn't receive my full order. The restaurant is beautiful. I love the look and feel of the place. It's super spacious with plenty of seating.

Quality of food and service got better. It's now one of my goto spots for kbbq and love that our clothes doesn't smell after eating.

Came on a weekday after work, so it was less crowded compared to a weekend. The meat was great, and the side dishes and sauces were fresh and tasty. A bit on the pricier side, and service did slow down toward the end, but it was a great experience.

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!!!

*Free Parking *Reservation highly recommended *Wagyu AYCE $54.99, Ari Halal AYCE $39.99 Children under 3 eat for Free *90 Minutes Limit *Don't expect good quality Wagyu here *The whole experience is a 3.5/5. It is Good for Halal, their seasoning and side dishes was yummy. I couldn't tell the difference between regular KKBQ vs Wagyu KKBQ. Our Wagyu didn't have much marble but the Galbi meat tasted good. I'm looking to find the best Wagyu AYCE spot and sadly this place is not it. Expect to spend almost $100 per person here. We came on a busy Saturday night and the service was slow, I didn't mind grilling some of the meat since the staff was busy. I hope they hired more people soon. I do like their sides, my favorite was the japchae and the bao buns. The Kimchi was also pretty good and flavorful. They offer 19 different sides and 24 different type of Protein for the AYCE Wagyu. Chicken and shrimp is available. I did not like the 90 minutes limit vs 2 hours compare to other KKBQ. Ari is VERY strict on the timing so make sure you eat fast. Because the service was slow that also cut down on the timing for Us to fully enjoy the $75 (22% gratuity) experience. You can only order 2 proteins and 2 sides once you done with your food. The Wagyu meat did not taste better than my fav Korean BBQ Spot. If you want to come here I would try the Halal Ari regular pricing. My Muslim friends said there not much of a difference, only the Bulgogi was better. My BF and I agreed we won't come back. Only bc there is better KKBQ in Georgia for more affordable pricing and longer time to eat.

THICK pork belly
Miyuki Y.

Quality/service has improved TREMENDOUSLY since the last time I have been here! I used to think the price was a bit high for what it was, but I think it's totally worth it! The menu selection for meats and appetizers is stellar! and the brisket alone was enough for me to want to come back for more! #NEVERFROZEN! Loved all of the appetizers we got as well, especially the kimchi fried rice and egg soufflé!

Do you still have the ayce wagyu?

Not the last time I was there.

Do you have to cook your food or does someone do it for you?

Our servers do the cooking and you do the eating!

Is there a limit on how many wagyu nigiri you can order if you get the unlimited ayce wagyu option?

I haven't had the AYCE nigiri (didn't realize there was one) but there's no limit to the teppanyaki AYCE wagyu.

"Mom's Kitchen Table", a literal translation to their business name, lives up to the name itself, no lie. The mom definitely uses fresh ingredients and put that extra care/preps to deliver the full spectrum of Korean home meals to the line - taste the banchans here and you will understand. A bit over-seasoned at times. but considering these are complimentary to rice, the main dish of a Korean meal, it is meticulously arranged to give the neutral umami you seek. One worry I have when I discover gems like this - the owner/mom must stay healthy and never retire, so everyone who are curious can experience it, at least once in their cycle. People who frequent other Korean restos may feel this restaurant is a bit pricey (a few bucks or so), but I will gladly pay for that few delta so I can have the best Korean home meal available in the area, period. Hey I will pay that extra few bucks to I can enjoy the mom's heartfelt greeting a bit longer. Good job, K-Mom!

And wow, from K-Mom's service herself (and I think maybe her husband?) to the food taste AND presentation, this place is now on the repeat visit circuit. First let me rave about the banchan selection - not only is there 10 different banchan, they are quality banchan (see pics) ... my favorites were the anchovies w/ peanuts, spicy raw squid, radish kimchi, and shiitake mushrooms. The menu selection is your usual traditional Korean dishes and the prices may seem high but competitive w/ other Korean restos - and very worth it when you think about all the tasty banchan accompanying your meal. JE YOOK BOKUM - $17.99 Spicy stir-fried pork. Pretty good. Also came w/ a big bowl of seaweed soup (nice surprise and delicious) AND purple rice ... I love purple rice! YOOK GAE JANG - $15.99 My friend said it was very good! I only tasted the soup part and it was good! Overall, highly recommend - their food is a great example of 손맛 (sonmat). I'll be back for sure!

We had naengmyeon (cold noodles) and mandu (dumplings) for lunch at Naju Myunok yesterday. It was…read moregood. This is a popular, casual, quasi-cafeteria-style Korean restaurant in Duluth. This restaurant soft-opened in March 2024 and officially opened in April 2024 in the old Breakers Korean barbecue space near the defunct Gwinnett Place Mall, and I-85 at Pleasant Hill Rd (exit 104). It's spacious, but can fill up quick. We arrived at noon on a Saturday and there were still plenty of open tables. However, by the time we left, shortly after 1pm, it was packed with people looking for tables. Someone jumped on our table as we were getting up to leave. This is not a sit-down restaurant. Instead, you order at one of two touchscreen kiosks at the entrance and then wait for your number to be called to pick up your food. Everything is self-serve, from condiments to hot broth. You also bus your own table. Here's what three of us got: B3. Heo [sic] Naengmyeon ($16.99) - spicy sweet potato starch noodles with raw fish (should be spelled "hoe") C3-B1. Naengmyeon and Yuk Jeon ($20.99) - cold sweet potato starch noodles and thinly sliced beef pancake C1-B1. Naengmyeon and Dwaeji Yang Nyum Gui ($18.99) - cold sweet potato starch noodles and grilled pork neck D4. Kimchi Son Mandu ($11.99) - handmade kimchi dumplings My wife and I love naengmyeon. We thought Naju's version was good, especially in this fast-casual format. To nitpick, the noodles stuck together and the ice melted too fast. Regardless, I found the noodles to be delicious, refreshing, and satisfying. The spicy version came with a small bowl of icy broth on the side. The raw fish, beef pancake, and grilled pork neck were all tasty and of decent quality. As for the handmade kimchi dumplings, they were legit. Big and filling. In addition to naengmyeon, Naju also offers a variety of Korean soups (e.g., seolleongtang - ox bone soup and gomtang - beef bone soup) and LA galbi (grilled short ribs). During our visit, the pickup counter was staffed by a bunch of ajummas (Korean middle-aged women), basically Korean lunch ladies. I'd come back. This place seems ideal for a quick stop for an easy and reliable Korean meal / comfort food.

Maybe I just don't get this niche area of Korean cuisine but I found the cold soup kind of bland…read moreand most of the normal dishes I expect on a Korean menu, kimchi, the sides, japchae, etc. didn't seem to be there. The dumplings I ordered were kinda meh too. I feel like I could boil some Bibigo or Pulmuone dumplings from H-Mart and they would have been better. But again, this is a pretty big Korean area outside Atlanta and its possible I just don't know what I'm talking about on this one. In any case, it isn't really for me, and the dumplings were not great.

I ordered the spicy ramen with the fried egg over chicken, it was delicious. When you crack the yoke over the spicy noodles as it runs down onto the chicken that combination is insane. The dainty bits of cool purple radish adds a crunch that delights my tastebuds. I was given so much food it is NOT a one person meal. ( I shared with my husband who loved every morsel). The dine in restaurant will always be full so if you plan on eating in there will be a wait. It's a cozy interior with limited seating. Delivery drivers are utilized daily as this food stands on its own bragging rights. Once you eat here you'll understand why. I love all the TVs playing videos of customers enjoying the food and their reactions to the flavor. Stop by and see for yourself. The photos and videos don't lie they are the real deal. There are even vegan options too and assorted drinks to pair with your meal. Don't miss an opportunity to try this hidden gem.

I happen to be shopping in Alpharetta and I had seen a TikTok review about his place so I decided to try it out. This establishment specializes in chicken. Everything is Korean chicken. I had the chicken sandwich with fries. This thing was huge. There is no way anyone is going to be able to bite down into the entire sandwich at once. I had to break it up into 2 pieces. It has this special sauce and grated pickles. It was so good. The bun was soft and the chicken was crispy. This was the kind of sandwich that would knock Popeyes chicken sandwich out of this atmosphere !!! The place was clean. It was quite a few people enjoying their lunch when I arrived. I was able to get a parking space directly in front of the restaurant and parking is free. You can't miss it and you don't want to miss it.
