    Delicious. We got the meal for 2. We got the Crunchy Spicy Tuna Roll and Orange Roll. I got 2 corn cheese because it's sooooo good. You can grab an icecream on the way out. The service was amazing. Love our server! Beautiful place. Loved having a private room. Would definitely come back.

    The best rolls at the best price! Plus all sushi comes with unlimited side dishes. We have been going recently and have loved it. If you haven't tried it recently, you should. Great value, service is good and food is fresh! Give it a try!! Summer special is 30% off all rolls!

    Arirang-K is about a 40-minute drive from us, but my partner insisted that we check it out due to positive reviews from his acquaintances. So we made the long trip to the restaurant on a Saturday. We were seated as soon as we arrived and were one of the few diners there for lunch. The place was spacious and clean, and it was cool to see a robot delivering food to each table. The menu had dozens of options, making it difficult for me to choose an entree. I was tempted to order sushi but ultimately went with the Boiled Braised Black Cod Stew. We received six complimentary side dishes, including a bowl of cold kimchi soup that was seriously amazing! It was salty but sweet and tasted heavenly. The robot delivered our food in less than 20 minutes. My dish was rich in flavor, but the cod had too many bones. I'm unsure if I'd order the Boiled Braised Black Cod Stew again, but I know I'll return to Arirang-K!

    The beef bulgogi special combo was amazing. It came with so much food! Four pieces of sushi, lots of tender, marinated beef, tempura sweet potato, shrimp, and a pork dumpling plus fried rice, fresh fruit, and all the side dishes -- spicy kimchi, pickled veggies, a fruit salad, and a squid salad. You get tons of food for a fair price. The service was fast and the food was super fresh. We did a to go order for the office so I didn't get to experience the dine-in atmosphere but I most definitely will be back to try the Korean BBQ amongst other things.

    Arirang is located off McGinnis Ferry and is one of the only KBBQ joints in this area. The interior is quite frankly amazing and you usually get your own private room. The servers are nice but they don't seem to have a button to call the staff. Purely food based review: 6 Piece Tuna Sushi + Ramen: Decent combo if you're craving a bit of both. The ramen is fancy instant ramen with some beef pieces. The tuna was fresh but a little too much rice to my liking. Beef KBBQ (2 Person): Enough to feed a family of 4 as our main entree. Every piece of meat ranged from decent to pretty good. You get the usual sides but note it's not unlimited. Bulgolgi Pancake - Big serving, a little burnt but was decent as a shared appetizer. Dragon Roll - One of the more stuffed rolls, it was decent but nothing too special to write home about. Korean Fish Soup - It was a backup option as they didn't have grilled eel. It was ok, simple broth and white fish. Oysters - Came in a big set of 5. Personally, this was my least favorite dish, it didn't taste as fresh and was super watery. Ultimately their menu is vast but some of the stuff we wanted wasn't offered nor recommended by the servers. We had to reorder three times. Price-wise is also on the higher side. Unless you're coming for lunch specials or want a private room dinner, I wouldn't come here regularly.

    Pick up Sushi/Sashimi deluxe and it looks really small for $69.99. What has been changed? It was $49.99 before but it must be better than before. You must change the online price! the sushi/sashimi wasn't fresh, it looks like it was over a couple of days,

    Korean side dishes "ban Chan"
    Jasmine L.

    This is my second time coming to this Korean restaurant. Food is always fresh and delicious. The side dishes are also high quality. I would definitely recommend trying the donkatsu. The portion size is huge and it comes with a gravy boat of sauce. I was quite impressed by its presentation and taste. The only downside for this restaurant would be slow service. My family came around 4:00 so we assumed slow service was due to most waiters being on break. Finally, they have free soft serve ice-cream! A great way to wrap up a heavy and filling meal.

    Korean lunch box special- generous main course option
    Esther K.

    I really enjoyed my visit to Arirang K in Johns Creek. I've been waiting for this place to open and glad I was able to make it out to lunch. Interior is nice and open. Loved the frames of little hanbok jackets (korean traditional outfit women wear displayed near the entrances of the private dining rooms. I love they have that option as well. Staff was incredibly helpful and kind. I was impressed that they gave generous banchan (korean side dishes) when during lunch and when ordering a lunch box combo. The banchan was tasty as well. The menu was filled with a variety of options including korean soups/stews to korean bbq to sushi. We ordered the lunch (bento box) combo and was pleased with the main protein portion size. You left full which was nice. You also got a soup and a salad with a lunch bento box combo. Nice. I'm looking forward to going back to try some of their other menu items especially the Korean BBQ. Hope this restaurant is well received in the area so they will be around. They are also located near Divine Coffee shop which makes for an after meal coffee stop.

    shrimp teriyaki bento  box
    Peggy X.

    My family and I went to Arirang for lunch and had a lovely time. The service is really quick, the interior is spacious, and the menu has several options for KBBQ meats and sushi rolls. We ordered off the lunch menu: I got an 8pc nigiri + udon combo, my mother ordered the salmon teriyaki bento box, and my dad got the shrimp teriyaki bento box. Prices range from about $14-16 -- not cheap for lunch in Johns Creek -- but the portion sizes are BIG. Each entree also comes with miso soup and ginger salad, so you'll leave full (and likely with leftovers)! I thought the nigiri was fresh, though I found it strange that they seasoned half of it with a sweet sauce that masks the flavor of the raw fish. The udon paired nicely as a warm dish!

    We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of food and perfect service. Ordered Family Beef Dinned for four. It was a lot of perfectly cooked meets; salad was perfect and a lot of tasty appetizers. Plus, service was great and polite. We will come back soon.

The UWT salad was just ok, the Buffalo Chicken Flatbread was almost uneditable, the Korean Shortribs were not any better. The flatbread was swimming in buffalo sauce and blue cheese. The Korean Short Ribs were literally pot roast with sesame seeds and green onions served a top a serving of dry potatoes. We enjoyed the ambience and the wine but would not go back due to the food. Admittedly we are foodies and this establishment did not meet our expectations. Really not trying to be a negative Nancy but this was not to our liking.

I was really looking forward to trying the oysters, but I didn't realize their menu changes often so unfortunately, no oysters this time. A little sad about that! We decided to order pretty much everything off the à la carte menu. Overall, the food was just okay to me. The Brussels sprouts were the hardest to eat they were basically raw, just thinly sliced with sauce poured over. It would've been much better if they were at least steamed or grilled a bit. The mushrooms, though, were absolutely BOMB! If I didn't know what it was, I would've thought it was some sort of meat dish super soft, flavorful, and delicious. Definitely the highlight of the meal. The Wagyu, on the other hand, was a big disappointment. For the price, it was tough and chewy when it should've been buttery and melt-in-your-mouth tender. Overall, the place is cute and the vibes are nice, but the food was overpriced for what it was. I'd only come back for those mushrooms they were that good.

I placed an order for everything on the carte menu. Food was fun and a few of the dishes caught me off guard, in a good way. Pros. We loveeed the maitake mushrooms. This dish was one dish my friend and I had low expectations for. Ironically it's the only dish we would go back for! The bucatini I also had low expectations for. I hardly order pasta, from non pasta specialty places, because the pasta is 99% of the time going to be overcooked. BUT this bucatini was cooked perfectly al dente. The sauce was rich but not too heavy and just enough to cover the noodles without drowning. The crab taste was pretty faint. If it weren't listed on the menu I wouldn't even think it were in the dish. Cons. The brussel sprout salad was honestly almost inedible. It is a raw shaved brussel sprout salad, dressed as a Caesar salad. Although not bad tasting, the core of the sprouts was not tender but dry and hard. There was also a lot of it. Most disappointing was the "waygu ribeye". The quality was pretty horrible. The piece we got had silver skin as well as chunks of fat. I wish I got a picture of the leftover fat from the steak but if you look at my picture you can clearly see slices of just fat. I love a little fat on a well cooked ribeye and do not mind paying for it. But paying $50 for a probably 8oz "waygu" ribeye with only half of it palatable is wild. Regardless, I'm actually going back in a couple of days with my husband because of those amazing mushrooms.. though as I am writing this review I'm debating on canceling my reservation, ordering the mushrooms to go, and just going elsewhere. lol

The manager (or, I'm assuming he was a manager, because he never said he was or was not) named Chef was the person I spoke to about being hired. He told me to come back for a shadowing session on Monday to see if I was a good fit. He told me to text him to confirm the date the weekend before, and when I texted him on Saturday, as we had talked about, I received no response. I texted him again several times on Sunday, and got nothing back until late that evening, less than 24 hours from the shift we had talked about, asking if we could do it Tuesday instead. I agreed and returned the following day. Right off the bat, it was weird; he never took down any information from me aside from my name and phone number, and showed me how to clock in and then told me to go right to the woman at the bar to look over the menu. He didn't tell me anything about pay, hours, a resume, experience, tasks, or even offer me a tour of the place, which I thought was odd. For reference, my boyfriend and I have both had a lot of experience managing and owning businesses, so we understand the process, and he backed me up on this when I brought it up to him. About 30 minutes into my shift, they ended up mentioning that their host never showed up, and I told them that I had experience and if they gave me a quick training talk, I'd learn it quickly. They put me up front, but didn't give me any instructions or check in with me the entire time, while I sat up there. About halfway through my shift, the woman at the bar called me back and asked me to go to Walmart and pick up some ingredients for them with some cash she offered me. I thought it was a bit strange, especially since they didn't have any information on me yet, but I agreed. I returned and continued my shift, and still nobody checked in with me the entire four hours. Well, eventually 10 o'clock rolled around (the time we'd agreed I would stop), and yet nobody showed any signs of coming up to tap me out. And then 10:30 came, and I ended up walking up to Chef, and a gentleman I assumed was another manager, and later realized may have actually been the owner, and he was at the bar smoking a hookah and drinking while still on shift. I asked him if they were trying to get me to stay till 11 or something, or if I misunderstood the time, but before I could tell him that I needed to leave soon because I'm also a full-time medical student, he ended up telling me that I could stay, like he thought I was asking. I thought I maybe could've phrased it better, so I ended up biting my tongue and went back up to the front for another 30+ minutes. While I was on shift, I noticed many more red flags that made me uncomfortable. For example, many of the on-clock staff were at the bar drinking and smoking the whole time with the owner. At some point during the jazz band, one of the employees ordered at least two mixed drinks and sat down with all the customers to watch, and apparently got wasted from what I heard. They also told us that we aren't allowed to say no if somebody orders us a shot because it's rude, even if it made us uncomfortable. (I looked it up with my boyfriend later, and we both confirmed that working while under the influence is against federal law.) They also said that servers would need to carry your own cash around because they didn't carry cash in the register, which means that the waiters have to break their own bills and bring in at least $50 worth of cash in order to start their shift, and risk losing out on money if we can't break a bill or something. My shift finally ended at 11:20, another 20 minutes after our agreed time, only because I basically told them that I was leaving instead of asking. And that whole time, no one once said anything to me about hosting, when they wanted me to return, pay, or anything. After I left around 11:30, I heard nothing back from Chef until two days later, after he completely ignored me until then, when he asked if I could come back in an hour after he messaged me. I told him I would not be returning because of how uncomfortable and inattentive it felt, and I asked about pay, since I had worked about a 5-hour shift for free thus far, and he never replied. I didn't push because, honestly, I just wanted to walk away from what had happened from how sketchy it was, even when I was encouraged not to. For bonus, the backroom was really gross. The whole area smelled like the dishpit hadn't been cleaned in days, and the towel room was basically just cloth thrown about. I've worked in a lot of restaurants, and this was by far the most unclean and untidy one I'd seen. I won't be going back, and honestly just want to leave this behind me, and warn anyone who may apply there in the future.

I would say this place is for drinks and small bites. You are high up but the view is the beautiful rooftop you are on. The landscape isn't a skyline or cascading trees. It's mostly a parking lot but the lighting, the roof and the breeze are nice. I wouldn't say this place was family friendly. It's for an adult crowd. I'll be back to share stories and try more drinks.

    This is one of the worst places I've eaten at in Downtown Duluth or anywhere "locally", it taste…read moresuper basic and brunch spots can make shrimp and grits 100x better, the steak taste like it hasn't been seasoned and the first bite I took was just watered down chimichurri sauce and a steak that taste like a seasonless steak with water injected inside it, seems like butter/salt is not in their dictionary. The service was already terrible when we were told to sit down wherever and then this guy comes out of nowhere and sits us down at a terrible spot, and keeps coming back to asks questions even when we ordered steak he came back to ask what temperature which is very odd because it's normally asked when you order THE steak. Ambiance is okay very simple and bland, could be more vibrant.

    First-time visit to Noona Steak and Seafood in Duluth -- and wow, the food was impressive…read more We had an early 5:15 p.m. reservation through Resy and received clear confirmation and reminder communications from the restaurant. Parking was a challenge due to Valentine's Day and the sheer number of people dining out. That said, parking is often tight in Duluth because of the many restaurants, so it's wise to allow extra time. My wife and I were promptly greeted and seated upon arrival, and our server quickly came over to take our drink orders. I have to mention our server, Maddie, who was one of the most pleasant and personable people we've encountered in a long time while dining out. She was a textbook example of what makes for a great dining experience. At that point, I learned the restaurant was offering a prix fixe Valentine's Day menu, which hadn't been communicated beforehand. While not unusual for the holiday, it did catch me by surprise. Maddie handled the situation professionally when I asked to speak with a manager, and Leon came over quickly. After I explained, they were able to accommodate us by offering the items à la carte, which worked out well since we chose to skip one course and dessert. As for the food -- it was outstanding. My wife had the beet salad and said it was the best she's ever had. I ordered the wedge salad, which was very good. She chose the shrimp appetizer, while I had the stuffed mushrooms; both were excellent. We each ordered the 6-oz filet, cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The mashed potatoes and green beans complemented the steak nicely, and I especially enjoyed the house-made steak sauce, which paired very well with the filet. I also had the opportunity to speak with executive chef and owner George Yu, who was engaging and shared that they cook exclusively over open flames using well seasoned cherry and oak wood from a single supplier. I was even able to thank the chef who prepared our steaks in the wood-fired kitchen. Overall, it was a fantastic Valentine's Day dinner at Noona Steak and Seafood in Duluth, GA.

    This was our second time here, first time 6 yrs ago according to my last yelp review. Unfortunately…read moremy review stays the same. Service was good, probably because my husband told them I was an elite yelper but also was early on a Saturday night and had only a few tables. They made my custom drink order well. Listened to instructions. Started with a dozen oysters, recommended by the waitress, they were ok. They small and not really flavorful. They had the typical cocktail sauce and horseradish but needed hot sauce. Served also with goldfish crackers, I get the pun but a little tacky for a fine dining establishment. We also had the shrimp with the gochijong sauce. The shrimp were nice size but again lack luster. Where's the seasoning? The gochijong sauce was sparse and was watery. Also the shrimp needed salt. We ordered the surf and turf which was good size. The steak was a little under, ordered it med rare. It was also very thin. The steak was seasoned with corse sea salt at the end. Well that produced some very salty pieces and some under seasoned pieces. Salting before cooking would have helped that and garnish with the course salt. The lobster was small but tasty. Slightly under cooked. The Kim chee fried rice was good but not enough although there were some over ripe Kim chee pieces. The star of the meal was the cheese corn. Delish! Sweet, savory and creamy. Cooked perfectly with enough crunch of the corn to offset the creaminess. It was an anniversary and was offered 3 cake choices and ordered the cheesecake. Non of the cakes are made in house, we asked. The cheesecake was creamy but had a huge crust so the ratio of the cheese mixture to the crust was off balance. BTW a very small slice. All in all I would say we won't be back. Too many other good restaurants nearby.

    Very chill lounge with an intimate feel. I went on a Friday night and there were few patrons. The…read morebar tender made the drinks and hookah, and both were pretty good. They have a few TVs for viewing and had a live belly dancer briefly perform. They didn't have a DJ. It seems like they were playing music from a music playlist, which was a mix of RnB and Hip Hop. Their menu has food, drink, and hookah options. They had nothing on the menu except for Suya; so, we didn't have food. The drinks were pretty good and reasonably priced, given that they were served in plastic cups. The hookah was pretty good and lasted awhile. Of note, the bartender couldn't take cash because she didn't have enough change in the register to return; the only option was card payment.

    This place really redeemed themselves. I had visited a handful of times early this year and back in…read more2018 with a group of friends. The sign would advise they open at 5, but doors wouldn't open until nearly an hour later. They would frequently do grocery runs to Walmart then charge you the same amount for items such as wings that were clearly different and finally arrived right before they close the lounge. So you literally had to box them, then pay your bill to close..... With that said, The recent visit I made last week was MUCH better. Decor of this locale is real loungy and sleek. Nice ambiance for a Gwinnett experience...The staff is very pleasant, and the Siracha wings are amazing!!! Presentation was so simple but nice... My friend got another chicken dish, that kinda looked like a Cordon Bleu, and that was quite tasty as well. Drinks are fair, (tiny portions with ice), and the music is good. Mix of African/Reggae/HipHop. In all, I recommend this place if the consistency stays like this....but I had to be honest about my previous experiences.
