Such a bad service. One of the worst experiences I've had in the Duluth K-Bbq scene. The private room is Arirang-K's strongest point, but once they put you in a room, they will never come check you in. The "self-service" feature should come with some advantage like discounts or something. Otherwise come in and provide service to us. Help us change the grill and cook the meat. We did not come to do camping. We were basically abandoned and had to go outside and find a server to ask for something, like our bill. I will never come back. read more

Very disappointed with their service! We had sushi & sashimi deluxe combo and k bbq and from start to finish we had to do the grill, server would not come check on us at all. We didn't know how to control the grill temperature and meat was burning. We had to keep calling server to get us this and that and even the check we asked for but wouldn't bring it so I went out there to get the bill and paid. It's pretty upscale interior restaurant but the system is not. Food was so so. read more

The food is decent. The service is terrible. I placed an order to go and waited 45 minutes for the food to come out. The hostess at the front is absolutely terrible. She was rude from the second I walked in. She did not tie the soup correctly and as I was walking out it slipped out of my hand and the soup container broke. When I walked back to get another soup, she was even more rude. Stone face cold and told me it would take another 5-10 minutes. She never apologized, never offered anything for the amount of time it took and for the inconvenience. Korean restaurants are all about service and I was very disappointed. As the first face you see when you enter a restaurant, she does not do anything to make you want to ever come back. read more

The food is great and the service is usually very fast and efficient. The sushi chefs make great sashimi and sushi.

The place should not open yet. Server do not know what to do and witnessed chef cook on kitchen floor, not on table.

If given the feature to give zero stars, I would. A friend who recently worked here felt emotionally abused and never received their pay in time. I went there once to check it out and parts of the restaurant smell like cigarettes and I saw management yell at their employees frequently. Service was not up to standards and the entire restaurant apart from that was mediocre. Not ready to open. read more

Disappointed. We went early Friday afternoon before 7pm. The main hostess was frazzled with people requesting Korean BBQ. We were told it would be a 20 minute wait for our family of 4. The only other people waiting before us was a couple (2 people). We decided to wait. The experience was not worth the wait. We were finally seated in a room and waited at least 10-15 more minutes for someone to get our drinks. I actually had to ask what was taking so long. Finally the bartender was sent to our room to take our drinks for non alcoholic drinks. They were short staffed and sent a bartender?! We then selected the foods that we wanted. That took at least another 20 minutes to bring raw food from the kitchen to place on the grill. I do not understand why there was so much time waiting for everything. We were hungry so we stayed. The food was finally placed on the grill. The beef was just okay. The chicken was terrible (all fat and bones) and I was shocked the whole shrimp/prawn had the the head on. That's not how the it was pictured on the menu. We waited again for the bill. I finally had to get up to find someone... anyone to help so we could pay and leave. I am generously giving 2 stars given because the restaurant is pretty and since it's a new business this review might help them do a better job in the future. I most likely will never know if it gets better because I doubt I will go back. read more

Very disappointing. The interior is nice and the roll was decent. BBQ is the main part of this restaurant but it was the worst. Meat quality was mediocre and the grill doesn't bring out the taste (not charcoal BTW). Service was very slow and our server overcooked (burned it..) half of our meats. I really wanted to like the place...but I don't see us returning. read more

I heard some good news about this place and so I decided to check it out. The building itself absolutely stunning, and the whole atmosphere was welcoming. Although their menus were rather intimidating, the servers were very nice and recommended for the sushi: the Johns Creek Roll, and for the KBBQ: marinated short rib. Those dishes were very nice, especially the marinated short rib. My wife liked their brisket as the texture was very soft. Overall, the restaurant gets 5 stars from me, and once the COVID crisis is over, I would definitely bring a huge group of friends and family to enjoy their amazing food. read more

Came here on a Saturday night whim and was pleasantly surprised. The 5 of us had the Family Plan Combo B, which is an assortment of beef and pork cuts plus the sides. The quality of the meat and the flavor of the sides was excellent. This is a full service event, where someone is cooking and cutting all of your Korean BBQ, in addition to refilling your sides and tending to your water and drinks. The place was pristine, with lots of private rooms for fun group outings. We will definitely be back, and happy this is a new addition to the Johns Creek/Suwanee area. read more

Went for lunch. The wait staff was very attentive. The foot was hot and tasty. Had a sushi roll and a bulgogi box.

My friend enjoys this place so I decided to get her and family a gift card over the holidays. When I went in I was told I couldn't pick the amount I wanted and then they insisted on changing sales tax. So I ended up spending a larger amount then I expected but still it was for friends I love and the place meant something to them. Last night we decided to use the gift card and the service was horrible. Don't ever pick the "self serve option for the Korean barbecue". But even leaving that choice aside the service was the worst. Wrong appetizers which they served and took back( hopefully they did give them to someone else). They asked us if we wanted certain items and never brought them. My friend actually had to get up a get them to bring the food and drinks as well as the bill. The bill was incorrect. The full price was listed for the barbecue, the suggested tip totals were incorrect, and of course the total included taxes. Again we waited and they never came and the end of meal probiotic drink they serve never came. Nonetheless I went to the counter and tried to pay at which point I was ignored by multiple staff members. I recommend that you don't visit and if you do avoid gift cards which are not taxable and the "self serve" option!! read more

fyi i'm not korean service was alright and the food was great, but if it is your first time at korean bbq, i suggest you stay in the front of the restaurant. the person who cooked the barbecue for us was very quiet and it ruined the mood of our meal. the sushi and appetizers were great though. read more

This is probably my first time in the barbecue section of this restaurant, and I must say that the bbq section of this restaurant deserves the 5stars. Compared to other Korean bbq in Duluth, the restaurant is surprisingly massive and the rooms were very divided by tables with walls which allows to converse with all of your friends which is very nice. The meat was either better or on par with other Korean bbq. Also, the side dishes and customer service was amazing. The only complaint that I could make about the bbq section was how cramped the table could be with all the side dishes, but other than that , the restaurant deserves this rating. read more

the price level is higher than normal k bbq but the interior is good and clean. and we had k bibimbab and fish with bean soup. its taste was good and nothing special. read more

I live nearby and wanted to try this new restaurant. First thing I was surprised about was the atmosphere. They have 20 private dining booths you can sit in if your ordering Korean BBQ which is cooked at your table. Standard menu is avaible too. Beautiful rooms. The service is excellent, everyone is very friendly. Great food and a lot of it. read more

We were looking for a nice new restaurant in the area, and we came across Arirang-K. This restaurant is quite overpriced, but the exterior and interior were both very modern and stylish and the restaurant maintained a good level of cleanliness. The service was poor as the waitresses were not able to explain the dishes to us and the food took a long time to come. There was a mixup and we were brought the wrong dish twice, and even though this isn't a huge problem, we were expecting an apology, but the waitress didn't show any remorse. The waiters were not very friendly. They food was OK- we tried the teriyaki chicken with fried rice and steamed vegetables, shrimp and friend rice with steamed vegetables, and the poker face sushi plate. We also had some miso soup as an appetizer which was a bit salty. The chicken was a bit bland/dry, the vegetables were ok, and the shrimp and sushi rolls were fairly good. The rice was well cooked. Despite this, the food was definitely not worth the price. If the quality of food was better, I would have been ok with the prices, but the food certainly DID NOT justify the price tag. Even though the restaurant was clean and modern, due to the underwhelming service and overpriced food, I don't think I'll be back here soon. read more

this is my new go to for korean food and sushi!! So pretty inside and great service...

Would give 0 stars if I could but decided to go with 5 stars because the young hostess girl named michelle was probably the only helpful and cheerful person in there. Upon arrival, we told her there were 4 in our party. She asked if we were dining in or doing kbbq and at first we made a confused face. She noticed it and quickly realized she didn't explain and went straight into the explanation of the process which was that there's two areas for eating. We looked at the menu before we entered and decided on just dining in for light meal. After we got seated she told me my server will be with me soon and left. Her smile and laugh really made us hopeful about this place but I was wrong. We waited about 20 minutes, flagging down multiple servers but no one seemed to care. I went up to the hostess mad at this point expecting the casual response such as "sorry were busy tonight if you don't mind waiting" and if that was said, I was planning on leaving. She then grabbed her server apron out of nowhere and hopped into serving us which was really noble of her and left us hopeful because we already enjoyed her so much at the stand. She then explained that she's new to serving since her original job is hostessing and if any mistakes were made, to tell her right away. The honesty was appreciated. We ordered drinks and got them right away. We then proceeded to order food and she took the time explaining everything we were interested in and beyond. She even told us about her funny "sushi journey" because she absolutely fell in love with the sushi there and is attempting to try every single sushi on there at one point. We were curious about kbbq so she opened the menu again to help explain with pictures and explained every single meat on there as well as the flavor profile and that was very helpful because my family has never tried it. Fingers crossed we can get someone like michelle for our server if we decide to come back to try kbbq. We got traditional korean side dishes that came with our meal and our soup and salad. She explained every single side dish rather than just leaving it and hoping for the best. I saw her pour our daughters miso soups first and let it cook down before pouring ours and bringing it so they can eat it comfortably and that really touched my heart that she would go above and beyond without being asked and my daughters devoured the soup. She did have to serve us while hostessing so I tried not to bother her too much but she still took it upon her to continue serving us and checking up on us herself after the rush was over and we just bonded. We had an absolutely amazing conversation with her and an amazing night thanks to michelle. Seriously her cheerfulness and her ability to make us smile and laugh after waiting for a ridiculous amount of time just shows how sweet this girl is and she was the only one that night who cared about us and just smiled in general. Everyone she talks to, she does with an uplifting tone and is always smiling and I think the staff there can learn from her. The five stars is strictly for the girl who took responsibility when no one did and knows how to brighten the atmosphere. read more
