Seafood long noodle
Emily C.

Arirang is one of my favorite spots for a good Korean noodle soup and the scallion pancake especially! I've been coming here for years and I can't believe I haven't reviewed it yet. It's a decently sized restaurant with a good amount of seats that's often filled with locals and regulars. Every time I come, I HAVE to get their seafood pancake. It's a must and it never disappoints. It's huge, super crispy but not oily, and has a good amount of seafood. All of their soups are delicious. You can go for a lighter broth like their seafood soups or a more rich broth like their chicken soup. Each is flavored so well. I personally love the long noodles more than the flat noodles but both are cooked to the perfect texture with a slight chew. I recently tried their chicken dish that is a little pricier but so worth it. The portion is absolutely huge and there's so much in it from the chicken to rice cakes and even glass noodles. We got it for take out and it came in two big containers. It's a restaurant that's perfect for a comforting meal. They also have some of the best homemade kimchi and radish!

Shrimp chive dumplings
Kris L.

Very quaint spot for some simple home style Korean noodle soups offering long noodles (kalkuksoo)or flat noodles. (Sujebi). Their kimchee is spot! I'm not sure why I never tried this place! Their shrimp chive dumplings were delish! Cash tips only. Check out the pics of our meal!

Arirang feels homey, the kind of mom-and-pop restaurant that comforts your soul on a cold day. We ordered the kimchi chicken and the kimchi seafood kalguksu. Very generous with the portion size and so much mussels, clams, and shrimp in the seafood kalguksu.

Kimchi seafood soup with flat noodles
Jennifer L.

The restaurant offers multiple high chairs and is pretty kid friendly. The portion sizes are pretty big and the soup is super comforting on a cold day. The texture of the flat noodles was perfect - chewy and not soggy. The service was quick. The waitresses speak Chinese, Korean and English. Definitely recommend and would love to come back again!

Seafood scallion pancake

Great spot for chicken based noodle soup dishes (you won't find beef dishes here). We ordered the chicken soup with flat noodle, a small chicken ginseng soup with rice and a seafood scallion pancake. The soup dishes were light but you can tell they make the soup from scratch with care. This would be perfect for days when you're feeling under the weather or need something warm to pick you up. The pancake was nice and crispy with a tasty dipping sauce. The complimentary kimchi and radish were fresh and delicious. We will be back to try the chicken porridge one day. Service was friendly and efficient. Note: there was a sign requesting that gratuities be in cash.

Very mom and pops type of restaurant! The kimchi seafood pancake was a solid 10/10. The pancake was packed with ingredients and crispy and also not oily! I really enjoyed the pancake. Ordered the kimchi seafood flat noodle as well and felt that it was okay as well as the kongguksu which is kind of like cold soybean noodle. The noodles were chewy which I liked but it was pretty bland. It was my first time trying the konguksu so I wasn't really sure how it's supposed to taste like but def not for me. I would come back again to get the pancake and try something else!

Kimchi

Updating my review to show Arirang some more love! I'm genuinely convinced that if I had to choose a last meal, it would be Arirang's chicken kalguksoo. This seemingly simple bowl of noodles is perfect in every way, and always hits the spot. The broth is so deeply savory, flavorful, and comforting. Portions are consistently generous, even with inflation through the years. Every order promises a heaping portion of noodles, chicken, scallions, and potatoes. I personally prefer the long noodles (kalguksoo), but the sujebi (flat noodle) is also a solid choice. For the indecisive, order both! On self care days, I usually make the trek to Arirang from Brooklyn just to enjoy their noodles. Service is always kind and friendly, and they're quick with any kimchi/radish refills. Prices have gone up a bit to around $18/bowl of noodles, but again, the portions remain generous. Cash is still preferred for tip. Parking is a bit difficult around this area, but doable. One things for sure - the parking difficulties are worth it to enjoy a meal here!

Kimchi Seafood Pancake
Sandy D.

This is the place for good noodle soup! I went to a similar restaurant selling the same dishes, but Arirang does their noodles better. They do not overwhelm the soup with a surplus of noodles, allowing you to taste the hearty flavor. I got the Chicken Noodle Soup, which had a strong garlic flavor in the soup, but delicious! The chicken was incredibly tender. The Kimchi Seafood Pancake was an unique offering and tasted great, but I just personally prefer more of that pancake in my bite. These are great though if you prefer more crispy shell, loaded with large ingredients. They did not skimp on their seafood pieces! The service was also amazing, with a constant water refill. I would come back to try more of their noodle soups!

Ginger chicken soup
Jason C.

Ginger chicken soup was really good. If you're ever sick and need something soupy, healthy, and delicious, this is the one to get. Good for the winter time too. The service was alright; not warm, but also not cold. The atmosphere was fine too. Everyone is usually to themselves. Just come for the food!

Seafood scallion pancake
Cathie P.

We tried this place for the first time. We were craving soup on this chilly day. A friend recommended this place so we had to try. This is not a large restaurant so if you go on a weekend, make sure to get there before prime meal times. We got there just before 12:30 on a Saturday and was able to grab the last four person table. Mind you this is Queens so parking is scarce. Plan ahead. I'm not sure if this is a family business, but the people waiting and bussing the tables were older, Korean woman. I don't mean this in a negative way, just found it unusual since most restaurants we've been to have been mostly serviced by younger people. Now to get to the food. This restaurant specializes in noodles, specifically, kalguksu and sujebe. I think the ingredients used to make both are the same but the shapes are different. Kalguksu are noodles and sujebe are flat pieces, easier to eat. I ordered the chicken with the flat sujebe. It was very deep in flavors and the sujebe was the perfect texture. I would have preferred thicker pieces I think that's just a personal thing. We also ordered the seafood scallion pancake. We order this whenever we can, and in recent times we have usually been disappointed. The pancakes are too doughy, too greasy or don't have enough seafood. We were not hopeful when we ordered so we're pleasantly surprised and actually really enjoyed it. It was crispy and full of seafood, perfect in my opinion. There is no ambience here. You are definitely coming here just to eat the food. There were about four tables of just one person enjoying a large bowl of soup and noodles. I do feel they didn't do a great job of seating people. Two of the single diners were placed at four person tables. I guess when they're not busy, it's not an issue, but when there's a line out the door, it did seem a bit wasteful. This placed really hit the spot on a cold winter day. One last thing, no AMEX cards and tips need to be in cash.

Don't order from DoorDash

I had ordered chicken noodle at 11:15 then my order was cancelled by merchant or Doordash dasher at 11:56 I was very disappointed I thought I was gonna get a refund or credit, had chat & also call but never was able to get my Refund $21.13. DoorDash rip me off! Never ordering from DoorDash again deleted DoorDash App! such a bad customer service when the merchant or Dasher cancel on you! DoorDash won't refund! WTF!! Never again!

This spot was adorable. Tiny petite Asian ladies with big personalities. The lady kept saying I got the VIP table because I came alone. She was cracking me up. I got the wide noodles with kimchi and chicken. She told me it's not good with tofu. Lmfao. The portions are pretty big. Most people took the food to go. Tip is cash only. So I paid by card, rushed to find a bank to pull out cash (luckily Chase was a block away). The ladies were appreciative and sweet. It's a cute spot with a lot of local clients. Adored it.

Chicken Sujebi with added Pork Dumplings
Juan K.

Always a great spot to cure hangovers and for a rainy day, this is my backup restaurant for when I'm craving Kalguksu or Sujebi and my number 1 is closed. We came in and got seated quickly, we ordered right after I had the Chicken Sujebi with pork dumplings my girlfriend got the Kimchi Seafood Sujebi. They are so attentive that they moved us to larger table once it became available, such a nice touch and a far cry from my previous visits While my chicken Sujebi was as I was expected my girlfriend wasn't happy that hers only had one shrimp! Aside from that this place is great!

Cuisine: 5 Service: 5…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 7 Overall: 6 The short answer? The food is alright. The service is average too. I came here a few times because they have a precious parking lot. However, I wish they could improve upon their food a tad. The namesake tofu stews all lack depth of flavor and the quality of tofu feels underwhelming. Their accompanying steamed white rice also tastes too firm and not glutinous enough. Together, this restaurant does not make a better soondubu than most of the Korean restaurants around, even though they should specialize in it. Also, they don't offer much in terms of banchans, which seems like a common trend in many Korean restaurants. On the other hand, I would say that their Grilled Mackerel and Grilled LA Galbi is decent. Not good enough that I would go here for those dishes because I have many options for those items. I come for the soondubu and sadly I have given it enough opportunities to impress.

Very comfortable space to dine as a family of four and if you are a larger group, they have a great space on the side for larger parties. The bahn chan was delicious, especially the egg. Tofu was soft and good flavor in the plain broth. Grilled mackerel was delicious. Few places make it less salty without asking and theirs was spot on! Bibimbap had good flavor without needing to add the sauce. Enjoyable meal. Would definitely come back.

There's 2 waitresses and one busser, but I felt only one of the waitress was pulling the weight, while the other (maybe she's the owner?) mostly chatted with one of the table customers. I felt bad for our waitress she was so busy with fulfilling takeouts + dine ins and the dishes require a lot of servicing table side. She couldn't catch 1 second of break :( Food wise, we got their 2 person combo of spicy pork gamja tang and spicy rice cake which came with the steamed egg. Everything was so good, egg was extra fluffy, rice cake was delicious and the meat came right off the bones. They take a good variety of side dishes. My partner wasn't a fan of the gamja tang but due to feeling it's a hassle to eat meat with bones, so those who fee sim may agree. We also asked for the fried rice after we finished the gamja tang, for 2 servings I think it was $4.75 or something. I really enjoyed it but I guess I like scorched rice, also something my partner doesn't enjoy so those we feel sim just note. Environment feels very old school, well worn. Feels cozy. It can get loud very quickly on a Saturday night as this place seems to be a hit for large parties. Since the wait staff is short handed, expect a bit of a wait for things. Don't come if you're in a rush.

We were a group of 6 and came to Daori for some Korean BBQ. They're located on a residential street but next to several other stores and restaurant. We were surprised to see that they had TV's which was great since the World Cup final was playing. We are told the Iberico pork was the star here. We ordered several other dishes as well. The pork was indeed very good. My only comment was that the waitress seemed very stressed and frazzled. She was stressing about cooking the food and some of it was getting overcooked but also our banchan didn't get refilled because of it. Their English is also not great so there were times when we had a tough time communicating. I would say overall the food was good and we had a good time. It was also very reasonably priced. After tips, it was only $64 per person. We'll definitely come again.
