Keepin it real out here in Flushing Food is authentic and def hits. Authentic enough that it might not be for everyone, and they're hot too, like it stays hot just like how homemade style food should be. Service wise, one lady was really nice and the other one was aiight. Did have a dirty bowl and spoon with dried up tomato on it. Usually it would bug me but for some odd reason, i was fine with it because of the vibe maybe

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!

Kimchi Chicken Kalguksu, kimchi seafood kalguksu

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
Karen M.

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 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!

Kimchi
Sharon L.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

Been craving a Korean meal with 10 banchan since Ramadan. This is the only place that comes to mind…read morewhen I think of 10 banchan. Banchan: 3/5 kimchi- pretty fermented 3/5 eggs in soy sauce- decent 3/5 macaroni salad- not a fan of the stuff but standard 3/5 acorn jelly- all the flavor is in the chili sauce, wish they would add the sauce inside the jelly while making it 5/5 kkaktugi- my fave, less fermented than baechu kimchi 4/5 broccoli- how do they make something so bland- looking so flavorful? 4/5 mackerel radish- spicy, not a fan of radish that's not pickled but this is really good 4/5 potato strips- I love any type of potato 3/5 radish strips- wish it had less of the radish taste/smell but ok decent otherwise 3/5 mul naengmyeon $15- contains a slice of beef, standard, better when you add mustard & vinegar 4/5 cinnamon ginger tea- so nice of them to give something sweet to end the meal, has a bit too much cinnamon, so it's hella spicy (red hot) but really good otherwise 4/5 service was much better this time than any other time, really helps when you speak their language lol, I know they're always busy but they do need to pay a bit more attention as it's still hard to make eye contact once in awhile

Pros: - service from staff is always amazing, they're very…read morekind and friendly - portions are always very big and they give plenty of banchan (side dishes) amd refills Cons: Comments: - went on a Saturday around 12PM, at first there were only 2 other tables and it wasn't so busy but when 12:30 hit, it got really busy and all the tables were full - I've been coming here since high school and the quality of the meat has always been amazing - I usually go with one other person and 1 portion of samgyeopsal and 1 portion of kalbi is enough for the both us - the music usually isn't too loud, it's at a level where you can hear it but, it's not overpowering your conversation if you're having one

This place is a little of a hidden gem and not quite like other Korean restaurants. But no gatekeeping here! We also came at a weird lunch time around 2pm so it wasn't really busy and we were seated right away. Once you enter, you'd quickly notice the very detailed beautifully hand painted murals on the walls and an abundance of painted butterflies. The attention to detail is impeccable! The menu is also very cute and I'm guessing handmade. It was pretty detailed and we appreciated learning about each dish before deciding what to order. We ended up ordering the Kimchi Pancake with seafood, the spicy bulkoki udon and the jeyuk udon. The kimchi seafood pancake was super crispy and filled with squid and shrimp! It also came with a semi sweet dipping sauce that paired nicely. Both udons came out piping hot and fresh! Udon had a nice chew to it, was loaded with vegetables as well as meat for each dish. The egg was fried and did not have a runny yolk. For sides, they gave us 4 things- a tomato salad, kimchi cucumbers, braised string beans, and bean sprouts. The tomato salad came in this cute apple shaped dish but neither of us really cared for it- this is completely biased though since we're not really fans of tomato. What we really did love was the kimchi cucumbers! Also at the end, they served us 3 pieces of cantaloupe which were very sweet. Overall, yummy food, cute shop, and friendly/nice staff! I'd come back to try their other food options in the future!

Came here late night with my boyfriend - we ordered the squid and pork dolsot bibimbap. so good!!!…read moreGood portions and the side dishes were delicious :) We will definitely be back

Tried this place for the first time, it was a Saturday night. We arrived around 5:30 table of 2 and…read morethere were 2 other large parties. It got busy, almost full house around 6:30ish. 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.

I was at this very tasty KBBQ place a while back with one of my usual groups. The inside is casual,…read moreand our waitress, Jane, was extremely friendly and helpful from refilling banchan to cooking meats and otherwise. A couple of us shared a $13 bottle of the green grape flavor of Chum Churum, a soju. In terms of banchan, there was a bunch. Everyone got a cold and refreshing cabbage soup as well as a very tasty version of Braised Tofu/Dubu-jorim/두부조림. Once we ordered, we also got a bunch of other banchan, including cabbage, radish, and cucumber Kimchi, broccoli and cauliflower Namul, Marinated Mushrooms/Beoseot Bokkeum/버섯볶음, Anchovies With Peanuts/Myeolchi Bokkeum/멸치볶음, and Potato/Gamja Salad/감자샐러드. One of the other things brought out was a pretty tasty version of Raw Soy Sauce Marinated Crab/Ganjang-Gejang/간장게장. Most of these were refillable. The first actual thing that arrived was something that I can't eat, the $22.99 Seafood Pancake/Haemul Pajeon/해물파전. I have a cephalopod allergy, or in other words, anything with tentacles, so I avoid squid and octopus, and seafood pancakes always contain one of those two. Everyone else enjoyed it, though. The pajeon I could eat was the Kimchi Jeon/김치전 for a dollar less. It was pretty tasty, though I prefer other spots that had a bit more of a crisp. Next was one of their signatures, the grilled duck. Going from online reviews, we went with the non-spicy version, as people prefer it, as the spicier marinade overpowers the duck. This was the $29.99 Sang Ori Gui/생오리구이. The sliced duck was on a hot, sizzling plate, with there also being a lot of grilled onions and scallions. The duck had a mix of pieces, ranging from fatty to less so, and had a nice mix of textures. This was easily one of my favorites, though I liked it even more when paired with the ssamjang that arrived with the BBQ, as the sauce balanced the light fattiness. Arriving at a similar time was the last thing I couldn't eat, the Spicy Stir-Fried Baby Octopus on Iron Plate/Jjukkumi Cheolpan Bokkeu/철판쭈꾸비볶음, for $30.99. I couldn't try the octopus, but the portion was plentiful, and I had a bit of the noodles on the bottom after making sure there were no tentacles, as well as trying the sauce. The sauce was tasty, spicy, and very flavorful. We went with two of the Korean BBQ meats, one beef and one pork. My preference of the two was surprisingly the $49.99 Charcoal Grilled Marinated Beef Ribs/Yangnyeom Galbi/양념갈비. This also came with two veggies: kabocha squash and asparagus. The beef was extremely tender, had the perfect mix of fat and meat, and had only a light sweetness from the marinade. This was absolutely delicious and very much worth the price point. Also tasty was the Grilled Pork Belly/Samgyeopsal/삼겹살, for $36.95. This also came with a few things, including cabbage and a large mushroom. The pork belly was delicious, being just fatty enough and very tender as well, with a mild chew. The BBQ came with a few extra side dishes. This included a tasty steamed egg/Gyeran-jjim/계란찜, greens, an onion salad, ssamjang, salt, and a small boiling pot of soybean stew/doenjang jjigae. They were all tasty, though nothing particularly notable outside of the portions being generous. Also, at the end of the meal, they gave us some sujeonggwa. Not much for me to complain about this place. The food was very tasty overall, and the service was wonderful. I would go back and order a full beef BBQ set.
