    Spicy chicken bibimbap. Beef is not pictured (they forgot to add it until I realized and told them)
    Bhas C.

    5/7 I tried a stone bowl bibimbap with the spicy beef bulgogi and the spicy chicken. I don't have enough experience judging the quality of bibimbap so I may update this review in the future. With that said, the bulgogi tasted great and the chicken was good. I do wish the rice on the edges touching the stone were crispier, though. My recc is to go for the spicy beef bulgogi on your bibimbap and get a stone bowl. I think it's worth the price.

    Tried ordering from GrubHub (at 6:53p) but it was too late so I just stopped by in-person and placed a to-go order. The restaurant was practically empty but you could eat in the dining area if you wanted. The menu is short and sweet but gives several options to choose from. I placed an order for two regular size Build Your Own bowls all the way with kimchi rice and one order of mandoo (the chicken dumplings). The spicy garlic pork was excellent. The regular garlic pork and bulgogi were good as well but the spicy meat was my preferred protein. I also recommend getting the spicy sesame sauce on the side to go with your bowl. It has a nice robust flavor but doesn't overpower the other bowl components. I loved the crispy Mandoo dumplings. They were a little soggy by the time I got home but after I threw them in the air fryer for a minute or two, they were perfect. If you're an average eater, the regular bowl is enough for dinner and lunch the following day. It also reheated well in the microwave.

    You can select items what you want and make your own bowl using kiosk. It is very fast. But

    New menu.

    They changed the menu! No more stone bowl option. VERY limited ingredients and the only egg you get is scrambled. Rice was cold and a soggy mess. No choice on sauces and servings are much smaller. Every thing is served in a plastic bowl, plastic utensils, no chopsticks. Plastic water cup ( you have to ask for it). Very disappointing. It was one of my favorite restaurants but it's completely off my list now.

    $1 more expensive than other locations :(

    My family has sort of been on a Burning Rice kick as of late, we've been to three of their locations in the last month or so, and of course when Plano opened we had to go since it's closer to our house. Sadly, I think it's best to go to one of their other locations, Richardson being my favorite so far. My main gripe is that the stone pot and ramen both cost $1 more than at other locations. I understand that this is a fairly big space in a pricey location, but $12 for the stone pot isn't a great value imo. We ordered a spicy bulgogi bowl and a vegetable broth ramen. The bowl was just okay, meat was a bit overcooked and dry. The ramen was pretty interesting, though, because most vegetable ramen I've seen has a clear broth or it's just miso, but this vegetable broth was creamy like a tonkatsu without the meat flavoring. It was probably more intriguing than delicious, but it was better than the bowl. I know this intersection is difficult for restaurants and while I was hyped to have Burning Rice nearby, this isn't up to par on quality or price as the other locations. Quality I can give them the benefit of the doubt for it being their first week, but price is a hard sell.

    Self service. Order from a kiosk and grab drinks. Clean front place. Restroom smells horrible and very dirty. Smells like urine on floor. Vents above full of dust. Please sanitize your restaurant.

    Burning Rice is like Korean Chipotle and I'm here for it. I like that you have a lot of say over exactly what goes into your bowl, since I'm kind of a picky eater. They also have pan seared tofu for you vegetarians out there! The flavors are very delicious and the portions are pretty good. I usually buy a kids bowl and it's the perfect size for me! (For reference, I eat half a Chipotle bowl for one meal.) Pog.

    This place is delicious!! They serve different variations of bibimbop (only) and let you build your own! Let me tell you I was pleasantly surprised at how all the flavors and textures married so well together. The serving size is perfect, not too little and not too much. The restaurant is clean and protected for covid. I would definitely come again!

    Haven't been in a while, and chose the hot stone bowl with beef bulging and an assortment of veggies. $12 - great potion. I got the spicy soy sauce on the side and dipped a few bites in there. I do miss the miso soup and the salad - a necessary cut back during Covid. But great food, super clean restaurant and friendly staff.

    Expected authentic Korean bibim rice but too soggy and red pepper paste taste is too heavy which Korean doesn't use that taste.

    I'm so happy they built a Cho Dang in Plano!…read more This place is one of my favorite go-tos for Korean tofu soup & short ribs (galbi). I love ordering the combos so I get a little bit of everything that I want. The portions are decent if you're hungry & want to finish everything OR if you're not too hungry, eat half, and take the other half to-go for lunch the next day. The service is aligned with what you'd expect from a Korean place. Some of the older ladies working there are so sweet and helpful, especially if you tell them it's your first time, and some of them seem more intimidating and aggressive. Typically there isn't a wait for tables. Only times I've waited for a table are peak weekend dinner hours. The most I waited was maybe 15 minutes, as their service is quite fast for a sit down restaurant. This location has seats where you can store your personal belongings in them!

They have a variety of tofu soup options, along with other traditional Korean dishes. My table of four ordered a seafood pancake, various tofu soups, and kalbi. The seafood pancake was disappointing-- there was very little seafood and the center was mushy, not crispy. I got the intestine tofu soup in medium spicy, which had large chunks of intestine and generous helpings of tofu. The soup portions are so large, I didn't even finish my rice. As for the side dishes/banchan, nothing really stood out. As for the service, we were seated and helped really quickly, but pretty much left alone for the remainder of the meal. The prices here are decent, especially if you share a combo meat and soup with a friend.

We got the baby octopus bibimbap with the steamed egg and bulgogi bibimbap with the tofu soup. The banchan was also really fresh and the kimchi really stood out. The portions were huge!

The steamed egg had a spongy texture which and was also really flavorful.

Even before the star of the meal appeared, kudos to the smattering of banchan that came out: sprouts, cucumber kimchi, sweet potato, mini meat patties, kimchi, steamed egg, tofu soup, salad greens seasoned, cheese + corn... I hope I didn't miss any! The mushroom bibimbap is flavorful! We've never had this particular bibimbap before and man it goes well with the meat. Beef rib was tender and nice. We wanted it a bit rare :) and it was delish! Dipping sauce was nice but honestly doesn't need it! Oh and the grilled mushroom is good with it. Pork belly was the star of the meal. Had it with 2 week aged grilled kimchi (so special!!) and we got samjang with it, yummm. We were stuffed to the rim and had to take a little box of leftovers home. We were so touched with a little desert rice drink at the end, really rounded out the meal and experience all together. A+ for the service. Amazing job and everything grilled to perfection.

    We've been coming to Ari Korean BBQ for years since they first opened, and overall it's still one…read moreof our favorite spots. The food is consistently great, and when the staff is properly trained, the service is excellent too. The waitress with the toast necklace was honestly amazing and the highlight of our visit. Her communication was perfect. She asked exactly how we wanted the meat cooked, checked in on the pacing of the courses, and adjusted everything when we asked to slow things down. That level of attentiveness is what makes Korean BBQ enjoyable. At Ari, multiple staff members rotate between tables helping out, which is normally fine. Unfortunately, every time the more mature staff member came to our table, things started getting worse instead of better. After we had already explained that we preferred medium rare and wanted a slower pace, she came over, saw a little pink in the meat, turned the fire back on, and cooked it until it was overdone. She also started putting meat directly onto people's plates without asking first. Everyone at our table had different preferences. Some mainly wanted vegetables, our daughter preferred pieces with more fat on the sides instead of the more pink cuts, and some of us simply weren't ready for more food yet. Since we know everyone's preferences best, it would have made much more sense for us to serve the meat ourselves instead of having it automatically placed onto plates. What made it more awkward was that she kept placing food only into my tray and not anyone else's, which confused my wife and made the experience uncomfortable. She also started cooking additional courses before we had even finished the first two, despite us specifically asking to slow the pace down. The side dishes were also noticeably skimpy this visit compared to normal. Usually the portions are at least halfway filled, but this time some came out barely a quarter full. We kept asking for refills, especially for the daikon, and each refill only came with two or three small pieces. At that point it felt strange having to repeatedly ask for something that normally comes reasonably portioned. One suggestion for management: name tags would really help in a restaurant where the staff is actively cooking and interacting with customers. In a professional service environment, it would make communication much easier and more respectful if customers could address employees by name instead of describing them as "the toast necklace waitress" or "the mature lady." Still love Ari overall and will continue coming back. Hopefully this was just an off night and the communication/training issues get addressed.
