    Gopchang Soondubu
    Ailun H.

    Hang Ari was (kind of) on our way back to Nova and we wanted some kalguksu or something soupy during this cold and wet Sunday afternoon. We arrived around 2 PM and there was still a good amount of people in the restaurant enjoying their meal. GOB CHANG SOONDUBU - 13.95 (L), 14.95 (D) My friend who's been to Hang Ari many times said her favorite item from the menu was the gob chang soondubu. And yes, I can attest to this being very good and comforting. I asked for mild spice (definitely could have done a bit more) and the broth was flavorful. The gopchang was washed pretty thoroughly so it didn't feel too sandy or anything. The tofu was passable -- definitely very store-bought in terms of taste and texture. Either way, this soondubu really hit that afternoon and I'd recommend. Overall, food was good but the service is slow and not the most responsive. We enjoyed our food for the most part and people seemed to like their clam kalguksu here!

    Grilled pork

    3.5 rounding to 4 Hang Ari is a good spot for Korean comfort food - grill meats, bibimbap, kalguksu, you name it. Not the most amazing food but it hits the spot. Banchan is a decent variety - mostly pickled items. We order the spicy grilled pork (well seasoned, came out on a hot plate, and very tender) and clam kalguksu (we actually had a good number of clams in ours). I agree service isn't great but honestly I've rarely great service at a mom and pop Korean restaurant in the US.

    Soondubu combo with fried fish (croaker)
    Jennifer J.

    We had their mixed (beef and seafood) soondubu and overall it was alright. Not the best, but decent soondubu. I got the soondubu combo with the fried croaker and wasn't a fan of the fish. Honestly wish I had gotten the mackerel, but that's on me. Maybe I'll try their kalguksu one day, since I see there are many positive reviews for it. Service and staff were great! Friendly and the wait wasn't that long. Restaurant is conveniently located in a plaza with several other businesses, with plenty of parking.

    Stir fried pork

    Hang Ari has some of the best Korean comfort food in the area. Prices are reasonable and service is really quick. I stopped by on a busy Sunday evening. The place was packed and people were piling in. I love how they have the service button so you can push if you need assistance. My friend and I shared the seafood, beef Soondubus and the spicy pork stir fried Jeyook Bokkeum. Food quality was on point. The stir fried pork was not spicy at all. It came out on a hot sizzling skillet. The sauce was on point! Well seasoned and cooked perfectly. The Soondubus are a must order. My seafood one came with some large prawns and clams. You can customize your spice level as well. Prices are fair here and I left full. Parking is really easy to find in the shopping center. They do not accept reservations at this time. I really enjoyed my experience here. Its wholesome Korean comfort food at reasonable prices. I even saw some people eating alone. Thats when you know the place is bomb. There is a wide variety of seafood and meat dishes to choose from. There is plenty of seating for small to large parties. The restaurant is a bit loud with people talking over each other. I'll definitely be back to try their galbi dishes.

    A small Asian restaurant when you want something that is tasty but not fancy. They have no coffee or tea and several things on Yelp are no longer served. I tried to order several things that looked good on Yelp only to be told they don't have that anymore. We ended up ordering several items like a tapas restaurant and simply try it all. Everything was OK but not great. Bathrooms are not maintained and filthy when we visited.

    Naengmyun with kalbi
    KC W.

    This is my favorite spot for naengmyun, or Korean cold noodles. It's so refreshing and perfect on a hot summer day (though tbh I enjoy it year round - and this is one of the few places that serves it year round). The broth is so flavorful and the noodles are easier to chew than the traditional buckwheat noodles so your jaw won't be as tired lol. Make sure to order the kalbi combo and eat a piece of kalbi with each bite! I honestly don't really eat anything else here unless I'm with a bigger group, but their seafood pancake (haemul pajeon) and kalguksu are pretty good, though the kalguksu noodles were a bit over cooked last time I had them. I've heard the soondubu is good too but haven't tried it myself. Even though I love the food here, I have to take off a star because service can be really questionable. Sometimes they ignore you and sometimes they're just flat out rude. It seems like they favor certain customers, like their regulars or elders (there have been numerous times when my party is the only group waiting, and a group of ahjussi/ahjumma show up and get seated first). It's really not a great look, but their naengmyun is so good that I overlook it every time :')

    난 이 돼지국밥으로 점심 한끼를 때우며, 엄청 행복하다. 기것해야 국밥인데. 이런거 하나로 행복이 어쩌고 저쩌고 하다니. 내가 이렇게 간단한 인간이였나. 그러나 부정할수없다. 난 이 국밥 하나에 오늘 일하는 보름을 느끼고, 무슨 상을 받은 느낌이다. 열심히 일하는 당신도, 이 행복에 한 뚝배기를 드셔보라. 그리고, 느껴보시라.

    Gob Chang Soondubu
    Peanut B.

    A solid Korean place in Ellicott City. Enjoyed my gob chang soondubu with max spicy level. It was quite authentic. Would come back to try other dishes.

    Galbi
    Laura P.

    I got the combo 1 which included the beef short rip(Galbi) and the spicy seafood tofu soup(Suk Uh Soondubu) I did make a mistake of ordering medium spice since they are actually Korean spice level I should've gone with the mild instead, but the food was delicious and the tofu (firm but soft and flavorful) was the best I have had in so many years.

    Clam noodle soup
    Ha K.

    The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. This was my second visit, and it was just as enjoyable as the first!

    Cold noodles naemyong half and half (spicy and classic)
    Julian B.

    Amazing service and food. New owners and managements. The dumplings are handmade. Soondubu is perfect. Cold noodles were excellent as was the pancake. Great service and atmosphere.

    Patrick R.

    This is a great Korean restaurant. Lots to choose from on their menu. The portions are large, and easy to share when your party orders different items. The service is friendly, but be prepared that some orders take a little bit longer than others. We however had a great time and enjoyed the food.

    Kathy P.

    Soondubu and galbi combo nearly $30. Yummy but is it worth it?? Bought three for the family. Really hurt my wallet. Service is pretty awful, especially if you order carry out. No one smiles. They ignore you standing there to pick up your order and pay. They make you feel like you're burdening them. Parking in front is almost nonexistent and difficult to leave. I often tell myself not to go here... then I go forgettin

Service: 5/5 server was very kind, cooked the meat for us, and was amenable to getting us plates and bowls for sharing food. Ambiance: K-pop music that isn't too loud in the background. Tables are not too close to each other. There are 2 levels of seating, bathrooms only on the lower level.

We tried out a combo meal of 6 with ribeye, sirloin, mainly beef. The servers also grilled and cut all the meats for us which is nice. All side dishes are pretty standard like most other Korean restaurants. A delicious bowl of steam eggs came with the meal, wish they would at least offer two bowls for a party of 6 and surprisingly no rice came with the combo. We had to add an extra order of steak and seafood pancake since no one was really full with the combo. I would say this place is for those who have high expectations of fresh & premium meats. You will not be stuff or over indulged because it can be quite pricey. Our bill with tips & taxes was about $55 per person. It's a bit pricey for lunch and I wasn't even full. If you never been to this restaurant before, I recommend that you try it out at least once but I don't think we will be back here anytime soon.

    summary: great experience all around. Went on a weekend and love that they open a little earlier…read morethan other restaurants (10AM), so it was pretty empty. The staff was incredibly accommodating and friendly and checked in on us often to make sure we didn't need anything. The food was delicious and fresh. Would definitely recommend if you're in the mood for some traditional Korean soups/dishes. Details: They are located in the route 40 shopping center area near HoneyPig/EC Diner and the venue is a pretty modest sized location. There's still a decent amount of seating (standard table and chairs) with small-ish bathrooms. The menu items range from like mid 10s to mid 20s on average depending on what kind of protein you're ordering. The portion sizes are pretty generous. I think my favorite menu item we tried was the snowflake dumpling. Very aesthetically pleasing, but also tasty and crispy. The banchan (side dishes) were fresh. As far as the flavors go, I was happy with all the entrees. The dishes had the depth of flavors you hope for when you eat soup like these. The meats were also tender and well cooked too. Overall positive experience!

Not bad by any means, but not quite what I was hoping for in terms of depth of flavor. That said, it's still probably one of the better Korean spots in the neighborhood. The space itself is really small and definitely gets busy, so be prepared for a bit of a wait or tight seating. Prices are also on the higher side (around $20 per dish), which adds to the expectations. I will say, the service was warm and friendly, which I appreciated. Overall, if you're not making Korean food at home, this is likely your best local option; but I might stick to my own bone broth next time

Given the various Korean restaurants in the area, I must say that this place is a great spot for family, friends and group gatherings. The food here is very fresh and the staff are very friendly. We ordered various dishes from their LA Galbi, Bossam, Fish and tofu soup combo, seafood pancake, spicy pork and their rice cake soup. The LA Galbi was the best we had in town. Tons of flavor and the meat was juicy and meaty. The Bossam was delicious. Pork was tender and comes with sides to help you bring out the flavor of the dish. Definitely ask for their bean sauce and slices of jalapeño and fresh raw garlic. The fish and tofu soup is really good and can be shared with others. Fish was fresh and flaky. The seafood pancake was thick and has tons of seafood and comes with a nice dipping sauce. The spicy pork was plenty and has tons of flavor. Not too spicy. The rice cake soup was surprisingly good. Tons of flavor with slices of rice cake, eggs and pieces of beef. Great for sharing especially with young kids. Overall, this place is great to check out if you are in the area.

The pork belly was not as flavorful but comes with sauces. Some the meat was dry for this dish. 4.

My Korean friend even said some of the dishes remind him of his mom's cooking, which I think is a very high compliment :) Since it's so affordable and a buffet, don't expect anything intricate or outstanding. I found that some of the sushi was not savory/flavorful enough. And I wish there were some dessert options. But overall, I do like this place!
