Food is great therefore i skipped taking alot of pictures…read more We came 2 hours before they closed. First started off lots of banchan and kimchi. The homemade kimchi so tasty and not spicy (if you can't take the heat don't worry) Beef intestines - 5/5 Marinated beef ribs - great 5/5 (re-ordered again) Fresh eel (that's why we come) ordered two and excellent lots of omega3. 5/5 Marinated raw crabs (need to eat with rice, i hope they have purple rice instead of white rice). 5/5 Grilled Squid in hot sauce i didn't eat because family said it's too chewy. 3/5 Steam egg - 5/5 Tofu soup comes with the meal - 3/5 (too salty) Cold noodle was so yummy, must add the mustard goes so well with bbq because it's a bit sour (i added vinegar) helps digestion Soju is not the brand i like kinda like water. Great service. Auntie here is so caring , she asked few times if we get too cold etc. she gave us whole lot of extra kimchi to take home. Lots of candy (the one from squid game) to take home as dessert. Separate restrooms for men / women Great experience, glad we came late so it's not crowded will be back again!

Cuisine: 8 Service: 8…read moreDecor: 6 Value: 8 Overall: 8 For most people, Korean food means BBQ meats over a grill, along with all the small side dishes that come with the meal. However, for most Koreans, a more common meal is often soup based. For those in the know, they are a nation of broth. When I have a craving for Korean soups, this is one of my favorite spots, especially for their beef based soups (menu items #1-6). They are all good, but my usual order is #3, Doseolleongtang (ox bone soup with sliced beef shank & tendon). The shank meat is quite tender, while the tendon has the perfect texture. My second choice is #5 Ggogaltang (oxtail & short rib soup). Other non-beef soups I enjoy here include the #7 Soondaeguk (blood sausage soup) and #8 Daeji Gupbak (pork soup). I do also believe they have a very flavorful #16 Bajiraktang due to an abundance of clams. However, there was some sand the last time we had it. Other than soups, they also make good versions of #30 Jokbal (braised pork shank) and #31 Bossam (boiled pork belly w/ cabbage & radish kimchi). Definitely order one of those items for a group gathering. Maybe also add #33 Dogani Muchim (spicy ox knee tendon salad) or #34 Golbaengi Muchim (spicy sea snail salad) or #39 LA Galbi (marinated beef short rib). Lastly, I have tried their #37 Ojingeo Bokkeum (spicy stir fried squid) as well. Though solid, this is not the place I would get this dish. #22 Goon Mandoo (fried dumpling) is decent and their Kimchi Jeon (kimchi pancake) was crispy but a tad bland. As for service, the owner Tesh and his staff are very friendly. They also are attentive without ever being overbearing. I really appreciate their hospitality and pray they are around for a very long time.

Sometimes the best restaurants are the ones you just stumble upon -- and this soup spot was exactly…read morethat. I was craving something different from my usual Korean BBQ and stumbled across this cozy little place serving amazing soup dishes. The Food: 5/5 I ordered their ginseng chicken stone pot soup and it was everything I needed for a cold winter day -- flavorful, rich, and comforting. They started us off with some tasty little pickled radish and sides, which made the wait feel even shorter. Speaking of which, the food came out in about 15- 20 minutes, piping hot and beautifully served in a huge bowl. The Experience: 5/5 The portions were generous -- like, truly bowl-of-happiness level generous -- and the staff was friendly and quick. Prices ranged around $18-$25, which felt totally fair considering the quality and portion size. You could easily come here with family or friends, order a few soups and some pancakes to share, and leave completely satisfied. All in all, this place feels like a comforting hidden gem near Flushing but at the Murray Hill LIRR. Nothing fancy or pretentious -- just really good food, warm service, and cozy vibes. I left full, happy, and already planning my next visit.

Cuisine: 8 Service: 9…read moreDecor: 6 Value: 10 Overall: 9 This review is probably 20 years too late because I've been coming here ever since they opened in 2002. My Korean friends took me here and said that it was the only pork BBQ specialist in all of Flushing at the time. When I walked in, I realized exactly what they meant because they had no menu and only pork belly as your choice of meat. The other noticeable difference was their large dome shaped cast iron griddle on the middle of each table, which is more common today, but was the first place I had ever seen one. I knew immediately that I was in for a brand new experience and I was excited. Over the years, I have continued to come here for my porky cravings, and introduced this place to many family and friends. The restaurant has experimented with many more items and now has a menu full of other meats for the grill, but honestly, stick to the pork items is still your best bet. Btw, prices are still lower than their competitors like always. Yesterday, we went for Father's Day and the family couldn't have asked for a better experience. The service is as good as ever from start to finish, like always. Attentive without being intrusive. Our waitress made sure to always keep our grill stocked with kimchi, garlic, and bean sprouts, which catches the drippings from all the porky goodness in the center part of the inverted circular griddle. I can't express enough how wonderful the service has always been at this establishment. For this day, we had the black pork belly and shoulder, as well as premium pork neck and skin. Maybe the texture of pork skin is not for everyone, but you really can't go wrong with the other three. My favorite today was the belly, but other people preferred the shoulder and neck. Golden brown and crispy outside, juicy and tender on the inside. Dip the meats in one of the three sauces. Then eat it with a lettuce wrap, adding whatever veggies combination you see on the grill and table. One important note, do not leave here without having the Fried Rice at the end of your meal. They take whatever is left on the griddle, add more if necessary, cut it up to smaller pieces, then toss in marinated rice with lettuce and seaweed, based on how many portions you request. You can also add items like egg and Spam if so desired. Btw, each portion is about a small bowl meant for one person. At this point of the meal, you likely won't need that much, so I advise one bowl per two people. Then again, you can ask for more and take home what you don't finish. Just remember to allow the Fried Rice to cook long enough on the griddle that the bottom forms a crispy and crunchy crust. Anyway, if you like pork and looking for a uniquely wonderful experience, then make sure you find this hidden gem that has been making their customers happy for over 20 years now.

Loved it! The pork…read morerib belly and pork neck were delicious. It was a lot of meat and very filling. They grill for you, and it's perfectly tender and juicy. They also add kimchi and bean sprouts on the grill, and you can add fried rice for $6 near the end of the meal. They fry whatever you haven't finished into a fried rice, and it's the highlight of the meal! It's simple and casual inside and not too crowded. The staff are friendly.

The lady serving us was great friendly and gave off auntie vibes. Nothing special about the decor I mean you go, you eat, you drink. Straight to the point with no frills.

When ordering, the waiter made a face at our choice of marinated duck saying no one gets marinated meats so we took her suggestion. Not sure if marinated would've made the meat taste better but either way still a small quantity and poor service throughout since the moment we walked in. When she asked what water and true of rice wanted, I barely finished saying what I wanted them she left without a word (no one was calling her) leaving us confused whether she got out order or not. Overall not a good experience. Would rather get AYCE bbq or another kbbq place nearby for same price

Honestly, everything we ordered worked really well together, but the sujebi and bossam completely stole the show. I would come back just for that sujebi, no hesitation.

We were craving some Korean comfort food, and came across Arirang. Ordered seafood noodles ($18.99)…read more(kalguksu) and seafood pancake ($19.99). I was told that the noodles are homemade, and the texture was chewy but not overly soft. If you get the order to-go, you best eat it ASAP because they do not separate the noodles from the broth. The bowl was filled with a bunch of clams, mussels, one shrimp, zucchini and carrot slices, and potatoes. The clams were flavorless and a little sandy, but the mussels were good. The broth was clear and flavorful, but not overly salty. The seafood pancake was good. Portion size is big, batter very crispy, it's oily but it doesn't feel that way when you eat it. Only con is I wish there was a little more seafood. You are given banchan of freshly fermented kimchi and radish kimchi. I prefer fermented pungent kimchi because I enjoy the sour taste, and though the radish kimchi was really chunky it was on the sweet side, so I wasn't a fan. The staff speaks Korean and Chinese.

My daughter tried the kimchi seafood noodles, and that was a total win too. I've been coming here for years, and it's been consistently good every single time. A true comfort spot
