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

I really enjoyed the calm atmosphere and family environment. I didn't get a chance to grab the itemized receipt but I chose #3 in the combo section which was brisket, pork belly, and boneless short ribs. That's totaled out to $111.34 with tax included. Unfortunately I had to cut my meal short. I definitely recommend this restaurant and many others in the Ellicott City area. Overall 4.1 of 5

You can really tell they prioritize quality over quantity. Service is quick and you get seated right away. I came in on a Saturday morning. It's à la carte rather than all-you-can-eat, but honestly, it's 100% worth it. Every dish feels intentional, and the meats cook beautifully on the grill. If you're looking for true Korean BBQ with premium cuts and an authentic experience, this spot delivers. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates quality KBBQ.

Tons of free parking. Accepts cash and credit card…read more This establishment is located off of Route 40, but is towards the back of the shopping center. 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. Comes hungry and you will be satisfied. Cheers!

I…read morewould 100% come back, but I rated it a 4/5 just because I noticed in multiple dishes the meat was a little dry. This is my ranking for what we got. 1. Seafood Pancake -- such a comfort food and cooked perfectly! 2. Oh Sam Durichigi (pork and squid stir fry) -- we cleaned out this dish, great flavor! 3. Bossam -- worth the hype! The pork belly was not as flavorful but comes with sauces. Some the meat was dry for this dish. 4. Beef bulgogi (no pictured) -- honestly paled in comparison of the other dishes and had the driest meat. I wouldn't get it again tbh

You can't beat the value for the price. The lunch buffet is all you can eat sushi and Korean food…read more It's located in the rear of the Koreatown shopping center. The inside is pretty spacious. Plenty of seating available even when the parking lot is packed for the lunch rush. The price is 19 per person. The sushi was good but not all that great of a variety. Most contained tuna and salmon. The buffet had a lot of choices. I enjoyed the spicy pork and the bulgogi. Then also had a cinnamon punch and lemonade. This is my first time try cinnamon punch and I could say that it was quite interesting but not something I would get again. The lemonade was good but very sweet so I had to diluted with some water. Overall, a good place to come if you are very hungry because you will definitely be able to get your moneys worth .

**Good value for all-you-can-eat!…read more I came on a weekday for their lunch special with all-you-can-eat sushi and Korean dishes. The price is very affordable! You do have to be here from 11am-2pm (I believe). I came with a large group and we were seated very quickly. Everyone thought it was a fantastic value. 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!

The boiled pork wasn't your traditional bossam - it was mostly fat cap instead of 1:1 for lean to fat cap. We had plenty of leftovers - would recommend coming here for a Korean pub experience!

I have rarely seen bossom at a restaurants because it takes a long time to prep, and it was really good here.

Hang Ari is casual inside and makes you feel like you're in a Korean restaurant (I haven't been to Korea but it appeared that way). The menu was pretty extensive and while we were looking, the owner, Joe came over to explain how the menu worked. It was very helpful. We ordered the Seafood Pancake, Dogani Tang soup, Suk Uh Soondubu (beef & seafood mixed with soft tofu soup) plus Galbi combo. Small Korean sides of kimchi, cucumbers, radish, and a couple other items were brought out. I always enjoy eating the sides which were all good. The seafood pancake was huge and had a ton of green onions which I love. My Galbi was lightly sweet and tender. Joe came back to assist with cutting up the meat and turning the tofu soup for me so the flavors were mixed. I enjoyed the medium spicy level I got for the tofu soup and really enjoyed everything we got. Such a great find for some delicious Korean food. Staff were friendly and the owner, Joe was awesome. Will definitely plan on coming back again!
