This is fairly no-frills casual place which you can probably infer from the focus on KFC. It's nice enough to sit down for a meal but don't expect to feel the desire to hang out too long. The tastes were definitely a mixed bag. The fried chicken was very good and definitely the most authentic I've had in the city so far. Kimchi jigae was not bad and will definitely give you your fix of the classic staple. However, bugolgi dumplings were clearly store-bought and tasted like they'd been in the freezer for ages - skip these because they're really weird. Fairly inexpensive. Try it if you're in the area.

The interior gives you a sense of being in an underground bar somewhere in Asia, and it comes complete with Pucca dolls nestled on top of the booze bottles behind the bar. There is seating both upstairs and downstairs, but given how crazy it gets, if you're planning on coming, book in advance. I've eaten here twice, and I can safely say that the food is legit! It's surprisingly authentic given the location, and the drinks aren't half-bad, either. The Bibimbap with Bulgogi Beef is one of my favorites, thus far, with the perfect ratio of rice to beef, kimchi to veggies. It's one hearty dish, so come hungry. The Signature Fried Chicken is also done to perfection, and if you've ever had Korean Fried Chicken before, you know what I'm talking about. It's not expensive, but sadly, you only get 2 pieces. Believe me, you will want more. I can also vouch for the cocktails. Being a girly drinker myself, I can't pass up a delicious fruity cocktail from people who know how to put it together well. However, they also have a great Happy Hour with some of the cheapest beer you'll find to pair perfectly with your meal. That is how they do it in Korea anyway, isn't it?

I got a salad box with bulgogi beef, along with all the toppings and spicy sauce on top. For 6 pounds, it wasn't exactly a bargain, but it was a good deal of food!

The food for the lunch special was bland and flavorless (maybe the bulgogi needs the spice). I was the first person in the establishment so when I was seated the employees were just staring at me eating for the whole 30 minutes that I was there (a bit uncomfortable). I first thought it was because they were checking to time out giving me the check, but I ended up approaching them to pay once finished. I held too high of expectations for the lunch menu, featuring blandness soup with an oversized spoon (didn't finish at all), okay tasting side salads, and flavorless main dish.

Who doesn't want fried chicken that's so dirty, it's good!? Well, filthy it was but for all the wrong reasons. We started with the Jihwaja Hansang, a sharing platter with a little bit of everything off their menu. It was a massive plate topped with what seemed like reheated frozen party finger foods from a Korean version of an Iceland supermarket. Everything tasted bland and flavourless. The jeon was mushy. The mandu deep fried and greasy. The beef galbi was like sliced pieces of shoe leather. Overall, a disappointing and borderline disgusting plate of food. Then came the chicken. It was an entire bird, battered and fried. I was expecting perfectly crisp morsels of fried chicken tossed in a spicy, sticky sauce. Instead, we got a mass of badly chopped up chicken pieces dumped on a plate. The first piece I tried to bite into was the chicken neck. Yes, the neck. I'm Asian and have eaten a lot of iffy things but this was just bizarre. All the other pieces were covered in soggy coating that just slid off the meat. The sauce had no flavour whatsoever. I ate because I was hungry but seriously, it was some of the worst fried chicken I've ever had. There was very little redeeming about the food. They should be embarrassed to be serving this stuff up. Even the average places in Soho puts this place to shame. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Soho Korean barbecue - and only so-so. Arang had good meats (fatty and flavorful beef tongue, pork…read morebelly, and ribeye) for their authentic tabletop charcoal grills, but unfortunately, the good news stops there. If you're used to Korean BBQ anywhere there's a solid Koreatown, you know to expect the banchan to be complimentary and plentiful. I mean, that's part of what makes Korean BBQ such a fun experience! Arang, however, charges for the banchan (and we had to buy 2 "orders" of banchan for the 5 of us; each banchan order comprised of 3 small meager dishes), as well as for the kimchee, the namuls - we even had to pay extra for the lettuce leaves for eating the grilled meat as ssam! I can't tell you how dismaying it is to be nickel-and-dimed this way (or would this be "penced-and-shillinged" in Britain?) as it really detracted from the pleasure and hospitality of Korean barbecue. Other than the barbecue offerings, Arang's other dishes are uneven in quality and taste. Their bindaeduk was very thick, un-crispy, as well as un-flavorful, and was made the cheap and easy way with mung bean powder rather than ground fresh mung beans. A mixed seafood and vegetable rice dish (haemul-deopbap) was more American Chinese than Korean (and tasted it too - not to diss American Chinese cookery, that is). However, a Korean mixed seafood fry (modom-jeon) was quite tasty - and thank goodness it was, as it was one of the priciest items in their menu. The service was good, however, attentive and polite, and the waitress working our grill was a delight. That kept our collective opinion of Arang at 3 stars rather than 2.
