If you're craving authentic Korean food in Plano, this spot delivers. Their signature grilled pork…read moreribs are the star of the menu--tender, flavorful, and perfectly charred. The seafood pancake is packed with seafood and comes out crispy on the outside, while the banchan (Korean side dishes) are fresh and plentiful. The atmosphere is casual and family-friendly, making it great for both lunch and dinner. Service can slow down during busy hours, but the food is worth the wait. Overall, a solid choice for authentic Korean comfort food in North Texas.

It is a nice spot to enjoy a meal with friends and family or even on your own. The grilled pork ribs are big, meaty, tender, and juicy. It's glazed in slightly sweet sauce and it has a smoky charred flavor from being grilled. A hearty yummy must try dish when you are here. The bibim naengmyeon or korean spicy cold noodles had a good amount of that spicy sauce mixture (not very spicy if you're worried about that), and it is refreshing with the kimchi and radish. You can even doctor it up with the vinegar and mustard they provide to compliment the dish. The banchan spread includes kimchi, cucumbers, fish cake, salad, and a korean sweet mashed potato. Great bites to pair with the entrees. Overall, the food came out at a reasonable speed, so service is good. Nothing too notable in terms of service and ambiance but the food is good if you want a no frills, simple, hearty korean meal!

My friend and I ordered the following: Combo special w/ tofu soup and korean bbq ribs Cold arrowroot noodles Tofu soup was very comforting and had a good kick (I ordered the medium and it was just right).

I heard that the chef also moved over but that's not something I can actually confirm. All I know is that the food is just as good and consistent as ever. Service is solid too with attentive servers.

So for me I've learned I probably just shouldn't order 5 even though there are days it's fine for me. If you're craving Korean food you can't go wrong with Cho Dang

We opted for the Beef and Pork Combo B (difference is bone-in prime rib and bigger quantity). The prime rib was fantastic (cooked medium) and pork jowl was juicy. We also tried the brisket but it was on the leaner side so it was a tad bit chewy. We had an array of banchans like kimchi, cucumber salad, steamed egg, tofu soup, corn, daikon, fish cakes, etc. We also tried the Seafood Pancake. Though it wasn't stuffed with seafood, it was perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Two servers rotated cooking our meats and were so skillful that the meats never burned. They gave us to-go boxes that had aluminum foil lining the bottom so the grease doesn't soak through. That was thoughtful! My only concern was the ventilation system. When we walked in, it was really smokey. I noticed the smoke from our grill not being sucked in by the vent directly over us. Maybe it wasn't on or maybe it wasn't strong enough. Either way, a lot of smoke was filling the restaurant.

We haven't been back to Ari in years -- so many restaurants in the area keeps us trying new places all the time. We were ready to go back. FYI: weekends is crazy busy, I recommend a weekday visit if you can. We lucked out with a wonderful waitress who walked us through the menu, explained the different marinades, helped us explore our options, and even brought out extra sides for us to try. She was over the top and personal. Maybe you can request someone to do the same for you. She explained how the grill worked, the different ways each meat could be cooked, how to use each sauce, and made sure we knew what we were doing lol. For a couple of BBQ newbies, it was such a fun and interactive experience. Expect to spend between $30.00 - $50.00 per person, without a bar tab, and depending on your meat choices. We left happy and full, and walked away with a lot more knowledge than we arrived with. Highly recommend!

Ari in Plano stands out among Korean BBQ for me…read more The service and reliability of quality are the first things I think of. The servers are really friendly and have gotten to know us, so they remember what we like and don't and proactively accommodate. While I don't expect this from restaurants in general, it goes a long way and makes for a way better experience. We used to be regulars at a different location which is now under new management, and service & reliability there changed. We switched to this location when we heard that Plano was still run the way we liked, and had some of the former staff. Both turned out to be true, so it made a few minutes' farther drive well worth it. Like many other Korean bbq, Ari has a selection of meats to choose from. While we have some favorites (like seasoned prime short rib) all the ones I've tried them have been very good. I love the soybean soup and the salad with its very tasty dressing. The egg and cheese corn which cook alongside the grill seem are always be kept full if you want. There are many sides provided like kimchi and my favorite pickled radish, and unlike other places where these can be hit or miss, Water is provided, but I like to get the buckwheat tea. One thing I really appreciate is that the quality has reliable every time - there has not been a "the soup just wasn't as flavorful today" or "those radishes weren't pickled so well today" or an overcooked meat yet. These are small things, but they show care and attention, and are things I value a lot.

This was my first foray into AYCE Korean BBQ. I saw a video on social media and decided to try it…read more FOOD: Lots of choices for sure. We had the la galbi, squid, pork belly and shrimp for proteins. Then had the kimchi rice and japchae--both very good. ATMOSPHERE: This is in an old business location that used to be Jin Korean. It is functional and definitely has a K-pop vibe going on. Very dated and the air conditioning needed to be cranked up. 100+ degrees outside and the pumped up grills in use were canceling out the air. SERVICE: Here is where ALL the deductions add up. The manager showed us to our table and left. A young man came and asked what we wanted to drink. (No name given-just turn on a light over the table to flag him down. Taken from Walmart's playbook.). There was a language barrier and we were reduced to asking for water. The nicest person tonight was the guy who changed out our grill. Despite telling 3 employees it was our first time there, no explanation on how any of this worked. TIP: Go somewhere else.

But…read moreI'm getting older and sometimes, soup is all I want as a meal lol Believe me when I say that you do not want to sleep on this place. The galbi tang is the best Korean soup that I've ever had. Yes, it's better than soondubu (tofu stew) or budae jjigae (army base stew). Our family makes both of these stews at home but once we discovered the galbi tang here, we order it at least once a month. Ok maybe at least twice a month lol The ajumma here is the sweetest person and I like to tell myself that everything from the soups to the banchan are her homemade recipes. I have no way of confirming if that's even true but even the banchan is delicious. My husband discovered this place when he ordered something here once last winter. I forget what it was but he was given a side of galbi tang in a small, stainless steel bowl and the rest is history. I love this place, I need it to be around forever so please come eat here and enjoy. You're welcome. My only suggestion is that I wish they would sell the banchan sets because I would buy them and eat them with rice. Delicious!

Ambiance is perfect with K-Pop playing in the background. Lets talk about the main thing here - FOOD. We got the Kimchi Chicken Fries (KCF) and the 10 pc wings with Seoul Hot and BBQ Soy Garlic. Ok, KCF was AWESOME. My wife is not always a big Kimchi fan and I had to fight her on these pieces :D We basically almost were gonna lick the paper if there was no one around, so if you do go here, absolutely get this one. Next we got the 10 PC wings. These have to be some of the best fried chicken I have had in DFW area. Seoul Hot is an amazing flavor. Not spicy but just a nice sweet heat that feels amazing. BBQ Soy Garlic was great too, but next time we are getting 20 of just the Seoul Hot haha. We also got drinks - Wife got the highball which had a decent punch and I got the yogurt Soju which made sure that I was zoom zoom zoom-ed by the end (we were super tired that day too so it felt just good and right).
