Finally visited Arirang after years of driving by. We liked it. They did some things better than others, but we will definitely return. What's good: The value. We both ordered K2 for $35.99 each, and it came with 8-9 AYCE meats and self serve sides included. May I suggest that you ask for a "half portion" of the first four meats you pick? They bring you an INSANE amount of meat. Even if you are starving, making it through the first round is no small feat and you may not even have room for a second round. Just remember, you can always get more! Favorites were marinated beef, beef short ribs, pork short ribs, and spicy pork. Service was perfect. Sodas have free refills. What could have been better: We weren't crazy about the banchan in comparison to other places. The kimchi was good, but they had some odd things like pasta salad and mashed potatoes that seemed out of place. We liked the "salad bar" style, but the options weren't very impressive. All in all, a decent night out! It felt clean and was a popular place on a Friday night. Can't wait to go back to try some new things.

Came here with some friends today and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. The buffet was great! Banchan was on point. Meat quality was good. Service wasn't very needed because of it being a buffet. Not too crowded but decent amount of people eating. I look forward to visiting again!

Love the new Arirang 2.0! Their hot foods are delicious and I love that there's a good variety. Meats are also fresh and I love that we can get it ourselves, which eliminates waste for me since sometimes I just want 1 more pork belly to end my meal. They keep the brisket in the back, so you'll have to ask your server every time you'd like another plate but they bring out the initial plate when you first sit down. My favorite thing about this place is that they have spicy raw marinated crab (Yangnyeom-gejang), and it's so good!! I've searched near and far for good spicy raw marinated crab but the closest restaurant is in federal way. Service could be better but I'm there for the food! Highly recommend! We've been here 3 times the past month LOL

This was the second time I have come here and while I do think that they have raised the price of the AYCE by $10, the buffet of sides is VAST. The meat is also self serve. I also had no problem with the quality of the meats. The servers were attentive, as they brought water when they noticed we were out and replaced our grill when it needed. I also liked the modernity of the grill and vent. There was no smoke and I didn't leave smelling of fire and coal. Overall, I enjoyed the variety and value and would gladly return.

I have been to this place as early as 2016, and I'm happy to say that the service and food quality has improved since then! I also love their Mill Creek location, and this is a great and affordable KBBQ spot to eat at with friends. At my most recent visit, there were new self-serve side bars added, and there were a variety of side dishes. I really enjoyed the amount of options we had, and the fried food was kept warm. The meat is also available for you to grab at the side bar, which I think is a great idea because you can feel free to grab whatever you want, and whenever you want! I believe the only meat you need to order from a server to bring out is the beef brisket. The service was wonderful, the servers were attentive to our needs and came to ask us if we wanted another order of beef brisket when they saw that we were low. They were also happy to change the grill upon request. I would definitely come here again for KBBQ, it's also given me the opportunity to try other Korean side dishes!

We came around 8:00pm on a Saturday, so it was pretty busy. We got seated around 8:30pm, and there was 9 of us, so we had to wait for them to put two tables together. I really liked that you just go grab your own meat (except you have to order brisket from them) from the cold bar. And they had a nice hot bar. Lots of sides you can choose from. And this was the first time I saw marinated crab for all-you-can-eat, and I ate more of that than anything else. Service was friendly, and food was great.

My friends took me here for dinner and I thought the food was delicious! What we ordered: Bibimbap - I thought this was delicious! Granted I don't order this very often but I thought this was yummy! Super glad that the stone pot really crisped up the rice which I think is the best part of bibimbap. Galbi - super delicious! The meat was very tender and flavorful. Highly recommend Tofu jiggae - I had a bite of this and really enjoyed this! I'm not the biggest fan of jiggae but I really thought this was delicious.

So the head cook from H Mart recently bought this restaurant. It is still an AYCE Korean BBQ, but much better. The amount of banchan and side dishes available exponentially increased. And every single one of them tasted fantastic! I had to restrain myself from eating more Korean bbq wings, onion pancakes, mandu, etc. The meats were all well-marinated and of decent quality. The staff consistently changed out the grill plates to keep us grilling properly. I'd definitely come back and will make sure to bring an appetite!
