" As a Korean food lover, I had high expectations for Alirang, but it fell short in some areas. While the food quality is relatively good, the authenticity does vary from dish to dish. A few things had a more Chinese twist, which surprised me. The service staff seemed overwhelmed but did their best. Overall, a decent place to try. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, Alirang is okay, but there are better options in the area. The bulgogi was just standard and lacked the wow factor. The atmosphere is nice, but the food needs to be more flavorful to be memorable. I not sure if I’ll be returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Alirang has a special place in my heart, mainly because of their kimchi. It's perfect! The ambiance is cozy, making it a great place for a casual meal. However, the wait times can be frustrating, especially on weekends. I think they could benefit from hiring a few more staff. All in all, it’s worth it for the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally tried Alirang after hearing rave reviews! The atmosphere is cozy, and everything felt right. My friends and I ordered a variety of dishes to share—everyone enjoyed the flavors but remarked on the slightly higher prices for the portions. Overall, I think it’s worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience overall. The food lacked flavor and authenticity, especially the tteokbokki which tasted bland. The service was okay, but they forgot a few of our orders. The atmosphere is nice but doesn't compensate for the dining experience. I might give it another chance in the future, but this time was a letdown. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is great for groups! We ordered a bunch of dishes and shared, and every bite was delightful. The kimchi is as authentic as it gets, which is a huge plus. The servers were friendly but could have been a bit more attentive to our needs. Would definitely come back for the good food! " (*Curated Review*)

" We celebrated a family gathering at Alirang. The food was great, lots of flavors and generous portions. However, the service wasn't as attentive as I hoped. Our orders got a little mixed up, but they handled it well, and the staff was polite about it. Would definitely recommend the seafood pancake! " (*Curated Review*)
