" Having been to many Korean restaurants, I can say that Arirang offers a solid experience. The food is the highlight, although the service could be better. It just felt off during my last visit; I might give it another chance soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. When I first visited, the food was to die for, but my second experience was not as great. The service was poor, and we felt forgotten. I'll decide if I want to return after a few more visits. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food at Arirang is great and definitely authentic, I can’t say the same for the customer service. The lady who served us seemed overwhelmed and didn’t check on us often enough. The food itself was worth the visit, but I left feeling a bit neglected. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really impressed with the kisang, and the side dishes were incredibly fresh. However, the location could use some sprucing up. A little more attention to the environment would go a long way. Food is still the main win! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had such a lovely meal at Arirang. The spicy pork barbecue was to die for, and I loved the assortment of sides. The only downside was that it felt cramped inside. Still, I'll definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)
