Arirang Restaurant

"My girlfriend and I went for dinner on a Saturday night. Was extremely busy, and only had 1 server for the entire restaurant, but you could not tell. The young gentleman was balancing all of the tables perfectly, even cleaning them off to sit new guests immediately. The food was amazing, we will forsure be back next time we visit Ann Arbor"

"I had high hopes for this restaurant. Unfortunately, it is nowhere near as authentic as it claims. The most beloved Bibimbap dish is not even made correctly. Instead of a wide variety of marinated/pickled vegetables with a side of rice, the bowl is sadly filled with a few raw vegetables such as iceberg lettuce, sliced carrots, and raw cabbage, with rice already on the bottom that is lukewarm. My daughter ordered the pork Japchae dish, but the noodles have been cut to a ridiculous two-inch length and mixed with strangely sweet small pork slices, without many other ingredients. The seafood pancake is hard, and there weren't any green onions inside. We were the first customers to arrive for dinner service, and it took nearly 20 minutes to get our food. The only thing that was good is our server; she was friendly and pleasant. It seems like the chef has taken many shortcuts when it comes to ingredients, yet it still lacks quality and authenticity. Unable to recommend this place."

"This restaurant has lost its passion. There is no love and effort put into preparing dishes. The menu is misleading. The Stir-fry we ordered was dry. Seafood soups were nothing but the broth and tofu. To the owners: the simple solution is to remove some items from your menu and focus on quality. Also, please change your view of your clients. Your clients are not dumb."

"Too much waiting time, even though only two tables in front of us, we had to wait for more than 45 mins after ordering. Asked for dishes refilling, it took 15min for waitress respond to us. The dine-in order waits after online dasher order and only one waitress working at lobby and packing up. Very bad experience, will never try again."

"Such a lovely, welcoming place. We were welcomed right away and seated quickly. Our waitress was fabulous. The menu reflected a great array of dishes. I sometimes struggle going to eat someplace with authentic dishes as I often have to ask for them to accommodate numerous dietary restrictions. They were wonderful in listening and removing ingredients I couldn't have. I was left with a flavorful and fresh bowl that I enjoyed. My husband enjoyed kimchi. We also savored dumplings that we were told are made fresh and homemade. It was a great experience, and fresh, flavorful food."
