Ari Korean Bbq - Carrollton

Tasty but dirty.I will bet they don’t know how to wash their dishes.Update: Ari serves low grade, in my opinion, beef. khalbi(rib) tastes nothing but chewy. If you taste rib from Costco you will know what I am saying. It used be dirty but served tasty meat but not anymore. Do not waste your money here.

I understand why this restaurant is so popular:1) great service (the waiters or waitresses grill the meat to perfection for you. Honestly want to call them grill masters the meat was so tender and juicy!)2) meat quality is high (to be honest we liked everything we ate but highlights below) our favorites was the short rib finger meat perfectly seasoned and tender and cooked super well followed by marinated short rib3) clean and plenty of side dishes that can be replenished when askedTip:1) Go during lunch no need for reservations. We went Saturday at opening which is 12 pm. Got a seat right away. If arrive at 1 pm, there'll be a wait. It filled up pretty quickly.Side note: smell was so delicious we were just happy being treated like a Korean bbq vip and eating so no pictures

Overall not bad. The marinated kalbi was good. The side dishes were just ok and there weren't many other options for appetizers or other dishes.

Delicious food and great service.This Korean BBQ place is not AYCE. You pay for the meat you want. We got the Beef and Pork Combination Large, which comes with four different meats, several sides, and two soups. Unlike other KBBQ places, you don't need to cook your own food. The waiter comes by and cooked everything and cuts it up to nice, bite sizes. Food was really good and I always enjoy the steamed egg. Between the soups, I would say the soybean paste soup is the best. The place is great for big groups. Lots of tables, but expect a wait.

This was my first time ever trying Korean BBQ! I was very happy!! All the servers were super nice were very informative!I will definitely be returning here!!
