Reviews
Service is exceptional. The food is very delicious!
We’ve tried many Korean restaurants in every city we visit. And, we have tried a lot. By far we can say with confidence that this is one of the best! The vibe is wonderful, its spacious, clean and server are very friendly & helpful. The food is amazing. You can tell they use high quality meats as they just melt in your mouth. The appetizer and all the side dishes are great too. This is definitely a hidden gem in Niles, IL. We’ll definitely visit here again whenever we are in Chicago area.
We came in near closing time but the owner was kind enough to get us a to-go meal. We ordered the Soy Sauce Raw Marinated Crab, and Spicy Sir Fried Squid. It was prepared within 10 minutes, and the quality was excellent. For the crabs, the flesh was succulent with umami flavor, and wasn’t salty at all. The stir fried squid was satisfying with each bite and wasn’t chewy. Overall I would say their food is well worth every penny.
I visited Chicago for business from Cleveland, and during my stay, I dined at Arirang Restaurant for a Korean meal. I was extremely satisfied with the dinner I had. Although I visited several Korean restaurants in Chicago, this one stood out as the best. The service, food, and particularly the service from the manager were exceptional. It is truly impressive to have such an outstanding Korean restaurant in Chicago. I will definitely return the next time I come to Chicago. If you want to experience authentic Korean flavors, I highly recommend Arirang Restaurant
The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. The meat was flavorful, and the prices were reasonable. The staff was attentive and friendly.
This restaurant has such good authentic Korean food & pairs that with really good hospitality from the family-like servers. Their soups are good for the soul & the soy sauce crab is also super fresh & very meaty! 2 thumbs up every time!
The service was fast and fantastic, and the quality of food (both banchan/side dish and ordered items) were high quality and delicious. If you’re craving Korean food or meaty meal, I highly recommend coming here!! I will for sure be visiting again!
Excellent overall experience dining here with my family. The beef short ribs and seafood pancake were standouts, but we enjoyed everything we ordered. The staff went out of their way for us. Would definitely recommend
A delightful experience at an authentic Korean BBQ spot! The ambiance was inviting, the staff attentive, and the BBQ meats bursting with flavor. Highly recommended for a delicious culinary adventure!
My granddaughter wanted to try a Korean bbq restaurant. This restaurant is pretty close to us, so we came here so glad we did! It was very good. We did the bbq, where they sat us, had a grill in the middle of the table. That was fun. We ordered rib and brisket fried dumplings, and it came with all these little bowls with samples of different things. We will definitely be back!
Very nice place. Clean. Super friendly staff! Great food!
It’s definitely a great place to grab some comfort food. The tofu soup are all really good and spicy, great for a cold day. The food comes with free side dishes which are also really flavorful and fresh. The spicy pork is good which you can order as a combo with the tofu soup. The fish can use a little bit more seasoning, but overall really good and flaky. Been here multiple times and will be coming back.
Tofu is absolutely delicious,a lot of free side dish , have a hot tofu soup with rice in this cold weather= wonderful !
Great experience spent here. Food is amazing and delicious. Service is awesome!! I highly recommend!
This place has large portion servings, so go hungry!
There are numerous side dishes that come to the table (eg kimchi) when taking the barbecue option.
Definitely try the pancakes.
The meat the succulent and of really good quality.
Do give their wine a try!

The bone marrow soup was really good, really soothing and comforting, especially after a long day of work. The price is very reasonable
We always come here for Korean food. Love the side dishes and my favorite, the japchae. Ask for the red sauce :)))
Nice place, good overall. I just can't give it higher as we ordered poorly which was our fault. Nice place and I am sure if you get bbq it would be delicious
We came here for the regular cold noodle. Was a surprising and different texture and everything but a cool place to visit. They also have hot pot and a range of other a la carte dishes which looked yum. Servers were nice and friendly, and service was quick too. Place is quite spacious and clean
Really solid spot for some dinners on the nicer side. The staff are extremely polite and helpful and the food is pretty awesome. I've so far been getting the BBQ bundles, the prime/mari specifically and it's been very solid. I've also been back twice so definitely somewhere I'd return to.
I ordered the kimchi chigae and shrimp tempura, and it was delivered to my house via DoorDash. The food was prepared and delivered fairly quickly. The kimchi chigae was alright! I think most of the pepper flakes settled down at the bottom of the container, so when I poured out the last half of the soup, it was uncomfortably spicy, but overall, the taste wasn't bad. However, there was barely any tofu, fish cake, mushroom, and pork in my soup. It might as well have been a container of kimchi. The shrimp tempura was good, and some fried onion, zucchini, and mushroom were included as well. Those were okay. I received a box of pickled vegetables, bean sprouts, kimchi, and other veggies that I didn't order, but maybe that was for the shrimp tempura? I wasn't a big fan of how those tasted, but the restaurant gave me two portions of white rice, so that was nice at least. The prices are a bit steep considering the quantity and quality of the food, but maybe they have better things on the menu.
Really amazing service and great quality KBBQ. The banchan are unlimited and the servers were really great at refilling any time any dish was low. The seafood pancake was so well seasoned. The meat was high quality and our server asked how we wanted it prepared and did it perfectly. It was a great place for a meal and would highly recommend anyone to come!
Food was good, portions for BBQ meats are on the larger size so one plate can feed 2 to 3 adults. They also come with extra dishes of food. I dont recommend bbq your chicken as it takes a long time to cook. Parking can be a problem but there is a parking ramp about 2 blocks away.
I’d like to say that
If you want to sit in the cool seating downstairs definitely make a reservation 😜
I didn’t do that so we ended up having to sit in the upstairs bar area. Nonetheless we still sat and ate and we had a party of 6! And we were accommodated within 5 minutes of arriving.
The bathrooms were also clean.
my experience at this restaurant was incredible! The attention to detail by staff is phenomenal. As we drank water and ate the small spreads they put on the tables they kept re-filling as we ate. The waitress was beyond attentive but not overwhelmingly so like you experience at some restaurants. The ambience was nice, cool, calm.
The restaurant is elegantly decorated.
The food was my favorite part it was amazing!! And it was super hot throughout as it was in a hot bowl. I will say that although I had an amazing experience my vegetarian friend did not have much for options as there were only 2 on the menu. Nonetheless she was very satisfied with her food as well would just be nice to see a little more variety or to be able to do substitutions for vegetarian/vegan options to be more inclusive.
Overall I would absolutely recommend this restaurant for their wonderful service and tasty food. My stomach and tastebuds had a blast!

Amazing food and environment. The staff were all amazing and cooked the meat very well. The whole atmosphere had a cool and chill vibe. The quality of the meat was amazing. It was tasty and had great marbeling. There was not much on the meat so I would recommend getting a marinated meat. The ban chan was also amazing and the kimchi was refreshing. Overall I am quite satisfied with the quality and experience at this restaurant.
This is for sure one of my favorite spots in Murray Hill. It’s so clean and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend coming for a entree dish as well as with a large group to share. They have some really good authentic dishes but also ones that are hard to find and classic ones. Banchan is ace. Every dish has so much flavor, like it’s cooked by your grandma.
Having been here many times over many years, I find it still one of the best Korean restaurants in the Chicago area. It has been several years since coming here, but I find it still delicious. It is a large place with many booths and tables, along with a large private room. This is a fun and active restaurant with good wait staff. They checked on our table several times.

Probably best Korean bbq I have had recently. I have my go-to spots in NJ but didn't quite have a fav spot in NYC until my wife took me here today. She has been here a few times and has been talking it up. And nuff to say it was even better than I thought it was going to be. Great vibe, great service, and some awesome quality meat. Oh the nangmyun and dessert (pear sorbet) were superb as well.
Overall experience was really good!
If you don't want to wait, you could go up on the second floor and ask for their bar menu.
Price is cheaper than 1st floor barbecue menu, but still can order barbecue. And they cook it for you.
Also the service was really nice! Though the price is a little expensive.

Amazing food, quick service, and some of the best wait staff I have ever experienced. Will definitely be coming again many times over. Great place and awesome experience.
REALLY good Korean food in a neighborhood full of choices. I have had better bulgogi dolsot elsewhere (flavor and not so watery), but they do have some pretty solid choices overall. A little pricey.
Service was good and pretty fast. Food was super tasty and fresh. Nice calm atmosphere. There was really no smoke smell anywhere in the restaurant Amazing exauhast systems. Will be back for more.
It was alright. The food did not taste that good. It wasn't seasoned well, there was barely any flavor in it. They didn't have any sauces available. The service was not good, and they misled us into buying more meat by saying that the quantity was less, so we ended up ordering too much because of that. The chicken came out at the end, when we were almost done eating. Only the jumbo shrimp was good. I didn't really enjoy anything else as it was bland. Not worth paying 100$ for it. And soju was overpriced on the menu. The place looks fancy, but it wasn't that clean. Every surface you touch is sticky! The seats and the table were just sticky. I guess the music was good.
Are you tired of dining at the same old restaurants? Do you want to try something new and exciting? Look no further than Yoon Haeundae Galbi, the perfect destination for foodies and casual diners alike. Located in the heart of NY, it offers a unique Korean culinary experience. With its modern decor and cozy ambiance, this restaurant sets the perfect mood for an unforgettable dining experience.The menu at is carefully crafted, with fresh and locally-sourced ingredients used in every dish (some are a little spicy so be careful haha). One of the standout dishes on the menu is the Galbi Dolsot Bibimbap, which is a perfect harmony of flavors and textures that will leave you wanting more. Don't miss out on this gem in the heart of NY!
Food was great
Craving some Korean cuisine, I stumbled upon Tofu Story as one of my options. It appears that Tofu Story attracts local Koreans in the area which suggests that you can expect a genuine Korean dining experience. As I was seated, I noticed that the menu items here were a lot pricier in comparison to other establishments such as BCD (total ended up being over $70 after tips). A unique aspect to this particular restaurant is your choice of white or purple rice (a nice touch as I was not expecting that). Opting to dine in with my party, we ordered two combos: LA Galbi + Pork Soon Tofu Combination (~$32) & Spicy Stir-Fried Pork Belly + Assorted Mushroom Soon Tofu Combination (~$29). Unfortunately, the LA Galbi fell short of my expectations. However, the Spicy Stir-Fried Pork Belly was flavorful and so I ended up ordering an extra portion to-go for dinner. The side dishes provided were a lot better than the side dishes served at other establishments and featured pickled mustard greens, potato salad (unfortunately missing from the to-go order that I ordered) kimchi, snow peas, eggplants, bean sprouts and fish. Overall, Tofu Story offers a decent dining experience with some hits and misses. Although, it is unlikely that I will be returning here anytime soon as the prices were a bit too much on the higher end.
the restaurant was excellent. the staff was very friendly and attentive. the food was also great speacially the meat. it was tender and delicious. the environment is really nice too. very spacious and colorful with korean tv shows. (as someone who likes korean culture. i really like this restaurant). overall it's a really good restaurant with friendly staff and quick service.
Ordered the Japchae dish listed on the appetizer and it already set me back by $23 dollars. Expected a much bigger portion and MUCH better quality for the dish. It seemed like half a bottle of seasame oil was dumped into my food. Only counted 6 pieces of beef in TOTAL, what a joke. The waitress kept on pestering me to order more and of course I didn't want to, for obvious reasons. "Hahm Ji Bach means that we give large generous portions 😂" how ironic. GREED!
Hahm Ji Bach…24 hrs of Korean BBQ! If I had known about this place when I was taking data structures, my all nighters would have looked totally different.
I’d recommend coming here on a weekday, rather than a weekend, as it is significantly less packed. However, the food is well worth the wait.
Everything here is good, but I generally get the pork belly and kimchi soup, topped off with a blue moon.
The service is exceptional as well, and the staff is willing to kindly explain all the side dishes to those who are unfamiliar with Korean food…it can be overwhelming at times.
The bad thing I have to say about this place is it’s a tad on the expensive side. But hey, such a place is perfect for a special occasion.

BEWARE!! The BBQ itself was decent.. My partner and I brought my little brother here while he was with us for spring break as our last meal together. We waited forever for our raw meat, which seems odd when our apps came out quickly. The fried rice was not only completely devoid of any flavor but the veggies were raw and the rice didn’t have even a single fleck of char on it so we sent that back. After that, we were served those chili rice cakes instead of the bulgogi my partner was literally pointing to in their menu when she ordered it. When she asked for a sprite, she got a glass that had something floating around and stuck to the side of the glass.. Now I don’t know how much experience the layman has with dried loogies in cups, but I can say from experience and with almost absolute confidence that’s what this was.
Oh, and they’re charging over $20 for $6-8 bottles of soju/sake that you can find pretty much anywhere.

Love coming here to eat with the family. The food is always amazing with a great atmosphere. Best authentic korean food in the area. Worth coming to check out if you are in the centreville area.
I've been here on several occasions, the vibe is always welcoming, energetic and the building itself has a metalic modern style. Great place to impress a date or show off to friends, that is if you can grill.
It's not cheap, for a dinner for two an order of pork belly, steak tips, shrimp and veggies the total was $200 after tip. The meat was marinated well and was decent in quality. Just make sure you have some knowledge on cooking meat before you arrive.
Service was fine nothing to write home about. Finding a close parking spot could've been easier. I'll definitely be back here in the near future. Good place for a date!

Long wait despite having reservations. The food was great, but my only complaint is that they don't warn you when they're out of sauces for tempura or mandu. Those are items only enjoyable with dipping sauce and I wouldn't have ordered them had I known they were out of sauce. Tempura eaten dry is especially terrible. The japchae is the absolute bomb, so delicious.
A pretty safe choice for Korean food in this area. We had seafood tofu soup and LA ribs.
The soup was good but not a lot of seafood inside but the ribs was delicious.
However, I highly recommend their ❤️🔥buns! Pretty huge. The dough was really soft, moist and slight chewy while the red bean paste was not too sweet. It was delicious when it was warm.

We enjoyed the pork belly, and the grilled mackerel would have been better if it had been less grilled.
Haven't been here in a couple of years. Always remembered this place as a good grilled pork belly spot. ordered pork belly and did not regret. Their side dishes are also surprisingly really good. All fresh and seasoned well. Pork belly portions were generous and was good quality.
I went for my birthday and it was very bad. I ordered cold noodles, and I waited for around 40 minutes after everyone else got their food. When I asked about it, did it came out a few minutes later. We also didn’t get our rice by the time we finished grilling our beef and eating it, So I told them we didn’t want the rice anymore and they left and proceeded to bring all of it anyways. They also brought the octopus at the very end as well when we’ve been there close to an hour and already done grilling. Overall, it was very disorganized, with food coming out at weird times and some of the food wasn’t good either. The tonkatsu was very dry and the Tteokbokki is more similar to honey taste then traditional. In the end, I wouldn’t recommend coming here with a party at all or if u want good service or food if they remember to bring it.
A good Korean restaurant for tofu stew and other typical Korean dishes. Food was great. Good service. A bit pricey but acceptable. Plenty of seats. Street parking within few blocks.
I’ve ordered here plenty of times through Uber Eats. My family loves their food. I’m well aware of the price increases due to the pandemic & the economic recession we’re in. Given the circumstances, they’ve always been reasonable with the portions of food for the price you pay. Well, today, 7/01/22 I decided to order for pickup. I’ve ordered 3 LA Kalibi which cost about $27 per order including tax. Picked up my food & drove back 20mins. Opened up my food any only find 5 pieces of Kalbi in an order. It’s like you take one strip of spare rib & cut it up to 5 pieces (small pieces). I called back & voiced my disappointment. Which I never have done before. They did not offer refund half of the price. But instead said they will give me more if I come back out & pick it up. Reluctantly, I did. Came back home to find just another 5 small pieces. Make it short. Had I ordered through Uber Eats, at least they will refund me half of what I’ve paid for. Lesson learned. But then again I don’t know if I would like to continue my support for a restaurant who does not value their return customer.
Can't think of anything bad to say about this place.
All the pros:
* Food and service are great
* Tables have dividers between them so you're not on top of each other
* Small side dishes have free refills
* The server cooks the food for you
* The meat packages (we got the prime package) easily fed three people
I recommend the prime meat package with the brisket for $136. The mochi ice cream was also great at $8 for two pieces.

Only place that I know where waitresses argues about tip not being 30% or more. Meanwhile they regularly fails health-codes and everything is below average, food, service, or cleanness.
My Korean friend and I never went back to this place after our memorable experience. This place gets four middle fingers from us.

Great food on top of the excellent services that my family enjoyed very much...
Every time we come to Flushing, we'd try a new Korean restaurant on Northern Blvd.
This Tofu restaurant has more than just Tofu pot. It also has other Korean favorites like Jokbal (pig's trotters).
Great service, good flavors and good price.

Kalbi was really good. Radish Kimchi was stunning
It's a popular place for Korean style organic tofu casserole w rice & soup broth, and colorful sides of kimchi. Very good prices, friendly services, on-street parking after 7 pm. Seafood pancake is good & freshly pan fried to order. Interior has been remodeled and comfortable seating. Recommended.
Open till 11 very large variety of dishes from BBQ to stews. Less crowded especially at night. Also attracts a bit older crowd . Good lunch special for stews or broiled fish . Side dishes ban chan are always fresh especially the Kimchee.
Think they have one of the best gamjatang pork neck potato stew. The meat just falls right off with the perfect amount of spices .
The owner lady is also super nice and accommodating with children
