Reviews for Arirang Korean BBQ Lynnwood in Lynnwood, WA
3 strikes and I’m finally giving up on them. This place never fails to disappoint. I keep trying it because I enjoy the... Arirang in Mill Creek, but it’s just not the same experience. Every time I’ve come here, the service is laughably bad. Onetime we sat there for 25 minutes after they seated us and then finally left. This last time, they clearly just didn’t want usthere. The service was bad, and I was in the i did try for years so I tend to be sympathetic if someone is having a bad night.This wasn’t that. It has been too consistent that we are unwelcome there. I’ll gladly oblige them and never return. 1 starbecause the food is good (and it’s the minimum, but the food is also good, for whatever that is worth). Read more
Good place for all you can eat barbecue. We ordered k2 and got what we wanted. They have a small side bar that offers lettuce... and some small dishes which are super nice. The only thing we are not satisfied with is the meat was not very tender. Read more
Not a great experience and a little overpriced ($34 pp). We arrived and the music was so loud we couldn’t hear one another.... There were a number of tables were open - we asked to sit at a specific table they said all of them were reserved. We wereseated at a table which had no vent to suck up the air so we all smelled like grease and smoke. Also with all the open tableswe were seated right next to two full tables :( I had to listen to four cops talk about suicide, homelessness and vulgar mattersfor almost two hours as they were three feet away during dinner. Really wish we could have sat elsewhere! As for food, the meatwas great - lots of options and well marinated!! The sides and sauces were decent, rice was fresh (kimchi not the best). Staffwere not very attentive. Would not return to this place or recommend. Read more
I have a wonderful experience at Arirang. Each combo got plenty of meat and they are delicious. They also come in affordable... price. The music, the atmosphere, and the waitress are so nice. I really like the extra side dishes in there. Definitely comeagain to eat, and definitely recommend it to my friends. Read more
Prices are pretty cheap, relatively, for all you can eat Korean BBQ. The most expensive level is $37/person and at this level... you get to pick beef ribeye, shrimp, and baby octopus on top of the meats available to the two lower selections (marinated beef,marinated chicken, spicy pork, beef brisket, pork belly, pork collar, marinated beef short ribs). I don't think it's worth it atthis highest level, even though it's only $4 more than the mid level. The rib eye came out frozen in the middle, and the cut waspretty lean, so no matter how you cook it, I don't think you can make it tasty or tender. Maybe it was just us. The shrimp werefresh, but still not worth paying the highest level; and we didn't care for the octopus. Out of all the meat selections, themarinated beef short ribs were the best, thick and tender! There were several marinated meat options and we would recommendthose over non-marinated ones. We loved the self-served stations of side dishes which included plenty of lettuce for wrapping,premade dipping sauces, banchans, egg dropped soup, and cooked white rice. Overall, I would recommend solely for the low price,and the tender short ribs. Read more
I don’t know why use these mobile gas grills, I’m not a big fan of how close it is to my face and when you grill, it sizzles... sometimes onto me. As for the meat, it was great. The meat was marinated well and cooked good on the grill. As for the sidedishes, it’s cool how it’s self serve and it’s buffet style. It’s not the best side dishes I’ve ever had though. AlsoI wish they were more quick about making rice and having it out on time. I wasn’t able to eat my meat with rice because itwasn’t ready or something. In replace I just used lettuce wraps which was still good. I’d definitely come back here again.It’s not a bad place! I’ve been to the Arirang location on Mill Creek and it’s a lot more different experience andthere’s no self serve buffet style like this one. As for price, we got the cheapest which was $25 per person. That’s areasonable passable price. Read more
We visited Arirang in their rush time. However, we were seated right away and the service was incredible and attentive. They... have their menu changed (photos attached below). AYCE doesn’t come with steamed egg and soy bean paste soup anymore, but youstill can order on the side for $3 which is not bad at all. Their menu!!! Read more
Typically I would give places like this 2-3 stars but giving it a 4 because meat were good and customer service is really great.... Order came out fast. Other places I usually have to wait 20 minutes or more to get orders in. The down side that preventing mefrom giving this place a 5 star is we were seated at small table. Did not ask if we want anything to drink, and you are notbbq’ing… you are frying/cooking it on an cast iron. Aside from small stuff everything is good. Read more
