This place was so good! Great quality meat and side dishes. Even their naengmyun was good. They can accommodate large parties with no problems. I'll be coming back here soon.

This restaurant was great when the new owners came a few years ago. I loved it and invited my family and friends back then because the meat was fresh and good. I loved this restaurant so much. But not anymore.... We had a family dinner here last weekend. The tables were very uncomfortable, the bench seats moved on their own and had to be fixed several times while we were eating, the meat was not fresh and smaller than before. The steaks were also small and had more than half the fat. The server couldn't reach one grill so we had to wait, and the meat was cold when they moved it from another grill to the inside table. We spent $600 for a family dinner and it was not worth it. I still love this restaurant, please run it with the same attitude as before.

Arisu is a fantastic spot for families to enjoy premium-quality meats without the hassle of cooking at the table. Unlike typical all-you-can-eat (AYCE) restaurants, Arisu elevates the dining experience by preparing everything for you . We ordered Combo A, which includes Prime ribeye steak , Prime marinated short rib, Prime boneless short rib (kotsal), and Prime seasoned steak. The combo also comes with steamed egg and your choice of side soup . Every cut of meat was top-tier, with beautiful marbling that set it apart from standard AYCE options. Each bite was cooked to perfection, showcasing the staff's skill and attention to detail . We also added a seafood pancake and that was top tier. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I've never had it so good! With exceptional service and high-quality meats, Arisu is a must-visit for a family meal that's sure to impress ‍‍‍. Highly recommended!

Great quality of kkot sal and good service, servers were very attentive and kept refilling water and ban chan. There were four of us and the table was big enough for 6 people. We ordered 3 orders of kkot sal and two bottles of soju and it was enough for all of us. I would definitely come back here.

Visited Arisu on a Wednesday night and I wasnt really impressed. Usually I take about 2 hours at a kbbq, but this place was rushing for us to finish even though they have asked us if we wanted to take things slow or fast. Plus, they cook the food for you. Since I was meeting up with a friend here, we definitely took our time. However, staff kept staring us and made it evident they wanted us out even though it was only us and another party at the restaurant at 7 pm. Overall, might come back for a quick bite vs a place to catch up. They are decent, service just seems a little pushy.

I am so happy that they redecorated this place! It's so clean and bright now. The food is also so much better. I guess they changed owners since the last time I wrote my review a few years back. The wait staff is quick and efficient. I ordered my staples - kimchi jjigae (Kimchi stew), kalbi and bi bim naeng myun (traditional spicy and sweet noodles, perfectly al dente and not too sweet). All were great, the side dishes were also tasty. The Kalbi wasn't too fatty or grisly. They are not an AYCE BBQ so the quality is much better. I now order takeout for my mom and she is super picky. For her to approve means a lot. She likes the takeout packaging as well, it's well thought out and cute. I will be back again. Tip: pay in cash, they are a small business so they enjoy not having to pay the CC fee.

Delicious and high quality KBBQ -- I think it's the best in the area. We ordered combo A, and all the meats were so tender. You can really tell they care about the quality. The only thing that was a little disappointing was that their marinated galbi was a bit fatty and too sweet. Besides the meat, all the side dishes were delicious and had variety. Kimchi jjigae hits the spot, and steamed egg also good. Service was great; they cooked the meat to perfection and made sure we were well taken care of.

If you're looking for a lowkey high quality kbbq spot.. Arisu is your go to. Rarely a wait with a friendly and clean environment. If you're not interested in only kbbq, you can always order the many options they have to offer outside the "KBBQ". You got options of ordering set menu's or you can order a la carte. All the meat's I've had here has been quality.. from the banchans to the meat selections. This is a kbbq spot where they cook the meat for you, but if you don't want them to help and you wanna take your time.. just let them know so you can go at your own pace. Overall I really enjoyed this place for their quality and service. It's definetly one of my top 3 kbbq's to come to in OC. By the way, there's no rice paper given here, only raddish if you like to eat your kbbq taco style.

This place has the meat, cooked at the table by the server, the Banchan a must accompaniment to a good meal and the noodles. The mandoogook was also good. Service was excellent.

Love this place! We live in Redondo Beach and when we need to go to Buena Park, we go here for the BBQ and nangmyun (cold buckwheat noodle soup). It's also a plus that my parents like this place. In my opinion, they have the second best mul nangmyun (my favorite is Morangak in Garden Grove, sorry!). We don't mess with other meat options. We always get the Prime Boneless Short Rib. The quality is top notch. Like other KBBQ places with high quality meats, price isn't cheap... They give plenty of yummy banchan (side dishes) and a free jjigae (choice of tofu stew or kimchi stew) so it's all worth it for me. After eating the meat, we get tasting size nangmyuns. They're half the size of normal nangmyuns. Good service, friendly staff. Clean and spacious~ They also speak English if you need English speaking person. Plenty of parking in the shopping center.
