ARI Korean BBQ & The Cakeshop

Dinner was great. Table service was excellent.

Great service, good and overall ambiance , food was amazing and the staff where so attentive. I will go back when I can.

Over all it was a great date night. Price was reasonable for a date night. I love the dessert and cafe inside the spot. We got to buy bottle of soju togo and that was definitely a plus.

It was such a wonderful experience!!! We loved it!!! We will go again. Do not forget to stop at the macaroon bakery on your way out!!!

Fun and memorable

The ambience was great for a date night or even a girls night out. It is a little pricey though. Overall, we enjoyed it.

I’ve been before and enjoyed it. However this time taking family I was disappointed that when we did the all you can eat prime dinner, they made us pay for a vegetarian (even though she ordered a full meal she could eat). Also they only brought one each of the small sides out for the entire table. We asked for another set so we weren’t having to reach over the hot cook top but didn’t get them. Sadly, the meat was the same portion for 5 adults as it was when two of us went. With tip over $550 for 6 and left not feeling great about the experience.
Sadly that was the last time

Wonderful experience! Service was excellent, food was delicious! Friendly and welcoming staff. Clean and covid-conscious. A great evening :)

It was our first time having Korean BBQ and we were not disappointed. Plenty of food to go around.

Love this place! Quite authentic... could be In Seoul eating this meal. Fantastic service and great quality.

Superb Korean BBQ in North Fulton (Johns Creek) located at the corner of Medlock Bridge Road & State Bridge Road in the shopping plaza where AMC theatre is located.

Our friends who lived in Tokyo, Japan for 6 years, and are connoisseurs of Korean BBQ (which is very popular in Tokyo) invited us to join them. While they did the ordering, this was our first experience with Korean BBQ.

Our food was prepared at the table as most tables have the cooking area in the middle of the table. This assured that all the different meats and vegetables were literally prepared in front of you.

Although I was not tempted to try the kimchi (which everyone said was fantastic) I held out for the meats, prauns and vegetables, which were all sumptuous.

There is also a Korean bakery which is inside the restaurant, making selecting a desert a nice ending to a wonderful meal.

We will return and I highly recommend you to with friends or family.

The food is delicious, and the service is always very good and attentive. Will dine with Ari's again, soon.

It was good but they didn’t have any Wagyu, which was the reason that we came.

Graduation

I had a great experience! Great staff and amazing food 🤙🏻

Due to Covid, it was not busy at all. We had a wonderful dinner and service and cleanliness was great! Will go back.

Favorite Korean BBQ ever . Delicious food, friendly staff and great ambiance.

Servicer Was Excellent
Food Was Fresh & Delicious
Highly Recommended

Excellent and Romantic Setting, Food was outstanding

What a great find! Our server was very conscientious about the way he served and his friendliness and helpfulness easily extended out from behind his mask. Having lived in Asia, we were so happy to find a place that is authentic and has delicious food.

We went to celebrate a birthday. The place was essentially empty, which meant that our server, who told us he was new, could focus on us completely. Our party had 7 people, and we got an appetizer and AYCE A. The meat and sides were good and plentiful, but I ordered a drink that never came as our server didn't put the order in until after the bartender went home. When we got to dessert, it was absolutely abhorrent. Both the cakes and pies had to have been sitting there for at least a week; the frosting was so hard we could pick up and entire piece of chocolate cake by the top bit of frosting. The slices of pie were like rock and had the consistency of sand taffy. They removed them from our bill after we requested it, but we had specifically stated in our reservation that there was a birthday; they even offered the birthday boy a complimentary cake when we walked in! They didn't offer any kind of discount or to comp the appetizer for the inconvenience; we didn'tever see the manager either, which would have gone far for our impression of the restaurant.
What dropped their rating (besides the disgusting dessert, which made us question the quality and care taken in our food), was that they automatically charge a 22% gratuity fee. 22%! We've heard of 18%, but 22? They obviously think highly of themselves. Yet they still expected an extra tip on top of that!
Overall, for what they are, it's a bit pricy and the dessert that they are supposedly known for were subpar at best. You're better off going somewhere else for Korean and then hitting a real dessert place afterwards.

We enjoyed our meal very much. There was way too much food. We were greeted at the door and had very attentive service.

Always love going to Ari. Best Korean BBQ in Atlanta.

We met our son there for a nice lunch on a Saturday. Food, service, ambience were perfect. We also enjoyed pastries we purchased at the Bake Shop. Overall a lovely dining experience.

This is our 4th time back and the food is the same high quality that we’ve come to expect when dining here. Rory, our server, is one of the kindest and friendliest person we’ve ever met. She is so attentive and professional. When it comes to korean bbq, we will only go here because no where else compares to the selection and tasty options offered with the all you can eat.

Good service and wonderful food

My boyfriend and I absolutely LOVE Ari Korean BBQ. We go to Ari every time we have a celebration. The food quality and service is impeccable. The best Korean BBQ & possibly the best steakhouse in Atlanta. Plus, the desserts from The Cakeshop are just as delicious!

High quality food and service. Attentive server and so many options to choose from for the AYCE. Though it’s priced higher than other AYCE Korean BBQ, you get what you pay for because the wagyu does make a difference in tender, quality meats.

We had a great experience at Ari Steakhouse for a Saturday night Date Night. We were greeted immediately and seated without delay. Our server, Rory, was very busy due to some apparently unexpected circumstances. She was at our table to greet us and explain the issue very quickly, took our drink orders and got us underway for a very good meal. Our drinks were very tasty; Raspberry Wine, Peach Soju and a cocktail I cannot recall the name of. We had the Wagyu AYCE, and it was all phenomenal. We chose 6 meats in all, and were impressed with everything. The dipping sauces and sides provided were a great complement to the meal as well, and refills for each was provided when requested. We can’t wait to go back.

Really good place. I would highly recommend it. I took my parents for dinner and had their ribeye and vegetables. Ribeye was very tender. It was a full size steak. It was excellent. We took the hazelnut and cheese cake home. They were excellent too. The atmosphere is very nice. I am definitely going back.

We had a great meal and a fantastic time at ARI!! We will defiantly be back again!

Incredible service, great food, would dine here again

Calm surroundings, excellent food, will return

The service was some of the best we have have ever received. Food was good. Wish the portions were bigger for the price. Overall we would recommend

Too long for meat to come out. 30 min wait for each meat to come out. Ridiculous.

Owner doesn't care! Food is very average!
Against my better judgement after reading several reviews about the average food, I decided to give this place a try for Valentine's Day. We ordered the meal for two people which included dessert. We looked forward to that as they also advertise Cake house. The server cooked the meat at the table which was the most enjoyable part of the experience. The meat was very average and the meat had very little flavor. I could have gone through a drive thru at Captain D's and had better fish. There is nothing special about their food. We hoped the dessert was going to be better, but were disappointed when the server told us we had to go wait in line at the cake counter for our dessert. I told her you have to be kidding me. I asked if we could get our cake to go or send the manager over for us to discuss it. The server came back a few minutes later with 1 very small slice of cake to go I asked if there was another small slice since it was two of us and she said no, that is all you get. Wow, that was a surprise. On the way out, I asked for the manager and a young girl spoke for the older lady and said she is the owner. I explained we purchased a meal for two and received a small slice of a cake that was only enough for one. I looked at the owner when I said that. The owner looked at me, then looked away ignoring my comment. The young girl said that we only give a small dessert (as in a serving for one) for the dinner for two. I told the owner I would not be back. She ignored me again. She clearly doesn't care even after we dropped $150 at her restaurant.

Outstanding!

Great experience

Went with a friend, on our try a new restaurant girls night and was not disappointed. We did the wagyu all you can eat menu. Our waiter was very friendly and we had him recommend the items for us. We had the brisket, shrimp, pork belly, several different steaks. The side dishes were great as were the beef dumplings and potato cakes. So much food you need to come hungry. Stopped by the cake shop to take some treats home for our families.

This is the best Korean BBQ in Georgia. The food and service were outstanding. The decor is very modern and the whole experience was very impressive.
