Arirang restaurant

Love their food. One of the best Korean food I have in a while. Highly recommend their cold noodles, it’s better than anywhere else i have tried. The view overlooking the harbor is lovely. They also have many VIP rooms which can be perfect for groups.

Another spot I would definitely recommend if you’re looking to eat some authentic (and I do mean authentic) Korean flavors in Sài Gòn. It’s located inside Bình Minh building on the first floor and motorbike parking is right outside. The interior decor is cute with individual booths in the common areas as well as private rooms if your group needs your own space. The food was GOOD albeit a bit pricey (but reasonable compared to other authentic non-Vietnamese joints in the city). We got the 골뱅이무침, 삼겹살, and 차돌된장찌개; the portions were more than for two people and very tasty. I would definitely recommend coming to try some great Korean cuisine here.

We were looking for Korean food in this area and found Arirang has good reviews from lots of customers. We had our dinner and were surprised with the food served. There were varieties of side dishes served. The portion of the food that we ordered is quite big too.

This place is on the second floor. Solid Korean restaurant. My favorite is the bulgogi soup, tastes just like the ones I have in Seoul. The pancakes could be crispier. We tried the pork belly and that was okay. Really good service. The lady working there was very pleasant and helpful.

Decent Korean spot with room for improvement Tried out Ariang in District 1 – overall, it was a decent experience. The restaurant is run by Koreans, so you do get that authentic Korean vibe, especially in the decor. They also have private VIP rooms, which is a nice touch. Food-wise, it’s okay – similar pricing to other Korean BBQ places in the area (around 300–400k VND per person if you go in a group of 6–8). Flavors were fine, but nothing really stood out. One small letdown was the banchan – they didn’t refill unless you asked, which felt a bit passive for a Korean BBQ place. Service was friendly though – staff were sweet and helpful. One thing that could definitely be improved is the ventilation between rooms. The partitions aren’t sealed well, so if someone’s grilling in the next room, you’ll probably get a bit of smoke. Overall: a good place if you’re looking for a Korean BBQ dinner with friends or colleagues, but there’s room to improve in both service flow and setup. 7.5/10
