This small restaurant doesn't look much, but boy does it have great food! Arirang offers authentic Korean at a cheap price. On a past occasion we've had a substantial feast here for no more than $20 each, not forgetting the free condiments that come with every meal. I personally like the value for money at Arirang, and apart from the fantastic food, this was one of the many reasons I returned.
The service is friendly and efficient, and the meals are non-greasy and well presented. With many Koreans eating here regularly, you know it has to be great!
The various condiments are served first, just before the first course arrives.
Not sure what this was, but it seemed like raw potato marinated in a type of mild chilli sauce (similar to kimchi)
Dipping sauce to accompany the dumplings.
Kimchi!! A Korean staple.
Sliced fishcake. I could eat this everyday without complaint.
Radish.
Fried pork and vegetable dumpling - 6 pieces

Beef Bulgogi - Korean sizzling BBQ beef in a special sauce

Fresh, fabulous and non-greasy!
The pieces of cabbage were cooked perfectly.
Jabche (Japchae) - Stir fried potato noodles with vegetables and beef

I've always wanted to try authentic Japchae, and I can assure you, this was everything I hoped it would be.
