Arisu - Dublin

Good food and good service. Did not do BBQ this time. Had bibimbap, Kimbap and wings. The fried rice was good. The pancake was meh. Everything was tasty and good portions.

The BBQ was tasty and the atmosphere was fun. The prices were excellent! Such a bargain.

I was hungry after touring the Jameson Distillery so I checked on Yelp to see what was nearby and was stoked to find a Korean restaurant within walking distance. Being Korean, I'm always craving bibimbap. The dolsot bibimbap here was fantastic! It's a rice bowl dish with your choice of meat that comes with veggies and an egg on top. The bowl is a hot stoneware bowl, so I suggest letting it sit and/or eating the top layer slowly, that way the rice on the bottom gets nice and crispy. I added some gochujang on the top (red pepper sauce) for an extra kick. It was warm, delicious, and exactly what I was craving. I also ordered japchae with beef (glass noodles and veggies) because it's another one of my fave Korean dishes and I was super hungry. I also knew I wouldn't finish it all, so I'd have leftovers for dinner later. Anyway, the japchae was simple and delicious. The beef was so good and the portion size was huge and a great deal for the price. The staff was very friendly and attentive and the food was amazing. Go here if you're looking for authentic Korean in Dublin!

Good seafood jjambbong (my husband argues it's one of the best) with a uniquely smokey undertone, like the food was put on a grill before it was thrown into the soup! Wherever I go, I'm pleasantly surprised to find that the traditional Bibimbap (mixed rice in a hot sizzling stone bowl) is just as it should be...comforting, familiar, and full of flavors. Good selection of banchan (side dishes), quick service, decent portions, and very reasonably priced! It was a great choice for our first dinner in Dublin.

I came here for dinner with a friend and had a seafood and soya soup dish which was quite spicy and hot, but really tasty and felt easy to digest as I find most spicy foods aren't. The place was pretty empty as we came a bit earlier than usual (around 6pm), so the service was very quick and efficient. We got a complementary seaweed salad (seemed like wakame in vinegar), kimchi and a small bowl of what tasted like miso soup which was nice. The soup dish I ordered came with a bowl of rice and costed me €10.90 which I think is very reasonable for a proper evening meal. It was steaming hot so I had to wait a while for it to cool down, but I can imagine this would be like heaven to eat in the winter when it's cold outside. The portions are big and the quality is good and fresh. My friend had udon noodle soup and she said it was really good too. The menu has a much smaller variety than it's competitor Kimchi on Parnell street, but they have the essentials of both Korean food as well as a Japanese dishes like teriyaki chicken, sushi and udon noodles. One nice thing that I noticed on their menu is that at the at back, there is a page telling customers that they are happy to cater for allergies and to inform them when ordering so they can properly advise you on what you can and can't eat. The atmosphere was pretty casual overall, like somewhere between restaurant and cafe, so it would make a great lunch or dinner spot. Overall, good quality reasonably priced Korean food in the centre of Dublin. Service: 4/5 Food:5/5 Price: 5/5 (especially when you consider the portions and quality) Atmosphere: 3/5
