Arirang Hibachi Steakhouse Staten Island

Great place to have dinner! I ordered the scallops and chicken--delicious. I absolutely loved that they used extra garlic to the fried rice, if made it extra flavorful. The vibe is very energetic and our hibachi chef made our experience even more fun. They also do something special for birthdays, that being said though, don't tell them it's your birthday if your shy because you'll be embarrassed. They turn off the lights and have a mini light show if you will. It's super fun. Try it.

I finally went to this restaurant after moving into the area six years ago. I was hesitant because of what I saw leaving and entering this place. I made reservations, which was very easy to do. I went for my birthday, with my wife. We were immediately seated and offered refreshments, with the menus. We were the only customers in the restaurant at the time of being seated. We ordered soup , salad, and hibachi steak and fried rice. After another family was seated at our table they took our orders and the show started. The food was at the right temp. and it was fresh. The staff was on point with our needs and half fill glass of tea was a empty glass of tea. The food was very fresh the vegetables were crisp and fresh. The meal went without a hitch. The staff made sure all the children were entertained. We even had desert which was a rarity for us. We enjoyed our meal.

Family oriented restaurant and yes there seems to be 2 types of seating.1. General seating for regular meals not Hibachi.2. Hibachi cooking where the chefs cook in front of you.Other notes:a. Please specify if you have a food allergy so they can good your meal separately.*b. Some chefs need to learn how to steak properly. Such as if someone wants a rare vs medium well steak.c. If you don’t want something please tell them. (You need to speak louder as there are other background noises. (This location doesn’t have proper seating for a baby less then 18 months

The waiter John was the best changed my whole experience !!! Came on a Saturday busy night and our original waiter barely came around , food took longer than expected. John was the only one making sure we were okay and had what we needed but also gave us extremities such as ice cream that came with with our food. He did everything with a smile and had unbelievable customer service skills.

Where do I begin…First time here, experience was horrible as soon as we sat down.Our waiter was discombobulated, forgetful and sloppy. Our table was shaky, we asked for him to fix it 2 times, we ordered beers that came in bottle and I asked for glasses 2 times. 30 min pass by, he walked over to us 2 times in meantime and didn’t address either of the requests. Eventually when the beers were already done he came over and asked if we wanted glasses.Moving on, he brought a coconut shrimp appetizer, which was not what we ordered. We ordered coconut shrimp roll. But that’s not even the worst of it, when he brought it over slightly out of breath he had a long, icicle like snot hanging from his nose.When the correct order of coconut shrimp roll was brought, it was clearly stale. You can see that the shrimp was 1 or 2 days old. It was rancid.He proceeded to bring the next order which was also wrong. When ordering one of the rolls there was substitution request of fresh salmon instead of smoked salmon, which was disregarded.Following that, he brought crispy tuna rice appetizer that consisted of 5 pieces, when putting plate down on table, he dropped one of the pieces of the table. He apologized but did not rectify or attempt to clean it up.To sum up, the rolls were horrible the seaweed they wrap the rolls in is very chewy and almost stale. It was impossible to swallow.The food left much to be desired. My family ordered hibachi dinner steak and lobster. Steak was very chewy and tasteless. It is definitely not worth the price.Empty plates of food were not once removed from table throughout our dinner.Experience was so bad that even their coke was on its last breath with 3 bubbles per glass.I was really looking forward to the experience and food; really wanted to like this one as it is only few minutes away from our home. But we will not be back.
