Arirang in City of London, Westminster

I wanted to eat Korean food in London, so I looked for it and went there. Everyone was friendly, all the side dishes were delicious, and I really enjoyed it! :) Recommended 👍

We had a great meal here. The food was very delicious and the service was also very nice. I'll definitely be coming back.

I was alone and they asked me to share a table with someone else who was also eating alone, since the restaurant was not full.

Average at best. Bulgogi was my fav. Tempura was doughy, kimchi pancake were salty and dumplings were ok.

I found the experience here quite average and to be nothing out of this world. We had a reservation and they made us wait quite a while for our table. My friends enjoyed their meat but did complain of the extra costs of the little appetisers . As a someone with dietary restrictions it was rather hard to eat here and virtually no options. There’s a secret mushroom option for the grill but it was rather underwhelming and odd it wasn’t on the menu. The restaurant is also a little rundown.

Nice korean food Nice staff Totally recommend here!

No free small appetizers anymore, The kimchi soup and kimchi pancake are really salty. The beef rib with thin glass noodles have really small portion, only two piece of beef rib and a few string of glass noodles that you can barely find it! Pricey and not worth it!

Reminds me of the taste of real Korean food. Good taste and nice staff.

It’s really friendly and delicious~ When you travel, you want to eat Korean food. Stop by and try it~ The owner is friendly and the atmosphere of the store is nice and I like it. If I get a chance, I want to stop by again~ I recommend it

Love the food the kimchi is delicious We order e the tofu soup and beef bulgogi and the bib I'm bab everything was delicious

Good Korean restaurant that has naengmyeon unlike many others

Such a great and authentic lunch! And very nice and helpful server, she haloed me with vegetarian version of a traditional Korean dish. will come back

Incredible service and the most amazing food I’ve had in London in a long time. speedy with delivery of food, staff were unbelievably attentive. Such a great atmosphere, will 100% be back again. Thank you so much!

Japchae is better than what my mom made...

The flavors of the food are generally not too strong or overpowering, and the dishes are well-balanced. It’s definitely one of the best Korean restaurants in London, with the owner’s philosophy shining through as he has proudly upheld the tradition of Korean cuisine in the heart of London for 32 years. If you're craving pork belly or bulgogi with a glass of soju and beer (somac), this is the place to be. I also recommend trying the bibimbap, japchae, and cold noodles. The flavors are truly authentic.

The most satisfying Korean restaurant I had in London. Unlike those restaurants that just imitate or just create an atmosphere, the food is prepared with the same sincerity as what you get in Korea^^ I couldn't take a picture because I ate it so deliciously.

We had excellent dinner at Arirang. Kind staff, excellent service, authentic Korean food, reasonable price. Highly recommended 👍👍👍.

The best restaurant in London. The flavor brings you back to Korea in one second. The service is kind and friendly. The place is very clean and tidy. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Very nice restaurant with food food.

Popped in for some Kimchi and bibimbap and was very impressed. Really lovely family owned restaurant. Definitely worth a visit!

Great location just off Oxford Street and not too busy if you go for an early lunch, even at the weekend. We had the Korean fried chicken and the beef bibimbap (hot stone bowl option) to share, with a bottle of soju. All very tasty and well sized portions - we did not feel we needed to order more. Value was very good considering the location. Staff were friendly and easy to catch an eye. Each table has a grill in the middle should you want to go for any of the barbeque options; the only downside of this is that there is little leg space underneath the tables due to the oven electrics being encased underneath - but this didn't take away from the overall excellent experience.

I stopped by because I really missed Korean food during my trip to London! The Korean owner and staff are very friendly and the food is just as delicious as it is in Korea! As a service, they provided us with more delicious side dishes, and I was especially grateful that they gave us a bowl of rice since they added rice 🥹 They also gave us watermelon for dessert, so we had a hearty meal 😎 I highly recommend it when you miss Korean food (I didn't get a good picture because I ate it in a hurry 🥲)

Indian waiter was very kind and food was good as well. I'll definitely back soon

Nice people, great service, and perfect FOOD !!

BBQ best and assorted vegBibimbap best

The cook must have had a bad day at work. I have eaten at Arirang many times over the past 10-15 years. Food has always been good. But tonight the Galbi Tang they served tasted strange and smelt off. I could tell from the colour of the soup that something was not right. It was immensely salty so i sent it back. The waiter obliged and was apologetic and served a new galbi tang but the meat was chewy and the soup still salty. First time I have ever had a bad meal at this restaurant. I think they need to check what the cook is doing when making galbi tang. I barely ate the new galbi tang they brought out.

Delicious food! Would recommend!

Quick and friendly service. Good tasting beef all round. It's good if you want a quick but good Korean BBQ. Beef bulgogi and beef kalbi (short ribs) were particularly good. Kimchi tofu soup was toooo sour in my opinion but some of my friends preferred it. 7.7/10

I had a very delicious meal. Jjajangmyeon and soft tofu were delicious, but the beef bibimbap was especially delicious. Next time, I will have to go back to try Yukhoe Bibimbap. And the owner was so kind! You provided watermelon for dessert, and since the child ate it well, you gave it to me again. Thank you so much. I'll go again next time!

Very good yukhoe bibimbap, bossam, and naengmyeom. But man they cannot make their stews right. I just visited again and their soondubu jjigae and kimchi jjigae were both extremely underseasoned and the frozen seafood mix they used smelled very old. Come here for bbq or one of their specialty items. AVOID their stews.

Decent Korean bbq, good service , food came out fast ,

Very authenic korean food. nothing to complain

What a great place to eat. Lovely authentic food served and cooked on the table in front of you. Great location in a nice area of town. Would recommend to anyone visiting London

Tasty food and great staff, had lovely dinner and will be back again soon.

This was the best Korean restaurant I’ve ever been to! The food was so fresh and flavourful and the staff were lovely! Definitely coming back and would highly recommend to everyone! :)

Had this for the first time with some friends last night. The food was sublime and the service was attentive and quick. Couldn’t recommend this more.

I had kimchi stew and stone pot bibimbap and it was delicious and not much different from what I eat in Korea!

This is a restaurant I found in London. Kimchi stew, soft tofu stew, and beef bulgogi were delicious. I was hungry for Korean food, but I went in and ate it well. My 6th grade daughter ate half a bowl of kimchi stew because it was so delicious. We visited in the evening and the only Koreans in our family were foreigners, but they gave us extra side dishes because we were Korean. Thanks to you, I had a pleasant dinner.

I was a bit disappointed by the famous restaurants in London. Yesterday, I happened to be looking for a restaurant near my hotel. Very friendly, especially the food doesn't taste like seasoning. It was so, so delicious that I came here for dinner two nights in a row. We really need to spread this delicious Korean food in London. Even if I didn't know, if I was a little late, there would be no seats. Still, I hope all travelers like me who visit London know this.

Korean Restaurant in London. Delicious 👍

The best restaurant in London! It's different from other London restaurants that only imitate. Even compared to Korea, this restaurant is great :) Not a waste of money!!

Best Korean Soups and BBQ I had on Oxford Street!

the best Korean restaurant in London !! There are nice staffs even if the dish is perfect I think. I really want to be there again.

It was so dirty. everything. And the old man who worked at the till was talking about all of customers in Korean. I could understand what he said and it was really disgusting and he was so rude.

Real Authentic Korean food not fusion. The side dishes, appetizers, and main dishes all tasted Korean and delicious. The music was good and had Korean songs. I went as a walk-in and was quickly shown to my seat. The servers were also friendly. I would like to introduce it to my foreign friends as well. 😃

Best Korean Restaurant! Especially the Budae Jjigae Kkanpunggi BBQ is delicious. The part-time workers are also friendly. One thing that is disappointing is that it is a bit expensive.

My friend and I had a lunch there 2 weeks ago and were seated in the spacious table. The waiting staff offered a very friendly service and the lunch set was good vaule for money. The food was tasty as well.

The amount of food that you get for the set menus are huge, all of the different dishes were amazing. Easy to use service to order the food directly to the table.

Really enjoyed this authentic restaurant.

Delightful cuisine! The beef and chicken barbecue here in London surpasses any I've sampled before—succulent and flavorful. Highly recommend it to anyone eager to experience top-notch Korean barbecue.

Food was excellent soup amazing

Our favourite Korean Restaurant in London We have been coming to this establishment for the past 10+ years and each time the food, service and atmosphere is always on point. The managers really care and you can see the effort they put to ensure each and every dish arrives at their expectation. We highly recommend the seafood pancake and chapchae (glass noodles), soup and of course the Korean BBQ - Short ribs being our favourite. I would recommend for families, dates and at the rear / lower level they have space to host larger groups for a unique experience. There is a reason Arirang has remained here despite the growing number of Korean restaurants in the area, a must try if you visit London.

Nous sommes tombé par hasard sur ce restaurant, et que dire…. Commençons par l'accueil, qui est très bien, le serveur nous a directement trouvé une table, il y a des option Halal dans le menu. Nous avons pris un barbecue coréen, plus du poulet avec du fromage râpé. Nous avons était déçu de la quantité de viande, on avait a peu près 300g de viande pour 2 personnes, mais elle était très bonne, il avait des accompagnement qui était pas mal, j'ai vue aussi une des serveuse du restaurant nous regarder très mal…, on était vraiment mal à l'aise, et faite attention nous avons eu 13% de commission dans la facture, donc faites vraiment attention.

Very warm atmosphere and great food for a cold winter night!

Sehr leckeres Essen und schnelle, freundliche Bedienung, alles Prima

Ristorante tipicamente coreano con menù di carne e verdure molto vasto. Consiglio lo JAJANG MEN (noodles con manzo, verdure e gustosissima crema di fagioli neri) e ovviamente il BBQ è buono tutto. Grande cordialità delle cameriere e servizio al tavolo perfetto. Ogni volta che torno a Londra, anche a distanza di anni, ci torno sempre e non delude mai.

The food portion was a joke! The picture below was a £44.99 worth of BBQ meat platter, which can hardly cover a medium plate. We were shocked by the portion, and loads of smoke during the BBQ process. Starter not even served after the BBQ was finished. This place is a complete scam please do not go.

My mother and I had a great time at Arirang, the food was incredible and it took me back to being in Seoul. Don’t hesitate to go! Thank you!

Among the best Korean food that we've had in a long time. Fast service, good food.

쇼핑중 지나가다 우연히 본 한식당이였습니다. 한국인에게 한식 놓칠 수 없어 들어왔다가 맛집을 발견했어요 ㅠㅠ 사장님은 물론 직원분들도 다 유쾌 친절하시고 음식맛은 말할것도 없이 너무 맛있습니다. 또 런던에 방문한다면 무조건 들릴 맛집입니당. 완전 추천!!!

식당 내부가 깨끗하고 음식도 너무 맛있어요!! 양이 많아서 둘 이서 2메뉴 시켜서 남겼어요 강추입니당!!

Meat was well marinated and portion was value for money:)

The bulgogi was excellently prepared at our table and served with some of the best kimchi we have had, the sliced garlic was likewise very good

간만에 한국에서 방문한 가족들 모시고 구경간 런던 시내에서 맘 편히 식사했던 한식당. 서빙하시는 한국 남자분 되게 친절하시고, 종류별로 주문한 bbq도 직접 다 구워 주셔서 영국 놀러오신 가족분들께 잘 대접한 기분이 들어 더 감사했습니다…^^* (한국도 요즘 불친절하고 턱없이 비싼 식당 많아서 식당가기 싫다고 하는데… 여기가 한국보다 더 친절하다고 하시네요~~) 특히 양념 치킨은 뉴몰든 닭집보다 훨씬 싸고 더 맛있었음! Bbq 너무 많이 먹고 양념 치킨 남아서 집에 포장해 왔는데, 다음 날 식은 치킨 그냥 먹어도 맛있어서 더 놀람!!! (강추) 추운 늦 가을에 수박이 후식으로 나와 쫌 신기했음!!!

The food was superbly tasty! Kimchi is a must! I very much love the Kimchi soup, too! It was the best one I have ever had in ages. Very generous and friendly staff! The quality of the food is excellent, and the price is affordable.

Wow the kalbi is delicious and they cook for you. The tongue is a bit chewy. And no free side dishes which is odd for a Korean restaurant. You will smell like kbbq, as there are no vents.

Amazing, got an recommendation from a local and it was amazing. Super tasty and very friendly staff. Would recommend

Authentic tasty food! Highly recommended. Was really hard to find fine korean restaurant. Love it!

갈비탕 국물이 순대국밥 국물 맛이 남! 생각한 갈비탕 맛은 아니였지만 순대국밥맛? 오히려좋아 밑반찬도 주시고 후식도 주심! 밑반찬 존맛 ㅜ 근데 국물류 시킬 때 밥 따로 +£3.00 해야되는게 쫌 아쉬웠음 비싸게 느껴짐 ㅜ 포함이였으면 더 좋았을듯!

recently came here for a bday meal with friends and the staff were really friendly and attentive! the bbq meat is good quality and delicious, so are other dishes such a Kimchi pancake and vegetable sides. the vibe is quite homey and quiet which is great for an intimate meal with friends n family as a hard to please foodie this place definitely checks all the boxes and ill be coming back again

Amazing staff, super friendly and wonderful service. The food was delicious I just wish we had been able to do the KBBQ ourselves so we could’ve kept the 삼겹살 hotter and crispier! Absolutely loved it though. 정말 감사합니다 아리랑식당!

Amazing food. Service very bad so don’t come here for a date night, come for a feast

미국사는데 친지 방문차 런던 지금까지 4차례 방문 했는데 매 올때마다 최소 2번 이상 일부러 들려 점심이나 저녁식사를 꼭 함. 이런 한식 맛집이 런던에 있어 깜짝 놀랐음. 밋반찬(김치, 오이무침,숙주나물) 다 맛있고, 고기구이 맛있고 (차돌배기추천 생갈비는없고 양념갈비있음) 탕종류도 (육개장, 갈비탕, 우거지 갈비탕) 맛이 정말 훌륭했음. 한인이 더많이사는 내가사는 미국 대도시(미중서부)에도 이정도 퀄리티 한식당 없음. 주말 예약 안하면 기다려야함 (런던 쇼핑/관광지에 위치함). 외국손님 많음. 반찬과 밥 따로 차지 유념하시고. 그러나 충분한 값어치 있다고 생각 함. 처음본 사장님 사모님 너무 너무 친절, 멀리서 왔다고 공짜반찬들 챙겨줌. 열무김치맛도 정말 최상. 미국돌아가서도 생각 날 식당. 다음번 또 런던오면 다시 꼭 또 방문 할 식당. (참고로 런던 서버브 한인타운 H마트 (런던시내에서 기차타고 한 1시간) 부근 제법 알려진것 같은 한식당에서 식사 해봄. 그러나 아리랑과 비교 않됨). 런던 옥스포드서커스역 부근 아리랑 아주 바빠 기분 좋았고 (같은 동포의 마음으로) 계속 대박 나세요.

Decent Korean restaurant in the heart of Soho! Enjoyed my dinner there and the taste of my cold noodles, although the sliced beef in there was just very tough and over cooked, but the broth was nice and the noodles had great chewiness. The tteokbokki were flavourful and a bit too spicy for me but I know it was fine for my friends! The fried chicken was a bit over cooked to me, the flavour was there but the texture just wasn’t the best I’ve had. And then kimchi pancakes was good when you picked the side bits that were crispy, but the middle ones were a bit too thick in my opinion.

It use to be really good , really went downhill now

잡채 and 돌비 is my favourite!!!😍😍I’ve been here for years, Arirang is always my primary choice for Korean food👍🥰

Dining at Arirang restaurant was a great experience from start to finish. I was impressed by the warm invitation of the staff. The staff here were really nice but won’t get full 5 stars for the service as they let me sit and order online with no conversation or asking if everything was ok, etc. Every dish I tried was a perfect taste and quantity. The flavors were both authentic and exquisite, a true testament to the skill of the chefs. Beautifully presented, the Korean barbecue offered a unique and interactive evening. The variety of options on the menu ensured that there was something for everyone, from vegetarians to meat lovers. The attention to detail in each dish was evident, and the quality of ingredients was top-notch. It’s an ideal place for a day time meal, a gathering with friends, or a special celebration, but not really a romantic place. The restaurant’s decor and lighting was a bit dated but still clean and functional. I would definitely return and savor more of the foods here, especially the spicy mushrooms, yum!.

불고기랑 순두부찌개 먹었는데 너무 맛있고, 사장님도 정말 친절하세요!!! 반찬도 서비스로 주셔서 넘 맛있게 먹었습니다 ㅠㅠ!!!🩵 영국에서 진짜 한국맛내기 어려울 것 같은데 한국에서 먹는 한식맛이예요!! 넘 추천드립니다~~~

음식이 런던의 다른 한식집과는 다르게 한식 본연의 맛을 잘 살렸고 무엇보다 너무 친절하시고 서비스도 최고에요~

런던에서 한국의 맛을 느끼려고 한국식당 가는거잖아요~ 바로 여기라고 생각합니다~ 근처에 한국식당들 좀 있지만, 다른데랑 비교가 안됩니다- 한국에서 먹어도 평균이상인 듯요-! 잘 먹었습니다 사장님~!

출장때마다 들르는 곳~ 런던 시내 한국 식당중에 단연 최고입니다 한국음식 생각날때는 무조건 아리랑! 푸짐하고 맛있어요 간이 세지 않아서 더 좋습니다

Great place for Korean BBQ and Korean food. It is a self service restaurant where you’d order by scanning the QR code on the allocated table. Once ordered, they will serve the food and cook your BBQ for you. Service is good.

써비스, 분위기 좋고 무엇보다 음식맛이 한국이랑 똑같이 맛있네요..... 강력 추천합니다..

Amazing place for Korean food. Authentic and well priced

This place had such a homely feel! The servers were warm and welcoming. They even gave us some complimentary banchan!! I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Very authentic Korean food with great value for money.

First time at this restaurant, great food fantastic staff, good atmosphere, reasonably priced, would definitely go again. Highly recommended.

Yummy chicken and rice! Best Korean in london.

We ordered the set menu which is supposed to come with mixed appetizers, assorted mains, fruit etc. None of the appetizers came and when I asked about it he said it was not part of the set menu, even though it was clearly stated. He also did not bring out the fruit. He ended up bringing both out after I asked but we had already finished the main meal. When we asked for water he brought us the half-drunk water bottle from the table next to us which felt a bit wrong. The fried chicken and beef bulgogi which came as part of the set meal were both tasty, but because 6 of the items from the set meal were missing I would not go back.

It's been there forever, but serves below average food, and they never answer the phone. And no up to date printed menu,

We found a long hair in the rice and we were told you can cancel this order. Or order a new one. No apology from the manager. He couldn’t be bothered and poor customer service.

Vi var her for en bursdagsfeiring.De var raske med maten, men litt forstyrrende at kelneren henger over deg for å steke maten slik at du føler at du spiser inne i armhulen hans.Etter måltidet måtte to i følget gå, da begynte kelnerne å dekke av noe vi fant veldig forstyrrende. Vi spurte om de trengte bordet, det gjorde de ikke sa de.Vi likte ikke deres overivrige oppmerksomhet mot bordet vårt, de tok av glass som ikke var tomme og spurte om vi skulle ha mer av maten. Nei, vi fant ingen matro her dessverre.

I went with my bf and was one of the best choice we made!The food was delicious and the service was amazing, our waitress Lee was the cutest, she raccomanded us a lot of tasty plate and give us a compliment too. 5 star are not enough for this restaurant!I will definitely come back.

Es una pena darle a este restaurante solo 5 estrellas. ¡Le daría 10 a este lugar si es posible! ! ! ¡Qué gran elección para cenar! ! ! ¡No recuerdo que toda mi vida haya tenido más comida coreana mejor, deliciosa y fresca! ! ! Todo el lugar estaba muy limpio, los procedimientos de Covid perfectamente en el lugar y todo el ambiente allí era tan agradable, acogedor y relajante. Sus baños olían y daban la impresión de que era un lugar de spa, nunca vi algo así. Teníamos entrantes, platos principales y al final obtuvimos la sorpresa de un melón realmente refrescante como postre. Precios: increíbles, realmente baratos. Toda nuestra comida era súper fresca y deliciosa. ¡Definitelly regresando! ! !

Fui a almorzar la semana pasada y pedí una barbacoa y sopa de frijoles. ¡Estaban deliciosos! El restaurante estaba muy limpio con partición de prevención de covid. El camarero fue muy atento, amable y cortés. Aunque un poco caro para el tamaño de las porciones, recomendaría este restaurante.

I was here for an early dinner and ordered the ginseng chicken in soup. It's a classic Korean dish and Arirang did a good job with its version. Service was attentive and friendly. It's a good option for Korean good in the oxford st area.

Food tastes horrible. And the staffs are rude too. This is the worst experience I have ever had. Won’t recommend anyone to go to this restaurant.

Had a nice meal here one evening recently. The restaurant is quite small and cosy, with friendly staff. The food itself was well presented, very tasty. I particularly liked the complimentary fruit at the end of the meal.

I ate here recently with a friend on a Saturday evening. The restaurant was quite busy but the service was nonetheless friendly and efficient. There's a wide range of Korean dishes on the menu, and the food is very good quality, although the drinks prices are a bit high. This wasn't my first visit and I'm sure that I'll be going back.

Excellent good Good ambience Service was nice food fresh n yummy We at beef Chicken barbeque in chillie sauce Spicy pork

Mi comida favorita es la coreana y una de las pocas cosas que siempre pruebo es la especialidad de la casa "kimchi", no me decepcionó en este restaurante. Pedí carne de vaca dol bibimbap y sogogi dup bap y ambos platos estaban deliciosos y también probé el tradicional sikhye (bebida de arroz dulce) y fue absolutamente refrescante. En general, este lugar está lleno de verdaderos sabores coreanos.
