Ariari | The Heavenly Busan Cuisine That's Super Hard to Book 🌟

🫕 Ariari 📍 119 1st Ave., New York, NY 10003 Average Cost: 💲70 (tax + tip) Ambiance: 4.5/5 Service: 4/5 Food: 4.8/5 Value for Money: 4.5/5 I bet no one would argue that Ariari is the king of Busan cuisine in New York. It’s incredibly hard to get a reservation—seats get snapped up the moment they’re released. But let me share a little secret: keep an eye out for same-day cancellations. That’s exactly what I did! I scored a dinner reservation at 3 p.m. for the same day and rushed right over. I was over the moon! 🌕🎉 🔸 Dishes: 🐚 Scallop DIY Gimbap – $26💰 Fresh scallops + nori + rice + kimchi This DIY scallop gimbap station is so much fun! The scallops are super fresh. You place them on a sheet of nori, add a small scoop of rice, and a pinch of kimchi to cut through the richness. A touch of mayo enhances the flavor. Each bite is a delightful mix of textures—crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It’s both playful and delicious. #NewYork #BusanCuisine #FoodieHeaven 🍣🌟
