Atlanta BBQ Review｜Ari Korean Steakhouse – Not the Same Anymore 😔

It’s been a year since my last visit to Ari Korean Steakhouse. Last time, the BBQ was great — beef was tender, seafood pancake was tasty. But tonight? A totally different experience.😒 We ordered Combo A: 차돌박이 (Beef slices) – okay, but we were hungry so anything tasted fine. NY Strip – tough and chewy, not the quality I expected. Garlic Butter Shrimp – barely any garlic flavor, overly sour from lemon squeeze.❤️ Gochujang Pork Belly – frozen thin slices with a weird sweet-bitter sauce. Hard to tell if it was fully cooked, and the grill turned black. 🥲 The fried rice was rock-hard (more like scorched rice crust), and the ramen was just plain Shin Ramyun. Atmosphere is still nice — less smoky and noisy than typical Korean BBQ spots, plus they have a bar and dessert area. But the food quality has clearly dropped. For $100 for two (including tip), it wasn’t worth it.😍 Maybe other combos or the AYCE option are better? If you try them, let me know in the comments. 📍 Ari Korean Steakhouse 9700 Medlock Bridge Rd, Unit 112, Johns Creek, GA 30097 #AtlantaEats #KoreanBBQ #AriSteakhouse #FoodReview #NotRecommended #JohnsCreekEats #BBQFail #ATLFoodScene #DisappointingMeal #SaveYourMoney #TryOtherSpots
