Arirang — Restaurant in New York

The lady at the front desk was calling a customer who seemed to be complaining and she was speaking to him rudely and saying he cant talk to the manager either. I asked for the 오댕 topping on their menu and the lady got annoyed at me saying they don’t sell that. She was very rude so I felt bad and said sorry and asked for the dumpling topping that was a few pieces on top of the noodles and pointed to it on the menu too. She didn’t even look at me and say okay but yelled towards the kitchen my menu. When my order arrived they gave me the dumplings as a whole dish that comes out as twice the number of pieces so it was twice as expensive. I double checked the price on the menu, because I didn’t want to confront them and be wrong but the dumpling topping was much cheaper. I was confused and asked why it was more expensive than on the menu and they snapped at me asking if i even read the menu. The food is not bad but their some of their clams have sand in it. I am generally very nice and felt pretty upset they took their anger out on me. All of it felt very...

Homey, authentic, and comforting - that's the vibe you get when visiting Arirang, a Korean restaurant in Flushing. They specialize in noodles and give large generous portions. During our most recent visit, we ordered long seafood noodles (kalguksu) and nutritious chicken porridge. The side dishes are radish and kimchi!

Their noodles are fresh, flavorful, and hearty - cooked to the right texture with a slight chew. Inside the bowl of kalguksu, there's a whole bunch of clams, some shrimp, fresh vegetables, and potatoes. The broth is rich, peppery, umami-based, and deeply comforting.

Their porridges are nutritious, healthy, and filling. The nutrition chicken porridge we ordered had a whole bunch of rice, chicken, carrots, a whole egg, red dates, and scallions.

Everything is homemade and healthy. Definitely Asian mom approved!

What we ordered: $19 Seafood noodles (kalguksu) $19 Nutrition chicken porridge

I came here with two friends on a Sunday afternoon. It wasn't too busy - we were seated immediately. It's not a huge restaurant but very spacious and looked clean. Street parking available!

The waitress speaks both Chinese and Korean - thankfully my Korean friend ordered so I'm not even sure if they speak English. I ordered the Kimchi seafood noodles and my friends got the regular seafood noodles. All three bowls came with a lot of mussels but had one shrimp... I like mussels but I like other types of seafood too... so is it really a seafood noodle soup? Not really. It was yummy though! I liked the kimchi taste, not too overbearing either. The noodles were a little soggy though, disappointing. They offered kimchi as a side dish, free refills! The check came out to around $15 per person with tips, not too expensive for the big bowl, but there are...
