Arirang Hibachi Steakhouse

I’ve been here twice before and it was fine, but tonight was horrible. We had a 6:30 res, were seated with two other parties who looked like they had already been waiting for a bit, and were still waiting for our food at 7:15. It was ridiculous. We sat there for 45 minutes waiting. They claimed our waitress was new but it really seemed like no one had a sense of urgency. Our initial waitress checked our orders TWICE, then our orders were checked a THIRD time by a different waitress. Still no food after the third order check. I ordered salad with ginger dressing and she clearly gave me the wrong dressing. I pointed it out and she insisted it was correct…it wasn’t. Then the chef finally came after about an hour of waiting and he was still doing his routine and trying to entertain us. I get that’s his usual routine but READ THE ROOM! we were all starving and so annoyed, he should have tried to just make the food as soon as possible. Then it takes another 20 minutes or so to get the check. The waitress asks if we want ice cream and clearly all of us just want to get out as soon as possible. It took until almost 9 pm for all of us to get our checks and leave… again, this was all so ridiculous. It made me feel insane lol. They didn’t offer us a discount, a free drink, barely even acknowledged the long wait and horrible service. I’ll probably never come back again.

We had a great time for my birthday as we always do. Thanks to the hosts and staff for everything

Service was so so. Food was decent. I liked the ambience. It's not upscale. Our chef was entertaining.
