Best WLM Reviews

Very beautiful Korean BBQ. The price is worth the experience. The ambiance was very modern and elegant. I enjoyed the kpop on the projector.
The food was fresh and full of flavor and it was cooked directly in front of us by our server. The drinks were mature and complimented the meal.
The bathroom was beautiful and clean, so clean you could possibly eat in there also. I would definitely return. My only regret is that I did not try anything from the cake shop.

???? Don’t expect good quality Wagyu here
???? The whole experience is a 3.5/5. It is Good for Halal, their seasoning and side dishes was yummy. I couldn’t tell the difference between regular KKBQ vs Wagyu KKBQ. Our Wagyu didn’t have much marble but the Galbi meat tasted good.
I’m looking to find the best Wagyu AYCE spot and sadly this place is not it. Expect to spend almost $100 per person here. We came on a busy Saturday night and the service was slow, I didn’t mind grilling some of the meat since the staff was busy. I hope they hired more people soon.
I do like their sides, my favorite was the japchae and the bao buns. The Kimchi was also pretty good and flavorful. They offer 19 different sides and 24 different type of Protein for the AYCE Wagyu. Chicken and shrimp is available.
I did not like the 90 minutes limit vs 2 hours compare to other KKBQ. Ari is VERY strict on the timing so make sure you eat fast. Because the service was slow that also cut down on the timing for Us to fully enjoy the $75 (22% gratuity) experience. You can only order 2 proteins and 2 sides once you done with your food. The Wagyu meat did not taste better than my fav Korean BBQ Spot.
If you want to come here I would try the Halal Ari regular pricing. My Muslim friends said there not much of a difference, only the Bulgogi was better. My BF and I agreed we won’t come back. Only bc there is better KKBQ in Georgia for more affordable pricing and longer time to eat.
Excellent kBBQ joint with a great atmosphere and even better service. Our server, Chonny, was very attentive. Good options including two all you can eat options. Expect to spend 30 to 60 dollars depending on your choice.
We went to Ari on a whim. We were hungry and didn’t know what to eat but saw this nearby and decided to try it. The food, the service and the atmosphere were phenomenal. I can’t believe it took us so long to go there. We tried different types of meat and all of them were delicious to the core. Even the server was friendly and professional.
We spent $150 for lunch; way too pricey for our regular meals but it’s worth splurging on quality food once in a while.
Got the wagyu ayce on a slow Saturday early evening. Server was nice and informative. Banchan was good. Corn cheese tasted like it came out of the can and you can taste that it was off. Vegetable pancake was nice but definitely needed to be on the pan for a bit longer as it just fell apart and a bit undercooked. Mandu was ok... definitely from the freezer. Ramen and buldak was good, but then again it's hard to mess up something that comes prepacked lol. Egg souffle was very mid. Chicken wings were a big oversauced, but well fried. So now it's the meat. First few servings were solid. Then they tried swapping out the meat to a lower quality meat for my last order. This didn't sit well with me. There was gristle and it was tough compared to my first couple orders. Even as I was cooking it I noticed that the marbeling was different and less quality. Just don't get cheat like I did.
I have a few things to share that are highlighted....
The macaroons you can buy at the front cake/sweets shop are amazing. They are beautiful and delicious. Super fluffy!
The service is amazing! Our server was so great. Helped with selections. Brought us smaller portions of things so that we could try more. Helped with the cooking. Brought all the sides. Just was excellent.
We tried the higher all you can eat and tried so many sides....salad, Kim chi, cheese corn, fried dumplings. KFC, Kim chi fried rice, rice cakes....all were excellent. We also tried the pork belly, the spicy shrimp, the waygu short ribs and brisket. All the meats were excellent.
This was one of my favorite Korean BBQ places! We also did not leave smelling like a BBQ. Their ventilation was great!
We loved the waygu menu option. The thin brisket and beef bulgogi were the best for us. The fried rice cakes were the best I have had in a while, so were the dumplings. The added sauces/ wine salt were some of the vest additions to our meals, the jalapeño being our favorite. The waitress was fantastic and kept our food rolling couldn't have had a better expirence!
This place is definitely fun and upbeat. The food is fresh and a great value for the price. Theres plenty of parking and the restrooms are clean. It’s a nice place to have a small gathering with hungry friends and family. The rice cake things are SO GOOD!!!
