Arisu Korean BBQ: Premium Korean Barbeque Experience in Buena Park

The food was good! I had a Small Combo that comes with brisket, pork belly, and pork jowl as well as a choice of soup and two bowls of rice. All the side dishes were great! I liked that they grilled barbeque while giving us enough time to enjoy the food and conversation. The Napa cabbage pancakes that came with the combo was great as well! Make sure to try it with the dipping sauce.

Walking into Arisu felt like stepping into Seoul — not the touristy parts, but the places locals keep to themselves. On a busy afternoon, I was one of the few non-Korean diners in the room, which to me is always a sign that the food is the real deal. The banchan is fresh and plentiful — from crisp, spicy kimchi to the creamy potato salad that’s strangely addictive. The bulgogi arrives sizzling, tender, and perfectly seasoned, and the naengmyeon is icy, tangy, and refreshing, the perfect counterpoint to the grill’s heat. Service is efficient but warm, the space is spotless, and the atmosphere buzzes with that mix of conversation, clinking chopsticks, and grilling meat that makes you want to linger. Arisu doesn’t just serve food — it serves a little pocket of Korea, right here.

Very good korean bbq, good quality meat. I would compare this spot to the more popular Baekjong. My favorite cut was definitely the boneless short rib—super tender and juicy. Their radish kimchi looked different than the usual and was my favorite out of all the banchan. They also gave a cabbage pancake which was new to me but I am so glad they did because that was pleasantly savory and delicious. The soybean stew was very salty, I could not eat it personally, and they surprisingly don’t offer rice paper here. Aside from that, this was a great experience overall. Good service, they grill it for you perfectly. I like how the noise level is moderate unlike some kbbq spots that bump music too loud. The menu has a lot of variety in which I don’t see at other non-ayce kbbqs. I would definitely recommend to others to try Arisu kbbq if you’re craving kbbq and want to try a different spot!

Hands down one of the best Korean BBQ spots I've been to in OC! The meat quality is top-notch in freshness and texture. The atmosphere is fun and welcoming, perfect for both groups and date nights. The staff is also really friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to and recommending to friends!

Bitna was amazing. She gave a lot extra side dishes and cooked the food to perfect level. The meat quality is next level and the side dishes are delicious

Can have some loud and obnoxious patrons but nothing on the restraunt. Meat quality was above average. The server does cut the meat for you which is nice. Banchan was solid and worth eating. Ask for the rice wraps!

The service is attentive and they really know how to grill. Handown one of the best Korean bbq. The meat quality is top notch. You pay for quality. Highly recommend if you are in OC area

Great Korean bbq. Lots of sides. The cold buckwheat noodles comes with a main and a baby size so you can try different styles or share. Would recommend.
