Hang Ari

Hang Ari has some of the best Korean comfort food in the area. Prices are reasonable and service is really quick. I stopped by on a busy Sunday evening. The place was packed and people were piling in. I love how they have the service button so you can push if you need assistance. My friend and I shared the seafood, beef Soondubus and the spicy pork stir fried Jeyook Bokkeum. Food quality was on point. The stir fried pork was not spicy at all. It came out on a hot sizzling skillet. The sauce was on point! Well seasoned and cooked perfectly. The Soondubus are a must order. My seafood one came with some large prawns and clams. You can customize your spice level as well.

Prices are fair here and I left full. Parking is really easy to find in the shopping center. They do not accept reservations at this time. I really enjoyed my experience here. Its wholesome Korean comfort food at reasonable prices. I even saw some people eating alone. Thats when you know the place is bomb. There is a wide variety of seafood and meat dishes to choose from. There is plenty of seating for small to large parties. The restaurant is a bit loud with people talking over each other. I'll definitely be back to try their galbi dishes.

난 이 돼지국밥으로 점심 한끼를 때우며, 엄청 행복하다.

기것해야 국밥인데. 이런거 하나로 행복이 어쩌고 저쩌고 하다니.

내가 이렇게 간단한 인간이였나.

그러나 부정할수없다.

난 이 국밥 하나에 오늘 일하는 보름을 느끼고, 무슨 상을 받은 느낌이다.

열심히 일하는 당신도, 이 행복에 한 뚝배기를 드셔보라.

그리고, 느껴보시라.

I would give them 4 stars for the Seafood Kalgooksu & 바지락 (clam) Kalgooksu. It's not the best I've had but definitely best in the Ellicott city area, with generous portions (especially the amount of seafood you get). I wish the noodles were more chewier (felt slightly mushy) but I'm not complaining! It satiates my craving for Kalgooksu and I'd come back for them.

2-3 stars for the service, the quality of their side dishes (their radish and beansprouts tasted very sour that I couldn't touch it at all). Also I've tried their naengmyun and soontofu and they were very much sub-par.

If you're craving Kalgooksu in the area, this is the best option -- would go. But if you're looking to get any other Korean dishes, might be worth considering other spots!

I got the combo 1 which included the beef short rip(Galbi) and the spicy seafood tofu soup(Suk Uh Soondubu) I did make a mistake of ordering medium spice since they are actually Korean spice level I should've gone with the mild instead, but the food was delicious and the tofu (firm but soft and flavorful) was the best I have had in so many years.

This is my favorite spot for naengmyun, or Korean cold noodles. It's so refreshing and perfect on a hot summer day (though tbh I enjoy it year round - and this is one of the few places that serves it year round). The broth is so flavorful and the noodles are easier to chew than the traditional buckwheat noodles so your jaw won't be as tired lol. Make sure to order the kalbi combo and eat a piece of kalbi with each bite!

I honestly don't really eat anything else here unless I'm with a bigger group, but their seafood pancake (haemul pajeon) and kalguksu are pretty good, though the kalguksu noodles were a bit over cooked last time I had them. I've heard the soondubu is good too but haven't tried it myself.

Even though I love the food here, I have to take off a star because service can be really questionable. Sometimes they ignore you and sometimes they're just flat out rude. It seems like they favor certain customers, like their regulars or elders (there have been numerous times when my party is the only group waiting, and a group of ahjussi/ahjumma show up and get seated first). It's really not a great look, but their naengmyun is so good that I overlook it every time :')

The kalgooksu here is very good! They have generous portions with a ton of seafood. If I were to make this at home it would cost me more just for the seafood. The noodles are very chewy and good. The place is big, accommodating and the service was fast. We were in and out within an hour or less. Would definitely come back for kalgooksu when we're in the area.

This is a great Korean restaurant. Lots to choose from on their menu. The portions are large, and easy to share when your party orders different items. The service is friendly, but be prepared that some orders take a little bit longer than others.

We however had a great time and enjoyed the food.

Soondubu and galbi combo nearly $30. Yummy but is it worth it?? Bought three for the family. Really hurt my wallet.
Service is pretty awful, especially if you order carry out. No one smiles. They ignore you standing there to pick up your order and pay. They make you feel like you're burdening them.
Parking in front is almost nonexistent and difficult to leave.
I often tell myself not to go here... then I go forgettin

Legit Korean food- one of the few places that will serve the barley tea rice side dish.

It's a bit crowded but that's okay - the flavor is nostalgic - and warms the soul.

When we went most of the other patrons were a larger parties of aunties and uncles enjoying their time sipping on beer.

2 dishes and the assortment of side dishes were enough for myself and the lady.

Will definitely come back to try more dishes.

This is my usual go- to Korean restaurant.
I always get the same dish every time I come here because it's sooo good!

Chicken kalgooksoo: this dish comes with a whole baby chicken and you can add salt/red pepper sauce to make it taste the way you like it. The dish is hot, fresh, and I love the added things in it like pumpkin slices, dates, and green onions. It'll definitely make you full and satisfied!
