Awesome Korean place in Dublin. Large portions and great value! Service was very good and the atmosphere was really authentic. Definite worth a look!
Arisu became our favorite restaurant since we moved to Dublin. The service, the atmosphere and the food have been 10/10 every single time. I highly recommend the BBQ sets and the Bulgogi Gimbap. The service was amazing every time and we always leave full and satisfied! In my opinion the prices match the food quality and quantity!
We went to Arisu for lunch and ordered a Korean meal box and teriyaki chicken with rice. The portions were generous and the flavours were good overall. The complimentary sides were also tasty. However, the main issue was that the food was served cold. A warm, comforting element is really important in a Korean meal, and that was missing from the meal box. Even the complimentary miso soup was cold, which was disappointing. My husband’s teriyaki chicken was at least warm, but the chicken itself was a bit dry and felt like it had been cooked earlier and then mixed with the sauce. Overall, decent taste and portion size, but the temperature and freshness took away from the experience.
I’ve been coming here regularly and usually enjoy the food, but this visit was disappointing. The tteokbokki portion felt noticeably smaller, and the other dishes seemed reduced as well. When I asked about it, I was told the size hasn’t changed and it’s just a different plate, but the difference was quite clear. Unfortunately, the food quality wasn’t as good as usual either. I hope this is just a one-off and that things improve, as I’ve had much better experiences here before.
My partner and I had dinner here the other night. We went for Set B for 2, along with two other dishes. Everything was full of flavour and it all came out really quickly. The bulgogi in the BBQ set was the winner for us, and the kimchi rice was excellent too. Both are dishes I would happily order again. We also tried the bulgogi rolls, which were a great change from the “typical sushi” you might expect. They were really enjoyable, although the meat did feel a little dry. Service was fast and attentive the whole time, which made the experience even better. I will note, though, that it is a bit on the pricier side, especially the beverages. Two small bottled beers cost us 16€, which feels excessive.
