    One of my favorite places to eat in Reno! Consistent, fresh and absolutely delicious. Their shrimp tempura is unlike any other I’ve tried with a thicker tempura and perfectly crispy. The bulgogi pork bowl is over the top! The amount of flavor that is packed into every bite is mouth watering and leaves you craving more. It has a pleasant heat to it, wonderful veggies, and perfectly cut and cooked pork. If you are still hungry, add the pot stickers. They have a thicker wrap then traditionally tasted but the are so tasty. Highly recommend trying this place if you are anywhere close to Reno

    good service. It's a pity that things are not as tasty as they used to be, and the taste is not good either. The beef was overcooked and horribly old. There used to be appetizers. it's gone now.

    The food here is AMAZING. I don't think my boyfriend and I have ever went to a Korean restaurant. We were sure what to order and settled for the bulgogi bowl and the pork bulgogi. Also had the shrimp tempura as an appetizer. Plenty of food! Took home left overs. Also had the Arario Spritz and old fashioned. Total with tip was around $80! Not bad at all!!! Soo good and definitely will be back or for take out.

    Nice spot. Usually go to ijji 4 when I want Korean food, but this place has a different atmosphere I guess. I ordered the bulgogi pasta and it was just ok, nothing special. Wasn't very flavorful honestly. Great atmosphere and spot though. Wouldn't mind coming back here. The kimchi fries were delicious.

    Very good fusion Korean food. They have a nice bar and the service is good. We got the bugogi pasta and the short rib kalbi entree. The plates are balanced with vegetables and potatoes. The kimchee is very delicious. I really like the Macaroni side dish. Restrooms are down stairs and they have parking across the street. Pay 2 text parking and then the restaurant will validate it for you so it's free parking.

    We ate here for the first time after seeing the menu and rave reviews, and it was great! We didn't have a reservation for our party as we didn't anticipate the place being completely packed. Despite getting take out, it was worth the wait. We'll definitely be back if we're ever in the area again!

    This Korean restaurant is very nice. It’s located on a second floor in a very well maintained center. The food was delicious, even the mini complementary appetizers. The server was very kind and helpful (Sammie). I will definitely come back! I recommend to go on afternoon when is less crowded.

    I took my wife here for her birthday. We wanted to try something new; it's our thing. We were amazed. The place was very busy and lively. I had made a reservation. We were greeted very quickly and seated shortly thereafter. Super friendly staff! Nico was our server and he was on it. Our food did not take long to get to us. My wife and I have traveled quite a bit and three meats are at the very top of my all-time favorites. Filet mignon in Nairobi, Honey glazed ham in Italy, and this place. Bulgogi is a way of preparing the meat, as I understand it. My wife ordered a bulgogi beef bowl and it was mouth watering. I had a galbi burger, also irresistible. Incredible at every aspect of our experience. Definitely a repeat destination for us!

    If I could give this restaurant more stars I would. I was recommended this spot by a local and it did not disappoint. First, we started with a Casey mule. Then for the appetizers, we got edamame, pot stickers, & garlic soy wings. The wings were AMAZING. We could’ve eaten 3 more orders of them. For the entrees, we got the bulgogi bowl and the japchae with Chicken. Let me tell you I’m still thinking about how good the pork was in the bulgogi bowl. You MUST order it! The Japchae was okay - I’m personally not a huge fan of glass noodles but the chicken was delightful. We didn’t order any desserts but looking around at other tables they looked delicious. If you are in Reno you have to go to Arario. Make sure to make a reservation before!

    We had beef tartar and bibimbap, both tasted good. Very good prices, but the service was average.

    Had the japchae with spicy pork (pictured) and the kimchi fries (disappeared too quickly to take a picture). So good, I'm definitely coming back again!

    Delicious food, attentive friendly service, clean and pleasant ambience (except profane hip-hop music, not a fan 👎🏼). Will definitely return!

    Definitely a great place to go to enjoy some Korean food. Atmosphere was good. It’s on the top floor with outdoor and indoor seating. stone pot bibimbop vegetarian option was good. They charge for extra protein be it tofu or meat so every one of those add up. Our server Jacque was very calm and friendly providing the right decisions.

  • 5/5 Joanna C. 1 year ago on Google
    Vegan Food Finder The most satisfying vegan Korean food I’ve had in a while. We ordered the stone pot bibimbap with beyond meat and tofu stew without eggs. Both were delicious, filling, and very enjoyable. (Though they forgot to add salt to our stew but I really like bland food so I didn’t mind.) Most of the side dishes were also vegan- bean sprouts, sweet black beans and pickles- so that was a nice surprise. What truly made our night though was our server- Rain. She was the absolute best server we have ever encountered. It’s not an exaggeration when I say the meal somehow tasted better because of the ambience she brought to the table. She was accommodating, attentive, patient and friendly. At least 2 of the stars in this review go to her. Affordability: 🥦🥦🥦 Heartiness: 🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦 Yumminess: 🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦 Service: 🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑

    Korean surprise in Reno. I am a foodie that have lived in Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Craving Korean food while visiting my sister in Reno, I found Arario and was pleasantly surprised at the high quality of the dishes, the service and atmosphere. We went for lunch and ordered mussels as appetizer served in delicious broth, vegan Japchal and beef short rib Galbi in huge portions. Every dish was amazing and the staff and service were impeccable. Thank you for such a memorable day in Reno

    Came here for the Kimchi fries and boooy were they delish! Came back the next day and had to try the bulgogi beef bowl, this was soo good!! I also tried there garlic shrimp appetizer and this was also so good! I don’t live anywhere near Reno, but if I’m ever in Reno again, I promise this is where I’ll come. Prices points are okay, $15 for the fries and I think $18 for the bowl. Portions will satisfy! And they start you off with free samplers of kimchi, bean sprouts, their black beans and sweet kimchi. Great customer service, great food! I will come back just for the fries!

  • 5/5 Kristen A. 8 months ago on Google
    Ordered food for take out and everything we had was amazing! We got the Kimchee Fries, Beef Tartare and Ika Ika Bowl. Highly recommend this place!!

    Place is cozy. Food is excellent. Staffs are friendly. Love their fusion and TOFU STEW 😍😍😍My baby loves their fries. Best Korean place I have been to in the US. Recommended to my friends and they love it too!!! Will keep coming back.

  • 4/5 S S. 3 months ago on Google New
    - very aesthetic interior, clean tables, comfy chairs - expect a wait for dinner (our wait was about 45 minutes) - staff is super friendly - food stays true to the "korean fusion" style and is not exactly authentic korean restaurant but rather a "high-end" / "clean" type of korean food - dol sot stone pot beef bibimbap 5/5 - the kimchi cheese fries are very popular but I'd say a bit overrated - portion sizes align well with the prices - note: the gochujang sauce that comes with the bibimbap tastes a bit different from normal gochujang, not sure what has been added to it, but tastes good overall

    Went on a Sunday night and it was pretty busy. My chicken terriyaki bowl was yummy- nice balance of ingredients without anything overpowering. The espresso martini was tasty! It was just a little heavy on the espresso and not much cream, if any at all. It was still scrumptious. Pics attached of both items!

  • 5/5 christine m. 10 months ago on Google
    So first I'd like to say that this place is very popular so it tends to be a bit busy. The food was absolutely fantastic. It was so good I couldn't get enough of it. The service was very good it was just kind of slow, which is understandable since it's so busy. The atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy with dim lighting. It was pretty loud in the restaurant but again it was also very busy. I would absolutely recommend eating here. I can't wait to go again.

  • 5/5 Amber 10 months ago on Google
    Arario exceeded my expectations in a huge way! The Kimchi fries were delicious and the homemade kimchi tasted so fresh. However, the star was by far the pork bulgogi! Great heat, flavorful, and not over cooked. The service was also phenomenal!

  • 5/5 Mike W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great service, they check up on you often. Wait wasn't long, but best if you have reservations. this is definitely Korean fusion. Food overall was good. but definitely not authentic Korean food. Everything tasted great, we also had high balls the banana one wasn't that great other was good. It's in a nice area, decor is cute.

  • 4/5 Michael K. 1 year ago on Google
    Bi bim bop was good size portion and came topped with sunny side up egg. The toppings were adequate. They had carrot, cucumber and bean sprouts, in addition to a heap of sliced radish (meh) but I would have liked a few more traditional ones such as boiled spinach, kimchi, mushroom and maybe soy bean sprouts. I wasn't "slam dunk wowed" but it was very good and I would consider ordering again. The bulgogi was fabulous! I mean tasty as heck. Lots of flavor and onions along side the tender sautéed beef. It came with side of white rice and traditional ban Chan side dishes. We were too full for desert. Overall this was pretty darn good. It wasn't "knock your socks off" as I've had better Korean food but it was very tasty. I would recommend it and will return.

  • 3/5 Traveling J. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered something soup and squid. We liked the food, vibes, and service. The side dishes were kinda interesting, the bean was overcooked. Overall the foods were salty. I wasn’t sure if the people in Reno eat salty or not, but I think it was pretty salty. The noodle in the soup was great but had like 7-8 noodles. The food didn’t sit in well, I assume it was because of the spicy squid. I would go again if I needed, but I won’t be that excited to go though.

    One of the few places on "places to eat in Reno" lists that lives up to its reputation. I come here at least once a month and always leave happy. The owner is incredibly friendly and they are willing to adjust the menu to most dietary preferences. The food itself is well priced, fresh, and delicious. Get the Kimchi fries as an app and then almost anything on the menu and you won't be disappointed. Dog friendly if you sit outside, which is nice in summer.

  • 5/5 Guy W. 1 year ago on Google
    I can't say enough good things about this place. The food is an incredible fusion of Korean, Asian and imagination. The back bar is one of the best in town for rare and short run Whiskey, not to mention the owner and his staff can coach you through a tasting of any of them. Speaking of staff....TJ keeps his staff very happy and well coached and it shows in their attitude and service. Genuinely happy to see you every time you come in. I wish I could keep this place to myself, but the word is out. Get a table... If you can.
