Excellent food and service. Limited parking spaces so get there early. Exceptional service and friendly staff. Last visit I had, I went when the restaurant just opened for business (1130am) so it took a good hour to wait for the food. However the waiter did mentioned about the wait which I didn't mind. My visit (1230pm) yesterday was a merely 10 min wait.
Our favorite restaurant in Ottawa! Completely disagree with the comments about the service. In our experience it is the Best service in town - my family eats here twice a month and we love the staff they are very kind and helpful even when it's crazy busy. In fact they make so much effort for us and our kids that we really enjoy the experience every time. The food is always exceptional and so is their service. My favorite dish is Jayuk Bokum! I've had it at many restaurants but it is the best at Alirang by far! Their dumplings are sooooo good and everything is really hot and perfectly prepared every time. Love it so much! Thank you!
Great place to eat out with friends and awesome selection of food! we got seated right away but the food took awhile to get to our table but definitely worth the wait! The tteokbokki was awesome and the spiciness was perfect. We got some shrimp tempura and dipped it in the sauce.
The soups all came with rice and sides to share. Plentiful amounts and very nice staff too!
Highly recommend!
The entire dinner was absolutely exceptional. The flavors of each dish were so different from one another and each dish had its own array of unique textures to keep each bite different than the last. All dishes were not too salty or oily and were perfectly balanced!
Edamame and Mandoo pork dumplings were both great and perfectly cooked- 4.5/5
Bulgogi beef and rice (M3B) was a must try, massive portion of perfectly seasoned and super tender beef. Absolutely delicious and could not nearly finish the plate, left with left overs! 4.7/5
Japchaebap (M12) stir fired vermicelli noodles with vegetables and beef. The noodles and broth had an amazing enjoyable texture but there was not as much beef as other dishes and the flavor was lighter. 4.3/5
everything was delicious! took galbi tang (short rib soup), galbi was tender.
bulgogi, tasted great. big portion.
the potato croquette was very good, my son loved it.
service is great, spacious dining room for a downtown location. kid friendly.
location is easy to miss when driving there, there's a big tree and the building is dark brown.
parking: we noticed a free parking sign in the back of restaurant when we left the restaurant.
will definitely come back
We ordered from their Rideau location and it was our first time trying this restaurant. We all got the bulgogi beef bibimbap with tteok-bokki. The food was delicious and generous in portions.The flavors were amazing and the egg on top was cooked perfectly. The tteok-bokki was slightly on the fishy side (as in you could tell there was fish sauce in it) which some people may not like but we didn't have an issue. The service was also great. Over the phone the lady that took our order was super friendly an when I saw her at the restaurant she was so polite. We will definitely be going back to try more dishes!
Went to the Nelson Street Location tonight... Great friendly service, and amazing food and when I say amazing I mean the Spicy Korean Sauce in their stir fry was so good I'd bathe in it just to smell and taste the way it did haha.. Seriously though great portion size, great prices and if your taste buds aren't satisfied when you leave than there is no hope for you!
Arguably the best/most authentic Korean food I’ve yet found in Ottawa.
This humble spot boasts many of the classic Korean dishes with solid banchan to cut the great spice & unctuousness of the mains. Top dishes I’d recommend (as someone’s who’s eaten a lot of Korean food: bulgogi dukbaeggi, seafood pancake, & chicken bokum
