Less than $25 (average dinner bill for 2 excluding alcohol)
New Asian restaurant where Ludwig's used to be. Great Korean-style ribs.

“We are trying to bring our culture here,” says general manager Ho Lee. “Most people think Asian restaurants don’t have bars, or places to watch sports….but we have a lounge where you can have a saki and watch a soccer game.” In addition, Lee says the food at Arirang might come out a little slower because they don’t start cooking until your order is placed. “Nothing is pre-cooked,” he says. Also, Lee says they make a sensational LA galbi, a name Korean’s use to describe American beef ribs cooked Korean-style, a method that originated in the Korean kitchens of Los Angeles. “They’re very good, very tender,” he says.

Authentic, and hands down one of my favorite restaurants in Cville. The lunch menu is great. Venture off the beaten path (go outside the "lunch box" menu) and try the Mandugook (Korean dumplings in beef broth), or the excellent Kimchi Jigae (Kimche stew with pork, veggies and rice).
This place will not disappoint those that seek culture and great taste. Great prices too.
Highly Recommended!
