No secret that Arario is one of my favorites, so it's only fitting that I write about my experiences there a few times a year. A recent guys night out landed me here with a crew of adventurous and ravenous diners, which is always a great occasion to expand my experience with the offerings! Here are my must orders no matter when you visit: Chicken Wings - Ask for the half and half sauce! Crab Tofu - Crunchy garlic, tender crab, and bouncy fried tofu are a great start! Tofu Stew - Just trust me here and always get this one. Perfect for cold weather! KBBQ - Bulgogi and short ribs are my go to but you can't go wrong with any! Whiskey - They have a lot and it's wonderful, but ask about their barrel picks! New to me on this visit: Dolsot Bibimbap - A more common Korean dish I get elsewhere. It's great here too and I like the raw egg on top Fried Mackerel - Crispy fish in a light marinade. Not for everyone, but I enjoyed I'm hoping Arario creates a few new dishes in the new year. I love everything here but I'm ready for a new experience and I know I can count on this team to bring it!

Came in for lunch with a friend and it was wonderful. Service from Jackie and Pauline was great. They are so nice. We ordered the kimchi fries that lots of Yelpers rave about and they were delicious! Also got the stone-pot BibimBop with tofu and I loved the whole collection of veggies, sauce and the crispy rice at the bottom of the pot. It was really nice sitting at a high-top in the bar area for the window views. Always highly recommend Arario for the fantastic food they have and the excellent experience and service they consistently provide!

Modern Korean fusion restaurant with a solid menu. What's great: -bulgogi pasta -poke bowl -stone pot bibimbap -green tea ice cream and chocolate cake What could be improved: -the acoustics in the back of the restaurant (I recommend sitting in the front area if you want to have a comfortable conversation) -the seating is tight so it's not great for large groups -the banchan isn't as on point as some of the other Korean restaurants in town Overall, I would still recommend this spot to anyone looking for consistently good Korean food with a modern twist.

I find myself recommending this restaurant often as they are an incredible Korean fusion restaurant. They have a beautiful outdoor seating area upstairs that gives you a nice little view where you can also people watch. I'm a bit of a weirdo, but I like to get the Kimchi fries without the kimchi and for the diet reasons, no spicy mayo but it really doesn't need it. The Bulgogi is so tasty and the flavor combination of the bulgogi, cheeses and fries are like a little party in your mouth. Because of my dietary issues, I haven't been here in a while but when I can eat these things again, this is a top five "must eat".

Oh my goodness, how have I not left a review for Arario yet! I love this place, it has a fun location above Noble Pie and Pinion in Midtown, super close to many other things. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Really great view point from their deck in the summer. I've gone for lunch several times and the service was always prompt and the staff very attentive. As a vegetarian I love that they have delicious options for me! My absolutely favorite is the Japchae, and there is an option to add impossible meat for protein! YUM! I could eat it all day long. Modern and clean feeling inside. Great for small parties but also for groups! They have been able to accomodate me and my coworkers for lunch (group of 8) with no problems. Highly recommend for any occasion.

This location is such a special place for both my husband and I since it was our very first date We return at least once a year and this year we came on our wedding anniversary. The food is always delicious, we had the grapefruit soju and our waitress was phenomenal. Since being named one of Yelps top 100 places to eat this place is always packed so I do recommend you make reservations at least 1 week in advance! You will NOT be disappointed! Their kimchi is the best!

The food was superb. Kimchi fries are a must and I'm not a Kimchi fan. The service excellent. Nice place to take guests

Arario is my must go place when I'm in Reno. Their servers are very professional, the restaurant's ambience is cozy and comfortable and their food is consistently good and fresh. I've tried many dishes, my top choice is beef tartare (Yukhui). As a Korean person I am, they have the best Yukhui 육회.

Came on a rainy Monday and was seated right away. The interior is very modern and decorated well. I ordered the beef bulgogi with steamed white rice. The beef was delicious and tender. I didn't understand why the bulgogi was on top of a bed of salad... didn't touch that. The side dishes (banchan) was also great.
