"Ariari is just one restaurant in the burgeoning empire of prolific Hand Hospitality restaurateurs Kihyun Lee and Jinan Choi. The menu of Ariari is inspired by the food of Busan, with dishes like mak hwe, thin-sliced seasonal fish served with lettuce wraps; scallop DIY gimbap, a seafood butter-gui with shrimp and baby scallops, a seafood pancake, and soft-shell crab. The space looks like a stylish diner, with dinette-style metal furniture, framed photos of Korea, and a bustling kitchen and bar at the rear." - Eater Staff
