Arang is a Korean Restaurant just off the back of Piccadilly Circus. It had gotten fairly good reviews off London Eating so I was expecting quite a lot. On first impressions the restaurant is very modern with table tops of white marble and black bottoms. Our first hurdle was choosing from the menu where options were wide and varied. Our waitress, a native Korean, was very helpful on this point and made a number of suggestions in line with customary Korean eating. Our second hurdle was knowing what to do with our food. In prior Korean eating experiences we would have cooked the barbecue ourselves but on this occasion every piece of meat was cooked by our waitress. Good service but I felt it was a touch OTT.

We went with Spring Onion & Fried Korean pizza with seafood, Fried squid with vegetables & red pepper paste sauce (very spicy), and for the barbecue dishes Bulkabi (beef rib) and Bulgogi (beef) plus some rice and lettuce. We were also given some complimentary sides including Kim Chi and Potato Salad. Oh we also received complimentary fruit which was a nice end to the meal.

Overall I was pleased with the quality of the food and the service was fantastic. I would have perhaps liked to cook the food myself next time as it felt like the waitress was there for the WHOLE meal. Arang is a very popular place and booking is recommended.
