Located near the Yangjae 2-dong Community Center at 41 Gangnam-daero 12-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul, Room 103, Ari is a small Japanese home-style restaurant that immediately catches your eye. With its endearing name, Ari is the perfect place to go when you're craving a simple yet delicious meal.

From the moment I first stepped inside, I felt a sense of familiarity and ease.
As soon as I opened the menu, the donburi (rice bowl) options stood out. True to Japanese home-style cooking, the warm rice was topped with carefully prepared ingredients that felt comforting. The Nankotsu Age (fried cartilage) was crispy and released a savory flavor with every bite. The Salmon Sashimi Donburi was generously filled, making it satisfying just to look at. The fresh and light salmon paired perfectly with the rice, making it impossible to stop eating. It had the power to make me clean the bowl without leaving a single grain of rice.
Ari's other charm is its Japanese curry. The rich and flavorful curry filled my mouth, leaving me feeling full and satisfied. The smooth curry sauce over the rice was distinctly different from anything I've tasted elsewhere. Both the donburi and curry dishes were delicious until the very last bite. Moreover, they offer Japanese sweet potato shochu, making it an excellent choice for those looking for a unique combination.
I also loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. Although small, the space was cozy and neatly organized, and the staff was attentive. From ordering to receiving the food, the service was quick and friendly, making the wait enjoyable. It's easy to see why customers keep coming back. It's not just a place to eat, but a place to relax and feel satisfied, which is a clear differentiator.
After the meal, I took a stroll to Yangjae Citizen's Forest. It was wonderful to walk through the woods after a satisfying meal. The meal at Ari did more than just fill my stomach; it changed my entire mood for the day. I smiled as I strolled leisurely, remembering the comforting warmth of the rice bowl.
