The Meaning Behind 'Ari': A Tribute to Korean Heritage

At Ari Korean BBQ, our name carries a deep cultural significance that reflects the heart and soul of Korean heritage. The name "Ari" is inspired by the timeless Korean folk song "Arirang," a melody that resonates with the history, emotions, and spirit of Korea. But what exactly is "Arirang," and how does it relate to our restaurant? Let’s explore the meaning behind this iconic song and the connection to our name.

The Story of Arirang

"Arirang" is often referred to as Korea's unofficial national anthem, a song that has been passed down through generations and holds a special place in the hearts of Koreans around the world. The song's origins are somewhat mysterious, with various versions and interpretations existing throughout different regions of Korea. Despite its many forms, the essence of "Arirang" remains consistent—a song of longing, love, and resilience.
