One Man's Dream, 25 Years of Devotion
Youngsok & Jiyoun Do
Founders · Arirang Dumpling & Catering
"I came to this country with nothing but my hands and a recipe I believed in. I wanted to cook food that felt like home — not just for me, but for everyone." — Youngsok Do, Founder
Youngsok Do arrived from Korea with a simple but unshakeable conviction: that great food, made honestly, speaks louder than any advertisement. In 1999, he opened a small take-out window on Broad Avenue in Palisades Park, NJ — just a counter, a steamer, and a dream.
Word spread quickly through the Korean community. Neighbors told neighbors. Regulars became family. The 왕만두 — plump, hand-crimped, bursting with flavor — became the talk of Broad Ave. People lined up before the doors opened.
His wife Jiyoun Do joined him in building what Arirang is today — not just a restaurant, but a cornerstone of the community. Together, they expanded from a tiny take-out spot into a full catering operation.
Over 25 years, the neighborhood has changed around them. New restaurants have come and gone. But Arirang remains — same corner, same recipes, same commitment. Because some things don't need to be reinvented.
