 Arisun is a korean restaurant based in Sydney's city. Location is easy to get to from subways/trains and buses. The food was delicious, especially the fried soya chicken, it was crispy yet sweet, salty and tender. The chicken was the highlight of our meal, the dishes posted on this blog are the most recommended dishes from the menu. Arisun has, without a doubt, the best korean fried chicken I have tasted in my life. MUST TRY THEIR CHICKEN! The fries and the soup compliments the chicken because it cleans down the saltiness and the tanginess from the sticky sauce coated on the chicken.
