Reviews for Hwa Gae Jang Tuh (HGJT) in Rockville, MD
Korean food is always a treat and bulgogi is my traditional go to. I really enjoy the kimchi and other accompaniments including... te zucchini, potato, salad? included in the service. Anytime you see lots of Koreans in the restaurant, it?s tells you the foodis good. Anyway, you?ll love the food. The service is efficient but not very personable. Otherwise, it?s a good place to getauthentic Korean food. Read more
Really tasty and attentive waitresses. A little expensive but huge portions! Full of Korean patrons so you know it?s good!
We had a great meal here on a late Saturday evening. Highly recommend the seafood pancake and the side dish banchan were... delicious. Service was good even though they were very busy. Read more
Food was good but the service was lacking which made the overall experience not great. I went with my partner and we ordered 1... shumai as an appetizer, I ordered regular naengmyeon, my partner bibim naengmyeon and we ordered 2 meat entrees for the grill toshare. My partner got his bibim naengmyeon, but I had not gotten my regular naengmyeon so I waited until after they got themeat cooking on the grill before I inquired about it. I asked our waitress where my naengmyeon was and she left to check only totell me they were sold out. I was a little miffed they did not make the effort to tell me my order was sold out and I had to askto find out. However, this issue resolved itself as my partner ended up giving me the bibim naengmyeon as it was not to theirtaste. At the end of the meal and after we got the bill, we realized we never got the shumai. However our waitress was nowhereto be found and 10 minutes later, she came rushing back with a plate of hastily cooked shumai. It wasn't even separated from itsdefrosted form. She knew it was forgotten and apologized. That was okay, but we didnt want to eat the shumai anymore and askedfor her to take it back and take it off our bill so we could leave. However, the waitress started to argue with me. It was soodd because the waitress had such a nice tone but was very rude at the same time. She insisted we had to pay for an appetizerthey had forgotten about which only arrived until AFTER they gave us the check and we were ready to leave. I was pretty annoyedat this point as the communication from the waitress was pretty bad from the beginning but her arguing with me about theappetizer was just a little too much. I wanted to explain that she was being ridiculous but my partner and I decided to justpay and leave. Honestly wasn't that bad of an experience until the waitress argued with me about her mistake.

Fist time here, wanted to have BBQ, but the meat here is a bit overpriced comparing to other Korean BBQ restaurants I?ve been.... Be aware that the pork belly is thin cut(not as shown in the menu picture) and not much pieces(~8 pieces) for around $22. Theserver also didn?t pay much attention to the meat, since the pork belly is thin, it?s get overcooked easily. P.S. The Galbi inthe picture is the portion as the single order. The bone wasn?t given to us. Read more
Best quality Korean BBQ meat in the area? Definitely much better than Iron Age. The pork belly cuts are extremely well marbled... and the assortment of free banchan (2x only) includes: potatoes, kimchi, bean sprouts, fish cake, and pickled cucumbers.Possibly the only Korean restaurant with fermented blue crab as an appetizer. They even give you a complimentary yogurt drinkdessert!! Read more
