My wife and I went to Arirang Korean Restaurant at 7pm for our date night, just 2 hours ago. The food was good as usual, as we eat there every 5-6 weeks, rotating to other non-buffet restaurants, and we know what to expect. My wife noted that the Korean waitress seemed ill tempered, as she had a frown on her face as we left the place. I had not noticed the face, as I was there to eat and talk about our 3 college students and family business. I have always paid the bill myself, but tonight I packed our left overs (we ordered 3 main meals) into the foam tray for take home to the kids. We spent over 40 dollars, and my wife left a tip on our card. The waitress, now acting as cashier scolded my wife (herself Korean also) and told her that tips are not what you want to give", and they must be at least 15%. I was informed about this exchange as we got into our car. I found this highly offensive, and my wife and I will no longer go to this restaurant. Lesson learned that if you dont mind a frowning waitress and a scolding for adjusting the tip according to the frown, the food is still good at Arirang on Gude in Rockville.

Great food, and you get huge portions for what you pay for. Even my "appetizer" was more than enough for two lunches. Went for lunch and it wasnt too crowded, which was nice. Definitely looking forward to coming back and trying some other dishes. Overall, its a great option if youre looking for good Korean food for a reasonable price - just be prepared to share a dish or take home the leftovers.

Its a little pricy but its completely worth it. Ive never left this place feeling unsatisfied no matter what I get. Their kimchi pancakes are so good and the portion is absolutely huge. Most of there dishes are served on hot stone plates/bowls too so the food is always piping hot but that doesnt stop anyone for digging in right away.

Ive gone to this place maybe a couple times a year for maybe ten years. Its a Great place for Korean tofu soup. The service is pretty limited so dont expect them to come by very often. The food is always consistent so you will know exactly what you are getting every time.

Typical Korean restaurant with all the standard dishes youd expect. Polite, hard working staff. For some reason, they only gave me a half portion of rice. Maybe they were running low on a busy night. Id prefer they provide metal chopsticks as opposed to the wooden ones.

Good authentic Korean food. They dont usually cater to non-Korean customers and speak limited English. But the food is great, one of the best Korean food in Rockville area. I recommend getting their seafood pancakes and spicy soft tofu soup.

Sizzling pork and octopus platter was delicious. Known for their soondubu jigae, each individual hot pot comes with a clay pot of rice (scoop out the rice and pour water/barley tea to simmer). Service was very good. Nice dinner.

Decent Korean food. Went there on a Thursday evening and the place was pretty crowded. The food is run of the mill Korean food but on the expensive side. Got the seafood bibimbap, flavor was good but the squid was rubbery.

Best tofu soup and jabong noodle soup in town! Good side dishes for this size of restaurant. I come back again and again for the tofu soups even after moving out of town.

Fat and stupid waitresses suck. They gave us the food that other people ate. These fat waitresses were very ignorant and rude. They are the worst waitresses ever!!!

The wait for ordered food is extremely long. The side dishes are not brought out until the food is served. Service is slow and poor.

This place makes you wish you were in In the better places in Northern Virginia. Ban chan was ok, grilled mackerel was inedible.

They asked for 15% tips in person, grab my tips and put it on table say it was not enough. What the hell is that?

if you like Korean style spicy tofu soup, this place has very close to the taste of Seoul.
