Hwa Gae Jang Tuh (HGJT) is a "real Korean" restaurant with a menu full of interesting choices. The food is satisfactory, offering options like Bibimbap served with rice and four (4) Banchan, which are good side dishes of vegetables. The restaurant is known for its tasty options for vegetarians, including Tteok-bokki made without fishcakes and delicious veggie pancakes. While the service can be inconsistent, with the staff disappearing after the initial greeting, some guests have noted that the servers do a fantastic job, especially when cooking the meat. The overall dining experience is reasonable, with generous food serving sizes and good taste. The restaurant has an aged appearance and a no-frills, hole-in-the-wall interior, but it remains a worthwhile option for those seeking authentic Korean cuisine in Rockville. The menu includes unique items like Joomulluck that might not be found elsewhere. HGJT has a mandatory tip policy, with a minimum of 18% expected, and they may call customers "cheap" if the tip is lower.
