Rockville Arirang Restaurant

We had a fantastic lunch at Arirang, a lovely Korean spot on a quiet shopping strip. On a calm weekday afternoon, we were served five classic Korean side dishes-including kimchi, potatoes, and seaweed salad. We loved the seafood tofu soup and the BBQ pork; everything was incredibly flavorful! The portions are huge, the service was as friendly as it was efficient.

When I think of local Korean food, Arirang is the first restaurant that comes to mind! From bibimbap to tofu soup to the seafood pancake, this is Korean comfort food and one of the most authentic Korean restaurants in the area! I've been in Rockville for god nows how long, and a delicious meal at Arirang never disappoints!

Been a loyal customer for years. To me this is Korean comfort food. My usual orders are the soondubu, dol sot bimbimbap, gamjatang, hamulpajun and LA Galbi. They still provide numerous banchan and service for the most part is good. They do charge for take out containers, so bring you own to avoid the charge. MoCo doesn’t have many good Korean restaurants, so give this a try if you are in the Rockville, MD area.

The restaurant is a casual dining place. We ordered several items, and everything was good except for chicken fried rice. The chicken fried rice didn't have any eggs and didn't taste good. The Jap chi (glass noodles), soups and the fish was really good. Overall, a good place to try out Korean food.

It's just a great local favorite for casual dining. Feels like I'm in Korean, around a backstreet restaurant where everything is made out of wood and traditional comfort furniture. Food was heartwarming, feels like a mom made it and not some business man following the Korean trends. Only problem, don't go on busy weekends or else you'll have to wait an hour for food. Which is normal everywhere.
