I'm glad cheers cut is still here after I found out about it a while ago. I come back once in a while if I ever want a tasty snack: food on a stick! Their skewers are what I love the most because that seasoning is just THAT addictive. Priced at about $2.50 a skewer, it's reasonable for the quality and deliciousness you're getting . SOMETHING ABOUT THAT SPICY SEASONING MAKES ME SING! Service was friendly and the place is located inside The Spot ! I'll try their crispy chicken next :-) read more

Cheers Cut is located inside The Spot Asian Food Hall. They serve a variety of different Taiwanese street foods, most notably a rendition of 大雞排, which is honestly pretty rare to find in the US. Since we saw it on the menu, we had to get it. Ninja Crispy Chicken ($11.50) - The chicken has a bit of crunch from the coarse sweet potato flour and had the appropriate sweet and savory five spice, sugar, white pepper flavor. The chicken is breast meat, pounded flat, super juicy and moist. Unfortunately the packaging is not appropriate for this dish. The heavy paper wrapper causes the chicken to steam itself, making the breading soggy, even though we picked up the order as soon as it was ready. It was awkward to share - I think the idea was to rip off a portion of the cardboard and munch on it directly, but since it was to be split we ripped open the wrapper and cut it with a knife. Not traditional for sure, but such a cleaner method to eat. Overall this dish was good but not great. The flavor is on point, but the method of delivery is bad. read more

It's been years since I have been to The Spot. During this visit, I visited couple stalls including this one, Cheers Cut. It was easy to order and took about 10 minutes to prepare. I finally decided on the Grilled Octopus. It was perfectly cooked and the flavor was spot on. Definitely will be back to try other items. read more

Everything came out piping hot. The chicken was juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. It was massive and therefore awkward to eat. Possibly because I don't really know how to use the sleeve properly. The curry rice was a little bit spicy and was a solid veggie Japanese style curry. I only wish there was a little more curry for such a large serving of rice. read more

Cheers Cut - A1. Ninja Crispy Chicken & curry rice - Taiwanese Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Honestly the only highlight was the chicken and the curry rice. The chicken was flavorful and juicy and crispy all in one, as for the curry rice it had amazing curry flavor with veggies. We also ordered some fries which were pretty good nice and crunchy yet soft in the middle with a nice touch of seasoning salt on them. As for the skewers the shrimp skewer had its skin on the entire body and was difficult to remove it was chewy and unflattering then the broccoli skewer was so disappointing I think it was like 2 bucks and some change for four little broccoli heads on a stick that was overly seasoned I would've rather have the option of getting a side of broccoli rather than a child's handful on a stick. The winner here is the chicken and curry other than that not at all really a come back situation here read more

The flavor of the chicken nuggets was pretty good, although it definitely leaned on the salty side so I had to drink a lot of water alongside them. Maybe it would be better with rice? I did get it as takeout though so they were not crispy at all (even though I ate them relatively soon after picking them up). Also, some of the chicken pieces had a strange, super dense texture - I wouldn't really call it rubbery but it definitely had an unnatural quality. read more

I have a weakness for deep fried food. No matter what I come to The Spot for (oh, some quick poke here, some gong cha there), I am always tempted to stop by Cheers Cut because I know all the fried goodies are over there on that end LOL. When they first opened, I tried the infamous ninja fried chicken and wasn't impressed. It seemed like - for lack of a better description - a slab of chicken that was flattened and then deep fried. In theory, delicious. In actuality, there were bones and it was a little awkward to eat. This time around, I went with a combo and got the ninja chicken again (but cut into strips), with some curry rice. It felt like a very comprehensive meal and the chicken was crisp and flavorful... way different experience eating it this way. The portion was a good lunch size, but I'd add more to the mix for dinner. read more

Wow if I could give them zero star I would. Was recommended their minced pork rice, and ordered a large portion. When it arrived I realized the minced pork was but only a spoonful in the large bowl. They should have just called it "minced pork flavored rice" instead. For what it's worth the minced pork rice was very good, but 5 bucks for a bowl of white rice and minced pork flavoring is a terrible value all around. read more

They give good amount of squid. I thought the squid would be more crunchy but favor was good. Especially Taiwanese teriyaki sauce, it was amazing. Beef tender was good favor, quite spicier than I thought. Lamp was ok little lack of favor. Overall it was decent food. read more

I came to the Spot Food Hall in the afternoon one day. It wasn't too crowded and it was during "Happy Hour" 2-5pm so everything was like 20% off. I ordered a combo which was like $11ish, but then with 20%. It comes with a drink or miso soup. Food: Ninja popcorn chicken combo w/ miso soup - Honestly, the amount of food in this combo was pretty sad. I can get a combo at vivi's for like the same price and it comes with double the chicken and braised pork. The amount of braised pork was just sad and the chicken was just okay. Nothing special. Overall, it was pretty overpriced and not worth the quality of food. Service was okay, but seems pretty slow and disorganized. Wouldn't come back here and pay full price. It wouldn't be worth it at all. read more

Cheers Cut - Ninja popcorn chicken combo - Taiwanese Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

The service and how the staff handles their mistakes are the reason I will probably never go back here again. If I could give zero stars, I would because of how the food was handled and it makes me want to not trust any food from here. I walked up and placed an order of two chicken wing platters for take out, because we were meeting some friends and eating in the town center. Everything was pretty normal and I was given a buzzer that was supposed to go off when my order was ready. Feel like this is a pretty standard practice and even the person I was with who ordered take out also had her buzzer actually buzz. Long Story: After a while, I realized it was taking quite some time for my order to be ready. I thought initially thought nothing of it until people who ordered after me were getting their orders while my buzzer didn't go off. I just assumed they were low staff in the back. My friend who had ordered after me had already gotten her order, so I waited maybe thinking it took longer to make fried chicken wings compared to fried shrimp. It wasn't until I walked up and asked about my order that I knew something was wrong. The buzzer had never been initiated to go off and apparently the staff had let someone else walk away with the food. The staff member realized that he had made an error and came out from around the back to a different table where he assumed the family had grabbed the wrong order. He then checked and I saw him explaining that that wasn't part of their order and checking the bag and then checking their food to see that one of the chicken containers was open and already eaten out of. He then proceeded to take away the open bag back behind the counter. He explained that they had already opened and eaten two out of one container of wings but the other one is untouched so handed me it and said they took your order but you can take this but the other container was eaten by them. Then there was a long pause of what to do next. I was obviously frustrated at the fact that my order was screwed up and I even clarified. Wait this was handed out to someone else how do I know they didn't open up the container already? And he said no, it's full there are all the pieces in there. I was not happy at that point. He then said you can take this but the other part of your order will take about another 5 minutes to make. I was confused at that point not understanding what my options are. He also proceeded to shove the bag up and say you can take this now and eat while your other order is being ready or and then shrugged. Not even offering a full refund. Is it will I get my order or would I like a refund for the other part of the order that I didn't receive or can I get a refund? He gave no indication of what my options were and basically just kept pushing me to take the already open bag that had the one "supposedly uncontaminated" container. I don't know if he was pushing for that so that his manager wouldn't have to come out and issue the refund? The time that I spent waiting was definitely more than 40 minutes. Synopsis: I understand the confusion handing the wrong order to someone, that happens, but how it was handled, I do not agree with. I cannot believe going back to a customer trying to fix your mistake by going assumingely to the family that took it by mistake, taking the already open bag and then giving it to the intended customer without knowing for sure that the food wasn't touched or opened or eaten by them all of this can be seen. It makes me not want to trust the food that is prepared and as diners we put trust in that what is made is correct and not contaminated. read more

I'm actually a big fan of the fried squid here. The breading-to-squid ratio is on point; the breading stays crunchy, and the squid remains tender & not rubbery, which is a HUGE plus. The salt & pepper taste is there, but pretty subtle. I think it's good enough to eat by itself without any of the sauces. Unfortunately, I'm not really a fan of anything else on their menu. The sautéed squid is definitely not as good as the fried version. The sauce they use to cook it with is a bit too sweet for my palate, and to me, it was odd tasting basil combined with that sweetness. I've ordered the fried chicken here once, but it didn't really stand out to me. I'd just stick to the fried squid lol. While you're at it, try the chili sauce with your meal. It has the right amount of heat and flavor. read more

(3.75) ~ Good Overall Food & Service MENU: ** Three Skewer Beef (Medium Spice) = (4) very good, although "medium" was actually too spicy for me, so I guess will do Mild next time. * Three Skewer Lamb (Medium Spice) = (3.75) Good, but Beef was better. read more

The Good: The quality & taste of their Taiwanese Fried Chicken ($9.50). Their meat to breading ratio was good, there's plenty of meat unlike Asia Taste / Jumbo Jumbo. It's crispy but not overly greasy. The salt & pepper taste is solid but can be a little stronger. I would recommend getting the fillet if you don't want bones on your chicken. The Bad: Wait time & organization skill. They seemed to be overwhelmed and all over the place. There's so much disorganization - lack of utensils, people crowding everywhere (no clear instruction on where to order / wait), 30 minutes wait time for 1 fried chicken (she claimed 10-15 minutes wait time). The Ugly: Customer service & lack of training. The worker assured me that parking's free in the Rockville Town Center garage. When I came out, it was not free - I had to pay 2 bucks... She even went to the back to make sure she's telling me the correct info. Sure, it's your soft opening, but I feel like these are the basic things your workers should know. read more

Got the popcorn chicken set meal with rice and boiled broccoli/carrots. Some of the broccoli were starting to go bad, but still edible. I liked the popcorn chicken, but it could have done with some more seasoning. read more

Would give it zero stars if I could. The "extra large" ninja chicken is criminally small. Ours came soggy, overly seasoned in some places and tasteless in others, and about half the size it used to be. I get that covid has caused increases in produce and meat, but this is unacceptable. read more

Yes--a Taiwanese fried chicken spot! I've never been to this chain so I was pretty happy to have tried it. I came during the grand opening of The Shop (are these Asian food halls becoming a trend?). Of course, it got pretty busy and the kitchen seemed to have a few kinks but overall I had a typical experience ordering food from a counter and picking it up. The staff was nice. If it's your first time here, I recommend trying the salted pepper Ninjas Crispy Chicken with Taiwanese Teriyaki or Thai Sweet & Sour sauce (I think I like this one better). It's pretty much a huge slab of chicken cutlet, served in a box that could be converted into a holder you can use to eat on the go. Can't wait to try the other dishes! Thank goodness for tasty Taiwanese food. read more

The service was great with the cashier being nice & friendly. My first time there & it will be a return for me to try more of the chicken & seafood choices! Place is "the spot," highly recommend to check out. read more

Solid place for a quick bite in The Spot. I got the ninja crispy chicken with white rice topped with curry sauce and a side of chilli sauce for the chicken. I could've used a heavier dose of curry over the rice and more chicken, but it was still very tasty. read more

Cheers Cut - Ninja Crispy Chicken w/ White Rice and Curry - Taiwanese Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

I got the A1 Ninja Cut Fried Chicken and the A9 Combination box of fried chicken, beef, and squid. The A1 fried chicken is extremely tender, rips apart so easily for instant devour (or sharing). Inside the A9 Combo box, they use shrimp chips as a filler. There were about 12 nugget size pieces of fried chicken, beef, and squid tentacles. It's a 3.5 rating... I liked the A1, but not impressed with the A9 Combo box. If you are planning to take an order home, order it ahead. I waited about 15 minutes for the order to come out. Don't freak out when they start calling order numbers out of sync. I was order number 75, when I ordered, they were at order number 71, and they called up to 86 before calling my order number. read more

I checked this shop out when I went to The Spot today for the first time. I got the combo of fried beef, chicken, and squid. LOVED it! Texture and flavor were both good. I split it with a friend who said there was garlic at the bottom of the container. They also had some prawn chips at the bottom which was a pleasant surprise. I only wish they put it on a plate which would have been nicer. I would definitely come back more frequently if it was closer to my office. Note-The Spot gets crowded around lunch time and seating might be limited so probably best to come before noon or after 1. I got here around 11:30 on a weekday. read more

This place is located in the food court style area called the Spot. This place in particular serves fried Taiwanese style food and I bought the chicken nuggets. It being in the Spot is nice since all my friends were able to get different things. And I wasn't the only person to choose this. It was pretty good. Wasn't the best Taiwanese style chicken nuggets I've ever had, but it was still good. The only thing I was disappointed in was that the box was quite big, but half the box was rice crackers... so for the price, I wasn't filled. Good snack, but I would see this more as an appetizer than a meal. read more

Tasty overpriced Taiwanese chicken cutlet the size of your head. Ordered the A1 Ninja Cut Chicken and it was essentially the chicken equivalent of a pork chop in what is essentially an envelope that you can tear and eat with one hand. $10.07 for a piece of chicken is kinda steep but if chicken is what your heart desires from The Spot, you might as well go for it. Open cafeteria style seating and free parking lot on the side across the street from the Rockville Library and Peter Chang makes this a convenient place for a quick bite. read more

Strong recommand! Please do order the skewers: seaweed, tofu, squid, chicken wings, eggplant, lamb... Last year there were only Taiwanese chicken. But this year it's different! The bbq skewers are very authentic Chinese bbq. And it's cheaper than Friendship bbq! Also the food court can give you more choices in one meal! Worth trying! read more

YESS!!!! Such an amazing selection of grilled/sautéed items. If you like calamari, I highly recommend their sautéed calamari. The sauce their sauté with has plenty of flavor so you wont need any additional sauce. But the calamari is soft yet still has the calamari texture and to die for! Please try if you get a chance to come to the spot! read more

Very tasty Taiwanese fried chicken steak. I would definitely go back and try out more. read more

This is my favorite stall in the spot. The Taiwanese chicken is good and the various skewers are all pretty good as well. I prefer the "nuggets" to the whole chicken just because it's easier to eat but they both taste good. read more

biggest taiwanese fried chicken cutlet i've ever seen in my life! somehow we managed to shove it down our throat because it was actually pretty good! juicy, but not as crispy as i'd like it to be because our ninja chicken was sitting in the sleeve while waiting for the grilled chicken to be made... which actually took much longer than i expected because we were both losing patience at one point... the bbq chicken plate came with rice, veggies, miso soup, and beverage of choice, actually a decent looking taiwanese style lunch box! pretty impressed. service was just ok, like all other food stalls at the spot... young employees who really #dgaf. expensive, by rockville standards, but it's still worth a try. read more

The combos looked great, but because they had just opened, there weren't a lot of opens. Located in The Spot, there's parking right next to it, and seating is shared (like a food court). We got the ninja cut & ninja chicken nuggets. The wait was pretty long since it had just opened (definitely up to half an hour), but it seemed like it was the ninja cut that they had a hard time to keep up with. Ok, so when we looked at the picture we didn't realize that the ninja cut was SO HUGE! We thought it was maybe a moderately sized chicken tender, but boy were we wrong. It looked like they took a whole chicken, cut it in half, flattened it, and fried it. There were also some bones towards one end of it. It was a meal for at least 2 people. They even put it in this cool long cardboard holder that had a picture of a sword, which was pretty hilarious because there were sections you could slow rip off like a hot pocket to just eat. Not gonna lie, I felt like a monster eating it. The chicken nuggets were good and expected. For each order, you were able to choose a spice and sauce. We chose pepper for both but it didn't taste very peppery. For the sauces, we got teriyaki and sweet & sour, both which went well with the chicken. On thing was that it was obviously hard to dip the large ninja cut chicken in the small thing of sauces, and dumping them out on the chicken was also a bit difficult. Chicken nuggets were more my thing, and I like it to be more salt & peppery, and I actually prefer Jumbo Jumbo's a bit more. read more

It has been my third time here in the past week. I love the skewers a lot! Last weekend we came to The Spot for dessert. Then we found there is skewer bbq. We tried and fell in love with it. read more

Honestly I thought it was fine but I also only had the miso soup and rice. My brother vomited after eating. I'm guessing some of the chicken was undercooked. When I went there, only one girl was sitting at the cash register and was on her phone. I had to speak up for her to notice me, so service wasn't super great. read more

EHHH I've definitely had better Taiwanese fried chicken. The chicken nuggets weren't really seasoned too well so I had to keep dipping it into honey mustard. We also got fries with our order and I like crinkle cut so I'm not complaining. I wasn't a fan of the broccoli and carrot pieces they added no order to fill up the container though. I probably wouldn't come here again. I think the idea of having an Asian food hall in Maryland seems pretty cool but they still need to work on the quality of the food and the way orders are done because it's way too messy. read more

I ordered 2 chicken wings skewers, the girl at counter not even verify my order and placed order 3 skewers for me. When I got home and open my bag, it was not even the right order, I ended up having 3 skewers of whatever meat I am not even sure what I got. Please be patient to customer and checked the if the food is correct before u handed to customer!!! read more

The food was really bad. The exploding chicken cutlet looked like a fried ball of poop. The inside looked even worse, despite it not being labeled on the menu, the inside was filled with cheese and had a foul smell. Just looking at it almost made me vomit, the taste was not better. I also got the Samurai fried chicken and they overcooked it and it was chewy and weird. Even the rice was mushy. How do you mess up rice? The only good part was the Diet Coke. The cashier was also friendly. read more

Ordered the samurai chicken meal. My meal consisted of a breaded chicken cutlet, curry rice, seaweed, broccoli, and a drink. The price for the amount of food is good. Would have rated higher if the actually chicken was crispy. It tasted ok but it was limp. read more
