Everything was packed with flavor from the seasoning of the wok on the noodles, the salty crispy outside of the pork chop, the fatty juices in the fried steamed buns, the umami in the sui mai, the brightness of the green onion in the fried rice, and the sweetness of the crab in the soup dumpling. It's such a great place to come and share a lot of food with people. I came pretty late (8:30pm) so there was no wait and we were attended to pretty quickly. The inside is very spacious with a ton of seating. Everything just looked clean and professional. Highly recommend this place!

It is often packed, but if you come during odd hours (early lunch or dinner) you have a good chance of being seated immediately. This restaurant is located inside of Montgomery Mall, the entrance is on the outside of the mall. The menu is extensive and great portions to share as a table. I have tried many dishes here and plan to continue exploring the menu. Some of my favorites are: - Scallion Pancake with Sliced Beef - Cooked to crispy perfection. - Cucumber Salad with Garlic - So simple, but so flavorful. I always order at least two of these when eating with my family. - Beef Stir Fried Udon - My toddlers devour this, great portion size and lots of great flavor. - Creamy Shrimp - Crispy shrimp with just the right amount of sauce. - Soup Dumplings - Large variety on the menu, love that there are so many different flavors to try here. The staff have been consistently great during each of my visits. They are attentive and check on us throughout our meal. The seating can be a little tight so again, if you have a larger party expect a wait because this place can get really packed. Overall, a great family friendly option with lots of delicious menu items to choose from :)

Fish can very easily be overcooked in Chinese cooking even if the timing is off by 30 secs but they have it down to an art. The interior space is very nice- would be a great date spot- just...remember what spicy food in general does to your stomach and "below" after if you wanna spend time with your date after The one thing I will say is they are definitely short-staffed. The waiters are very nice and helpful but were clearly overwhelmed when we were there. There is free parking for 2 hrs with validation so very easy to park, although the lot was very full when we went. Overall a great experience and would totally go back

The XLB were flavorful and juicy, and I really liked the broth in the noodle soup. The soup had plenty of depth, though I thought the amount of beef was a little less generous than expected. My one oddly specific complaint was the metal soup spoon. It heated up quickly with the hot broth and made eating the soup more frustrating than it needed to be. A ceramic spoon would make much more sense. Service was good and fast. Overall, Bob's is a solid Rockville spot when you're craving authentic Chinese food, and probably even better with a few friends so you can order several dishes and share.

Located near Town Center in Rockville, it's tucked behind the Walgreens in a plaza. I placed a take out order but will say that the restaurant was PACKED! There was a regular menu and a dim sum menu which I could appreciate. I ordered the basics: combo fried rice (chicken and shrimp), vegetable spring rolls, sesame chicken and jasmine rice and egg soup. The rice and super flavorful and worth the 15 min wait. The sesame chicken was great as well. The egg drop soup was overwhelming with eggs, so it was ok. Not bad but I didn't expect so much egg. Also, the spring rolls could have been fried a little harder. Ver crispy on the outside but once I bit into it, the soft texture threw me off. But it was nothing that my air fryer couldn't fix! Overall, service was quick and easy and friendly. There were a few normal patrons that our cashier knew so that was a great sign. I loved the fact that I was able to see their accolades on the walls and there's an open window that allows you to see the food prep, which was neat! Overall I'd give it a 4/5 and will be back!

We visited this restaurant a couple of days ago, and unfortunately, it was one of the worst Chinese…read moredining experiences we've ever had. The food itself was extremely disappointing, but what made the experience even worse was the fact that our order was missing ingredients that were supposed to be part of the dishes. When we questioned why our meal had no vegetables, we were told that they had simply been left out. That's not something we expected, especially given what we ordered. To make matters worse, we were rushed out and told that we needed to leave because the restaurant was closing. What was especially uncomfortable was seeing other customers upstairs who were still eating, ordering food, and being loud. When we asked why they were allowed to stay while we were being asked to leave, the owner told us that they were "special customers." That comment was extremely off-putting and left us feeling as though we were being treated as less important or less welcome. The only positive part of the experience was our waiter, who was polite and pleasant despite the situation. Overall, between the disappointing food, missing ingredients, and the way we were treated at the end of the meal, this was a very unpleasant experience. We certainly expected better and, unfortunately, would not return based on this experience.

A friend who is a novice to this type of cuisine, was interested in sampling a variety of Asian style dumplings, and this place definitely fits that description. The spot can get busy during the prime time 6-8pm dining segment, so I'd recommend making reservations to guarantee seating. Located in the heart of Arlington at the intersection of Wilson and Clarendon Blvd, parking can be a challenge but if you're willing to walk, there is usually availability in the surrounding neighborhoods. The interior is beautifully decorated. Tile flooring is complimented by blonde hardwood ceiling and wall accent pieces, while bamboo lighting fixtures provide soft illumination. The menu is rather extensive and runs the gamut from soup based, fried, and steamed dumplings. There are also appetizers such as scallion pancakes, tofu with perserved duck eggs, and dim sum ...but we decided to stick with the more traditional style steamed dumplings. A pot of hot jasmine tea arrived to share and we appreciated the refills of hot water through out the meal. Pork soup dumplings - or xiaolongbao (XLB) - arrived first and I provided a brief primer as to how to enjoy this dish. XLB are delicate steamed dumplings filled with seasoned pork and a rich, savory broth that bursts with flavor when you take a bite. My recommendation was to nibble off a corner, and then allow the contained broth to drain into the soup spoon. If you bite directly into the dumpling first, it will likely make a big mess as soup squirts everywhere. We agreed that the pork broth was extremely flavorful and not too salty. I also suggested making a dipping sauce of the black vinegar, chili oil, and just a tiny splash of soy sauce. Dipping the XLB into the sauce amped up the spice and enhanced the flavor. The other two dumplings arrived a few minutes later. Of the two, the chicken and shitake was preferred. Seasoned chicken and earthy shiitake mushrooms are mixed and then steamed to bring out an umami-rich flavor. This was quite good. I grew up eating this type of pork/cabbage dumpling, so while it was solid, to me, it was quite "boring." The pork dumplings needed the dipping sauce for sure. Service was fine. Dirty plates were removed when appropriate while water glasses and the tea pot refilled when necessary. My only observation, and not a complaint, is that I can understand why some reviews say this place is "expensive." I don't necessarily concur with that assessment since I think the food is quality. However, paying $11-$15 for a plate of 5-8 dumplings can add up quickly. Still, for a restaurant where a diner can try a variety of different dumplings in one spot, I think the prices are reasonable. Dinner for two adults - a pot of tea and three entrees - with tax and tip came to about $61.

I chose the zucchini and shrimp and a hot and sour soup for a lighter option for dinner. It actually took a long time for my dumplings and soup to be ready.

I saw several others with ramen bowls and if I could go back, I'd have ordered that. Price was around the same by the end and, much better presentation and more food. For food court dumplings and ramen, this was pretty good.
