This isn't quite a restaurant. Service is very sloppy and dishes are not made with effort. Not going back again.

Snugged in the side of Weichart building, this place is a hidden gem. Don't come here for the atmosphere 'cause this is a non-fancy place. It's known for small local eats of a spicy Szechuan cuisine. As a warning, spicy is really crying spicy here, so go for medium spicy is recommended. Spicy cucumber salad, cold spicy beef for appetizer following with lamb hot pot is a must. You can order Spicy wontons only on Monday but if you call ahead, the owner can accommodate. read more

This is based on takeout from Fahrenheit, not in-store experience: Fahrenheit is new to Grubhub and it stands out among a lot of other options because the options seem affordable and authentic. The first time I ordered from this place, it took over an hour for food, and I ordered 1 entree (the beef noodles). When it finally came, it ended up being pretty tasty, spicy, and seemed good quality. I immediately told a few different friends about this place. I ended up starting to regret doing this because a few weeks later I ordered again and the second time I ordered, for some reason the meat quality seemed to be much lower--the beef was all fatty pieces and the noodles were soggy by the time they arrived. The difference was drastic enough so that I'm not sure when I'm going to order from here again. I want to like this place, but for now I'm not sure I can trust the quality. read more

Ah, I am disappointed to write this review. I was so excited to try this spot out as it's close to me and I was craving hotpot, especially after I read these great reviews! First off, appetizer dumplings come with 12?!! I'm like is this an appetizer or an entree? I didn't end up ordering b/c it would've been too much. The server recommended the Thai hotpot...sounds good, I replaced the pork with beef and I was excited that it came with both a meat and seafood. It came out and it literally looked like a huge pile of bean sprouts and napa cabbage. I found two mussels, one fishball and two TINY shrimp. I'm chinese so I was looking forward to the the big shrimp with head-on ..similar to what they showed in the picture. Not the type of tiny frozen shrimp. Oh and where's the clams as it was listed? I brought it up to them and they brought out two tiny little clams. THen i asked them about the shrimp and how come there were two tniy shrimp in there and no thte head-on shrimp. THey said it was just for pictures and that they had put in 4 tiny shrimp in there. I absolutely was not going to eat a pile of bean sprouts and napa cabbage for my hot pot. I sent it back and shared my boyfriend's beef noodle soup (that was delicious!) and got more food after I left. Our server Nick was really kind though. read more

Fahrenheit Asian - Asian Fusion Near Me - McLean, Virginia

The food is amazing that's why I am giving them 3 stars, but the wait time is always too much. Even when they are not busy they take too long to bring our food. If you order take out you will have to wait for more than 1 hour. Customer Service is something they should focus on as they always lack on. They seem rude and angry most of the time. The food is the only reason most of the customer go back to this place including me and my friends. Food- 5 stars. Wait time- 1 star. Customer Service- 1 star. read more

Came here for lunch and have some spicy hotpot. The place is not very big. The broth was good, would have liked if it would have been more spicy. The hosts are nice and friendly. Overall an OK experience ! read more

Fahrenheit Asian - Asian Fusion Near Me - McLean, Virginia

I really wanted to like this place. I'd heard glowing reviews from my friends, I love tiny hole-in-the-wall mom and pop shops, love authentic cuisine and comfort food. So, when I was running an errand nearby, I decided to order some food to go. The website led me to order through the Toast app, and they even had curbside (win)! The menu had delicious looking dumplings and potstickers, lots of comforting soups, and the usual - noodles and rice. I got there on time and followed instructions to call the restaurant - they said the order wasn't ready and hung up. Ok, I figured I'd wait a while. 20 hungry minutes later, I called again - "not ready, we'll call when it's done." 20 more minutes (40 since the originally quoted time!) I call again - "we're working on it now, we'll bring it out to your car." 10 more minutes, I hear a lady from 10 feet away ask if it's my order - I roll down the window and she places it on a table outside the restaurant. Well, not quite curbside and an extra 50 minute wait, but okay, I figure it must be amazing and freshly made, and my car would fill up with delicious scent of freshly-made food, right? Wrong! As soon as I excitedly brought the plastic bag in my car, I could smell slightly off seafood with cheap grease. Maybe it's just before I actually open it, I think, quickly drive home, set my plates and take out the dishes - at this point I'm starving, so I figure anything will taste good. Wrong again. The steamed dumplings were ok - like something you'd find in the back of the freezer and overboil in water leaving a soggy mess of floppy dough. The shrimp fried rice (that I was so excited to customize with additional beef strips and Napa cabbage, was greasy and bland (though I ordered it with some spice!) tasting of old cooking oil. But worst of all were the shrimp potstickers that I had been so looking forward to. Instead of delicious bites of goodness, I got doughy lumps of greasy mash. The scent and flavor of rancid oil competed with old seafood. After a tiny bite of each dish, I had to sadly toss everything in the trash. Oh well, I guess I'll be more careful in the future - definitely don't want to waste almost $70 and two hours of my time on something even the neighbor's dog turned away (true story!). For the restaurant, I sincerely hope you learn from this and 1) update your wait times - that way, people aren't waiting for hours 2) use fresh seafood 3) use fresh cooking oil in the future. read more

I think 2 stars is still a tad bit generous. When we arrived we stood around for 15mins without anyone acknowledging us. It wasn't until I asked for a table that the waiter even looked at me. We still weren't sat until I saw a family get up (they had only had waters on their tables and haven't even ordered) that I asked to sit at their table. So many red flags right?! I decided to thug it out cause how bad could it be? Pretty bad. The food was ok. We ordered two hot pots and dumplings. The dumplings never came out . We did not get any spoons, we had to ask three different people before we were handed little plastic spoons before eventually being given soup spoons. I saw that at least 3 groups of people walked out because they were not served. I could understand if it was super busy but it wasn't. The service was severely lacking. No one checked up on us and we weren't given waters til after our food came out. They could invest in some bus tubs to making bussing quicker and more efficient. I hope they make adjustments moving forward because after reading some of the other reviews, service is a huge issue for them. read more

Updating my review in light of the owner's comment The mail I sent was to the email address on your website: FAHRENHEITMCLEAN@gmail.com I have sent another email. Secondly, your server dropped the check THE FIRST TIME when I had just taken a few bites of my second dish. The server again came and aggressively tried to get me to pay, waving the box you put your checks in my face. I left your restaurant with the dish not even half finished. How on earth can someone, under those circumstances, say they thought I was finished I do not know. Also, your reply does not address why I was argued with unpleasantly to not allow me to order the dish spicy. Why was I told Chengdu and Sichuan spicy are not spicy? Why was nothing done to try and resolve the issue when I clearly was upset, I was leaving a major portion of my meal uneaten and I was demanding the bill so I could leave because my meal was ruined? read more

Watch out for those dishes on the board without prices! The cooking is decent, wait staff is nice, and the offering is broader than the hotpot on the menu. However, those dishes on the white board can be very expensive! The twice cooked pork is $19 that would have been somewhere around $12-15 in most other places with the same decor/size. The 4 chive cakes are fairly sizable, but they come at $16. Similar but somewhat smaller items would cost about $10 in other restaurants. Green onion cake (yes, large again) is $9. Slightly smaller ones at Dumpling Queen is $5. Guess that's what you get when you have no competition. read more

We were seated at 7pm, didn't get a menu or water. 30 minutes go by and the waitress hasn't so much as even glanced in our direction. I actually rose my hand on two separate occasions to try to get her attention and she deliberately did not look in our direction. There was no doubt that she could see me as she was walking towards our table to serve an adjacent table. I'm finally able to get her attention and ask for some service. She says ok as she hurries away. Wait another 15 minutes -- nothing. There were only FOUR other tables at the time. It's unbelievable... I've never had a restaurant deny customers like that. If she just said they were too busy to serve another table that would've been fantastic but she ignored us the entire time. We should've walked away a lot sooner but I was honestly curious how long the waitress could ignore us for lmao. Never giving this restaurant another chance. read more

Hands down the best in the metro area. I was in DC for a lot of 2020, and some of the things I thought I'd miss were the Chinese & Taiwanese restaurants you can find in abundance in LA/NY. Discovering this place felt like it came with a hallelujah chorus in the background. This food is so good! You can't find anything else like this here. Sure, the wait is long, but that makes sense to me as it's just one family making the food. Personally, if I'm choosing to pay restaurant prices for dinner, I would rather wait a long time for really good food made by people who have made it their whole lives than eat mediocre food immediately. That's the whole point, to me. I'm so grateful to this family for sharing with us. I don't know what I would have done without their mapo tofu this past year. Note: They are also super accommodating for vegans! Thank you, Fahrenheit! Please never change! :) read more

Being in Northern Virginia, there are times when you feel like having a good bowl of noodle soup. However, with the exception of A&J, you're primarily limited to the styles of the Vietnamese--luckily in this area having respectable names such as Pho 75, Pho Sate, and Pho 102. If you are wondering what a non-respectable name would be, look no further than this deplorable list as follows: Pho-king Delicious; Pho-king Good; Pho-Shizzle; and What The Pho. I digress... The other style you are limited to are Japanese ramen shops--the likes of Jinya or Marumen. And so if you're looking for some Taiwanese or Chinese Beef Noodle Soup, you are stuck trekking up to the People's Republic of Maryland or going to Annandale for a respectable bowl of beef noodle soup from A&Js. So thank the one true God that He threw us a freakin' bone in the likes of Fahrenheit. Having not tasted their hotpots, I certainly can speak to the Chongqing Style Noodles and the Spicy Beef Noodles. While the Chongqing Style Noodles left me wanting more protein (for the gainz), the broth was spicy enough to cause me to *clear my throat* a few times. A formidable spice indeed. As far as the Spicy Beef Noodle, it certainly is more spicy than what you would have in a Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup. So if you're used to the Taiwanese style, I would opt for "Medium" spiciness, instead of "Hot." We had the "Hot" and felt like the spiciness overpowered the broth to the point that you couldn't really taste anything else. Moreover, the beef chunks were appropriate, and they also included a couple pieces of tendon. In this one rare occasion, you will hear me complain about the dearth of vegetables (bok choy) in both of the noodles we had. Each bowl literally, and I mean li-ter-a-lly, came with two individual pieces of bok choy. Two. Dos. Deux. Ni. Er. I'm all about that high protein to anything ratio, but two pieces? How am I supposed to have good digestion later on? On the noodle front, their shaven noodles are very thin and are quite good. It's a bit more crisp feeling than I would like for beef noodle soup--rather, I'd like a bit more soft and bouncy. Nonetheless, something good to try in lieu of their string noodles. On the dumpling front (what?), just do it. I actually would come here for their dumplings if I was looking for some good dumplings in Northern Virginia. These are traditional steamed dumplings, which come with their pre-made dumpling sauce. Moist and juicy on the insides (not to be mistaken for soup dumplings), it's a rather pleasing experience for my mouth. One thing of note is that it is on the slightly expensive side at approximately $1/piece. The only other place I would go for that price of a dumpling is Mama's Dumpling in Rockville, MD or Dumpings & Beyond in D.C. (same owners I believe). All-in-all, this is worthy of your time and hard-earned dollars. Yes, I may be biased because the location is in Mclean, but don't let that distract you from substance inside the bowls. read more

I would have taken pictures of the food for this review but unfortunately I did not receive any food. This restaurant is just way understaffed and the wait was way too long. I had a table of 3 and we sat down for 45 minutes without being attended to. I was a waiter for 2 years so I understood the demands of rush hour and I saw there was only one waitress. However, there weren't many tables at all and we were not acknowledged. Not even a menu or glass of water. After consistently trying to get the waitress's attention, but to no avail, we just left. There is just no point coming to a restaurant that does not care about their customers. No matter how good the food is, if there is no service, can you even call it a restaurant? read more

We are now 50 minutes past the time that my food was supposed to be ready. A grand total of close to two hours from when I ordered. Not the first time this has happened either. Will never be ordering from here again. Would give zero stars if I could. Staff are not apologetic and won't give any indication of when food will actually be ready. Forgot all the sauce and half my food is now soggy because it sat there while they made the last item. read more

The lines outside of Fahrenheit is always long. Now I know why and it's worth the wait. Great spot for tasty soups and Chinese food. Their dumplings, potstickers, Mongolian Beef, and Beef Chow Fun are absolutely delicious with the right balance of spices. They also offer a variety of hot pots and noodles. This is now one of my favorite spots in Mclean for tasty food and friendly service. Thank you, Lilly for making our dining experience so enjoyable. read more

After searching and visiting this new hot pot spot and trying a variety of dishes, I definitely think their noodles and other traditional Chinese dishes are their highlights. They have a variety of traditional noodle dishes ranging from different geographical locations in China. We ordered the jjajangmyeon, which is a Korean-Chinese noodle dish with black bean sauce, ground pork, and various vegetables. It was quite delicious. My favorite was their fried dumplings. They are handmade and seared beautifully with juicy and flavorful pork filling on the inside. The chili dipping sauce was perfect and the serving plate was practical as it had holes on the bottom to keep the dumplings dry. We ordered the Thai hot pot that was prepared with pork, seafood, and vegetables. I like how we can pick our broth (bone, vegetable) and heat level. The bone broth had flavor and the medium spicy level had a good amount of heat. The pot was filled with a good amount of meat and varieties so that was a fulfilling meal. I personally would like the meat to arrive separately from the hot pot itself. That way I can cook it at my pace and not feel rushed to eat it quickly in fears it will overcook. I also thought the flame died quickly after the food arrived on the table. I didn't even get a chance to add my extras to the pot. I asked for additional flame which the server gladly provided but that also died a few minutes later. It think it would be nice if the flame can run longer to fully enjoy the steam of the "hot pot" experience. Having had many hot pots, the broth and experience here doesn't stick out to me. But their noodle dishes are worth a try. The servers are very inviting and friendly. The location is a bit odd as it's near an office building. But it's such a diverse area that I witnessed so many ethnicities slurping noodles and enjoying the essence of hot pot! read more

The food was ok. I would go back but the service was pretty bad. It took us 10 minutes to sit down even when there empty tables. Then it took over 40 minutes just to get our food. Order the lamb and seafood hot pot. The lamb was good but the seafood was pretty bad. Most of the seafood was the fake crab meat. read more

The best way to describe Fahrenheit is a hole in the wall. Literally! The small restaurant is located in an office building surrounded by a very quiet neighborhood. It is easy to miss and quite unexpected. I was pleasantly surprised by the food - it was absolutely delicious. I tried their pan-fried dumplings, steamed shrimp dumplings, Thai hot pot, and beef noodle soup. Everything is made to order and you can truly taste how fresh their ingredients are. Most (if not all) of their dishes are handmade as well! Pan-Fried Dumplings - The dumplings were the perfect size. The wrappers were not too thick and the meat filling was generous. Each dumpling had a nice, crispy texture and juicy bite. Yum! Shrimp Dumplings - The translucent wrappers were super soft with perfectly cooked shrimp tucked inside. Easily the best I've had, even surpassing a dim sum restaurant. Beef Noodle Soup - This was my favorite! The soup was very simplistic with a great balance of flavor - no frills and not too overwhelming or salty. The noodles were the most delicious hand pulled noodles that I've ever tasted. They were so incredibly silky and delicate! If you ever come to Fahrenheit, the noodles are must. My only disappointment with the restaurant is their service. They have limited staff and as a result, service can be slow and the wait can be long. My recommendation would be to avoid dining in (their space is small too) and opt for takeout instead. Overall, the dishes at Fahrenheit exhibit a homemade taste and feel which I really enjoyed. It was my definition of comfort food! read more

This was a nice little restaurant tucked away in McLean VA. Plenty of parking outside. So when I say little it's literally a little place with no more than 10 tables. Ours was the biggest one with six in our party. Our bill came out to $100 which is not too bad. We ordered beef noodle soup, scallion pancake, soy bean milk, fried dough, beef hot pot, and spicy wonton. My biggest disappointment was the scallion pancake. Although the portion was large, I'm use to my scallion pancake to be crispy outside and soft dough inside. This was soft all around. I may come back to just try some other dishes and hotpot during winter time. read more

Came here after a nice hike at Scott's Run Nature Preserve; easily became the best choice I could have made. Very authentic hot soup/noodle cuisine. I ordered the seafood hot soup while the rest of the group decided on a variety of different noodle dishes. All came out visually appealing as well as delicious. The spicy level is alterable, "very hot" is exactly what it means "very hot", you have been warned. I personally prefer the shaved Noodle over the string, but you can't go wrong since both are handmade. The soup was delicious, comes out over a special heating system and it dissipates over time (see photo). Anyways, it was delicious!!! read more

My husband and I went here for the first time at a Sunday lunch hour, ordering two hot pots. I was born and raised in China and I feel the lamb hot pot really reminds me of hot pots at home. Second time we brought two friends here and they seem to like it too. The wait time were acceptable in our cases but the hotpot fire irritates my eyes. For my family we don't have any food restrictions but many of our friends do, so I think it will be better if the waiters are more familiar with the ingredients in all dishes. Overall I really like it and it's very authentic Chinese. read more

WOW, gotta love when you find hole in the wall spots that blow your mind! Found this little gem on Yelp tonight while in DC and knew it was Valentine's Day and was so happy there was not a wait. I met a friend for dinner and we started with the pork dumplings which practically melted in our mouths. The spicy dipping sauce was an excellent compliment for the flavor and we were already full before our hot pots even came out. We both tried the spicy beef/seafood (#5) and it was phenomenal! We took a peek at the beach dessert which literally looked like a tiny beach on a clear tray complete with candy shells but had no more room to fit anything in our bellies. I would highly recommend this place if in the area and if not in the area, it's worth the drive! The staff is super friendly and very accommodating. Thanks for a great dinner, I will be back when in town next time read more

Fahrenheit Asian - Spicy Beef and Seafood - #5 So delicious - Asian Fusion Near Me - McLean, Virginia

This place is pretty great. No frills for sure... and the perfect Chinese comfort food, if not a tad bit pricey. I was so intrigued by their unique taste that I dropped by in person to check things out, and discovered that Mom truly was in the back behind a Chinese screen doing all the cooking, while her daughter handled the sales and service side out front... sort of a Pixar Mei and Ming dynamic at this McLean temple dedicated to wonderfully spicy dishes. read more

An authentic Chinese restaurant is not necessarily a good one, and Fahrenheit is a perfect example of that. I came here for dinner with my husband. The server was looking at his tablet when we arrived. He saw us stand at the entrance, gave no recognition, and continued doing whatever he was with that tablet. We stood there for about five minutes before someone finally seated us. My husband ordered the beef hot pot with mild spice level. After 20 minutes or so, the server came with a hot pot, only the color was way too red to be a "mild" spicy broth. The server acknowledged the mistake and said in Chinese, "This is medium spicy. Can you just take this one? It's not that spicy at all." The agreeable husband of mine accepted the offer because he did not want the chef to have to make a new one from scratch. Then we waited patiently for my food (lamb hot pot) to arrive. It was another 20-minute wait. By that time my husband had already started eating and was already dripping sweat from his forehead because the "medium spicy" broth was way out of his league. I liked my lamb hot pot because it was authentic. I could taste the cumin, peppercorn and other spices that reminded me of sichuan food. But I thought the flavor could be easily replicated with a hot pot base such as "little lamb" which is readily available at Chinese supermarkets and HMart. I might come back for their noodle dishes, but I'll probably pick a less busy time and a less agreeable husband. read more

Fahrenheit Asian - I was in the neighborhood and thought I would try this place out. - Asian Fusion Near Me - McLean, Virginia

While the food here is decent, the high prices cannot be justified. I've ordered the beef noodle soup, dumplings, and leek pancake on multiple occasions, and the quality is slightly above home-cooking. Also, portions are small. The level that the restaurant operates at and also the service are very underwhelming. Once, we came for a late lunch, and the restaurant had run out of handmade noodles and clean spoons (we were given plastic spoons instead.) Unfortunately we will be returning because it is the only restaurant we know of in the DMV area that has decent handmade noodles (if you have suggestions, please let me know!) read more

It's a little pricey compared to other hot pot areas in NoVA, but as a McLean resident it's nice to see some good Asian food in town. I really enjoyed the spicy broth, it was very flavorful and actually tasted better than most other hot pot broths I've had in Annandale or Fairfax. They also give you a nice variety of ingredients, though I recommend adding an order of noodles to your hot pot dish since it pairs much better than the rice. Would be 5 stars from me if you could swap the noodles for rice because it goes together much better. read more

I've been here twice and been blown away. The quality of food is always amazing and all hand made. I don't understand any review under 5 stars. If you're not looking for hands down amazing food then don't come. Don't expect a red carpet experience with fancy designs and a DJ. This isn't Tao or Buddakan. Instead this is an authentic Sichuan style chinese, where you won't easily find in most markets. Take your sweet and sour and general chicken cravings elsewhere. Service is great. Food is great, service is great so thanks for bringing amazing food to the area. read more

So, some friend recommended me this place a while ago. And I was just in the area, so I thought about trying it out. The restaurant is pretty small, not busy at all. Waiters are just walking around without actually doing anything. Their menu is written in Chinese with some weird English translation. After sitting down, I asked the cashier lady about restroom. She was like "I don't speak Chinese". So I asked again in English. Then she told me the restroom is 'closed'. I tried to put my order in English: "Can I have a meal #2?" "Where did you order?" "??????? I haven't ordered yet." He walked away. Another guy came to me, took the order. I thought I had to pay right away, as he came with a POS machine in hand. But that wasn't true. You still pay after the meal. I asked the guy again, is there a nearby restroom I can use. The answer was still negative. 20 mins later, my meals still being prepared. Two ladies walked in and asked for the restroom in Chinese. Almost immediately, someone showed up with a chain of keys, told them "there is one in the building on the other side of the street." and hand off the key to the building. Wow...I was just impressed. So I picked up my jacket, asked the waiter to cancel my order and left the restaurant. They watched me walked out of the restaurant without a word. By the time the door shut behind me, I heard someone said "tell the kitchen!" So, I guess it's a feminist restaurant? Males are not served? Should've put that on the banner. In conclusion, 0 star for the service. I don't know about the food, as I was never served with the food. 0 star for the food. As Yelp doesn't allow 0 stars. I guess I'll justify the 1 star for the tap water? Looks like it's drinkable. read more

3 1/2 stars. This nice little restaurant serves noodles and hot pot. I tried both and I personally enjoyed the noodles more than the hot pot. The spicy beef noodles were delicious. The noodle was soft, broth was flavorful and kinda spicy, and the beef was tender. The only thing I wished was that they had more beef per serving. The hot pot was just okay. I tried their seafood hot pot and could tell the seafood wasn't the freshest. The price was fairly inexpensive and the service was fine. read more

Do not order take out/food delivery from this restaurant or you will wait hours to get your food. Not only that, but while waiting for the food for at the restaurant for twenty minutes, multiple patrons came to dine in. these patrons also spoke the language of the person working there, they ordered, got their food, ate and paid and I still waited another 20 minutes. Lady working was also disrespectful and just told me she didn't know how long it was going to take. Mind you, the kitchen is right behind the counter and she kept going back and forth between the kitchen and the counter read more

Inside of this place is much smaller than expected but the food is flavorful. They have a special menu that has more traditional Chinese dishes on it written on a board by the door. If you are wanting more authentic food then try some of their specials. I did not get a chance to try any of them because I did not see it until after I placed the order. My brother and I were originally looking for a noodle soup place and this was recommended by Yelp, but it's not really a noodle soup kind of place. You can add noodle to your hot pot but it's a very small bowl of noodle. I got the seafood pot and my brother got the lamb both mild. It does come with a small bowl of rice, wish the rice portion was a little bigger though. I'm Chinese and grew up basically eating rice with every meal and the amount of rice just wasn't satisfying for me. The soup was very flavorful and pot was packed full of food. It seems like a small pot when it just came out, but it was very filling and is more than it looks. There was shrimp, fish, crab meat, fish balls, and many other things in the seafood pot. Something that was a little off was that I think they were mussels, not very sure, but they were very tiny and I didn't realize they were in my soup until I started scooping around the soup with my spoon. The 'mussels' were very very tiny and it just didn't seem fresh at all, something just seemed off about it. We also order pot stickers after we had ordered our hot pot, but it took them a really long time to get it to us. There was another table that came in after us and I assumed they ordered veggie pot stickers but I think our pot stickers(pork) got sent to their table and the customer and the lady that was serving the food were both confused. A few minutes later our pot stickers were brought to us. Aside for the the confusion, slow service with the pot stickers and the small portion of rice everything tasted wonderful. Price is okay, it is McLean so can't really expect low prices anywhere you go. I would go back to this place if I am in the area. read more

Fahrenheit Asian - Seafood & lamb hot pot - Asian Fusion Near Me - McLean, Virginia

I used to like this place a lot! My passion in this place was gradually worn out by their super slow service and RUDE servers. Finally, I decided that I would never come back here again. As many reviews here had said, the service is SUPER slow. And it's extremely hard to get the attention from servers. Even if you are fortunate enough to grab a server, it would take forever for them to serve what you want! One server here is especially RUDE AND IMPATIENT! Sometimes I even felt like she felt "bothered by me" when I ask for water refill or the burner refile! Once, she was almost YIELLING at me! Then it comes to the quality. I can see clearly their quality is going down! Fewer and fewer meat in the hot pot. And they even don't give you enough burner! In my last visit, the fire was off BEFORE THE MEET WAS COOKED! Of course, I waited another 15 minutes for them to refill my burner, after already waited over half an hour for the hot pot! Last, the price. Only the hot pot is priced fine. We order the double cook pork and some chicken dishes. The portion was very small. But the double cook port is $19! I can get much better quality and quantity of double cook port in other restaurants nearby! To sum up, I would never be back again! I came here to be served, not to be yieled! read more

It seems like more and more of these hot pot places are popping up! I ain't complaining haha. The concept at Fahrenheit is very similar to Little Dipper (opened a couple months earlier). You order the pot you want and it comes out with everything already inside, including the meat. You get a bowl of rice with your order, as well as 3 dipping sauces (chili, garlic, soy). The pot boils for the first 20-30 minutes and then the fire will die out. I ordered the Thai pot, medium spicy. It already comes with pork so unlike Little Dipper, you don't get to choose your protein, all the pots at Fahrenheit are pre-defined. If you like having more options, this place won't have as much flexibility as Little Dipper (where you can also choose between rice and noodles on the side). The flavor here is definitely better though. The soup itself was very well seasoned, although it didn't quite taste as Thai as I'd expected. My friends ordered the Lamb pot and that tasted pretty good too. I thought my medium spicy pot was already super hot so for people who don't eat a lot of spicy foods, I would not go over medium spice levels here. All in all, would definitely come back again to try some of the other pots. The place is quite cozy and small and service is attentive. read more

Wow, what a nice hidden gem! I got lost looking for this place, thinking it would be in a shopping center, but got tricked due to it being inside an office building! If you are looking for a date spot with nice decor and romantic low light, this may not be for you. However, if you are looking for a place with delicious hotpot, with lots of quantity and quality for a great price, this is the place to be. I ordered the #1 Beef and my friend ordered the #5 Thai. The most important thing is the broth and all I can say is, it was yums. You have to try it for yourself. Ended up having to get a carry out container as well, since the quantity was too much. Had it for lunch so with the carry out, ended up having it for dinner as well. read more

I never left a bad review before and I have had some hot garbage before, like when I've literally had roaches crawling on my food, but this place seriously needs to be avoided. I placed an order about two weeks ago, I went to pick it up about 20 minutes later and the lady was on the phone. When I asked about my order she said it wasn't ready without checking the kitchen. She proceeded to talk on the phone without checking the back for about half an hour before she finally went to the back to pack it up and hand it to me. Total process to get my two dishes was 50 minutes long, and the restaurant was empty. Fast forward to today and I decide to give them another chance, I ordered at 5pm, I expect them to be late so I went to run errands, it is now 6pm and I come pick up and see this long line outside the store, about three cars in the middle of the road, and my order that should've been done 30 minutes ago is still not ready (only two dishes). No more Fahrenheit for me. To the owner, hire more staff and staff that actually give a crap about customers. To everyone else, place your orders a day in advance, maybe it'll be ready tomorrow. read more

Yea. This place is delicious. Ordered dumplings and jajangmyeun for lunch. Dumplings are fantastic and the noodles were great. Medium is actually spicy. Definitely a bit pricey, I say it's worth a visit. read more
