We've been going to George's for a few years. They serve the best Peking duck. This is family owned restaurant that is set up for large groups as well as small families. Both George & his wife are wonderful people. Staff is always welcoming. I also noticed many other customers love their hot pot & the family style table grills. We come from Chinese backgrounds with years in the bbq deli grocery & restaurant industry. My family cooked & sold traditional Chinese roast duck, roast chicken, bbq pork, & whole roasted pigs for 4 generations. We are very picky about these items. So take our word as a former Chinatown expert, Georges Peking Duck is the real deal. My family loves their flounder filets & fresh vegetables.

This is the kind of place you want to frequent and become a regular. The service here is a second to none. The owners here are also waiters and I've seen them take great care not only of us, but other guests too. The food here is also amazing. The Peking duck here is some of the best in the area- the wraps are soft and the duck is delicious. The grilled meat they have here is of really high quality as well. 10/10 I would recommend!

Went to George's Hot Pot on a rough day and honestly left feeling a lot better. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, the ingredients were fresh, and everything came out flavorful. I tried a variety of items for hot pot along with the Peking duck, which ended up being one of the highlights of the meal. What really stood out to me was the hospitality. The hostess took the time to show me how to properly eat the Peking duck, which made the experience feel welcoming instead of intimidating. Service was attentive throughout the night, and overall it was a really comforting dining experience. Definitely a spot I keep coming back to.

How I felt after eating here, :O

Pro: big parking lot, clean interior. Con: low staffing, confusing menu, not AYCE, poor service. Came here on a Saturday at lunch time and there was only two other party already eating in this fairly large restaurant. We came for the hotpot potion only at the restaurant. Usually we go to hotpot city or urban hotpot in Rockville but wanted to try a new place. Upon entering there was no host at front so we had to wait a few minutes to be seated. This restaurant seems to be run by a mom and pop so the staffing was run only by two people. After being seated we were given a menu with no explanation then given another menu for a combo hotpot platter where you can choose from a set list of food. It is very disappointing that it is not all to can eat (AYCE) but a pay per food type of establishment. With the price of 25 dollar for a limited amount of food, I could have gone to hotpot city paid 35 dollar for dinner and have AYCE style so that I can get more bang for my buck. After checking the food I wanted the meal come out and it not even the items I ordered. I put that I want udon noodle and potatoes but I got ramen noodle and corn. Another con is the staff didn't check in to see how we were doing much. The sauce bar was very limited with no offer of any appetizer or fruits. All in all, I had high hope after seeing all the many positives reviews on yelp and google but maybe it got so many good reviews based on the Chinese food or bbq. The only thing I got here was disappointment like when an Asian parent see that their kid got a B grade on the report card. Chalk this restaurant to a one and done.

1/2 Peking Duck ($22.99)

3.14.25 Several months ago, I saw a Clipp deal (similar to Groupon) for $30 worth of food, which I paid $15 for. Today I came with my friend. For apps, I ordered a small wonton soup and I split fried coconut, shrimp and red bean pancake with my friend. I ordered the pork bulgogi for my entrée, and she ordered the spicy chili fish fillet. The apps were average to below average, but we enjoyed our entrées. The coconut shrimp was only mildly flavored and the texture is not what I am accustomed to for coconut shrimp. We both agreed that the broth for the wonton soup was bland. Additionally, the red bean pancake was cold and bland as well. I was expecting it to be sweeter. My pork bulgogi was tender and flavorful, and the jasmine rice was moist and perfectly chewy. My friend said her fish was a bit planned, but then after a while, she actually enjoyed it and liked that it wasn't salty since she is watching her sodium. Our server was very friendly and hospitable. I'm not sure if she is the owner. My only complaint is that they didn't specify in the Clipp deal that there is a minimum purchase of $45. Fortunately, I went with my friend because I don't think I would've spent $45 on my own. Additionally, it excluded the lunch combo. I didn't enjoy the food (the apps that we tried) as much as my initial visit so I am inclined not to return.

Crispy Whole Fish and General Tso's Chicken
Thi H.

Tried this restaurant for the first time and it did not disappoint. We ordered the Peking Duck, General Tso's Chicken, and Crispy Whole Fish. The Peking Duck was delicious and well priced compared to other restaurants. In order to get the special duck price, you did have to order other dishes totaling $20 or more and lunch specials do not count. I would come back for the duck. It was tasty and the whole duck was more than enough for 3 adults to share. The General Tso's Chicken was delicious. You actually tasted white meat chicken vs it just being fried dough. I would 10/10 recommend. The Crispy Whole Fish had good flavor, but I wouldn't order it again. It was a bit on the fishy side - didn't taste fresh. We were probably the only ones dining during lunch so service was quick. At the end, we were brought orange slices and hot towels to wipe our hands. The restaurant had plenty of seating and well kept.

Great Chinese food. We got duck, grilled fish, and general tso chicken. Service was quick and there wasn't a lot of people there and environment had a bunch of tables that catered to hotpot. We choice the regular menu.

Recently came here for a friend's birthday for a Sunday lunch. It was really nice that they organized. Pretty convenient spot with plenty of parking because it shares the space with a lot of other shops including a Giant. Unlike other hot pots, it wasn't an all you can eat, instead they do a set menu. The set menu was $25 and they said for the holidays they were offering a deal of buy 3 get the 4th one free. We had a party of 7-8, so that was actually perfect for us. Each pot comes individually out with different foods. I was sad they didn't have enoki mushrooms anywhere on the menu, but all the other items were pretty good. My base broth was the spicy pork cabbage which wasn't that spicy. The standouts of my set were the lamb meat and the taro. They did give you options of fried tofu, seafood mushrooms, and other greens which was also nice to mix in. There was a generous amount of food for the set, even so it was pretty hard to finish it at the end. It truly was split into different sections that you could choose 2-3 items from like 2 meats and 2 seafood items, 3 vegetable items, etc. You can also make your own sauce bar on the side, which was really nice. As our dessert, they served us orange slices which was a great way to cleanse. I definitely took a nap afterwards from the food coma. Highly suggest also ordering the duck. It was delicious. I don't think we had enough cash, but they do offer a deal on the duck if you pay the check in cash, we unfortunately didn't, so we just ended up paying full price for it. It was cooked quite well with a crispy outer layer and soft moist inner layer. They even had a separate container for the rice wrappers to keep them warm. Overall, quite delicious and you'll definitely want to order the duck, so suckling.

I came here by myself to have the meat and seafood lunch special which was a 10/10, the servers are so nice and i enjoy speaking with them, the pork bone broth is so good but sometimes its a little watery but its only happened 1-2 :,)

I just had the best Peking Duck in Montgomery County! We celebrated Valentine's at George's tonight and ordered the whole Peking Duck special along with Szechuan Green Beans and Pork with Garlic Sauce. This was our first time at this location and the duck had really crispy skin and so much meat! The skin was perfect and the meat was juicy. George certainly knows how to prepare a duck and the best part is that he does duck at half the cost of everyone else. It came with the works (see pic) and we both thoroughly enjoyed our meal; like a Chinese fajita but wayyyy more yummy! For those folks that remember Peking Cheers back in the 90s, well it's the same gentleman and his lovely wife that used to run the duck specials there. George is so gracious and kind. We chatted it up for a bit and he made us feel very welcomed. So glad that we met them again and we will certainly be back for more duck and explore more of the menu. We will try the hot pot and korean bbq as well next time but the duck is a winner. Most of the other diners were enjoying the hotpot which looked great, but I caught several folks around us eyeing our duck haha. You should give it a try!

$13.99 lunch special
Fabian M.

Their lunch combo is $14.99 now. Food and service is still good. Older lady serving us was very sweet and told us what we can get with our Clipp certificate. Portions were plenty and you will not go home hungry!

Always great service and food! One place we have to come to when we are in town. Thank you Amy for always making our family meals a wonderful one!

They have a lunch AYCE small plate and dim sum special. It includes a lot of my favorite dishes like the spicy dry fried bamboo fish, crystal shrimp dumplings, shumai, and black sesame egg yolk bao. Along with this, they also offer drink specials. For dinner we always get the bubble pancake, the spicy fish, a veggie, and scallion fried rice. They also offer peking duck specials around Lunar New Year. When we don't feel like leaving the house, we order in. It travels pretty well too!

I had hubby go inside to check on the wait, and fortunately, there were still two tables available. They offer an AYCE dim sum menu, but we decided to order from the regular menu instead. We ordered the following: * Half Peking Duck * Combo Lo Mein * Mama's Basil Eggplant * Osmanthus Honey Pork Ribs * Salt & Pepper Crunch Shrimp * Lemoncello Crispy Chicken Food: My favorite dish was, of course, their renowned Peking duck! Peter Chang's duck has been recognized as a James Beard Awards finalist. If you're a fan of Peking duck, this is a must-try. This was my parents' first visit, and my mother appreciated that the food wasn't too salty. The Combo Lo Mein was listed as containing shrimp, chicken, and beef, but I barely saw any chicken or beef. It was mostly noodles, which was disappointing. Service: Our server was friendly, but I wish he had checked on us more frequently. At one point, I had to ask another server to flag him down because we had two requests. On the positive side, I appreciated that he brought us extra napkins without being asked. Value: Given the portions of the tapas and small plates, I thought the prices were a bit steep. At other Chinese restaurants, you could get a full-sized entrée for close to the same price. Final Thoughts: Appetizing dishes, friendly service, and a great option for Peking duck lovers, albeit a bit pricey for the portions. Overall, we enjoyed our visit!

Was feeling hangry because I had planned on stopping at Hard Times for a bowl of chili -and found out they were closed on Mondays. So, pretty much pulled a name out of a hat and would up at Chuan Tian Xia because, well, Szechuan cooking uses chiles, no? Yesssss! I ordered Signature Dumplings and a bowl of Beijing-style Beijing-style Zhajiang Noodles. The dumplings were outstanding: a mix of shrimp, pork, and chive that were plump, juicy, fragrant with the herbaceous flavor of chives. The accompanying sauce was not too sweet, not too hot, just right as a complement to the dumplings. Yowza. I was a happy camper... ...and then I dug into my noodles. Double yowza! Thick wheat noodles topped with a rich sauce made from (I think) fermented soybean paste and braised pork belly, garnished with cucumbers. The portion was way to big for me to eat after my flight, but I really, really enjoyed it (and the remaining dumplings) for lunch today. Did I say yowza? I'm an adventurous eater so the menu's less Americanized items were what I would have ordered given more time (like Maoxuewang: can you say "pig's tongue, spam, pork intestine, and beef tripe"? Protein is protein, baby!). Just means I need to come back, and I will, as quickly as I can.

Some pretty outstanding fish soup. Don't let yourself get fooled by the slightly random /…read morenonsensical name (even the Chinese name makes no sense to me -- what on earth does "no second / two house / family" mean?); B2J Fish Soup is home to one some of the best authentic Chinese food in the DMV. As the name implies, they specialize in fish soup, particularly a hot and sour pickled fish soup (suan cai yu) that originates from Sichuan. This dish was one of my childhood favorites, and B2J did an incredible job crafting a deeply flavorful soup that transported me right back to my family's kitchen. The soup is served in the largest bowls I've ever seen and absolutely loaded with pickled veggies and tender, flaky fish that completely soaks up all the spicy and sour flavor. I appreciate that the soup isn't overly spicy or salty, so it's possible to drink the actual soup instead of just fishing out its fillings, and it goes great with the side of white rice. Their meal combo options also come with several appetizers of choice so, in addition to the delightful suan cai yu, we also got the fried milk custard and wood ear mushroom salad. The salad was super refreshing, with a great crunch from the wood ear mushrooms and red onions. The dressing was mostly vinegar and chili-based, so it was sour, spicy, salty, and slightly sweet. It was a delightful precursor to the spicy and sour fish soup, and the leftovers also kept incredibly well over the next couple of days. The fried milk custard was a great appetizer but made an even better dessert; the milk was gooey and melty, and the fried outer shell was perfectly crispy. It was such a delightful combination of flavors and not overly sweet. This hidden gem is quite quaint, but they managed to fit a decent amount of seating inside, with several long tables lining each side of the restaurant and a narrow aisle in between. The seats are comfy and, while the tables are quite close together, there's still enough space to feel like you have a bit of privacy / separation from the other diners. I love the little bamboo light fixtures, and one of their back walls has a little semi-circle design that looks like fish scales, adding to the fun, fish-themed ambiance.

We loved the classic flavor- just enough spicy ( plenty enough for me), to make it not overwhelm the fish and still has a good kick. We did try their spicier one - that was too much spicy in our opinion, but the level of spiciness is a personal preference. Their non- spicy tomato base is also very good! The fish itself- not fishy at all. Very fresh, goes very well with the soup. The sauerkraut is very flavorful and enhances the experience well, not overpowering anything. It all goes in harmony to creat a great experience! Loved their cold spicy chicken as an appetizer and the cucumber salad with peanuts were very well received. And one more thing - their rice - is SO good! Yeah, odd thing to specifically mention rice of any Asian restaurant- this is my first as well! But their rice was just that good!
