This is one of the best deals you'll find for Peking duck. It's only $48 OR $35 if you spend an additional $28. Dine-in and cash only. Peking duck typically costs around $70+ elsewhere. The duck is also pretty good quality. Given the price, it's an amazing value - you can't even get one this cheap at an Asian grocery store. It's freshly prepared & takes about 30 minutes. You really can't find a deal like this anywhere else! I'm bumping this to 5 star for amazing value of the peking duck! read more

My mother-in-law came to visit from California and it was her last day here for the year, so we took her to George's. Food was amazing. We had Peking duck for $35 and had some hotpot, too and some appetizer dishes. We came hungry and left full! Service was great, can't complain! Ambiance was pretty cool for a Chinese themed restaurant. read more

Versatile Chinese restaurant living up to its name. They have tables set aside for barbecue (complete with ceramic table grills and over head ventilation). If not in the mood for it there is a hot pot menu (with table side burners for individual pots with broth that one cooks protein and veggies in). They also have a classic Chinese food menu one orders à la carte, where the dishes are made to order in the staff kitchen. One of the signature dishes is their Peking Duck. We didn't get the Duck, hotpot or bbq this time. Got 3 different entrees: jumbo salt shrimp, fried bean curd with vegetables and spicy chili fish filet. The fish had plenty of chili oil, dried chili, Napa cabbage, wood ear mushrooms, bean thread noodles and scallions accompanying. Was flavorful and numbing. The tofu dish was a solid vegetarian source, with fried soy braised tofu triangles, broccoli, mushrooms s, cabbage and carrots. The best dish is their shrimp. Large prawns with the shells on were fried in salt, pepper and chili powder. The shells were crispy and edible and absorbed the flavoring well. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and succulent. Great place, will need to try other dishes. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Had George's cater an event for us and everyone was talking about the food after. Showed up hot, plenty of it, nothing picked over or dried out. The duck was my favorite. Juicy, good flavor, gone fast. Pork chops were a close second, thick cut and clearly marinated well, soo good~ read more

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. read more

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. read more

The duck was pretty good. Hot pot, although not AYCE was decent. This avoid overeating. The spicy fish was very good. The staff/owners were helpful and super nice. A casual atmosphere. Quite a bit of parking shared with Giant supermarket. read more

We love George's. It's a little quiet but their combos are well priced and you have a very good amount of food. We always end up with leftovers. The staff is so kind and attentive, we always recognize them when we go! The restaurant seems so large but if you take a group of friends you'll never notice. This seems like a really nice place to take groups! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Best korean hot pot and bbq ive ever had here! I love the spicy chicken and the pork belly, i also love how we can get and make our own sauces read more

Came here with a group of friends because we couldn't decide on what to get and it seemed like George's had a variation of everything. Food The food was unexpectedly good. Usually at restaurants where they sell a variety of food types they're either all disappointing or one categories greatly outshines the others. I was specifically surprised at how homemade and decently sized the shrimp paste was! Service There were two employees working when we stopped by. There was an older gentleman and an older woman. The gentleman was very efficient and speedy with bringing out our orders while the lady was friendly and made sure to stop by and check in on us. She even gave us a handwritten coupon at the end of our meal - along with a fruit plate (Asian classic), and warm towels after our meal. I will say the ordering process brought back some Kumon ptsd. Ambiance The decor of the place was all over the place, but that's what made it quirky and unique. It felt like going to your Asian grandparents place. Loved it. read more

Was a bit worried when we walked in because it was completely empty. But the hostess/owner/mom was a delight and ensured we were well taken care of. The place is very clean...a big plus. The food was all very fresh and ample. We had a very good meal. Only minor criticism would be that the broths all seemed like they came out of packages. But I think that's just everyone nowadays. read more

I passed by several times and didn't go in because I thought it was just another hotpot hotspot. I didn't want to try until I saw the promotional poster of Peking Duck in the window. I'm so glad I tried. Spacious, casual and friendly. They offered more than just hot pot; they also served a variety of Chinese dishes and Korean barbecues. Food was great and prices were very reasonable. The portions were big. It is one of the best value restaurant in town. My only complaint: they served all the dishes at the same time. I prefer serving each dish as soon as it is ready. We ordered 4*Peking duck: generous portion, and half the price of other restaurants. We were served with 18 pancakes., sauce, spring onions and cucumber. The duck wasn't cut in front of the customer; however, it was great without the exaggerated fanfare. Great value. 5*Korean BBQ Combo Sliced Beef Bulgogi, Galbi Beef Short Ribs, Sliced Pork Belly, Korean BBQ Chicken, Korean Pickled Radish, Kimchi, Shredded Onion, and rice. For all this food, it costs less than $30. Everything was delicious. 4*Crispy Whole Fish香脆全魚: we were offered of the choices of spicy, regular or braised. We ordered braised. The sauce was really flavorful. The fish had a bit grassy taste. It was inexpensive and the fish was kind of small. We loved everything and we will definitely come back again. read more

Great hot pot place. Efficient service, comfortable seating, individual or communal hot pot available. It has great and pretty affordable hot pot. I like having the all you can eat but really given the amount we consume and the pricing it worked out to be a better deal here. - I would get again: flounder (the best fish I've had at hotpot), napa cabbage, fish tofu, king oyster mushroom, lotus, udon - skip: lamb (cut too thick, too chewy), squid The Peking duck was fine and came With both crispy and skin and meat but I found the sauce a bit too goopy and the wrappers were hard to separate and cold. I'd skip next time. In general it came out too cold. read more

I always come here. ALWAYS! This is the best Hot pot in Montgomery County, MD period. 1. This restaurant ALWAYS have fresh food to put in your hot pot. 2. I have zero complaints. 3. Sometimes you should splurge and treat yourself to a nice lunch or dinner. This place NEVER EVER DISAPPOINT! 4. They have crisply salty shrimp and crabs and it's extremely delicious. You have to ask George about his Chinese menu. 5. I have plenty of pictures to upload but this restaurant is 10/10. 6. Not only is this a hot pot and bbq restaurant. It's actually a very good Chinese restaurant that serves all types of authentic really good Chinese food. read more

First time dining at George's Hot Pot & BBQ restaurant! We dined in on a Sunday evening and were seated immediately. My husband and I ordered 3 meats and half a Peking Duck. I enjoyed the beef bulgogi and my husband preferred the spicy bulgogi. The pork belly was ok. They have a station with sauces. I also enjoyed the Peking Duck with pancakes, plum sauce, cucumbers and green onion. The skin was crispy! Our waitress was very kind. She brought hot towels and orange slices at the end of our meal. Plenty of parking near Giant! This is not all you can eat so pricing can very depending how much you order. read more

Went to George's for New Year's Eve!. I absolutely Love it here! The customer service is always Great and kind and accommodating!. Mrs Diana is truly a pleasant person. Got the usual Hot Pot/Korean Bbq combos, which whatever you don't finish you can take them home. We got the delicious crispy shrimps which was beautifully served, the ambience always low key chill, The sweet tea is sooo Good also the can sodas aren't refillable. Towards the End of our meal we received a special Happy New Year treat which was an array of sweet treats, along with some oranges.

3.5 Stars for George's. Friends have visited and love this place. Weeknight Dinner Review: The place was quiet with only one other table eating when we were eating. The hot pot isn't AYCE like other hot pot places in the area. I ordered fried tofu, watercress, thinly sliced beef, and quail eggs. Everything was a decent portion. My complaint would be the broth (I got George's pork broth) lacked flavor and the thinly sliced meat I ordered was sliced too thick so that when it was cooked, it was tough and chewy. Hubs opted to try their Korean bbq. He said it was ok but nothing special. Everything was good, but not great. I'm not sure if it's worth a repeat for us unfortunately. read more

Easy to locate and lots of parking, as it shares a shopping center with a major grocery chain. As said in previous posts service was speedy and pleasant. Inside is also very spacious so it doesn't feel cramped like some other places. That being said, everything else was pretty much the same as if you were to go else.where The main attraction here is that you can do both hotpot and bbq at the same time. Lastly to note, this isn't an all you can eat joint so the bill can rack up pretty fast depending on how many selections you get. If you know what you like and if they have it here, this might be for you. However, if you want a wide selection, a place with a flare rate might be better. read more

This review is only based on carry-out experiences, but we've ordered from George's a lot of times now and I can't believe we didn't know this place was right under our noses! First, the service is just always incredibly friendly and great. The first time we ordered, we got a little mixed up on which menu items were available for carry-out (aside from the obvious hot pots haha). They were so patient and helpful walking us through the carry-out items over the phone; http://www.georgeshotpotandbbq.com/catalog.aspx?cid=15 refer to the catering menu for a good list. We need to try more because we've gotten completely stuck on the Bulgogi, Beef Short ribs, and Peking Duck. We regularly get Peking duck from some of our old favorites in Rockville down to a place in Tysons near family. George's hands down is some of the best around. We tend to order extra pancakes because the duck is a good size, and when we have family over we usually get two, and still have a little left if we fill up on Bulgogi and rice haha There is tons of surface parking in the shopping center for those dining in. For carry-out orders they are always ready on time and they will let you know when you order if they are busy, so you can make an informed decision if it will be a bit longer than usual to get your order ready haha Very happy to frequent George's and will have to give more of their dine-in menu a try sometime. read more

I came here on a Sunday around noon. The place is relative quiet which was not a a good sign. The service is ok nothing special, we did get a hot towel at the end. It's not an AYCE so I expected the quality to be better but really can't tell the difference. The Broth they refill is just "Bone Broth" I had hope it to be the broth of the same flavor so it won't get diluted since this is not AYCE. Food aside, the restaurant looks very clean and organized, very suitable for family. Not sure if I'd come back since there's probably better options around that area. read more

Enjoyed a dinner with 4 people on a quiet night at the restaurant. Had both the Korean bbq and hot pot. Allow for time to cook the food at your table. Plenty of choices for bbq or soup ingredients and the owner refills your broth to allow you to cook it all. Don't forget to try the sauce bar. Since the cooking is at your table, this isn't a place for small kids. read more

Went there due to the high rating and came away sorely disappointed. This review is strictly for the hotpot, of which there are dozens of choices around the DMV area, and this experience was rather forgettable. Maybe the BBQ is good but seriously go elsewhere for hotpot. First the soup base, which is the heart and soul of the hotpot. I went with the herbal broth and it was miserable. Herbal broth by definition has Chinese herbs in it, and what I had was just two jujube plus a boatload of adlay millet, which completely ruined the broth. Seriously I'm having hotpot and not a Chinese sweet drink (adlay & jujube are the main ingredients in a traditional Chinese "healthy" sweet drink). Next is the lamb, which wasn't as terrible as others but nowhere near as tender as Happy Lamb. The beef was subpar, the pieces were sliced too small and once cooked each slice of meat was the size of a penny or smaller. Service was great, as everyone had commented so I've added a star for that. If you're looking for a hotpot place there are many others that'll be worth your while. read more

First off, the Peking duck is a must here! If you use cash and spend $20 you can get the duck for $35. It's worth it! The Korean bbq was mediocre. Since the meat wasn't really marinated you can't forget to go to the sauce bar to make your own sauce! But the duck really boosted this star rating up. I think I'll try the hot pot next time. The service was amazing! At the end my fiancé was picking at the stove top and the boss man came by and gave him an order of pork belly on the house. So sweet! read more

After dining in multiple times, I have had a drastic change of heart. I'm a huge Korean BBQ fan and there are so many other places in MoCo that have better BBQ. The marinades are better and they offer more banchan. But for hot pot and Peking duck, George's is the place! The hot pot is not all you can eat, but in the end - we usually end up paying the same amount if not less, for the same amount of food we typically eat. Also less options than some of the other hot pot places, but still all the essentials. The spicy tomato oxtail broth is my favorite! They have all your standard sauces and condiments at the bar. The Peking duck is good, especially for the price. Prices are reasonable. Service is good. Our go-to spot these days! read more

George's Hot pot & bbq - Drop it like it's hot. - Hot Pot Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

Currently offering indoor seating and take-out. Take this review with a grain of salt I've only had the peking duck and the cajun seafood platter, so I can't comment on their hotpot or kbbq. However, the hotpot and kbbq is not AYCE - you order per veggie/meat item. Also let them know if you want the cajun seafood menu and not the hotpot. The peking duck was pretty good - price is about what you'd normally expect for Peking duck. The meat was tender and juicy with krispy skin. They give you the wraps in this container that should retain heat, but the skins were room temp at best. The cajun seafood was subpar. We got the house special sauce which was completely underwhelming - it was pretty much butter taste and not much else - only a slight hint of garlic and not spicy at all even though we got "medium" spice. The platter came in this large shallow plate, which of course doesn't help retain heat. The seafood came out room temp (I wanted it at least warm), and the seafood didn't seem that fresh - crab legs seemed like they were frozen (that's fine), but a lot of the shrimp seemed mushy and overcooked so probably reheated. Was not really satisfying for my seafood craving. Chasin' Tails will forever be my standard and this doesn't even come close for seafood. There are even other places with better shrimp around Rockville. Would rather make the far trek to Chasin' Tails for my seafood. read more
