Went in on their grand opening day. I ordered the seafood casserole and peashots with fried dumplings as appetizer. As expected, the food was slow but delicious. Size of the cocktail was generous. read more

Went at 11:30 for lunch today. Unfortunately we will mot be going back. The spring rolls were warm and crunchy but the filling was all cabbage only with no taste at all. The Mongolian Beef was about 8 very small slices of beef with an extra large white onion. Taste was good but way overpriced at $23 for a giant cooked onion. My mom had Walnut Shrimp and it was very good taste wise but was surrounded by a ring of raw broccoli (not steamed or stir fried just raw). Also not worth $23. The service was terrible. Totally inattentive and i went inside to pay when the server left the bill and never came back after we waited 30 minutes. So disappointing. read more

Many dishes had the same sauce Service was good. Staff was friendly and helpful. The food was mediocre. read more

I was highly disappointed with this location, especially compared to other restaurants by the same owner. Service needs serious improvement--aside from one seasoned server, the staff seemed disengaged, making customers wait even for basic things like water. Bussing and table upkeep were also lacking. Our waitress missed many orders and perhaps caused the kitchen to scramble to keep up. Most importantly, dim sum wasn't fresh or high quality. The soup dumplings, in particular, were a letdown--Trader Joe's frozen dumplings would've been better. Overall, this restaurant falls far below the standards of its sister locations. Not sure how much longer this place can last if front of house isn't addressed and quality check on the kitchen. read more

Today it was the first time we went this beautiful restaurant for my mother's birthday. I ignore some people rated this restaurant is negative. For me, the service is excellent, every waiters and waitress are very nice and the place is very pretty. Especially the chefs designed each portion of the dish is very gorgeous. The food is so yummy. My parents are very satisfied with the food of the portion and taste. We will coming back to try another kind of dishes.今日係我哋第一次去呢間靚餐廳慶祝我阿媽嘅生日，我唔理啲人對呢間餐廳嘅評價係負面嘅，對我嚟講，服務非常好，每個侍應同侍應都好好人，而且個地方好靚 廚師設計嘅每一個菜式都好華麗，食物都好惹味，我爸爸媽媽對菜式嘅份量同味道都好滿意. 我哋會返嚟試另一種菜式。 read more

Pretty much disappointed all around. Started with the item I ordered, it was listed at $28 on the menu, but came out as $33 on the bill. Pretty big change. And it wasn't very good frankly, just a pile of meet and some rice. Grade: D My partner's meal looked better, but still seemed like a bunch of spaghetti noodles. Didn't share so I don't know the taste. I saw more than once when the wait staff delivered wrong food to a table. Didn't happen to us, but did happen. Décor is adequate. The chandeliers are very nice, the hard floor means a bit noisy, and the stage is still around from previous spot. I thought it was brand new, and would be willing to try again in a few months. But I wouldn't make a special effort to choose this place. And as I see older reviews, seems like this is the norm, they aren't getting better. read more

Great food! Portions are very generous and taste is very good - not too salty but still very tasty. The staff were so friendly and kind enough to let our mom group stay longer past closing. We all loved the food, service, and the ambiance. Highly recommend. read more

Ever since hearing this place was coming to Rio, my wife and I were looking forward to coming for dim sum. We were not disappointed at all. The interior decor is nice but perhaps more open than I expected, so it lacks some coziness one might want, but everything looks good regardless. The layout would certainly encourage the use of rolling cart dim sum, but at least currently it is done via menu order. You can order ala carte or choose an unlimited (up to two hour) tasting menu featuring all of the dim sum, soups, rice & noodles, and appetizers -or- an option that lets you sample all that plus the entrees as well. We were seated immediately and service was quick and pleasant throughout, with the menu and options explained as we needed. For this trip, we didn't have long enough to make the sampling menu be worthwhile, so we ordered a plate or two at a time off the dim sum menu. Everything was excellent, the steamed items came immediately as there were some always at the ready. The fried items were made to order and came out hot and gorgeous. The star of the show is the stuffed crab claw, which is visually stunning as well as flavorful and easily the most filling item we sampled. We will be returning soon! read more

I had a wonderful time, the decor is lovely and whimsical, and the food came out quickly and hot. The small lady behind the bar can make a mean drink! read more

I have no idea why these reviews are so low from others. The food is excellent. The service is A1 and they are so wonderfully hospitable. I would recommend this restaurant to any and everyone who wants an all you can eat dim sum restaurant. Please support them they are full of smiles, laughter, and warmth. The restaurant has a beautiful layout with a really nice view of the boardwalk and water out back. Come and enjoy as I did and ride the paddle boats the help with those calories. read more

I had such high hopes for this place. I walk in and the decor is beautiful. It's really nice for a Chinese restaurant since most of them are not know for their decor. The staff was attentive and made recommendations. Now for the food. It was meh. For $38, I expected a lot more. It's really salty and it's not even authentic. It's Americanized Chinese food. This is not real dim sum. It is not worth $38. Go elsewhere. read more

Food is great and the place is beautiful. The menu is so big you have to come multiple times. I've had the dim sum and brunch on separate occasions. Dim sum is unlimited on weekdays! Great authentic cuisine. Service is ok. read more

Han Spot is all style and no substance. They have a beautiful spacious interior but everything about it screams money grab for people who don't know what real dim sum is supposed to taste like. I am 99% sure their pan fried dumplings are the Korean Beef Bulgogi Mandu by Bibigo, available at Costco (I actually love these frozen dumplings but that is beside the point); you can tell from the Japchae/glass noodles inside and the "liquid smoke" meant to imitate beef bulgogi--these have no place in a dim sum dumpling at a Chinese establishment. Knowing this, you start to question the authenticity and freshness of anything and everything on the menu--if a dim sum restaurant is cutting corners on dumplings, how far are they willing to go? read more

Very much enjoy having Hanspot in Rio!! The cuisine is very consistent and Delicious! Large restaurant with great ambiance. Service is super with Ryan and Mandy always providing exceptional service! Highly recommend as we've enjoyed on many occasions. read more

Just tried this resturant for lunch today. First, it was almost completely empty which was a bit strange. Then we had the dim sum, which was lacking in quality and flavor. The soup dumplings are better frozen from trader Joe's. With all the great places to go in Montgomery county, I'd stay away from this one read more

My husband and I had dinner at Han Spot for the first time. We had their eat all you can menu A which is mostly dimsum. We loved everything! We ordered their pork shumai, garlic spareribs, salt & pepper chicken, soup dumpling, pork bun, spring roll and sesame balls. Everything was delicious! We will definitely be back! It was worth it. The servers were very nice and the place was very cozy. read more

Was excited to try the new place. Dim Sum is my favorite go-to, but this was very average, if not a bit below. The rest of the dishes while decent, were nothing I'd return for. The place is large, but the layout is a bit weird. Not sure the type of look they are going for. They are also severely understaffed and uncoordinated. The mains came out within minutes, and the dim sum came at the very end after a long time when we had finished our food, and after reminding the server several times. Getting the drinks right would almost make you give up on the drinks. Hostess was not to friendly either. Not coming back read more

Saw this spot featured on Instagram. I forget his name, but he gave his "STAMP" of approval. So I had to check it out. I will speak on the ambiance first. It's a new place, but it isn't lively. Place should have at least music playing or something. I wasn't used to such a quiet place. The service was ok. For an all you can eat and drink place, I would expect the service to be more attentive. I got the feeling like they didn't want to be there. For example, they were kick to give us the bill and our time wasn't even up yet. We still had 30 minutes left from the time we sat. Another example is that they took their sweet time providing us drinks. Anyway, if you have been to a dim sum spot, you know what to expect as far as food. The food was very good. My only complaint is the ribs. I don't know what that was, but beef it was not. It was too rubbery. I am not a fan of duck, but the duck was the best I've ever had. The dessert buns were excellent. The fried rice lacked a bit of flavor, so I asked for their spicy sauce, and that helped. The drinks were ok. Not strong, but not weak either. As u stated earlier, they were being real stingy with the drinks. I will give this spot another chance, because it's new, maybe they are trying to get their bearings. I will definitely be back and hopefully they have music playing. read more

Food came out slow but tasted like any other dim sum spot nearby. Forced gratuity (for a table of 3!! when the menu says auto applied for a table of 6) which annoying to pay after the lack of good service we got read more

I ordered all you can eat option A. There are not many choices for dim sum. Their pan fried chicken and beef dumplings are the dumplings from Costco which brand name is Bibigo. I ate Bibigo beef and chicken dumplings so many times and their pan fried dumplings taste exactly same as the frozen Bibigo dumplings. Their serving speed is slow and when I asked for a check, a lady who seems like an owner approached to us and looked through all dish and it seems like she is checking whether there is any leftover. It is understanding since it is their policy but it is also very unpleasant at the end. I usually don't eat much but I could eat 9-10 dishes so, the price is not bad but their dumplings taste like they heated twice not freshly made. Some dim sum were dried. I would never tried their dim sum all you can eat. read more

Screw this place. They won't be here long. Booked a birthday party for 10@1pm. They booked two large parties and only have one big table. We were there first with all of the party but two, who were a couple minutes behind and they gave the table to the other party. Will never go back. I left my party to fend for themselves and went home as I will not give a dollar to a place like this. read more

Fabulous ambience and great service! Chicken and veggie dumplings taste good and much better than the fried .Scallion pancakes,Kung pow chicken and general tso chicken were all good. Would be nice to have a separate kids menu . Highly recommend this place and would love to try other dishes during my next visit read more

Have been meaning to try this place after seeing it for a while. Me and my friends decided to finally give it a try. I ordered the Seafood fried rice with dry scallop. It was pretty good. I wouldn't say it was anything crazy though, pretty tasty. I also ordered the Mango green tea. It was really yummy and had star jellies in it. Presentation was really cute too, I even got to keep the cup. It was 8$ though which wasn't too great considering the small size. The service was really good, our server was really nice and attentive. All our meals got to us really fast. The ambiance was really nice too. I would give this whole experience a 7.5/10. read more

My husband and I were excited to finally try Han Spot for their AYCE dimsum. We came in Saturday night, and we were sat fairly quick. The menus were presented, and we tried to order the AYCE dim sum but were told they don't do that on the weekends. We decided to order the following: Chrysanthemum tea Pork spare ribs Spicy wontons Pork shumai Chicken feet Peiking duck (half) We received the ribs, shumai, and chicken feet fairly quickly. It was all room temperature. I had to remind the waiter for our tea twice. Once we finished the first 3 dishes, we waited about 20 minutes for the tea to finally come out. The duck came out at about 15 mins after the tea. The duck funally came out and was also room temperature. The duck skin was not crispy. The tea was warm and not hot. We never got the spicy wontons either. All in all, we were very disappointed. We drove an hour for this and was not worth it. The location of being at the Rio lakefront was what saved our night. Overall... The ambiance was nice. The service was slow. The turnover of tables was so slow. The bathroom was decently clean. The location is great. Food was 5.5 out of 10. The flavor was there but wished it was hot and fresh. If I lived close, I would give it another try, but it's not worth the hour drive for me. read more

Very good food and very good service. The atmosphere is excellent. Very roomy and comfortable seating. Love the Cantonese Hong Kong style Chinese food! read more

DO NOT COME HERE. Service is terrible, food is okay. Rude and nasty atmosphere. I was so disappointed.

It is a very ambiance! The food is really good, but unfortunately we felt rushed during our dining experience. The place was empty yet they were hurrying us to finish. Hopefully next time it will be better. read more

We ordered several entrees along with various dim sum dishes. The dim sum tasted on par with other dim sum restaurants in the area. Other entrees food quality was fairly good. Peking duck was passable only because we've tasted better elsewhere. Overall cost was higher than average, so don't be shocked by the final bill depending on what you ordered. The location was good and the service was adequate considering they just opened this month. read more

Delicious Dim Sum (you can do the "all you can eat" or by "a la carte")!!! I had a yummy floral cocktail - Golden Phoenix. Interior is large and well decorated. There's a large karaoke screen (can be a bit loud if you sit next to the speakers) that was fun to sing along too. Only issue was that it took a while to flag down a server when we were ready to check out. Can't wait to go back and give more dishes a try. read more

My family and friends had a wonderful fun dinner at the newly opened restaurant. We had a large party of 11 and were able to all squeeze in a large table. We tried Dim Sum dishes as well as Peking duck and fried rice and vegetables. We also enjoyed the $20 bottomless cocktails. Our server was fast, friendly, and efficient. Overall the prices weren't bad and food overall was good. I would definitely come back again. read more

To be fair, I can't say anything about the food. Because we never got that far. We had a party of six and we were seated immediately. There were other large tables in the room that must have just been vacated because they were completely full of dishes. The table they sat us at was dirty and still had pieces of rice on it, but we figured maybe they were just short on bus boys. We sat there for 30 minutes before someone came over to us and told us that they would bring us water. 10 minutes later someone put two water carafes on our table. We watched two different people walk over to a waiter with their check. I guess they were waiting at their table, but no one ever came. After 45 minutes no one had ever come by our table so we left. Not sure what is going on there but it's not good. I've heard their food is good so I hope to one day try it when they get their act together. read more

Decide to give this new place a try even though friends & reviews are negative. So disappointed !!!! The foods took forever to come out, we ordered the ginger lobster & some pieces were FROZEN yes you read it right FROZEN!!! Portions were tiny. Forget about their services - VERY slow & BAD & they have the audacity to charge 20% gratitude on the bill. We left so ANGRY & HUNGRY. Please owner go back to take class 100 management before you think it's ok to open a restaurant without training your staffs & your chefs !!!! Giving 1 star rating is very generous. This should be minus star. read more

Shrimp dumplings were cold in the middle. Food was a solid 2/5. Smelled like sour water through the entire space. And super over expensive. Maybe go to China Garden instead? read more

Have been here two times now and experienced excellent food and good service both times. We went for the all you can eat option. We ordered a ton of food, which had to remove the waiter of one or two dishes, but being we ordered a dozen things, I'm not upset by it at all. The food was all delicious and came out in a timely manner. The decor was also very light and inviting. This will definitely before a regular spot for us read more

The food was delicious!! I'm truly impressed by how great everything tasted. The enoki mushrooms were to die for!! The service was excellent, the staff were very attentive and friendly. It was a la carte style which I loved. The ambiance was pleasant and lovely to look at. They even had a big screen playing music videos with lyrics which made it an overall fun experience! Definitely look forward to coming back!! read more

New cute spot... however food was terrible and service was average at best. Overpriced and every dish we ordered was terrible! My family and I have always gone to New Fortune (now named Hong Kong Pearl in Gaithersburg for 20+ years and that place is WAY BETTER (save your money and go there!!) The crab fried rice is all cute and fancily presented in a gold crab but there was barely any crab and the rice was bad. The portion sizes are small and only 3 pieces are served per dish... Overall, would rate this 1/10 and we're not coming back. read more
