    Well-priced, great deals (especially with the app), healthy fare, and respectful service. Order on app, at kiosk, or at register. Place is clean and accessible - though no handicap button on front doors.

    Rapid Pickup shelves

    This Panera location is great! There's no dedicated free parking but there are garages nearby. The interior was clean and well maintained. I placed an order for Rapid Pick-Up, but there was a sign that said to go to the cashier. One of the food prep employees was super friendly and asked me the name for my order and I told him and he handed me my food. I dined in. My Mediterranean veggie sandwich tasted great---fresh, made just as I had requested with the extras included, and simply delightful! The ambiance was also enjoyable. Music playing, ample natural sunlight. Plenty of seating including booths, tables, and armchairs. The men's bathroom was clean, the dining room floors were actively being vacuumed, an employee was proactively collecting finished plates and trash, and all employees seemed to be loving their jobs. Great all-around experience!

    I was seriously procrastinating about doing any kind of work today, even though I really needed to catch-up with my current project. I remembered that this restaurant provides a co portable place to work or just chill out. So far after being here for a half hour, I still have only been chilling. Perhaps today just isn't my day to do much. I ordered a cave latte hoping that this would give me so e energy, but with little luck so far. Did I mention that the booth chairs here are extraordinarily comfortable? I likenit here because nobody really bothers you, and the restaurant music level is reasonable. The latte is perfect, and I am starting to think that working 6 days a week is the problem. Or perhaps two lattes would do the trick?

    I wouldn't eat this apple. Even after washing, it still had that white stuff on it.

    Got a turkey avocado sandwich that was pretty decent. It wasn't cut in half like it usually is. It was fine but the apple really is not something I would want to eat. Even after washing it, which I shouldn't be required to do, it's still has this white stuff on it and miss shaped with some bruises. I thought Panera should do better for an apple.

    I ordered a catered breakfast for a staff meeting consisting of 68 people. Ally delivered the breakfast. I was impressed that she was punctual as the campus for my employer is big. I liked that they delivered the breakfast in extra large reusable plastic totes. I saved them for future meetings in case there are leftovers I can transport them back to the office. For breakfast I ordered: -several bundles of the pastries and bagels -several fruit bowls -tea -coffee -orange juice -bottled water When Ally put the food out I was informed that they do not provide a tray for the bagels. It came in a paper bag. I was a bit shocked and disappointed that they do not provide the bagels in a more presentable fashion for a catered event. It would be challenging to see the bagels in the bag to make a selection. Additionally, it would also be unsanitary as a person may touch multiple bagels to get the one s/he wants. Fortunately, Ally, came up with a creative solution and suggested I use the lids of the pastry to lay out the bagels. For the fruit bowls, I asked Ally if they provided a serving spoon and she informed me that they ran out. This was disappointing as my colleagues had to use a regular size plastic spoon or fork to get a scoop of fruits which would take a long time. I ordered three bowls which was enough for 30 people and only one bowl got eaten completely. Between using the bagel bag for a catered event and not having enough supplies on hand, it left me with a bad impression. I was also shocked that an individual bottled water cost $1.99 for 16.9 oz. I'm sure that's standard at most establishments, but that's still really pricy. It cost $80 for 40 bottles. Had I not had far to carry the water around on campus, I would have bought it at the grocery store for less than $10. The highlight of the breakfast for me was the service provided by Ally and the quality of the food. I really enjoyed the chocolate croissant and Asiago bagel. They were both very fresh. My colleagues seen to enjoy it and all the pastries were gone and there were only a few bagels left.

    Cheddar Broccoli Soup
    Kyla A.

    Perfect day to stop into Panera for some stemming hot soup. I ordered the cheddar broccoli soup for my sister and I which come with a side of bread. My daughter got the macaroni kids meal with a yogurt that she gobbled up with ease. The manager on duty Ezell was so nice and enthusiastic about assisting us with ordering it made the dine in experience all the more comfortable and relaxing. The place was clean and even though it was crowded it wasn't loud at all. Overall great location, food, and staff.

    Green Goddess Cob Salad/squash soup
    Kevin D.

    Wonderful Lunch Experience! I visited (12/14/18) wanting a quick lunch; Before attending a nearby appointment. I was apprehensive of wait as I arrived about 12:48pm. I found a seat immediately-thought the Place was full. Checking the menu choices, choices, I noticed No less than 3 employees taking orders. I placed my order The "You Pick Two" Selecting "squash soup" & "green goddess salad w/chicken." (See Photo) By the time I sat down about 5 minutes my Buzzer when off-my order was ready. The order was correct. The salad greens, avocados fresh, The chicken tender, The soup hot, creamy. The meal Delicious! The dining area clean. Excellent customer service!

    Teriyaki bowl- delivered barely half full
    Lina S.

    Ordered a teriyaki bowl among other things and it came barely half full. $10 for not even the whole meal. This was a delivery meal done thru the app. Not ordering from this location again- I'll pay the extra for delivery from Gaithersburg if it means I get all my food.

    Chipotle Chicken Avocado (Sandwich)

    I think is fair to look around and see all options before you go to eat out, it could be breakfast, lunch or dinner. Well, Panera at Rockville is a good place to stop by they have a pretty good menu. The franchise does a really good job caring their customers I believe every member get a good benefits form signing with them. (I do as a member) But, Panera in Rockville used to be great, more clean and organized, now every table is so sticky, this morning I try to get sitting and three tables in a row have crumbs everywhere. It's not good at all, due that the stablished is pretty and brand new. But, honestly I like how they keep the coffee area that's a good change to me. 4 stars cuz the franchise really cares it members.

    I think this is only my second time ever visiting any Panera Bread and was looking forward to the day this location was being opened - giving what seems to be more lunch options to choose from. I went with a few friends on the day this location opened and the first thing that caught our attention was how big the place is - very spacious. What you see first to your left is a lot of cookies, muffins, pastries and the likes and above it all are the menus. We visited in the morning and so the breakfast menu was up. I had the Sausage, Egg & Cheese breakfast sandwich which is described as Egg, Vermont white cheddar and sausage with salt and pepper on Ciabatta. Yes, it looks like it was put together and heated (see pic), but I enjoyed eating it. My friends each got Soufflés - the Spinach, Mushroom & Sofrito and the Spinach & Artichoke and they both loved theirs saying it was so good and that they are looking forward to going back again. Since there are so many choices to pick from, it is best to get an idea of what you want before going into the store or you can always order online and just pick it up - they have a pick-up area for that (located to the right of the cashiers). They have Breakfast Sandwiches, Bagels, Oatmeal, Yogurt, Fruit, Soufflés, Drinks including Coffee, Tea, Smoothies and other stuff, Soups, Panini, Broth Bowls, Salads, Flatbreads and Pasta. Like I said, it is great to have some better lunch and breakfast choices in this area and I am looking forward to my next visit already.

    Thanks for the extra burnt sandwich

    If you're ordering to go (rapid order) make sure you check your order is correct and complete. They often make mistakes and mess up your order. The manager is always very courteous, apologizes and corrects your order.

Happy to see his nood soup still killing it and winning awards. Order the #1. Add some chili oil. Try a side or two. That's all you need.

I got the Scallion Oil Noodles - chewy, hand pulled noodles in a smooth oil dressing. Pair it with the chili oil kimchi for a nice contrasting crunch. My favorite, however, was the Tofu with Century Egg Salad - a small bowl with cubes of soft tofu and quartered century egg and chili oil. Lots of textures and tastes thrown into a tiny little bowl. Be careful - as proof that this place is authentic, their "vegan" vegetable tofu noodle soup is served in beef broth. But once you hammer out the details of the ingredients, the taste is worthwhile. Plenty of others feel the same way - we arrived when they just opened for the day, so we got a seat, but by the time we left, there was a line out the door. If you haven't tried Chopin Noodle House yet, you're missing out!

But I gotta say, my all time favorite dish is the cucumber salad. OMG I could eat it all day everyday. It is just so perfectly seasoned, spicy, refreshing, ugh I loveeee it. The hand pulled noodles are always so good. We've had the noodle soup which is also so good. Literally everything they make is good And besides Bobs Shanghai, I am certain these are the best xiaolongbao I've had in MOCO! They are BIG, juicy, soupy, meaty and so yummy. I don't like that they always forget to give us the vinegar sauce but we ask for it anyways. Highly recommend!!

    The pork buns alone are worth the order…read more Got this delivered via Uber Eats and honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm glad I took the chance. Ordered the beef combo knife slice noodle soup, pork soup dumplings, pork wontons with homemade spicy sauce, and the pan fried pork buns. The pan fried pork buns were the clear MVP here, perfectly crispy on the outside with that satisfying crunch, but soft and fluffy inside. Super filling too, which is always a win in my book. The beef noodle soup was solid comfort food with good portions, and the dumplings hit the spot. Only minor thing - I wished the "spicy sauce" had more kick to it. Could've used some extra heat, but that's me being picky. For the price and portion sizes, this place delivers (pun intended). You're getting a solid amount of food that actually tastes good. Would definitely order again, and those pork buns are going to be a repeat item for sure.

    Ruta Ukrainian Restaurant…read more What a lovely introduction to Ukrainian food. We began with their appetizers and it was uphill all the way. Not only is their food prepared to delight but each dish was visually appealing that elevated our whole experience. I would recommend arriving for an early dinner and making reservations. There is metered parking on the road or paid parking structures not too far away. The restaurant is cozy with a welcoming atmosphere. Well appointed tables and an important part...comfortable chairs. Splashes of color and decor reminded us of their proud Ukrainian heritage. Service from the staff was well coordinated, friendly and never intrusive. I felt I was being fed a family's long standing recipes of traditional specialties. The condiments, creamed sauces or microgreenery complimented each individual dish. Even a simple dinner roll was elavated by its absorption of garlic oils and a house made spread. We tried the Varenyky dumplings with sauerkraut filling and one with short ribs. The Deruny (potato pancakes) were delicious layered with sour cream and a portion of a tasty mushroom mixture. Some items are marked gluten free or vegetarian. Our main entrees were Banosh with pieces of bacon, goat cheese with a polenta cake, the other Banosh Vegetarian also came with a Ukrainian polenta cake, a Mushroom Mixture and goat cheese. My daughter tried the Chicken Kyiv with mashed potatoes which was also very delicious. This memorable meals was complete with their award winning honey cake, moist layers of cake and creamed filling that is now one of my favorite desserts. Not overly sweet and large enough to share with the 3 of us. My only regret is that they are located in Bethesda, if a store opened in Columbia, I would gladly become a regular. I'll just need to make a special trip here again to try more of their selections. Highly recommended for all age.
