Crab and pork soup dumpling (xiaolongbao)
Elaine C.

I can't remember the last time I had crab and pork soup dumplings this flavorful. The traditional way to eat them is to carefully transfer a dumpling to your spoon, poke a small hole in the xiaolongbao, slurp out the soup, drizzle a little black vinegar over the dumpling to cut through the richness, and then eat the rest. They are very delicate, so often, the soup will spill. We also ordered the sizzling beef with onion, braised eggplant with green bean, snakehead fish filet with pickled vegetable soup, and spicy beef tripe. Every dish exceeded our expectations. My mom, who's notoriously picky about eating out, even gave the meal her stamp of approval. We were a little thirsty a few hours after the meal, which isn't uncommon with more heavily seasoned dishes. Even so, it was worth it. They also offer a discount if you're Tsinghua alumni or if you pay in cash. Also, the interior was stunning!

Very tasteful food that we all like it。Today is Chinese family reunion holiday, we all enjoyed food there, feel like eat in China, top chef's cooking skills, strong recommend this restaurant. 非常好吃,感觉师傅是大师水平啊,谢谢!

Location requires parking and validation and such. Keep track of your license place before leaving your car! You need to do validation through a QR code which is posted on the entrance door. Don't be like me and run back to your car because you can't remember your license plate. The wine glasses are misleading. They only carry beer here. The food is okay. For the price, I think it's priced much higher than comparable places. This place has the interior for a nice date though. It's clean and the ambient lighting works well. But the food quality, you can get elsewhere for a better deal. Service was good when we were here. Not too many people were here for dinner when we came here. But the parking lot was a mess. I personally would recommend the dry pot Cauliflower. That was decimated by the table in a heartbeat.

Orange Chicken

I ordered through UberEats for my friends and I. The order was missing a few things but I'll reserve this review for the food specifically. I was really excited to try this place out since I've been meaning to for a while now. Unfortunately everything from the lo mein to the fried rice to the orange chicken was super bland. The texture of the orange chicken also was a bit off. For example, in the picture attached, you can tell on the left is chicken meat. I have no clue what's on the right...maybe orange coated fat or breading? Half of the container was chicken meat, half was whatever is pictured. I had high hopes for this place because of all the reviews but I probably won't order from RH Bistro again.

RH bistro: beef noodle
Bella J.

They're amazing! 1. Always empty so don't need to make a reservation. But I do want them to stay open, so people check them out! 2. Food: excellent People who know me well know that I don't go for Chinese meal as my first option but food here is legit! Naming convention here is a bit off, - For example what we call Dan dan noodle the thick noodle awesomeness is called pad Thai here, makes no sense but try it! - general tsao chicken is okay - lamb noodle dish is amazing, it comes hot one time and it was a cold dish the next time. I was surprised. Bur both were amazing! But they do need to be consistent if they wanna last long 3. Hot tea is good and comes in a pot which is something I love. They have no liqueur license yet. 4. Service: amazing! They recognized me when showed up after 2 weeks! Very polite, accommodating and genuinely nice! 5. Ambiance: very inviting, clean and well structured. Great for big groups, lots of private rooms for business dinner etc. Highly recommend!

RH Bistro, Modern Asian with Bold flavor If you're craving Asian favorites but are open to stepping a little outside the box, RH Bistro delivers a modern Asian experience that blends comfort dishes with bold, authentic flavors. You'll find staples like Lo Mein, but the menu goes far beyond the familiar. If you're a pork lover, this is your place, they truly use every part of the pig, adding a unique, adventurous edge that sets the menu apart. Two standout crowd-pleasers: Combination Lo Mein, wok-tossed, flavorful, and generously portioned Kung Pao Chicken, a spicy, savory hit if you can stand the heat level spice The vibe is modern, welcoming, and perfect for a date night, friends' dinner, or foodie adventure when you want something different but still satisfying. Come hungry. Come curious. Leave impressed

I was craving soup dumplings and came across this place. Unfortunately when I arrived alot of menu items weren't available including soup dumplings :(. We ended up ordering the orange chicken, beef brisket with enoki mushroom soup and pan fried pork dumplings and everything was delicious! All the food were solid and nothing to complain about. The beef brisket with enoki mushroom soup reminded me of non spicy malatang and it even had glass noodles in it which was a nice surprise. The restaurant is big and spacious, and the service was good. I'll definitely be back to try the soup dumplings next time!

This is place is pretty good for a nicer dine in Chinese restaurant! So expect the prices to be a bit higher than a more casual place. I have been here a few times and my favorite dish is probably the crab tofu. This time we got mapo tofu, west lake beef soup, cucumbers, and beef tripe. I love how flavorful all the sauces and seasonings are! You can also choose the level of spice you want. The waiters were kind but it can be hard to find someone and seemed to really only check in towards the end of your meal. You get a 5% discount if you pay with cash. It was a little strange how they only had quarters to give me for some change though... overall I recommend!

Saw this Chinese restaurant on IG and it looked too tempting not to try. Finally got the chance--and ended up going twice in a row! The food was incredible, the staff super friendly, and the whole place had such a great vibe. We ordered the Sichuan Chongqing pepper chicken--super spicy and a bit on the salty side, so definitely ask them to adjust it to your taste. The Dan Dan noodles reminded me of creamy peanut butter noodles --pretty good if you're a peanut butter lover. The Red Oil Pork Dumplings were my favorite! They look spicy, but the heat is very manageable.

We went for lunch and overall was a pleasant experience. We were during the earlier hours - service was definitely more attentive at the start (when there were less tables). Recommend the servers try more of the menu. When asking for recommendations, two different servers could only tell us what other people order vs what they liked. When we went the restaurant also did not have their liquor license yet, but sounded like that was coming soon. The main dishes are mostly authentic and tasted good. Dim sum options were just ok - soup dumplings lacked soup and scallion pancake tasted like it was from a package. Also disappointing was a pot of tea comes with a tea bag rather than loose leaf tea. Room for improvement, but once the restaurant has been fully open and stabilized, we'll be back to try it again.

Sichuan chicken (Lazi chicken) was numbing pepper oil forward and covered in hot peppers
Keith A.

RH Bistro has been high on our list to try and we finally gave it a try tonight. My wife ordered family style, knowing what our daughter and I like. The food was Sichuan spicy for all our dishes, and that is a very good thing. The cumin lamb was very bold with the slices, moreso than at other Sichuan restaurants. The lamb was very tender and sliced thin. The Sichuan Chongqing pepper chicken (similar to Lazi chicken at other restaurants) was fried crispy with numbing pepper oil and covered in hot peppers for a very incredibly good flavor that I couldn't stop eating. We also ordered crispy Mandarin fish with Sichuan pepper as well. The fish comes with sprigs of numbing peppers and a Sichuan numbing pepper forward taste. I wasn't a fan of the texture of the fish, however the flavor was really good. My wife and daughter loved the fish. Service was fast and attentive, refilling our waters often and bringing our food very quickly and hot from the kitchen. I will definitely be back, especially after being so satisfied from having all my favorite dishes!

Signature mala dry pot
Emi V.

Rh Bistro has good food and ambiance! It looks clean, modern, and luxurious inside. I ordered the signature mala dry pot, sweet and sour crispy tilapia, crab and pork soup dumplings, and the kung pao cashew jumbo shrimp. I would recommend all of those dishes besides the shrimp dish (which is a more Americanized dish). The dry pot comes sizzling in a pot similar to a stir fry with a mix of different proteins. The sweet and sour tilapia was perfect and was nicely deboned (with minor small fish bones). I would definitely get both of these dishes again to share! I went on a Friday night where they were pretty busy, but the service was still good.

I've been on the hunt for good Szechuan food in the area, but everything kept falling short... until now. Oh, hello, RH Bistro! Let's start with my ultimate test: the mapo tofu. I always judge a Szechuan restaurant by this dish, and RH Bistro nailed it. I ordered it extra spicy (because why not?) and it was absolute perfection - not too oily, not too soupy, with that magical mix of numbing spice, chili heat, cornstarch-thickened sauce, and silky tofu. It hit every note. The popular Szechuan Pepper Chicken (yep, extra spicy again) totally lived up to the hype -- crispy, flavorful, and addictive. To cool things down, we added some sautéed bok choy, which were fresh, vibrant, and a nice break from the heat. And I can't forget the pork dumplings with red oil - those little pockets of happiness were so good I could've eaten the whole plate myself. Next time, I'm bringing a bigger crew so I can sample more of the menu. RH Bistro, you've officially raised the Szechuan bar around here.

Are there any gluten free options on the menu? I love the food here but my husband has Celiac and I would love to take him here sometime!

You should be good when the carb options are rice noodles. Stay away from yellow noodles like lomein. Chinese food don't often use rice noodles. It's more of a Vietnamese thing

Sadly, I found out even before ordering that its original owner Louis Cheng recently retired and sold the restaurant to new ownership. The food was so-so but it was definitely not as good as I remember - the boiled fish in was definitely different versus what it was previously. Instead of spicy and fragrant peppercorns in oil, it was a simple sauce and cornstarch, very little heat and pretty generic. The other dishes didn't have the fiery wok taste that they used to and it felt more like an average Chinese food restaurant versus one that's more authentically Szechuan. Not bad food by any means, but less spice and more generic. Maybe it's a decision by new management to make it more mass appealing, but I was sad that it was sold and doesn't feel like the same place.

Our waitress was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. The owners were also warm and welcoming, adding to the wonderful dining experience.

The food itself was extremely disappointing, but what made the experience even worse was the fact that our order was missing ingredients that were supposed to be part of the dishes. When we questioned why our meal had no vegetables, we were told that they had simply been left out. That's not something we expected, especially given what we ordered. To make matters worse, we were rushed out and told that we needed to leave because the restaurant was closing. What was especially uncomfortable was seeing other customers upstairs who were still eating, ordering food, and being loud. When we asked why they were allowed to stay while we were being asked to leave, the owner told us that they were "special customers." That comment was extremely off-putting and left us feeling as though we were being treated as less important or less welcome. The only positive part of the experience was our waiter, who was polite and pleasant despite the situation. Overall, between the disappointing food, missing ingredients, and the way we were treated at the end of the meal, this was a very unpleasant experience. We certainly expected better and, unfortunately, would not return based on this experience.

A friend who is a novice to this type of cuisine, was interested in sampling a variety of Asian style dumplings, and this place definitely fits that description. The spot can get busy during the prime time 6-8pm dining segment, so I'd recommend making reservations to guarantee seating. Located in the heart of Arlington at the intersection of Wilson and Clarendon Blvd, parking can be a challenge but if you're willing to walk, there is usually availability in the surrounding neighborhoods. The interior is beautifully decorated. Tile flooring is complimented by blonde hardwood ceiling and wall accent pieces, while bamboo lighting fixtures provide soft illumination. The menu is rather extensive and runs the gamut from soup based, fried, and steamed dumplings. There are also appetizers such as scallion pancakes, tofu with perserved duck eggs, and dim sum ...but we decided to stick with the more traditional style steamed dumplings. A pot of hot jasmine tea arrived to share and we appreciated the refills of hot water through out the meal. Pork soup dumplings - or xiaolongbao (XLB) - arrived first and I provided a brief primer as to how to enjoy this dish. XLB are delicate steamed dumplings filled with seasoned pork and a rich, savory broth that bursts with flavor when you take a bite. My recommendation was to nibble off a corner, and then allow the contained broth to drain into the soup spoon. If you bite directly into the dumpling first, it will likely make a big mess as soup squirts everywhere. We agreed that the pork broth was extremely flavorful and not too salty. I also suggested making a dipping sauce of the black vinegar, chili oil, and just a tiny splash of soy sauce. Dipping the XLB into the sauce amped up the spice and enhanced the flavor. The other two dumplings arrived a few minutes later. Of the two, the chicken and shitake was preferred. Seasoned chicken and earthy shiitake mushrooms are mixed and then steamed to bring out an umami-rich flavor. This was quite good. I grew up eating this type of pork/cabbage dumpling, so while it was solid, to me, it was quite "boring." The pork dumplings needed the dipping sauce for sure. Service was fine. Dirty plates were removed when appropriate while water glasses and the tea pot refilled when necessary. My only observation, and not a complaint, is that I can understand why some reviews say this place is "expensive." I don't necessarily concur with that assessment since I think the food is quality. However, paying $11-$15 for a plate of 5-8 dumplings can add up quickly. Still, for a restaurant where a diner can try a variety of different dumplings in one spot, I think the prices are reasonable. Dinner for two adults - a pot of tea and three entrees - with tax and tip came to about $61.

Located near Town Center in Rockville, it's tucked behind the Walgreens in a plaza. I placed a take out order but will say that the restaurant was PACKED! There was a regular menu and a dim sum menu which I could appreciate. I ordered the basics: combo fried rice (chicken and shrimp), vegetable spring rolls, sesame chicken and jasmine rice and egg soup. The rice and super flavorful and worth the 15 min wait. The sesame chicken was great as well. The egg drop soup was overwhelming with eggs, so it was ok. Not bad but I didn't expect so much egg. Also, the spring rolls could have been fried a little harder. Ver crispy on the outside but once I bit into it, the soft texture threw me off. But it was nothing that my air fryer couldn't fix! Overall, service was quick and easy and friendly. There were a few normal patrons that our cashier knew so that was a great sign. I loved the fact that I was able to see their accolades on the walls and there's an open window that allows you to see the food prep, which was neat! Overall I'd give it a 4/5 and will be back!
