B2J Fish Soup Gaithersburg 9629 Lost Knife Rd, Gaithersburg Chinese • $$

“The fish soup was flavorful, and the portion size was generous. I also liked that you can do a half-and-half soup with both fish and beef if you want to try both.

There are plenty of side dishes to choose from, and the cucumber was refreshing. The sticky rice cake and the spicy sour noodles were just okay and didn't stand out compared to the soup.

The seating area is fairly small, so it's not the best choice for larger groups, though we had no trouble walking in without a reservation. The staff were friendly and efficient, making the whole experience smooth. I'd definitely come back for the fish soup.”

Hot Pot Hero Gaithersburg 100 Paramount Park Drive, Gaithersburg Hot Pot • $$

“The BEST VALUE all-you-can-eat place! Excellent, fresh food and clean!!! (even their women's bathroom is clean!) And great services, especially Amy! By the way, it is hard for me to believe this restaurant does not get 5 stars! We travel all the way from VA to this place at least two times a month. We just love it!!! P.S. I read the reviews that did not give them 5 stars and feel those reviews may not be fair to them. As an example, one review gave them a 4-star commenting food is great, quality is great, but expensive. Yes, if you compare this place with most cheap Chinese all you can ear places, $33 does seem expensive. However, fresh and high-quality food cost me. I am willing to pay extra for good, fresh food. As another example, I was shocked to see a review giving them only 3 stars commenting she got sick (even though she said she loved the food there). I was wondering if she did not cook her food well in the hot pot, or she couldn't handle the spices.”

“I didn’t know when entering this pizzeria that I would quickly be transported to a place that felt so familiar. We sat down for what was meant to be a simple family dinner and it became so much more. We ordered a few pizzas, a bottle of wine and the atmosphere just took us away. The gentle music, smell of our pizzas cooking and a nice bottle of wine created the perfect recipe to take our table to a place we’ve never been to, but somehow felt incredibly familiar. Everything was so delicious, we could taste the attention and care put into choosing the ingredients and crafting a meal that was more than just a simple pie. Thank you to everyone who made this possible. As a note to anyone reading this and considering enjoying a meal here, bring your friends or your family and take your time. Reminisce on the time you shared, share stories of the people you love and be present with the people you’re with. The food is incredible, but sharing it with the people that mean a lot to you will make it a memory you’ll never forget.”

“Can't stop thinking about how good this dinner was - delicious! I sat at the bar and James and Colin took such good care of me, super friendly and warm, checking in, the kind of service that lets you relax and enjoy yourself.

Started with the Caesar salad, nice and light, well dressed with a lighter dressing - the croutons are the best part. The steak frites are phenomenal, steak so tender it practically melted, and the fries were crispy little bites of heaven dunked in a roasted garlic rosemary aioli.

Wine list is excellent too, lots of good options by the glass, and the whole vibe of the place is lively.

Ask for James or Colin if you sit at the bar, they made the night.”

“My favorite Indian joint within tolerable distance. Thank you for the extras on my large pick-up order. It was much appreciated! However, their claim that Chicken Tikka Masala is from the Indian subcontinent was NOT up for intellectual debate. They simply replied, “if it’s good it doesn’t matter.” This is the only instance in my life where I can recall where cultural appropriation was followed on with de-cultural appropriation. Just a thought that is not meant to be negative, but are the origins of Chicken Tikka Masala disputed? Inquiring minds want to know…and attempting to open up this discussion was not met as to satisfy lingering questions. I still love you.”

“Firehouse Deli, as the name suggests, is 🔥🔥. Large vegan selection and portions, but they also have plenty of meat options. Pictured are the vegan corned beef Reuben and the vegan thai chicken wrap. My goal is to try everything on the vegan menu at some point! They also have a breakfast menu from 8am-11am. Finally, I want to point out when you order something vegan, they circle the V. I really appreciate that because I'm sure it helps to avoid mix ups in the kitchen. Glad this deli exists since many other delis have limited vegan game.”

Dorris was amazing! She helped us pick the best choices. We had authentic, home-cooked style Chinese food, while a few with a slight twist with newer ingredients that married beautifully together. Everything we tried hit all the right spots! The grandma noodles (at the other location, same as hand pulled chili oil noodle at this location)- absolute must try!

The best part was the feeling we got every time the servers brought food to our table. They were smiling and was proud to share those delicious dishes. It felt like we had gone to someone’s home and they were excited to share their food with us.”

The Persian pizza (a house favorite) was full of flavor, the soup and grilled cheese combo was pure comfort, and the turkey + havarti sandwich, bacon egg croissant, and margarita pizza were all delicious and perfectly done. The drinks? Just wow. The espresso martini is an absolute yes! We also loved the butterfly margarita, lava-shak martini, and Malibu sunset -- all beautifully crafted and fun to sip. Plus, they offer a nice selection of wines and juices to purchase. Shots were order as well. Had too much fun didn't take pictures of all the food and drinks. The space itself is perfect for a girls' day or night out -- stylish and cozy with beautiful lighting and thoughtful décor. We especially loved the artwork of the girl with the pearl earrings -- such a fun and elegant touch!

Irenes Pupusas 811 Russell Avenue, Gaithersburg Salvadoran • $

“The pupusas are addicting, very flavorful and always fresh. Well priced as well, so I can keep coming back without feeling guilty. Parking in front is tight, but there are a lot of spaces in the back. Love coming here to reward myself after dealing with the crowd at Costco across the street.”

Carmen's Italian Ice 130 Market St, Gaithersburg Ice Cream Shop • $

“Our family's favorite. Proud Crave Card powerusers! They are always coming up with new and delish flavors of ices, pops, custard, drinks, and every kind of dessert you can imagine. Plus they offer coffee and breakfast! . The Fall Gelatis are our go-to desserts. I just wish they would post the flavors of the day online, but that would be hard because there are so many!”

“I've always had good experiences at this location, which is why I'm still giving it 4 stars and will continue coming back.

That said, I had a concerning experience during my visit on June 29 at around 8:40 PM. I wasn't asked for my rewards phone number, which is normally fine because I can scan the barcode on my receipt later to receive my rewards points. However, when I received my receipt, there was no barcode to scan. In the past, whenever I haven't provided my phone number, a barcode has always been printed so I could claim my points afterward.

Based on that, I believe an employee may have entered a different rewards phone number instead of asking for mine. I can't say for certain that's what happened, but based on my previous experiences, it's the only explanation that makes sense to me. If that's what occurred, it's something management should investigate because customers shouldn't lose out on the rewards they've earned.

Other than this incident, I've always enjoyed coming here. The ice cream is great, the staff is usually friendly, and I hope this issue is addressed.”

“This place has the most authentic Shanghai food in DMV. Well if you argue it should be from your mom's kitchen then you win. I am just comparing this with Shanghai Taste and Bob66. (Shanghai lounge and Nanxiang has nothing to do with Shanghai food from my humble opinion.)
Back to the business. If you are fine with any dishes being sweet then I suggest give everything a try. Something you may find weird, but it is just how things are done in Shanghai. If you want something salty you can get Fuzhu 腐竹 or Moyu魔芋, both are nice cold dishes. But I still suggest Kaofu 烤麸, Lajiang 辣酱 and Ribs小排 even you don't have sweet teeth. Meatball 狮子头 are nice to try as well, and Shenjian生煎 is a must try - I served Shenjian to my parents who still live in Shanghai when they came and they gave a positive feedback.”
