Bob's Shanghai 66 - Rockville

Pretty decent dim sum. Drove up from the 757 area to try this place. Food came out hot and fresh. The xiao long bao and the cold noodles were the highlights for me. The pan fried baozi skin was a little too thick. And the pig ears were tasteless and under seasoned. They tasted only of the chili oil that they were tossed with. Definitely willing to give it another try and try some other dishes.

I really wanted to like this place. But I may not ordered the right dishes. I ordered one mushroom noodle, one beef rice noodle and a rice cake desert. None are up to my expectations. Before I ordered I asked the waiter if the noodles is hand made. She said yes. But the noodle is just made from dry noodle, not even the frozen fresh noodle. The mushroom noodle uses canned mushrooms, the soup base is salty even though I asked to have less salt. The soup base has no flavor

The star of the show here is the soup dumplings, which are big, flavorful, and a joy to eat! I came in around 5pm on a Tuesday as a solo diner and was seated immediately; plenty of empty tables, though there were a decent number of people by the time I left. I also got the salt and pepper squid, which was crisp and golden, but a little lacking in flavor: I would have appreciated a bit more salt, and perhaps some hot peppers, as I've had with the dish elsewhere. The server

By far the best Chinese restaurant in DMV. Their XLBs are incredible and other dumpling dishes are great too. Dan dan noodle and fried rice were also delicious. I don?t think I ever had any bad food from here. They don?t accept any credit cards and really busy during the weekend dinner time. Highly recommended!

My favorite place in DMV for soup dumplings!! While they are all good, my favorite one is the Crab and Pork XLB Soup Dumplings. Spicy ?Cheng-Du? Chicken and the Spicy Wontons are delicious as well. Service is great and food comes out relatively fast, minus the soup dumplings, those take a bit of time. This place is always packed!
