Riverside Hot Pot - Gaithersburg

This is a great place for a long, slow meal. I was several times and never had to wait. Every time I get everything you can eat. You can choose from several broths that will cut them off happy when the plane seems to get a bit low. There is a solid selection of meat, vegetables a seafood (they have octopus!!!! to cook at the table. They also have a beautiful complementary “sauce bar” with several sauces (e.g. beef, soya, sesame, black bean a spice (e.g. ginger, garlic, cilantro, season, spring onions). You can make your own diving sauce or put it in the broth. Usually the service is great, although the last time one of the servers seemed miffed when we asked for rice and was extremely curt when he told us the bowl he brought was the last they had, how is a Chinese restaurant running out of rice? Despite his bad attitude, it won't stop me from going back. In any case, I recommend one.

My family and I love the hot pot. the food is great excellent service with a smile, always friendly, a wide selection of meat and vegetables. We try to visit it several times during the year and enjoy our meal. It is the best hot pot in Maryland we travel an hour away to enjoy the food, service and atmosphere we love. We visited another hot pot at one point of time not like the service was spun out and the only thing we liked about it were the burners built into the table By electric, So decided we from then on Riverside hot pot was the place to go.

I very much enjoyed the hot pot experience here. The food was extremely fresh as it should be, the sauce bar provides with plenty of options, the service is attentive and on point. I enjoyed my meal, and a friend who never had experienced hot pot before was also very impressed. I will be returning! However some comments, one of my guests ordered the normal broth and it was essentially just water with 1-2 vegetables thrown in, that was initially concerning, but with addition of stuff from the sauce bar that broth was quickly livened up. Another point is that the pricing of this restaurant was unclear before I arrived, clear defined pricing online would be great information to have. For example, is the lunch menu option available only during the week? Nevertheless, 5 stars for food and service.

Great food service was good. The staff came to make sure you're okay. Happy. Very recommended

The food itself is enough for five stars. Scallops, shrimps, beef and lamb taste all fresh. 6 soup base and many varieties of fresh vegetables to choose from. The service has room to improve, but it was functional. We ordered Shrimp Hua twice, but it never occurred. We asked it well into the second half of the meal and said it ran out. It is frequent service expectation that the waiter only say something like sorry that we are from XXX today. Do you want YYY instead?
