Urban Hot Pot Rockville - Fairfax

Went to urban hot pot about a month ago and would not come back again. Food was average, and the waitress was really rude when they told us to hurry up because of the time limit. In addition, it wasn’t until we leave the restaurant that we realized we had ordered 夫妻肺片 but they never gave us the dish.

This all you can eat hot pot place was the perfect meal for a rainy day. They have a vast range of dishes to choose from and are very fresh. The only complain I would have would be that the broths are not as flavorful as other hot pot places. Service was

You have less than 90 mins to eat and the staff will rush you out the door.. The food is not bad but it's just not worth it.

I am so addicted to this place I want to go at least once a week! The ambience and service is top notch. It's an AYCE and as soon as you're seated, the timer starts. You have an hour and a half so make it count! You have a convenient iPad to order drinks, soups, ingredients, napkins, etc.There's a sauce station with whatever you need to make your dipping desires come true. Several options for broth base for any type of souper you are. My daughter and I's personal favorite is the Tom Yum. My boys love their Miso Soup base. I'm not sure if I will ever get to try any others because once I find what I love, I'm loyal to it.I LOVE their selections of meats, seafood, veggies, and noodles. I can eat here knowing my entire family will be happy eating because they get what they want and the portion sizes are just the right amount so you're not left eating something you didn't want.The dishes come out quick and once you've emptied your plates, servers come by to pick them up just as fast. I love that kind of attention because I like to keep my table tidy and ready for more haha.I always leave this place happy and i can't wait to go back every time. Enjoy!

We first tried Urban in MD given poor VA options at the time and really liked their ordering system (tablet at the table), selection, quality, and speed. Once this location opened up down the street, we now frequent it on cold days. We also tried Fahrenheit, Hot Spot, and O My Hot Pot and still think Urban is the best for is for the sheer soup and ingredient variety.Urban is not without cons as the price has gone up quite a bit, I do not like the wait with no call ahead option on weekends, and really dislike the minimum person limit to make reservations. Sometimes there also out of an ingredient but it's not taken off the menu, you just don't get brought out. That being said, we still go and supplement with Hot Spot if the wait is mind destroying.One tip for anyone new to Hot Pot in general is to only cook the beef briefly (multiple quick dips in the soup) to get to the desired temperature. Otherwise, it will be tough. Threw that in there because I read quite a few reviews with that complaint.
