"The Spot in Rockville’s wide-ranging options — from Taiwanese fried crispy squid to matcha egg waffle cones — are inspired by similar markets in Hong Kong. This Asian food hall is a source for trendy desserts like fish-shaped taiyaki treats at Alpaca Dessert and foamy milk tea from Taiwanese tea chain Gong Cha. More substantial meals include poke bowls with a yuzu jalapeno sauce at Poki DC, fried chicken or seafood from CheersCut, hand-pulled noodles from Mian, and Japanese donburi from Tamashi. The Spot Mini, a scaled-down outpost with ramen, poke, and tea, caters to University of Maryland students in College Park." - Kalina Newman, Eater Staff
