Asian food hall with sushi, poke, fried chicken & bubble tea























"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

"I observed that Rockville now has dueling food halls, including the Spot." - Gabe Hiatt

"An Asian-inspired food hall is ready to start serving Taiwanese bubble teas and poke to Rockville diners: it's projected to open at 11 a.m. on Saturday, July 7 at 255 N Washington Street (in the Metropolitan Apartment Building, across from Rockville Town Center). I report that five of its seven food stalls will operate at opening—Gong Cha, Poki DC, Cheers Cut, Mian and Alpaca Dessert—with The Spot Bar and The Spot Grill arriving soon; the venue will have about 150 seats inside and 50 in the outdoor bar area, will stay open daily until midnight, and will run a 25-percent discount through Sunday, July 8 to celebrate its first arrivals." - Tierney Plumb

"The Spot is a forthcoming Asian food hall located at 225 N. Washington Street in Rockville, expected to open in July. It is a communal dining hub similar to Annandale’s the Block food hall, offering seating for 150 inside and an outdoor bar for 50 more." - Warren Rojas

"Rockville Pike is welcoming two Asian food halls this summer, the Spot and Pike Kitchen. Each will feature shared kitchen spaces for vendors serving everything from poke to Korean fried chicken. The Spot, projected to arrive in July, will feature Poke District, Gong Cha (bubble tea), Cheers Cut (fried chicken and seafood) a dessert bar with Thai ice creams and bubble waffles — a street food craze in Hong Kong." - Tierney Plumb
