  1. It took a moment for us to find it, but Chuan Tian Xia was worth the search. This is a very impressive Sichuan restaurant in Rockville, a few minutes walk from the Twinbrook Metro garage, at the corner of Fishers Lane and Twinbrook Parkway. The mixed fry plate (not sure exactly what it is called was a nice starter, a mix of fried tofu chunks, fish, and pork. Salty in the best way. The double cooked pork is an old favorite of ours, pretty commonly seen on Sichuan restaurant menus, and was a nice rendition. The Hunan style bamboo shoots was a delicious dish, mildly prepared but with a deep wok's kiss that amped up the savory flavor. Finally, the Chongqing spicy diced chicken, with a 'normal' level of spice, was very, very spicy, even for someone like me that enjoys spicier dishes. This was truly ma la, and I loved it. Service was very friendly and helpful. We look forward to going back.
  2. Driving through Rockville today, I felt a strange urge to detour through the parking lot where Three Brothers used to be - I hadn't noticed that this location had closed - and in its place was a dusty construction site and signage for "Pizza CS - napoletana, come sempre". Judging from the Google results, it looks like owners Ankur Rajpara and Jonathan Allen may have originally intended to open in Baltimore's Canton area before settling down in Rockville. There's the stalled rough beginnings of a website nowhere near ready for public viewing, PizzaCS.com, but the most up-to-date info comes from their Facebook page, which shows the delivery of their Stefano Ferrara oven in July and predicts an October opening date.
  3. One of the joys of owning a restaurant is getting to dine there on a regular basis. Having your dinner interrupted 27 times by staff asking questions etc. So sometimes, you can't wait to get out and eat somewhere else. If that happens late at night, my Silver Spring options are pretty limited and Rockville is even worse {New Kam Fong, Kabob n Kahari, Irene's when its not loud music night are a limited rotation. So to find Korean joint on Vier's Mill open until 2am was a nice surprise. 2 solo meals so far: very friendly service. The entry way looks unprepossessing due to the private rooms on the left (sort of lets build a clubhouse look to them} but the back seating area is very nice and clean, if a little sparse. Everything I have tried is good to very good, not great but at 11 or midnight its my best option if my top three are not sounding good to me. So far the Seasoned Tofu appetizer has been nicely fishy with lots of seaweed on top and very good quality tofu. The shrimp BBQ is very nice but a bit much for one to eat. By the time you power thru the first 6 oer so shrimp the next 8 or 10 begin to get a little dry. But at a table of 2 or 4, it would be a quick bite. The soon du bu was superb. This is the add in give up their flavor to the soup variety of soon du bu: the clams, oysters, beef, pork and shrimp and more {conch I think, squid, octopus maybe} all add their flavor to the rich broth at the expense of a little ruberiness. But I would have licked the bowl clean if not for the thought that burning my tongue would have pissed me off. I want to go back to get the Kalbi with cold noodles combo. Privces are right at the woo mi leel but the food has more love if not quite as expert cooking than Woo Mi. But Woo Mi stops seating before I ever get there. Not worth a cross town journey, but a top MoCo Korean option. The Soon du bu is almost as good as Lighthouse Tofu! Its int he Twinbrook Center across the Viers Mill from the Post Office, the Dairy Queen etc, just North of Twinbrook.
