East Grill Karaoke - Rockville

I wasn’t that crazy about my food but that’s ok I was looking forward to coming back and trying something different. Loved the atmosphere and my drinks. I was disappointed that they took the tip out a head of time as I was only a party of one, and the service was just OK ???? and the server just threw the check at me not even the server that took my order. Is this new I never had a restaurant take out the tip for me as a party of one sitting at the bar.

Service could have been better, lamb and beef kabab had too much seasoning , fried dumplings were ok.

Lots of interesting dumpling and other things to try, but be patient. The staff speaks Mandarin and some do not have a good command of the English language, so be prepared to point. at the menu. The 3 times I have been there, the staff did not understand my questions, so we just ordered without any additional information than what was on the menu. The food was fine. You can get your dumplings steamed or fried. Suggest trying one of each to see how they are. We generally liked fried better. Even without getting questions answered, the food is good and not expensive. From the looks of things they do a lot of late night karaoke in Chinese. Parking is free for two hours in a gated lot that is accessed from the side street. They do not validate, but 2 hours should be enough for dinner or lunch.

This place is either a dumpling restaurant or a karaoke bar- unfortunately it is NOT a restaurant. We were in the area on a Saturday evening about 8:30- Er had checked the website and it said they served until 10:30. There is a large restaurant closed), a smaller grill with karaoke TV screens and a Back room- I am assuming it is a large Karaoke Bar) There were a few tables of couples , 3 servers and 1 bartender. They were doing a big Grubhb, uber business because the drivers were all waiting in the bar. We were seated in the grill and looked over the pretty large menu- a waitress asked for drink orders I had a scotch and water and my partner had a gin and tonic). They only had Chevis $10 a drink) and both were very weak pours. We tried to order soup before our 24 dumplings but were told the kitchen was closing in 5 min we had to order quickly. All the food came together. We asked for some soy sauce- The waiter brought duck sauce, We explained we needed soy sauce and got 1 small container of soy sauce. My partner asked for a diet coke and the waiter said they were out of Diet Coke so we asked what else they had- he got mad at us and left. We never had any other service from the servers. Teh back room was getting alot of attention as were the delivery drivers. Now guests were still being served in the Grill and they were ordering more food. Did we look wrong or what? finally we were given a check so we paid in cash, left a 10% tip and left

There are many varieties of meat and good food. The server is friendly and nice to explain what the menu offers. The atmosphere is good with nice music.
