All-Asian food court, Cava on Shady Grove and a Rio restaurant update

 

 

 

Gong Cha bubble tea

 

Next up for Rockville: An all-Asian food court

Coming soon to the new Metropolitan apartment building near Rockville Town Square: an all-Asian food court featuring everything from poke bowls and Taiwanese street food to cocktails and bubble tea. “It’s going to be called The Spot, and it will be the hottest place in Rockville by next summer,” says broker Shang Wang of JBG Companies, who’s finalizing the tenant list for the North Washington Street complex. Among that list will be the Taiwanese bubble tea chain Gong Cha, which is moving into Maryland after a three-year expansion around the New York area. Click here to check out the menu.

New restaurants for Rio Washingtonian

New dining and drinking options are on the way to Gaithersburg’s Rio Washingtonian Center. Just for the holidays, this week marks the launch of a Friday-only pop-up bar on the plaza across from Uncle Julio’s. (Click here for details). Next comes Poki District, a fast-expanding D.C. chain that will debut this spring near the movie theater. And Yard House, a craft beer and cocktail chain from Darden Restaurants, will replace the closed Macaroni Grill in 2019. Click here for a preview.
