Great food and attentive service. First great price for the Beijing Duck if you pay cash. The rest of the menu also has good prices. We ordered both the hot pot and Korean BBQ. Both were great with fresh ingredients. At the end you get complementary orange and warm wet napkins to clean up. Highly recommended.

Very good food. A hidden gem! We got the spicy boiled fish, Peking duck, and two other Chinese dishes. I hope more people come to eat here as the atmosphere is a little sad, when I came to eat there weren't a lot of people. To be fair, we weren't eating there for rush hour or anything but still the atmosphere was kind of sad. The owners were very attentive and would come by with stuff as soon as they thought we needed it without prompting.

First time come here. It offers a variety of fresh and high-quality ingredients, such as thinly sliced meats, seafood, vegetables, and various dipping sauces. The broth has more flavorful. *** The Peking Duck is so Good, crispy skins, no fat, more meat. I think it’s the Lowest Price in Maryland, Virginia and Washington DC. *** Excellent service . Definitely recommend it to everyone!

We celebrated my friend’s birthday and the experience was perfect. The service was attentive and hospitable. They went above and beyond by providing a special cake, round of soft drinks and fresh orange slices to balance out the incredible authentic Korean meal. I’ll be back. (Some of our guest were regular diners!) thank you King George Hot pot for the memories.

I just had the best Beijing Duck in Montgomery County! We celebrated Valentine's at George's tonight and ordered the whole Beijing Duck special along with Szechuan Green Beans and Pork with Garlic Sauce. This was our first time at this location and the duck had really crispy skin and so much meat! The skin was perfect and the meat was juicy. George certainly knows how to prepare a duck and the best part is that he does duck at half the cost of everyone else. It came with the works (see pic) and we both thoroughly enjoyed our meal; like a Chinese fajita but wayyyy more yummy! For those folks that remember Peking Cheers back in the 90s, well it's the same gentleman and his lovely wife that used to run the duck specials there. George is so gracious and kind. We chatted it up for a bit and he made us feel very welcomed. So glad that we met them again and we will certainly be back for more duck and explore more of the menu. We will try the hot pot and korean bbq as well next time but the duck is a winner. Most of the other diners were enjoying the hotpot which looked great, but I caught several folks around us eyeing our duck haha. You should give it a try!

Tried this restaurant for the first time and it did not disappoint. We ordered the Peking Duck, General Tso's Chicken, and Crispy Whole Fish. The Peking Duck was delicious and well priced compared to other restaurants. In order to get the special duck price, you did have to order other dishes totaling 20 or more and lunch specials do not count. I would come back for the duck. It was tasty and the whole duck was more than enough for 3 adults to share. The General Tso's Chicken was delicious. You actually tasted white meat chicken vs it just being fried dough. I would 10/10 recommend. The Crispy Whole Fish had good flavor, but I wouldn't order it again. It was a bit on the fishy side - didn't taste fresh. We were probably the only ones dining during lunch so service was quick. At the end, we were brought orange slices and hot towels to wipe our hands. The restaurant had plenty of seating and well kept.

We love eating here, we have become regular customers here. We have shared a lot of great moments with friends/family. Food and customer service has always been top notch. The owners (husband/wife) are so kind and know how to care for their customers via their food. Well keep coming to this lovely place. Plus the pecking duck is amazing!
