Bob's 88 Shabu Shabu Rockville

Authentic asian in the DC metro area, how exciting! After finding out that Rockville had shabu shabu, I had to go. Bob's was great. We were welcomed in the parking lot by asians, which was a good sign. Then we proceeded to the hostess stand, where we were greeted in Chinese - an even better sign. We ordered the combination shabu shabu with beef and pork, udon, and shrimp dumplings to share. The vegetable platter that came with the shabu shabu was more than generous for two people. The beef and pork were cut into nice, thin, slices, but smaller than I am used to. The dipping bar was great, in fact, there seemed to be too many choices so you are inclined to make yourself multiple custom sauces. The dumplings, although they came frozen, were very tasty and the wrapper was still very delicate and thin. The best thing about shabu shabu is that you leave feeling full, but good, because it's a healthy meal. For my first time having shabu shabu on this side of the country, I was very impressed.
