Permanent signage is now up at Han Spot, the forthcoming dim sum restaurant set to occupy the space previously held by Union Jack’s at 9811 Washingtonian Blvd. until June 2020.
Han Spot is being launched by Chris Zhu, the owner of the well-regarded dim sum establishments China Garden in Rockville and Han Palace, with locations in Tysons, Woodley Park, and Barracks Row. Zhu first announced the new venture on social media in May, referring to it as “Another milestone. New baby from Han Palace coming to Rio Gaithersburg. Next to AMC theater & Guapo’s.” Han Palace’s menu features an extensive array of dim sum, including scallops, shrimp, pork/crab dumplings, rice rolls, barbecue pork buns, lobster sticky rice, Han-style filet mignon, and Peking duck.
While an exact opening date is not yet available, a mid to late 2024 timeframe is anticipated. Earlier this summer, Han Spot completed its beer, wine, and liquor license hearing with Montgomery County’s Alcoholic Beverage Services and has been actively hiring staff. We will provide further updates as the opening date approaches.
