Last month, we reported that “coming soon” signage was up for Han Spot in Gaithersburg’s Rio. We now know the restaurant will have its beer, wine, and liquor license hearing on Thursday, May 2nd at 10am.
Han Spot will be located in the space that was previously home to Union Jack’s until June 2020. The restaurant is being opened by Chris Zhu, owner of popular dim sum restaurants China Garden (Rockville) and Han Palace (Tysons, Woodley Park, Barracks Row).
Construction began a few months back with the previous interior being removed and now the restaurant is working on constructing the new space. Zhu made the initial announcement via social media in May, “Another milestone. New baby from Han Palace coming to Rio Gaithersburg. Next to AMC theater & Guapo’s.” One of Zhu’s other restaurants, Han Palace, offers an all-day dim sum menu. Scallops, shrimp, pork/crab dumplings, rice rolls, barbecue pork buns, lobster sticky rice, Han-style filet mignon, and Peking duck are included on the Han Palace menu. An opening timeframe is not yet available, we anticipate a mid to late 2024 opening being a likely scenario.
