    I'm sad because I 100% love Detroit style pizza, however, this didn't meet the mark. It was exactly as others have noted, the dough felt honestly premade, extremely dense, chewy, but not in a good way, like an overdone loaf of white bread as someone mentioned, the cheese was indeed rubbery, and the toppings was sparse. What also concerned me is that the flavor was missing; the sauce wasn't flavorful at all. The toppings also weren't flavorful, so it really did come across as a dense piece of bread with some items put on top. I ordered the share box I believe, which came with your choice of two small pizzas and breadsticks, and I'm sorry, the breadsticks were diabolical. And I also ordered a separate small that had the pepperoni, green pepper and mushroom and again, where were the toppings. I've been to corned beef king and I thought the sandwiches were amazing, but this pizza feels like an afterthought, and honestly to spend $53 on it, was deeply insulting. I don't think I can recommend, and although I want to rate it 2.5 stars, I can't go up to three in good conscience so I think it's going to be a two.

    Four stars, not many reviews , but still decided to try it out. Calzone and sweet heat wings. Both were trash. The calzone dough taste like a loaf of white bread. No exaggeration when I say 2 pepperonis , 1 sausage and 1 green pepper inside. Was more like a cheese calzone. Nonetheless the meats had no taste to them whatsoever. As for the wings . Super salty. Tough. Only positive about this experience was the food being hot. Oh almost forgot about the marinara... trash. I mean unless you like your sauce tasting like it's straight out of a can/jar.

    Detroit pizza near the Pike? I'm there. And so it was that I wound up at Pizza Monkey, staring at a garage door, wondering if my GPS had made a mistake. But a garage door seems apt for a Detroit Pizza, no? I ordered the vegetarian and it presented well - bright cheese with scattered veggies and two racing stripes of sauce. Only downside was that it seemed a little undercooked. No matter, the flavors were there. Detroit pizza hasn't taken hold of the DMV just yet, but when it does, I think Pizza Monkey will be able to compete.

    Mushroom Calzones! $12 each, before tax

    I am obsessed with Pizza Monkey and their delicious Detroit-style pizza! Their calzones are stuffed and their bright, slightly sweet, mouth-watering sauce has to be my favorite part of every bite (so you know it's good!). Their toppings are fresh and generous. Service at this location has always been prompt and kind, especially when the owner and his family are working the window (his teenaged son makes the sauce and works there after school, from what it seems like, I think that's so sweet). This is mainly a carry out location, room inside the pick up area is pretty tight, but there are a few outdoor tables to eat at right outside in the parking lot. I believe the business is open Thursdays- Sundays currently. They operate out of Corned Beef King's kitchen (another amazing local business to support). There has always been plenty of parking (free, all outdoor) at the location.

    I Really luv Chicago style pizza that's my number #1. New york use to be number #2 but now that I have tried Detroit style I'm a big fan. The pizza was ridiculously good with fresh high quality ingredients you can taste. Owner was cool as well. Also the shop is in another place called cornbeef but if you are in the area definitely check them out.

    A little slice of Detroit...reminds me of my time there with Buddies-styled square pizza baked to perfection-crisp on the sides, but still hearty in the middle, along with Vernors pop. Hope they do super well!

    Is this dark oil safe to eat?

We came on a Friday night, and had to wait about 30 minutes for seating. The dining area is basically wooden chairs and tables. Not much ambiance, but that's not why you come here. We ordered scallion pancakes, soup dumplings, eggplant with basil, and noodles with chicken. I never had scallion pancakes. Nothing I would order again. I have nothing to compare, but I assume they're good. The dumplings were fantastic. The eggplant, which comes in three varieties, appeared to be a popular item with other guests. I guess it was good. I'm not a fan of saucy food. The noodles were fantastic. I feel like we ordered wrong, although my girlfriend picked everything except the noodles. This is not a place to visit if you're looking to lose weight. The hard sugar in the eggplant alone was more than I consume in two months. I'm probably not in the best position to rate our dinner as I avoid carbs and sugar. If I were to come back, I'd stick the noodles and revisit the menu to see if there is a solid chicken option. I came here hungry and left hungry as the food was not filling, and the sugar content sent my system into a bit of a shock. Nonetheless, if this cuisine is your thing, you won't be disappointed.

We were seated immediately upon arrival. The restaurant is located in the main shop area of Rockville Town Square. There is plenty of parking available with nearby garages and street parking. We decided to do the AYCE Classic Set, there is a 90 minute limit and you are handed an iPad to order your selections. There is a limit of items that you can add... if I recall it was 10-15ish? Then once you submit an order you have a 5 minute limit before you can order your next batch of items. We ordered so many items, some of our favorites outside of the BBQ meats were: - Spicy Tuna Tartare - Shishito Peppers - Garlic Cucumber - Kuro Squid Noodle The meats were all high quality with generous portions. The time limit and wait times between orders were reasonable, we all left super full with time to spare. My two toddlers ate for free, I do not recall the cutoff age, but they are 1 and 3 if that gives some perspective. The food was excellent and the service matched. Our server David was very attentive, checking on us multiple times to clear plates and see if we needed anything. The table space has limited space due to the grill in the middle, but he was on top of making sure we were comfortable and taken care of. I really appreciated the extra time he took with actual plate placement, nothing hot close to the toddlers and even calling out when placing a hot item down to make sure hands and arms were clear. Delicious food, great service and perfect for families or large groups, I will definitely be coming back in the future :)

Highly praised for it's flavors and excellent execution of Thai food that has become a favorite for many. Coming during dinner time can be very daunting since they don't take reservations and the waiting area is fairly tight, sometimes out the door. Weekday lunch times end at 230pm so better come before 130pm to not feel rushed, lunch traffic is not nearly as packed as dinner. I especially enjoyed the Drunken Noodles and the curry beef, pork is not an option here. The interior is really cozy, a warm traditional wood stained decor that is dimly lit. Kinn Imm is definitely one of the highest rated Thai restaurants in the Rockville area, and sometimes I am surprised that not all people have heard of it yet. Make sure you order the food at your spicy level that you can handle because it can get really too hot to handle fast here. This is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. Try Kiin Thai Restaurant soon, you won't regret it and may also recommend it to others too!

The meat pastries were buttery and flaky with generous amounts of meat. The Jacques platter had piping hot crisp fries and thick slices of that smoked brisket meat.
