Shanghai 66 opens at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda (Photos)

Shanghai 66 is now open in the Dining Terrace at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda. The latest venture from the creator of Bob's Noodle employs a Chipotle-like ordering system, in a menu that includes baos and dumplings.

On the wall at the restaurant is a chalkboard listing the locally-sourced ingredients currently in use at any given time. The branding doesn't push the original "Shanghai 66 Innovation Kitchen" name, sticking with the more-widely-known Shanghai 66 brand.

    Is there an affiliation with Bob's Shanghai 66 in Rockville?

    I walked by this weekend and their menu up top was too difficult to read from 10 feet away, so I moved on. They need to increase the font size considerably.

    Also note: "bao" and "dumpling" are the same thing. The Chinese word for dumpling is bao (actually "bao zi" to be accurate). It would be like saying a bakery is offering croissants and buttery crescent-shaped bread.

    Very odd combination of items, you could get better choice from Shopette, It's basically the same concept, only not as appetizing. And for that reason I'm out.

    "'Bao' and dumpling' are the same thing. The Chinese word for dumpling is bao... It would be like saying a bakery is offering croissants and buttery crescent-shaped bread."

    "Bao" and dumpling are NOT the same thing.

    "Bao" or "baozi" means bun.

    "Jiaozi" means dumpling.

    There is no redundancy here.

    If you want to hear redundancy, call an ATM an ATM machine or call pork belly bao pork belly bao buns.

    From The Best of Tarnation Bob:

    To Dyer: "You miss having trans-fats in your restaurant food? Wow."

    Dyer: "Actually, I do. That's simply not government's place, to be telling chefs what the recipe can be. Ridiculous."
