“My husband brought me here for our anniversary and it was absolutely phenomenal. It’s located in gorgeous historic Ellicott City and the atmosphere is romantic and intimate. The staff were attentive and professional…but the meal itself was divine. We had a 6 course meal and every single bite was a melt in your mouth happy dance. From the moment you walk through the door you feel special and the entire experience was everything that you’d expect from an upscale French restaurant. 5 stars hands down! ♥️♥️♥️”

“Wonderful experience. We loved our waiter, Gabe. My husband and I made reservations for our anniversary. He told us congratulations and offered us each a complimentary glass of champagne right off the bat. We soon had warm bread brought to our table and then we ordered cocktails and two appetizers. All delicious. Baked brie was phenomenal. My husband had the filet mignon & I ordered a ribeye. Both were cooked to perfection. After we were nearly stuffed, Gabe offered us a complimentary dessert to share. Overall an amazing experience. Cozy atmosphere. Excellent service and the food came out quickly. Highly recommend this place. We will be back!”

Tonight, I decided to take advantage of the opportunity to dine here with my wife and mother-in-law on her birthday. I must say that this establishment is exceptional. The service was impeccable, the cuisine was delectable, and the ambiance was ideal. I highly recommend this restaurant and rate it 10 out of 10.”

“I've ordered a different item from the menu each time and have never been disappointed! Mi Casa is quickly becoming one of our regular spots!”

“Fun type Mexican style cantina/restaurant.”

“Great place. Came there since I was a baby and they still remember me. Good hearted people. Let me get a free soda for being a good customer. My relationship with them is wonderful. Food there tastes awesome. Won’t get Chinese food anywhere else. Highly recommend.

Kid-friendliness: Love kids. They might give them a treat or a soda.”

“Consistent high quality Chinese food for a carry-out. Some of the best, properly seasoned kung pao chicken I have eaten. Also very high quality pan fried port dumplings (eight large dumplings, not the usual six found at many carry outs).”

“We came this past weekend for my sister’s bachelorette brunch. Scott was AMAZING! We were a party of 18 and he was top notch. The drinks and food were delicious and the atmosphere was so inviting. We had such a fun time! Thank you for hosting us.”

“I absolutely love coming to this location! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming here. Thank you guys for being you!! Keep up the amazing work !!!”

“Fantastic food and great prices! The restaurant is clean, and the staff are friendly! My only wish is the veggie burger could have been homemade patty instead of the "Beyond Meat" patty they use. Solid 4.5 star!”

“As of August 2024, the sandwiches are $3.50/$2.50 and suuuper thick with meat. Very tasty and to the point; sandwiches could use a toasting but are otherwise solid.”

“Had an amazing time at Sangam Indian Cuisine Ellicott City with family and friends! The food was incredible - that Thalapakattu Goat Biryani, Paneer Pepper Fry, and Green Chilli Chicken were absolute winners! Felt so happy and content after a long time.”

“I stopped by for a quick lunch on sunday. Was in and out in less than 40 minutes. Asia was my server, very friendly and made sure I was taken care of quickly. The new Champagne Shrimp option was extra good that day.”

“just amazing, food was perfect.”

“A great business should definitely come and try these amazing deliciousness with great service. Remember, lemon chicken is just amazing. And then comes the Nashville chicken. Do not forget everything is Halal in this place.”

“This unassuming place serves delectable, 100% authentic Korean “pub grub.” The friendly owners took the time to explain the menu. They also made sure we had plenty to drink and eat throughout our stay. Our orders came out of the kitchen quickly…and the food was DELICIOUS! ?

The plain fried chicken was a bit bland (we ordered it for the young kids…so it was perfect for them). However, anything that is seasoned I’d recommend. The owner brought a free “sampler platter” of condiments to our table midway through our meal. This sampler included kimchi. I lived in Korea for 6 months; Seoul Pub boasts the best kimchi I’ve ever tried. The kimchi is both mild and complex in flavor.

The prices here are also amazingly reasonable. We ate well and drank well, yet our total pre-tip (for a party of 8 adults) was under $200.

I’d highly recommend Seoul Pub for a night of great Asian food and drinks (the Soju is delicious).”

“Good food with good service! I ate there several times as someone new to Korean food and enjoyed and left satisfied! I had the kimchi pancake, steamed eggs, and other dishes during my visits! All good experiences with good food! This place is worth a visit and worth a drive to try out Korean cuisine!”

“good food”

“Parking: A few spots in front of The Trolley Stop. There is a public parking lot right next door along the old street car right of way.

Kid-friendliness: I didn't see any kids there today but they are definitely kids friendly.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes”

“Laidback place, definitely come here if you have some time on your hands, the food is extremely delicious albeit the service a little slow. I can't really put them at fault considering how hard the staff work. Enjoyed doro tibs & doro wot & there's plenty of vegan options as well

Dietary restrictions: People with legume allergies might be concerned about the lack of selection but there's a few to order that're edelicious & allergy-free

Parking: In front of the restaurant, theres like an ample amount of spaces because its in a tucked-away strip mall”

“Great Thai restaurant, friendly staff. Best Penang and best Pad prik khing for miles around. We've been going for nearly 2 decades, always solid - never disappointed.”

“Add this spot to your coffee/brunch rotation!!

I’ve been to this cafe a couple of times and had great food and drinks both times. Most recently I went for Saturday brunch with a friend. I should have expected it, but the line was very long. That said, the girl at the counter was working her tail off not only talking orders but also making all of the beverages for each order (including seasonal lattes). Everyone in the kitchen seemed to be working non stop, so I give them kudos for such a delicious meal.

I got The Ian (toast with smoked salmon and poached eggs) and my friend got the OG breakfast bowl. Both were delicious and we cleaned our plates. We also both got oat milk PSL’s which were flavorful and yummy.

We sat upstairs, which was a bright and had plenty of extra seating despite the downstairs being pretty packed. We sat and talked for a while, and someone came around to ask how the meal was and take our dishes, which was nice. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly and helpful.

I didn’t order any baked goods, but I did notice they have a variety of Greek sweets as well as even some vegan baked goods. They all looked incredible, and I’ll be trying something next time.”

“If you're looking for great Korean food, Kim Bob Na Ra is a fantastic spot to satisfy your cravings. The moment you step in, the warm ambiance and friendly staff make you feel right at home.
Food: 9/10
The menu offers a wide variety of traditional dishes, with a special focus on kimbap. Each roll is made fresh, packed with vibrant vegetables, savory proteins, and seasoned rice, all wrapped in seaweed. The flavors are authentic, and you'll appreciate the attention to detail in every bite.

Service: 8/10
Service at Kim Bob Na Ra is prompt and attentive without being intrusive. The staff is knowledgeable about the menu and happy to recommend dishes based on your preferences.

Overall: 9/10
Kim Bob Na Ra is a must-visit for anyone who loves Korean cuisine or wants to explore it for the first time. The combination of fresh ingredients, authentic flavors, and a welcoming atmosphere makes for a delightful dining experience. I can't wait to return and try more dishes!”

“Amazing Brunch. Thank you Stelios and Giannis for the hospitality. We hope meet in future again. Greetings from Calgary - Canada.”

“The Crazy Mason is one of my favorite places to go for a quick treat. Their ice cream is fantastic, and I love that they use Blue Bell, which is hard to find in this area. My go-to favorites are the Short and Sweet, You’ve Gotta Be Pudding Me, and Top of the Morning. They also have amazing seasonal options—I really enjoyed the piña colada over the summer!

The quality is always top-notch, and the staff is so friendly and kind, which is refreshing to see. Even when they’re busy, they’re quick, accurate, and mindful of allergies. I’ve never had a negative experience here, and it’s always a fun treat we look forward to.

If you’re looking for delicious ice cream and a great atmosphere, The Crazy Mason is a must-visit!”

“Stopped by for the first time while dropping off my car nearby for a repair. So tasty!! The two ladies working were so lovely! The woman who was helping me as I paid even brought out fresh custard buns for me to take instead of the ones I got off the shelf! The plain latte I had was good and piping hot! Prices are very reasonable as well. I’ll definitely go back!”

“Amazing authentic fresh Japanese sushi and sashimi platters! My family and I have been coming here for years. Their platters are reasonably priced, high quality and delicious! We love ordering their platters for family gatherings, events, holidays and dinners with friends. Best sushi and sashimi in Maryland. Make sure to place your order 1-2 business days before you intend to pick up your order so they have time to prepare. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Highly recommend to everyone.”

“Pollo con tajadas full recomendado 🤝👍🏻🇭🇳🇭🇳🇭🇳”

“The food is good! The owner is nice. Been going here for close to 15 years? I went in my college days til now.
The hours posted on google are not accurate. They aren’t open on Tuesdays and on Saturdays they’re not open at 10am. Please fix this!”

“Great Dunkin’ Donuts. The employees are very kind and helpful.

Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options here and they are clearly labeled on the menu.

Parking: Plenty of parking lot outside of Dunkin’ Donuts!

Kid-friendliness: My kids love it here!”

“This place has the best fried chicken in Baltimore area.”

“great place to hang out and have some fantastic Korean munchies. very friendly service!”

“Lunch special 3 rolls for around $16, size could be better. All in all, not bad. They have multiple workers on the sushi line, so you know they're busy. I like coming here to catch up over sushi and not feel guilty over the price and not over indulge!!”

“🧑🏼‍🍳👍🏾This pizza was INCREDIBLE. Full stop. I am a pizza snob. I lived in New York City for 25 years and this place is next level🍕🗽I followed the young man who I believe own’s this place suggestion and tried a honey pepperoni slice. I know I know I KNOW. Sounds ridiculous but god Da%#!n it was off the hook. It is one of the best pizzas that I have ever had and definitely the best one EVER in Maryland. They serve slices! SLICES!!! 2 slices and a coke for 8 bucks is the afternoon special👌I am taking my little kid there. It is destination worthy.

Kid-friendliness: Most DEF kid friendly. An old fashioned route 40 circa K-Mart / Enchanted Forest friendly vibe”

“New favorite place after my first recent visit!”

“Recently ordered panini sandwiches (chicken and paneer) for a lunch party and all our guests LOVED them. The bread was nice and thick to hold the tasty and well-cooked paneer /chicken along with salad-like filler material. Great portion size, reasonably priced, and the order was ready on time. Samosas were also very good! Cakes were awesome as well - both black forest and butterscotch. True to their name!”

“Great service, quality and price!”

“Great service and best boba around.”

“I got an espresso machine for christmas and it takes very specific beans. I was asking Kira about which bean would be best, and they were so helpful. They called the boss and got all the info I needed. I told them I didn’t want to be any trouble, but they insisted and were so accommodating.
The coffee was also bomb, and came out quickly. I got the salted caramel cold brew which I highly recommend”

“I love the energy and service of the place. Bob you and workers have always been kind to me and my family thanks for giving life to water.”

“Long-term customer & always excellent!!”

“I really enjoyed the CA Chicken Club but w/o the onions, it was very tasty, came back the next day w/family and got W. Grilled Cheese w/tomato soup-super good! But also, their is a young lady Shayla who is just a wonderful blessing that works there.”

“Snow Ice and Gimbap. Next time I’m trying the Rice Cake Ramen.”

“Amazing location, I got the Strawberry Milk Tea and it was some of the best I've had from any location. I'm not a boba connoisseur, but I definitely know quality! It's located in a hot spot in Ellicot City. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!”

“This chicken is sooooo good. I get the golden original boneless wings. They are more like chicken tenders than wings in my opinion, but they are large so I'm not complaining at all. They are delicious. Little kick to them but I'm very sensitive to spice. Will continue to come back!!”

“Found it by mistake and WOW Pretty cool place with many interesting and delicious pastries to choose from. We had lunch and it was fabulous!!! Highly recommend”

“Great food, great staff, great atmosphere. The Ramen is amazing, the Kabobs are delicious. The kaarage and edamame were also wonderful. It’s a great spot, everyone is kind and respectful. Overall the environment was calm and quiet, but we went later in the night. 10/10 ramen spot. Every time I get a chance to go, it makes my day.

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s not the most wheelchair accessible. But they have DoorDash and take out options.”

“The food was delicious! Highly recommend hot crispy beef and the honey sesame eggplant!”

“I stopped by for a quick lunch on sunday. Was in and out in less than 40 minutes. Asia was my server, very friendly and made sure I was taken care of quickly. The new Champagne Shrimp option was extra good that day.”

“This is my new favorite place to eat in Ellicott City! First of all the food is incredible. The garlic sauce we ordered as an appetizer alone would have satisfied me but the food just keep getting better. So fresh and so flavorful!! The owner introduced himself and made us feel so welcome. Their story is incredible! The ambiance was absolutely lovely. They had live musicians who were extremely talented and added a tone that was fun and enjoyable but not at all overwhelming or too loud. The service was impeccable. I cannot recommend enough! We will definitely be going back very soon!”

“Nice area and my husband order the duck plate and ate at the restaurant. One week later we order duck plate again online. He love this service.”
