“Had a lovely late lunch today at the new Frederick location. Sushi was very fresh. Both the sexy jalapeño and the garlic chili tofu appetizers were delicious. The restaurant is beautiful with a throw back vibe. Can’t wait to sit at the sushi bar, and outside. Our server Jefferson was attentive and very nice.“

“Amazing food and great atmosphere inside and outside dining! The owner and chef is super friendly. Loved also seeing art work on display for sale. Will visit again!“

“This place is by far the best casual eating and drinking, family-friendly place I have experienced. Everyone is very friendly. The regulars are the kind of people that will give up their seat to an older person. Very polite and sincere. The staff is more than accomodating, prompt and respectful. Miss Jenna is amazing, with a very caring personality. She'll make sure your visit is a happy experience. Miss Taylor, with her contagious smile is always a pleasure to deal with. Both these ladies, and the guys, and all the support staff are the kind if people you just want to be around. Even when things get busy, their professionalism never fades. I can't say enough good things. Stop in and see for yourself. You won't be disapointed. Thank you Miss Joyce and Mr. Josh for assembling a much appreciated group of professionals. They are a fun group.“

“Great workers great owners great store! Best gelato on the street come by and check it out“

“You know the best food comes out of the little holes in the wall restaurants, right? Unpretentious, even hard to find if you follow Garmin GPS, but amazing food. This is it, the little gem of Ethiopian food off the beaten path in Ellicot City. Never packed in the restaurant, but always a pickup order going out the door. Beef, lamb, chicken wots (stews) plus vegetarian dishes are all available. Don't know what to order, just ask. Don't forget the doro wot for the fun of the hard boiled egg. Veggie sides give your mouth a break from the spicy dishes so you can dive back in. Take your Tums if this is new to you. If raw beef kitfo doesn't appeal, just ask them to cook it.

Even a little shop next door for you if you want to try your hand at Wots at home. Yes, you do want to try it. Warm stews simmering away on a cold, snowy day while you shovel snow, come in and grab some injera and go to town on warm and spicy stews. Oh yes. Don't forget to give your cardiologist a headache and make a batch of Shiro on the side because no one needs that much butter, but damn it's good when you do.

If you've never had Ethiopian food before, grab a friend and go here. Its quiet enough that you won't get lost in it all. Then hit the Ethiopian places around the Baltimore Symphony Meyerhoff building to advance your experience. Then go full on, hit up Silver Spring aka Little Ethiopia for the full immersion experience.“

“Great service and best boba around.“

“Stopped in Monday night (February 23 2026) Ice cream was great. The associate at the time was awesome and very kind. We really appreciate them.“

“I tried the Nashville hot chicken sandwich a couple weeks ago. Thought it was fantastic. We did it again last night and was super disappointed. I don't know if we ordered something incorrectly or it was made wrong. It seemed like there was no sauce at all. but we have ordered several times since then so 🤷 one off night but that sandwich has become my go to when ordering there.“

“Absolutely fantastic food - everything was so fresh and flavorful. The spice was perfect too! I do like spicy food and this was just right. Can't wait to go back. We ordered Thai Sweet Basil Beef, drunken noodles, Papaya salad and mango and sticky rice. Everything was top notch!“

“Love it for ice cream! We didnt go here for years because the store signage isn't clear as to what the store is. They probably lose a lot of revenue because its not clear that this is an ice cream shoppe to people passing by. Store branding and marketing needs some investing and I bet they double their sales this summer.“

“We visited this evening. Food was fantastic! I really enjoyed the soup dumplings! The staff was super courteous. I had brought in dessert (a cake) from outside and they were super nice about it. They even offered to refrigerate it for us! After dinner, they brought us fresh plates, forks and a knife. Despite being very busy they also don't rush you too much.“

“Great little spot. Good food, reasonable prices, and friendly service. There were a lot of Koreans eating there, so I assume/infer it's pretty authentic (but I'm not knowledgeable enough to know myself).

The eating area is very plain and no frills, but it's sufficient.

The bulgogi was very tasty. The dumplings were nice and crispy. Everything came out hot. The garnishes and mini soft drink at the end were a nice touch.

I thought my bulgogi was a bit heavy on the onions. And the dumplings could have used a little sauce. But overall, highly recommended.“

“I think I just found my new favorite chicken place! Tender pieces made for eating on the go, just like at a street market. Pleasantly salty, and perfectly spicy. Their fries are very tasty as well. The price is very reasonable and a great value. Honestly, one order of chicken is enough for two people to split, but you'll be fighting for that last morsel! I highly recommend Jumbo Jumbo!“

“It is located in a very cool area of Ellicott City.. So much talent to witness on the Popup jazz night. I hate to say this but the servers are not friendly and the good is average but drinks are great and every who comes to listen are friendly.“

“Nearly every Saturday for the past 4 years we have been going to Ernestos. Yes, we are the old couple that sits in the same booth, orders the same food, and same drinks lol. Very exciting. I just wanted to take a quick second to shout them out. Their margaritas are amazing, their food is consistently great and the service is awesome. If you are looking for a locally owned great priced restaurant, look no further. Their happy hours are top notch and they give teachers a discount ❤️. Say hi to our girl Amy if you drop by. Ernestos Mexican Restaurant's MD“

“We have been to Uma Uma 3 or 4 times but we live in Florida so we don’t come nearly as often as we like. Always have fantastic service, delicious food and a pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“UNO Pizzaria is nostalgic, and nothing is better when you crave what you remember AND receive it! Jahir was fantastic and made us feel so welcomed! Drinks came out quickly, and the food was delicious! The Margherita pizza had the perfect amount of sauce and cheese, the wild mushroom pizza was decadent but not heavy, and the ribeye steak with shrimp was cooked exactly as ordered. I also placed an order to go, and Jahir took the time to double check the order and make sure everything was correct.“

“Good old Ellicott city vibe. Went for dinner around 9:45 pm on a Saturday. They had a local band playing… they were great. The place seemed like it caters to mostly older crowd but has a dun vibe. The wings were just okay. The burger was banging. The drinks were perfect. Will
Recommend and will go back for sure .“

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

“The food, staff, and atmosphere is always great.“

“Always thrilled with the quality of food and service at this location. They're all so accommodating and kind, and it's nice to rely on the fact the meal will always be good. Great deals before 3pm, too! We get the California rolls and salmon teriyaki and have never had an unpleasant experience.“

“awesome boba tea..warm vibes“

“We come from York County pa, originally from Maryland, but we live in PA now we stumbled upon this place and it’s absolutely wonderful. Fish cakes are amazing. We’ve been getting the appetizers and they just are so filling and wonderful. I highly recommend 10 out of 10.“

“The lemonade is so delicious. This place is so cute and cozy. I recommend this place“

“This was my second time eating here. The last time was years ago, and they didn't include lettuce with the BBQ, which was one of the reasons I started going elsewhere. However, my sister chose this restaurant for her birthday, so we gave it another try.
I'm happy to say they now include lettuce! The banchan was decent, the kimchi was delicious, and the BBQ was excellent. We ordered the second combo with the samgyeopsal and marinated beef. My brother-in-law did the grilling (as usual!), and I ordered the large naengmyeon (cold noodles in a delicious icy broth). I ate until I felt like I was going to explode!
The only downsides were that the space felt a bit cramped, and the prices were slightly higher than the other Korean restaurant we usually visit on Bethany Lane. Nevertheless, the most important thing is that the food tasted authentically Korean. 😋 The waitress was also very attentive, which made the experience even better.“

“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!“

“went here yesterday with my partner. We got the calamari, fries with vinegar, margherita pizza and he got a sausage pepperoni pizza. Best pizza in Maryland we've had so far (and that's coming from a NY authentic Italian)! we will absolutely be back!“

“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.“

“I love their tomato soup. The only I wish is that they give more of the noodles in the soup. I also tried their Salmon Alla Griglia. That salmon was cooked to perfection. I also like that they give alot of vegetables with the meal. I be full off that meal!“
