“Excellent food, fresh and beautifully presented; outstanding attentive service.”
“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!”

“Tiny place with fairly big portions, big taste and not too crazy prices. Lots of veggies in their dishes. Fortunately the veggies were not overcooked. This isn’t your typical American-Chinese carry-out place. Very well kept and clean. They were very busy with takeouts.”
“I cannot say enough good things about our wedding cake! It was absolutely delicious—so many guests came up to me saying it was the best cake they’ve ever had. People were genuinely shocked when they found out it was vegan! Not only did it taste amazing, but it was also stunning—exactly what I envisioned. Working with Sarah was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She really listened to what I wanted and brought it to life beautifully. I’m so happy we chose her for such a special part of our day!”

“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.”
“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!”

“My son and I went to Georgia Grace for breakfast. The food was exceptional, but what stood out the most was the excellent service and going above and beyond mentality of the owner and staff. My son wanted lemonade and was upset because they only had frozen lemonade. The owner overheard us, went behind the bar, made him a fresh lemonade, brought it to him, and didn’t even charge us for it. What an amazing gesture toward a 6 year old and us as customers. We will always remember that.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Nestled in a bustling shopping center alongside Honey Pig, Chin Xi'an Style Restaurant is a hidden gem that specializes in handpulled, numbing Szechuan noodles.
During our Saturday lunch visit, the restaurant was buzzing with activity. Limited seating means you might have to wait 5-10 minutes for a table during peak times, but trust me, it’s worth it. The atmosphere is casual yet vibrant, perfect for a quick meal.
We started with the 12 Hour Stewed Pork Hand Pulled Noodles and the Spicy Pork Noodles, alongside the “you pick 3” cold dishes: dried tofu skin, sweet heat cabbage, and shredded potatoes. We couldn’t resist adding a Spicy Cumin Beef Murger, served in a crisp baked flatbread.
The handpulled noodles were undeniably the highlight. Each strand was perfectly al dente, with just the right amount of chew. The stewed pork noodles stole the show—flavorful, tender, and the kind of comfort food that warms your soul. The spicy pork noodles were a bit of a letdown in comparison; while enjoyable, they lacked the bold flavor profile that made the stewed pork so memorable.
The cold dishes were a delightful accompaniment. The crunchy texture of the shredded potatoes and sweet heat cabbage provided a refreshing contrast to the chewy noodles. They added a nice touch of variety to our meal.
As for the Murger, it was decent. The cumin flavor was prominent and well-executed, making it a satisfying choice to round out our meal.
Overall, Chin Xi'an is an excellent spot for those craving authentic Szechuan flavors. The noodles are the star, and with a few tweaks to some dishes, this place could easily elevate itself to must-visit status. If you find yourself in Ellicott City, make sure to stop by for a taste of their handpulled noodles—you won’t regret it!
Vegetarian options: several vegetarian options
Parking: plenty of adjacent lot parking
Kid-friendliness: menu is somewhat friendly to kids as long as they like noodles
Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant can get a little cramped at peak hours for a wheelchair. No stairs present is a plus”

“I love Izzy! She’s the best. From the moment I walked in, her kind and friendly nature made the whole place feel so warm and welcoming. She went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. I definitely will be coming back because of her! <3 Would recommend the crazy cookie!”

“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Aa a long time Ledo Pizza lover, the Ellicott City location is one of the best! As long time Ledo Pizza lovers, we visited Ellicott City location on Tuesday, May 27th around 1 PM. We ordered an 18” meatball, pre-cooked bacon, and hamburger pizza. It was the best! We thought w3e had traveled back in time! It was the closest we’ve ever had to the original Ledo Pizza that was in Adelphi, MD! We were so happy! The tomato sauce was the original recipe! We loved it so much, we decided to order an extra cheese and mushroom pizza to go.”
“I am visiting Ellicott city. I decided this restaurant Because of good reviews. I have the very nice and pleasant experience here. Terry is so kind, and the foods are excellent. I strongly recommend this restaurant.”

“Best Korean fried chicken wings ever!!! The house sauce was gold! The rice is legit! I had to edit my review because the second time we came the service was not so great. Great food but the server we initially got has to work on her attitude. She kept ignoring me and my partner when clearly we were here before other guest. She ended up taking the other guest order first. Not a big deal but the slow service did it for me. I recommend take out.”
“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”
“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 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.”

“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!”
“Went here after a wedding and had a blast. The barmaid was very helpful in suggesting good drinks and beers to try. Never had to wait long for a drink even though she was working the bar herself, and it was pretty busy. I will definitely go back next time I am in town”
“wow just wow!!! I'm overseas and called the restaurant to pay for my family while they are there....unfortunately my credit card declined since I'm overseas and the manager Xavier (EC,MD) took it upon himself and paid for them himself! I used to work at Outback back in the day and their hospitality has not changed. well done!!!”

“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!”
