If you're looking for a really good Chinese or Sushi, this is one of the best in Baltimore. After six years finally open again for dine-in. Fresh ingredients, carefully prepared, spotless clean restaurant and very friendly staff. Absolutely awesome. We ate five different sushi and four cooked dishes. Everything was phenomenal, it's a wonderful family owned business. We'll be back soon!

They are under new management! They now accept touch and Apple/Google pay the food is different. I'm still deciding if I like it more or less but overall its still a good and affordable option but some prices have increased.
Doesn't Matter

I have been eating at American Asain for over 15 years. This has always been a local spot thst I've loved. I noticed new owners took over and the name was changed today when I drove there to see if they were open because no one answered when I called. Understandable because only one man was running the orders himself.
The man at the counter was nice and the food was ready pretty quickly for ordering in. The renovations look nice. I wasn't super happy to see half of the sushi they had pre-owner change are no longer on the menu. The man at the counter said they still have the same chefs but I didn't recognize a single face there... I went ahead and tried them since he said the chefs were the same, but they most definitely aren't. Someone with 15 years of tastebud memories would know, lol.
Good: Crunchy tuna roll was actually better than before, Alaskan roll was also good, California roll was OK, but that's a basic roll anyway. Crab Ragoons were also good and mixed green salad and ginger dressing were good too.
Bad: Hot and Sour soup isn't like it use to be. Not a crazy amount of flavor and too thick/slime like bits in it. Miso soup had good flavor but no seaweed pieces like the old chefs added. Kung Pao Chicken use to be one of my favorites. Extremely blan even though I ordered it extra spicy. No spice at all. Chicken had a weird flavor but I'm very weird about my chicken. Definitely not at all like the old chefs made it, not even the same type of chicken used. Vegetables were also not cooked enough in my opinion. Egg roll was also not good at all.. hard to bite.. mushes when you try to bite it...and the inside was like.. not all the way done or full or something.. idk.. not for me.. don't think it was done enough. The old egg rolls were awesome.
Would eat here again for their sushi, but not sure that I would risk trying any of the other chinese/entree dishes offered. I spent about $50 on all of this, so pricing is still good, but if they tell you the chefs are the same, don't believe them and don't order as you usually would. Try things knowing it is a new place vs expecting the old American Asain amazing food. (I don't believe any of the old chefs or workers still work there and I didnt see a single person I recognized)

First, let me be very clear: this is no longer American Asian. The restaurant is now Asian Burmese Kitchen, under new ownership and unfortunately, the food and service are not the same. I ordered Christmas dinner expecting the American Asian we’ve loved for years. I spent $157.62, which wasn’t an issue because locals know how good this place used to be. I placed my large order in advance on Christmas Eve with a 4:00 PM pickup time. I arrived at 4:00 and my order wasn’t ready. Not a huge deal I waited 30 minutes. But honestly, what’s the point of ordering ahead if the food isn’t ready at the scheduled time? When we finally got home, the problems really started. The California rolls had mayo, despite being told no mayo when ordering. When I called to fix their mistake, instead of replacing the sushi, I was charged an additional $14 to get the correct sushi and a pork egg roll that should’ve already been in my order. The shrimp fried rice was completely different dry and disgusting. The General Tso’s chicken had way more heat than before (my husband didn’t mind, but it’s not the same recipe). The egg rolls were awful like eating sandpaper stuffed with vegetables. The Philly rolls had also changed and didn’t taste anything like they used to. Overall, this was the worst food experience I’ve had here, and I’ve been a loyal customer for five years. Since the ownership change, the quality has clearly declined. A new name and new owners mean you need to build your own reputation, not ride on the reputation of American Asian. Asian Burmese Kitchen is definitely not the spot.
Rest in peace, American Asian you will be deeply missed by everyone in the neighborhood.
P.s everyone in my house is sick as hell today after eating from here

This is the first time I have visited this restaurant and I got take out. I don’t like sauce so I got their chicken and Asian mixed vegetables with no sauce and their garden rolls. The portions are fantastic and these garden rolls will become a frequent craving for sure.

The Asian American restaurant features a wide variety of East and Southeast Asian dishes. Fortunately, I reviewed the menu online. Otherwise, it would have taken me forever to decide. The 8 Japanese shrimp dumplings were crispy and well stuffed with a tasty dipping sauce. Tom Yum Soup was perfectly tangy and spicy as expected. The Thai Basil main dish with rice was delicious. Service was prompt and professional. My only disappointment was the fact that the restaurant offers only carryout these days. After driving 40 miles for a meeting, I was looking forward to a relaxing lunch. Instead, I drove home to take my meal there. Clearly, the Asian American is a great neighborhood establishment. The large, inexpensive servings of quality food will likely bring me back when next I am in the area, and I will be well prepared to take my order home.

drunken noodles practically dry not spicy hardly any chicken and the green curry dish sauce was like milky hardly any flavor
If you have nut allergies DO NOT EAT HERE!! On Saturday evening, I ordered beef with broccoli, shrimp egg foo young, and spring rolls. After having a few bites, I went into anaphylaxis and literally could have DIED!! They are obviously either doing A LOT of cross contamination with nuts OR they are cooking in nut oils WITHOUT saying so on their menu/website — this is SO dangerous to those who are allergic. This review is not to bash the restaurant, it is to WARN those who are allergic to nuts to avoid this place and I hope the restaurant will take this seriously and either ensure they are not cross contaminating or to LET PEOPLE KNOW THEY ARE USING NUT OILS TO PREPARE THE ENTIRE MENU!!

I ordered the beef pepper steak, boneless spare ribs, vegetable tempura, and crab Rangoon. I was expecting great food since the reviews are high but maybe they’ve changed cooks or owners because the food was just edible. Everything was over salted and I was so disappointed.

Consistently good food. Their tofu is the best around. It’s also so reasonably priced!

Our go to. Food is reliably good. Portions are generous.

Best General Tsos in the area and fried gyoza is a must!
