“Let me preface this review by saying I fully expected to call this place overrated, I was completely wrong.It is the best fried chicken I’ve ever had. I got the neighborhood bird sandwich, spicy. Incredibly flavorful, the crunch and crispy chicken was insane. The sauce was hot while still maintaining actual flavor and not feeling like it was too hot. The homemade pickles were a nice crisp and cool addition. Absolutely incredible. Best chicken sandwich ever.10/10.“
“What did I do before Ekiben? This place has become a weekly stop for me. The food is packed with flavor and consistently delivers time after time. My favorite items are the ancho chile pork bowl, the tempura broccoli and the spicy walnut shrimp. If this place delivered it would be game over for me, I'd be eating it every day!“
“This spot's noodles were highly touted and rightfully so. These are among the best noodles I've had in my life.I've been three times and the noodles are consistently the highlight. On one occasion my proteins were dry which is why it's "only" four stars but it's looking like that was an isolated incident.The service was exceptional. The lady at the counter and her little girl were adorable together as they took my order. I don't know if it's a ploy to get a bigger tip out of me but it worked.I'd highly recommend visiting Kokoyami when you're in the Windsor Mill/ Catonsville area.“
“Stop by for a late night place to eat.There's a neighborhood can get sketchyThey had direct parking outside.The food service and atmosphere was absolutely fantastic.Even though it was very crowded when a late Saturday night the food came out quickly and was awesomeDefinitely worth a try“
“Domoishi was delicious. It's a diverse menu from the sushi to the ramen, bulgogi buns, Teas and the spicy soy garlic wings--everything was delicious. Personally, the ramen and chicken wings are my favorites. I'm a fan of the spicy miso base with added beef and onions--it hits all the right notes. The atmosphere at Domoishi is chill and welcoming, and the staff was friendly. As for pricing, it's reasonable considering the quality and variety offered. Having been here a few times I recommend giving it a try. Looking forward to exploring more of their menu on my future visits!“

“This was my go to restaurant growing up nearby. They have the best miso i have ever tasted, quality california rolls and their wasabi is top notch!! I live a half hour away now but it is worth the drive just for pickup, amazing service. Its next to panera a little hidden gem of towson that produces such flavor.“
“Between portion size, the obvious skill and care they put into their food, and busy takeout orders, it can take a little to get your food since it seems like they always have like two people total. But the food itself always makes it worth it. Always delicious, always too much to finish. They take care of you. Plus honestly the smaller shop and relaxed atmosphere can be a good way to unwind from hectic days. There’s good sushi places closer to where we live, but if it’s date night sushi it’s always Kiku’s.“
“Tacos, egg rolls, and sushi. What a combo. And they do all of them superbly! My group came for a trivia night and really enjoyed it! They had beer specials for trivia. Most of their seating is bar stool, no back. It's not my preference, but they do have a couple standard tables with booth/chair seating.“
“Great addition to the area which needs variety. Food was fresh and hot -got the shrimp tempura poke bowl which was absolutely delicious. First time trying a poke bowl and curious about other items on the menu. Will definitely be back. A must try!“
“This place is great. Staff is friendly and food is excellent. I did pick up tonight and I don't think it's any different for pick up then it is for in house service. Noodles and rice for little ones if they haven't been introduced to the Asian cuisine. A little bit of a drive for me to p/u but worth it.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible at drop off. Most parking is at the bottom of the hill. Worth it though!“
“This place is centrally located in Mount Vernon near the Walter’s Museum. It has excellent poke bowls and the steak/shrimp sandwich is great. I try to eat here once or twice a month. The owners are very sweet and it’s mostly to-go although there are a few tables.“
“The service was quick & friendly. I ordered the beef bento box & strawberry boba tea and it was definitely worth it. I also recommend their spicy tuna maki roll if you want something light! My go to place for a quick bite down the inner harbor.“
“I got the squid bulgogi for takeout which came out to about 13 dollars. I love Korean food and I will say this place is decent (obvs not the best Korean food you will ever have but pretty delicious imo). The stir-fried squid was tasty with right amount of heat. The squid is stir-fried with some veggies and served with rice. It was a good filling lunch for a reasonable price. I will come back when I am craving Korean food. If you like seafood and spicy food, I highly recommend squid bulgogi!“
“This place is BOMBBB! I love everything about this place and the food is amazing. My favorite thing about this place is their Mango Tango Green Tea. It does it for me every single time! No other place has perfected mango green tea like them (ask for extra sweet if you don’t wanna taste the green tea). It’s bomb. And I love the lady at the counter. She so nice and welcoming. Everyone there is hardworking too. Anyways, I love this place!“

“The Pork Belly Buns are to die for. The service at all of the businesses is always great. It's typically pretty loud. This is not the place if you want quiet ambiance and intimate conversation. But if it's fast service, nice folks, and great food, you're in luck.“
“So I regular here every Tuesday for karaoke with some friends. Food is great. Very welcoming.. no judgement atmosphere. Service is pretty quick with getting your food to you. I usually get the wings and fries. All the wing flavors are good. Beware of the spicy Mayo lol very spicy! I love “
“I love coming here to grab a bite, enjoy a coffee, and get some work done. There are a good number of outlets, so you can use laptops. Weekdays tend to be much lighter than the busier weekends. The food really is fantastic, with lots of good healthy options. I love the build your own bowl with spicy garlic chicken over chopped super greens.“
“Today was the second time i ordered food from Sakura 2 and they never fail. Perfect for a late night meal. I have ordered cheesesteak egg rolls for my friend and she said its the best she ever had. Its hot crispy and fresh. I ordered sushi which was good but the drunken noodles are amazing!!! I love this place! Thank you!“
“Ikkyu is inside Lotte's food court and is my favorite choice out of the 4 restaurants inside! Tonkatsu 10/10- crispy, lots of sauce- comes with rice, pasta salad with cucumbers, a side salad, pickled yellow radish, and a small bowl of miso soup - they used to also give kimchi but I guess they updated the menu Once you order, they'll call your order name/number on the intercom once it's finished. Service is relatively quick!“
“Had a wonderful dinner. We started with a few appetizers and then shared an entrée that was plenty for both of us. The wait staff was exceptional and very attentive. The food was excellent in flavor, quality, & quantity. We even had leftovers.“
“I love this place! Their service is always fast, friendly and the food comes out quickly. Their broth is always super flavorful and fresh. I usually order the brisket pho which is packed with noodles and they don't skimp out on the brisket meat. Definitely one of my favorite comfort food places in Mount Vernon!!“
“I’ve been eating at this restaurant for about a year I normally just order via DoorDash or GrubHub but I’ve been in twice to pick up a order I will say the neighborhood leaves a little bit to be desired. I’ve never had any issues nor have I ever gotten sick from here. When I placed my phone order the lady who took my order was very pleasant and she was nice when I came in. From what I could see the place was clean, they had a mask as well as gloves which made me feel very comfortable. I will continue to order and eat from here this is my go to!“
“So I finally had the opportunity to get myself some food from Peking Court and I must admit it really was good & I'm quite glad that I stopped by! My friend rice was fresh not sticky and the orange chicken was full of flavor....I usually save some food for later, but I wound up eating it all???...Yup, I'll be going back!??“
“I’ve been to Mi & Yu before for ramen but wanted to try the milk tea they are now offering. I went in around 2pm on a weekday and it was not busy at all. The service was nice and fast. I ordered the regular milk tea with boba. It was good and made quickly. I’m glad to have a boba place nearby and I’ll definitely be back to try different kinds!“
“I food this little "hole in the wall" place with my husband and we love it! We live about 35 minutes away and every time we are near the area, we specifically stop here. We've been about 6/7 times so far and will definitely be going back! My husband always gets his a very specific way and they are always super polite and make it just the way he asks! Mines always absolutely delicious. It always is hot and well worth the money! Happy to have found this place!“
“I love fried chicken. A lot. Maybe too much. Okay definitely too much. And this place has some tasty chicken. What knocks it down 1 star is the wait times I've experienced. Still worth eating at. I don't do bubble tea but my youngest kid loves it and he raves.“
“We love this place for sushi, we normally don't get anything else because the sushi is very good. The prices are very reasonable for their standard rolls and the premium rolls are decently priced also. The sushi always tastes fresh, and the rolls are a nicely sized compared to other local restaurants that we have tried for sushi. We normally always get take out, so can't comment too much on the dinning in setting“
“If you like Thai food you will love this restaurant. Everything is delightfully fresh and has amazing flavor. It's a little less spicy than similar restaurants, but the portion sizes are great. My favorite app is the Chicken Satay and I always seem to order the Pad Thai, but the red curry is a very close 2nd.Tucked away in Paradise, this is a great treat.“
“I ordered the Beef Chow Fun and Chicken with Black bean sauce. The food was good. The menu was your typical take out menu with some extra items which was unexpected like a section for some Thai food which I didn’t try yet. They only have one size for all of their menu items. There are no small or large. They have a lunch special but no dinner special. They cater take out only right now. Overall, the food was good. Would recommend!“
“The banh mi is top notch here. I've shopped around at different offerings. But so far they have the better of the bunch. Still looking for that one that's the best for me. Pho broth can be borderline salty, which can mask the richness of a good flavored broth. Pick up food if you're around. One a the few spots in the city to get vietnamese food“

“We usually go to Kippo Ramen in Fells Point. However, since it was 4:15 and Kippo opens at 5:00, we headed to Katana for ramen. Besides the ramen which was delicious, we also had an order of salmon skin sushi and gyoza. If you have room for dessert, try the mango sticky rice. The whole meal was reasonably priced and very tasty. Parking in this part of town is easy in the afternoon.“
“Wonderful experience from start to finish! Great waitress, good food and nice ambiance inside restaurant. Great for a special occasion. We were there 4pm on a Sunday, and it wasn't very busy - but we did come at an odd time, after lunch and before dinner crowd. It did start to fill up as we were leaving.Parking: You can have our ticket validated inside restaurant for free parking.“
“This place is such an institution, it probably doesn’t really need another review. However maybe this would be helpful for people who are not as interested in the double fried chicken as their dining mate is. My friend ordered the boneless chicken wings and was elated at the decadent, umami flavors, and what’s not to like with all that salt and fat? I ordered the crispy tofu bibimbob, the somewhat more healthful choice. The tofu was appropriately crispy, but not overly so, and happily not too salty. If anything, it maybe leaned towards the bland side. Plenty of rice, vegetables and sauce on the side, served in a warm stone bowl. it was a pretty cool sensory experience, but an underwhelming taste experience. I suppose that’s what you get for going to Bon Chon and ordering something other than double fried chicken. ? the service was very attentive and friendly.“
“My wife and I celebrated Chinese New Year by ordering take out dinner from Mr. Chan last week. We always enjoy the cuisine at Mr. Chan. The egg drop soup is always tasty. The spring rolls are always perfect. The deluxe chow mein is always excellent. We recommend this place.39.3725939, -76.7218534This is the location of the entrance to the Mr. Chan parking lot at the rear of the restaurant.“
