“This restaurant is a little gem tucked away but worth discovering. The food here is top rate. The lunch portions are perfectly sized, not too large but just enough. The servers are very attentive. There is a calm quietness about this place that makes eating a relaxing experience. The last time I was there with a couple of girlfriends was to celebrate a birthday, and our server encouraged us to stay as long as we wanted to. Even after we had paid her she continued to bring water over to us and to ask if we needed anything else. I highly recommend“

“We had an amazing to go dinner at Ekiben.We tried the spicy Neighborhood Bird as a bun, love to see a fried chicken thigh sandwich!We also had a beef bowl that could feed a small family. The fried tofu with peanut dressing was very unique. Only down aide is the small seating area, but we and most others were able to grab a table when needed. Also the workers were kind and full of information on the food!“
“Truly incredible food. Unique flavors and super friendly and helpful staff. We got the neighborhood bird bowl and the same thing on a bun and I texted three different people about it while eating. It was that good. Absolutely a must visit if you're in the area. The art on the walls, cool music, and alley entrance only add to the already incredible experience. Looking for lunch? Stop, you found the best.“
“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“
“FOODIE ALERT: Go! Wine list could use some help, but who cares when the quality of the fish and inventiveness of the dishes is too notch. The fish was outstanding.Vegetarian options: There are plenty of roles made for vegans and vegetarians“
“We went to do the poke, and wound up with soup, noodles and curry. Really good! The wonton soup had a really good dark, spicy broth (not vegetarian!). My wife's combination lo mein was really good, and the Thai curry with tofu was some of the best I've had.The owners were really fun to talk with, a couple of extroverts doing something they seem to really enjoy. Service was fast, fresh and very friendly! We dined in, "picnic style," as John described it! ? Extra star on the atmosphere for the conversation!I'll have to go back to sample more of the vegetarian options. The vegetables in my curry were no afterthought, but really good, and the firm tofu was really enjoyable. Not sure how to convey that, because the tofu isn't usually a highlight. It looks like even the banh mi if available veggie. Lots of options!Vegetarian options: It looks like all the main dishes are available with a veggie option. My tofu curry was really good, and not just a mish-mash without meat.“
“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.“
“By far the best food and service you will get dining at BWI. The rolls are all freshly made and better quality than you will get at most sushi restaurants. The servers are attentive and you can actually get service quickly, unlike most airport restaurants. A variety of high quality sake options, as well as Japanese beers.“
“I just had time to grab a bite before my flight. I found this Chinese place next to Concourse B, and it is pretty good. They have several combos at decent prices. But the best part was the friendly, smiling service by the employees on the line. In the hustle and bustle of the airport, this place stands out.“
“Don't come at me for liking this place. Yes it's expensive. Yes the view of the lake is nice and calming. Yes the servers aren't Japanese even if it's a Japanese restaurant. Yes it's right near Whole Foods which is probably part of why it's expensive. In comparison to the other sushi restaurants in the area, I think this place has enough ambiance things going on to justify the price. Also where else am I going to get eel avocado with that much green on it and thickly sliced eel? Salmon sashimi (ate it too quick) was thick, melt in the mouth, and delicious. Tempura udon was pretty good too. Went here for lunch and will probably be back!“
“I like eating here and any of the other branches of Sushi Q because you always know what you're gonna get if you dine in: miso soup, sushi, and a small cheesecake dessert in a consistently clean/ minimalist space. It's not the fanciest sushi in the area, but sometimes I just want to eat a whole bunch of eel avocado roll and that's what I can get here fresh and affordable. I like to dabble here and there with some of their specialty rolls, but they do my favorite kind so well. Service is scientifically efficient and food can take a little while to prepare, but I'm not usually in a big rush. There's always a line out the door for online/mobile orders. When dining in, there's hardly ever a wait even though it can get crazy busy during dinner. They also have good lunch specials here. We will be back for more.“
“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.“
“If you live in the local area, this place is a no-frills sushi place with pretty quick service and pretty presentation. My partner and I like to go here mid-week for dinner when we don't feel like cooking. All of the seats are wooden booth seating, which I really like. The waiters are professional and attentive, but don't circle back too often. The sushi we order doesn't have too much rice packed on like other places. On our most recent trip, I got the unagi don and he got the pork katsu curry. We will be back!“
“I would like to start off with amazing service. The cashier was so kind, accommodating, and made my day. I really do appreciate her. The food is healthy, fresh, and delicious. It makes me feel like i’m eating better! this is a company that sticks to their values. just amazing. Thank “
“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 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!“
“Awesome experience! I had super hot and gooey takoyaki, had a great bowl of udon with a very rich broth (off menu too, was offered by the server), and was given a complementary chilled cinnamon tea for desert. The server and staff was incredibly friendly. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the “
“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.“
“I had a great time for lunch the other day! The food was fresh and delicious- They had a huge selection- noodles, sushi! The staff was attentive and we got water right when we sat down. The restaurant was painted dark but had a lot of light coming in! It was a relaxed vibe for sure“
“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!“
“This was beyond what I expected from airport food. I got the Chicken Bento Box and it was SO much food, good quality, and presented well. The woman behind the counter was actually polite!! And she seemed like she didn't hate her job, so it made the experience feel that much more satisfying. I would happily walk to this food spot every time I have a lay-over in BWI. Thank you for being here ❤️“
“Our son goes to UMBC & took him out to lunch last Saturday & we picked this Bonchon location. Was afraid the chicken would be meh but it was actually very good. We got an order or 8 mixed - half soy & half spicy. Got another 8 of spicy & some bulgogi fried rice. The wings were fried perfectly. I thought the spicy would be mild given this is a chain restaurant catering to 'Muricans but it was very spicy. Great flavor, but the spiciness builds. We really enjoyed both. Will try the other sauces next time. The fried rice was superb. Definitely recommend this place & we'll eat here again in the future when we take our son out for lunch.“
“This is a super intimate neighborhood spot boasting an extensive all you can eat sushi menu!!!! I visited last night with my bestie and we enjoyed the Pink Lady Roll, Godzilla Roll and Shrimp Fried Rice. I had never had a pink lady roll but they always looked so pretty in pictures so it was a must try! I loved it! The tuna and steamed shrimp paired perfectly. The Godzilla roll was crunchy and had just the right amount of saltiness. The fried rice was steaming hot and, with a dash of soy sauce, became the perfect addition to the meal.The restaurant itself is small inside but it adds to the intimate vibes. I would definitely recommend as a date night sushi place or a girls night like we had. The drinks are very reasonable and do not Disappoint! Try them while you finish up your holiday shopping in the area and thank me later!“
“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 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.“
“I haven't had Mi & Yu in a long time and was super impressed. The staff was helpful when I was ordering and helped me order. I got ramen with fried chicken. The chicken was very favorite and made for a perfect bowl of soup for a cold day!“
“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 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!“
“The food is delicious and the staff are friendly. I got the beef with broccoli, tender juicy pieces and the broccoli has the right amount of crunch to it. Rice wasn't dry and the egg rolls are top notch. Most Oriental joints don't use spring roll paper so you get a lot of "dough" and no crunch with your egg roll. Asian Kitchen does it right with spring roll paper a small bits of shrimp inside of these crunchy treats. I'll also give it to them for using Fortune Cookies that actually have fortunes inside instead of life advice.“
“Chicken Tikka Masala pizza......wouldn't have thought I'd love it this much but I legit drive about 30 min when I gotta have one. The rest of the menu has been very tasty but for me? The star is that pizza, and careful with the spiciness if you're sensitive to heat “
“Super service for our party of 33 + 20.Very attentive. Good was delicious and delivered quickly. (We ordered ahead.)Thanks to Z the hospitality manager. He remembers names so well.The following servers did an outstanding job with our crowd. Andrew, Rachel, Melanie, and Kamron.We’ll be back.Vegetarian options: We lived the eggplant. Tofu, green beans, rice.“
“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“
“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.“
“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.“
