    Hot and sour soup - do not recommend...
    Mitasha P.

    I decided to try American Asian for takeout after seeing several mixed reviews about the place. What I like about this place is that they had a Dinner Special menu, while most place solely have a Lunch Special. From the Dinner Special menu, I ordered the Kung Pao and Szechuan Style Roast Pork (both $10.95). Each item comes with a choice of egg roll (pork, shrimp, or veg) and a side order. All this for $10.95 is a good deal. I got the Veg and Pork egg roll and for the sides, I got the hot and sour soup and another spring roll. The spring rolls were decent. They were a bit of the greasy end, but tolerable. The hot and sour soup, however, was terrible. There was nothing sour about it and it was incredibly thick. Above all, it was bland and absolutely no flavor. I highly suggest you choose a different side with your order. The Kung Pao beef was good. It had the usual peanuts and peppers, but also zucchini which I thought was an interesting addition. The Szechuan style roast pork was also enjoyable. It had a slight kick and lots of shredded carrots. I also got the Crispy Beef since I saw it was one of their popular dishes on Yelp. I have to say though, it was too sweet for me and not very crispy at all. One thing I do wish, is they would provide more rice. The meat to rice ratio is like 3:1. It's not a dealbreaker for me since I could always make more rice at home, but if I were to dine in, I would hate to have to pay extra for more rice. In the takeout bag, they also gave me two free almond cookies :) All in all, I would definitely order take out from here again considering the prices and that the food was actually pretty decent. It didn't take too long, maybe 20 minutes, for the food to be ready. I decided to try American Asian for takeout after seeing several mixed reviews about the place.

    Shrimp fried rice

    Since moving to Catonsville a few years ago, we have not had a lot of luck with finding the perfect Chinese restaurant. One of our favorite dishes is shrimp fried rice and for some reason we have only found one place in Marriottsville that makes it the way we like it. Tonight, I think we found a new place to get food from a little closer to our home. We got an order of gyoza, crispy beef and shrimp fried rice. All dishes were very good and service could be done all online. My husband went to pick it up and everything was ready to go. Very nice staff and everything had a good flavor. We will be trying some more of their dishes soon!

    Steamed Pork Dumpling

    Best Chinese Food Arbutus.. that is what everyone said so my husband and I tried it out and got hooked! I am a big fan of the steamed dumplings. I like to cut them in half and soak in the hoisin sauce before eating. I like the General Tso chicken, Hunan Chicken, and Sesame Chicken. I am a enjoy eating chicken! My husband usually gets the Shrimp fried rice and crab rangoon. Both delicious! They use large size shrimp and not those weird tiny shrimp. They also serve Sushi and Thai food. I ordered the Drunk Noodles one night but thought they were a little bland. Drunk noodles are usually pretty spicy so that was disappointing. Occasionally I have ordered an eel roll or something else cooked but I generally order from Sushi-Q if I want Sushi. The Sushi here is OK if you don't want to drive to Elkridge but we tend to stick to the Chinese Food. COVID PRECAUTIONS ABOUND! This is the most cautious restaurant I have seen/ They stopped doing delivery and closed down the dining room at the start of the pandemic so they are now CARRY OUT ONLY. They built a vestibule by the door with thick plexiglass like you see at a gas station in the cirty. They put the food in a bag through a little door. I applaud their efforts to remain open and stay safe during the pandemic.

    Krab Rangoon
    Julia S.

    We decided that we wanted to get Chinese to support. I did some research but there are not a ton of options in this area. All the other reviews said that it's very hit or miss and the consistency isn't great. We ordered some app favorites in Rangoon & egg roll. The Rangoon was heavy on the cheese and it didn't come with a dipping sauce. The egg roll had ok flavor but was a bit greasy. We also ordered steam pork dumplings. The meat inside was really well seasoned but the dough part was way too thick - it was like a Russian dumpling thickness. Then we split it down the middle and got one Chinese entree, General Tsaos, and one Thai entree of Pad Thai. The general was super bland and not very flavorful - the pad Thai was better but still pretty meh. When I was talking to my partner about how we would rate our meal, she was like I don't know a 3? And I that what I started thinking but then I was like, but also we would never choose to order from here again. It's just not worth the $62 we spent. So that's why it's 2/5. Everything was edible and fine, but that's pretty much it. Oh also we used DoorDash and it was lovely and they came pretty quickly.

    New to the neighborhood and tried this place, so glad I did. The egg rolls are light and not laden with oil. Rice is fluffy and fresh. Had the Thai basil with meat. It was well seasoned and spicy. Sushi is made fresh. Staff are friendly and quick. Restaurant wasn't crowded.

    Nihao is consistently solid which is one of the many reasons to come here and get an amazing meal…read more We always get the dry fried red pepper chicken which is AMAZING. It is super spicy, not for the weak. This time we also tried the pan fried shrimp dumplings and the dry fried green beans. Both good and the green beans were especially flavorful. Attentive service, individual dishes come out while it is still hot instead of being held, waiting on the rest of the food. Appreciated that. The restaurant volume is moderate. You can have a conversation but also ear hustle if that's your thing. Super chill vibes every time I'm here.

    I was really looking forward to trying NiHao, but unfortunately our delivery order was…read moredisappointing. The orange beef had a pleasant orange flavor, but it was so strong that it completely overwhelmed the flavor of the beef itself. The chicken with mixed mushrooms had the opposite problem--it was surprisingly bland and lacked seasoning and depth. What was especially frustrating was that the entrées arrived without rice. I have absolutely no issue with rice being sold separately, but the online ordering menu should make that clear. Had we known the entrées did not include rice, we obviously would have ordered it. Instead, we discovered it only after the food arrived, which made an already disappointing meal even more frustrating. Given NiHao's reputation and price point, I expected much better balance of flavor and a more thoughtfully presented delivery menu. Unfortunately, this experience did not live up to those expectations.

    I've become obsessed with Peter Chang takeout ever since I realized they have several gluten free…read moreoptions on the menu. I usually stay away from Chinese food just due to the use of wheat noodles and soy sauce but having a few options that are safe and delicious is what really sets Peter Chang apart from other Chinese restaurants in the area. My favorites from the menu include: Crystal shrimp dumplings - so yummy and perfectly steamed. Comes with a sauce that might be questionable for my more sensitive gluten free foodies so proceed with caution. Absolutely delicious shrimp inside though! Scallion fried rice - comes with generous amount of egg and customized spice level. Goes great with a little extra tamari if you have some at home. Bok choy and mushrooms - omg, I think about this bok choy weekly! It's so perfectly cooked. Crunchy, full of flavor, and goes well with the mushrooms. I like mixing this into the fried rice. Singapore noodles - this was a new item for me but really yummy. Loved the thing rice noodles that had a nice chew to them and didn't fall apart. Seasoning was fresh and not overpowering at all. Comes with thinly sliced chicken and a few shrimp plus some chopped veggies. Add some of your own tamari to it for a little extra flavor! Delivery has always been prompt and dishes packaged well. I've never eaten in, as it's more of a casual takeout spot, but their food really fulfills my Chinese food cravings.

    I ordered UberEats to my hotel. I ordered several things:…read more Chicken with broccoli, Eggplant in spicy garlic sauce, Green beans, White rice, Crystal shrimp dumpling and Hot and sour tofu egg soup. The food overall was delicious. Each of the entrees was flavorful and well prepared. Two things I want to mention: I thought the shrimp dumpling (3 of them) should have been a larger portion for the price and that the soup was a bit salty. Other than that, no complaints. After placing my order online, I called the restaurant to request plates, plastic ware and chop sticks. The friendly person on the phone assured me "no problem," and everything was received as promised. I had ordered a lot more food than I should have, and ended up having some for dinner, lunch the following day and late afternoon snack a day later. The entrees and rice held up well under repeat microwaving. I've been unimpressed by Peter Chang (eating at the testaurant) at another location in the past. I thought it was overpriced for what was typical Chinese food. I will likely try them out again after this experience. The food was much better than I remember it and seemed reasonably priced for the portions.
