I got the Hawaiian Poke Sushi bowl and the Baked Scallop California roll to share. I'm used to being disappointed by the portions of poke bowls at sit-down restaurants, but this bowl did not disappoint. The bowl had a generous portion of tuna and everything was so fresh. For the scallop roll, there was a large baked scallop on each piece of sushi. I thought having something warm on sushi might be odd, but it was delicious! I'm still thinking about this meal and need to go back soon!

Most of it is fried rolls, which is ok, and the nigiri and sashimi options are limited. To my surprise the sushi burrito is SO good! It has a great ratio of meat to rice (very little, at that) and it's fresh and yummy. I really enjoyed it despite being a sushi snob. The salmon sashimi also is not fishy whatsoever and is buttery and soft. Yum!

Yelp Review 2026 #185:…read more I normally wouldn't trust airport sushi unless I'm in Japan. But I really wanted sushi after eating all sorts of Jamaican food during my vacation. BWI has two Gachi locations: one near B5, and one near A8. This one is near A8. After a terrible experience at another airport restaurant, I decided to grab food from here. At first, I wasn't sure if I went to the sit down restaurant or the grab and go. Both locations have tables and chairs and near other eateries. They both have grab and go food. So, at first, I grabbed two trays of sushi. As I was about to pay, I noticed a menu in front of the cashier so, I had to ask if they had actual fresh made-to-order sushi. And they did and I was told to grab a table and somebody will take my order. I put the sushi trays back. There's only one server and she was hiding behind the sushi counter. She seemed really shy. I waited patiently for her to take my order, give me water, etc. I only had 40 minutes left on my 2-hour layover and I still had to make it to the B gates to board. Sake Oshi Sushi: Pressed sushi with torched salmon, miso sauce, sushi rice, pickled ginger, jalapeno, and tempura crunch. The layer of rice is too thick. I had to eat the fish on top and skip the rice on a few pieces because it was just too much. This was on the sweet side and I'm not a fan of sweet sushi. The jalapeño slices still had seeds. 2.5/5 Salmon Nigiri: The quality of the fish was surprisingly good. The rice was compact and stayed intact. It was time to pay and the server was nowhere to be found and I had to leave. So, I just paid at the counter.

The teriyaki chicken was saucy, tender, and nice and hot (even for being a delivery order). The coconut shrimp blew me out of the water honestly.

If there was a 3.5 star option, I feel like that would be the most accurate representation here. The place itself is located on the wall of the Lotte in Catonsville and it looks like a small family-run establishment. Service was kind, but admittedly a bit of a language barrier which may have affected some of the ordering process. In total, we ordered the tea leaf salad, a curry dish, seafood noodles, and the asian doughnuts. While I was hoping for fresh, vibrant dishes, my expectations fell a bit short where some of the proteins felt a bit tough and other ingredients felt a bit soggy. The flavor profile was good (one of those places where spicy means spicy), but it did lean a bit on the seafoody/fishy side. I still think it warrants checking out because it's not often that there's Burmese cuisine available.

If you haven't tried the steamed Pork dumplings, ya need to. It's not gyoza, it's not a Chinese steam bun, it's a good, hearty, doughy dumpling with a seasoned Pork mixture nestled inside. If you love carbs, you'll love this. I literally get cravings for them. There are 6 to an order and sometimes I eat them for my meal. The chicken and vegetables, moo goo gai pan, miso soup, wonton soup, drunken noodles, lo mein are all standard and good. Definitely get the lunch special - can't beat the price for all that's included! read more

We ordered the shrimp tempura appetizer along with the shrimp hibachi and the steak with shrimp hibachi dinners and fried rice for both. I did not take pictures because I usually forget when I have takeout to grab pictures. But you really weren't missing anything. The fried rice had absolutely no seasoning and barely any fried/scrambled egg as well. There was an option to add extra egg when I looked at the menu online. Not one hint of toasted sesame oil anywhere. I'm not too sure what the flavor was for the vegetables or the shrimp but the shrimp did have a little bit of char to them the vegetables, however did not. I had to add soy sauce and my own toasted sesame oil just so it could taste like something. If I would have known it didn't have any flavor, I would have refried our rice and added egg and other seasonings. I didn't think about this until today when I reheated half of it for dinner and added them on. The shrimps and poor appetizer consisted of two shrimp, one piece of broccoli, one mushroom, and two pieces of sweet potato. They were easy to reheat in the air fryer and get crispy again. We ordered extra yum yum sauce but I only eat yum yum sauce from one restaurant so I didn't even try it. It was very light and color which also didn't have me wanting to try it. With everything else unseasoned and lacking so much flavor, I didn't even open the sauce packet that came with the tempura appetizer. Oh well, we gave them a shot but I don't think that I would eat there again or order food.

There is plenty of parking available in the area outside the store. The ambiance was cool, with folks coming in and out and there is also seating to enjoy your food onsite. If you've been ordering Chinese food as long as I have, you know the best time to purchase is during their "lunchtime" special for a great price on a smaller portion of your favorite item. It's usually accompanied by a basic fried rice, white rice, or noodles. I ordered the shrimp egg foo yung lunch special with fried rice; pork yak; and shrimp egg rolls. I like China Chef because they have an open kitchen just behind the counter and can see them preparing orders. We placed our order with a pleasant lady at the counter, paid in advance, and did some shopping at the local grocery store and came back to pick it up. We came back to pick up our order and it was waiting for us. We opened the bag to check that it was correct, grabbed assorted condiments (soy ,duck, and hot sauce packets) and cutlery and were on our way. The pork yat was good, not overly oily and drenched in soy sauce. There were fried yellow onions and a boiled egg included. The shrimp egg foo yung lunch special consisted of two patties made with egg, shrimp, and onions with fried rice and a small container of gravy. It was just ok, lacking a fair amount of shrimp. The gravy was light-skinned, lol, but ok as well. The egg rolls were a nice, hefty size deep fried and not greasy at all. It was a decent egg roll with shrimp scattered about, but not as good as I wanted it to be. All in all, a nice place to grab some traditional Chinese takeout.
