    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
    Sharon L.

    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
    Kelly M.

    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.

    I'm usually not someone to like Thai but I really enjoyed this restaurant!…read more The fresh spring rolls were indeed very fresh and yummy! I liked the sauce- it was interesting. The fried spring rolls were super! And good the sauce was too. The Thai and lychee and Thai tea are spectacular. The best Thai tea I've had perhaps. Veggie dumplings are also SPECTACULAR!!! Red curry panang was Super good and coconut flavored . It was a bit too strong and rich for me but definitely good. Shrimp black pepper was good! Pad Thai with tofu so good!!! The peanut hint was delicious and the noodles had a perfect texture Pad kaprow was pretty good and a little spicy. The drunk noodle was ok. Not crazy about the noodle texture but the chicken on its own is ok. The combo of the noodle chicken and veggie isn't bad but I'm not crazy about it because of the noodles. The beef is a bit too chewy and I'm not crazy about the taste (bland). All in all the main dishes were very good and so were the apps!

The restaurant had a nice selection of Thai cuisine. We ordered the wonton soup and the dumplings, pork and chicken, both were flavorful and fresh. I ordered the pad kapow with fried tofu and chicken medium spice. Everything was cooked perfectly and very nice flavors. My fiancé got the chicken with mushrooms and ginger. I think the ginger for him was a little too strong. We'll have to find him something next time the staff was very friendly. They've been open about a year and a half. We definitely will return

However, looks can be deceiving. We were seated in a small but clean dining area just beyond the bar. Surprisingly, the four of us had the entire restaurant to ourselves, which made for a relaxed and comfortable dining experience. The wait staff was friendly, attentive, and very helpful in answering our questions about the menu. We started with two appetizers--the fried tofu and vegetable rolls--which arrived quickly and were absolutely delicious. As someone who loves spicy food, I can confidently say this Thai restaurant did not disappoint. For our entrées, I ordered the Pad Kaprow with chicken, my daughter chose the Khao Soi, my son had the Pad Thai with shrimp, and my husband enjoyed the Massaman Beef Curry. Every dish was flavorful, beautifully prepared, and packed with authentic taste. We were genuinely blown away by both the quality of the cuisine and the exceptional service. To complement my meal, I ordered the Soulless Mule, which perfectly enhanced the bold, spicy flavors of my dish. This restaurant exceeded our expectations in every way. We will definitely be returning soon.

    Not usually into Thai food. My girl made me go cause she likes Thai food. Service was fantastic,…read morereally nice and informative staff. The actually restaurant area of the eatery is very cozy and almost luxurious. Best Thai food I have personally ever had, and that's something for me because usually I avoid Thai food whenever I can.

    Thai Meric is fast becoming one of our go-to choices for dining out in Frederick…read more We've now visited about 3-4 times, and the consistency of our experience here is impressive. On our last visit, a few Sunday nights ago, we popped in at dinner time on impulse and were seated immediately, though it's not a big space and it gets a lot of traffic. We walked through the little bar to the interesting and well-appointed dining room. I ordered a Singha beer and my wife got her standard Thai iced tea, very well made here. We split an appetizer of delicious crispy firecracker shrimp. She got her favorite, Pad Thai with shrimp, and I got mine, creamy green curry with chicken (I chose a 3 out of 4 on spiciness, which was close to my limit!). Both were terrific, As always, the service was efficient and polite. We haven't tried this place for carryout yet, because I think we just like sitting there so much. If you like the unique flavors of Thai food served cheerfully in a pleasant atmosphere, I think you'll like Thai Meric.

    Had a very tasty experience at Bodhi!…read more The space is quite small! There's a small waiting area at the bottom of a set of stairs and then a small dining area. There was one server working the entire restaurant (including the take out orders), so service was a little slow. The server was really doing his best, but it was a packed restaurant. Despite this, the food came out relatively quickly! The portion sizes were generous. The Bodhi Curry with salmon was fantastic! It comes with a side of rice to eat with the curry. The fried eggplant and chive dumpling appetizers were also crowd pleasers! Everyone loved their meals. There is plenty of street parking within walking distance!

    The food here is good but the service left... something to be desired…read more It's a small space, and they were quite busy when I walked in with a small group. We waited to be seated for only 15 minutes. Our waiter took our food and drink order promptly, and we let them know we were waiting on two more but they had us order since we were ready. We let them know we wanted to split the check before we ordered. Our friends arrived shortly after, but were waiting for 20 minutes before they decided to go up to the counter to place their own order as no server was coming to our table. Our waters had been empty for just as long. All of the food ordered at once came out at different times, and as a group we waited ~45 min for all of the food to come out. Our waters were still not refilled. I ordered the summer rolls with tofu, which were really refreshing and tasty with the peanut sauce. They were quite big too. Everyone had finished and we were sitting for another half hour before my friend went to the register to order dessert. Finally, when we were ready to pay our check, we waited another 30 min before we went to the register to pay as our server was not checking on us. We did see her around and she checked on other tables, but not us. They then refused to split the check, even though we had asked them to before we ate and they had confirmed that they could. Luckily Venmo makes things easy these days. On a separate occasion I ordered delivery from them, and the pad see ew with fried tofu was tasty and generous with the tofu. I think the food here is really good, but I don't think I would dine in again purely due to the service issues I experienced.
