New favorite authentic Korean restaurant! How did I not know this was here?? Apparently I've been…read moremissing out for years. Small space, great eats. We had a bit of everything: naengmyeon, beef and seafood soondubu, mandu, sweet & sour chicken, and jjampong. Jjampong lacked some seasoning (would not recommend) and they don't do very spicy for any for the dishes but overall well balance for Chino-Korean cuisine.

I've tried it at a couple other places in the area and been underwhelmed, the one here is quite good, second only to my holy grail version which is sadly in a state I don't plan to revisit. We also had a seafood panjeon and it was excellent - tons of seafood and vegetables, a crisp breading that didn't feel doughy at all. The food was served with a couple banchan (radish, cabbage kimchi and the pickled radish + raw onion that is usually served with jjajangmyeon). The prices are great for Korean food; the jjajangmyeon was 10.99, pancake 19.99 and hubs and I brought about half of each home. We probably could have gotten away with just ordering one or the other but having leftovers is golden. We'll be back to try some other items on the menu!

The server was more concerned about watching the soccer game on TV than serving our table. The lemon chicken tasted like it had glaze for Krispy Kreme donuts drizzled on top of otherwise very delicious crispy cutlet. I liked the orange beef dish but didn't care for the celeries or the very dry rice. Unless I'm in the area and it's convenient to visit, I wouldn't go out of my way to dine here.

They have all of the classics like egg tarts, fried breadsticks, shrimp cheung fun, shu mai, har gow, and sesame balls.

The service here can be a hit or miss, you basically stand in a line (on the weekends it's hard to figure out where people are waiting) and they'll help you out.

If not in the mood for it there is a hot pot menu (with table side burners for individual pots with broth that one cooks protein and veggies in). They also have a classic Chinese food menu one orders à la carte, where the dishes are made to order in the staff kitchen. One of the signature dishes is their Peking Duck. We didn't get the Duck, hotpot or bbq this time. Got 3 different entrees: jumbo salt shrimp, fried bean curd with vegetables and spicy chili fish filet. The fish had plenty of chili oil, dried chili, Napa cabbage, wood ear mushrooms, bean thread noodles and scallions accompanying. Was flavorful and numbing. The tofu dish was a solid vegetarian source, with fried soy braised tofu triangles, broccoli, mushrooms s, cabbage and carrots. The best dish is their shrimp. Large prawns with the shells on were fried in salt, pepper and chili powder. The shells were crispy and edible and absorbed the flavoring well. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and succulent. Great place, will need to try other dishes.

We wanted to try someplace new and being good Yelpers we looked at reviews and decided to give China Bistro a try. Our favorites were the soups...I loved my egg drop soup and my daughter in law loved her hot and sour soup. The broths were rich and comforting. The kids really liked the combination fried rice. It had lots of chicken, beef, and shrimp. The combination low mein was lacking in a lot of the proteins we ordered. So, it was not a dish we would reorder. The Mongolian beef was very good. The sauce was excellent, but the meat could have been more tender. The service was great. I ordered on the phone and it was ready when I got there. The restaurant itself was clean and well organized. I would definitely go back and try some new dishes.

I've been coming to China Bistro for more than 10 years. Back in the day, when there were not so…read moremany Asian food options in Baltimore, I used to drive a long way for a homemade meal of dumplings. Indeed, recently, when I came by the store, I actually ran into one of my friends from my Baltimore days. I guess we all still come here. In the years that have passed, the restaurant has gone through significant interior upgrades and the food remains of good quality, with a reasonable prices, inflation and all. The dumplings (including the wrapper) are clearly handmade, but flavor profile wise, I do find tends to be overpowered by vinegar. If we are strict critiques of dumplings, the dumpling wrappers also lack the typical bounce that good dumplings should have. These were all factors I typically overlook, because of course, we live in America, and expecting high-quality Chinese food is not always possible. This is all good, however, the reason for my one star is from a recent experience I had, where I brought some guests from out of town and asked our server for some recommendations. She very brashly brush me off, saying the menu is large, and she cannot give recommendations in general. Incredibly rudely. At the end, I ended up tipping 15% for a lunch meal, and she very angrily came back and told me people tip 20% always. I told her 15% is customary for lunch, her service was not particularly good, not to mention tipping is voluntary. She proceeded to push me on 20%, glaring at me angrily, which made me very uncomfortable, although I held my ground and left. In sum, this was just a horrible experience, and I don't think I will be returning. I am appreciative of places that keep reasonable prices, and I understand inflation and economics have created significant stress on restaurants. In my opinion, it would be reasonable to raise prices, or even add a very clearly marked 20% service charge to the prices as a default. However, providing poor service and then guilting customers into a " mandatory" 20% tip is wrong. My guests were also aghast at this. In the end, it was only a few dollars, but it is a matter of principle and how customers are treated. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this establishment for this reason.

Dishes included: - Sichuan spicy beef and tripe - Minced tofu w shrimp and crab - Chicken with yellow chives - Pig intestine with pork blood - this was the dish they substituted tofu for the pork blood without asking or a heads up. Still tasty, but takes away from one of the major components of the dish. - Chili pepper beef (spicy) All of the dishes were packed with flavor and had a good ratio of protein to veggies. The spice was at a great level for me (someone who likes spice) and still enjoyable for my family members that have a more mild palette. We were just reaching for the water all night to offset the sodium.

Food: -I like that they still have all the ingredients separate from the broth when it arrives, allowing you flexibility and customization -not exactly 10 secs and the name says but food came out sufficiently fast -water is tap and you and can definitely taste the impurities Service: -as with most authentic Chinese restaurants, the servers don't really check on you after they deliver the food -but I appreciate that they leave us alone to chat, I was there with someone for over an hour and they didn't nudge us to leave Location -parking is a bit limited and so is the inside of the restaurant so not good for groups larger than 6

The predominant flavor of the kimchi jjigage was gochugaru. The haemul pajeon didn't have much seafood and came with several burnt spots. The japchae was extremely oily and included very few vegetables. I make better Korean food at home just by watching Maangchi videos. Speaking of videos, the only reason I found this place was through a TikTok, which offered a rave review and showed a packed restaurant. I guess this is how I know FoodTok has officially reached the mainstream, because I'm seeing more and more staged scenarios and dubious opinions. The only thing anybody had anything positive to say about was the rice, which was technically perfect. There is an old adage that goes, "you can judge a restaurant based on how well they cook their rice." But if you have a table full of food and the only thing people want to finish is the rice, then you've got a whole other problem.
