We dropped in early on a Sunday to check the place out. We make a point of trying every Burmese restaurant in the MD/VA/PA area, so when this popped up on Google, we had to go. Since it was early, the full menu wasn't available, but we were able to order the Mon Hin Khar (Mohinga (fish soup)) and Gyin Thoke (ginger salad). Portions were generous, broth for the Mohinga tasted clean and traditional, a good amount of fish included. It was on par with the other restaurants we have tried. (Mohinga is one of the traditional dishes of Burma, and as such, people often have their own flavor/variation that they prefer, so we judge it based on what other places in the area might serve). The ginger salad was fresh and delicious. The ingredients were packaged separately in the container. (If you've never had ginger salad before, this might be a bit confusing. Recommend mixing all the ingredients together and letting it sit for a few minutes before eating so the flavors from the oil, ginger, and lime have a chance to meld). All and all, this was a good experience, we met the owner (who is also the chef) and because we had to wait a bit, he gave us some freebies, which he didn't have to do at all (we were fine with the wait). Next time we want to try the other salad and some of the fried rice dishes. Now that we are more familiar with the restaurant and location, we would probably also order ahead online to bypass any waiting. Hope this place will be able to expand in terms of hours and some more traditional Burmese dishes soon.

After seeing Hills to Sea recommended repeatedly in local Facebook groups, we finally decided to…read moregive it a try and now we're wondering why we waited so long. Everything about this place exceeded our expectations. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, clean, and thoughtfully designed. It feels upscale without being stuffy, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting from the moment you walk in. We started with the crab rangoons and then ordered five sushi rolls: the Creamy & Crispy Roll, Crunchy Crab Roll, Black Dragon Roll, Hawaii Roll, and the Volcano Roll with spicy tuna. Every single roll was fantastic. Not "some were better than others" fantastic. Not "we found a favorite and tolerated the rest" fantastic. We genuinely loved every roll that came to the table. The Volcano Roll with spicy tuna was my personal favorite and an easy 10/10, but honestly there wasn't a single thing we ordered that we wouldn't get again. The presentation deserves its own mention. The rolls were beautifully plated, complete with gorgeous edible flowers and thoughtful garnishes that made everything look almost too pretty to eat. Service was excellent. The food came out surprisingly quickly, but not all at once. Instead, the rolls arrived in small groups, which actually made the experience even better because we could enjoy each one before the next arrived. For two people, five specialty rolls and crab rangoons came to about $80, which is completely reasonable and honestly pretty standard for quality sushi. We will absolutely be back, and we've already started recommending Hills to Sea to friends and family. If you're a sushi lover in Lancaster County, put this place on your list immediately.

We tried to go at 9 and 10 on weekends but they were closed. This weekend we got there at 11 on Sunday and they seemed to be just opening. I've been stoked to try this place because I love Burmese food, but it didn't hit for us. Our donuts were soggy. They tasted underdone. The green curry was watery, but spicy. It was a big portion, but almost no chicken. I was most excited for the tea leaf salad, but I think there must have been something that got lost in translation because what we got was most definitely not a tea leaf salad. I was so sad when I opened the take out in the car. It was also slow. We ordered, grocery shopped, and when we came back it still wasn't ready yet.

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.

We both saw the 'Taste of Kalaya' which goes for $85 per person. It comes with a few sharable appetizers, an entree and dessert served family style. Starting off with their Shaw Muang which are flower shaped dumplings with ground chicken, cucumber and a Thai chili, these were phenomenal. Simple, but beautifully presented. The fact these bite-sized dumplings were packed full of flavor and texture were extraordinary. Next were the Gui Chai which are crispy garlic chive rice cakes with a spicy sweet soy sauce. These were also tasty, but I would have preferred a thicker accompanying sauce that coats the rice cake after each dip, rather running right off it. We were also able to choose an extra appetizer, which we opted in for Plah Hoy Namg Rom which are grilled oysters with a chili jam, crispy shallot, lemongrass and herbs. These looked beautiful, but I felt the flavours overpowered the natural taste of the oyster. For mains, we opted in for the Goong Thod Kluae which is their wok-fried river prawn in brown butter w. shrimp paste and seafood nam jim, Gaeng Pae which is a goat and lamb curry with their own spice blend and toasted coconut, and Gai Yaang Naa Por (add-on, extra charge) which is charcoal grilled chicken glazed with coconut cream, turmeric, dark soy and fish sauce. The river prawn was phenomenal. The fact this was the size of a lobster was a huge wow-factor. It's served tableside where the head butter is first removed, then the succulent meat, and finally topped with the head butter. Presentation-wise, not that prettiest thing, but the flavours were incredible. Perhaps as the server is dissecting the river prawn, they could move it onto a clean plate with garnishes to make it look more presentable. Nevertheless, this is one of the best dishes I've had anywhere. The goat and lamb curry was slightly disappointing. We found it to be overly spicy where we couldn't taste the goat and/or lamb in the dish. We're not shy when it comes to spicy food, but this set our mouths ablaze and it was difficult to take 2nd and 3rd bites from this particular dish. For the charcoal grilled chicken was decent. I found parts of the dish to be on the dry side and other parts to be tender and juicy. I didn't necessarily taste the coconut cream or turmeric, but it was a decent dish. For sides, we opted in for the Yum Makhua Yao which is marinated eggplant w. mint, galangal, fried shallots and prik nam pla, and the Moo Tod Nam Pla which is crispy pork belly w. fish sauce. The eggplant was a nice side dish to take a break from the main courses and the crispy pork belly was nice as well. Crispy, not overly fatty or oily, and would have preferred that as a main over the goat and lamb curry. For dessert, we saw a couple of our favourites but with a twist. We opted in for their Durian Sticky Rice (Great spin on a traditional mango sticky rice) and their Thai tea tiramisu (a spin on your traditional tiramisu which comes with coffee-soaked ladyfingers). The durian sticky rice was out of this world. Durian in place of mango was brilliant. Perfectly ripe, soft and was a breathtaking dessert. As for the tiramisu, this was fantastic as well. The Thai tea flavour didn't shine through as much as I would have liked, but overall, excellent. It's worth noting, the service at this restaurant is impeccable. Probably one of the best hospitalities I've received anywhere. The servers reset your table in between courses by wiping it off and everyone was professional, knowledgeable and kind. Overall, I can see why this is listed on the top 50 restaurants in the U.S. coming in at #11 according to 'theworlds50best'. The quality of food, the service, atmosphere is top notch.

The community of shops and restaurants here were fun to explore, but I wouldn't say this restaurant is a place tourists need to visit. They open at 11:00am and when we arrived at ~11:10am, we were the first customers there. The interior is a bit dim but sunlight from their narrow storefront helped illuminate the place. It smelled a bit musky inside too but not intolerable. I ordered the N11 and my friend ordered the N1. We shared an order of chicken satay. The chicken satay was underwhelming especially given how they market it as their top item. The meat was tender but not as tender and juicy as I was hoping. The satay sauce was sweet and peanut forward (not like peanut butter) which was nice but I was hoping for more umami. I ended up enjoying the cucumbers at the bottom of this dish more than the actual meat and sauce. I got N11 because I like eating laksa, but I also found the dish disappointing. It's alright but again not worth the hype it gets from others. It wasn't spicy at all, like maybe 1.5/10. The broth was mostly creamy salty flavor rather than full of spices. I know it doesn't have seafood explicitly in it, but the fish cakes and fish balls would do well with meatier broth. The fish ball and fish cakes weren't bouncy and tasted quite fishy. The tofu pieces weren't fresh but not spoiled to a point I needed to call it out. Maybe the only thing I liked was the texture of the noodles. My friend's N1 tasted more like a soy sauce based sauce. I didn't like that sauce nor the texture of her noodles, so I was glad to stick with mine. She preferred her's more too. She said the more she ate, the milddddd heat in her sauce accumulated and made it too spicy for her to finish the last bite. I didn't taste any heat when I tried a bite, but maybe it was too small. This restaurant also charges a surcharge for credit cards, so we paid by cash.
