Mango boom and strawberry Sandi
Rachel C.

The mango boom was tasty, but I wish they had more drink options. They also have set toppings. I wanted to change sago to boba, but then it would cost extra (forces you to pay for the sago). The strawberry Sando tasted decent, but it was smaller than I had thought. Right when I walked in, I noticed a stinky smell coming from the cafe. While my sister was ordering for me, I went to the bathroom, and the floor was so dirty. It made my shoes sticky..

This place feels like a mini lunch mecca. You can either order online for carryout or place your order at a kiosk if you're dining in. Seating is limited with small tables, but they manage to pack a lot of people into the space. If it's busy, it's best to grab a table first before ordering since seating fills up quickly. Once you order, just wait for them to call out your number for pickup. It seemed like they might still be working through the rhythm of a new opening (or just dealing with a big crowd), because the food took a while to come out. We waited about 45 minutes, and the woman working the counter looked understandably overwhelmed trying to keep everything moving. That said, once the food finally arrived, it was absolutely worth the wait. Fresh, flavorful, and satisfying--definitely the kind of place that makes you want to come back, just maybe with a little extra time to spare.

I'm glad that this cafe opened up in this area and I can definitely see myself going back. It opened recently so it was really busy when we went. The drinks came out relatively quickly but the pancake and toast we ordered took around an hour. They were so busy they had to stop taking orders for a little bit too. The inside of the store is really cute and there was a good amount of seating. The cafe is narrow but the seats go all the way back so there's actually quite a bit. There are lots of tables for 2 but you might have a harder time if you go with a bigger group than that. I think that because they are so busy right now, the service is not the best, but I'm excited to go back in the future. Their matcha latte is good and I really enjoyed their strawberry toast too! If you are planning to check it out maybe try going during the off hours or on a weekday!

This is place is a really nice addition to the shopping center. Picking up a snack after shopping will be fun. It has a lot of seating but people were being greedy and staying there pretty long after they ate, so getting a seat might be hard. I went for the grand opening and it was PACKED. I would not go on a weekend or during lunch until things calm down it took ONE HOUR to get 3 items. I think they did a good job considering how packed it was. I don't think anything they have was really special for me to travel out of my way to come back though. Berry drink with the cheese foam. The cheese is sweet and the drink was good. Another poster said there was plastic in it, but that's actually dried fruit from the drink that's really hard. I had the orange iced tea and it does have an aftertaste of orange which I liked. I had the fried corn croquet and takoyaki. They were both good, but nothing special. My husband had the strawberry sando, which would be hard to mess up honestly and he really enjoyed it. I think I like the drinks over the food overall. I would go back if I was in the area, but I rarely go to that city.

Egg sando

Had a nice lunch here today- I was surprised at the space inside - plenty of tables (we were pretty early) - the ambiance is pretty and relaxing - got the pork sando and the egg sando- proportions are good although prices are still pretty steep - we also got the corn croquette which I thought was delicious- fried to perfection ! Also got the shrimp senbei which was a gigantic flattened rice cracker- I thought was pretty good but could be acquired taste for some - service was pretty quick and friendly enough

It's a cute cafe but I think it could really improve on some things. I got the mango boom which was ok but I didn't realize it had milk on it since it didn't list it on the menu and there wasn't an option to customize. Haven't tried the other things yet but wish they had more drinks to pair w the food since it seems like it's mostly food atm. I'll come again to try the food one day but for what I had it was ok

Grape drink
Khiem H.

The foods here was good but not amazing. The drinks was also good but quite pricey $9 for a grape drink is kind of steep. The staff were nice. The place is also pretty chill. I'd comeback again for the pancake but I'm not sure about $9 drink.

Was so excited to try this place out for lunch. Came on Monday around noon, first thing we noticed on the kiosk was they were out of the Pork Sando. -_- was a little disappointed but ok. We then ordered the chicken sando, egg sando, mentaiko baguette and the caramel pudding. For drinks we ordered the mango boom and sweet orange tea. Chicken sando was good but needs more sauce and coleslaw. Egg sando was bland (besides the seasonings ontop) the flan/caramel pudding was also bland. Mango boom only had a hint of flavor. The best thing was the mentaiko baguette. What deducted the stars to be very low is.... not 1 not 2 or 3 of the spoons were DIRTY like still had food stuck to them. Also midway eating we overheard them telling the others that they ran out of chicken sando. Since it's their soft opening, hopefully things get fixed and it gets better

Pork and egg sandos
John A.

4.5/5! PRE-EDIT at bottom Shrimp senbei (cracker) was really good, well exceeded expectation Pork Sando also great, very meat forward, simple, loved the breading Drinks were very good, berry and mango boom, better than average for the area Egg sandwich was the only very average thing we tried, not special at all especially compared to how good everything else was The chocolate cashews I thought were pretty average as well but my wife really enjoyed them! Overall definitely worth your try and stop by EDIT: so kind of crazy but as I was finishing my berry boom at home later there were bits and pieces of hard red plastic that kept showing up in my drink. I understand it was the new opening, but plastic in drinks hard enough to cause tooth damage seemed like something I should put on here. Can't imagine how much plastic I drank into my body already

I was really excited to try this new Cafe in Catonsville. I've read about how busy it is so I probably placed an order at 11:30 when they opened and went to pick it up around 11:50. I ordered the pork and egg sandos and a drink with strawberry and pancotta. Upon arrival there was a lying out the door for seating. I could see our food sitting at the counter so grabbed it and left. I would love to eat in sometime, especially to try the pancakes but they are just way too swamped. I was thoroughly impressed with the sandwiches and the drink. The pork was crunchy and flavorful. I really like the cabbage although my husband did not and would have preferred it not be a sandwich. The egg was scrumptious. I normally don't like other people's egg salad but this was on another level. The bread on both was fresh and super tasty. The drink with the pancotta was really interesting and I love the crunchy ice aspect and all of the pieces of strawberry I was getting. I will definitely be back to try other items and hopefully get this four stars up to a five once I dine in!

Came here to celebrate hubby's birthday. The restaurant is beautifully decorated inside and the…read moreservice is really top notch. It was our first time there. We picked the middle tier option. We thought it was a little pricey but the quality of meats was very good. And the amount of food you get was really a lot and this is coming from a heavy hitter at AYCE restaurants. They also included dessert. I only wish they allowed for AYCE options AND à la carte options, like Gyuzo Japanese BBQ in Rockville. It turns out they're owned by the same company. You must come very hungry to get your money's worth.

I came for a Saturday night date. It was a great place. Came on a afternoon. I saw that you may…read moreneed a reservation but they will accept walk-ins. When I looked online, there was no availabilities so decided to chance it and come anyway. I am so glad that I did. Inside looks amazing. Really sets the mood for an enjoyable night. If you like Japanese barbecue, you will love it. They have many different tears that you can purchase. Starting at 68 and going away up to over 100. You can also choose to add unlimited sushi for an additional five dollars. That was definitely worth the add on. They give you full sushi rolls and not just a couple of pieces. They will limit you to a maximum of 15 items you can order and one time. It seems like a lot, but that also includes your appetizers and sizes. There is also a 10 minute cooldown between orders. Overall, the experience is excellent. Not a place you would come frequently but for an occasional night out, it is great. I am interested in coming in one day just to check out the bar scene. As we were leaving, it looked pretty lively over there.

Out of impulse, decided to try out one of their omakase offerings…read more I really appreciate that they offer more "affordable" options compared to other omakase places. They had a number of options to pick from around the mid 50s price range. It took about 15-20 minutes to put together and everything was beautifully presented and tasty. I can't speak on how it compares to other omakase experiences because this was my first time trying, but the price point for me was the biggest draw in trying it out and was very content.

Visited Umi Sushi on a Saturday night around 8:00 PM -- full house and no reservation, but…read morethankfully we only had about a 10-minute wait. The back patio is definitely where you want to be on a warm evening. The overhead string lights created a great atmosphere, and the staff were both pleasant and efficient throughout the night. We had an unexpected guest join us mid-meal, and our waitress immediately accommodated us with a table change without missing a beat. It's impressive how quickly they're able to turn tables while still keeping service smooth. The sushi presentation was very nice, and they offer a great selection of rolls. While everything we ordered was good, several of the rolls ended up tasting fairly similar - all specials I believe. If possible, request seating toward the very back of the patio -- it's closest to the Patapsco River and makes for a really relaxing setting.
