Beef with Broccoli
Sharonda M.

as a DC native I was absolutely shocked to find a carryout outside my hometown that has the same quality of Chinese food. Hunan Joy did not disappoint. Ordered my normal thing praying it would taste the same as other places and it impressed me more than expected

About 1/3 of small shrimp fried rice and egg roll
Melody M.

This spot has become my fave for Chinese food. I travel across town to eat here. Th woman at the counter is alwaysssss nice and pleasant. I even see him taking food out to cars sometimes. The food is really tasty. Eggs rolls too. I don't veer too far from shrimp fried rice and shrimp egg rolls . Just the right tinch of grease ...

This is the first Chinese spot I've found in Baltimore county that makes the egg foo young like they do in the city. The Yat Gaw Mein isn't that Baltimore dirty Yat! but it's serviceable. My wife and I ordered from here twice in one week and we were not disappointed. This will be our go to for Chinese food in the county. The egg foo young gravy is really so fire. And they give you 3 egg pancakes so you will definitely be full afterward. I just wish the Yat Gaw Mein had a thicker sauce and the flavor profile comes up more. It's not nasty just not dirty Yat. The service is great, the young man I've encountered each time behind the counter is calm and friendly, he even brought my food out to my car as I waited. Give them a try if you're in Catonsville.

Lo mein chicken
Quin B.

Really good Chinese food! Take out only. Reasonable prices and fast. Two sizes large and small. I ordered large for everything. There is a small parking lot out in the front so you can park and pick up your food. They have all the traditional food. I liked the moo shoo vegetable, kung pao chicken, lo mein noodle with chicken (has bean sprout and celery), and the hot and sour soup I did not like general Tso tofu. I imagine it would be the same orange glaze for general tso's chicken. This is a personal preference as I don't like anything sweet. The glaze reminds me of the common Americanized orange chicken dish. So if that's what you're looking for the general tso's sauce is for you. I liked 4 out the 5 dishes that I ordered. I'm so glad I found this place. It's exactly what I'm looking for from a Chinese restaurant. I docked a star bc they didn't have common dishes like eggplant dish or bok choy/ong choy in garlic sauce and thick flat rice noodle stir fry. That being said what they had was pretty delicious. I'm definitely going to be a regular.

They seem really optimistic about how much we're willing to spend so we don't have to drive there.

Website says they do delivery, but clearly that's just so they can get your hopes up! Either this is a very amusing error, or it's scummy marketing. I'm leaning towards amusing error, somebody probably forgot to fill in a box somewhere. Edit: Turns out it was just an error after all! Just put in a delivery and looking forward to the results, thank you for the response!

Triple Delight
Ryen E.

Got carry out here for lunch. Just wanted to try a new place. Was pleased with the product and flavors. Very nice local place. Friendly and easy pickup. The triple delight with fried rice and egg rolls. Each hot and fresh. Totally enjoy a few more dishes from here.

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.

My second time here…read more I do really like this area of Columbia and realize that I want to hang out here more often. When you arrive at the restaurant, the hostess greets you and ask if you have a reservation. Both times I've been here, it wasn't too busy but it was during the week. Service is really good. They're always very helpful in explaining the menu. We went with the AYCE Master option. The Legend option with the Wagyu looks appealing but I can't justify spending $88 a person. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem spending the money, since most of it goes to alcohol when we're having dinner anyways, but it was a really nice experience. This would be a place I would bring friends from out of town who want to have an experience similar what you would find NYC or Vegas. We had a really good time, especially on $10 margaritas and all you can eat meat. The presentation is really wonderful and I love the thought behind the presentation when it comes out. The Wagyu Fried Rice and Curry is one of the bests I've ever had. And the scallops with butter on the grill were awesome. Definitely a favorite. I will add the the iPad that you order with will start a timer for 90 minutes, and you can only put in an order every ten minutes which was annoying, so I did feel a bit of pressure with ordering. The time limit is to control time spent which makes sense if it was busy. I would have given 5 stars if it weren't for the wet mop smell we had during dinner, but don't know if it is because it was hot out and the AC was not blasting high enough with all the grills going off, so it was kind of hot and sticky during dinner. I may come back next time to check out Happy Hour next time! Vibes are actually pretty cool. Service is great.
