    Beef and shrimp yak gaw mein
    Melanie H.

    Best beef and shrimp yak. Mike is a real one. Cash only or cash app. Be aware if you go after the sun goes down.

    Cheesecake egg rolls
    Barry S.

    I heard about this place and they call it Mike's. I was finally able to check them out and I have to say this is the one for some good Chinese food! They open at 6pm. I called ahead and my order was ready when I arrived. I had the shrimp fried rice and cheesecake egg rolls. They only accept cash so have your cash beforehand. I was in and out that's the best way to do it lol

    Pork Penitentiary Yak in my own bowl. Very good!

    Great Yat kaw Mein (Penitentiary Yak) being our regular place was closed we tried this place & was so happy that they had the Black Yak. Rare to find these days. It sure did hit the spot & we will be going back. We ordered Pork Yak & Pork Fried Rice.

    Been eating from Mikes for years. Best Yak for sure. Even the dollar yaks are bomb and cost $2. They only accept cash

    Never go here again! Was served old Avocado in my roll when I asked for a refund was told it was my fault and nothing they could do. Than when I said I would share my experience they offered to redo the order. PASS

    Steak and cheese egg Roll was definitely not good. It lacked a lot of flavor and meat; mostly peppers and onions

    Hands-down, the best Chinese food in Maryland. Not just in Baltimore in the state of Maryland…read more Peter Chang broke the mold with this restaurant. We love the food. We love the service. We love the drinks. We love to creativity. It's also in a row house in Baltimore that gives amazing vibes.

    My boyfriend decided to try out NiHao for date night. It had been recommended to me by friends but…read moreI just never dined until this past date night. There is ample seating whether you want to be at bar, have a larger party or need something more intimate. The staff was very kind. For my entree I ordered the Hot Chili Oil Beef Stew. It was massive. Lol our waiter said that the bowl made it look larger than what it actually was and that it was manageable for one person........ that was like something you could order for the table. Or you can order individual servings of rice and finish it with at least 2 people. The flavor was amazing. The level was spice was perfect, the aromatics were present and fragrant. If you're a fan of spice and savory goodness, I highly recommend. My boyfriend ordered the Wuxi Sweet and Sour chicken. He liked it, I tried it as well. He said he would rate it an 8/10. We both agreed that if the chicken was a lil crispier it would've been even better but flavor of the sauce was nice and the chicken was juicy. His meal was definitely able to be finished by one person. He finished the whole dish while I left with a massive to go container. For drinks we shared a Sake and then I ordered the NiHao Lady, which was very tasty and he ordered a spicy margarita (I think). Either that or a mojito but he enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend and I will be coming back for their dim sum/Chinese tapas.

    So good, we ate here two days in a row! We were in town for…read moremedical appointments and loved our first lunch here so much that we came right back the next day. On day one, we wanted a light lunch to save room for dinner. We ordered the prawn with snow peas and wood ear mushrooms, along with the veggie pan-fried dumplings. Everything was incredibly light, fresh, and delicious! We paired it with the hot ginger honey tea, which was wonderfully flavorful and soothing. The staff was also so kind and accommodated our request for a quiet meal by seating us in a peaceful, closed-off section. On day two, we were craving those exact same flavors, so we re-ordered the prawn dish, the veggie dumplings, and the hot ginger tea--but this time, we added the beef lo mein. It was absolutely amazing! Honestly, it was the best lo mein we have ever had; we've never tasted anything quite like it. The food here is spectacular, and the service is incredibly accommodating that we forgot to take photos. Peter Chang will definitely be our go-to spot whenever we are back in Baltimore!

    This was my second visit to a Peter Chang restaurant, and I didn't even realize there was one…read morewithin walking distance of Johns Hopkins. After several appointments at Johns Hopkins and having a break between them, I decided to stop in for lunch. I really like the setup here. If you're dining in, you place your order at the counter and receive a number to place on your table so the food runner knows where to bring your meal. I also appreciate that guests are responsible for grabbing their own plates, utensils, and water, it keeps things simple and efficient. There is plenty of seating available for those who prefer to dine in. For lunch, I ordered the Egg Scallion Rice, Stir-Fried Prawns with Broccoli, and a Super Tropical Mixed Fruit Tea. Everything was fresh and delicious. The Egg Scallion Rice is a standout and something I'll order every time I visit. I definitely recommend this location, and if I'm in the area around lunchtime again, I'll be back.
