Some friends and I went to NiHao for their bottomless dim sum brunch. My friends had been once for the brunch this was my first time. And it was incredible!! You're able to order 3 dim sum dishes at a time, which I think is perfect as it allows you to enjoy each bite and then decide on what you want next. My absolute favorites were the cucumber salad, duck spring rolls, hot chili oil pork and shrimp dumplings, and chive shrimp pork dumpling. Everything was amazingly good honestly. It was very busy, instantly so, but not so terribly loud that you couldn't enjoy a conversation with your table. Our servers were very attentive. Orders came out very quickly. I will definitely come back again for the brunch. I also want to go back for dinner to try the Peking duck. read more

Nihao has all you can eat brunch dim sum and tapas Friday-Sunday! At $32pp this experience cannot be beat. We ordered SO MANY dishes. We had our favorites (Scallion Bubble Pancake anyone?) and tried new dishes that we wouldn't normally try on the regular menu. My advice: Go with a group and try something new. Every dish is delicious no matter what you get. This is a great way to try new flavors and learn more about Chinese cuisine without breaking the bank read more

First time. Came here with the family after an event in Baltimore. The wait staff here are either half baked or walk around and engage customers like it's the worst day at work for them. Our waiter had no knowledge of the menu and when asked about their signature baiju the waiter looked at me like I was speaking a different language. The experience alone ruins the meal no matter how wonderful it may have been. We had to wait 15-20 min intervals to get the waiter to take our order let alone check up on us. I even asked the concierge to get our waiter and that took 10 min. Keep in mind this place was only half full. WARNING: dishes don't come with rice. Our waiter didn't bother telling us this. Thanks. I took my family here to celebrate and we left feeling like we were treated like 2nd class citizens. Food. Was decent. That alone is a 3 star but this experience will never have me coming here again. read more

I called ahead to let the restaurant know I was running late for my reservation, though the rest of my group had already arrived. I spoke with Chris, the manager, who reassured me he would take care of everything. I was relieved and appreciated how smoothly he handled it right from the start. We visited Peter Chang's NiHao last Sunday and had an excellent experience full of variety, flavor, and great service. We ordered an array of small plates and tapas, including the fried egg yolk sesame ball, sweet creamy walnut bao, scallion bubble pancake, crystal shrimp dumpling, signature pork soup dumplings, and braised pork bun. The scallion bubble pancake has never been a favorite of mine due to its blandness, but one of my friends had the great idea to use it as a base for other tapas, which worked really well. I didn't try the soup dumplings or pork bun since I don't eat pork, but I was told the dumplings were good and the bun was chewy and not very enjoyable. The crystal shrimp dumpling was fine but didn't leave a lasting impression. Out of everything we ordered, my favorite dishes were the spicy fried Jinghau chicken and the spicy dry fried eggplant which were both full of flavor and cooked to perfection. Some dishes that missed were the salt & pepper shrimp which were mealy in texture. The cucumber salad used spiralized cucumbers and I wasn't a fan of that because it took away from the dish although it was seasoned well. The vegan dzechuan cold noodles tasted like cold lo mein noodles and was an instant turnoff. Of course, I ordered tea and went with the Jasmine and green combination. It was strong, which I appreciated, since all I needed was a little extra hot water to stretch the pot. The fun we had sharing and tasting so many different plates definitely added to the experience, but the food and service stood out on their own. Chris helped us throughout the meal and made sure we had everything we needed. I really appreciated his attention and effort. This spot is definitely worth a visit if you're looking to explore bold flavors with friends and enjoy top notch hospitality. read more

We did the AYCE Dim Sum Brunch Special ($32 each person). Food here was delicious and affordable. Extensive menu, great flavor, and worth the price. The only downside was the service -- took awhile to take our order and our orders to come out. I believe the restaurant was super understaffed during our visit. If you don't mind waiting for your food and being serviced, it's worth it for the food. My favorite food selections were the spicy diced beef and crystal shrimp dumplings (har gaw). Food: 5/5 Service: 1/5 Ambience: 4/5 Price: $$ ($32 per person for AYCE dim sum) read more

The restaurant was little bit over rated. Ordered 5-6 dishes. The fish was good. But some classic dishes such as shredded port with spicy garlic sauce was really a miss, the bamboo was tasted from a can, not very fresh. The serving portion also kind of small. read more

The dim sum brunch was absolutely amazing! We literally tried almost everything and it did not disappoint at all. Some dishes were not my fav but I was eager to try and had some great stand out dishes. The service was fine and they were very busy as well. We were seated upstairs which was good, because we walked off some of the food. I would definitely visit many more times, so many options to try, you just can't get enough. The mimosas were ok but not something I would get again. My favorite dish was the duck spring rolls, limoncello shrimp and cucumber salad were knock outs! Can't wait to go back! read more

We came in for dim sum brunch. It was an excellent value - all you can eat for 32$. My favorites: chili wontons, kung pao shrimp, veggie lo mein, crystal shrimp dumplings, cucumber salad and calamari. Everything else was very good - several different dumplings, limoncello shrimp, pork belly bao, chicken with peppers. Wouldn't order again: duck spring rolls. Service was great! Food came out as it was ready and hot. read more

I have dates nights almost every week and I was looking for a place to enjoy dinner, NiHao came up as a recommendation. I was able to make a same- day reservation on a Monday night. The place is clean with about three levels to the restaurant. Our server, Brandon was very helpful knowledgeable of the menu items. I will definitely come back the fire cracker salmon spring rolls. The sizzling cumin spicy lamb was delicious and I loved the beautiful presentation. I also enjoyed the crystal shrimp dumplings made with clear wheat starch. I highly recommend the sweet sour crispy branzino, covered with sweet sour vinaigrette and finished with scallion red peppers. This dish is a bit spicy but full of flavor. read more

Everything in the menu is incredible. I'm obsessed and it's perfect for families and small groups. You can order like Tapas and share everything. The Szechuan Sweet Chili Chicken stole the show here! The Pan fried pork dumplings were definitely next on the top of my list. The service is top tier but if this place gets busy, give them grace, everything is fresh. I love how you can taste the ingredients and it's not filler! read more

Me and my fiance love this place! I will say that there are hits and misses, so here's a few dishes we love: - cucumber salad - egg drop soup - bamboo fish (love this!!) - limoncello shrimp - egg scallion fried rice - bbq pork bao We've tried other dishes that we weren't really a fan of, and that would be the fried egg plant, salt and pepper shrimp. The items that were just ok were their soup dumplings, beef noodle soup, pork and shrimp wonton, chicken fried rice, calamari, and fried green beans. They currently have an AYCE dim sum & tapas special which allowed us to try more items than we normally order, which I feel is a pretty good deal! All in all, we always know we can count on NiHao to get a good meal in. The staff is friendly and we leave happy. read more

If you expect Chinese American food, like a slightly elevated version of panda express, then you won't be disappointed. It is exactly as mentioned-- everything's a little sweet and a little bit off from traditional Chinese food. I've been here for a la carte and the all you can eat dimsum- both are equally just okay. My favorite dish is the green beans and the bamboo fried fish (although the latter had a nice numbing spice, the batter is too heavy to a small piece of fish). The Taiwanese popcorn chicken is decent as well. read more

Was craving some brunch and decided to come to NiHao with some friends For 32, it's reasonably priced for what you're getting. I didn't expect to be blown away by the food, but that's also the nature of AYCE. There will be some misses and some hits naturally. One note is that they did have some additions to their online menu (ex. Fries rice, noodles, etc.) that was nice Hits: - cucumber salad: this salad was light and refreshing. It went hard on the garlic which I loved - scezhuan popcorn children: This was popcorn chicken downed in some sauce that had a light sweetness to it. - salt and pepper shrimp: This was nicely spiced and loved the onions and peppers with the crunchy shrimp - Walnut cream bun: This was a dessert (not listed online) that came with the AYCE. The bun was soft but the inside was so creamy and had an earthy flavor from the chppped walnuts - Limoncello Shrimp:This was more controversial at our table. This shrimp was in a sweeter lemon sauce but I really liked the added sweetness and crunch to this - salted egg yolk balls: Another dessert, this was light and the egg yolk filling was not overpowering - Cold Scezhuan Noodles: as someone that can't handle spice, I was a little apprehensive but this was well spiced - Bubble Scalllion pancake: very fun presentation as it is all puffed up. Sauce is a nice curry buttery mix that pairs well enough Misses - fried rice with chicken: This dish we barely touched. The rice was unseasoned and overly bland (needed soy sauce or something) - BBQ Pork Buns: I usually love BBQ buns but this one was overly sweet and didn't do it for me - Pork Belly (including pork belly bao): These were also drenched in some sweet sauce that didn't so it for me. The bao ratio was too much - crystal shrimp dumplings: It was very mid, the shrimp filling was meh read more

Go for weekend unlimited dim sum, you will not regret it. So many amazing options to choose from and the staff is so friendly and can definitely guide you towards a better option for you. Favorites were the noodles and shrimp. Make a reservation, they're usually pretty booked and only have a table or two right when they open. read more

Old review; Soft opening for the relaunch tonight!!! New menu... dim sum and a variety of more traditional dishes. Seems like some popular items from other Chang locations like soup dumplings and chongqing red pepper chicken (I think both of those are at Chang's Bethesda location). Limited drink menu currently but full food is available. Since the soft opening, we have eaten in several times and do take away on a regular basis. This place is awesome! read more

Everything was Great (service)!!! I ordered the sweet & sour shrimp w/ the fried dry green beans. The menu didn't indicate that the green beans were spicy, hence the 4, but it was still soooo good. My friend has the bbq bao buns and orange beef (yummy)!! The cocktail was nice and strong as well! I definitely will be returning. read more

NiHao never disappoints! I love their AYCE brunch. Their scallion bubble pancake, spicy bamboo fish, Szechuan popcorn chicken, green beans, wontons and dumplings, and limoncello shrimp are why I keep going back. Definitely worth a try! Seating may be tight depending on where you're located, but the food is delicious and staff are always friendly! read more

Walked in on a Saturday night and was quickly seated for table of 2. We were there for dim sum so we tried a lot of small plates which were great. The signature soup dumplings weren't the best but everything else was very hot and tasty. Would return again to try a few of their dinner entree dishes which smelled and looked amazing read more

Came here for lunch on a Friday and was seated and served very quickly. We ordered a variety of dishes (see images and captions) and really enjoyed all of them. The food is close but not fully authentic, and delicious nonetheless. Especially liked the dry fried green beans, which had a pickled garlicky garnish. Generous portion sizes. Side street parking, some free and some paid, nearby. Clean interiors with plenty of seating. read more

The food wasn't as good as I was expecting. Everything could've used a bit more flavor in my opinion. The service was okay, different treatment by table for sure by the waiters...which is weird. and the ambience was actually terrible. It looked really nice online so we went as a date night...however it was not a nice restaurant AT ALL!! read more

I recently returned to NiHao for a yummy dinner feast. It was my first time dining here since the ownership change and the menu revamp. I was happy to see gluten free options clearly marked which made making decisions very easy. I ordered the rice shrimp dumplings, the sichuan cold noodles, the calamari, the tofu skin and cabbage, and the sweet and sour fried fish. My ultimate favorites were the cold noodles, the calamari, and the tofu. I'm honestly still thinking about the tofu now weeks later. The sauce was flavorful but not overpowering and the texture of the tofu was just perfect. The cabbage was nice and crunchy as well. You know it was good because it was the only thing I didn't get a picture of! The calamari was incredibly impressive, especially for being gluten free. And the cold noodles really satisfied my hankering for lo mein. I probably wouldn't get the fish again although it was a beautiful presentation and still very yummy. I think the sweet and sour sauce just wasn't my favorite and there sure was a ton of it. Although the cocktail menu seems to be pretty undeveloped at this point, I'll definitely be back for more of that tofu. read more

I love NiHao!The food is always fresh, hot, and super delicious. The portions are generous and the staff is very friendly.Definitely my go-to place for Chinese food. Highly recommend! read more

The first time I had NiHao, I had the chive dumplings and the numbing green peppercorn flounder. That dish was so good that I craved it. Last night, I dined in and had the duck spring rolls, scallion bubble pancake, and triple mushroom tofu. The bubble pancake was good, the sauce that came with it was excellent. The duck spring rolls were good but a little bland. They didn't have much duck in them and the sauce was good, but they only put a little drizzle on top. My main course was too salty and too saucy. The texture of the tofu was chewy and dry. It was missing the umami flavor I expect in Asian food. I was expecting a comforting dish and this was not it. My date had the shredded pork and it was too sweet for my pallet. It felt like they were trying to cater to American tastes more than I'd like. Not as authentic as I was expecting. The ambience was okay. They squeeze the tables in pretty close to each other. The decor is a little slapped together. Paper napkins and laminated, poorly designed menus are not what I expect at that price point. Not sure what they're going for but it's certainly not fine dining. Service was okay. They seemed to be juggling a lot of tables so I really think he was doing the best he could. They didn't clear our entree plates before dropping the check, or at all in fact. It was kinda gross staring at those dirty plates up until we left. There were bussers and food runners, but everyone seemed overwhelmed. If I were to get NiHao again, I'd just do takeout and stick with the flounder. Their green beans are also excellent. read more

NiHao - Beautiful presentation for the Jasmine Tea Lager - Chinese Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I really enjoyedthis spot! I first heard about this place on TikTok when I was looking for a really good place to get dumplings and I was so excited to find out about this place because it's not too far from our neighborhood so we were able to walk over. We came without a reservation and they were still able to see us immediately . Our server was very courteous and gave us good recommendations for what to try since it was our first time. I wanted to try the jumbo shrimp, but unfortunately it was out, but I was able to try the pineapple, sweet and sour shrimp and that was definitely one of my favorite parts of the entire meal! The cucumber salad was so refreshing, although it was a little bit hard to eat because pieces were kind of long . The sauce on the pork ribs was so so good.! The dumplings were really good and definitely satisfied my craving. The only thing I would've changed about our experience would be trying to sit at a larger table because we ordered quite a bit of food and we had a hard time putting all of the platters on our table. The restaurant is really cute and it is fairly small with a bar on the front side and then seating on the backside, but it looks like there was also an upstairs portion that I didn't see ,so I think there is a good amount of extra seating in the upper level. I can't wait to come back here again! read more

OVERHYPED!!!!!! If I could give it a zero rating, I would. My family and I went on Sat for Mother's Day, and the service was terrible. We had to ask 3 times for our Coke to be brought to our table and for another serving of water. The service was totally disorganized and to add insult to injury, before we could get out of the restaurant, everyone in my party was sick to their stomachs. We had a 30 min drive back home and we each had the tihs's (reversed) all evening. It was almost comical but we were afraid to laugh at the situation, given the drive. I don't know what was in that food but I would never return nor would I recommend. Again, terrible service and the food was disguisting!!!!!!!! read more

Great vibe in the restaurant, I'm a big fan of the decor. The food arrived quickly and our server was pretty helpful. The food was 10/10, definitely want to go back and try more dishes. I love the spice! read more

NiHao - Szechuan Popcorn Chicken and spicy Chongqing Dry Fried Red Pepper Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I'm wondering if they are under new management. I are here a couple of years ago, and the food was excellent, and there was a great vibe to the place. This time it seemed a bit off. We went on a Sunday in the summer. Maybe it was just an off night. They were playing really bad radio music, which was kind of jarring. And they took our order and delivered the food SO quickly that it seemed like they were eager to get us out of there. The puffy scallion pancake was delicious, and it came with a good dunking sauce. The limoncello chicken dish was a miss. The pork buns were a bit dry, but the filling was good. read more

My only embarrassment in writing this review is that I waited so long to check this spot out! NiHao has been on my to try list for some time, and while I imagine the experience of dining in person is even better, I decided to give it a try with a carry out order first. Thank you Grubhub! I ordered the Szechuan Cold Noodles and Triple Mushroom Tofu Pot. This was more than enough food for one person! The tofu pot comes with a side of rice. Let's talk noodles first. Sauce perfection! That iconic simmering, lingering acidity, peppery heat from the peppercorns is delicately present, adding depth to the sauce without being overpowering. The noodles are the right texture to envelope the contents of the dish without being too soft. The fresh julienned vegetables add a crunch to the bite to round out its textural diversity. A 5/5 dish for sure! The Triple Mushroom Tofu Pot was an excellent complement. Similarly, the sauce was the standout. It's hard to articulate its exceptional complexity. Rich, evolving and yet not so dominant as to mask the flavor of the mushrooms and tofu themselves. The variety of mushrooms gives the dish character, while the tofu adds something more substantial to the bite, and is well-cooked with a crispier exterior meets soft center. Look forward to making my way through more of the menu, NiHao! read more

This restaurant is great. I have been there two times, both times food was excellent, service is attentive and it's an inviting space. I ordered their whole fish cooked in spicy garlic sauce and fried chicken with peppers. Both excellent. I also visited their location in DC and menu is much bigger and more tasty dishes, I wish they could add here in Baltimore too, as it is bit limited. read more

Food was amazing. Service was very slow, but food made up for it.

Was visiting my daughter and wanted to try this place which she always raved about. I am very picky about my Chinese food. My father was an excellent cook and a best friend was a third generation Chinese chef with his own restaurant. I have to say that this was the best Chinese food I have had in a very long time. The roast duck was excellent, the dim sum crab & pork soup dumpling was excellent. The Hot & sour soup was perfect and stone pot pork rib soup was to die for. (See pics for full meal) The entire meal was excellant, I wish we had this restaurant closer to home. An 8 hour drive from Myrtle Beach is tough but this place is worth it! More visits to my daughter's house! If you are in the area, this place is a must try. read more

Ordered the new bottomless dim sum, food was decent, good tapas: like braised pork and taiwanese popcorn chicken as well as soup dumplings, ha gao etc. Ended up eating $32 worth of food. However, big however, the management was not great. One server managed a large section taking orders, so it's recommended to order 6-8 at a time including tapas (dishes) because they come out faster than dim sum. This made the system very slow and we had to wait very long times to order more food for four. Additionally certain tapas portion sizes were very small like one serving of taiwanese popcorn chicken was 4 pieces! For four people. Several items also came as servings of 1/2 which we didn't know like the hagao shrimp dimsum. Dim-sum/steamed items took extremely long to come, so wasn't very streamlined resulting in eating more tapas than dimsum . Overall was interesting, but Nihao should stick to its typical style. read more

Haven't ever eaten in the actual restaurant at Nihao before and this is the first time we've had it's since Peter Chang took over. Wow! We ordered way too much food including most of the dim sum dumplings plus Peking duck and a lot of vegan dishes. The only dishes that weren't almost completely consumed were the mapo tofu (too much Sichuan peppercorn flavor) and the Chili fish that I loved but was so spicy and soupy I'm going to add more veggies and fish to the soup for another dinner! Peking duck had the thin homemade Bao bing pancakes which I like a lot more than the buns they used to have. Just not that much duck for a whole duck. Everything else was super delicious with the surprising hits of the mushroom tofu dish and the chicken lettuce wraps. All the dimsum was very good-xiao long bao, chive shrimp dumplings, spicy wontons. So great to finally have delicious authentic Chinese food in baltimore! read more
