    a view of the kitchen
    Dee M.

    Beautifully decorated and warm with tones and stone, pretty concrete, you can hear the kitchen from your table. There is outdoor seating for warm weather inside seating is very comfortable. You are best Brith.

    3. Thai Basil Shrimp Fried Rice
    Jessica S.

    Came here after a windy day at the beach and the hot soup really hit the spot! Pleasant service and open kitchen were nice. The fried dishes came out asap (freshly stir fried), the pho came out later but it was very hot and worth the wait. Overall a good soup base for the beef brisket and shrimp pho. A lot of shrimp in the fried rice.

    2. Grilled Pork Chop

    As someone who's grown up surrounded by vietnamese food, it's hard competition. This place has decent vietnamese food, it's a nice fusion restaurant.

    7. Summer Roll
    Russell J.

    NGL, my expectations for pho in Ocean City were minimal at best, but HOLY COW! This was some of the best pho I've ever had (and we live in DC). Broth was rich and flavorful, full-bodied without too much salt. My one comment would be to add a little more meat, but otherwise, a solid option!

    8. Flank and Brisket Pho
    Carson F.

    One of my favorite places in town. I work right nearby so I typically go in before work. It's a great experience even by myself and the food comes out quick. Obviously have to get the Pho since it's in the name. You will not be disappointed and will want to drink straight from the bowl like me.

    Combination

    Nice! I wanted soup on a very cold night so I and the princess agreed on PHO so open up the trusty yelp app and sure enough found "1" pho place in the whole strip. The friendly staff is not busy since nobody's in town haha. I ordered a combination of pho and spring rolls for Me and the little one .good size pho bowl. The broth is tasty so is the spring roll a bit skinny but at least it tasted good. Good find especially if you like pho. Recommend this place. So

    Meatball pho
    Vickie W.

    Price for portion is off here- the regular pho's are what other restaurants classify as small size, the spring rolls are small for the price (see photo, utensils for size comparison). There was a decent amount of meat in my meatball pho but my husband's brisket was sparse. Service is no-frill, to the point.

    Best pho I've had in a while. Although the waitress didn't know what she was doing and the appetizers sucked.

The…read morewaitress was honest and said about 9 out of 10 customers loved their lobster rolls as compared to those in Maine. She told me if I did not like it, she would get me something else. So often, there are restaurants that overcook the lobster making it chewy. Matt's Fish Camp cooked it perfectly. They were extremely busy. But the hostesses and cleanup kept the tables turning.

    Cute ambiance, good service, fresh seafood, and rooftop seating…read more There is limited parking around the restaurant, but I noticed they had some reserved parking for their restaurant across the street as well, which has signage. The cocktails were great, and the crab and pimento dip was just okay. I ordered the shrimp and grits from the daily specials menu and didn't love it. The shrimp came with the shells still on the tail, which I had to pick off myself. Also the chorizo wasn't crumbled, but cooked in the casing and then cut up, which made it rock hard and taste very strongly of iron. It's what I would imagine a blood sausage to taste like (gross!). I didn't finish my plate, which was a bit disappointing. My family ordered a crab cake sandwich and fried fish sandwich, which they said were good though. Not a bad spot to stop if you're on the north side of Ocean City.

    Recently in OC, MD, we ruled out a handful of suggested restaurants by looking at menus and decided…read moreon Hooked. We were looking for a delicious fish dish. We were set on getting the salmon and the swordfish dishes which we did, and it did not disappoint! They were the most delicious dishes I had experienced in a long time. I asked about the seasoning on the salmon and the waitress, who was fabulous, said it was Moroccan. I loved the hint of cinnamon but according to the Moroccan spice I looked at on the web, it is a combination of numerous spices which amounts to a delicious combination of flavors. Both dishes were paired perfectly with their sides and sauces. I have never left a review about a restaurant before. This will be one of my few unforgettable meals. If dining inside, bring a sweater. They don't skimp on their air-conditioning. It was a cool night so we ate outside which was nice, but what made it nicer was our wonderful waitress, Fanika(?), who had the most awesome, helpful, outgoing personality that makes a dining experience that much better. And she was right about the coconut espresso martini. It was delicious! She also mentioned that the menus are seasonal so I am looking forward to returning to Hooked when I'm back in OC and trying other meals. I'm hooked!!

The Chef looks familiar, I think I tasted his food before at one of the Celebrity Chefs Brunches for Meals on Wheels. I remember it being fantastic. There is outside dining but I booked inside as we weren't sure how warm it would be in May. It turned out to be a cold and windy weekend so we were very glad to be inside, plus the outside tables have a view of the highway. What a cute little restaurant inside; it is very tiny. We were crammed into a table in the corner. It was difficult to get past the other diners at their tables, and we could hear all the conversations around us. Every table was packed, I can't imagine what it's like in this room during the busy summer. Noelle was our server and she was amazing; very knowledgeable and friendly. She described the homemade bread service to us, and we ordered 2 Coastalpolitans which were made with Tito's Vodka, lime, soju, St. Germaine, and cranberry. They were sweet, and tart, and bright, and delicious. We decided on crab toast instead of the bread, and Noelle said we made the right choice. Wow, she was correct. The crab toast blew us away. It was chunks of crab on fluffy, crispy milk bread with pickled scallions, radish, lemon aioli, kelp powder, and lime. So beautiful and so delectable! RJ ordered the Pork Chop, which Noelle said One Coastal is known for, and I ordered the NJ Day Boat Scallops. We had no words. We sat there and quietly enjoyed every bite while listening to the surrounding tables, and knew we found a maybe not so hidden gem. My scallops were delicate and buttery and sweet, and melted in my mouth. RJ said his pork chop was tender and juicy, and the best he ever had. That is saying something. We finished with bread pudding because who doesn't love a good bread pudding, and we like to try it whenever we see one that looks interesting. It was salty and sweet and just so perfect. What One Coastal lacks in space and view, it makes up for with food and service. What a delightful place, and Noelle was a pleasure and a joy. We will definitely return to try all the other things and be lucky to sit anywhere inside or out.

We waited pretty long between our appetizers and entrees. They list gluten and dairy containing products on the menu. Food: the food was fresh and you could tell everything was made in house. The menu changes frequently and what we saw online was different when we got there. The salad was good but could have used a splash or 2 more of dressing. They had a bread appetizer special which tasted like an upscale Texas Roadhouse bread and butter. The duck breast entree had great flavor but it didn't fully mesh well together. Some bites were great while some lacked. The duck itself was good very well
