The Most Delectable Noodles in Baltimore

Asian Cuisine & Seafood

★★★★☆ 3.6 (17)

"What a great find! I confess I was pulled in by their 50% grand opening discount, but I'll definitely come back again at their normal prices. Too bad the discount was only for their first five days. First, I like that they have small and regular portions, so you can choose just the right amount of food throughout the day, as opposed to lunch and dinner portions that are served only for certain hours. Second, they have a wide variety of dishes."

Pho Miss Saigon

★★★★☆ 3.6 (171) • $

"The two stars are for the broth and being consistent. It's been at least over a year since I visited Pho Miss Saigon and the pho is still amazing. I appreciate the consistency. They weren't very busy earlier this evening and whenever it rains I always crave ramen or pho. The gentleman who waited on us was eager for us to order and once we placed our order he brung our drinks and food then never returned. I had a dry throat coughing fit and still was not offered more water. I'll leave it at that"

Sakura Japanese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.7 (135) • $$

"I wanted to like Sakura Japanese Restaurant so much because after we rented a car with no trunk our Delaware visit got scrapped so it was the one other place beyond Halloween City that we stopped into.But we didn't know they did an 'all you can eat' special when we dropped in, which was not the type of restaurant we were looking for. We decided to stay and I ordered the usual suspects, an avocado and cucumber roll as well as miso soup.The service was friendly and I enjoyed their decor and that the rolls were served in a boat, but the food was simply okay. Nothing amazing, just average quality ingredients made into average sushi. At the end of the day, I wouldn't make a special trip for Sakura Japanese Restaurant and would likely try another spot first."

Vn Noodle House

★★★★☆ 4 (293) • $$

"Very good!! Im not eating meat this month, and I found that they had a lot of vegetarian options on their menu to choose from. The summer rolls were packed with vegetables and tofu, they were pretty filling. I ordered the large vegetable pho and I had to take half of it to go. The portions were great for the price and although I had veggie broth, it had a lot of flavor."

"The food was so good. Reminded me of Hawaiian poke bowl. My friends all enjoyed their bowls. The service was fast and there bathrooms were super clean."

Dumpling District

★★★★☆ 4.1 (33)

"Ordered via DoorDash. It was amazing! Looking forward to stop for a sit in visit. It was a quick service but worth it so hungry didn't have tike for pictures."

MAC PHO

★★★★★ 4.5 (4)

"This is not Pho Deelite. Kind of hidden on the side of them. Great service, fast and tasty food. They even have some Cantonese stuff like oil sticks, porridge and chow fun!Pho just a couple of gripes, soup us pretty oil, should be strained a lot more. Noodles seem to have been cut, they are a bit short and tons of small bits on the bottom of the bowl you'll need to fish out. Much better than Pho Deelite, recommend coming here instead!"

Mali Thai Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.3 (222) • $$

"This restaurant was a wonderful hidden gem that I stumbled upon! Some family members and I were headed to my nieces play close by and looking for dinner before the show . This place was perfect. Really cute inside and lovely staff. Food was great. I got Pad See Ew, delicious. Others had drunken noodles , pad king , and other dishes. Everything was so good!"

Sakura Cafe

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (32)

"WE HAVE A YELP NEWS ALERT!!! At Sakura Cafe, you can eat the Fire Cracker Roll SOLO DOLO!! I normally dip my sushi/sashimi in soy sauce with wasabi but I tried one solo dolo and ended up eating the all of them without dipping them! The Fire Cracker Roll was fried with a smoked salmon. Their description of it is smoke salmon & eel inside, fried tempura style with unagi sauce, and spicy sauce. This was an award winning roll!! I will definitely be coming back for this roll!!This place is a diamond among the rough streets of Baltimore. This location offers no seating. You walk in, order, then wait for your order. My order took around 15 minutes to prepare-not bad at all. I also ordered the Eel Roll. It was a good roll. But not life changing like the Fire Cracker Roll. I also ordered General Tso's Chicken with a side of Lo Mein noodles. The General Tso's Chicken was good, I would only complain that it needs to be less dry. The lady behind the counter was generous and gave me a free sample of their chicken curry. The chicken curry was a delicious. I would definitely order it as a main dish. I was surprised by Sakura Cafe's extensive menu. They offer sushi platters, sushi rolls, hibachi combos, bento boxes, hot coffee, mochi ice cream, bubble teas, hot chocolates, hot subs/sandwiches, & breakfast combo platters. Give this place a try."

Shi Miao Dao Noodle House

★★★★★ 4.5 (46)

"I was skeptical to try this place as my go to soup is literally a few steps from this.After trying this place, it's a MUST visit noodle house. I tried the pork broth with chicken karaage. It is so flavorful. Staff is friendly and very helpful navigating the menu."

Rice & Noodles

★★★☆☆ 3 (6)

"The food came fast and was full of flavor. And the restaurant had a cool industry design. Great place to stop after a show or late night."

Noodle King Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (322) • $$

"Meh. Food was fine, but not as good as others have described. Others have said that it is worth paying double what you would elsewhere, but we just didn't find it to be very special. Maybe it was an off night for them.Also, when did places start filling wontons with shrimp instead of a pork mixture...?"

Banana Blossom Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.3 (156) • $$

"So good. Big generous servings of everything. The garden spring rolls are so fresh and delicious. The tofu vermicelli bowl was also fresh, fun to eat, and such a mix of flavors. So great.It is a small place, but fine to eat in, and scrupulously clean. Convenient parking too."

Nam Pho

★★★★★ 4.6 (81)

"I used to visit this place often. I stopped coming when my last visit was a little less than pleasing.Anyways, decided to give it a try again. Mind you, It's a 40 minute drive for me so I passed quite a few Pho places on the way. Today was meh. It was basic. Nothing special.Things really get interesting if you don't like something or point out an errorFor example, the fried spring rolls says it comes with three. I was served two. If you're not going to update the menu, please train your staff to share the update if and when a client orders that item. I ordered the lime drink. I've gotten this at least six times in the past. It was God awful today. My server took it back to the kitchen and the woman owner was not having it. She added more ice and lime and told him to bring it back to me. I didn't ask her to do that. Ma'am, it's nasty!!! It's bitter. It's missing mint. It's missing something key...it doesn't look like it used to look. I don't want it and therefore you can't force it on me. When I asked to have the drink removed from the check, the female owner came out of the kitchen and asked what's wrong. I told her "it's nasty!" Oh ...she was seeing red. Angry. She said many other things like the palm sweetener comes from Thailand and she doesn't have it, etc. Ma'am ....share all that before I place the order.What's interesting...one of the customers across from me had the same disposition as the female owner and she received much better service. Maybe it's cultural, I don't know. The customer (maybe she's a friend) yelled out "where's my water?" Then when a bowl was brought to her, she said "I want regular. Take it back." All was well when she complained. And the customer was loud. I was shocked when another table of diners got up to leave and the loud customer said "You're so skinny," to the stranger walking by. You could see it made the lady leaving uncomfortable. What an awkward lunch. I don't miss this place as much as I thought I did. It's all good...until you don't like something. The female owner gets very defensive. How do you improve if you're not open to constructive criticism?"

Be More Thai Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.6 (135) • $$

"I always look forward to eating here! I enjoy that the menu has lots of options and different types of protein. The servers always check in regularly, and it's a really calm place for a 1-on-1 meal when catching up with friends. The thai food is flavorful and satisfying."

Water Song Yunnan Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (178) • $$

"Came here for a business lunch. The ambience was very new age Chinese. Well decorated, very serene. Our server, Vivi, was friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. She made some recommendations that we did not regret.It is rare to get good Yunnan food. I had such a great time. Looking forward to my next trip here."

Katana Sushi & Ramen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (94) • $$

"Good sushi here. The hotel staff at Best Western recommended this place. They serve a mix of various types of Asian cuisine. I was in the mood for sushi so I got it. I always love a good avocado salad but I wasn't a huge fan of the dressing they served on the salad. I enjoyed the sushi, I forget what sushi roll I got but it was good and I ate it all in the restaurant. I love salmon sushi and tuna sushi. This review might be a bit biased if you don't like either. lol. I will come back if I'm in the area."

China Dynasty

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (50) • $$

"UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT is exactly what this place needed. We didn't like the old place, but this NEW one is great! We had takeout - got two Thai dishes, and REALLY liked the food. They use fresh ingredients, nothing was oily (even the fried rice wasn't too oily), and the portions are VERY generous. We are getting take-out again this weekend. Super excited for good Thai so nearby.Two combo platters - Thai basil & Thai garlic - cost $22-ish."

Kanji Noodle Bar

★★★★☆ 4.2 (18)

"We really enjoyed our meal here! We ordered pork gyoza, chicken buns, and two ramens- I got the spicy tonkotsu ramen and my husband got the "meat lovers" tonkotsu ramen. We also split some mochi ice cream and took advantage of the collaboration with kung fu tea to order some bubble tea. We sat down and there was table service, but it was casual, and there was plenty of people coming in to order take-out. Only one or two other people sat down to eat while we were there (a Monday evening). Service was fast but well-paced. Everything exceeded our expectations- the food was well-portioned, delicious, and not overly expensive. I am so glad we gave this place a try and we will almost certainly be back!"

Szechwan Hunan

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (35) • $$

"They may not look like much outisde, but they have Pretty good Chinese food and the ladies who work here are friendly. I always get the beef fried rice and wings. I tried an egg roll my last visit and it was crisp and delicious. One of the few places that provide extra onion in my rice when asked. The crab Rangoon is delicious as well. I visit maybe a few times a year.Conveniently located the the shopping Plaza with Giant next door to Macys."

Colala Grind Express

★★★★☆ 3.5 (16)

"I've long lamented that there is no good, authentic Chinese food in Baltimore proper. Not anymore. This place is excellent.I picked up lunch to-go on a weekday afternoon. The place was clean and the service was quick and friendly. I had the Chongqing noodles and an order of two cabbage and pork buns, and everything was delicious. It also held up well over my 30-minute drive home because they package the noodles and broth separately. The portions were bigger than expected; in fact, just the two buns (for only $6!) would've probably been enough for a filling lunch.If you, like me, are tired of eating the same old Americanized "Chinese" food in Baltimore, you gotta try this place."

The Dara

★★★★☆ 4.3 (99)

"The Dara is my go to Thai place in Baltimore because not only does it offer delicious cuisines, it's also vibey. We essentially order the same thing each time we go.Thai Teani (10/10) - it's the Thai Tea version of a creamy espresso martini.Coconut shrimp (10/10) - they have the perfect crisp and flavor, but it's not just the shrimp. It's the base which is an apple salad that really steals the show. The dressing is made in house and it's light yet packed with flavor. It will make your taste buds jump. Drunken noodles (vegetables) (10/10) - you can choose whatever protein and spice level you desire I prefer the veggies. The sauce is packed with flavor and everything is freshly made. Pad Thai (vegetables) (10/10) - similar to the drunken noodles you can pick your protein and spice level. Super fresh and flavorful. This was my friend's dish and it was so good she doubled back the next day and got it for take-out. Mango sticky rice (9/10) - this was my first time trying mango sticky rice. I enjoyed. I think I wasn't anticipating how sweet it was. Which is strictly preference. It was very tasty though."

Chopin Noodle House

★★★★☆ 4.1 (52)

"Noodle soup was good. However, a cup of chinese hot tea costs $3.50 without refill seems way too high. Added $2.95 for vegetables but didn't realize that it is just a few pieces of bok choy. Reap off place. Stick to basic without paying for tea and add ons."

Manow Thai

★★★★☆ 4.1 (90) • $$

"The food here is wonderful. A lot of Thai restaurants in the area add lots of extra sugar and tone down the Thai spices, but the food here has a great balance of Thai flavors. Also, if you request spicy, they actually make it very spicy, which we really love (if you aren't accustomed to eating hot peppers, definitely do not order your food spicy here). The chicken and beef dishes have been great, freshly cooked, well-trimmed pieces of meat, and vegetables have never been overcooked or soggy. Some of our favorites: papaya salad, summer rolls, pad ginger, green curry, pad prik khing, and Thai basil fried rice. They can make most of the entrees gluten free, have many vegan dishes, and they offer brown rice as an option."

Sakura Japanese Sushi Restaurant in Elsmere

★★★★☆ 4.4 (223) • $$

"This restaurant is on the smaller side but in the best way. You are immediately greeted with a warm welcome as you enter, truly feels like home! The service is so fast but they give you plenty of time to look things over, there is no rushed feeling what so ever. The menu is pretty big but I've never disliked a roll here! The garlic roll was so different and delicious! The vegetable fried rice had a Smokey taste which I liked but it was surprising! Overall such a great place to dine or take out!"

Yuzu Ramen Noodle Bar

★★★★★ 4.6 (8)

"Good, quick fast ramen. Tucked in a little corner the food is delicious and tasty. They were attentive and had great service. I loved the decor."

Honeygrow

★★★★☆ 3.8 (12)

"HOLY MOLY!!! WOW!! So pleasantly surprised, came in with no expectations and was blown away!!! This may just be one of my new favorite restaurants!! I would have taken a picture but we ate so fast! The people in there were so nice, and it was so clean! Gluten free options were delicious (didn't feel like I was missing out) and everything was easy EASILY customizable!"

Yo Cafe

★★★★☆ 4 (19)

"Fun and different little spot headed from Towson into Timonium! I was really in the mood for some popping boba! I ended up getting a lychee green tea iced and it had the actual lychee fruit as opposed to the boba! Very good! I would definitely return. The staff were super friendly! I also grabbed some shrimp and chicken lo mein which was so hot and fresh. Very yummy!"

China Chef

★★★★☆ 3.8 (47) • $

"Walked in. Ordered low mein with chicken. Shrimp veggies and dumplings. The shrimp was awesome in fact everything was excellent. The service was very friendly. I will return. I didn't call. I got my fat butt off the couch and picked up."

Lemongrass - Arnold

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (113) • $$

"Insanely good Thai food! This was my second time, and once again, did not disappoint . Their Beef salad has got to be the best there is! Real sirloin steak with a real char grilled taste to match, and the chili lime dressing I could drink! I also had the chicken drunken noodles. Those were also 5 star quality, and they accomadated my extra spicy request to perfection. I could eat here once a week no problem. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The decor as a very buddahish chill vibe which you would expect in Thai culture. The only complaint from last time was the music. CHANGE IT! The first time it was like mellow almost house music. This time, trashy dopey rap that talked about nothing but drugs and sex. I'm pretty sure this was turned on by accident or by one of the staff ,so I will not hold that against the restaurant. Or I sure hope! No lie when I tell you the one song said F×ck Jennifer 50 times. If I would have had kids with me I would have walked out. I almost said something, but didn't. The trashy drug music is why I have 4 vs 5 stars. I highly recommend and I will be back the next time if that kind of music is playing I will say something."

Uno Pho Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (14)

"Brand new pho spot in Langley Park! We discovered this place driving by and were very to excited to try them out!We had our usual go tos at any and every pho spot - summer rolls and pho! Summer rolls were delicious, I asked for no pork, just the shrimp, and they kindly accommodated. Now what solidified this 5 star review - the pho! Delicious pho broth with plenty of meat (had the pho tai chin). They even provide other sauces aside from sriracha and hoisin (sate, chili sauce, and unsure what the last seasoning was). You can never go wrong with pho as long as the broth hits!Prices are great and more affordable than other pho restaurants I've been to in the area. Restaurant is very clean and well put together. Staff is very friendly and attentive."

Amina Thai

★★★★☆ 4 (508) • $$

"I placed an online order for pick-up. The site was very user friendly, I had no issues placing my order. When I arrived at the restaurant, the employees were super kind and greeted me right away. It was very clean inside and super cute. My food was made right away and I took it home. It was still hot. Very delicious. Highly recommend this place. I ordered the panang curry with chicken. This was my first time here and it won't be my last."

Mi & Yu Noodle Bar

★★★★☆ 3.7 (165) • $$

"I've lived at the rotunda / icon and figured if I'm that close to home I should probably just make food at home, until one day when I was coming back from a long day of errands and looked through all the menus in the area and decided to check out this place. It far exceeded my expectations!! Great, quality food!!My only suggestion is either bring it home and dump it into a larger bowl so that you can mix it, or ask for another container, as they shove it FULL! You EASILY get your money's worth!! Highly recommend!!!"

Dashi Ramen

★★★★★ 4.9 (17)

"Dashi ramen is located inside of cross street market. We went on Halloween but I still managed to snag a free parking spot about a block away. My friend and I got the infamous Thai tea. I'm not sure if that's what it's called but it's the orange one. It was quite delicious. The chicken was fried perfectly but to be honest had way too many feathers left on it. The crab wontons were very good especially when dipped in the Asian sauce. I enjoyed my ramen tremendously. The highlight was definitely the broth. I can't say I would go again but it definitely got the job done."

Eattini Thai Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.9 (391) • $$

"Update: So last year a friend convinced me to give these guys another try and I was really pleased!These days, my go-to meal there is the spicy Drunken Noodles. I've taken the munchkins there too and we're all big fans.I feel kinda sheepish for the crummy review. Maybe it was a bad day, but duuuude I'm totally down with eating here these days.Just writing this I may stop in for dinner tonight."
