Ordered from this spot for takeout from recommendation of a friend. It seems it's called "Asian Burmese Kitchen" now. Ordering online was easy and the order was ready upon pickup. Ordered two egg rolls which were delicious. The tuna avocado roll was average in my opinion, but satisfied my sushi craving. I really enjoyed their wonton soup. It had a darker, richer broth as compared to other spots with a good amount of tasty wontons. The fried rice and lo mein were both very good and also generous portions. Overall, this spot was good and I'd definitely order from here again! read more

We had the lunch delivered and the portions were so large we had enough for lunch the next day. I had wonton soup and shrimp lomein and there was probably at least 10 shrimp in there and it was nicely seasoned as well. Everyone enjoyed their lunch so we will definitely be ordering from there again. Before the pandemic you could be seated and now take out only but well worth it read more

Horrible service. Food was supposed to be ready for pickup at 11:49. Wasn't ready until 12:13 and the order was missing the soup (good thing i checked). Once I corrected that and got back to the office, one lunch special was supposed to be Thai Basil and they gave me LoMein. SMH The quality of the food has also gone down since the new owners took over. read more

Solid carryout American Chinese food, with large portions and reasonable prices. Food is always ready on time and the people who work the front counter are friendly. Nothing amazing, but one of our two favorite Chinese carryout places near our house (and there are several others). read more

American Asian used to serve great food before the pandemic. The quality of the food has very much declined however. We got two entrees here last week and they were the quality of all you can eat chinese buffet food, not restaurant food where you purchase a specific entree. The sauces were coarse and lumpy, not refined and glossy like you would expect. You could tell that the sauces were frozen or reheated too many times. And the sauce is what makes the whole dish. The inside of the place is a mess. It used to be sit down dining and now it is just take out. They have hodge podge furniture here and there and tables blocking the space. I understand if they want to convert from sit down dining to carry out only but gosh we are years past the pandemic now so make yourself look presentable. The people working here are very friendly. There is lots of parking. I don't think they let you use the bathroom since it is now takeout only. I have no plans to come back here again, we have so many other asian and chinese restaurants in the area that are better. The food here used to be great quality and the dining room used to be so neat and clean, so it is kind of sad to see what this place has become. read more

Our favorite pan-Asian place closed down a few month ago and we've been looking for a good replacement. Thanks to Yelp, we found American Asian and I think we found a new favorite! They offer a mix of Chinese, Japanese, and Thai dishes. Overall, the food is fantastic. The Orange Chicken was delightful. It was a little more savory than other places with pieces of scallion, orange peel, and sesame seeds dotted throughout and without that artificial orange color. The Chicken Satay came with fat pieces of chicken that was well seasoned, a big hit with the kids! The veggie tempura appetizer was delicious - crispy and a nice variety of veg. All the sushi was great - we got the spicy tuna, crunchy spicy tuna, Boston roll, and the vegetable maki special roll. I would get all of them again. The following weren't bad, but just okay: Egg roll - basic, nothing to write home about. Ditto for Pad Thai (needed more lime). The Tom Yum Soup was just strange. Not bad, but not that hot, sour, limey and fish saucy broth that I get at most Thai-specific joints. In times of Corona, they are keeping things SUPER safe. You walk into what is basically a booth and they exchange payment through a little slot and there is a box with a little door where they put your food to pick up. Zero contact between client and owner. There is also plenty of hand sanitizer for customers. They allow dining in, but only one table at a time. I felt safe. The prices are fair, and the folks are friendly. I left to pick mine up late and they even called to make sure I hadn't forgotten. Can't wait to try more from the menu! read more

I decided to try American Asian for takeout after seeing several mixed reviews about the place. What I like about this place is that they had a Dinner Special menu, while most place solely have a Lunch Special. From the Dinner Special menu, I ordered the Kung Pao and Szechuan Style Roast Pork (both $10.95). Each item comes with a choice of egg roll (pork, shrimp, or veg) and a side order. All this for $10.95 is a good deal. I got the Veg and Pork egg roll and for the sides, I got the hot and sour soup and another spring roll. The spring rolls were decent. They were a bit of the greasy end, but tolerable. The hot and sour soup, however, was terrible. There was nothing sour about it and it was incredibly thick. Above all, it was bland and absolutely no flavor. I highly suggest you choose a different side with your order. The Kung Pao beef was good. It had the usual peanuts and peppers, but also zucchini which I thought was an interesting addition. The Szechuan style roast pork was also enjoyable. It had a slight kick and lots of shredded carrots. I also got the Crispy Beef since I saw it was one of their popular dishes on Yelp. I have to say though, it was too sweet for me and not very crispy at all. One thing I do wish, is they would provide more rice. The meat to rice ratio is like 3:1. It's not a dealbreaker for me since I could always make more rice at home, but if I were to dine in, I would hate to have to pay extra for more rice. In the takeout bag, they also gave me two free almond cookies :) All in all, I would definitely order take out from here again considering the prices and that the food was actually pretty decent. It didn't take too long, maybe 20 minutes, for the food to be ready. I decided to try American Asian for takeout after seeing several mixed reviews about the place.

Food was not great. Tasted like bland greasy American Chinese. I am not sure the meat was actually chicken. Service was great and the ambiance was a little outdated. Will likely not return. read more

Since moving to Catonsville a few years ago, we have not had a lot of luck with finding the perfect Chinese restaurant. One of our favorite dishes is shrimp fried rice and for some reason we have only found one place in Marriottsville that makes it the way we like it. Tonight, I think we found a new place to get food from a little closer to our home. We got an order of gyoza, crispy beef and shrimp fried rice. All dishes were very good and service could be done all online. My husband went to pick it up and everything was ready to go. Very nice staff and everything had a good flavor. We will be trying some more of their dishes soon! read more

Best Chinese Food Arbutus.. that is what everyone said so my husband and I tried it out and got hooked! I am a big fan of the steamed dumplings. I like to cut them in half and soak in the hoisin sauce before eating. I like the General Tso chicken, Hunan Chicken, and Sesame Chicken. I am a enjoy eating chicken! My husband usually gets the Shrimp fried rice and crab rangoon. Both delicious! They use large size shrimp and not those weird tiny shrimp. They also serve Sushi and Thai food. I ordered the Drunk Noodles one night but thought they were a little bland. Drunk noodles are usually pretty spicy so that was disappointing. Occasionally I have ordered an eel roll or something else cooked but I generally order from Sushi-Q if I want Sushi. The Sushi here is OK if you don't want to drive to Elkridge but we tend to stick to the Chinese Food. COVID PRECAUTIONS ABOUND! This is the most cautious restaurant I have seen/ They stopped doing delivery and closed down the dining room at the start of the pandemic so they are now CARRY OUT ONLY. They built a vestibule by the door with thick plexiglass like you see at a gas station in the cirty. They put the food in a bag through a little door. I applaud their efforts to remain open and stay safe during the pandemic. read more

American Asian - Steamed Pork Dumpling - Chinese Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

We decided that we wanted to get Chinese to support. I did some research but there are not a ton of options in this area. All the other reviews said that it's very hit or miss and the consistency isn't great. We ordered some app favorites in Rangoon & egg roll. The Rangoon was heavy on the cheese and it didn't come with a dipping sauce. The egg roll had ok flavor but was a bit greasy. We also ordered steam pork dumplings. The meat inside was really well seasoned but the dough part was way too thick - it was like a Russian dumpling thickness. Then we split it down the middle and got one Chinese entree, General Tsaos, and one Thai entree of Pad Thai. The general was super bland and not very flavorful - the pad Thai was better but still pretty meh. When I was talking to my partner about how we would rate our meal, she was like I don't know a 3? And I that what I started thinking but then I was like, but also we would never choose to order from here again. It's just not worth the $62 we spent. So that's why it's 2/5. Everything was edible and fine, but that's pretty much it. Oh also we used DoorDash and it was lovely and they came pretty quickly. read more

Good food. Excellent service. Very clean. Great prices and solid menu. We love their donuts!

Food is consistent and delicious. It would be great if they delivered. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends and family.

New to the neighborhood and tried this place, so glad I did. The egg rolls are light and not laden with oil. Rice is fluffy and fresh. Had the Thai basil with meat. It was well seasoned and spicy. Sushi is made fresh. Staff are friendly and quick. Restaurant wasn't crowded. read more

Velly good American-Asian spot in Arbutus. Sushi is awesome, and they have some Thai dishes as well. Used to be a full service dining room, but it's been cally-out only since Covid. Highly recommended. Confucious say: Go now! No wait! read more

Amazing local business. Always ready in a timely manner. Always dependable. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Food is always hot, fresh, and delicious. Service is always quick and polite. Wish they would bring back the option to dine in, but love the food anyway! read more

They never disappoint. So many choices, always on time. We have enjoyed our local go to for almost three decades. I'm so glad we got thru the pandemic and still get to have a local super star. read more

American Asian has been one of our favorite restaurants for the past several years!!! We are always pleased with the food, sushi, Chinese, Thai, etc. The family and employees are always VERY friendly and they get the job done well We just picked up tonight and they are extremely safe with COVID and you can tell they've made a real effort to stay healthy and keeping us, healthy too! Can't wait for them to start delivering again! Thank you! read more

Yeah, this place is pretty good. It's family owned and they're genuine. Even though there's a slight language barrier with some of the workers there, they understood what I ordered. All of us who're familiar with Chinese food knows that there's a Crispy Beef but never a Crispy Chicken so I wanted to try it out and see if it's any good. A Chinese place that has Thai styled foods? Got their soup and wanted an appetizer, dumplings to be precise, so I got the Gyoza. As I ordered my food, I saw a pile of magazines to the side so I got a Travel, Vacation kinda magazine and sat down. As I was about to finish skimming through the magazine, I got my food. I realized that I was supposed to tell em I wanted to eat in before ordering but since I didn't, they had all my food to go. I asked them if I could stay and eat and they said sure. Sweet. So I tried out the Gyoza first and while that was alright, the Tom Ka Soup was delicious. A little rich in flavor and it was hot. I then had some of the Crispy Chicken and that was delicious. It was just like Crispy Beef except it tasted like Chicken. A hidden gem, located next to a 7 Eleven and is in between some neighborhoods. read more

bf and I have decided this place is the bestest ever and have named it our favorite local asian spot. Since my last review, I've gone twice and have had the sushi as well as the pad thai and loved them both. everything is priced well and the service is great.we even waled in one night 15 minutes before closing and got hot fresh made takeout with a smile. I can't blab about this place enough. a must go if you are in the area and craving asian. read more

3.5 stars would be more like it. Shrimp with walnuts was good and hot and sour soup was tasty. The drunken noodles with chicken wasn't right and came with rice ? and no basil. The moo shoo with pork was decent. read more

Nice neighborhood chinese place. I normally order the sesame chicken or the sweet and sour chicken. Good food sizes. I would recommend going for lunch. Prices are better for lunch, and you still get a healthy portion of food. read more

Give them a try! We have only had one mishap here and that was I wanted white rice and was given fried rice. I didn't notice it until I was home and didn't want to run back out. But the staff is friendly and the food is decent. I typically order "all white meat" general tso's. It's pretty tasty. The portion sizes are decent as well. I always have left overs. The wonton soup is good as well! read more

Before I found American Asian, I bounced around trying to find a Chinese food that was just as good as the original Double Dragon on SW Blvd. Here at AA, I found what I was looking for. The food is fantastic, you never wait long and everyone is very friendly! The only thing I don't like is the food can be very oily sometimes and depending on what you get. And although it happens so few and far between, I have received a wrong order. Overall, this place is amazing and I always look forward to my Thursday meal with them! read more

Great COVID19 set up! They really are trying to keep things safe. The food... amazing! We love it! My husband and I love ordering from them. Their drunken noodles are just so delicious!! They're my favorite! My son loves their veggie fried and my husband loves the kung pao chicken. They never disappoint. Food is packaged well. We will always order from them! read more

The service is decent usually but I have had to wait to be noticed when it wasn't busy. I usually just seat myself and wait for someone to come over. It's seldom too packed in here which is good. The food is good, good prices and not a long wait to get what you ordered. This is a popular takeout restaurant for people who live in the area. read more

Props to Caitlin C for her review that talked me into going to an entirely new section of Maryland I'd never been to. While it might not be my favorite Chinese food place ... it doesn't have the greatest competition to go up against in the area, so it is up there for cheap take out in driving distance. And it is cheap, but still up there in quality. Pineapple Fried Rice: Pretty good but maybe on the bland side. I ended up using the left overs to mix with some home made stir fry the next day, and I realized it may have been better after sitting the night. Still - we did go veggie on this, so if you got chicken or shrimp it might take on those flavors and be better. I'd get it again. Shrimp Pad Thai - okay, this is why I'm coming back. The shrimps were juicy and large. It was flavored (though not spicy) and still managed to have a nice crunch to the peanuts. Really well done! We had some as left overs the next day, and it was still great. Dumpling Soup - I hadn't been feeling well the previous few days, so this was a comfort thing and it hit the spot. Very generous with the dumplings. Spring Rolls - kind of small, but at 1.50 you get what you pay for. They were good, but I might explore other appetizers. As far as the place, if you are eating in, it is very clean, but lacks a bit on atmosphere. I saw MANY people come in and out for take out while I was there, but despite it being Friday at 7pm, I think I only saw one table seated at the place. read more

I ordered through DoorDash a few times and it has been consistently good. I've tried General Tso's Chicken, egg rolls, edamame. Not very adventurous, but I am looking forward to expanding my horizons knowing my basic favorite is well done. I grabbed carry out one night, and they are so nice. It's a cute and tidy place. That's what earned the fifth star. read more

Great COVID-19 set up. Been here many times, food has always been great! Employees have always been kind! Prices for dinner/entrees seem a little higher than others, but still a go to place for me! read more

Quite possibly the best Chinese / Thai / Japanese restaurant in the area. Good selection, including a wide selection of sushi and maki. The combo platters are really a good deal. A soup, egg roll, and healthy sized portion of your entree usually means leftovers, and all for around $7.50. This place appears to do a good deal of business, and usually has several patrons who eat-in. Eat in dining, carry out and delivery. read more

DISCLAIMER: If you are looking for genuine Asian food, look elsewhere. Come, as the name of the restaurant suggests, for American[ized] Asian cuisine. This place is as good as it gets in the area for Americanized Asian. The place is aptly named, and shouldn't be ashamed of it. Out of the dozens of Americanized Asian places I've ever been to, American Asian is probably the best one of them all. A small-seeming restaurant with without all the pink drapery and very mellow nonclassical piano music in the background with good service to boot, American Asian breaks the mold of traditional Americanized Asian joints and raises the bar. They have not only Chinese, but also Japanese and Thai options. They even have sushi, the only option that I haven't tried. As far as the Chinese, Japanese, and Thai options go, they are good, but also cheap, and very generous in portion. This place probably has the cheapest Thai food ever, and I believe it is capable of satisfying almost any quick Thai craving. The Thai Basil is excellent, as is the Thai Pineapple Fried Rice; the latter option is always ordered when I go. Also, the little fried donuts you get at the end are an awesome bonus. If you're looking for Americanized Chinese food with a kick, I heavily recommend giving this place a try! read more

Love this place!!! Great food, great managment, friendly workers and good prices. Hunan Chicken and chicken egg foo young are my go to. read more

I got tipped off to this place by a co-worker, and took the girlfriend to try it out last night. The pan-Asian menu was pretty comprehensive with all the standard Japanese, Thai & Chinese dishes present. We decided to try the shrimp toast, and a combo platter each of General Tso's chicken & Fried Rice w/ Won-ton Soup and Chicken Drunken Noodles w/ Miso. The shrimp toast was pretty good, and spot on for what was expected. The soups were also both good (and it had been a while since I'd had a decent bowl of Miso, myself). Girlfriend was pleased that the chicken was all white-meat, and the General Tso's was quite good. The drunken noodles were the perfect amount of spicy for me (good kick but not so much that it overtakes the rest of the dish) and had equal parts chicken, noodles, and veggies instead of a giant bowl of noodles and a bit of the rest like I've had elsewhere. There was enough to where I even had leftovers (which is a-typical for me). We were quite pleased with the meal, and even with a couple sodas it was still under $25 for the both of us, when we got our fortune cookies and two complimentary donuts with a dollop of whipped cream. Nothing like surprise dessert to seal the deal. read more

American Asian - Chinese Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Came in at about 9 on a Saturday night. They seemed to be having some sort of family event and the staff was too busy watching the kids running around to be bothered to check on me. I was asked to place my order as I was ordering my drink. Ordered 'drunken noodles' which was literally just flat rice noodles in soy sauce, and was way too salty to finish. The waitress also brought my check about 20 minutes in, which I guess was a pretty clear signal that it was time to leave. Amid the running, screaming children, the over salted 'thai' dish, and the garbage service, I can't see anyone giving this place 3+ stars. This was also one of three times in my life that I haven't left a tip. Also, if you're having a family event at 9pm, why not just wait until close so you can have privacy and not have to rush customers out of the store? read more

American Asian - Chinese Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Gotta give American Asian their props. They've pared down the menu. Basic, cheap and cheerful Chinese-American and Thai-American standards are the rule of the day. Very reasonable prices and hearty portions are standard. And to be fair, the preparation and ingredients are pretty solid, too. My drunken noodles came loaded with plenty of sliced roast pork and perfectly cooked veg. Cashew chicken and veggie egg rolls were pretty much exactly what you'd expect - no surprises. Brown rice is an option with any entree. The hot and sour soup is both acceptably hot and sour. The wonton soup tastes like scallion, ginger and broth more than MSG and water like some other places. Nice. There's a page of Japanese-style dishes, including sushi rolls and udon. If you want it. I don't know if many orders come from that part of the menu, honestly. Pretty much everything we saw come out to tables was on the Chinese/Thai side of things. When there's a lot of carry-out orders coming in, service can be a bit slow. But once your order is in, food comes quick and hot. The tea's better, too. The only thing I miss are the little beignets you used to get. The Vietnamese influence has been dropped from the menu. Not that it seems to have hurt them. Highly recommended for nearby UMBC students - tasty stuff, fairly cheap, and leftovers for the dorm fridge and late-night snacking. Plus, they're open 'til 10PM seven days a week. read more

Not good food with delivery, I ordered food for 5 and charged 70$, came super late, and screwed up my order. I ordered there because they were good when I dined-in. Never getting it delivered ever agian. read more

Don't be fooled by the outside. It may look like an ordinary Chinese Carry-Out but the inside is pretty spacious. The menu has Chinese, Japanese (including sushi), and Thai food! You can get things to go or even sit down and eat. I went on a Friday afternoon around 2PM. The place wasn't very busy. The waiter was very polite and attentive. Though he kind of had an accent, he seemed happy to answer any questions. My friends and I got the lunch special. I got the two rolls (of sushi) special ~$7.00. It comes with a bowl of miso soup. It was all very filling. They do not skimp on the fish! I hate sushi restaurants that try to pack on the rice and skimp on the fish. This place knows sushi. When the bill came, each of us got the traditional fortune cookies along with a complementary free fried donut! All in all, I'd say this place is better than any other chinese joint around the UMBC campus! read more
