We picked up from here. The reviews seem to be promising. However we were not in the usual dishes kind of mood, so my honest opinion is more about the experience, with some food items mentioned. The dumplings: the dumplings were good the sauce was sweet. These are the old style dumplings I'm used to, where they had more of a doughy texture. I like that, not a big fan of these potstickers in style. For me they were perfect. The shrimp and black bean Sauce was good but it was my first time so, Good will have to do. I will say there was plenty of sizable shrimp. And they were perfectly cooked! But I will have to try elsewhere before further commenting. My wife's usual, Hunan chicken was very saucy but the spices were right on. My daughter got the roasted pork Lo Mein. It was her first time with that too, so good. We were all happy, and there was plenty left over. We will go back and try again, it was a good meal! read more

Central Asia Carry Out - To go foods - Chinese Near Me - Towson, Maryland

I had been craving Chinese food for the last few months but unfortunately living in silver spring it's really hard to find a tasty fried rice and chicken wing combo. But this location definitely fulfilled my cravings! I got 4 piece chicken wings and fried rice. That rice was to die for, literally did not need soy sauce or anything in addition to it. The rice was perfectly cooked and literally tasted like it was infused with the perfect amount of soy sauce. The chicken was delicious as well, with hot sauce, perfect! I called my order in and it was ready in less than 10 minutes, customer service was good! This is definetly not a sit down restaurant. There is like a little area to sit and wait for your food but otherwise, it's a carry out! The workers are pretty much behind a locked counter where we exchange cash/food through a little window. read more

Their food is always made fresh and is good, hot and priced right! They even have Vegan options!

They've been my new favorite place for two years and I'm sad to post this. For the second time in a row I ordered shrimp and lobster sauce only to receive a container of lobster sauce. First time is an honest mistake, but two in a row is careless. I give up. read more

Central Asia Carry Out - a plastic cup of soup - Chinese Near Me - Towson, Maryland

Every time I grocery shop at Aldi, I come out smelling the most delicious food ever, but I could never see the sign with the name. Tonight, on a whim, I googled til I found Central Asia. Our household has a cold, so I ordered a bunch of soups, crispy spicy beef, lo mein, and a combo order. We found a generous pack of crab Rangoon upon unpacking our order. The crab Rangoon was substantial, with a hint of ciitrus in the filling. Better than most places. The soups had this crazy good umami in all of them (hot and sour, egg drop, wonton), and the crispy beef is the best I've had yet! I'm so excited to find a new-to-me go-to for Chinese food. This place is a super legitimate, judging by our first order. I lookk forward to trying more of the extensive menu!! read more

Best Chinese Food anywhere!!! Benn going to them since 1969 !! When they had the restaurant my husband and I went there for our anniversary and birthdays every year as well as anytime we went out to dinner!!! Only went to one other restaurant once or twice a year! That was the Steak and Ale ! read more

Wings and shrimp egg roll were properly fresh and fried. Also ordered the shrimp and broccoli which was also fresh upon arrival.

Very good my favorite Asian place to eat at been a customer for a couple of years, the food never changes

Love this place! Super friendly staff. It's a hole in the wall type place but the food speaks for itself. It's PERFECTLY seasoned and not too salty at all (something you'd expect from a Chinese take out place). Good prices. Very quick service. I would definitely recommend if you're in the mood for Chinese food! read more

The BEST Chinese I've had since coming to Baltimore. I drive from Canton to Towson for the carryout, and it's still warm when I get home. Check this place out! What makes this place so good? Fresh ingredients, good and tasty seasoning, not greasy or cloying, friendly and prompt service. The food feels like it was made with love, which is pretty remarkable! The prices are a couple dollars more than your usual Chinese joint, but I think it's completely justified, given the quality and taste (and the portions are generous). I agree with the other reviewer, the fried rice is amazing! I really don't think I've had any as good, anywhere, period. It's moist, flavorful, fresh! You can tell they make it to order, and it doesn't come out of some huge vat like at other places. Cafe Zen seems to be a popular place for Chinese, but it doesn't hold a candle to this place -- Cafe Zen food was too greasy and a little strange for me. But Central Asia hits that sweet middle ground between "American" and authentic taste. My favorite is the fresh shrimp egg foo young. I didn't even know what this was till I tried it--it's kind of like a fresh shrimp (yes, you can tell they are fresh) omelette with gravy. But not the greasy salty gravy you get at Thanksgiving for your turkey. This gravy is a perfect complement to the egg foo young, and poured over white rice, it is really a revelation. I actually like how with the General Tso's, they wait till you walk through the door to get your order, then they pour the sauce over, to keep it extra crunchy for you! Anything done Hunan style is good, they're generous with the veggies. The only drawback of this place is the lack of dedicated vegetarian dishes (like eggplant, for example), so probably not the first choice for vegetarians. It will definitely be worth your while to take out from this quiet little carryout in a strip mall in Towson. It's close to the big shopping center on Putty Hill. read more

Best Chinese food in town! They serve genuine Chinese food and they do Not use MSG. They have very respectful employees and prices are affordable. food is served quick and not too greasy!! Definitely recommend them! read more

This food is not good at all and deserves no stars. I got 2 orders of shrimp and broccoli, a shrimp fried rice and 2 orders of general tso shrimp. Disgusting. I couldn't eat anything but the rice. The general tso shrimp were frozen, heavily breaded shrimp that were grey on the inside. The sauce was old and thick and made me gag when I ate a piece of broccoli. Oh and I only got 3 small pieces of broccoli in any of the meals and a bunch of the old shrimp that they're trying get rid off. This was nasty. And after spending $56 I had to post this so no one else would waste their money. read more

Order at your own risk. Tried ordering chicken chow mein. Didn't want vegetables. They got that part right - but I also didn't get any noodles, just some weird gelatinous goop with chicken in it. They were nice enough to provide a fork, but it really didn't work as what they gave me was basically soup. I did get a fortune cookie though! Only comment on that is it should've been called a misfortune cookie. read more

This is not the Central Asia that has been here for years. They've obviously been bought/sold out along with the quality of food. So sad. What I had last evening was bland. The beef fried rice seemed to be premade with a couple pieces of roast beef thrown in. I've had the same dull manufactured "Asian" food and never went back for more. I wish the original owners well. They were a part of the community for many enjoyable years, read more

There is a definite change for the worse here in the food. I saw earlier post about the place possibly being sold and I agree. Tried the egg rolls to test the place and they are not the same! No filler but cabbage very little pork, no chicken, one or two shrimp. Yuck. Egg rolls are smaller. Much! And no fortune cookies given. Only positive change is kitchen looks like it was cleaned. This was the best carry out place in Baltimore for egg rolls and Chinese for us but not anymore. RIP Central Asia. read more

Best fried rice in the Towson/parkville area. Too bad they don't deliver but shoot, get up and stop being lazy because you won't find better fried rice. read more

The new owners are really trying. The service is good. The food is good and improving. My understanding is that the previous owners have provided some guidance to the new owners hence the improvement. The previous owners had the food down to a science and it was always great! My family has frequented Central Asia for over 40 years. I miss them but after running the business so long they were due a retirement. read more

Pretty good chinese food. The general Tso's had too much meat per unit of breading, but some people like that. Not my thing though. I had some bacon shrimp with a really weird sauce too, but the fried rice was freaking awesome. I'm excited to try the hot and sour soup and some dishes other than the General Tso's, which again, had too much chicken. read more

This has got to be one of the best chinese places i've ever gotten food from, my roommates and i love this place. We always get the same order of steamed dumplings and crabmeat wontons and love it every time i highly recommend those two and i have tried a few other things on the menu and they were all good as well. I the portion sizes are pretty good too for the price, so far I haven't had a single bad thing that i've tried on their menu. read more

Horrible. Went there today for take-out. I went there with someone who is chinese. first- the place is old-- it's like walking into a scene from welcome back kotter. you cant smell food or ingredients cooking- it smells like you are walking into a clothing store- not a good sign for chinese carry out. the portions are huge and and lunch menu is economical. large portions that taste horrible. i regret going here. read more

This is has been my favorite Chinese carry out since I was a kid. The fried rice and egg rolls are amazing.

In town for business and on a suggestion from my friend, stopped in to pick up dinner. Fantastic!!! Had shrimp egg rolls and shrimp toast for appetizer, and Chow Har San (seafood dish). Everything was excellent. Too bad this establishment wasn't a restaurant Price was inexpensive and the quantity they serve you was abundant. read more
