I'm a fan of Choi's! This carry-out place offers seafood, sandwiches, subs, cheesesteaks, fried chicken, wings, and breakfast options. I was craving for some lake trout, so we came up here on a weekend and ordered: +a Chicken & Trout Combo - comes with 1 trout, 2 wings, and a side of western fries; really liked the trout, as it was perfectly fried and crispy; they deboned it pretty okay +a Sukiyaki sub - supposedly a 'secret menu' item, but it seemed to be so regularly requested that it's on the menu now; has a sweet teriyaki-like sauce, and comes with lettuce, tomatoes, and onions; I was curious about this, but wasn't a fan of it I loved that there's a counter with sauces, sauce cups, and utensils - no fighting or charging for extra hot sauces here! The sauce bottle that's labeled as 'New Sauce'? Don't sleep on it! This creamy, tangy, savory sauce is sooo yummy on the potato wedges! There's only a couple of tables, so most call ahead or order in-person. Service was kind and friendly! Located in a little plaza, there's ample parking. +tasty trout! +western fries! +New Sauce! +friendly service +ample parking in the lot read more

Their chicken and trout are always top notch fast and friendly service I never have been disappointed

Not a clean place to eat,need to be cleaner,and they need to weAr hair nets. They need to check and clean ice machine cause bug's are in the ice! read more

I'm allergic to beef, and I would still recommend the steak and shrimp with yagi sauce, hand delivered by the greatest chef on the east coast ;) read more

The food is good every time I go there. I get my chicken fried hard, I also get the chopped fish sub.

The first time I went there, I got lake trout upon eating it. It smelled like ammonia.. today I went and got chicken wings with fries and they both taste of garlic nothing but garlic !!!!!!!!! read more

I recently moved to Baltimore and hadn't had a chicken box. We just heard about it, and my husband told us we needed to have it for dinner that night. Luckily, Choi's was close to my husband's work. I went to go pick him up, and we headed over here on a very rainy evening. There's a large parking lot but everyone seems to park in the tow away zone. So it does get a little interesting to maneuver around everyone. Choi's had a constant stream of people coming in and out. We got a 4 wing and Western fry combo as well as a 6 wing and western fry combo. And 2 half and half's (one large, one medium) the cashier was a very polite and nice, especially to us newcomers. The food also didn't take too long to get to us. They have condiments and what not on a counter as a well. We had a somewhat longer drive home because of traffic, but man was it worth it. The wings were perfectly seasoned. The chicken itself was very juicy as well. I didn't think I could eat all of it, but I ate it all. The fries were delicious. They didn't hold their crispy-ness well after the drive, but still so good. My husband finished all of his wing and fries. And downed almost all of his large half and half. The half and half is very sweet but so satisfying with the wings/fries. Choi's is a hole in the wall kind of place. It's not in the best area, but the food is absolutely amazing. My husband is already talking about going here for lunch sometimes. read more

Choi's Chicken & Trout - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I've been going here for many years.I went in today.There was a man there watching t.V, no other customers and one cook. No customers were there. I called out to the man warching tv behind the counter while he was watching TV and said hello. He didn't answer. I said it louder. Hello, he still didn't answer. I said it very loudly. He finally turned around and answered. I said, do you still serve breakfast? He said no, it stopped at 11. I've been here for many years. I got there 11:09 You mean to tell me 9 minutes made a difference. .all I wanted was a sandwich there were No customers I do like their food very much, but I would rather go someplace that is friendly and courteous. I have been buying food from this place for many years but not anymore!! I don't know if they got new management.Or what? But I loved the people that were there there before. read more

sooooo good cheesesteak melted in my mouth, chicken wings nice and crispy but juicy inside

My wife and I were riding home from my in-laws house and were trying to figure out dinner. I made a mention of Choi's and she immediately lit up. She loves their chicken boxes and automatically decided that's where we were going. It's a chicken box spot, nothing much to expect. I think that's actually the great thing about these carry outs here in Baltimore. They don't try to give too much decor, it's just an ordering counter, menu and table with condiments. Not much, but brings great joy to many people. She got a chicken box, 4 wings and fries, #saltpepperketchup(it's a Baltimore thing) all over. I opted for a sukiyaki sub. The sukiyaki sub is like a secret menu item that is on the actual menu but never gets ordered. I mean, I've never heard someone order one. I've lived in Baltimore my entire life and never had one, my wife is from Anne Arundel County, yet she had this over me. She had a sukiyaki sub before and I didn't?! Once I found out the ingredients I was all in, ribeye steak, onions, lettuce, carrots, hots and Mayo all cooked on the grill together. Once I got it my first bite was everything. It tastes better than an actual cheesesteak. I am not lying, at that moment I decided I will not order cheesesteaks anymore lol. It's Choi's though, their food is always good and I've never had an issue. They are a staple in the Cherry Hill area and plenty people frequent the place on a daily. Get yourself there and have a sukiyaki sub, tell them Anthony sent you(they don't know me or anything but everyone says that when they recommend a place lol). read more

Maybe I should return to try the chicken because the Trout missed the mark for me. It totally missed the mark! I ordered the 2 piece trout combo with western fries and 2 slices of bread. The trout was so small. Smaller than any piece of lake trout I've ever had. It wasn't fried in cornmeal, it was fried in regular flour. Nope ... not my kind of fried fish. The western fries were soggy. My mom has been to this place before for cheesesteak subs, chicken and western fries. She loves the chicken, maybe I'll go back and try! read more

The fried whole wings are always on point. The staff is friendly and food is prepared in a timely fashion.

According to the reviews, this place is extremely popular and the food is amazing. I don't get it. I ordered a combination of lake trout and chicken with a side of western fries. Everything was very bland. In addition, the fish were bony and malnourished lol. There's no reason to return. read more

The western fries were so hot, fresh and tasty. I would go back for them alone. The lake trout was just okay to me. Service was great. I didn't get the chicken but it was definitely fresh and it looked delicious from what I could see. read more

This place is ok. I had been wanting to check it out since before the pandemic as it had been featured several times in the media. It was dark and a little dank inside, but I didn't get the impression that it was unsanitary...except for maybe the condiment bottles on the table for customers to dress their food after purchasing. I left those and used my own at home. If you are in the area and a little grit doesn't scare you, stop past. It's not a place I would go out of my way for again. The food was fine and the fish I ordered was fresh. I did order chicken for my teenage niece and thought $10 for wings and western fries was a little pricey, but with inflation, that may be normal. read more

Their food here is amazing the chicken boxes and trout are so good I eat here at least 3 times a week . Half and half is also really good and the customer service is great read more

Choi's Chicken & Trout - This is the best chicken box ever - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

DEFINITELY a hidden gem! We ordered a fried chicken sandwich, a sukiyaki, 4 honey wings, and western fries. Everything was so delish!! My only complaint would be the packaging of honey wings. The sauce leaked all over the bag and soaked thru. Luckily they double packaged the sukiyaki but my daughter's chicken sandwich bun got a little wet. We will definitely return! read more

I was running errands in the area and famished so of course I turned to yelp for a food recommendation. The shrimp steak recommended by the manager did not disappoint. The shrimp were very big and good quality with a great snap and flavor to them. The flavors were a bit onion forward, but I loved the caramelized onions. The manager was super friendly and kind. I'll definitely stop by again to try their other specialities. read more

Great location for me and quick stop in I usually call ahead it's always busy there and order the whiting western fries and half & half pretty friendly ppl too :) no sit in place read more

As a Food Network and Travel Channel junkie, I admit I am one of the yuppies that work in Baltimore who ventured down here for lunch because what in the world is 'lake trout'? Here's the low-down: Lake trout is known as Atlantic whiting in these parts. In the Great Lakes, there is actually a lake trout, but different from what you get at the Baltimore fried goodness joints. Lake trout, like fried chicken, is as authentic as it gets in the family-owned shops here in Baltimore. For those of you who felt safety was a concern, yes, everywhere you go you should definitely stay safe. As a suburban girl, I had no problems in the area. It's right across from Restaurant Depot for pete's sakes! The staff and the customers were all extremely friendly. I enjoyed the R&B playlist at the bar while I chowed down on my Chicken & Trout combo. There is no doubt this place is super popular with everyone in the "know." The restaurant was also absolutely spotless clean! The trout was so fresh and meaty - I almost felt healthier eating it. Bones were a breeze to remove. Nice flaky and perfectly cooked white fish. A dash of seasoning at the bar, and I was good to go. The wings were fried perfectly - super flavorful! Paired with their western fries and I was a happy camper. Everything comes out HOT! Just warning you! Tips: Tons of parking outside, accepts credit card. Keys for the bathroom at the register. read more

Amazing taste. Love the half n half's an pies n cheesesteak an wings an breakfast. I can go on an on. Have not been disappointed here. Great people fast service. The ambiance is top read more

Always have to visit this spot when I'm in Baltimore. Cheesesteak with lettuce, tomato, onions with extra hots. Chicken box and western fries. Bomb. read more

Chicken cheesesteak and fried hard chicken wings are my two go to when I eat here! Fast, hot and yummy!

Our family's go to spot for wings and lake trout! The chicken is always juicy. The skin is crispy and light, not oily or over battered. Lake trout is nice and meaty. The western fries are perfectly seasoned. My in-laws used to own a fried chicken and lake trout joint and are very particular about their chicken. They absolutely love this place. We always order double portions and eat the rest throughout the rest of the week. The shrimp cheese steak is a nice little gem as well. read more

This place is a legitimate diamond in the rough. Straight up like Disney's Aladdin. Hidden inconspicuously in a random shopping center is an awesome fried chicken and trout joint. As you see the locals filing in and out, you know that this is a neighborhood staple. When you first step in you get an eclectic mix of great music that is only overshadowed by a warm greeting and big smile from the owner of the fine establishment. I literally tried one of everything: Wedge fries: thick, well seasoned and hearty Wings: crispy skin and tender meat Shrimp cheese steak: yea you read it correctly, it's a legit cheese steak combined with shrimp to create a unique and flavor packed version of a classic Trout: very much like the wings with crispy exterior and a tender interior -- exercise caution and remove the spine before digging in to the madness 5000 calories later I left with a few more clogged arteries, a new friend and an awesome dining experience. read more

I was so looking forward to this place. The chicken and the trout were just ok. I guess I was expecting more spices. However, the location of Choi's was very interesting. I was definitely not in Cali or even the worst part of Oakland no more. It was definitely a working class neighborhood, but it was rough. If you grew up in the suburbs of anywhere USA, I wouldn't recommend going to this place. read more

Me and my family love chois! They know my grandma by heart and has always treated her like family! Their western fries and chicken salad are. T favorites! read more

This diamond in the rough take away/simple eat in place is an incredible find. It's unassuming but the love put into the food can be tasted. Loyal customers for years continue to frequent the family owned, Choi's Chicken & Trout. It's not super fast food but it's worth the small amount of wait time. Potatoes are cut fresh and battered/seasoned lightly for french fries. Some new items have been added for variety, like a classic chicken and waffle or a fried rice with chicken wings meal. If you really want to get adventurous....try a delicious classic cheese steak hoagie with some shrimp! I haven't had a cheese steak that good anywhere outside of Philadelphia. Take adventure part two...the new item waffle is crisp, not too sweet and not too heavy. If you're lucky, you might be able to order a bacon cheddar waffle with your chicken. Give the place a shot, service is friendly. It's pretty easy to get to, right off the highway. Place is clean. Food is yummy! If I lived in the area, I'd be a regular! read more

Stopped in for lunch take-out. Got the trout and chicken wings with the western fries and a side of collard greens. The trout was just ok, the wings were quite small and tasteless, and the fries were soggy. But the collards...they were cooked perfectly and tasted great! In short, I would not go out of my way to Choi's for lunch. read more

Everything was really great! I would definitely come again if I'm in the area. Definitely try the chicken wings or lake trout! read more

Love this place!!! Great selection of menu items prepared quickly and at low cost. Don't judge a book by its cover this is a gem in the rough. Plenty of seating, counter service and pleasant music playing in the background. Pie, watermelon and salads to go. read more

The Fried Chicken was awesome because of the light breading so one can really taste the chicken. The trout was beautiful and not overly seasoned so that one can taste and experience the fish and it's natural flavors. We also tried ShrimpSteak and was skeptical initially when I ordered but after tasting it...it was pretty amazing how the shrimp and cheesesteak flavors worked together and the layers of texture were in perfect harmony! Choi's just absolutely crushed it on the yummy scale! read more

Love this place...the food is soooo good especially the shrimp cheese steak. This is always my first stop when I come into Baltimore. Trout is fried to perfection...not greasy, outside is very crispy and inside oh so tender. The steak fries is perfect. Can't wait to come back. read more

Good chicken wings and philly subs, western fries were a bit soggy, coleslaw was good. Definitely will be back.

We've always been suspicious of "Lake Trout" when we see it on signs, and we do have to explain to confused out of town visitors when they notice it. Andrew Zimmern on the Travel Channel happened to stop at Choi's to try this exact dish simply because it is regional and strange, and since Choi's is around the corner from us we made a note to finally give it a try. To call the shopping center it is located in "unassuming" is pretty generous, but Choi's is clearly a neighborhood favorite and the staff is very friendly and competent. My wife ordered the Trout, and I have always been suspicious of this dish. I know it's not trout (at least here they don't claim they live in lakes,) and frying a fish with bones in makes it ridiculously hard to eat. However, whatever whitefish they used was fried perfectly, and the bones were not an issue at all. Maybe not the best-tasting fish, but this ain't a white tablecloth restaurant, either. I ordered the Fried Chicken, which was cooked perfectly as well. It was crispy and the chicken was moist and tender. It was also completely bland, so the local convenience store chain has no worries on that front. I noticed large dispensers of hot sauce on the counter, so maybe this is a conscious choice. They do breakfast here, and I can imagine them being very busy in the morning. I don't think I'll be ordering from them a lot, but at least when my wife gets a hankering for a piece of fried fish she has a go-to spot all lined up. read more

The lake trout here is some of the best in the Bmore area and the half and half is on point. There's a sit down area too in case you don't feel like carrying out- a nice option. Owner and staff very nice. I eat out at a lot of fried chicken and fish places around the city and this may be the best one. Safe, clean, and good. read more

Best chicken in town. Fried fish, western fries, waffles, assorted sandwiches - they got it all! You need to try the shrimp cheesesteak!! Delicious Destinations did an episode here!! read more

Who knew?!!! I was PLEASANTLY PLEASED! I was looking for a chicken cheese steak. This place DID NOT disappoint. Their fried chicken and potato salad were good, too. I got that for dinner. Trying to get it in before New Years. Thank you, YELP community, for pointing me to this place. Clean and friendly (don't judge this place by the immediate surroundings). I would have never found this place, otherwise. I went back to try their breakfast over the weekend but unfortunately the family suffered a loss (and the restaurant was closed so that the family could properly grieve). R.I.P. Mr. Choi (never met him, but can tell that he was loved). read more
