    Burmese Pea Soup
    Jack D.

    First and foremost. Service is superb. From the heart and shows everyone cares. You're not here for ambiance. This isn't date night material. As a self-proclaimed connoisseur of Thai and Viet cuisine, I was eager to try this new twist. Not exactly in the neighborhood, but worth the hike. The pea soup is vegan and has an indescribable taste. A great one. The ginger salad is crispy and marvelous. Will get it again and again. My Lord is it good. Beef in red curry. Hmmm! A stew in a thick hearty sauce. Neither Indian nor Thai. It's a unique dish and very good. The rice noodles with tofu was also good. Nothing extraordinary. All in all, definitely coming back. Many more dishes to try out. A whole new cuisine to explore. A lovely place with lovely people.

    Appetizer Platter
    Kat J.

    Great gem for our weekend in Lancaster. The food was delicious and the service extremely friendly. We tried the appetizer platter to sample a variety of fried food, my favorite was the fried gourd. The batter was so light and fluffy instead of doughy. Rare to see in a deep fried dish. My absolute favorite dish was the beef salad. Perfectly seasoned and refreshing for a hot summer night. The two noodle dishes were also excellent. The owner came by to say hi at the end of the meal. He was super friendly and personable. His daughter and grandson also worked there. It's such a great family business. Highly recommend!!

    Beef Burmese Curry
    Eric B.

    Very nice dinner of a tender Beef Curry dish and a fried banana desert. A perfect bowl for a cool Fall night. The dessert was a lovely ending. Owner is super nice and friendly. It looks like the sushi and Thai dishes are good. Yet, I am always eating Burmese at a Burmese restaurant. Apparently, the owner made sushi for Wegman's for 25 years, so it is decent. My buddy liked it. All of the dishes were delicious.

    Service staff was very friendly and helpful. Ambience isn't fancy but clean. Food was delicious.

    This is to go food- Keh sa Keh with shrimp and the famous coconut soup with mango smoothie.
    Doug B.

    Amazing food, excellent service and staff, and very clean place. You must try this place! All the food is delicious, and they have Thai, Sushi, and Burmese! I got Keh Se kehy with shrimp heat level 5 with coconut soup at heat level 5 also. The flat noodles are melt in your mouth and the tamarind spice is so savory, you crave it! The coconut soup is creamy and rich and so delicious. Mango smoothie is a great combination too. It's like pure mango and perfectly sweet. Try it, you'll like it! Ask for Wen the owner and tell him Doug sent you.

    My son and I have been going to Eastern Palace since I they opened. This review is overdue. We have always enjoyed their food and service. The owner is always checking on the guests to make sure everything went well. I noticed on my last visit some new renovations that added some nice new booths. Will back like always.

    Tea Leaf Salad
    Jack M.

    I ordered the Beef Curry and Tea Leaf Salad. The curry sauce was too watery and weak. It lacked slick mouth feel and aromatic complexity. The beef was dry and stringy from overcooking. The Tea Leaf salad I think was good for what it was. Its a flavor unfamiliar to my palate. Initially this dish had an ammonia acrid smell to it, likely because ammonia can build up when fermented items are sealed. This smell does dissipate after 15 minutes. Side note: this is why you should always let cheeses sit unsealed for 15-20 mins before serving. Overall, this place is probably highly rated for their sushi, which I did not get.

    Fantastic Thai food here, some of the best I've ever had. And definitely try their Burmese dishes, so incredibly good. 10/10, highly recommend. I'll be back and we will become a regular here!

    Tom Yum Seafood Soup
    Bryan G.

    So on our last night in Lancaster we craved for Asian food and the closest ang high-rated we found in yelp is the Eastern Palace. My wife called them first and asked if they have dine-in available and they responded they are open for dine-in. Its a quick 5 minute drive from our hotel and when we got here to be honest nothing really fancy from its exterior look. Inside nothing fancy too but I find it a bit spacious than I expected. We sat down on a spot by the window and we were greeted by a man (probably owner) and he is friendly. He even greeted my 2 year old son in my native language and then we have a bit of chat. We are familiar with the dishes and know what to get so we dont have to ask him about what or how the dish is prepared. It took awhile before the food was served because I believe the amount of customers had gradually increased (dinner time) since we've arrived and a lot of order are getting thru the phone. Pad Thai was served first and wow how we like it a lot. Then after that came the Tom Yum soup and Burmese Chicken Curry. The soup was okay and probably its not the sane as the one tried in another asian dining place. Honestly, I am not sure what does an authentic Tom Yum taste like. A friend told me that it is like the "Sinigang" (Filipino) version. The Burmese curry I liked it and it is my first time to have it. It has its own twist of chicken curry. The egg rolls and Boba tea are good and I can tell it from the way my daughter is enjoying it. Usually when food is not up to her palate's standard she will tell me. For the dessert we had the fried banana with vanilla ice cream and its okay but not great for I find the fried banana lacking sweetness althought the preparation I must say is good. Overall, if you are in Lancaster and looking for asian food do consider this place.

    Joe V.

    This place has good food, the people who own it are very nice but unfortunately I cannot return. Let me explain. This place does a huge take out/grub hub/door dash type business. That is all great, except the owner has the phone on the loudest ring possible and I am NOT exaggerating when I tell you that when someone was not on the phone talking, the phone was ringing. So basically imagine dining and having to listen to a phone ringing every 2 minutes for 90 minutes. Can't do that again sorry.

We dropped in early on a Sunday to check the place out. We make a point of trying every Burmese restaurant in the MD/VA/PA area, so when this popped up on Google, we had to go. Since it was early, the full menu wasn't available, but we were able to order the Mon Hin Khar (Mohinga (fish soup)) and Gyin Thoke (ginger salad). Portions were generous, broth for the Mohinga tasted clean and traditional, a good amount of fish included. It was on par with the other restaurants we have tried. (Mohinga is one of the traditional dishes of Burma, and as such, people often have their own flavor/variation that they prefer, so we judge it based on what other places in the area might serve). The ginger salad was fresh and delicious. The ingredients were packaged separately in the container. (If you've never had ginger salad before, this might be a bit confusing. Recommend mixing all the ingredients together and letting it sit for a few minutes before eating so the flavors from the oil, ginger, and lime have a chance to meld). All and all, this was a good experience, we met the owner (who is also the chef) and because we had to wait a bit, he gave us some freebies, which he didn't have to do at all (we were fine with the wait). Next time we want to try the other salad and some of the fried rice dishes. Now that we are more familiar with the restaurant and location, we would probably also order ahead online to bypass any waiting. Hope this place will be able to expand in terms of hours and some more traditional Burmese dishes soon.

Everything about this place exceeded our expectations. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, clean, and thoughtfully designed. It feels upscale without being stuffy, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting from the moment you walk in. We started with the crab rangoons and then ordered five sushi rolls: the Creamy & Crispy Roll, Crunchy Crab Roll, Black Dragon Roll, Hawaii Roll, and the Volcano Roll with spicy tuna. Every single roll was fantastic. Not "some were better than others" fantastic. Not "we found a favorite and tolerated the rest" fantastic. We genuinely loved every roll that came to the table. The Volcano Roll with spicy tuna was my personal favorite and an easy 10/10, but honestly there wasn't a single thing we ordered that we wouldn't get again. The presentation deserves its own mention. The rolls were beautifully plated, complete with gorgeous edible flowers and thoughtful garnishes that made everything look almost too pretty to eat. Service was excellent. The food came out surprisingly quickly, but not all at once. Instead, the rolls arrived in small groups, which actually made the experience even better because we could enjoy each one before the next arrived. For two people, five specialty rolls and crab rangoons came to about $80, which is completely reasonable and honestly pretty standard for quality sushi. We will absolutely be back, and we've already started recommending Hills to Sea to friends and family. If you're a sushi lover in Lancaster County, put this place on your list immediately.

If there was a 3.5 star option, I feel like that would be the most accurate representation here. The place itself is located on the wall of the Lotte in Catonsville and it looks like a small family-run establishment. Service was kind, but admittedly a bit of a language barrier which may have affected some of the ordering process. In total, we ordered the tea leaf salad, a curry dish, seafood noodles, and the asian doughnuts. While I was hoping for fresh, vibrant dishes, my expectations fell a bit short where some of the proteins felt a bit tough and other ingredients felt a bit soggy. The flavor profile was good (one of those places where spicy means spicy), but it did lean a bit on the seafoody/fishy side. I still think it warrants checking out because it's not often that there's Burmese cuisine available.

I asked the waiter to tell me more about the restaurant and the menu, but rather than offering any additional explanation or recommendations, he essentially read the menu flyer to me. I found this unhelpful and somewhat dismissive. After my meal, I completed the receipt and was preparing to leave. Before I had gotten up from the table, the bartender approached to collect the receipt and asked me to physically move so they could retrieve it. I found the interaction unnecessarily aggressive and uncomfortable. After taking the receipt, they did not speak to me or clear the table while I was still there. Despite the experience, I left a 20% tip. The host, however, was warm and welcoming when I left, so my impression is that the quality of service may vary depending on who you interact with. More generally, I would expect staff to allow guests to finish their visit before insisting on collecting a completed bill and receipt. As a person of color, the interactions I experienced also left me questioning whether I would feel comfortable returning on my own. I would hope the restaurant takes feedback like this seriously, because the food and menu concept are interesting, but the service experience could be improved.

The community of shops and restaurants here were fun to explore, but I wouldn't say this restaurant is a place tourists need to visit. They open at 11:00am and when we arrived at ~11:10am, we were the first customers there. The interior is a bit dim but sunlight from their narrow storefront helped illuminate the place. It smelled a bit musky inside too but not intolerable. I ordered the N11 and my friend ordered the N1. We shared an order of chicken satay. The chicken satay was underwhelming especially given how they market it as their top item. The meat was tender but not as tender and juicy as I was hoping. The satay sauce was sweet and peanut forward (not like peanut butter) which was nice but I was hoping for more umami. I ended up enjoying the cucumbers at the bottom of this dish more than the actual meat and sauce. I got N11 because I like eating laksa, but I also found the dish disappointing. It's alright but again not worth the hype it gets from others. It wasn't spicy at all, like maybe 1.5/10. The broth was mostly creamy salty flavor rather than full of spices. I know it doesn't have seafood explicitly in it, but the fish cakes and fish balls would do well with meatier broth. The fish ball and fish cakes weren't bouncy and tasted quite fishy. The tofu pieces weren't fresh but not spoiled to a point I needed to call it out. Maybe the only thing I liked was the texture of the noodles. My friend's N1 tasted more like a soy sauce based sauce. I didn't like that sauce nor the texture of her noodles, so I was glad to stick with mine. She preferred her's more too. She said the more she ate, the milddddd heat in her sauce accumulated and made it too spicy for her to finish the last bite. I didn't taste any heat when I tried a bite, but maybe it was too small. This restaurant also charges a surcharge for credit cards, so we paid by cash.
