    Beef with Broccoli
    Sharonda M.

    as a DC native I was absolutely shocked to find a carryout outside my hometown that has the same quality of Chinese food. Hunan Joy did not disappoint. Ordered my normal thing praying it would taste the same as other places and it impressed me more than expected

    About 1/3 of small shrimp fried rice and egg roll
    Melody M.

    This spot has become my fave for Chinese food. I travel across town to eat here. Th woman at the counter is alwaysssss nice and pleasant. I even see him taking food out to cars sometimes. The food is really tasty. Eggs rolls too. I don't veer too far from shrimp fried rice and shrimp egg rolls . Just the right tinch of grease ...

    This is the first Chinese spot I've found in Baltimore county that makes the egg foo young like they do in the city. The Yat Gaw Mein isn't that Baltimore dirty Yat! but it's serviceable. My wife and I ordered from here twice in one week and we were not disappointed. This will be our go to for Chinese food in the county. The egg foo young gravy is really so fire. And they give you 3 egg pancakes so you will definitely be full afterward. I just wish the Yat Gaw Mein had a thicker sauce and the flavor profile comes up more. It's not nasty just not dirty Yat. The service is great, the young man I've encountered each time behind the counter is calm and friendly, he even brought my food out to my car as I waited. Give them a try if you're in Catonsville.

    Lo mein chicken
    Quin B.

    Really good Chinese food! Take out only. Reasonable prices and fast. Two sizes large and small. I ordered large for everything. There is a small parking lot out in the front so you can park and pick up your food. They have all the traditional food. I liked the moo shoo vegetable, kung pao chicken, lo mein noodle with chicken (has bean sprout and celery), and the hot and sour soup I did not like general Tso tofu. I imagine it would be the same orange glaze for general tso's chicken. This is a personal preference as I don't like anything sweet. The glaze reminds me of the common Americanized orange chicken dish. So if that's what you're looking for the general tso's sauce is for you. I liked 4 out the 5 dishes that I ordered. I'm so glad I found this place. It's exactly what I'm looking for from a Chinese restaurant. I docked a star bc they didn't have common dishes like eggplant dish or bok choy/ong choy in garlic sauce and thick flat rice noodle stir fry. That being said what they had was pretty delicious. I'm definitely going to be a regular.

    They seem really optimistic about how much we're willing to spend so we don't have to drive there.

    Website says they do delivery, but clearly that's just so they can get your hopes up! Either this is a very amusing error, or it's scummy marketing. I'm leaning towards amusing error, somebody probably forgot to fill in a box somewhere. Edit: Turns out it was just an error after all! Just put in a delivery and looking forward to the results, thank you for the response!

    Triple Delight

    Got carry out here for lunch. Just wanted to try a new place. Was pleased with the product and flavors. Very nice local place. Friendly and easy pickup. The triple delight with fried rice and egg rolls. Each hot and fresh. Totally enjoy a few more dishes from here.

    Hot damn, this place is amazing! Usually lots of people do the Japanese grill, which is very…read moresimilar to Korean BBQ grilling where it's communal. But since it was just me, I opted for seating at the bar. There are 2 bars at this location--one at the drink bar and one at the sushi bar. The drinks are VERY good, and the bartenders are very receptive to your orders and all. Ambiance was good--not too dark, just right. Very chic. I ordered a LOT. Several pieces of sushi, chicken karage (which I saw people post pics of, and that's what convinced me to check it out.), Japanese curry, and some other sashimi and little burgers. They were all fantastic! The chicken karage was the big hit--so delicious you can taste it thru the pictures. The curry wasn't spicy at all, but seeing as it's Japanese style, it's more on the savory and tasty side, not on the spicy side. Overall very delicious. The wagyu sashimi was VERY long (that's what she said), so eating one piece whole isn't recommended. Chew it, then swallow. The mini burgers were everything you love about Japanese takes on purpose burgers. Done perfectly, with that amazing bbq grill taste, too. The sushi was fresh and tasted amazing. My only gripe is that their ordering system is odd; you can only order so many pieces of food per order number. There are order limits, but it's setup such that the kitchen doesn't get overwhelmed. That being said, your orders usually come out pretty quickly. I highly recommend this place!

    Ate here about a month ago and had a nice time. We got the ~$50 package, which was great value…read more Highly recommend the fries--they genuinely taste like McDonald's! The service was fine, and they changed our grill proactively. Just a heads-up: since the drinks are served in stainless steel cups, the staff can't see if you're running low on water. You'll just need to flag them down if you want a refill The atmosphere was really nice too

    STAY AWAY. Absolutely horrible service!!!…read more Our server, Nye, was incredibly rude & the whole AYCE experience felt like a complete rip-off. He repeatedly gave our orders to other tables & when we complained and tried to order more food, he told us we COULDN'T order anything else until our missing orders arrived. Except THEY NEVER CAME!!! After waiting 20+ minutes, we complained again and Nye gave us such a rude and condescending tone and response: "We have other customers too ya know." Seriously?! WE'RE CUSTOMERS TOO, ya douche bag. It got so ridiculous that 38 MINUTES into our meal, our table of FOUR had received a grand total of TWO plates of meat - even those were the plates we had to take from the neighboring table because our food kept getting sent elsewhere. And here's the kicker: AYCE is only 90 MINUTES. More than 1/3 of our allotted dining time was basically wasted waiting for food that never came, while our server wouldn't even let us order more. We only FINALLY started receiving our meat after we complained to the Vietnamese manager. He immediately stepped in, got things moving & extended our dining time to make up for the ridiculous delay. Shout out to him!!! But having to escalate to a manager just to receive the food we were PAYING FOR is absurd. And maybe Nye felt like he didn't have to bother because the gratuity was already automatic due to our party size. That would certainly explain the complete lack of effort. When your tip is guaranteed regardless of how badly you treat the table, I guess actually serving your customers becomes optional? STAY AWAY or at the very least, pray you don't get Nye as your server.
