Dry Fried Red Pepper Chicken
lisa w.

Nihao is consistently solid which is one of the many reasons to come here and get an amazing meal. We always get the dry fried red pepper chicken which is AMAZING. It is super spicy, not for the weak. This time we also tried the pan fried shrimp dumplings and the dry fried green beans. Both good and the green beans were especially flavorful. Attentive service, individual dishes come out while it is still hot instead of being held, waiting on the rest of the food. Appreciated that. The restaurant volume is moderate. You can have a conversation but also ear hustle if that's your thing. Super chill vibes every time I'm here.

Combo Lo Mein
Melinda S.

I've been wanting to try this spot for a while. I really want to go in person, but haven't been able to make it so decided to order via Grubhub. I ordered combo lo mein, pork soup dumplings, combo fried rice, and duck spring rolls. Everything was packed well and nice and hot upon arrival. Everything was very delicious. All of the items had good flavor and the portion sizes for the lo mein and rice were good. I'd like to see maybe four soup dumplings for the price, but definitely enjoyed them as well as the spring rolls. Overall, I very much enjoyed the food, as did my bf, and will make a point to go there in person very soon to try more menu items!

My boyfriend decided to try out NiHao for date night. It had been recommended to me by friends but I just never dined until this past date night. There is ample seating whether you want to be at bar, have a larger party or need something more intimate. The staff was very kind. For my entree I ordered the Hot Chili Oil Beef Stew. It was massive. Lol our waiter said that the bowl made it look larger than what it actually was and that it was manageable for one person........ that was like something you could order for the table. Or you can order individual servings of rice and finish it with at least 2 people. The flavor was amazing. The level was spice was perfect, the aromatics were present and fragrant. If you're a fan of spice and savory goodness, I highly recommend. My boyfriend ordered the Wuxi Sweet and Sour chicken. He liked it, I tried it as well. He said he would rate it an 8/10. We both agreed that if the chicken was a lil crispier it would've been even better but flavor of the sauce was nice and the chicken was juicy. His meal was definitely able to be finished by one person. He finished the whole dish while I left with a massive to go container. For drinks we shared a Sake and then I ordered the NiHao Lady, which was very tasty and he ordered a spicy margarita (I think). Either that or a mojito but he enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend and I will be coming back for their dim sum/Chinese tapas.

Update: The more I eat here the worst it gets? They only have a few standout items in our opinion. The AYCE made things taste mediocre. I wouldn't say this is the best Chinese food but it's definitely satisfying and nearby. The only items we do like here: Duck spring rolls Bamboo fish Egg drop soup Cucumber salad

We went to the all you can eat Sunday dim sum brunch and it was a delight. And also a steal for only $32. There are no servers pushing carts here - you order small plates off of a menu. Each dish is the right size for 2-3 people to have a few bites. The crystal dumplings, duck egg rolls, steamed pork dumplings, and walnut creme dessert bao were perfection. The kung pao and cucumber salad had a strong and slightly weird maple syrup flavor, but were still pretty good, and beware that the tofu skin rolls appear to be stuffed with both pork and shrimp (so not vegetarian). The food came out quickly and in whatever order it was ready. However, the some of the service was struggling. The tables are small and easily overcrowded with 3-4 small plates, but neither our waiter nor any of the 5 food runners cleared our dirty dishes away. So we stacked the plates ourselves so they could drop more dishes. It took 3 tries to get more napkins, and despite encouraging us to order food in rounds of 3-4 dishes each, it was difficult to get to our waiter to order. Overall, this was a good experience with solid food. We will be returning.

Pancake
Janie F.

Oh my god--this place is amazing! We easily found parking around the back of the building, and the staff were incredibly kind and sweet. Our waiter was super chill, and the food came out really fast. We sat on the second floor, which was pretty cool, and they also have a downstairs area and outdoor seating. Such a cute restaurant overall. Now for the food: we ordered several dishes, starting with the scallion pancake, which was excellent. The Mongolian beef was SOOO good. My sister loved the egg drop soup, but my mom and sister said they probably wouldn't order the pork and shrimp dumplings again. I got the lo mein--IT WAS AMAZING--and the portion was huge, so I split it with my sister. No wonder this place was ranked 4th best in the country in 2020. Definitely coming back!

Asparagus Snow Pea Prawn

Still loving Nihao. My friends and I always enjoy dining here. Staff are friendly and food is always so good. They started an All You Can Eat on the weekends with their dim sum and tapas. It's such a great deal and you can try so many items! I've tried the brunch a couple times now and was just back for dinner. This recent experience was great as usual. We ordered the Jianghu Spicy Fried Chicken to start. It was spicy to our palettes and there were plenty of crispy chicken. Then for our mains, we got the Hot Chili Oil Beef Stew and Asparagus Snow Pea Prawn. The beef stew was huge and full of spice with plenty of beef. I really enjoyed the milder flavor of the prawns dish. I also saved room for dessert so I could enjoy the Steamed Black Sesame Egg Yolk Bao. It's sooo delicious. I will keep coming to dine here!

Health: With a blend of traditional Chinese dishes and American fusions, this place has a decent options list to choose from to help one's diet maintain balance. If you have self control? This place is brilliant. Price: It's a decent price for the quality given, and the portions were generous. But, the price wasn't exactly a "everyday outing" level. For the quality, it was good. Experience: Now, full disclosure, there was an emergency there that might have hampered the speed of the orders. The food came quickly, and the servers were quite accommodating with the seating. Even the interior had that Chinese restaurant feel. It was nice. Taste: Now here's where this place excels. The food itself was genuinely delicious. The eggplant lightly breaded and stir fried (not exactly healthy, but delectable). The hotpot was just spicy enough to kick, but still carried through the flavor of the fish. However the standout was the Peking Duck Wraps. Cooked fresh, portioned well, and accompanied by thin flour wraps, it made the meal go from "good" to "wow". This is what real Chinese food looks like and tastes like. All in the middle of Baltimore. I'll eat here again. You should too.

I'm really disappointed with this establishment. I recently heard about their all you can eat brunch which as a rule I don't love all you can eat, but I wanted to go back to try it out as my friends were really intrigued. First of all I'm not sure what time it exactly starts because on Google it says they don't open till 1130 but on the menu it says they open at 11. Second of all you walk in and the hostess the two Gen Z girls that work there just stare at you and they're very very rude. So we sit down and the server is one that I've had in the past and he's usually OK and throughout the service they kept asking us for our menus back. It's in all you can eat, so how do you expect us to give you our menus back? They also asked if they could take our teapot which were still relatively full. I think they don't have enough menus or teapots, but that is not a patrons responsibility. Of course, with most any, all you can eat there is a seating limit, but they didn't tell you that upfront and it wasn't until we were wrapping up that they said our time was up, which honestly didn't bother me that much but they could've been way more upfront about it. In general, it was really really popular when we went, super busy, but there was an air of hostility and the service was so bad that I never want to go back here and also the food was just average. There were a couple things that were fine like the shrimp and chive dumplings but the hot & sour soup was an off color. Also, as a note, the bathrooms were extremely disgusting this time around and the overall restaurant just felt really dusty.

Tapa Osmanthus Honey Pork Ribs

Haven't been back here in 4 years and wanted to give it a redemption after hearing about the AYCE dim sum and I was quite disappointed once again.. I knew coming in this wouldn't be your traditional dim sum and would have modern twists on classic dishes, but the execution was sub par. Starting off strong were the crystal shrimp dumpling (hargow) and cucumber salad, but we found the pork ribs to be stiff/not tender, scallion pancake to be tough, lemon cello shrimp missing lemon flavor since it was only garnished with rind, soup dumplings missing soup, and sour soup that was way too dark. They also served us green tea that was so over-steeped that our waiter thought it was a different kind of tea! We also were continuously approached for our menus to be taken away when we were clearly still eating and ordering, plus it's AYCE! Definitely won't be returning.

Limoncello Tapa Limoncello Crispy Shrimp (4)

Went here for the AYCE brunch. We ordered so much and everything was delicious. Our favorites were the popcorn chicken, limoncello shrimp, bubble pancake and honey pork rib. Service was pretty good - everything came out fast and server kept coming back for more orders. Ambiance was OK - not super modern looking and there was no music and for that I'm taking a star... i like lively brunch vibes. Also soup dumplings didn't have any soup in them? But flavor was still good. But overall some of the best Chinese food in the city and will definitely return for dinner.

Scallion bubble and duck spring rolls
Zayn D.

AYCE $35 on the weekends! A great opportunity to try dim sum, side dishes, and so much more. Some dishes I recommend are the scallion bubble that comes with an amazing yellow curry sauce. I love the lo mein, pairs well with the dumplings. I recommend the pork and chive and my friends love the soup dumplings. Can be slow service when it is super busy.

Ordered takeout online. Order was ready upon arrival and was still hot after my 15 min drive home…read more - Pan Seared Chive Shrimp Dumpling: Mid. Not really flavorful but not bad. - Chinese Burger w. Pork Belly: Meat was tender. Flavor had a hint of sweetness that made this app my favorite from the order. - Green Bean w. Pickled Cabbage: Green beans were cooked perfectly, a little bit of crunch and flavor was great. - Sichuan Dan Dan Noodle: Not the best Dan Dan I've had but got the job done. Good portion size for price. - Egg Scallion Fried Rice (mild): Solid fried rice with a bit of a kick. Cooked well. Overall this was a pleasant takeout order and I would order from here again!

I've become obsessed with Peter Chang takeout ever since I realized they have several gluten free…read moreoptions on the menu. I usually stay away from Chinese food just due to the use of wheat noodles and soy sauce but having a few options that are safe and delicious is what really sets Peter Chang apart from other Chinese restaurants in the area. My favorites from the menu include: Crystal shrimp dumplings - so yummy and perfectly steamed. Comes with a sauce that might be questionable for my more sensitive gluten free foodies so proceed with caution. Absolutely delicious shrimp inside though! Scallion fried rice - comes with generous amount of egg and customized spice level. Goes great with a little extra tamari if you have some at home. Bok choy and mushrooms - omg, I think about this bok choy weekly! It's so perfectly cooked. Crunchy, full of flavor, and goes well with the mushrooms. I like mixing this into the fried rice. Singapore noodles - this was a new item for me but really yummy. Loved the thing rice noodles that had a nice chew to them and didn't fall apart. Seasoning was fresh and not overpowering at all. Comes with thinly sliced chicken and a few shrimp plus some chopped veggies. Add some of your own tamari to it for a little extra flavor! Delivery has always been prompt and dishes packaged well. I've never eaten in, as it's more of a casual takeout spot, but their food really fulfills my Chinese food cravings.

Chinese carry-out has a unique appeal to me; it is cheap. In most cases, you get what you pay for,…read morebut some places are surprisingly good. I craved some Chinese carry-out, and I had a previous experience with Peking House which proved positive. One indicator of good Chinese carry-out is how well the chicken withstands sauce, whether it is sweet and sour, General Tso's, orange chicken, etc., if it is crispy throughout, then mission accomplished. Peking House was on point. Although it was saucy, the chicken maintained its crisp texture throughout the meal. To take it a step further, I have some leftover and taste in the morning; it kept the crunch. Another indicator is the ratio of meat to veggie. A pass is 60/40 veggie, I know some people lean meat, but I like to feel good eating Chinese carry-out. The veggies need a little bite to them as well. I got the shrimp and broccoli, and Peking House met the perfect ratio, and the veggies maintained their crunch even into the next day. Dumplings, I love dumplings. But most Chinese carry-out dumplings are turds that have no taste. So I am looking for a dumpling with a flavor that will not look like I just a turd. The dumplings were flavorful and did not look like a turd. Finally, the fortune cookies, first off, fortune cookies are mandatory, but they also can't be stale. I had gone through a long streak of stale fortune cookies, and I cross my finger that I would be fortunate enough not to have a stale cookie. Peking House had the fortune cookies, and they were NOT stale. As long as Peking House serves the good stuff, I will keep coming back.

I ordered 3 chicken on a stick and fried rice Supposed to…read morebeen 29$ and some charge they tried to over charge by 2$-3$. Had to argue back and forth with the man for about 30 min tryn get my money. We quite literally calculated it up together and refused i giving my back my 2$-3$.
