    Steamed Vegetable Dumplings (3)
    Sarah S.

    my partner and i came here for AYCE brunch. there is a 90 min limit and it's 32 dollars pp, which is not bad at all. the rate limiting step is definitely the service and table space. if it was automated or there were larger tables you could definitely eat more (but probably better to order multiple smaller rounds). our server was handling a lot of tables but was very efficient and checked on us when appropriate. he also made sure our water never went dry. buckle up, because we put away 20 plates: steamed veggie dumplings: flavorful filling, chili crunch drizzle was quite spicy. i wish it came with a dipping sauce. kung pao chicken: good flavor, could've been more chicken in the ratio to veggies. not spicy duck spring rolls: tasted good, especially with the sauce drizzled on top, but quite oily taiwanese popcorn chicken: definitely the best savory bite we had. super well seasoned and crunchy braised pork belly: very flavorful, tender, good sauce pairing. one of the best things spare ribs: hard to eat as they are bone in. same sauce as pork belly but not as good of a pairing. overcooked mongolian beef: very good, tender green beans with pickled cabbage: much needed green in the sea of meat. flavor was really nice braised tofu with mushrooms: ok. the tofu texture wasn't my favorite, and the sauce definitely had fish or oyster sauce in it although it's labeled vegan scallion bubble pancake: people say this is a must order, but i thought it was quite bland. the sauce didn't really taste like anything. good vessel for meats veggie lo mein: good reprieve from the protein heavy options. decent taste szechuan popcorn chicken: honestly skip this, i couldn't taste the szechuan peppercorn or spice. slightly greasier than i would like. just get the taiwanese popcorn chicken instead cucumber salad: the sauce was quite sweet but very refreshing sesame ball: not much taste, but very nice texture. we got 3 of these creamy walnut bao: not too sweet, nutty filling, soft bao outside. very yummy, we got 4 of these overall we did some DAMAGE. i would absolutely come back here to try more of the AYCE menu but i will need 5-7 business days of recovery time.

    The location is quaint with levels of seating. I made a reservation to celebrate a birthday and was promoting seated upon arrival. The waiter was patient and happy to recommend some popular dishes. We decided to try a few small plates to develop a sampler of the menu. I didn't get a picture of the house fried rice or the white rice that accompanied the meal but they were perfectly cooked. I can tell you my fish bowl drink was tasty. You can keep the duck that floats on top, which is a cute memory from a incredible meal. The rib tips were tender and flavored with soy with a bit of sweetness. The BAO bun houses the tender pork belly and the cucumber added a cool bite. The limoncello shrimp, please do yourself a favor and order two servings to begin with. They are too good to share. It is not often that I plan my next trip the day after I experience a restaurant but trust and believe Im going to find a reason to journey back to Nihao this summer.

    Scallion bubble and duck spring rolls

    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.

    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!

    The AYCE dim sum on the weekends is the perfect group lunch for only $32pp. The service is as attentive. The AYCE we did starts at 11 and ends at 3 Fri-Sunday. The food was delicious. this place was so delicious. Each thing we got was very flavorful. My personal favorites were the scallion pancakes and the limoncello crispy shrimp. The fried rice with the Mongolian beef was such a good combo. This is the perfect place to go with a hungry appetite and a bunch of friends. You'll be able to try a bunch of their food items that way especially with the tapa style. I recommend this place. Would love to try their regular dinner menu as well

    Signature Pork Soup Dumplings (3)

    My friends and I came here on a whim and let me just say the food was great. We went for the AYCE brunch for $32 per person and we all walked away so full and happy. My favorites were the Limoncello shrimp and the pork and shrimp wontons, but honestly try everything if possible. The service was pretty good, we were able to always find someone to help clear off our table when necessary, and it's cute on the inside with a bunch of flowers decorating the place. Safe to say I'll be back with stretchier pants.

    Dry Fried Red Pepper Chicken

    I got carry out so I can't say much about the service or ambiance but that's not important when the food is excellent. We went for the first Signature dish - the Dry Fried Red Pepper Chicken. EXCELLENT. It's very spicy and super flavorful. It comes with a decent amount of chicken, to be expected for a $19 chicken dish. Tip: None of the dishes comes with rice, which is $1 additional and must be ordered separately. We also got the fried rice with shrimp and chicken and it was also very good. Based on these two dishes, I will definitely be back to explore more of the menu. Street parking can be tough in this part of time so be prepared to have to search for parking.

    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.

    Egg & Scallion Fried Rice
    Jenny L.

    Had a craving for Chinese food after being in the city for a couple of days. The service was wonderful. In terms of the food: 1. Green beans 6/10 - too salty 2. Scallion and egg fried rice 10/10 - taste very homemade 3. Honey ribs 7/10 - tender but boring taste didn't want to keep eating it 4. Salt pepper fried shrimp 7/10 - mid at best, had better, missing jalapeños 5. Hot chili wonton 8/10 - great flavor, some part of the wrapper was dry 6. Soup dumpling 7/10 - low portion but good taste. Usually other Chinese restaurant give 4-5 but they only gave 3. 7. Pork braised bun 9/10 - great flavor, tender pork 8. Cucumber salad 0/10 - absolutely disgusting, too much vinegar. I couldn't even eat it. Very inedible.

    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.
