Gorgeous place. Nice ambiance. Server was lovely. We were told that we should order everything at once and the food came too quickly. We were done in 30 minutes. The dim sum were good, The Szechuan chicken was not a good dish (unflavorful fried chicken). The noodles were fine but salty. And not better than any other place. The drinks are good. I would come back for drinks and dim sum. Gorgeous place, again. read more

My food was pretty good. I had the crab Rangoon and the whole fried fish. They gave me minimal sauce for a WHOLE rock fish. I asked for more go charged without being told. Ridiculous. My friends food was meh. Also they charge a facilities fees. No where but the check was mentioned. For a high class establishment, and I've eaten at place higher than this, I'm disappointed in the sneakiness of them. Atlas's do better. You missed the mark so hard. read more

10/10 Went for a girlie date with my Bestie, yesterday and ate upstairs at the bar! Everything we ordered was delicious. Our bartender, Adam was extremely kind and all his recommendations were perfect! We plan to go back with our hubbies today or tomorrow! read more

Server knowledgable about menu and recommended good dishes. He did spill our drinks to the table though and left it wet until I had to ask if he could atleast wipe it down. Wanted to sit in a place cool and outdoors. So they sat us their "green room", a bit hot though, could have had a fan or more air come through. read more

Excellent service. Atmosphere was on par with other Atlas restaurants, i.e. very tasteful. Now the bad news: Cocktail menu had fun titles, but were hit or miss. Dumplings and Szechwan chicken were well executed, but it was an overall "gringo" interpretation of my favorite dishes from any good authentic Chinese spot. Everything was waaaay too salty and the pacing of our courses was rushed. Save your money and try any number of great authentic Chinese places in Baltimore like NiHao, Kung Fu 12 Szechwan, Red Pepper Bistro or all the good spots in Elliot City. I would give it 4 stars, but given that we paid "Atlas prices," it unfortunately gets 3 stars. read more

Half duck was good (could have had more thinly sliced scallions), Mongolian beef, chow fun noodles (too salty in flavor), cucumber salad (I think 8 thin slices of cucumber for $7!)...so not recommended at all. Wedge salad and seafood fried rice was good too but portions were small. We were offered a birthday dessert with no utensils! Had to flag down another employee for spoons. There were many employees there but service was lacking professionalism. For the upscale ambience, the employee uniforms were t- shirts and jeans....Atmosphere was decent with nice interior, but music too loud to hold conversations across the table. Yeah... would not go back! read more

Food was amazing! I especially liked the appetizers.. the crispy shrimp ball is not to be missed! read more

Wow it's trend the expensive Chinese food with no rice... order separately. We did. The rice was white and stuck together and the best part ( sadly) of meal. The other trend is the chef cannot apparently season food without the generous use of MSG. Nothing is made to order , all sauces are prepared with msg. The Singapore noodles, the chicken, even the Singapore salad filled with msg. The food AWFUL. No tap water served so forced to order bottled waters. The ambiance at 5:30pm is LOUD. It's popular and don't know why. We would not go back ever. Save your money. read more

The service was standard, but overall the experience was underwhelming. We had a party of six, and four of us ended up returning our entrées. The "fried rice" dish, while flavorful, was actually made with steamed rice--not fried--completely changing the expectation of what was ordered versus what was served. We had a reservation, and when we arrived, the restaurant was only about 20% full. Initially, we were seated in the main dining area, but the brown party was quickly moved to a separate room off the main floor. We were told this back room would better suit our us, which felt unnecessary and a bit odd given how empty the restaurant was. read more

Amazing ambiance and great selection of unique foods to choose. I cafe their mushroom eggrolls!!!! Service is delightful! read more

I really love the food at this place, but the hosts are consistently immature and rude. They stare at you like you're bothering them, and as the first faces you see when you walk in, it immediately throws off the experience. Even another guest who walked in after me commented on it and said, "young people are ridiculous." And I'm young myself, so I know there's no excuse for that kind of attitude. A simple, friendly greeting goes a long way, and the lack of basic courtesy at the host stand makes the visit less enjoyable. read more

The space is very nice, the out door terrace was perfect for lunch this afternoon. The ambiance was spot on. That's something they got right! However, The food was just ok. I've had a better version of every single dish we ordered, else where. But, the deserts were spectacular! We got one of each and shared everything at our large table. I think the mango tapioca pudding and the strawberry cloud cake were my absolute favorites! They nailed it on the dessert. I would definitely come by and check it out again for dinner. read more

This place is amazing!! And BEAUTIFULLY put together. Vibes were very grown, sexy and sophisticated! During our first visit, due to dietary restrictions, the menu options were a bit limited, but we still enjoyed every bite. The cream corn and crab soup, shrimp har gow, and shrimp & abalone shumai were all excellent. And let me tell you--the crab rangoon was the best I've ever had! The drinks (both the signature cocktails and custom orders) were equally impressive. My only issue was the menu labeling . As a pescatarian, I was shocked to discover that the seafood fried rice contained pork. It would really help if the menu clearly identified dishes that include other meats. Other than that -- 10s across the board! ATLAS, please update those menus to better inform your guests, and keep up the amazing food, drinks, and service! read more

We had an 8:00 pm reservation and arrived right on time, only to be told the restaurant was "behind on reservations." The hostess couldn't provide an estimated wait time, just said she wasn't sure, and suggested we check other nearby restaurants to see if we could sit at their bars while we waited. Their own bar was completely packed, so that wasn't an option either. The poor hostess was left to face a line of annoyed customers with no visible manager stepping in to help or communicate. Not once did anyone offer us a drink or make any gesture to acknowledge the inconvenience. Why even take reservations if you can't honor them? We were told the delay was because "the rain threw them off," which doesn't feel like an acceptable excuse for a restaurant of this caliber. Very disappointing first impression, especially from the Atlas Restaurant Group, which has built such a strong reputation across Maryland. I expected better organization and customer care. read more

I visited Nine Tails Fox on 1/20. I visited during happy hour time the front desk was warm and told me to choose between downstairs or upstairs. I headed upstairs to wait for my friend who was joining me. I sat at the half empty bar for 5 minutes before I decided to see how far away my friend was from my location it stated she was 7 minutes away from me. I took the bartender the full 12 minutes to greet me and bring me a menu before returning to attend the couple he spent most of the time at the bar chatting with. When the bartender finally came back I order a glass of red wine he didn't mention his name. A few moments later my friend after looking for parking came in. It took another 10 minutes for him to come back around to greet her. In the bar it's shaped like a square I'm sitting in one corner of the square and in each corner is a couple. It's two bartenders one male one female. My bartender Justin spent most of his time with an elderly white couple in the counter near the back. He circle back to me and my friend and ask her if she needed anything she opted for water. My wine was barely touch bc it was disgusting he didn't ask me if I was enjoying it or not. We proceeded to order food my friend had a couple questions about the menu and it seemed like we were getting on his nerves. He was very short with us and impatient. He made a weird comment to my friend saying it would be similar to her local carry out Chinese food when she was asking was it similar to a sit down Chinese restaurant. We received our food my friend got a wonton soup but did not get a soup by the time we could flag him down her soup was cold. We had to ask the girl bartender to refill our water and to close out because Justin couldn't handle his 2-3 parties of people. A white gentleman sat at the bar he had Justin immediate attention and service. The elderly white couple that was sitting before I came in got Checked on multiple time. I should have known better since this is an Atlas Restaurant that I a black woman and my friend also being a black woman would not receive adequate service. It's a shame I received better service for my birthday and it was quite crowded in August vice the 10 people tops. However it might just be Justin he is not a people person and did not provide good service. read more

My girlfriend brought me here for my birthday. It was my first time at this restaurant so i was unsure of how i would like the food. Adam was our server and he was amazing! He gave us great recommendations like the singapore noodles or the chow mein. Hes also a bartender and he made us the best old fashioned i've had and an amazing martini. If Adam is your waiter just know you're in good hands. 10/10 would recommend to even my worstest enemy read more

I went on opening night and I must say the decor and ambiance is aesthetically pleasing. I got there for my reservation at 7pm was seated promptly, waited on promptly however we ordered at 7:10 the food did not come out until 8:15, the first entree came which was the general tso chicken, then the rice about 10mins later.. the chicken was so tender and very flavorful. I wish the rice would've came out at the same time. Then the sweet and sour chicken came as we were finishing up, so we took it to go. We also ordered the crab and sweet corn soup it never came. I was highly disappointed because I really wanted to try it. The wait time exceeded the expectations. So we paid and left. Also the machine was down so I was not able to collect my Atlas Rewards. Everett our waiter was very attentive considering. It was crowded but not overly crowded for the extensive wait time and us not receiving items. I am going to give a pass because it was opening night and I put that into consideration. I am a lover of Atlas so I will be trying this restaurant again maybe in another month or so. The menu is very broad and there are so many more dishes I want to try. read more

Nine Tailed Fox - Still Water - Chinese Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

See all

Nine tailed fox is beautiful, but pretty disappointing in terms of food. Everything was good, but not great compared to authentic chinese restaurants I've tried in the area. The food is nowhere near as good as other Atlas restaurants like Monarque and Azumi. Flavors were super underwhelming, especially the shu mai. I was surprised not to see more pork on the menu given that it is a staple in Chinese cuisine. Service was just okay. Our server didnt check in to see how the food was. read more

See all

Food is very good, but don't expect huge portions, though everything I had was good. There's something on the menu for all. Service is excellent!!!!! Ambiance is superb all the way through. I went for lunch and I most likely will be back. I love the drink names on the drink menu. read more

Great drinks and food! I got the dumplings and a tea. Ambience feels very cool, and their happy hour is very reasonably priced.

The interior is really nice, unfortunately like Azumi, the food is mediocre and overpriced for what it is.

We were very excited to dine here for the first time to celebrate our son's birthday which was noted in the reservation. Upon arriving at 8:15 for our 8:30 reservation, the host/manager did not greet us warmly at all and basically told us to "go sit over there" until it's closer to your reservation time. A welcome to our restaurant, we are so glad you are joining us, perhaps you'd like to sit at the bar and have a drink while your table is being prepared may have been a nicer greeting. Our waitress was a sweet young lady who tried hard but you could tell she has little experience for waitressing at a nicer restaurant. Silverware should be offered when appetizers arrive if you don't want to use chopsticks. When filling up water for four guests at the table, don't just fill one glass and walk away but do all of them. Offer new side plates in between courses. Wipe the table prior to bringing dessert. Also for a restaurant open for about 6 weeks now - your bathrooms on a Saturday night are a hot mess. Toilet paper all over the floors, mirrors not clean...you spent so much money on decor that you should have staff that also notes if bathrooms are neat for customers. Think about upscale NYC restaurants and how their bathrooms always reflect on the restaurant. Let's not forget to mention the surprise "facilities fee" that our waitress wasn't able to properly explain to us other than saying the money goes back to Cross Keys???!!! And charging $4 for a small bowl of white rice that basically should come as a side to your main dish like at other Chinese restaurants is a bit over the top. Perhaps find a way to "hide this cost" so diners would not be so annoyed. One final thing to note...the reservation note that it was my son's birthday we were celebrating never made it to our waitress. I guess it's also my fault that I didn't remind her but most upscale restaurants inform this to the server when bringing guests to the table. read more

Solicitous staff. Solid food--not exactly authentic or wide-ranging with regard to Chinese cuisine, but flavorful and consistently hearty. The ambiance of the restaurant is visually appealing and inviting, but the loud noise level with incessant, monotonous, beating background music might induce a migraine to those sensitive to sound. Conversation can be difficult when the space is busy. read more

Food was decent but some overall problems that will keep me from returning. Arrived at 4:45 without a reservation. Restaurant was empty but told we could only sit at the bar because tables were reserved. Left at 5:45, restaurant was 75 percent empty. Portions were small relative to prices. There was a 3 percent "facility fee" that was not mentioned nor did I see it on the menu. Poor form. read more

Fantastic food and service!Loved the wonton soup and shrimp spring rolls.Cant edit to go back soon!

The food was so good and the happy hour deal is awesome! The ambiance is also 10/10! Highly recommend the chili wontons! read more

Nine Tailed Fox - Soup dumplings - Chinese Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Beautiful ambiance and aesthetics. However food was overpriced American Chinese food you could get from Panda Express. Dinner also comes with 3% facility fee surcharge that was unexpected. read more

Food good, lots of staff. Dinner Parking difficult. Every check gets a 3% facilities charge which you learn about by reading the very small print on the menu. And there are little hidden charges that you don't know about till you get- like $1.50 for Chinese mustard. I'm sure they'll work at the kinks. They just haven't done it yet. read more

I hate to be a person to write a poor review. My intentions of this review is to simply help the restaurant to improve in many areas as it is located right next to a pretty "posh" shopping center. The service was not great. We were missing a drink that we ordered and we were also given drinks that we didn't ordered but they thought could be good substitutions. We would have preferred to have been asked if we would like something else. Also, It took longer to get our drinks than it did the food. The drinks were not alcoholic either. Just simple requests for soda, lemonade, and tea. There has been a hype around the restaurant but there have already been reviews that have mentioned the food quality and taste. We ordered wonton soup and crab and sweet corn soup. Both were lukewarm to almost cool when they came out. Additionally, I had a hair in my soup. We noticed this about halfway through our meal since the soups did not come out first. There is no "order" to the food service as in the way the food is served, which feels odd and confusing. The spring rolls and mushroom dumpling were probably the best we had as terms of flavor, etc. We ordered the Peking duck and there was so much fat on the duck it was chewy and very off putting. It was not good. We were so disappointed. We also ordered the Chicken Bao (soup dumplings). A few of them felt mushy and like the dough was undercooked. They were also broken open so there wasn't any "soup" to go on your spoon. The chow mein was underwhelming in flavor and also had a hair and a random piece of squid or some seafood in it? It didn't mention that in the ingredient list so it somehow got mixed into our dish. We double checked to make sure it wasn't a mushroom, and it wasn't. My husband was brave enough to take a bite and said it was seafood of some sort. The hair twice in my food and Luke-warm soup stopped me from wanting to eat. I honestly got up and left and my husband stayed to pay the bill and mention our disappointment. Execution of dishes and training are severely lacking here from the kitchen to the service. I have to say, Atlas can build a pretty restaurant and have aesthetic, but then seriously disappoint with the food. Several of their restaurants fall short, though a few have done okay. It made my husband and I think about how much money is wasted in investing in restaurants and how challenging it feels for this one to succeed. Nine Tailed Fox feels very disjointed. A great idea, beautiful spot, but needs a lot of improvement to save itself. Train your staff on grooming and maybe you'll need hair nets in the kitchen? Not sure how to handle two dishes with hair in them. A big no for me in terms of dining out. Side note: The bar was busy so maybe the drinks aren't terrible? But two stories of space with not much to write home about. I hope this review helps the restaurant to take pause and improve and refine to do better. We will not be visiting again due to our personal experience, but for other diners reading this, maybe they will have improved by the time you choose to visit. I hope your experience is not like ours. read more

The food at nine Tailed Fox was quite good. For example, the kung pow chicken was not breaded, the sauces were not thickened, and the veggies were fresh. The service was somewhat flawed. All of our dishes were brought at the same time, regardless of whether they were appetizers or entrees, and we waited a very long time before we had anything. Why is there something called a "facilities fee" on the check?? read more

My dinner last night with friends was nice. We enjoyed sitting on the roof deck and the service was decent. We waited a very long time for our food and the entrees came out too fast after we had our appetizers. What bothered me the most was a "facilities fee" on the bill. I think it was 3-4%. What is that for? I didn't see it noted on the printed menu, though maybe I missed it. I didn't ask about it at the time because I didn't want to put our server on the spot. This morning I looked at the restaurant's website and couldn't find any contact information so I'm posting my feedback here. read more

This restaurant is very loud in the dining area; uncomfortably loud. It was also tight and felt like they squeezed in the tables, as servers brushed past my arm twice while seated. Food was 8/10, cocktails 9/10. read more

I went here to this new restaurant with my parents, about a week or so only it just opened up? The food is more upscale chinese food cooked by a talented chinese chef, so i was quite excited to go. Immediately, the interior is absolutely gorgeous. It has great outside seating and the inside has a wonderful eastern theme. The service had a few tiny rough bits-- mainly forgetting to put out spoons with dessert and accidentally giving us another appetizer, but the server was extremely kind and food came out promptly, PLUS it's a brand new restaurant so i can ignore it. And the manager came by to ask us how it was himself, which i appreciate a lot. As for the food, we splurged and got several dishes. Peking duck, crab ragoons, general tso chicken, mongolian beef, fried rice with crab, and singapore noodle. Each of these dishes... were amazing. The peking duck was pre-cut for convenience, the general tso was sweet but not cloying, not too salty, had a pleasant crunch, the mongolian beef was seasoned perfectly, the crab rangoons had a wonderful crunch, the singapore noodle had a great chew, and the fried rice was nice and light. However... the pitfall came with desserts. First off is pretty big. The dessert menu did not show prices-- at least from what i could see. I'm a pastry chef myself, so i was curious about prices my colleagues set. On the bill it ended up being $14, which is fine... but the taste however is another story. We got 2 desserts: the strawberry lychee cloud cake, and the xiao long bao. Presentation wise? Amazing. The cake looked like a Michelin restaurant plated dessert and the baos were absolutely adorable. However, i found the cake a bit one-note, and none of the flavors really felt fresh or jumped out to me. The baos were... unfortunately quite awful. The dough was extremely mushy and coated my mouth and palette with a floury taste, the ganache inside was like a small drop that barely amounted to anything, and the whipped cream was... salty. And worse of all, there was 0 sweetness whatsoever. The dough was neutral. The ganache was very strong, bitter chocolate. And the whipped cream literally just tasted like salt. It was a failure on all front, I'm afraid. BUT! I don't think that's enough to detract from a 5 star rating on here-- I'd say 4.5/5 if i could. The manager even graciously accepted our criticism, which goes a long way for me. I will absolutely return here, and i recommend all to do the same to support a new restaurant. read more

First let me say, the food is DELICIOUS!! & the mood is definitely set with the lighting and aesthetic. It's perfect for a dating space. Story time! Myself and my sisters went to Nine Tailed Fox for our Galentines dinner; they were very busy, and although we had a reservation, once we were seated we were given water and ended up waiting for quite some time (maybe about 20 min) before receiving service. We didn't notice at first because we were engaged in great conversation, but we kindly got up and asked the hostess to assist with getting us a server. NOT ONLY did she assist, but we were treated very well! Our server, Trinity, came over very apologetic as she had not been notified that we were her table. She made sure to give us great insight on menu items to assist us in making decisions and she was VERY attentive to our likes. She spoke with the manager without our asking (we hadn't mentioned the wait again, we weren't upset about it) as she wanted to make sure that our experience was top tier. The manager, Beau (pronounced like "Bo"), came over to check on us and treated us so kind to say the very least. Our experience was INDEED top tier. The way they handled us was so intentional and we appreciated every bit of that experience. While they could've left it at a simple apology they saw fit to go above and beyond to make sure that we experienced the culture of the restaurant, and that to me, speaks to how TOP TIER they are as individuals! I'd go back for Beau and Trinity ANY DAY! read more

Would be zero if I could. Wife placed carry out order. Showed up on time to be told it's already been picked up. Manager grilled her, like she's stealing their mediocre food, to eventually put the order in again. Brought food out more than an hour late and barely offers any apology. Portions are small and prices are high and service is SH*T!!! Atlas missed the mark on this one. NEVER AGAIN!!! read more

Ambience and Service are great. The food was terrible. We order the Peking Duck at $78. The duck was more fat than meat. it was served with 6 scallions and when we asked for more they charged us $.50, and the same with the duck sauce. The soup was tasteless and watery. read more

We loved our Christmas meal at NTF! The food was phenomenal, the service attentive, and a great lively atmosphere. I know Atlas can be divisive which is why the reviews are all over the place, which is understandable. Come for great Dim Sum, some good tea, and enjoy the duck... we will be back soon! read more

Wonderful restaurant! The atmosphere is amazing! The food is amazing! I tried the orange beef and it was delicious!

Our sever Anna was incredibly helpful and welcoming. Thank you for making our night !
