    Chicken loNein take out

    If you look closely in the picture the fried rice was poorly done. You can still see white rice mixed in. It was probably the worst version of fried rice that I've had. My 12 year old makes better fried rice. The chicken was very bland. Considering that this is a basic dish. It was very disappointing. Surprisingly the chicken Lo-mein was good. The inside was dark and there needs to be upgrades. The staff was nice enough. I had to ask for a fork and napkins for my take out order. This place does not have seating so, I thought utensils were a basic bagged item. I try to support local businesses but I will not be back here.

    Wonton soup.

    Food: So I have purchased wonton soup from this location several times. I must admit it's always boiling hot and good. I'm not even sure what these containers are made of that keeps the soup so hot. The look: Now I don't include this often in my reviews but I have to say that the place could use an upgrade or 10. It's looks really run down inside and the lighting is fairly depressing. It's not that large of a space but for foodies sake you guys can update the seating. It looks like something I would see out of the poorest location of a city. The wonton soup is really good though. But just because your food is good is not reason for the restaurant to look dingy and unkept.

    Food was tasty as always. No Dine-In all take out. We requested snow peas with steamed tofu in white sauce and was delicious. White sauce will be low sodium not as flavorful as the brown sauce. For health reasons we use our own low sodium soy sauce when we eat them at home.

    This place is truly outstanding. I came in this evening because I was looking for seafood in the…read moreLaurel area as I was passing through. I loved this place and meal. I ordered the stuffed flounder with two sides. I got collard greens and brussel sprouts. Also ordered a small Maryland crab soup. My partner got the shrimp and scallops over rice and ordered a side of green beans with mushrooms. Everything was outstanding. My flounder was broiled nicely and there were what seemed to be three filets in the order. The stuffing (crab meat) was a huge portion of what seemed to be just crab. I kept looking for mayo or filler and didn't see anything. It was delicious. The collard greens and brussel sprouts - huge portion of each - were both very good. I liked the fact that the greens were not swimming in pork fat and didn't have anything in them but tasty greens. My partner enjoyed their scallops and shrimp. The rice was even in texture and flavorful. The Maryland crab soup had at least 4 large chunks of crab in addition to veggies. Delicious broth with old bay flavor. There's a sauce station with Mambo sauce, cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, hot sauce and ketchup. I tried all the sauces and they were good. Cocktail sauce had a good amount of horseradish in it. The place itself is set up like a huge cafeteria. You walk in and order at a counter, then pass a variety of the entrees and sides. They all looked fresh and good. Large. Well lit seating area. You seat yourself and pick up your order when it's ready (a sign displays the order numbers when they are ready). The place is clean and I enjoyed the variety of music playing throughout our meal. Some Luther Vandross, Chicago, and other tunes from the same time period. Really pleasant. There's an active bar with happy hour food and drinks. The bar was hopping when we were there.

I had crab stuffed salmon and it was the best meal I'd had in my 2 weeks of traveling. Not much for ambience or service. You walked up, ordered your food and they called you when it was ready. All of the meals and sides were in trays that you could pick from. So you got to see exactly what you were getting. There were three stuffed salmon on a tray, and I watched them take them out one at a time and serve them. I was afraid it was going to take a while before I got mine, but they immediately pulled the tray and put in three more. And those three went just as quickly. They do so much takeout that the food was just turning constantly. If I'm ever in the area again, this is the first place I will go.

Lots of windows and light and bright. At the least it is an awesome place for a happy hour with some good deals that are well advertised. The food to me is just ok. It's often a red flag to me when the bread basket is your favorite thing about the restaurant and this is that. The muffins they give out to every table are diabolical. I could swim in those things. When it comes to what I ordered, the cucumber cups were ok, and the fish I got was well cooked and what I ordered, but there was nothing fun about it. Long story short, I don't jump to go back, but if someone suggests it, I'm not upset. I'll just make sure to order something different and take the whole muffin basket for myself.

Menus and drink orders were brought promptly. I chose the fish tacos, and our server - Casey - asked if I wanted the fish pan seared or blackened. We had a discussion over how many chips and salsa were served with it, because my friend wanted some with his veggie burger. We learned that the amount with an entrée is just right - about two handfuls - so we each had some, with my friend's being a substitution for fries. I almost can't find the words to describe those tacos! The fish was moist, perfectly seasoned and generously heaped in each taco. Often, tacos lean heavily on the veg elements but these had just the right amount of slaw. The flavor of the fish was so delicate and savory. Honestly, one taco was all I could manage. Although they were street taco sized, it was so filling. I only ate a handful of chips; they were good but nothing special, as was the tiny cup of salsa. My friend said his veggie burger was excellent, and he enjoyed the bit of chips and salsa as well. He just had water, while I tried a Corona NA. The bill was around $56, which is very reasonable. There's plenty of free parking in the shopping center. Great service, good prices, excellent food - I'll go back!

The name "Soul Boat" definitely lured me in but instead I got canned greens and uncandid yams. I was beyond disappointed the moment I walked in but decided to give them a shot anyway because I was hungry. My wife and I ordered the following: Whiting Fish Platter, Shrimp Platter, along with fried Calamari. The platters come with two sides. The whiting platter I ordered I chose collard greens and candid yams. You can tell the greens came out the can. The amount of stems and blandness annoyed me from the first bit. The candid yams have nothing sweet about them. The fish was unseasoned can tasted like a filet that was just dumped in a deep fryer and pulled out. I threw most of this away outside of the fish. My wife ordered the shrimp platter with mac and cheese and greens. The shrimp are LARGE. Same problem with the greens. The Mac & Cheese just wasn't giving. I also ordered a side of Calamari.
