    Sourdough Bread Bowl

    I ordered broccoli cheddar soup in bread bowl at this Panera today but only got the bread bowl and no soup. 11 dollars for bread in the shape of a bowl, disappointing.

    Autumn squash soup and Greek salad

    Very good service. The guy was patient and helpful. The food was ready crazy fast. I loved the soup. Even the little seeds had a great taste. The salad was good though I would have like another pepper I was able to eat and sit by the fire where I read for a little bit. Very nice.

    As other Paneras, the menu offers salads, soups, pastas, sandwiches, and kid options. I came here to pick up an Orange Scone - this was a generous size, where it was larger than my hand! The scone itself wasn't dry or crumbly, but there was enough moistness to it with a nice orange glaze. Perfect treat with a hot beverage! The staff here was super friendly, welcoming, and very sweet. They also made the lines move along quickly. I also noticed that the space was maintained very well, where the tables and the chairs were wiped down often and was very clean. A good place to catch up, do some work/studying, and/or to grab a quick/casual meal.   Plenty of parking, too! +friendly staff! +clean! +quiet and a relaxing environment +plenty of parking in the plaza lot +located next to Foo Bao

    French Onion Soup with baguette.
    Rachel W.

    I've been craving Panera for a while after it closed down in Columbia Mall so I was stoked to see that one opened on route 40! People describe the food as glorified hospital food, but somehow they make it good. The Panera has every warm toned and always smells like muffins. I don't know how but even though they sell many other types of food, the only thing you smell when you come in are the muffins. Another notable thing was the staff. The staff was friendly and was very energetic! My friend and I ordered the mac and cheese, french onion soup, and a spicy chicken sandwich. The french onion soup was soooo good. It was sweet and then salty and the croutons adds a good crunch. The only downfall was that the soup was at a weird temperature. It was in a mix between warm and room temp. The chicken sandwich was great too! the flavors went together very nicely. It was so good, we were about to go back and get another sandwich. The only downside was the mac and cheese. The mac and cheese came out warm on top but cold on the bottom. The noodles were kind of separated from the cheese so it was like eating a noodles and cheese rather than mac and cheese. But otherwise, I ate it up. Overall, I still really like this place, but maybe next time, I'll ask to heat up the mac and cheese and the soup a little more.

    Lobster Mac and cheese with strawberry poppy seed salad
    Jannet C.

    Had a nice lunch here. They have their lobster special in a roll or Mac and cheese. I got their pick 2 with lobster Mac and cheese with a strawberry poppy seed salad. I like how they give you a good amount of lobster on the Mac and cheese a that seasonal salad is fresh, sweet and delicious too. The combo was $27, I guess that's about the going rate for lobster these days. I always enjoy their sandwiches, soups, salads breakfast items, baked goods, I'll go back again soon.

    Awesome place! I had known about the locations in Rockville and nearby there, but that is a bit far…read morefor noodles (80min drive). So i was happy to see this place. It is still a bit far (35min), but doable. I also wasnt sure if i would be able to eat something because wheat noodles, but the staff were awesome enough to allow my substitution of wheat noodles for glass noodles in the dish i had chosen. I had originally made the nice lady very nervous with my request and she tried to convince me to try the dish that was advertised with the glass noodles, but i assured her that it would be fine as i normally eat noodles without soup. I ordered the 3 oil noodles with ground pork. It was very tasty. Especially after i added vinegar and the house chili oil. Definitely coming back.

    I've visited a few times and keep coming back for the noodle soups. My go-to is the lamb noodle…read moresoup with a spicy broth, and it never disappoints--rich, flavorful, and packed with tender pieces of lamb. One of the highlights is the handmade noodles, which you can customize in thickness, from delicate angel hair to something as hearty as fettuccine. The menu has plenty of variety beyond soups, including dumplings, spring rolls, stir-fried noodles, and oil-tossed noodle dishes. I also tried the braised intestines on the side; while they were well-prepared, the texture wasn't quite for me--I'd probably enjoy them more if they were fried. Ordering is convenient, whether you prefer doing it in person, through the app, or at the kiosk. The space has a good number of tables for dining in, and there's even a piano if you know how to play. Overall, it's been a consistently enjoyable spot for lunch.

    Myanmar Thai - Chickpea puree tofu rice noodles, fried shallots were a great touch for diversifying texture.

We tried to go at 9 and 10 on weekends but they were closed. This weekend we got there at 11 on Sunday and they seemed to be just opening. I've been stoked to try this place because I love Burmese food, but it didn't hit for us. Our donuts were soggy. They tasted underdone. The green curry was watery, but spicy. It was a big portion, but almost no chicken. I was most excited for the tea leaf salad, but I think there must have been something that got lost in translation because what we got was most definitely not a tea leaf salad. I was so sad when I opened the take out in the car. It was also slow. We ordered, grocery shopped, and when we came back it still wasn't ready yet.

If there was a 3.5 star option, I feel like that would be the most accurate representation here. The place itself is located on the wall of the Lotte in Catonsville and it looks like a small family-run establishment. Service was kind, but admittedly a bit of a language barrier which may have affected some of the ordering process. In total, we ordered the tea leaf salad, a curry dish, seafood noodles, and the asian doughnuts. While I was hoping for fresh, vibrant dishes, my expectations fell a bit short where some of the proteins felt a bit tough and other ingredients felt a bit soggy. The flavor profile was good (one of those places where spicy means spicy), but it did lean a bit on the seafoody/fishy side. I still think it warrants checking out because it's not often that there's Burmese cuisine available.
