    Jumbo Shrimp Fried Rice
    Hammed A.

    For what it's worth, this place is a good 4 star carryout for the community staples which are fried rice, egg foo young, and yet gaw mein. Those are the only menu items I've seen and heard patrons order from here; for decades. NOTE: here, you have two options for yat gaw mein; stir fried and broth-based. Baltimore locals seem to enjoy the stir fried version which is dark in color and very savory. Only in Baltimore have I tried the stir fried version which is delicious, however, very heavy. Some in Baltimore consume theirs with ketchup which can be added in or on the side. I ordered pork yat gaw mein and I appreciate the large chunks of roasted pork in it. Delicious, however, very rich in flavor. The fried rice is some of the best urban area fried rice I've tried, however, what keeps it from being my favorite is there's a tad too much soy sauce used. To achieve the dark color, it seems they use quite a bit of dark soy sauce. It is not salty, however, very rich and savory; also borderline oily. But still a very good fried rice. The jumbo shrimp fried rice is a value and an excellent choice. The fried chicken wings were absolutely delicious and seasoned well. No sauce needed. The inside of the restaurant resembles your typical urban carryout with little to no appeal. The customer service is good; the workers appreciate the customers and vice versa. A good community landmark.

    Shrimp Yat Gaw Mein

    The line was out of the door, but it was a Friday evening. I received my food pretty quickly. The Yat Gaw Mein was great, the chicken batter was thick, and grainy.

    Large shrimp. Half a pound. 8.45

    I've had fried rice from here last year and it was so greasy it made me sick. A friend of mine told me they had the best steamed shrimp and only because he was a good friend that likes to eat like me I went back. Why is this review 4 stars? It's 4 stars for the steamed shrimp. Skip the greasy food and order steamed shrimp. The seasoning mix that they use is sweet and spicy. The shrimp are better than most steamed seafood places. About 9 bucks for a half a pound. Sketchy but quiet area. Would I risk my life for the shrimp again. Yep.

    Been eating from the Pimlico since Northwestern High. Now the food is absolutely terrible. I had the pork egg foo young & cheese steak egg roll & threw all that mess in the trash. It wasn't even worth the trip to return.

    Went here again last night and it was very very good. The shrimp egg roll is unbelievable it's so good. I ate half in the car. The portions of the food are huge. They only sell large sizes. They stay open until 2:30 am !! I also had shrimp egg foo yung and it is ok. Not spectacular Gravy is not too tasteful either.

The best part was the spring rolls and the donuts, those were like what I expected. The fried rice had very large pieces of vegetables (entire broccoli florets, piece of baby corn, carrot slices) and was not crispy, chewy, or anything that suggested it was fried except oily, and was the oblong oval kind of rice, some kind of short grain or sticky rice. So the texture was wrong to me. The flavor was underwhelming and did not use nearly enough soy sauce, salt, MSG, whatever. These things were pretty consistent across their other dishes as well, including lo mein and hunan chicken; veg pieces too big, flavor not there, sauce too thin and not dark enough. Parking was impossible for pickup; had to circle the block 5 times. The location was scary at 8:30PM, there was a homeless woman yelling at me from the sidewalk on the way in, just something to be aware of. However my order was ready on time and they were polite.

    Blue Island (Aug 31, 2023, Thursday, ~ 2p.m.)…read more Blue Island is located in the Lexington Market in the heart of Baltimore City. I first went to the Lexington Market pretty early mid-morning on Aug. 30, 2023 before I headed to the B&O Railroad Museum (A MUST-SEE when visiting Baltimore.) and was expecting a food market selling fresh produce, unprocessed foods, confectionaries, flowers etc. I was totally wrong. It is instead a two-story structure carrying many different types of cuisine. Blue Island is located on the second floor. After climbing stairs of many steps right in the middle of the structure, Blue Island is located on the left side towards the back end of the second floor. There are a few tables and chairs set up so you can "dine-in". I was way too early, and the store was not open yet. I decided to come back the next day to try out the food due to my tight schedule that day. If you do some research, some of the other sites claim Blue Island offers Malaysian cuisine. Being born in Singapore, a very close neighboring country of Malaysia, I can tell you that it is most definitely NOT Malaysian cuisine. Their food, however, may have some Malaysian spices incorporated into it, and I taste that in the "spicy" dishes (Not spicy enough for my taste though. Way too Americanized.). The high quality ingredients are also part of the Malaysian heritage. What impressed me most was the pretty large sized shrimp that was part of the ingredients in the fried rice and fried noodles. In my many decades living in this country, I've eaten a lot of what I call "fake" Chinese/Asian cuisine, and I have never encountered shrimp of that size with any of those rice/noodle dishes. What stood out even more was that shrimp was FRESH - a double bonus. As in many places, you can order the combos, but there is a catch. My past experiences with these places is that when you order a 2-item combo, that means either a base rice and/or noodle PLUS 2 entrees. At Blue.Island, the rice or noodle IS COUNTED as one item (No half and half either.) in the Combo. I ended up ordering a 3-item combo with fried rice and two of their spicier entrees. The food was very delicious, and a definite cut above the rest. I also had time, while in line to order the food, to have a quick chat with one of the servers. I discovered that the owner and some of the servers were originally from Hong Kong. The two I spoke with also spoke Cantonese, and I was provided with a little discount off the total price, which was totally unexpected and appreciated. If you decide to eat at this place, please be prepared for a constant line of people doing the same. I was there for about 90 minutes to rest my tired feet after long hours of sight-seeing, and the line never ceased throughout that time. Do yourself a favor and patronize this place. I don't think you will regret that decision. Ah, those large tasty shrimp! For the taste, quality, and value. I rate this place a full 5 stars. Happy Eating !!!!
