We came on a Saturday night and the place was surprisingly empty.
We ordered the following:
Garlic bok choy: 9.5/10 – wouldn’t change a thing and even increased the flavor of the mixian
Sautéed green bean: 10/10 well worth the price.
Crab Rangoon mozerella sticks: 10/10 whoever thought of this is a genius. Highly recommended.
Southern soul Bao Bun: 8/10 the bun was a little too thick.
Carne asada fríes: 8.5/10 very good just wished the fries were crispier. Asada was well seasoned.
Hot stone short rib mixian: 7/10 the broth was lacking body and the meat was unseasoned. Adding in the bok choy increased the flavor.
The food is rather good but they lack foot traffic. I think this place needs better outdoor decor to attract the eye. We were looking on purpose and almost passed it. Not having the ‘all you can eat lunch’ anymore and not having a liquor license puts them at a disadvantage to the other places in the area.

I wanna start by saying that the young lady that was working when I went to this restaurant last night was amazing. She was nice. She gave some good food advice that I’m sure saved me from being disappointed in what I was originally going to order. I also want to say it’s a nice little spot. Got a good vibe to it.
However, I ordered takeout last night and if I’m being honest, it’s the worst Chinese food I’ve ever had in my life.
I ordered the lemon grass ribs, absolute worst ribs I’ve ever had as you can see from the picture. They were dry overcooked under sauced completely underwhelming. I also ordered shrimp fried rice since the Carne Asada fried rice was not going to be made with the meat it’s usually made with and I ended up with this dry flame with rice with baby baby baby shrimp.
Overall, just not good food I’m sorry. And this little bit of food cost me almost $40.

Food is great! 4 star because I do miss some of their old menu items, steak in the eye of the tiger is a tad overcook to me but overall the flavor was delicious. love that they kept the noodles! Service is great and very attentive! Love how they decorated.

Hidden Gem in Baltimore!
On our drive back home from NYC, my wife and I stumbled across this amazing Asian restaurant in Baltimore—and wow, what a surprise!
The standout dishes? The ribs and the potato dish—absolutely incredible. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and packed with flavor, and the potato dish was unlike anything we’ve had before—crispy, savory, and perfectly seasoned. Easily the best we’ve had in a long time.
What really made the experience even better was our waiter. Super friendly, welcoming, and really informative about the menu. He gave great recommendations and helped us understand some of the more unique dishes.
We weren’t planning to stop in Baltimore, but now we have a reason to come back. My wife and I will definitely be returning!

My second time here and they didn’t skip a beat! Dayana and Zezou were excellent servers and the chef visited our table and thanked us for our service. We will definitely come back and check out their Premium AYCE menu

Coming to Water song is always a great time! We love talking to Colin about the new dishes and his ideas. Zizou is always a great waiter, he smiles, make you feel like family, and is very attentive! The food is always fresh, you can taste almost every ingredient in each bite!

特报吃！！！ We went around the 7 PM on Friday night and menu was totally different upon request they’re saying because of tariff so they have adjust the manual totally bullshit. The food was beyond bad not something that you will pay for $60 for those a quality of food. The service is bad as well. If you are looking for some authentic yunnan food or Chinese food- don’t go.

I like the place enough to both periodically buy takeout and also introduce to my parents as a sit-down experience. My usual takeout order is xiao guo spicy pork noodles and they wrap it up well enough to survive the trip. The scallion pancakes are good too. But honestly, you can’t go wrong with the rest of the menu.
Absolutely get the sesame ball pastries for dessert, though. You’d be wrong not to do it.
Also, the staff is extremely nice and I got a larger serving in my order around New Year.

This was our second time here and both experiences were excellent! The service is great and the food is so good. The lemongrass pork and shrimp dumplings are a favorite. The long green pepper with pork was spicy and flavorful, perfect with the rice. The Kunming style sticky rice cakes were some of the best rice cakes I’ve had anywhere. They were soft but still chewy and the sauce was sweet and savory.
Don’t forget to try the pumpkin cakes for dessert!
