Hot Pot Chinese Restaurant

"This rating is on the service only. Been 70 minutes sitting here waiting for carry out. Unacceptable. They have a total of 3 people working. Total on Valentines Day. Very disappointed.

Came here with a friend because the yelp reviews were good. He ordered the sweet and sour chicken and I ordered the shrimp egg foo young. Both were excellent, but the egg for young sauce was amazing. My buddy kept dipping his chicken in it (its in a side bowl). Annie took great care of us and the inside is very clean and comfortable. Overall, it was a great experience. Will go again.

I am pleasantly surprised! Don't judge this book by it's cover, folks.

I have a go-to Chinese place in northern Maryland, and I'm always disappointed when I go new places. This place, while not quite the same (I'm spoiled, what can I say), is a fantastic find in Southern MD.

When I try new places, I want to try a variety of dishes, so I make sure that I'm not writing an eventual review on one dish that maybe happened to not be my favorite. This time, pretty much everything was a win!

The hot and sour soup, which I usually am not a huge fan of anyways, was everything hot and sour soup should be. Well done!

Crab Rangoon (called something else here) were good - fried just right, and well-filled, but they were just a little bit on the sweet side for me, and had just a little bit too much cream cheese in them - otherwise, very good!

Szechuan string beans - not my favorite, and they didn't stay crisp. I was expecting beans without a real sauce that had szechuan seasonings on them instead. They were alright, but my expectations were set higher.

Moo Shu Pork - very good! A little heavier on the cabbage than most I've seen, but very flavorful. Ask for some extra Hoisen sauce, though, if you get carryout!

Chicken in Ginger sauce - fantastic. My favorite dish of all the things we ordered. Definitely a bit on the spicy side, but not overwhelmingly so. I highly recommend this!

The service was great - everyone was friendly and helpful. And seriously - the inside is really nice - the outside looks mediocre at best, but they did a great job decorating, and have 3 separate dining spaces, depending on what you're looking for. The first area is where people generally wait for takeout, the middle area is for couples and smaller dining parties, and the back area is set for larger parties with tables to accommodate 6-10.

Overall, a great find, and I look forward to dining in next time!
