Joey Chiu's Greenspring Inn - Timonium

I was pleasantly surprised by the ambiance and spaciousness of the restaurant. I wasn't expecting such a high-quality setup in a strip mall. The food was excellent. However, the service could use some improvement to achieve a five-star experience.

The food is decent. It was recommended to me by someone who believed it was prepared in a healthier manner compared to typical Chinese restaurants in the city, and I think that’s accurate. However, I felt it could have used a bit more seasoning. I ordered the shrimp fried rice, and I also tried the crab wontons, which were quite good. I might return to sample something different. The prices are a bit on the higher side as well.

Simply put, it's great food prepared to perfection. The service is exceptional, and the ambiance is beautiful. While it's pricier than takeout, it’s definitely worth the extra cost. Some of the traditional dishes might not seem entirely traditional; for example, the General Tso's chicken is lightly breaded, and the crispy beef isn’t as crunchy as you might expect. Nevertheless, they truly set the standard for what quality food should be.

The crab cake was outstanding! The service was excellent as well. However, parking during lunchtime can be a bit challenging due to its location in a busy medical park. The menu offers a nice variety of Asian dishes.

We received fair warnings before visiting. Everyone we spoke to had negative things to say, and they weren’t wrong. The overpriced food and drinks make this restaurant stand out for all the wrong reasons. Just because we paid a premium doesn't mean the food was good. In fact, this is some of the worst Chinese food we’ve encountered in the Baltimore area.
