Niko-Japanese Restaurant in Ellicott City, MD

April 10, 2009 By Anna Leave a Comment

If you live in Ellicott City and you love sushi, there's a great chance that you know about Niko's Sushi Lunch Buffet. Well it has been around for a while and quite popular to all different cultures. Niko is Korean-owned Japanese Restaurant, so if you go to their buffet, you'll be able to taste even some Korean Banchans/sidedishes there as well. (For Example dumplings/mandu and other veggies.)

I love sushi, rolls, sashimi..etc (Koreans have our own style Sashimi too!) and it's the closest one I can go during short Lunch break when I really one something not too greasy and anything with rice. LOL. Niko was really popular and still is but many people claim that Niko changed little bit...that their sashimi(raw fish)...got little "too thin," they say... Usually buffet sushi or rolls are packed with rice and less of sashimi and Niko 'used to' have smaller version of sushi so better to taste all different kinds but I do agree that they started to add more rice than usual. But hey, I think it's still Okay for lunch. Well, shall we see the picture?

Tian Korean-Chinese restaurant in Ellicott City, MD REVISTED

February 16, 2009 By Anna 2 Comments

Finally, I revisited Tian Restaurant after a horrible experience while back. If you don't know what I mean read my FIRST review of Tian.

After my first visit, I didn't really find any reason for me to go back there but people have been telling me including "Jay" from the comment that Tian actually GOT better. Also they started this 99cents Jjajangmyun which seems to catch everyone's attention. So we finally revisited that place.

Tian Restaurant
We ordered PahlBochae (Seafood Mix) and two orders of Jjajangmyun. We found out that each bowl of Jjajangmyun automatically adds a dollar tip. So I guess you could say that Jjajangmyun is $1.99 which is still not too bad. Although the taste has nothing so special but for that price it was pretty good and pretty good serving size too. Also Pahl Bo Chae was pretty good too.

Sakura-Foodcourt in Columbia Town Center, MD

December 23, 2008 By Anna Leave a Comment

chicken teriyaki with steamed rice and veggies

For years after long hours of shopping in Columbia Town Center in MD, whenever I have no energy to go on anymore, I find myself automatically going to the food court and get in line for chicken teriyaki. It's like part of the routine in Columbia Mall for me. They always ask double meat and fried rice. If you are not used to English in asian accents, you might just say "ok" (or you really might want that.) I don't really like fried rice so I usually just say what I want. I always get "Chicken Teriyaki with steamed rice and veggies." Yum Yum!!! I also always ask for some hot sauce (to the cashier) and teriyaki sauce over the top (to the cook.) They used to have "Sriracha" hot sauce but now they give you some prepacked hot sauce that's milder and more vinegarish? I still like their hot sauce though... as long as I have some kind of hot sauce I will be alright. Ha ha. And judging from the long lines I always see. I think it's a routine for others as well. Good price and filling too!
So...Are you one of us?

Fresh World International Market-Poongnyun Foodcourt in Glen Burnie, MD

November 14, 2008 By Anna Leave a Comment

(Sept. 2009) Former Fresh World is now Allgreen market under new management. However, the foodcourt in the market is still the same.

Fresh World International Market-El Grande Supermercado recently opened in Glen Burnie, MD on the Ritchie Highway.
freshworld international supermarket
It's a huge market with lots of real international stuff and regular necessities. Unlike Lotte or Hmart in Ellicott City, MD, Fresh World has more Latin products. But since it's a huge market they have a variety of products including Korean (of course).

They just opened (November 7th, 2008) a Korean and Japanese foodcourt/restaurant beside the seafood department.

I, of course, had to try it out!
