"despite the extreme overcrowding due to the restaurant week in baltimore county, the food, service and pleasure was great until the par. the restaurant week menu was great! I was there for lunch and was happy to see that the portions were not affected because it was a special menu. many places do that. I love eating here and doing it regularly. Many thanks for a great meal!"

"Never had a bad meal at 7 West Bistro. I think our server’s name was Joel? He was excellent. Food comes out just minutes after you order it. Big portions and very reasonable priced. Love the chicken kebabs, and half half crab soup. The only downside is that it’s always extremely crowded on weekends and patrons are always so loud so don’t expect to have a quiet meal. We went on a Thursday evening and it was still crowded and loud. We continue to go back because the food is really good. Best to make a reservation."

"This is a fantastic carryout spot (takeout only) serving delicious suburban Chinese-American cuisine. The place is small and can get quite busy during peak hours, so be sure to allow extra time for pickup. They prefer cash over credit cards, but if you do use a card, offering to cover the 3% processing fee will be appreciated, along with a small tip. The pickup area only has two chairs—no tables available. Overall, the food is excellent!"

"There are several locations in the greater Baltimore area that will provide good, and even great, American Chinese food, but among them all, this is the only restaurant I have found that provides authentic Sichuan cuisine. All pertinent dishes are prepared with Sichuan peppercorns in contrast to generic chili spices that many restaurants use as a pitiful approximation, and I have tried many different dishes on this menu to confirm it. It 's the only place I know of in Towson that serves mapo tofu-and serves it very well to boot! Every dish contains at least three discrete meals (and I 'm a tall man, so this isn 't diet talk , the prices are right, and I have yet to try a dish that I would describe as anything less than excellent. This is my first time trying the fried pork intestine. Any concerns one might have of flabby or spongy meat were fast allayed. Perfectly crisp, extremely flavorful, and with that distinctive málà prickliness from a properly spiced Sichuan dish. If I were to be critical at all, I would say that it could use a handful more scallions. Disregard any petulant reviews of late food or the like-that is the fault, if anything, of a particular Grubhub driver. This is the most authentic Chinese food you 're going to find in an hour 's drive, and if you want any competitors, you 're going to have to drive down to DC 's Chinatown district and find one of the nice basement shops with duck carcasses hanging in the window. You want good Chinese food? Here it is. Or you can be a weenie and order General Tso 's from their Gweilo menu section. I 'm sure that also tastes good, with the effort this staff puts into all its dishes. 10/10, will order again (with a new dish, because it 's going to take a long time for me to get through their entire menu! ."

"The food was outstanding! It was so good that we ate there twice a day and even shopped at the market in between our visits. The crabs were also fantastic, with each dish showcasing its own unique flavor. The cocktails were fresh and perfectly balanced! The appetizers came out hot, crispy, and fresh—simply delicious. We tried a lot of different dishes! The calamari was some of the best I've ever had, and I've served fantastic calamari in Savannah, GA for years. The Lachssushi Stack was refreshing and well-seasoned. The crab fries were tasty, a bit heavy but genuinely satisfying—freshly cut fries at their finest. The bacon-wrapped scallops were cooked to perfection, and the accompanying sauce and Brussels sprouts were to die for! The cream of crab soup was fantastic as well—I could definitely taste the sherry! The steamer pots blew us away with their size; these were some serious shells. I also enjoyed the vegetables served with the dishes. I could go on and on! Do yourself a favor and eat here!"
