Jhu Baltimore | Restaurants That Were Deceived by Filters

Baltimore Chinese Food Review: Nine Tailed Fox – Great Ambiance, Disappointing Flavors 😂 Tucked just 10 minutes’ drive from JHU Homewood Campus, Nine Tailed Fox (3 Village Square, Baltimore, MD 21210) wows with its sleek decor and warm, golden lighting that’s perfect for photos. Unfortunately, the food doesn’t live up to the vibe. I ordered four dishes, and here’s the unfiltered truth: 🍗 Sichuan Spicy Chicken – 1/5 First bite had me confused—I thought I was eating chicken nuggets! The chicken is covered in a thick layer of batter, with barely any meat inside. It’s all “batter texture” and no “chicken flavor.” The only saving grace is the tender bite when it’s piping hot, but overall, it’s a failed take on a classic. Skip it. 🥢 Dry-Fried Beef Hor Fun – 4.5/5 (THE SAVIOR OF THE MEAL ✨) This dish single-handedly saved the dinner! A friend from Fujian even certified it as authentically tasty. The rice noodles are wok-charred to perfection, the beef is well-marinated and flavorful, and the sweet onions add a nice crunch. It’s oily but not greasy—so good that it’s the only dish I wanted to take home. Must-order if you go! 🥩 Osmanthus Honey Glazed Ribs – 0.5/5 They look and smell amazing when served, but one bite reveals a dealbreaker: a strong fishy/meaty odor, likely from improper blood draining. The meat is tender and falls off the bone, but the flavor tastes exactly like frozen Costco ribs slathered in cheap syrup. Total letdown. 🥟 Chicken Soup Dumplings – 2/5 The wrappers are thin enough, but the filling is a mushy mess. There’s way too much starch mixed in, so you get zero juicy, bouncy meat texture. Bland and forgettable—don’t waste your money. 💬 Final Verdict Ambiance: 4.5/5 (warm golden lighting = chef’s kiss for photos, even if it’s a bit too dim) Food Average Score: 2.4/5 Must-Order: Only the Dry-Fried Beef Hor Fun Avoid At All Costs: Spicy Chicken, Osmanthus Ribs, Chicken Soup Dumplings Price: $$ (4 dishes cost $80, ~$40 per person) Next time I’ll probably just grab a plate of hor fun and a drink, snap some pics, and dip. #JHUFoodie #BaltimoreChinese #HonestFoodReview #FoodieFail #DryFriedHorFunYYDS #BaltimoreEats
