Charm City Poke & Mochi — Restaurant in Baltimore

I ordered carryout for dinner a few weeks ago, as I've been wanting to try this place out. The order was ready quickly, probably because it was a chilly weeknight and not many people were out. I ordered the Spam Musubi, Salmon Lover Poke Bowl, some dumplings, and the broccoli salad. The broccoli salad and dumplings were both pretty tasty.

The beef pieces were minced which I found unusual and I think was part of the reason it was so overdone. I'll drop in again to try some more things so we'll see...

Service wasn't great - my and my fiances orders were both wrong and took a long time bc the guy was on his phone the whole time. Ordered a largel for my fiance and a regular for me and they're the same size. Ordered brown rice, ended up with white. Multiple toppings on both missing. Barely any fish on either. The whole place smelled overwhelmingly like fry oil and so did I...
