Beyond Ramen & Kabob 江湖小馆 - Ellicott City, Maryland

These are the best Chinese style kabobs stateside since moving back to MD.

Good price. Good value. Good flavor. Good portions.

I lived in Beijing and Shanghai for over a decade. This is the perfect blend of high-quality US meat with authentic Chinese flavors.

Highly recommend.

nice spot. everything came put hot always a plus. I enjoyed my chicken ramen it was flavored well and not salty. I could barely taste the salt. a huge plus for me. the satay beef and shrimp were too spicy for my taste buds, but my companion enjoyed them. he likes spicy. But they both were well seasoned well and the beef tender. the Chinese chashu buns were interesting. the bread part reminded me of a crescent roll, which was a plus, but the meat inside needed more flavor. I think I would add some peppers and mushrooms to it. But i would recommend this dish. I think i had a different variation of this dish at another place their buns were made differently. my companion had i believe the spicy tantan ramen. he enjoyed it. noodles cooked well. he said the right amount of spice and not salty. we also had not pictured chicken wings, which he said was bland no seasoned. and the chicken karage, which reminded me of the nuggets from Chick fil a only because of the shape. but these were seasoned well. I ate them without the sauce. and they give you plenty of this. u could actually eat this as a meal. also, I wonder how they would taste in the chicken ramen broth. u know now, I think of it. The breading on this chicken reminded me of Washington's chicken breading with less salt. all in all, a cozy spot to catch a good meal. Definitely will try again

My family and I decided to try this restaurant, and it did not disappoint!!

We ordered the lamb and beef skewers (not pictured), and the seasoning on them was absolutely amazing. We also got the half duck—just WOW. The duck was incredibly tender, and we devoured it so quickly.

The star of the show, though, was the ramen. Pictured is the Tonkotsu Black Garlic Oil Ramen. The broth was rich and full of flavor, and the pork practically melted in our mouths.

Ramen with other Chinese dishes. Crispy pork was okay. Didn't like the crispy fish, it was mostly batter. Dumplings were not the styles that I like. It was the soft skin "watery" type. Ramen was ok. The waitress had a little hard time understanding when we asked her to break a five.

After several visits of this place, we can say that we Love Love their kabobs: beef, lamb, cow throat, heart, liver, chives, mushrooms…etc , all super tasty. The wagyu kabob is $10 per piece.

Their dumplings are so-so, sometimes came with half of the wraps broke. Don’t recommend. But chicken pot stickers are good.

More dishes added to their recent menu, definitely check them out.

Inside of The restaurant looks clean and service has been pretty good. Do recommend by @winedinenvacay

The skewers are amazingly delicious! I love the squid and scallops, and the beef was also juicy. The beef pancake （肉夹馍）was probably the best in the area; super crispy outside and tender inside. They are just soft opening. It’s a small cozy space, and the staffs are super friendly. It’s definitely a hidden gem.

Very tasty Chinese kabobs. We ordered the double cooked pork and many different kinds of kabobs. Enjoy everything. The meat skewers are tender inside and crispy outside. Their grilled chives are also flavorful. The whole squid is also tender and seasoned right. The only complaint is that the seasoning is a bit too much for chives. Their sticky sweet rice dish is a bit sweeter than I like. I wish the inside doesn't have syrup. So that the outside will remain crispy and the inside will be chewy. Will come again.

I went for the very first time the other day and it was so amazing! Loved the skewers (got beef and cut squid) and they were so yummy and juicy! I went with my boyfriend and we also ordered ramen! He got the tonkatsu black garlic ramen and I got the beef shoyu ramen! The portions were so good for the price and the taste was amazing! It’s such a quaint restaurant, we loved it! Ordering and paying was so easy and convenient. You can order by yourself by scanning a QR code on the table or tell it to your server! You can only pay online if you ordered via the QR code but it was so easy! You do have to register and create an account but that process itself took less than a minute! Parking wasn’t bad and when we went (Tuesday around 2pm) it wasn’t that busy with no wait to be seated! We can’t wait to go back to try their other ramens and skewers! Total price paid for 2 skewers and 2 ramen: $36-$37. Not too bad compared to other ramen places that charge much more!
