Terrific Chinese-American fare in Baltimore County: Joey Chiu's

Get the "House Fried Rice"! This is a lesson I have learned not just for Joey Chiu's, but for everywhere. I always thought that "house" meant the plainest option and so, I never ordered it. RoCK dispelled me of that notion, letting me know that it's just the opposite! It's got a bit of everything that's in the kitchen.This rice was filled with lots of pork, big white meat chicken pieces and huge, tender shrimp. Very flavorful!Orange chicken might be a traditional (safe) choice to order, but at Joey Chiu's, they do it well. This very generous portion (very shareable) was made of only the thickest, juiciest white breast meat. The sauce had a lightness and sweetness that was pleasantly unexpected; usually, orange chicken ends up swimming in a corn syrup mess. It was served with some snow pea pods on the bottom.Dinner at Joey Chiu's started out with a bowl of complimentary fried wanton wrappers, served with duck sauce and hot mustard. Then, came the marvelous crispy fried duck (pictured above). It was served with fresh lemon to squeeze on it, with a nice salt and pepper seasoning.  The skin was crispy and fried, while the meat was tender and fatty inside. I had some leftover and it was even better the next day!View the list »

Restaurants newsletter

There's a reason why Joey Chiu's keeps winning awards from Baltimore magazine: this Greenspring Station restaurant definitely knows how to please the crowds. The spacious place has a popular and lively bar area, dining room and private/special event room. Decor is more suburban-80's than traditional Asian.

The ingredients are of top notch quality and portions are quite generous. I describe the restaurant as being Chinese-American, because local Maryland ingredients such as jumbo lump crab meat are used, rather than the more exotic types of ingredients one might find at a dim sum. Seasonings are American palate familiar, such as salt and white pepper. I had a very tasty dinner here -- read the list to find out more!
