Best restaurants near me in Coral Hills, MD

12/10/24 didn’t know what to expect as we were hoping for chef Edward lee’s presence, but wasn’t banking on it. Soon as we walked through the door, there he was and our excitement just rose through the roof. First course at the bar was a mandoo with all sorts of flavor profile you never expect from a dumpling. Sweet, acidic, sour, umami, it had everything in a small bite to launch off your culinary adventure. We then were escorted into main dining room where we were able to have a closer look at their kitchen and have another bite sized deliciousness of Saam, which was so clean in plate and fragrance of sesame leave set the tone of Korean cuisine expedition. Third course, the soon tofu soup……. So unexpected, so refined, and clean taste, it was most unexpected flavor punch of the night and to me the favorite course of entire meal. After that, we got the chef’s version of bibimbop. Then comes a dish surprised me which reminded me of traditional duwein Jang Jo gae that has pungent smell of fermented soy bean, which I thought no way he would out this on fine dining but yes he did, and he did not hold back on full flavor profile of Jjang and as I was eating the fish I was so proud that the could represent a Korean dish in such fine tuned way. Then next course was main course od protein which can’t go wrong and it came for time for dessert which ended up being my 2nd favorite dish of the night as it had salty, sweet, sour, all types of flavor, but I never expected to get umami taste out of noo roong ji, which was a huge surprise for me. We were able to take picture with chef Edward Lee and see him in person which was a icing on top, but impeccable attention to detail on dining experience from Shia team has left us with unforgettable memory and experience. Special thanks to Joe for making us feel at home and experiencing Korean “Jung aka service” first hand going above and beyond to make this night to Rember an cherish.

Delicious and very good value for the quality of the offerings. These people love food and it really shows. The service team was also very accommodating of a food allergy in our group.

Awesome experience from the hostess to the waitress! I will definitely brunch here again!

Our waitress was delightfull and the servers and table clearers were prompt and helpful. We had a reservation and arrived before all of our party arrive we were seated. The fixed price menu had extensive options. We tried many. I ate the vegetarian dishes and all were exceptional. The mushroom crepe was outstanding.

Restaurant Review I recently had the pleasure of dining at Caruso’s Grocery, and it was truly a memorable experience from start to finish. First and foremost, the service was impeccable. The waitstaff were attentive without being intrusive, ensuring our glasses were never empty and checking in at just the right moments. They were knowledgeable about the menu and even offered thoughtful recommendations that turned out to be perfect. The food was outstanding—every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. I had the chicken parm and you can tell the kitchen takes pride in using fresh, high-quality ingredients. As for the drinks, they were just as impressive. The cocktail menu was creative and well-executed, with something for every palate. The pomegranate lemonade was flavorful and very well presented. Overall, Caruso’s Grocery offers a top-tier dining experience with exceptional food, drinks, and service. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a great night out, I highly recommend it. I’ll definitely be back!
