A Plumbing Solution

 Update - 9/17/2009  
I flushed a pair of socks in the toilet. It was an accident. It was early in the morning and the socks dropped after I flushed so I even stuck my hand deep inside the . . . . WWWWAAAAAHHHHHHH but I was too late.

I called A Plumbing Solution. Damien showed up within 20 minutes, brought the snake thingie up, worked hard for 5 minutes, and got the socks out. They were buried deep. He never gave up.

I AM HAPPY!!!!!!!

He waited until I tried to flush 3 times without problems, then he left. BEST PLUMBER EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I got A Plumbing Solution's cell phone number from a friend when I accidentally dropped a crab claw in my garbage disposal. I sent a text message since I really hate yapping on the phone endlessly. Within 5 minutes, a plumbing professional called me back. I explained the problem that my garbage disposal stopped working and I already tried the red button at the bottom. It just won't start up again. He guided me through step by step of how to fix the problem.

    Didn't even charge me a dime. In the future, whenever I have plumbing jobs/problems, I will not hesitate to call A Plumbing Solution.

Decent Xiao Lung Bao. But service was very pre-commercialized mainland Chinese. Very reactive.

Possibly the best crabcakes I've ever had. $12 a piece for the lump, $8 for the back fin. Lump crabcake size was bigger than Eddie's in Charles Village $7, less bread crumb, no eggs, and tasted like they put a bit of thousand island dressing in there. Didn't see any chopped up green herbs.

The back fin was yummy too even without the lumps of crab meat. I thought the ingredients  tasted more integrated.

I would definitely recommend Faidley for the experience of being in downtown Baltimore. Take the bus/subway/light rail!

Right on campus. Decent crabcakes big lumps of crab meat. A lot cheaper than Faidley in Lexington Market and very comparable in taste.

We also sampled the Eddie's oriental noodles. Was too salty to consume. The manager gave us our money back. It was a very nice gesture. See if they improve.

There's nothing to complain about the food. We ordered KalBi and Bulgogi, both super yummy. Panchan were good too. However ...

1. Waitress came to our table and said 3 orders of meat + seafood pancake + dumplings were not acceptable for a party of 5. We must order one more meat. We reluctantly obliged but thought that was odd.

2. We had to ask for a refill of panchan which we never had to do at any Korean BBQ restaurants I've been to.

3. They did not change out the grill half way thru the meal. It was all charred and nasty. I wasn't really bothered by it but it was done to all the other tables. We also did not get the hair blow dryer treatment which was very disappointing =(

service was pretty good considering the wait staff did not speak a word of english to us. i understood some from my long days and nights of watching koreans soap.

food was ok. not spectacular. strawberry blond boy had seafood jae jian myun. he was happy that the sauce was black (authentic korean).

i had kimchi beef fried rice. nothing to write home about.

we just wanted to stuff our faces before going into an asian grocery store. i would recommend trying the food court inside Lotte Supermarket. Cheaper and more variety.

They did offer to refill the pickled daikon frequently tho.

Bon Chon Chicken

We ordered the special which was half soy garlic half spicy with assorted wings and drumsticks. Strawberry blond forgot to call in so we waited for the whole 40 minutes for a plate of fried chicken. A bit too long for my taste.

I liked the soy garlic better than the spicy. Very msg-induced soy flavor. skin super crispy with explosion of flavor but it did not penetrate the meat.

San Tung in San Francisco has something very similar but it takes'em 5 - 10 minutes to make and the flavor gets deeper into the wings' meat. Great China in Berkeley CA has something similar too.

There's no vegetables on the menu but they gave us a small mix it yourself slaw.

Skin still crispy after one night in the fridge . . .

This is worth a try if you're in the neighborhood. Please call ahead to place your order so you don't have to wait for 40 minutes!!!!!

A gem in Baltimore. Authentic Japanese food (may be owned and operated by Koreans) and yummy cooked to order yakitori! Chicken gizzards, Korean beef ribs, bacon wrapped asparagus, bacon wrapped scallops (scallops might not have been the freshest I've had but . . . ).

OPEN TIL 2am MOST NIGHTS!!!!!
