Best Farm To Table Restaurants in Dundalk

SHIA is a phenomenal restaurant and lives up to the excellence and creativity of Chef Edward Lee. We went there for our anniversary and they made it so special. It is an intimate and luxurious restaurant, with lovely music. I liked that the dining room wasn’t loud like most city restaurants. We loved the Korean-inspired cuisine. As usual, Chef Lee puts his creative magic touch to combine interesting flavors, textures, temperatures, and cultures in ways that you can’t replicate at home and will never get anywhere else. The service was superb — very personalized and personable. The staff was very knowledgeable about all the ingredients and answered our questions thoroughly. I first discovered Chef Lee at a charity event over a decade ago when he prepared half of the dinner courses. He outshone the other chef and I learned that he would soon be appearing on Iron Chef (which he won). I told him then that he would one day cook for the Korean Embassy or White House—and he has! We are huge fans of Chef Lee, having dined at 610 Magnolia (Louisville, KY) and Succotash (National Harbor/DC). SHIA is his best restaurant yet. I highly recommend that you go before it hits #1 on the Washingtonian. It reminded me of top dishes from Culinary Class Wars (Netflix). I’m going back for my sister’s birthday!

The ambiance was nice but the quality of food was not commensurate with the cost.

Excellent as always. A wonderful experience from appetizers to dessert.

Four of us had lunch here during the week. We were warmly greeted and the service was excellent. The portions were very generous. Three of us had sandwiches and two of us were not fans of their "double dipped" fries which seemed ordinary and not worth the calories. Previously we've enjoyed meals out on the covered patio, but the near 100 degree temperature the day we were there prohibited that! All in all a very pleasant lunch.

Excellent wait service and excellent ambiance. Will definitely return with friends.
