The latest on Asian Court
I just heard from Sam Louie, the owner of the soon-to-be-opened Asian Court at 9180 Baltimore National Pike in Ellicott City. He's hoping for an opening date of Feb. 5, but maybe I better just say early next month.
Louie, a native of China, says the restaurant will specialize in dim sum. There will be a pushcart on Saturdays and Sundays until 3 p.m., but the items can be ordered from the kitchen any time. When I asked him about the rest of the menu, he said, "authentic Chinese, sushi, and American Chinese."
Louie and his wife also own Asian Bistro in Silver Spring, and in the '80s, they had Jade Palace in Columbia. Louie is also involved with the China City stalls in several area mall food courts.

Any update on the opening? Are they still on for tonight, or delayed?

Opened last night, and I went with two friends. Huge menu, some service and "lost in translation" language glitches, but worth checking out. I expect that eventually, it will become clear what parts of the menu are their strengths, and at that point, one can focus on what they do particularly well.
