Angus in Canton: Premium Proteins & a Seafood Edge
Alright SO, I recently checked out a new spot that just opened in Canton. I was recently invited by Angus to experience their new AYCE concept, located right above Baltimore Seafood. The interior is sleek, the space feels cool and modern, and the service during my visit was genuinely friendly and attentive.
Another great reason to make the trip to this stretch of Boston Street: Thai-Lao Garden is right in the same building, serving Lao and Thai food that’s genuinely hard to find anywhere else in Baltimore.
Three AYCE Options to Choose From
What makes Angus K BBQ unique is their tiered AYCE menu – you can choose from three different levels depending on what you’re in the mood for:
- Essentials $38 per person: Pork belly, squid, garlic shrimp, and other basics
- Classics $58 per person: Lamb chops, beef tongue, salmon, and more
- Premium $88 per person: Lobster tail, wagyu cuts, scallops, and additional high-end proteins
NOTE: if you choose a higher priced tier, you can order from any of the previous proteins listed. I ended up trying a mix of items across the tiers: miso butter scallops, lobster tail, wagyu cuts, filet mignon, lamb chops, galbi, and bulgogi.
The seafood was a standout for me – the scallops were big and fresh, and the lobster tail was tasty as well. It makes sense considering they have a seafood boil restaurant downstairs; that experience clearly carries over into their sourcing and prep. The lamb chops were another highlight, and I liked that they served it with a cumin shaker for flavor.
A Few Things to Know
The wagyu cuts could’ve been a bit fresher, but honestly, they were solid for an AYCE spot. Just note that there are limits on how many orders of certain items you can get, so double-check with your server.
The galbi and bulgogi marinades weren’t my favorite and leaned away from what I’d expect from a traditional KBBQ flavor profile. That leads me to my next point: I wouldn’t view this as a traditional Korean BBQ restaurant. And that’s totally fine, just helpful to know so you go in with the right expectations. Their strength is definitely in offering AYCE premium proteins, especially if you enjoy variety and seafood.
For sides, I tried the karaage, spicy fishcake, cucumber salad, jalapeños, and garlic slices. I ended up eating most of my proteins with jalapeños, garlic, and gochujang, but my honest tip: focus on the proteins and skip the sides.
FYI: I also tried their Lychee Martini, and that was a tasty, refreshing surprise. Have you guys been to this new spot yet? If yes, let me know your thoughts by commenting below.
