Whenever I see pictures of black holes warping space time, it looks like a sink hole sucking matter in. So, hypothetically, if you were to approach it does it just look the same from all sides, or face a certain direction?

A black hole doesn’t have a front or back, you could fall into it from any direction.
We think most black holes are spinning. The spinning usually causes the matter around the black hole to form a ring, sort of like the rings around Saturn. Because most of the matter around the black hole is in the ring, most of the matter falling into it falls in at the “equator”, but it is still possible for something to enter it from other directions.
