BAOBAO ASIAN EATERY

Wonderful food! Loved everything, especially the buns and the soup dumplings. The peach pork was quite interesting! There was a little wait when we got there but was definitely worth it. The folks were really swamped but super nice.

There’s no service at this place. They need to hire more people! We were given plates but not spoons (essential for eating soup dumplings). The sauces were miss labeled and two out of three of them are the same. No refill on water, and you need to hunt down the only one server in the restaurant to pay. The pictures on the menu showed 8 dumplings per basket, but a basket actually only came with 6, felt scammed. On top of that, 2-3 dumplings were broken per basket. I’d give 6.5/10 for the intact ones, knot on the top was thick and doughy, but the filling was good and soupy. 4/10 for the broken ones. However, the shrimp and loofa dumplings came maybe half an hour after the rest of the food, and it felt like they were made by a different chef or something, the skins were thick, not broken to b

A cool new spot run by an enthusiastic team. You can tell they put a lot of heart into it, the interior is beautiful and makes for a really comfortable meal. We tried the beef noodle soup, prawn potstickers, cucumber salad, and cold beef shank. Everything was authentic and tasty. Definitely a great addition to the neighborhood.

The food was generally good, with generous portions that made it easy to share several dishes across the table. Most items were enjoyable, though the Xiao Long Bao did not stand out, and the scallion pancakes were not to our liking. A few dishes could benefit from slightly stronger seasoning, but overall the flavors were pleasant and most of what we tried was tasty. Prices felt a bit high compared to other Asian restaurants in the area. Ordering is done through an app, which is fairly easy to use. The seating is plain and simple, with comfortable booths. One drawback was the lack of napkins and other basic items at the table, and flagging down servers could be challenging at times. Despite a few misses, the experience was solid overall.

The stir-fried garlic green beans were absolutely delicious. We also tried the soup dumplings, they were good, though they could use a bit ginger flavor. The beef in the noodle soup was very tender, and the noodles were excellent, the broth would be better with less vinegar and a bit more spice. Overall, it’s a great spot that’s above average for Chinese food. I’m looking forward to coming back to try more dishes. Just note that weekend dinners can mean a long wait, hopefully they’ll add an online reservation option soon.
