Bao Bei offers an interesting Asian-inspired dining experience with diverse flavors, leaning towards sweet over spicy. The family-style chef's choice menu is a highlight, providing a mind-blowing symphony of flavors. The atmosphere has a cozy and intimate vibe, with a casual setting that feels like dining in an old, nicely decorated Chinese restaurant. Service is wonderful and attentive, with servers offering solid recommendations and explaining the menu clearly. While the food may not be considered authentic Chinese, it is delicious and serves up an elevated, fresh take on traditional dishes. Guests praise the unique food, with special mentions for the fried chicken, crispy tofu, glazed crispy eggplant, and the Kick Ass House Fried Rice, which is described as amazingly flavorful. The crushed cucumber small bites are noted as spicy yet refreshing, and the soy pudding is a light and sweet way to cleanse the palate. Vegetarian options are available, and the cocktails are inventive and fun. Many guests express intentions to return, highlighting the intimate experience and the delightful desserts, such as crème brûlée and ice cream.
