Went for the Lunar New Year dinner. The food was amazing. The staff was even better. The New Moon cocktail was incredible.
Bao Bei completely lived up to the hype. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, with bold flavors that stayed true to classic Chinese cooking while adding a modern twist. The wontons were a standout, and the fried rice had incredible depth without feeling heavy. The cocktails paired surprisingly well with the food, and the staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and happy to make recommendations. The atmosphere is lively without being too loud, making it a great spot for either a...read full review

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. The food may not be considered authentic Chinese, but 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, 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.
The restaurant is designed to introduce Chinese cuisine to non-Asians, with the waitstaff explaining dishes like potstickers, dark vinegar, and Sichuan peppercorns. Guests enjoy the Southeast Asian twist, such as laksa, sweet soy sauce, and other seasonings. The food portions are reasonable, and the cocktails are great. The only disappointment was the overly salty Sable fish. While some guests may not return or recommend it due to the abundance of authentic Asian places in the city, the chefs have created an amazing menu.
