Bao Shi Yi is a Chinese restaurant that offers a variety of dishes, including xiao long bao and scallion pancakes. The food is generally described as good, with the xiao long bao and pork potstickers being the highlights of the meal. Customers have recently praised the freshness of the food, recommending the Fried Dumplings and Soy milk, and noted that the Chinese Hot Sauce is also impressive. However, the service has been reported as poor, with a rude waitress who would "dump" the food towards the customers and "throw" the receipt at them.
The restaurant's interior design has Chinese characteristics, creating a pleasant environment. The lighting is described as "pretty harsh," and the atmosphere is described as a "hole in the wall, low key feeling spot." Menu items like the braised beef soup and popcorn chicken have received mixed reviews, with some customers finding the dishes to be overly spiced and lacking in flavor. The beef rice noodle soup is noted for its texture and inclusion of pickled greens, which some find refreshing.
Despite the mixed reviews, the restaurant seems to have a quick, friendly, and dependable service, although the staff may come off as somewhat short. The xiao long bao and pork potstickers remain the standout dishes. Overall, Bao Shi Yi appears to be a decent Chinese restaurant, though the service and some of the menu items may not meet the expectations of all customers. Some visitors have also mentioned a strange smell in the restaurant, which could affect the dining experience.
