On the way back home from the Bay Area and decided to stop by for ramen at 88 Bao Bao. First time…read morevisiting 88 Bao Bao so I was excited to check out this place. And it did not disappoint! This spot is located in a shopping plaza and there are plenty of parking. Inside is well organized and clean with plenty of dining tables and cool wall decors. There is a wall-mounted TV displaying the culture. Once inside, I was greeted and welcomed to pick any open table. There is a table-top digital touch pad which displays the full menu and browse through to select items to order including drinks except for water which can be requested from the server. Many different selections for ramen flavor and dim sum!! Placed an order the following: ***Wonton ramen with bok choy and egg, mild spiciness $15.99 - 5/5 ***Shrimp and pork shaomai $13.95 - 5/5 ***Green tea (cold) $3 - 4/5 The server also provided some water as requested. The wonton ramen was sooo good and delicious! And I love bok choy anytime! The shrimp and pork shaomai was very savory and tasty! The chili sauce could be a bit more spicy but it was still good! The green tea cold drink was very refreshing and soothing, especially on a hot day. Staff are very friendly and courteous. Great customer service and very respectful. Will be back again when in the area. I highly recommend!

Oooh things have changed since I last came here. They have tablets at table side to place your…read moreorder now. Which is nice. I think they should give you an option to pay at the tablet too though, instead of going to the front counter. I imagine the lineup can still get long if it is busy. But it worked out for us on the day that my friend and I came. It did not take long after we placed our order for each of the items to come out. I appreciated that they brought the sweet item last as our "dessert". I am excited that 88Bao Bao has expanded their menu options too! For example, the cute panda custard bun is something I haven't tried before. It's not as cute as the pictures though, just keep in mind hahah. I have to say, though, a lot of the prices have gone up since the last time I was here; and between two people who had ordered about four or five dishes, two fruit drinks, with taxes and tip it up to $95! I think this place does well for their dumplings and xiao long bao. The wonton chili oil wasn't as flavorful or spicy as I am used to at other Chinese restaurants. For the small space, they certainly use it well with several tables available. They keep the dining area and the bathroom relatively clean as well. The restaurant was 3/4 full when we were there, but still not too noisy that you couldn't have conversations. The TV plays random YouTube music videos. Overall, a decent experience. I like that they had expanded their menu options and provide a tablet to order at the tables. I just hope that they can maintain the quality of their many items. It has gotten a little more expensive, understandably, so I don't imagine coming back too often. I always love their guava fruit drink though so I do recommend that.

It's an excellent place to go rather than going to a traditional dim sum restaurant. We came yesterday and filled out a sheet of their menu and how many quantities we wanted. My wife and I enjoyed their pork sui mai and pork & shrimp chive dumpling. The sui mai prices are big and full of flavor. I highly recommend dipping each item into their house made chili oil. The crispy shrimp balls were on the smaller end but they were still delicious. Their pineapple bun is also delicious and has a nice crisp texture. Their black bean spare rib with rice noodles isn't bad either but could be a bit more flavorful and seasoned more; most of the time it was bland. As far as drinks, I recommend their Hong Kong Tea (iced) and Thai tea. Both are sweetened perfectly and pairs nicely after each bite. I can't wait to come back again!

It was a decent sized room and gave everyone a good chance to catch up and reconnect. They also had a karaoke machine, but my family spent so much time catching up that we forgot about it. My only issue was that a few of the chairs had a bunch of crumbs, which we told the waitresses about and they cleaned up quickly. The food was delicious here! We all especially loved the honey walnut prawns and the lobster noodles. They were perfectly cooked and so flavorful. Some dishes like their fried rice and soup could have used a bit more salt, but they were fine to eat with the rest of the dishes that were brought out. My personal favorite was the peking duck with steamed buns. The crispy duck skin paired well with the soft, steamed bun. Another plus is that the portions here are huge! Some other restaurants will give just enough prawns per person for a table, but they gave extra. After this experience, I'm looking forward to coming back to try their dim sum.

We've had dim sum with cousins several times. Last month,…read moreour cousin organized 3 tables for a Sunday dim sum cousins reunion luncheon. We devoured Baked BBQ pork buns, Steamed sticky rice in lotus leaf, Green onion pancake, Beef chow fun, Baked egg custard tarts, Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce, Prawns with honey glazed walnuts, Baked BBQ pork buns with crispy top, Shrimp dumplings, BBQ pork rice noodles, Scallop and shrimp dumplings, and Shrimp pork dumplings. The only negative was the small portion size of the honey walnut shrimp. Our party was seated in the back of the upstairs room, so it was a little quieter than the main dining room downstairs. Lots of dim sum choices. We were able to find parking on a busy Sunday with just a little effort in the shopping center parking lot.

Susie lives in the Bay Area and chose this restaurant. I was skeptical about keeping the cost low as we were having dim sum. I was afraid it would be outrageously expensive and not filling enough. She proved me wrong. Excluding the tea and other drinks it came to $30 per person and that included tax and tip. This was cheaper then the last banquet we had and I actually enjoyed most of the dishes here. The only dish I didn't have was the scallop and shrimp dumplings as the order came out with only 3 and there was 11 us at the table. I'm not sure how that was supposed to feed the table. We arrived at 11:10am and to ensure we weren't late. The parking lot was packed when we arrived. Saying that we only had to go up and down two isles to find a parking space. I have to add that the parking spaces were tight. We had the Honda Pilot and it barely fit in a space and that isn't the biggest car out there. We were told that our table was on the 2nd floor and to go to the side door. We walked around the side and found a door. There was not signage indicating it was part of the restaurant. The right side was locked, but the left side was unlocked. When we entered we were warmed with a sigh that said the floor was wet and to beware of slipping. They had a staircase to the left and a elevator to the right. That was a blessing, I know some of our party wouldn't have made it to the banquet with out the elevator. When we exited the elevator we were met by a staff member with their cart waiting to do downstairs. So the elevator serves guests and staff alike. When we got out of the elevator the staff member pointed us down the hall. We stopped at the bathroom on the way down the hall. Once we found the restaurant we were pointed to the back where we joined our party. We had 3 tables in the back which was nice. It beats being out in the open and disturbing everyone as we stood around chit chatted prior to being served. I felt bad for the table of 2 that were posted right next to the wall near our party. They just had a bad table. All the other tables upstairs were farther away and didn't feel like they were in our space. I have to add that the service was great. They kept coming to refill the waters and tea pot with tea, not just hot water. And we never felt rushed. We had a nice table on the edge of our tables agains the wall that we were able to hang our family tree. We are all 1st, 2nd and 3rd cousins and some of us have never met the others before so we really needed a family tree that color coded what generation you were. My favorite dish was the steamed sticky rice in Lotus root, next was the BBQ Pork Buns, third was the shrimp and pork dumplings. Though I don't recall seeing any shrimp in those dumplings.Thought they were big and meaty. My least favorite was the green onion pancake. It just wasn't fluffy and flakey. It was too dense and lacked flavor. And a little greasy. We had 12 dishes and were filled with some chow fun left over. The chow fun wasn't that great. It was filled with beef which was good, but it lacked sauce and the noodles weren't all that.

Then they add an 18% service fee that…read morethey specifically stated that it is not a tip, but instead goes toward employee wages, benefits, and operational costs. I don't understand why customers should be responsible for covering the restaurant's internal expenses on top of already expensive menu prices. The explanation for this service fee is only in English displayed at the bottom of their menu, even though most customers are Chinese. Many people would never know what they're being charged for. It feels inconsiderate and misleading. Overall, the experience was disappointing and not worth the money. 写这条评论是为了提醒华人顾客注意。鲤鱼门的菜品一般，价格本来就偏高。结账时还会自动加上 18% 的服务费，并且特别注明这不是小费，而是员工薪资、福利和运营成本。 我不理解为什么餐厅的内部成本要由顾客来承担，尤其是在菜价已经这么贵的情况下。 更不妥的是，这段说明只有英文，大部分华人顾客根本不会注意到。让人觉得不够体贴，也不够透明。 整体体验非常失望，不值得这个价钱。

I tried the following for dinner: - Tomato Beef w/ White Rice - Siu Mai Dumplings In terms of the Tomato Beef with rice, I wasn't personally a fan of the dish. I wanted to be adventurous with trying something new, since I typically default to Beef & Broccoli, Chow Mein, Mongolian Beef, Walnut Shrimp, etc. I will say that I did consume the beef pieces along with the rice (not too many of the tomato pieces, though). The dish was an acquired taste. I'm glad I tried it, but it's something I will not get again. The Siu Mai Dumplings (shrimp & pork filling) were INCREDIBLE! They were so palatable and delicious to enjoy in every single bite. I usually pair soy sauce with dumplings. They were so good that soy sauce was not even needed! I look forward to trying more dishes from Oriental Chef. I will definitely get the dumplings again in the near future.

We were instructed to come up to the register to order when ready, and the food would be brought out.

FOOD - Cucumber Salad - Shumai - Pork XLB - Chili Wontons We ordered these four items along with drinks, and everything was DELICIOUS. The quality is evident, as they prepare everything in-house, steaming and cooking each dish to order. The staff were very friendly, and the kitchen was busy with many people cooking and prepping. My FAV was the shumai. These were juicy and so flavorful. I look forward to returning to try more menu items!

Smaller restaurant, maybe 10-14 total tables. Light decor. With a see through window into the kitchen. When you enter you are pointed to a table. They drop down menus but you walk to the cashier to order. We ordered the following: Popcorn chicken Crab and pork xiao long bao (8) Lo mein Pan fried pork buns (4) Popcorn chicken doesn't feel like they skimp and have good size chunks of chicken. Feels like Taiwanese fried chicken from your local boba shop. Xiao long bao was the star of the order, solid soup dumplings with great filling and broth. Pan fried pork buns, second favorite dish. Similiar as in a broth on the interior but purely pork. The bun is more of a softer bread you would get in like siopao in Filipino dishes. Quick service, food comes out quick, and plenty of portions that we eventually take home left overs. Staff is friendly and quick to clear tables. Highly recommend to stop by.
