I've been going to Bo Lings my whole life, plaza location especially. I've always loved it. Best Chinese food in kc area. Service has always been great. I like to modern vibe. When I learned that it was bought out by Vinzant I was nervous for the future of this place. Nothing against Vinzant, just worried for the restaurant I love so much. I went like a month or two after they reopened and didn't love the experience. The food especially just wasn't the same at all. But it's been some time now. I've been back 3 times in the last few months--two work events and again tonight on my own. Whatever wasn't working before, is resolved. Loved my last 3 times there so that's why I'm writing my review. 3 great experiences, 3 great meals. I'm so happy to see Bo Lings plaza continue to be amazing read more

Buyer beware, especially if you have allergies or special diet needs: We decided to try this restaurant due to their vegan options; made all needs clear when placing the order and verified when picking it up, we were told there were no animal products in any of the food. After the 1/2 hour drive home: lo and behold, there was chicken in my dish and egg in my husband's. We were told that we could have it replaced by driving the hour round trip and bringing the food we couldn't eat with us. Seriously? I said I'm disabled and my husband is a full time caregiver but we are supposed to spend an hour of our time fixing your restaurant's mistake? How is that a fix?... Maybe I can text a photo of the food issues? "No you have to bring it here. Sorry that's our policy." So. They don't care about us, our financial support of their business or apparently even our health because when you haven't eaten animal products for a long time it makes you sick. But they simply do not care. If you choose to support them be aware that their promises are 100% unreliable. read more

We walked in and were ignored by the two people at the Hostess stand for a good 5 minutes. Then we were seated with no words by the lame host. Our server was nice. The hot and sour soup was neither. Room temp. Drinks came after the apps. I ordered Dan Dan noodles with pork. Very hot. No flavor. They used spaghetti noodles. Not rice noodles. Never again. Nope. Pass. read more

Bo Lings - You can see the chicken in it - Dim Sum Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

My son chose this spot for lunch, and overall, I'd say it was okay. It wasn't the best Chinese food I've had, but definitely not the worst either. The portion sizes were great and very filling, but the flavor just wasn't there for me. My son enjoyed his meal more than I did. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was great. Overall, not a bad lunch just not really for me. read more

Curbside pickup is still convenient & fast for Asian Heritage formerly Bo Lings. Placed the order (Shrimp rolls and Shrimp Fried rice) over the phone with specific request to include sweet and sour sauce but no duck or other sauce. We don't like to waste food. Actual pickup was a breeze, simply pull up to a number either on side or in front of the building, then call to let them know what number I was at. read more

Bo Lings is one of my favorite places in Kansas City. The revive is always friendly and I absolutely love how the restaurant is styled. It's a darker atmosphere with an upscale feeling, yet moderate prices. I'm basic, and beef and broccoli is my usual go to, since it can never disappoint. The dumplings are also well done. read more

Bo Lings is one of my go to places for Chinese food in Kansas City and the quality never lacks. Their cashew chicken is my favorite dish (maybe ever??) and it is consistently delicious which really matters to me with Chinese food. My partner is loyal to their steamed soup dumplings and swears they are to die for. Flavor wise, this place is phenomenal. Service was a little slow, but not in a way that ruined anything. Once the food landed hot and delicious, we were too happy to care. The only downside was the smell inside this location. There was a strong sewage stink the whole time and it definitely took away from the dining in experience. Because of that, I probably would not come back to this location, but Bo Lings food overall is amazing and absolutely worth trying. If you come here and are sensitive to smells.. maybe just get takeout because the food is worth it here! read more

Bo Lings has always had great food, especially this location. They just finally stopped doing the mandatory 20% gratuity for carry out orders. now that the World Cup has ended. Yes, it's expensive food but well worth it, as long as I don't have to pay the mandatory gratuity lol The new interior is gorgeous and it's fun to go for happy hour. read more

What a gem! while traveling, my wife and I found Bo Lings. (THANK YOU YELP!). What an amazing restaurant! Great atmosphere, fantastic service, and the food? OMG! Some of the best Chinese we've ever had...Really! It was obvious that any of the items we ordered were made fresh and from scratch! We had the stir fried beans starter (awesome, with perfect spice), Wonton soup..with just enough fat glistening on the surface to add that homemade taste! Had rolled egg rolls...full of meat, not just cabbage! HOT SPICEY yellow mustard dip...amazing! My hoy and sour beef was phenomenal! Highly recommend! read more

I haven't been to Bo lings in forever and thought I'd give them a go with their new revamp becoming heritage by Bo lings. I went for their Monday happy hour and was pleasantly suprised at the offerings and prices for their HH. I got the crab Rangoons and dumplings to start on their HH menu with the spiked seltzer. Our waitress could have been a bit more accommodating with how plating food was done given the allergies mentioned. I ordered the general taos and had to remind the waitress to bring out the rice that was included in the meal after 30 min of receiving it. I was kinda disappointed with my overall experience here given the new revamp of management. While the happy hour menu is great, I feel the flavor profiles don't necessarily compete with the other Asian spots in Kansas City. read more

Bo Lings is usually a safe bet for service and tasty food but New Years Day was unusual. We were seated quickly at 2:40 pm but it was then a 15 min wait for drink orders and yet another 10-15 min for the appetizer order. The steamed dumplings were over cooked, leading to a deconstructed dumpling :-) the taste just wasn't up to par with the MANY times we have been to Bo Lings. As well the cost has went up so much and the over 10% KC tax is way too much. Overall will try again but honestly stepping out to Platte City or another burb is just as good these days, unfortunately. read more

I loved this place growing up. Now, it serves the most god awful food. So disappointing and sad that a KC staple has fallen so far.

I had not been to Bo Lings in a long time but was pleasantly surprised that it was just as good as I remembered. They have done a complete remodel and it is beautiful. I visited for their dim sum menu and the outstanding dish was the soup dumplings, hard to find in KC. read more

It seems Bo Lings has really stepped up its game with the new renovations! Looks NOTHING like the pictures you see on yelp. The new interior is absolutely stunning--perfect for special family gatherings, date nights, or when you're simply in the mood for something a little more upscale. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with an elevated touch that makes dining here feel like an experience. Service was excellent, attentive without being intrusive. And...The dim sum! Easily the best I've had in KC. While it doesn't quite reach the legendary status of Tim Ho Wan in Hong Kong, it comes close enough to curb the craving. Mind you, if you're a true dim sum fanatic, this might be a bit disappointing. But TRULY, the best dim sum you'll find in KC. My recs: * turnip cake (10/10) made me reminisce my Hong Kong days * Shrimp Wrapped in Rice Paper (9/10) sauce was a bit too sweet * xiao long bao (5/10) scratched the itch but came nowhere close to the real stuff. rakar's tastes better. * singaporean noodles (6/10) too spicy and had a grainy taste. But the shrimp was good! We're always on the lookout for new asian spots in the area, and I can say without a doubt that Bo Lings has made it to our eat-out rotation. read more

Oh my how far we've fallen. I was looking forward to taking guests here after my event and was severely disappointed, but couldn't show it. I didn't know until I entered the restaurant that this Bo Lings location is now co-owned(?) by another management company. The only good thing about this restaurant anymore is that the decor has stayed the same. Had I known the food would be bland, soggy, and undercooked I would have opted to go to PF Chang's instead where it's consistent. Hell, even Panda Express would have had better food. The food here was not good at all. Tasted worse than a microwave meal. Server became combative with us right off the bat because he was told by the hostess that there would be 10 guests and we were confused because there were only 6 of us when he brought out 10 drinks. We never had 10 people with us, nor were we ever expecting more people to join. So either there was a miscommunication between the restaurant worker or the man was delusional and imagining things, which doesn't matter. Learn how to keep your frustrations to yourself when working in the service industry. Would not be back here. My guests will not be back here. When my other friends asked where we went out to eat after my event I replied, "We went to Bo Lings on the Plaza, but the food is terrible now." I'm sorry I even suggested this place. read more

My cookie had no fortune. They didn't give me chopsticks because my name is too white.

The newer restaurant / management has dramatically pared down the dim sum menu to almost not existence. We ordered xia long bao which came out completed raw. The manager was in denial at first however ended up bringing replacements and comp'd us. Overall service was rough and food was mediocre. read more

Checked out Heritage Bo Ling's after their remodel and the place looks amazing! Their new bar is perfect for happy hour after work and their menu is even better. Can't go wrong with crab Rangoon of course and they have several HH menu items that are delish. Plus you can never go wrong with a cocktail. Check them out! read more

My server, Daniel, was very friendly and attentive. He did a great job explaining the menu and making recommendations. We ordered the edamame, crab rangoon, and the Vegas Roll, along with a glass of rosé. The rosé had a nice, balanced flavor (much better than I've had at some other places), and the Vegas Roll was also good. The restaurant has a quiet, relaxing atmosphere, and around 6:00 PM it started filling up for dinner. The interior is actually larger than it appears from the outside, and the ambiance is very nice. Overall, I'd definitely come back. read more

I don't care if this food taste so good it makes me sing like Maynard James Keenan--this is what you call a win-loose business. They don't care if their customers loose as long as they win every single little penny they can out of their pockets. E.g. if you want to substitute broccoli for carrots because you're allergic: cha-ching, that'll be an additional $3 (more than an entire bunch of broccoli, or bag of frozen), or maybe just cut out the carrots and add more zucchini: $3...more than three individual squash. Want to leave out the carrots and not sub anything, the price stays the same. We need to collective stop giving business like this our business, they don't deserve customers. read more

My husband found this place while I was shopping at the Country Club Plaza! We are from Texas and have our favorite local spots, but was excited after seeing their menu! The pan fried dumplings were my husbands favorite! Everything is fresh and amazing! We had a new server and he messed up our order, but we were happy with the food, that it really wasn't a big deal! Plus, everyone should be kind to people when they are starting out a new job, mistakes happen! The restaurant was quiet and dark, made for a relaxing dinner after a long day of exploring! read more

WARM SUPPLE BUNS. @heritagebybolings hit it out of the park! Their revamped menu and decor was perfectly and meticulously done. The food was spot on. Service was incredible. The chef really cares and he even sent us a plate of shishito peppers. Drinks were incredible as well! Also a great value for a ton of delicious food. Definitely will be coming back! read more

I was looking for a good dim sum place in Kansas City and Bo Lings is very promising! There is limited parking in the plaza around the area but there is a parking garage across from Panera that is a pretty short walk to the restaurant. We came on a Saturday afternoon and it was surprisingly not busy. Since there wasn't a lot of people, it was clean and had overall quiet vibes! There were plenty of servers to help us and refill our waters. Food also came out quickly after we ordered. To order, you make the menu with how many orders of each dish you want, so it's not traditional push cart. The food came out hot and was seasoned very well. I'm excited to come back and get the other dumplings we didn't get to try! read more

We were in the mood for Chinese food. Stop in here for dinner for the first time at the Plaza location. Restaurant is being remodeled. We got seated right away. Staffs was very nice and friendly. Pricing reasonable. Lots of selection on menu. We started off with crab Rangoon. So good with the sweet dipping sauce. For my entree, I ordered Moo Shu for the first time. It comes with a flour tortilla wrap. It was okay but probably not my favorite. Just noticed for a Chinese restaurant, there's no Asian in sight eating here. It is mostly Caucasian American. read more

The fried rice looks incredible but is somehow extremely bland?? It's straight up cream-of-no-taste. If they put as much money into their ingredients as they did their decor, this place might do better. read more

Great food and a gorgeous restaurant... weirdly I recommend going to the bathroom because it's so nice in there haha. Service was prompt and they check on you pretty frequently. The food came out hot and pretty quickly (to be fair we were there right when they opened so not sure how things would fare if we were there during busy hours), tasted great and was not a bad place to get dim sum to my surprise! read more

Bo Lings - Shrimp har gow, shu mai, roast duck, tripe, shrimp rice paper roll, turnip cake - Dim Sum Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Good place for dim sum and Chinese food. The place has been revamped and it looks pretty nice.

Been going to Bo Lings for over 2 decades now, still miss the original location in the Board of Trade Buidling, but it never disappoints. There aren't too many options for good dim sum in the city but this is at the top of the list. If you've never had dim sum, it's a Chinese style meal including classic dishes that are served on small plates and you choose a la carte style. Prior to the pandemic they would bring the food around on carts, but that has since changed and you order everything up front. In terms of food, standouts always includes the Siu mai (shrimp/pork dumplings), baked and steamed bbq buns, mixed noodles dish, sliced bbq pork, and har gow (steamed shrimp dumplings). If you are feeling adventurous you can order items such as chicken feet and tripe. On the sweeter side we always love the fried sesame seed balls and the mango pudding, also the egg custard tarts. Bo Lings has been owned by the same family since the beginning and has been a tradition for my family to eat dim sum on a Saturday or Sunday day. There is nothing better than sitting at these tables sharing food with your family. They are also open for lunch and dinner with classic Chinese American dishes. My recommendation is to come hungry! read more

We enjoyed two noodle dishes a lot but besides that the food lacked flavor. It was okay. Come out fast and hot though. It was our first time there and it would have been nice if how everything worked was explained to us. My husband ordered a beer it never came to us and I ordered a drink and it tasted like cough syrup. I let the waiter know it wasn't edible and he apologized and took it off our tab. read more

I had a to go order of generals chicken and crab rangoon yesterday. It was supposed to be ready around 625 which is when I got there. It was busy per usual and my order wasn't ready so I waited. No big deal. They have a nice waiting area. About ten minutes go by and they call my name and when I go to get my order the expo noticed something wrong and returned the bag to the kitchen. I didn't ask any questions and I just continued to wait. A long line ensued and a manager had to jump in to get all the orders out. It got hectic quick and my order got lost in the shuffle. I stood there unnoticed and I asked about my order. We're at twenty minutes now. "Is the order for Paul B ready?" Politely the holster bearing rim glasses wearing manager asked for the name and I told him. Then he had an epiphany, "wait, are you a door dash driver?" Yes I answered. His demeanor and tone shifted immediately. Mind you there is no more line, all the orders are gone and no one is in the to go lobby except me. This dude has no idea about my order, what happened, how long I'd been waiting. He knew nothing and then he belittled me. He thought so little of me because I'm a door dash driver. "How long were you told the wait would be?" he asked. I said she didn't give me a wait time and I tried to explain and he shooed me away. "Ok well go sit over there and we'll let you know when it's ready." I'll stay right here! They figured it out. I got the order. I was slightly offended though. I said I'm just trying to do what your company signed up for and deliver food, you don't have to be a jerk. He goes, "ok well go do your job!" Shooing me off again! I say FU pal and I give him the bird. He instantly grabs the third party tablet to cancel me no doubt, which sucks because I pick up a lot. If your restaurant is failing in anyway in customer service, staff retention and training it's because your "leader" is abusive. This is probably happening everyday and will happen again. I gave 5 stars bc I get it! read more
