We recently celebrated a birthday at Hong Bao Kitchen at Yaamava Resort, and the entire experience was absolutely outstanding. From the moment we arrived, everything was handled with care and professionalism, making the celebration feel truly special. The private room was perfect, comfortable, elegant, and ideal for an intimate gathering. The food was exceptional, as always. Every dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavor, reminding us why we keep coming back. It's clear that consistency and quality are a top priority here. What truly made the evening unforgettable, though, was the service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, and we felt genuinely welcomed and appreciated throughout the entire celebration. A special thank you to David, whose service was nothing short of perfect. His professionalism, attention to detail, and warm demeanor elevated the entire experience. We always appreciate our visits here, knowing we can count on both incredible culinary offerings and top-tier service every time. Thank you again for making this birthday celebration so memorable, we look forward to many more wonderful meals in the future. read more

This is my first time at Hong Bao Kitchen located in the fantastic Yaamava casino and resort in Highland, CA. I have a food voucher for $25.00 and decided to use it before losing it. I was quite surprised at how well the dinner went and i'm so glad I chose Hong Bao Kitchen for tonight's dinner instead of their usual Serrano Buffet. Service 5/5 Service was excellent. I believe my server her name was Yuri and Rick also helped out too. Both of them were friendly and super attentive, refilling my empty glass of water without having to ask them. The 2 food items came out at less than 10 mins, which was fairly quick. 3/5 Combo Fried Rice w beef, chk, shrimp The texture of the rice and eggs was nice. The only downside was kinda bland and I didn't taste the char wok flavor. Also, I like my fried rice with more scallions to add more depth to the flavor. The meat was just OK. 4/5 Hong Bao Kung Pao Chk Wow, nice flavor, a bit spicy and flavorful. I wish they had pineapples added in to balance the spiciness if some ppl can't handle the heat. 3/5 Brown Rice nothing special 3/5 Mango Jelly with popping bobas and mochi It was just OK. I was expecting the mango jelly to have more flavor and sweetness, but what really helps is the flavored popping boba along with the mochi to help out. 4/5 Water. I'm not sure if it's filtered or just reg tap water, but it went down smoothly with no harsh chemical smell or taste. Overall, Hong Bao is a good alternative if you want something else than their Serrano Buffet or other food eateries. Hong Bao has a nice Chinese-themed environment along with some of their hostess attire, which is unique to see. Thank you, Hong Bao for a decent dinner. Thank you Yaamava for a great experience and stay. read more

Food: it wasn't too bad, but it wasn't that great either. If you want to try better food at Yamaava, I recommend Serrano Cafe and the buffet. Also, Beats signature burger is really good. I was craving Asian food, but it didn't hit the spot. Shu Mai taste like the frozen package you get at the market. The char siu bao was alright. I think the best was the congee and tea. I also had the beef dish and walnut shrimp the first time. Beef was too salty and shrimp was too bread. 2 stars Service: I went here twice. The first time I had an Asian older man and he was really good. He was well mannered and fast. The second time, I had a middle age asian woman who was really slow. I asked for the check and it took her forever to come to me with the check. I saw her at the POS system punching in the order like for 15 mins. Once she swiped my card and gave me back the receipt to enter the tip amount, she stood right behind me watching how much I will give her. This is so awkward. 1 star I gave the 3 stars for ambiance. Interior is nice and clean. That's it. Avg:2.5 read more

unfortunately it's one I'd recommend avoiding. The food was simply not up to par--it tasted like it wasn't fresh and lacked flavor or quality. It honestly felt like the kind of place people only go to when there aren't better options around. We ordered our food came out less than 10 minutes that's how you know it's not fresh For the prices they charge, the food simply didn't meet even basic expectations. The service didn't make the experience any better. The staff seemed uninterested and not very attentive, ask 3 servers before we got what we need I realized they do not help each other they waited for our busy server to come to us to be able to get a simple sauce service felt below average compared to most restaurants, there was very little effort made to check on how the meal was or if anything was needed. Good service can sometimes make up for mediocre food, but that definitely wasn't the case here. If there's one positive thing to mention, it's that the restaurant itself appeared clean and organized. The dining area looked well maintained, which is always important. However, cleanliness alone isn't enough to make up for poor food quality and lackluster service. Overall, it's not somewhere I plan on returning to, and there are definitely better options out there for the same price or even less. read more

My boyfriend and I went to Hong Bao Kitchen at Yaamava' Resort & Casino for New Year's, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. From the moment we sat down, our server David was incredibly helpful with food selections and provided outstanding service throughout the evening. If you ever go, definitely ask for David--he's truly an amazing human being and made our night even more special. The food was absolutely delicious. We had the sea bass, which was perfectly tender, and the jumbo prawns paired with white peach sake. Not only did everything taste incredible, but the presentation was beautiful as well--the plate was decorated gorgeously. Overall, it was a memorable dining experience, and we can't wait to go back. read more

I recently visited Hong Bao at Yaamava for my dad's birthday, and unfortunately the experience fell short. We had high expectations of this place judging from the review and pictures they presented. We shouldn't have. We ordered 4 dishes - braised pork, honey walnut shrimp, bok choy, Szechuan tofu - and all of them arrived within about 5 minutes after they put the order in. The speed alone made it clear - the food wasn't freshly prepared, and the taste confirmed it. Everything felt reheated rather than cooked to order. While the presentation looked fine, the quality does not justify the cost. Each dish was below average especially compared to the many Chinese restaurants in Rowland Heights. We skipped the duck, and honestly, I'm glad we didn't spend $130 only to be disappointed further. For the price point, I expected much better. Value simply doesn't match the cost, and I wouldn't return based on this experience. read more

Hong Bao is one of our favorite restaurants, and the food is really delicious. Especially the "RICK SAUCE" -- which is amazing! Rick was the waiter most of the time, and Ming served us last night; both were really nice. They're always checking in and asking what we need. They're friendly and awesome. The restaurant is clean and very comfortable to eat in. My husband and I always enjoy the meals and are happy to eat at Hong Bao. This is an excellent restaurant with amazing waitstaff. I would 100% recommend it to my friends or anyone looking for a nice place with yummy food. read more

We were hesitant at first to eat here. However we took a chance, and loved it so much. The kung pao chicken is a must! The noodles, and beef roll was amazing! The mango sago was the cherry on top. We loved the atmosphere, and can't wait to be back. Our amazing server David was so kind, and patient. He explained, and answered every question we had. We appreciated his attentiveness, and politeness throughout our night. Make sure you ask for David when you come by. Can't wait to be back! read more

My mother and I have dined in Ringki's section twice and we thoroughly enjoyed her excellent customer service. She approached us with a welcoming smile and she was very attentive to our requests.

Restaurants was packed when we went so we opted to order take out and eat it a TuTu's Food Court. Online ordering was not that difficult and there is a limited amount of items that you can order to-go. The food tasted very underwhelming in seasoning and taste. The chow mein was decent but not worth the $25 price tag. The honey walnut shrimp came out to 9-10 pieces for a $40+ price tag.. the shrimp was heavily coated in batter and tasted more batter than fish. The orange chicken was the same but it was soggier and the chicken was falling apart while we picked it up with chopsticks. It is difficult to want to try it again because of the price tag but I will give it one more shot and put a reservation down so I can dine in and not do a to-go order. read more

We decided to eat here while we were playing at Yaamava ambience is absolutely beautiful and so glad we did! We're not ones to blindly go to a restaurant without a strong recommendation so I looked up reviews and what I noticed is the server David was mentioned quite a bit as we sat down David just happened to be our server and approved of the choices we made for dinner, Braised short ribs with puréed plum sauce, bok choy and rice, meat was falling off the bone hubby ordered Kung Pao chicken absolutely hearty and delicious. David made sure waters were re-filled before even asking, very pleasant man extremely helpful serving multiple tables without making us wait long at all, everyone who served us were kind and service was A+++, just like the overall rating of the hotel itself, restaurant was beautiful desert was a mango coconut pudding with popping boba. David very graciously took my hubbies players card and came back with receipt of zero $ due we used Hubbs points all and all what a magical night and even though it was about to close the energy of the staff was as if it was the beginning of their shift which made us feel oh so welcomed. Can't wait to go back and take guests to also enjoy! read more

Update on our most recent visit at Hong Bao (yesterday) and I have to say it was very disappointing. I'm changing my review to just one star. Seems the service had gone down. We noticed that the turnover rate her me is very high. The food is good but not great. read more

Ordered the black pepper beef and green tea from the waiter, Sepayan. The Black Pepper beef was so tasty and tender, I loved it. The beef was simmered in a very good sauce that included onions snd green peppers. The meal included a bowl of rice. The green tea I ordered was perfect as well, it came hot and tasted like fine green tea from asian, hot and served in a large pot. I also ordered a whole duck to go. The duck did take a little while (30 mins) to arrive after finishing my dinner but Sepayan was so accommodating, attentive and professional that didn't really matter as much. The Duck (sliced in thin pieces) was excellent, it included the pancakes (tasty), duck sauce, sliced onions and cucumbers. Five stars for the food and Sepayan's above and beyond service! read more

Pretty and comfortable inside. Staff happily helped fix our wobbly table. I'd say food was average. We did get the Peking duck which was ok but not as flavorful as I've had before in China or even other high end Chinese restaurants. The drinks were also ok... my misprint sour came out a very bright green color. I would probably pass on that next time. Our server kept walking away after each 1-2 things we would ask for... didn't have a paper to take down the order so seemed like she couldn't remember too much in each trip. Overall a decent option but nothing stand out. read more

Underwhelming experience and service! Our server didn't come around much so we had to ask others for soy sauce and chili paste and water refills. I got a lychee martini but it was nothing special. We ordered the pan fried beef dumplings, which were nothing special. We got the combination chow mein with shrimp on the size, which was bland and just not good. I just realized that they sent out the fried rice instead of chow mein. We also got the kung pao chicken which was alright. Panda Express has kung Pao chicken that tastes 10x better. Not a good experience at all. read more

Inside the Yaamava Resort and Casino ( 21 years old to enter) our waiter was pleasant , he was attentive but not intrusive.

The fried noodles and braised pork below were good . read more

The best thing I had here was the walnut shrimp! Wow, the size was huge and very filling. I've never had walnut shrimp this good. We went here for my mom's birthday and it was a nice restaurant for sure. I showed up late due to so much traffic so all I could judge was what was leftover for me. I barely made it cuz we had a comedy show to go to. Everything was good, but the shrimp is what stood out for me! read more
