    Wow Bao is only for Delivery service. You can't even order and pick it up at the Sizzler restaurant where they are located.

    I have been daydreaming about this joint since November. I was in town for my 6 month post…read moretransplant visit at U of U so you know I had to make my way in for a meal before I headed back to Boise. We were the first ones here. I got to put my order in pretty quickly and it wasn't long till my shu mai and haw gar came out. My fried shrimp dumplings and taro cake came shortly after. I was in heaven! The dim sum here is so good! I had everything to myself since my husband doesn't really eat Chinese food. The fried shrimp dumplings are my favorite! They are crispy. The shrimp in it middle is savory and chewy. The sweet sauce it is paired with is a match made in heaven! The taro cake was hot and charry from the wok. The shu mai and haw gar were good but you can tell they were previously heated and just sitting in the warmer. They could have been hotter and the exterior could have been softer. Even though they were perfect, they were still fabulous. The service isn't the best and after my first initial visit I knew to keep my expectations low. I come here for the food and it delivers every time! I ate everything and didn't have an ounce of guilt for doing so. We don't have dim sum like this in Boise so I made sure I enjoyed and savored every bite! I look forward to coming back to SLC in a few months cause I know this joint will be on my to go list when I'm here again.

    On the plus side, they had some of the better hot & sour soups I have had, and I've tasted it all…read moreover China. It's sort-of my thing. The worst of the negative side is that we were seated next to the fish tanks and just looking at them was nausea-inducing. A couple of the were full of algae and all were dirty. For the rest of it, meh. The BBQ duck was medium. Quite good flavor, but very overcooked. We also got the mixed meat & veggie pot which was not good. 80% of the "meat" was fried tofu, the rest of it was very overcooked, and it had no real flavor. The staff was extremely attentive though--and generous. They actually gave us an extra cup of hot & sour soup because we were sharing. And they gave our daughter extra fortune cookies.

The service was quick too, even with the notice that only 3 people were working at the restaurant.

Dim sum…read moreis something we don't have back in Boise so I'm trying to eat a much as I can before I head home. My daughter and I decided to try this joint out for lunch. They serve dim sum throughout the day so it was a win win situation. Most dim sum is in the morning so the fact we can have it for lunch was great. Walking in, I expected the joint to be nicer. Not necessarily top of the line but nicer. It was dull, crowded and dated. The lady behind the counter guided us to our table. We did breeze over the menu but I already knew what we wanted. We ordered a handful a handful of things. It all looked good on the menu and these were some of my favorite dishes growing up. Black bean spareribs, shu mai, haw gow, taro cake, lotus leaf sticky rice, bean curd with meat in the middle and long rice noodle with shrimp. Everything is pre made and sitting in a steamer bath. I would have been willing to wait for the dim sum to be made fresh instead of it just sitting around staying warm. Honestly, if I would have known that they were pre made, I probably wouldn't have come. The black bean spareribs were fatty and lacking black bean. The long rice noodles were already sauced so the sauce was thick and dry on the noodles already. The haw gaw was cold. The clear wrapping on the haw gow is my favorite and it was tough. The stuffed bean curd was pretty bland. The lotus leaf with sticky rice was good! It was hot and the filling was savory to the sticky rice. The shu mai was savory. The only thing that was honestly cooked cooked was the taro cake. It was actually steamed and then grilled. It was really good! I love the crunchy exterior and the soft middle. Half of the food was good and the other half was so disappointing. As dated as this joint is, I know places that look dated can produce some of the best food! I was hoping that this was going to be the case but it wasn't. Service was basic. It was uncomfortably warm inside the venue today. I'm happy I got to try it out but I don't see myself coming back for a second round.

    It's good dim sum for Utah. Food is decent but service is slow. We made a reservation for a party…read moreof 12, and it took around 20 minutes just to get seated (it wasn't a full house). The hostess seemed clueless when we arrived and I had to follow up with her a few times about our table. We weren't seated in the main dining room, so I had to walk back and forth to get the ladies with the carts to come over. Service eventually improved once I started talking with the staff in Chinese. Note that the restaurant advertises that they have gluten free options but most of the dishes aren't truly gluten free. The only celiac safe items are the fried rice and noodles (and there's no tamari).

    Ordered the dinner for two special, first thing we got was the soups, both soups were cold and had…read morelittle flavor. The next thing to arrive was the kung Pao chicken, then the white rice. The rice was warm but the Kung Pao was cold and majority of it was veggies. Next we got the appetizer (cream cheese wantons), those were our favorite thing from the menu. They came out hot and the flavor was great! The broccoli and beef was the next dish and it was freshly made, it came out hot and was good. Not a lot of flavor but at this point we were very hungry and had no other choice but to dig in! Lastly the orange peel chicken also came out hot and it had good flavor as well. Overall the wait time for the dishes was ridiculous, only four tables were occupied. The place was slow and the service was painfully slow as well. Save your money and go to panda express for quicker service for a lot less money!

We got a Thai boba tea, Szechuan wonton soup, sheng jiang, steam BBQ pork buns, and egg rolls. I'm actually obsessed with their egg rolls. They are sooo yummy. They are fried perfectly. My husband got the Szechuan wonton soup, and it comes in great packaging with the broth on the side to be poured in at home. My husband said it was really good. We couldn't decide between the steam BBQ pork rolls and the sheng jian, so we got both to compare. Both were amazing! I think I like the sheng jiang a little more since the pork buns were a little too doughy for me. My husband liked his Thai boba tea. Some other items we have tried before and liked are the soup dumplings as well as the popcorn chicken. They have a fridge in the front with some sodas including sprite, coke, and Fanta. Overall, we really liked foodie and sweetie Dmarket and would recommend it if you're looking to grab a delicious take out meal. There are also tables inside if you'd prefer to eat there. The people working are always very kind. Some of the items do take a little longer to prepare, so if you need something quick, I would just communicate with them to see if that's possible. They had our food done by the time it said they would online. Highly recommend!

Took about 10-15 mins for the soup buns (6 pcs). Fresh; held together well; and paired nicely with the ginger soy/ponzu sauce. Popcorn chicken was juicy with a good kick of spices. Staff was friendly and checked in to see if I needed anything while dining in. Feels like a fast casual dine-in spot.
