12 reviews for Baoding
Upscale Chinese restaurant that uses fresh ingredients. They have the typical Chinese dishes.
Everything in the menu is good. If you are looking for authentic Chinese food, skip this place.
If you are on a meeting, or trying to impress a person used to Americanized chinese then this is your place.
Really impressed by this place. We stopped here because we were in SouthPark (a rarity) and saw this place had good reviews on Yelp. The beer selection was fantastic, and they had a great assortment of dishes. If you got one of the specials, your entree could cost up to $15 but if you stuck with simpler chicken or veggie dishes, the plates were a more reasonable $8-$12. My hubster got his fave, ma po tofu. It is an easy dish to screw-up, but I'm happy to report that Baoding did an excellent job. I was really impressed by the Shrimp Steamer dish I ordered. Baoding is obviously trying to provide more health conscious options through these "steamer" (i.e. steamed veggies and your choice of protein) dishes which are served to your in a bamboo steamer. Despite being "healthy," I thought my steamer dish was really tasty.
During my time in Chicago, I found good authentic Chinese places, but I never found a really great Chinese-American joint, so I was pleased to stumble upon Baoding here in Charlotte (of all places!). Oh, and the employees were really friendly and charming. I plan to be a frequent customer here.
Disclaimer: I base this review on lunch only.
I have a dream. My dream is that one day ethnic restaurants that modify menu offerings to suit "American" tastes to the degree that people in the restaurant's native country would have difficulty identifying those offerings call themselves "(fill-in-the-blank)-American" restaurants. Thus...
Baoding is a good Chinese-American restaurant in the South Park area. Other Yelpers have described it well: it is attractively appointed with comfortable seating and an upscale bar. The service is consistent, as is the food, which explains the steady stream of middle-aged lunch patrons. I did not notice anything on the menu that would raise anybody's concern or curiosity. Spicy items were designated as such.
My lunch, Hot and Sour Soup and Garlic Shrimp arrived (temperature) hot, well-presented and adequately seasoned. Neither dish was particularly fresh or inspiring, however.
My thought: if you need a place to go that's consistent, Baoding is a good choice. If you're a food adventurer seeking authentic Chinese food, go elsewhere. I would not characterize Baoding as a good Chinese restaurant, but I will say it is a good Chinese-American restaurant.
I went to the Chinese restaurant Baoding today for lunch. A restaurant that I have not been to in a long while...I think it has been at least 4 years. The quality and service is still as good now as it was then.
Atmosphere - Modern and clean with Chinese murals and a mirrored wall to one side giving the place a nice sense of spaciousness.
Service - Well dressed (white dress shirts & black pants) wait staff attend to your needs while a manager roves the area to validate everything is as it should be. The wait staff was very accommodating to meal modifications and presented the food as ordered.
Food - I ordered a modified Chef Jack's Special, New T Chicken. I modified it by changing the chicken from lightly breaded to no breading and asking for the brown sauce on the side. It was tasty, but could be a little spicier for my liking. The dish did come with a veggie roll and I like the fact that I was able to get brown rice instead of white steamed rice.
Price - The lunchtime price was just $6.95. A great deal for the quality!
Overall - Why did I wait 4yrs to come back? Well, I live north of the city and forgot all about this place. I will definitely be back.
Baoding.....I had been hearing about this place since I moved to Charlotte and was dying to try it. The place is gorgeous on the inside....what I would totally expect for a restaurant in South Park.
The food: My boyfriend and I both had the same opinion.....ehhhhhh. It was nothing special. I had soft shell crabs and they were okay, but I was left with a fishy taste in my mouth that never quite went away. The veggies that came on the side were tasty, cooked perfectly. My boyfriend at scallops that were supposed to be spicy but they weren't....at all. The portions were small and nothing to freak out over. Maybe if I tried somethig else.
The service: The servers looked the part for sure, dressed very nicely. When we first arrived, our server was right there and as I tried to order the beer I knew I wanted from the extensive list, he plainly told me, "No, you don't want that one, you want this one." I'm a seasoned beer drinker and I know what I like and I know what I want, so I didn't really appreciate the denial from my server. Also, as soon as our beer was delievered, we didn't see him again until after the end of the meal. Our food (appetizers and dinner) was brought to us by different servers each time.
All in all, I would probably go back, but not any time soon. I wasn't super impressed but maybe trying something different from the menu would help. The beer list is superb and reasonably priced.
Good location, Good atmospehere, and Good Service. Food is unique, not your typical Chinese. Chilled cucumber salad and the dumplings are worth trying. Not your usual soy soaked fried rice, it was still fried, but not brown, none the less, still very very tastey. Low mein was okay, nothing special. The seaseme fried tofu was perfect. Good selection of drinks and due to certain restricitions on my diet, i did not have any meat, but have before and the shredded beef, three glass chicken, ad
When I'm in the mood for Chinese food, I usually want Jo Jo China Bistro (Baoding's sister restaurant); however, we had a coupon for Baoding, it's closer to home, and it's in SouthPark, so how bad could it be? For being in an old strip mall (where the small Barnes & Noble used to be) that needs some refreshening, we were pleasantly surprised that the interior of Baoding was very upscale in appearance and nicely themed and decorated. Better yet, the pricing was reasonable compared to other SouthPark restaurants. I decided to try an entree I had never had before -- Three Glass Chicken. I'm not sure of the meaning behind its name, and I'm not crazy for dark meat chicken as the dish contained, but the abundance of flavors (garlic, ginger, chili peppers, basil, cilantro, wine, sesame oil, and soy sauce) it offered sounded delicious and too good to pass up. I wasn't disappointed. The dish was very tasty, despite the more greasy dark meat.
The service was so-so, but we didn't let that impede our visit. We enjoyed Baoding, and it can be great for either casual dining or on a date, but Jo Jo is still my preferred Chinese restaurant.
We had a great dinner at Baoding ! There were 6 in our party and everyone had a great meal. I had the szchuan chicken and asked if they would substitute broccoli for the red peppers and they graciously complied. Everyone said they had a great meal and that they would order the same thing again! I would highly recommend Baoding.
The food here is crazy good. I am a sucker for the pineapple chicken fried rice served in a hollowed out pineapple.
The food was very good, the service also and I was very happy that it was a non-smoking restaurant. They have an elaborate beer menu which was a plus also.
I haven't eaten here in a while, since they opened some nice Chinese restaurants near me in Dilworth. However, this was the only place we would get Chinese when I was in high school, and the food was always delicious. The restaurant itself is nice and intimate, the only negative is that it's in Sharon Corners, which is a miserable shopping center to get in and out of.
The service is top-notch -- wait staff is highly attentive. There is a small bar area and dining area is 4-seat tables and booths along the wall. The food is very good and consistent. I have dined here many times and have always been pleased with the food and service.
