" Fantastic food! I had the Szechuan Chicken and it was bursting with flavor. The spices were perfect, giving just the right amount of heat without being overwhelming. The service was attentive and friendly, which enhanced the experience. The cozy setting made for a lovely family dinner — we can't wait to come back! Don’t skip on the egg drop soup; it might just be the best I've ever had! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Bao Bao after hearing so much about its authentic dishes. The little restaurant certainly has a homey vibe but my overall experience didn't quite live up to expectations. While I appreciated the flavors of my dish, I found the meal to be smaller in portion than what I'm used to at other Chinese restaurants. It was tasty but not necessarily filling. The service could have used a bit more attentiveness, but the restaurant was pretty busy. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful find! Bao Bao Chinese Bistro offers an authentic taste of Chinese cuisine in a cozy setting. The orange chicken was particularly memorable, perfectly balanced with sweetness and spice. The proprietors were incredibly welcoming, making our experience even better. I can't recommend this place enough for anyone craving genuine Chinese fare! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can’t say enough good things about Bao Bao. Every time I visit, I’m blown away by the quality and authenticity of the dishes. The flavors are vibrant, and you can tell everything is fresh. I particularly love the Hot and Sour Soup — it packs a punch and is perfect for chilly days. The restaurant is compact and charming, which makes every meal feel special. The staff is attentive and genuinely care about making your dining experience enjoyable. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great Chinese food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I think Bao Bao is one of the best hidden gems in Springfield! The flavors are authentic and it really reminded me of my travels in China. The crab rangoon had an excellent cream-to-crust ratio, and the egg drop soup made me wish I could order a gallon of it! Even though the restaurant is small, the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. This is now one of my favorite places to eat - can't wait for another visit! " (*Curated Review*)
