Great Americanized as well as authentic Chinese dishes. The orange chicken was bomb. Delicious egg drop soup, too.
Sunday lunch with Mom! Restaurant #66!
We weren’t really sure where we were headed this Sunday, so we let Google Maps give us the options. While we started to go to a different Chinese place, we ended up at Bao Bao Bistro and were pleasantly surprised! This quaint little place has maybe 10 tables, and really freshly prepared food. Mom had the shrimp lo mein, and I opted for the shrimp and squid dish. Mom said her veggies were cooked perfectly: a little crunchy and not mushy. The sauce on my shrimp and squid dish was “just right” for my taste in spice. The Rangoons were crispy on the outside and warm and creamy on the inside. The eggroll was also crispy and tasty.
We stopped in to have some Springfield Cashew Chicken. The service left a lot to be desired but we enjoyed our Cashew chicken. It was a very good sized portion and came with fried rice and two Crab Rangoon. The sauce was not exactly how I remembered cashew chicken but overall it was hot and tasty. The sweet and sour sauce that we asked for to dip our Crab Rangoon was really good. There was more chicken than breading and they were nice white meat pieces.
Best in town! Best egg drop soup and beef/broccoli.
Highly recommend the egg drop soup ???? You can definitely tell it is made in house. It is so light and airy with the perfect texture. The owners are from Vietnam and give a great authentic spin.
Do you like a Cherry limeade without all the calories???? Try the Cherry ???? Lime soda water, super yummy! Everything else was good for the price. We had the Szechuan Chicken “traditional style” had amazing bites of fresh ginger which I love!
We had the Egg Foo Young with Chicken which was good, next time I would do sauce on the side so it stays crispy. The Hot & Sour Soup was good, but I am spoiled to the flavor of Leong’s Asian Dinner Hot & Sour Soup, but it was still much better than your standard run of the mill Chinese places here in Springfield.
We had the Salt & Pepper Jalapeño Pork and my wife loved it. I thought the breading was a little thick, but for the price of only $9.95 how can I complain??? The crab Rangoon was what you would expect and the potstickers were super delicious. We wanted the duck but they were out tonight, I get that because it is a specialty dish. Can’t wait to go back again and try it.
They also do steamed buns from time to time so it is hit and miss. I will keep checking! All in all I would recommend trying this little spot out. They do not serve any type of alcohol, but I imagined they would let you bring in your own beer or wine.
My highest recommendation…….get the “Egg Drop Soup”!!!!
Got delivered Egg Foo Young, hot n sour soup, spring rolls. Enough for two people I was surprised! Very good, soup was great.
Love trying new places and Bao Bao didn't disappoint!
Bourbon beef, with onion, mushroom, hint of spice
Happy Family, always a favorite of mine, meat and veggie variety all-in-one
Springfield style Cashew Chicken - darker brown gravy
Yummy fried rice
Pot stickers with a slightly sweet sauce
Egg drop soup (not pictured) with spaghetti-thin wonton. Wish I had taken a picture. The broth was just salty enough. The eggs were thinly drizzled into the soup and the thin wontons didn't overpower.
Super casual, good price point and the staff/family were very friendly.
Would love to eat there again!
Beautiful Chinese restaurant with a Beautiful atmosphere in the Beautiful neighborhood of Chesterfield Village in the Beautiful Southside of Springfield! I enjoyed a divine dinner here with Mom before I went bowling tonight. When we walked through the back door, I noticed unusually narrow booths, each side only appearing enough to fit one person. Their unusual appearance is why I selected to sit at one of them. Their location within the empty back side contrasted against the Beautiful scenic view of Chesterfield Village from the front side. I love the scenery of Chesterfield Village, which is why I sat on the side toward the booths to provide me pictures of myself dining here with the scenic view behind me.
And every bit as much, great food here! I ordered the Springfield-style cashew chicken to be local--after all, Springfield, Missouri, is the birthplace of cashew chicken! It was as good as the cashew chicken at any other Chinese restaurant in the Ozarks where I ate it.
All of these things make Bao Bao an excellent example of the several different restaurants only a short walk away from Chesterfield Lofts and Chesterfield Village Apartments. So if I was to move to one of those apartments in the near future and this restaurant was to stay open, then I would undoubtedly enjoy my life there for the opportunity to occasionally dine in that restaurant.
