It is no wonder that this restaurant is consistently rated the best Chinese in local polls. Bo Ling's offers cuisine that's authentic and inventive. Chef/owner Richard Ng travels frequently to Hong Kong to get inspiration for new dishes for Bo Ling's menu. Ng puts great emphasis on the quality of the ingredients. The restaurant has a special blend of rice that the staff determined tastes best (It's a mix of jasmine and American long-grain rices). As for what to eat along with your rice, the decision can be difficult. A good case could be made for Bei Jing roasted duck, orange peel shrimp or lamb with scallion. For starters, don't miss the Cantonese lettuce wrap -- chicken and mushrooms, hot out of the wok, are wrapped in cool lettuce and served with plum sauce.

If you love appetizers, hit Bo Ling's dim sum for lunch Saturday or Sunday. Make a meal of all sorts of little bites, which servers cart around the room. A rule of thumb: Bring lots of friends, plan to stay a while and say yes to everything that looks good. You'll end up with new Chinese favorites, whether it's the shrimp dumplings or the delicate homemade tofu in ginger syrup.

Conventional wisdom says that once restaurants start expanding to various locations, the quality of the food goes downhill. Bo Ling's is an exception. The restaurant is up to four locations, and that just means that more people will have access to the best Chinese food in town... and at the right price. -- Anna Foote

  • DIM SUM OK DIM GET SOME

    Review rating : 3out of 5   KCStarguy - 09/24/2008

    My stepson suggested we tried the dim sum. It was okay for dim sum noshing on several of the items. Dim Sum can get really expensive and we only sampled a few. A better deal is a regular entree and an appetizer if you need. For me Bo Ling is nothing special in terms of oriental food. It is good if you like Chinese but when I usually want Asian I want something different then the regular chinese and that goes for Bo Lings too. So I go elsewhere and do Thai.

    The dim sum weekends have been between fair and poor. Lack of consistancy is unforgivable for Chinese cooking. Also noted is the fact that the char siu bow have shrunk by 1/4 recently. The quality does not equal the over rated claims.

    Review rating : 5out of 5   sheltielver59 - 04/28/2004

    Bo Lings offers the best in authentic Chinese quisine. The menu offers a wide variety of delicacies that other restaurants cant even begin to compare to. The food is made with great care and served with grace and elegance that you will make you feel like royalty. The owner and the staff are genuine in happiness to serve you. The owner has created a superb atmosphere that leads to a heavenly experience in dining. There is no restaurant comparable to this so dont look any further come enjoy, experience, and take in the food, atmosphere, and service that is above all others!
