Bao buns and dumplings were tasty just took a long time to come out (~45min). Otherwise, service was fantastic, call buttons on the table were extremely convenient, and singular eating rooms created a unique atmosphere.

Food here is hit or miss. The Chongching chicken is more like king pao chicken. The filling in the Baozi was not very good. The chili oil was not good. The BBQ was all tasty.

This is an excellent hot pot restaurant in Bogota. We have visited many hot pot restaurants around the world and the in house peanut sauce served here is one of the best if not the best we have tried so far. If you enjoy hot pot, this is one not to miss. It’s all you can eat and the service is wonderful too. The quality of the food, ingredients and especially the meat is high quality and absolutely delicious. This spot is not to be missed!

My Asian friends & I have always wanted to try this restaurant and we are so very glad we did! One of us is Chinese while three of us lived in China and I have to say we were absolutely ecstatic about the huge menu, traditional authentic dishes, and the overall quality of taste & flavors! We ordered 9 dishes (only photos of 5 cause we ate the other 4 so fast). There were 7 of us total and we all raved about the food and had a blast eating and sharing food Chinese family style. The only thing to keep in mind is that the spice level isn't any where near mainland Chinese level which actually suited our group because we had a range of spice levels. But some dishes are definitely too spicy for the average Colombian so be sure to ask. My personal favorites: - #18 Pincho de Cebollín (Everyone absolutely loved it and we had to order more. ) -#88 Bao Bao Frita de cerdo con col china -#90 Empanadas

Food is authentic and amazing. Prices are STEEP. They’re charging 350,000 pesos for a Peking Duck. To give you a comparison, Peking Gourmet Inn near Washington DC has been around for almost 50 years and has been receiving US presidents for decades with top-notch Chinese and Chinese American food (you can google “Peking Gourmet Inn Falls Church” to look them up). They charge $79 USD (320,000 COP) for a duck. Baobao is charging MORE than Peking Gourmet Inn. Baobao’s duck has good flavor, but Peking Duck is all about enjoying the crispy skin. Baobao serves their duck with soggy skin and greasy pancakes (I’ve never seen oiled pancakes for duck before). I expect godly levels of duck if you’re going to be charging this price. Price for Peking Duck in an average restaurant in the Washington DC area is around US$40-60 ($167,000-250,000). All of the flavors in the restaurant are excellent, haven’t had a dish I didn’t like. Highly recommend the food, but I don’t recommend the prices. MARKETPLACE: Most of the products in the market place are expired, so be wary- some of the ramen even expired 2 years ago. Their lao gan ma is set to expire in a couple of months, was not worth buying.
