I am embarrassed that I don't try more items when I eat here, but I come in specifically to get the chicken fried rice. It is nothing like usual Chinese restaurant fare as it is not soaked in soy sauce, and the chicken isn't the cubes from a can. All in all, everything seems to be freshly prepared in their kitchen. The spring rolls are made here and delicious, and the scallion pancakes are another favorite appetizer.
The waitstaff has been here for years and are very good. Anyone that walks past your table will fill your glass or take your empty plate.
The atmosphere is very nice. It seems that you have two choices in Chinese restaurants--corporate Chinese like PF Chang's, or red and gold with paper lanterns. Baoding has it's own look, and the music is not some kind of bad kung-fu movie sound track, they play a variety of normal choices.
When I want Chinese, this is the place for me.
