Disclaimer: I base this review on lunch only.
I have a dream. My dream is that one day ethnic restaurants that modify menu offerings to suit "American" tastes to the degree that people in the restaurant's native country would have difficulty identifying those offerings call themselves "(fill-in-the-blank)-American" restaurants. Thus...
Baoding is a good Chinese-American restaurant in the South Park area. Other Yelpers have described it well: it is attractively appointed with comfortable seating and an upscale bar. The service is consistent, as is the food, which explains the steady stream of middle-aged lunch patrons. I did not notice anything on the menu that would raise anybody's concern or curiosity. Spicy items were designated as such.
My lunch, Hot and Sour Soup and Garlic Shrimp arrived (temperature) hot, well-presented and adequately seasoned. Neither dish was particularly fresh or inspiring, however.
My thought: if you need a place to go that's consistent, Baoding is a good choice. If you're a food adventurer seeking authentic Chinese food, go elsewhere. I would not characterize Baoding as a good Chinese restaurant, but I will say it is a good Chinese-American restaurant.
