| - Since half stars arent part of the rating system, I'll add that imaginary 1/2 in the written review :) So, the usual drill: In the area, lunchtime, we decide on Asian, look across to see Baoding, settled.
They have attractive decor and I particularly liked the overhead drapery in royal purple.......elegant touch. It was lunchtime so a lot of tables were occupied. The menu was limiting in my opinion, they had 4 seafood choices, 4 chicken choices, 4 pork, 4 beef, and a couple apps and maybe 4 soups. Perhaps the dinner menu is different and has more variety?
I ordered the Firecracker Shrimp (xx spicy) and my lunch buddy ordered Garlic Shrimp and we decided to sample the Singaporean Noodles. Entrees come with a choice of 2 crab rangoons or a spring roll. Both dishes turned out to be delicious, not quite my spice level although I requested it, but still tasty. They didnt skimp at all with the shrimp but they did with the vegetables and rice. The mound of rice was so tiny, I barely got 5 bites out of it. I would NOT suggest the noodles at all, they tasted funny and purfumey, left a horrible aftertaste. The service was okay as the server seemed frighteningly bored --- probably preferred a day of golf instead :)
I would eat here again, if Im in the area.
