"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.\nThey 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?\n\nI 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 :)\n\nI would eat here again, if Im in the area."^^ . "2"^^ . . "3"^^ . .
