visiting Wanna Bao? Good food and a chill space! My family and I went in a rainy day which proved to be the best time to try out Wanna Bao. It wasn’t too packed, or too loud and parking was easy despite what the other reviews said. For the food: Spicy popcorn chicken: 10/10. Beware it IS spicy. Red oil dumplings: 7/10 the oil was on point! Shanghai Chili Lettuce Wrap: 8/10 This dish was solid! Shredded Chicken in Spicy Garlic Sauce: 6/10 flavor was there, not spicy and a safe choice. Shrimp dumplings: 8/10 I enjoyed the outer crispy underneath consistency. Nutella Dumpling dessert: 8/10 different and tasty. Over all, Wanna Bao did not disappoint!

This restaurant was absolutely one of the best Asian restaurants I have been to. We had a party of 13 and everything that was ordered was delicious from the scallion pancakes to the duck, general tso's chicken, soup dumplings, fried rice, cucumber salad and on and on. The waiter was extremely cordial. Will definitely be going back!!!

First off the other reviewers almost had me pass this by. But knowing how petty people are I stopped by anyway. This is a great Chinese Lunch spot. Definitely should be busier at lunch. General Tso and Hot and Sour soup is great. Chicken is not greasy, soggy, or smothered in sauce. Its just right. Egg roll is a good size as well. Will definitely come here to get my Chinese fix from now on.

--- NK Score = 6.5/10 --- 6/10 = Furniture/Ambience 7/10 = Food Quality 6/10 = Prices/Services (Other Ratings Hidden) _____________________________________________ =( BASIC INFO )= - Tiny Restaurant, Mostly Delivery - Usually Empty, Little Waiting Time - Decent Foods ( $8.00 - $14.00 ) - Uses Thin Styrofoam Plates, Meh - Homemade Style Foods, Chinese - Midtown $$ Prices, Good Service - Convenient Parking Spaces _____________________________________________ = Atmosphere = Really tiny little restaurant with almost nothing inside, probably not a good idea to dine in, but they do have good delivery service / takeout. _____________________________________________ = Food Quality = - Mongolian Beef ($9.95): Not bad, has an interesting sweet and sour flavor that's soft to the tongue. Also, the beef used was pretty basic, but the mixture of scallions, carrots, and onions make the dish a whole lot better. Ok price and portion for Midtown. - Curry Chicken ($9.25): A good load of vegetables and chicken, but lacking a little on curry portions. The flavor is alright, kinda has a homemade Chinese dish feel to it. Ok to try, but not that amazing. - Green Bean Chicken ($9.25): Decent chicken and green beans, but the flavor didn't really kick in. Wouldn't recommend this dish, but it's ok to try. _____________________________________________ = Price / Service = Prices are pretty average for a Midtown restaurant, but the styrofoam plates they use are a little disappointing. Possibly a decent place to order delivery as the portions and prices are manageable. Delivery service is pretty good, they're fast and usually on time. _____________________________________________ Recommendations: Mongolian Beef, pretty good dish with a homemade type of feel and flavor. - Signed NK (June 2017) - Images below by Jason Lx (NK)
