    Stepped a little out of the comfort zone and ordered an iced Black Sesame Matcha and it was delicious! Took a sip before mixing and was a little thrown off by the flavor. Stirred it up and it was divine. Very cute shop. Towards the end of the day so it was quiet but friendly and attentive staff. Would definitely return if I was in the area.

    Pork soup dumplings, delicious!!

    Baolala is a must visit restaurant in Industry City. The food has exceeded all expectations. Pork soup dumplings 5/5! Juicy tasty.. Thousand pork burger 10/5 lol The sauce inside is everything. The pork is tender and juicy..loved it so much Braised beef soup 5/5. Rich broth! Lots of meat and veggies inside. Super filling. I wasn't crazy about their boba..it was ok. But I generally prefer fruit teas so I have a specific taste. I saw they have a sunny side up matcha. Looked cool but it was late in the day for me to have caffeine so sadly I had to pass. Hopefully next time! I do think their ordering system lacks. You order on your phone and they bring you the food. The menu isn't descriptive so there's a surprise element to what you're getting. The kid that was working there didn't bring napkins, utensils etc so we had to keep coming up to ask for things. It's very casual and you can sit there forever, there's no rush. I love the laid back vibe

    A new edition to Industry City. It has very cute decor and is basically self service. You go to the table and order via a QR code. The food comes out pretty quickly. Overall was disappointed in the food, I tried finger baos and soup dumplings. However my iced rose tea was amazing!

    I came here on the grand opening with a friend. It's located in the Industry City Courtyard 3/4 near Japan Village. It's a bit difficult to find since there's no sign. They have drinks from uluhuluh and Chinese dishes like soup dumplings, noodles, rice bowls, etc. You order at the cashier and they bring the order to your table. I ordered the baolala dry noodles (braised pork, tofu, corn, egg, chinese pickled vegetables, green onion) and my friend ordered the dan dan noodles (ground pork sauce, egg, green onion). The portions were quite large. The noodles were delicious and was only a bit spicy. The staff were very nice. I wasn't that hungry so I definitely have to come back to try the soup dumplings! It's a great addition to Industry City.

    Second time coming here for a quick snack! You can order at the table with the QR code or up front. Food did not take that long and it came out super good. It's spacious and very clean.

    MaPo tofu had some seriously genuine mala spice. Felt the numbing. Authentic and delicious, broccoli was good too. Would also try the noodle dishes and dumplings

    Very solid Chinese food spot. We picked up food to go and the restaurant looked very clean and…read morespacious though no one was eating in. The food was very fairly priced and the portions were huge. We got the pork soup dumplings, pork fried rice, szechuan chicken (which came with white rice), and pad see ew (which though not listed comes with pork, chicken, and shrimp). Everything was solid, but our favorite was the fried rice which had a ton of flavor. I liked the veggies that were in the chicken dish but there were just way too many of them compared to the chicken and I wasn't crazy about the sauce. The pad see ew wasn't made the traditional way I've had it with soy sauce and oyster sauce. It had some sort of orange sauce that tasted closer to a sweet and sour. It wasn't bad it was just not what I was hoping for. The soup dumplings were solid, no complaints there. And the fried rice was great, lots of flavor. Overall, I liked this place especially for the price but I'd probably order different things if I went back.

    I had a taste for Chinese food like good old school. Chinese food and I happen to look on one of…read morethe delivery apps and located this place. I found parking down the block and walked over to the restaurant. It seems like more of a delivery spot because there was no one inside sitting at any of the 5 tables. It's a fairly good size space, very simply decorated, mixed with a cool wall resembling a curio cabinet of treasures. I chose a spot in the middle and went to the restroom which was clean and simple. I noticed there were a lot of takeout orders, from delivery services to local folks picking up their regular dinner. I looked over the menu and decided on salt and pepper wings and an order of shrimp. Fried Rice came out first and it was delicious. I even tasted a hint of salted egg yolk mixed into the egg mixture friefried up with the rice that signature crispiness with the little saltiness.... fantastic. The salt and pepper wings were different than the ones i'm accustomed to though the flavor was amazing.It didn't have the fried garlic, peppers, chilis, and onions that i'm accustomed to being in the dish. They were still flavorful, juicy and crisp and I could tell they cooked them fresh.That was much appreciated. I ended up taking half of my food home because I was stuffed.Thank you Msm Ellen and the Crown Garden crew for a tasty solo dinner.

    Pray tell, why would you send me on my way with 3 packets of duck sauce and one container of…read moreketchup for crab Rangoon?? Where is the sweet & sour? Where is the sweet chili? Cheap. There was nothing that I ordered that needed ketchup. Nothing. There wasn't even soy sauce in the bag. Then had the unmitigated gall to charge $22 for the salt baked shrimp and told me I had to pay $5 extra to substitute the lo mein for white rice. Who is eating white rice with shrimp? Girl bye. I'm not paying almost $30 for one meal from a hood Chinese spot. If there's no heat in your establishment, your prices need to be in lowercase. If it looks like you might catch staph in your establishment, your prices need not to be so loud. I also believe they overcharged me. They did have a sign saying that the prices went up, but I think they may have been too cheap to print out a new menu if that was the case. I was going off of what they had on the wall for the general public. So as I stated, I ordered crab Rangoon ($7, allegedly), honey wings ($7, allegedly), a shrimp egg roll ($2, allegedly), spare rib tips with fried rice ($12, allegedly). My total was $31. My assumption is they probably charged me extra for pork fried rice, which I didn't ask him for. I know for a fact they are not charging tax because there's no way that you're forcing people to pay in cash while also charging them for taxes that you don't pay. The crab Rangoon was actually pretty decent even though I didn't have the sauce that comes with it. The honey wings were OK. They actually taste more like honey BBQ. I prefer C&Y honey wings. It's real honey and stay hot for an hour due to the way honey maintains heat. I also don't appreciate when these spots chop up a wing and call it two wings. 1 wing is the entire thing. STINGY. The spare rib tips I don't like and neither do I like their pork fried rice. The rice is a bit bland and I don't like those large spare rib tips. I prefer the boneless spare rib tips that C&Y has. A shrimp roll is a shrimp roll is a shrimp roll. It wasn't too bad and it was actually pretty happy. The shrimp was a little bit larger than those baby shrimp that they normally stuff in shrimp rolls. Their pricing is on par with C&Y yet I don't have no issues paying what they ask and their food is good aside from their lo mein. They are not stingy and have pretty decent customer service unlike the guy who took my order here who paused my order to take another order over the phone and tend to the person behind me. This is what I get for cheating on my spot and being lazy when they both were far af.

The food was tasty which is the Hardee way but the energy of the man behind the counter was atrocious! He was distracted by a personal call he was on and he seemed REALLY annoyed by my presence. Did I detect an eye roll??? I probably won't ever return to this Hardee location.

However, the real negative here is the operations. It is a chaotic mess for the volume they are trying to do. It's not about adding more manpower, it's about streamlining. Tables are sitting empty while people are on the waitlist (not due to reservations), orders are going to the wrong tables, to-go orders are in disarray and have to be re-verified on multiple orders, and it takes a long time to get some water. The Yelp waitlist is useless here - wait was supposed to be 5-10 minutes and it turned into almost 40. All this could have been avoided with more planning, better organization, and training. Kitchen staff doing their job well. Front of house needs work.
