    Steamed soup dumplings, perfect as always.
    Natalie S.

    Bo Lings is one of my go to places for Chinese food in Kansas City and the quality never lacks. Their cashew chicken is my favorite dish (maybe ever??) and it is consistently delicious which really matters to me with Chinese food. My partner is loyal to their steamed soup dumplings and swears they are to die for. Flavor wise, this place is phenomenal. Service was a little slow, but not in a way that ruined anything. Once the food landed hot and delicious, we were too happy to care. The only downside was the smell inside this location. There was a strong sewage stink the whole time and it definitely took away from the dining in experience. Because of that, I probably would not come back to this location, but Bo Lings food overall is amazing and absolutely worth trying. If you come here and are sensitive to smells.. maybe just get takeout because the food is worth it here!

    Bo Lings is usually a safe bet for service and tasty food but New Years Day was unusual. We were seated quickly at 2:40 pm but it was then a 15 min wait for drink orders and yet another 10-15 min for the appetizer order. The steamed dumplings were over cooked, leading to a deconstructed dumpling :-) the taste just wasn't up to par with the MANY times we have been to Bo Lings. As well the cost has went up so much and the over 10% KC tax is way too much. Overall will try again but honestly stepping out to Platte City or another burb is just as good these days, unfortunately.

    I had not been to Bo Lings in a long time but was pleasantly surprised that it was just as good as I remembered. They have done a complete remodel and it is beautiful. I visited for their dim sum menu and the outstanding dish was the soup dumplings, hard to find in KC.

    Renovated Inside!
    Sarah M.

    It seems Bo Lings has really stepped up its game with the new renovations! Looks NOTHING like the pictures you see on yelp. The new interior is absolutely stunning--perfect for special family gatherings, date nights, or when you're simply in the mood for something a little more upscale. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with an elevated touch that makes dining here feel like an experience. Service was excellent, attentive without being intrusive. And...The dim sum! Easily the best I've had in KC. While it doesn't quite reach the legendary status of Tim Ho Wan in Hong Kong, it comes close enough to curb the craving. Mind you, if you're a true dim sum fanatic, this might be a bit disappointing. But TRULY, the best dim sum you'll find in KC. My recs: * turnip cake (10/10) made me reminisce my Hong Kong days * Shrimp Wrapped in Rice Paper (9/10) sauce was a bit too sweet * xiao long bao (5/10) scratched the itch but came nowhere close to the real stuff. rakar's tastes better. * singaporean noodles (6/10) too spicy and had a grainy taste. But the shrimp was good! We're always on the lookout for new asian spots in the area, and I can say without a doubt that Bo Lings has made it to our eat-out rotation.

    Stopping in to my favorite Chinese restaurant and it's got a new facelift! Wow! I'm glad they still offer some of my favorite dishes so it was easy to choose. Shrimp fried rice & shrimp egg roll with red sweet and sour sauce. It's my meal! It was still delicious, with same size shrimp and Asian flavor.

    Sushi Nachos. So good!

    Checked out Heritage Bo Ling's after their remodel and the place looks amazing! Their new bar is perfect for happy hour after work and their menu is even better. Can't go wrong with crab Rangoon of course and they have several HH menu items that are delish. Plus you can never go wrong with a cocktail. Check them out!

    My husband found this place while I was shopping at the Country Club Plaza! We are from Texas and have our favorite local spots, but was excited after seeing their menu! The pan fried dumplings were my husbands favorite! Everything is fresh and amazing! We had a new server and he messed up our order, but we were happy with the food, that it really wasn't a big deal! Plus, everyone should be kind to people when they are starting out a new job, mistakes happen! The restaurant was quiet and dark, made for a relaxing dinner after a long day of exploring!

    We were in the mood for Chinese food. Stop in here for dinner for the first time at the Plaza location. Restaurant is being remodeled. We got seated right away. Staffs was very nice and friendly. Pricing reasonable. Lots of selection on menu. We started off with crab Rangoon. So good with the sweet dipping sauce. For my entree, I ordered Moo Shu for the first time. It comes with a flour tortilla wrap. It was okay but probably not my favorite. Just noticed for a Chinese restaurant, there's no Asian in sight eating here. It is mostly Caucasian American.

    Dim sum
    Stephanie N.

    I was looking for a good dim sum place in Kansas City and Bo Lings is very promising! There is limited parking in the plaza around the area but there is a parking garage across from Panera that is a pretty short walk to the restaurant. We came on a Saturday afternoon and it was surprisingly not busy. Since there wasn't a lot of people, it was clean and had overall quiet vibes! There were plenty of servers to help us and refill our waters. Food also came out quickly after we ordered. To order, you make the menu with how many orders of each dish you want, so it's not traditional push cart. The food came out hot and was seasoned very well. I'm excited to come back and get the other dumplings we didn't get to try!

I usually come here for dim sum, and it is upsetting for me to say that my husband and I should've chose somewhere else to eat for dinner. For dinner, we ordered fried rice and chow fun. Those two main entrées were okay. You can't really mess up those two fillers at an Asian restaurant. We ordered scallion pancakes- they came out soggy and soft. Not even crispy like how they usually are. The flavor wasn't there either. If I wanted microwaved scallion pancakes, then I would've bought them from the store and made them myself. My husband ordered the short ribs- they were bland and tough like rubber. It had a funky taste to it that he couldn't describe and he had to force himself to swallow it because he didn't want food to go to waste. I ordered the chicken feet- this is one of dim sum's signature dishes and I am so upset I didn't even get to enjoy one of the dishes I always order. It was dry and the flavor wasn't there. The service was fantastic. They checked in on us and made sure our water was filled. The timing of the food coming in and out was fine. The ambiance was inviting. There was a sense of urgency and I appreciated that.

When I was a kid it was because I loved Chinese food and this is where my parents would go, and now as an adult it's mostly just nostalgia. Over the years I've found other places I like just as much, and some places in town that do certain dishes better, BUT there is just something about Bo Lings that feels comforting and that je ne sais quoi will certainly keep me coming back. This location in Overland Park is the closest to my house so it's the one we order from the most. They recently got into the delivery game which reintroduced them to me now that I'm in my kid era and very much too tired to strap two little kids into the car to pick up food when I can pay to have it come to me (I know I know kind of lazy but that's life!). At any rate, we ordered from here earlier this week and the moo shu was exactly how I remembered, I love that they make their own pancakes in house and they still are IMO the best ones in town, and the crab rangoon still slaps. Something else I love about Bo Lings is that they do a good job at staying consistent across all locations, which I imagine is not always an easy feat. At any rate, if you are craving Chinese food in OP Bo Lings will not disappoint!

    I truly wanted to love Bo Ling, but this was one of the most disappointing dim sum experiences I've…read moreever had. We came as a party of seven and spent roughly $300 on dim sum and additional dishes, giving us a broad look at the menu -- unfortunately, very little of it was enjoyable. The noodle dishes were outright bad. Both the seafood pan-fried noodles and the beef chow fun were so aggressively salty that they were completely inedible. These are staple dim sum dishes that should be comforting and balanced, yet they tasted like someone dumped an excessive amount of salt into the wok, ruining any chance of flavor. The shrimp noodle roll was especially shocking. We ordered three plates, arrived early before the restaurant even opened, and the dishes came out cold -- not lukewarm, not barely warm, but cold. In over 40 years of eating dim sum, I have never been served a cold shrimp noodle roll. This alone speaks volumes about the lack of care or quality control in the kitchen. The char siu bao was equally disappointing. The bao itself was poor quality, and the char siu filling looked old, dry, and unappetizing, as if it had been sitting around far too long. When the egg tarts arrived, it became clear this meal wasn't going to improve -- the crust was underbaked and doughy, completely missing the crispy flaky texture that's expected At that point, it wasn't even worth taking food home. We left without packing anything because so many items were simply not edible. If there was any positive at all it was the har gow and the shrimp and chive dumplings -- the only dishes that met a basic standard. If you decide to come here, those are likely your safest options. The service was very good and attentive, which honestly made the food even more disappointing. Another strange note: this is the first dim sum restaurant I've ever visited that charges for tea by the cup. Everywhere else I've eaten dim sum -- and that includes China, Hong Kong, Macau, Philadelphia, New York, San Francisco, Dallas, and Chicago -- tea is either complimentary or charged by the pot. The tea service here felt oddly executed and out of place. I wasn't expecting high-end dim sum in Kansas, but I was expecting fresh, properly cooked, warm food. We drove many hours specifically to try this restaurant, which made the experience even more frustrating. Overall, despite good service, the food was unacceptable. This visit was a complete letdown, and I would not return or recommend it.

Their menu consists of a lot of dishes, and some are quite unique .. you don't usually see items like bird's nest dishes at most Chinese restaurants around here except for maybe Bolings. Me and my husband visited on a Saturday night around 8 pm and really devoured our meal. The menu can feel a bit overwhelming at first, but you honestly can't go wrong with stir fries at any Chinese restaurant. For appetizers, we ordered chicken egg rolls, which were hefty and filling. For the main course, I ordered the chicken in black bean stir fry, and my husband got the shrimp Kung Pao chicken stir fry. We paired both with steamed rice. The black bean chicken was rich and earthy, with that deep, slightly funky flavor from the fermented black beans. It was very umami, salty and complimented nicely with the fresh, crisp vegetables and well-cooked chicken. I really liked it. The shrimp Kung Pao was spicy and tangy, with perfectly cooked shrimp (the fried shrimp covering was chefs kiss) and crispy veggies. Overall, we really enjoyed the food. The egg rolls were about $4 for two pieces, and the stir fries were around $17+ each. The portions are quite large compared to other places in the area, so the pricing seemed reasonable. For 2 main course dishes your bill could easily reach up to $40. Otherwise, The restaurant was clean, the staff was kind, and service was quick. It also wasn't too crowded when we visited. I would rate the service 4/5, mainly because we had to ask for silverware, condiments, and tissues separately. The food, though, is definitely a 5/5. Highly recommended! I will definitely return to have more dishes like beef chow fun, the soups and last, but not least BIRDS NEST!!
