    I am new to the Ann Arbor area and coming from Southern California so I have a baseline of really…read moregood Chinese food. This was not it. I should have listened to the average rating. The host was responsive. The food came out of the kitchen incredibly fast. It had that hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant feel. But that's about it. That's the 2 stars. The hot and sour soup got the taste balance and broth right but the ingredients were a disappointment, too much tofu, too much egg, not enough wood ear and/or black mushrooms, scandalously few shredded bamboo shoots (which also clearly came from a can). The wok hei for the mu shu pork was not good; too greasy and again, the ingredients were really inadequate (way too many onions, zero cabbage, scant protein). The hoisin sauce clearly came out of a bottle (way too sweet and flat) and here's the death blow - thick flour tortillas, not those thin Mandarin pancakes. I mean, the thinness of the pancake is the whole point - it is NOT a "Chinese burrito" (a phrase that is an insult to burritos, mind you). The last dish was ma po tofu. For me, a good ma po tofu is all about flavor balance - do you understand between straight up heat from the chili and the numbing of Sichuan peppercorns? They do not understand, this was so overwhelmingly peppercorn that it seemed pretty apparent that someone just equated "hot" with peppercorn and then added chili oil. Again, scant protein. I usually give a place a couple tries because anyone can have an off day. I won't be back. This is a kitchen quality problem, not an off day.

    Food came fast even with a nearly full restaurant, the food prices were fair, the employees were…read morefriendly and the portions were great. Unsure why this restaurant is currently at a 3.4. Should be at least a 4.6.

    A once wonderful Asian eatery has become questionable. By implementing a form of "tipflation" the…read morerestaurant has raised prices by 18%. What's worse is it's a hidden gratuity that you may never notice. Pro Tip: Unbelievable someone has to be told this; check every item on your bill. Always look for posted signs as you initial enter; especially near the cash register. Also read the menu thoroughly. Normally, I wouldn't complain too loudly about an automatic 18% gratuity. What if today's service was lousy? It's no longer a tip, but a service charge. The biggest problem is not informing customers in advance. Maybe illegal? Well, IYKYK. I hate their dining room and probably always will. It's just like a boring, drab, dull office building cafeteria with no colour and nothing on the walls. Just an opinion. Always wanted to vent that. When it comes to customer service they are smiling, friendly and accommodating. Things have become a tad slow since pandemic. Maybe it's yet one more staffing shortage? The food here is very good. I encourage you to try the duck. Friends swear by the Wuxi Ribs. They did just raise the price to $22; but remember to add the 18% so that entree is now $26. I wonder if being a family O/O business, all tips stay in the building. Isn't that just a hidden price increase? 11/24

I recommend the soups - I love the beef and radish soup and the miso soup. The bao buns are large and filling. I like that there is an option for contactless order and that there are utensils and napkins for patrons along with free chili oil to pack up in small containers for takeout. Many restaurants today are charging for chili oil and even utensils, which I find to be absurd. There is lemon water for patrons to serve themselves as well. Bao Space has become one of my favorite restaurants in downtown Ann Arbor. If you like authentic Chinese this is a must try.

    I cannot stop coming here!…read more The food, the service, the proximity, the cozy dining room with chili oil, black vinegar and soy sauce at each table, it's incredible. The buns are light with amazing fillings. Chicken and mushroom is my favorite. When the beef radish soup is in season, I have to get it every time. It's my favorite. The new menu items are a huge hit. Don't be shy on the chili oil. If you can handle a fair heat, then you'll love them. Angry red but not that spicy. The bbq pork belly boa is to die for and Jessi can make you whatever bubble tea you like. (I don't like a lot of sugar) Don't sleep on this place. It's popular for a reason. Order ahead on snackpass for takeout or dine in for a quick lunch. Best lunch in downtown Ann Arbor.
