One thing I did notice was they didn't offer tea which is usually customary at Chinese restaurants. It's just an observation ( not a critique). Love all the original work of art on the walls. I felt like I was in someone's tasteful livingroom. Looking forward to returning after another hike in Auburn.

FOOD - Walnut Shrimp: battered shrimp with candied walnuts…read moreover broccoli. The shrimp wasn't crunchy enough. Walnut shrimp is my go-to when I have Chinese food so I'm a little bit of a walnut shrimp snob. This was pretty mid. 3.5/5 - Mongolian Beef: beef with onions, red bell peppers, and bok choy. The flavor was pretty good. The beef was tender enough. 3.75/5 - Orange Chicken combo: orange chicken with chow mein, and egg roll. The chicken wasn't dry but not very tender either. The flavor was okay. The chow mein and vegetable egg roll were pretty standard. 3.5/5 - Fried Rice and 4 Dumpling set combo: the fried rice was, also, pretty standard. The pork dumplings were pretty good. The side of wonton soup was good. 3.75/5 SERVICE: Service was pretty fast and friendly. 4/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: Everything was okay. Nothing was bad, just nothing to write home about.

Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing from the start. The woman helping me at the front was very rude during our interaction. Since it was my first time there, I was simply asking a few questions about the menu, but I felt unwelcome the entire time. Honestly, I considered leaving before ordering, but I still wanted to give the restaurant a chance because I was hoping to find a good new go-to place nearby. I ordered the lunch special Peking pork with fried rice, which also came with an egg roll. The Peking pork had very little actual meat and was mostly thick fried breading. Because of the sauce, the breading became soggy and lacked texture and flavor. The broccoli on the side was bland, and the fried rice also had very little flavor. I also ordered the combination chow mein, which was probably the best part of the meal. The portion size was decent, although the noodles seemed slightly undercooked. For the two dishes, the total came out to around $38, which felt overpriced, especially for lunch specials and the quality of the food. On a positive note, the inside of the restaurant looked clean and had a nice atmosphere. There were several employees working, so I can't speak for everyone there, but the customer service I personally received at the front was not pleasant. Overall, I would not recommend this place based on my experience. The customer service was poor, and the food was below average.

All You Can Eat-ish... Bar-B-Que…read more.. I was excited to find out there was a Mongolian BBQ in Auburn. For weeks, my coworker and I have been trying to get our schedules lined up so we can go try it out together. Finally, tonight was that night. We parked in a large parking lot around the corner and noticed it was not busy. One of the employees was sitting outside (outdoor seating is available) on his phone, but he was so welcoming and opened the door for us. He took us to a booth and gave us the run down. Sit. Order your drinks, and go get food. Go back for more, because it's ayce... Tony was really nice and had a great smile! He told us how it works - The server would be over to get out drink order. Then, she brought us some crispy wonton chips with some sweet & sour, a cup of soup each, and a small bowl of rice to share... although there are signs that say "do not share," lol. I'm not sure why you can't share if everyone is paying the same price and eating almost the same exact thing... especially, if it's ayce for everyone... It was exciting to see what they had to offer. After finishing the soup, we walked around the wall to fill your bowl with meats (choice of pork, chicken, beef, or lamb), noodles, vegetables, and at the very end, the flavorful liquid. These liquids make your dish. You can put on a simple teriyaki, but that will make it sweet. There is a house sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, wine, vinegar, and kung pao sauce. If you aren't sure what you like, there is a "Sum's Sauce Recommendation" recipe up for your convenience. **Be sure to tip the grill cooks!! The best way I have noticed to do this is to grab 2 bowls. One of for your food and the other, you will want to fill to the at least half way with your liquids. The saucier the better with me! I spoke to the cashier in the front... who told me it's $21 to dine in, and $17 to take it to go since the person taking theirs to go wouldn't be ayce.... (never mentioning the extra charge.) When we sat down, it felt like something in it was missing... maybe a little salt? Usually, I nail my own sauce recipes. Good amount of soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger... garlic, chili oil... a little kung pao... Since we weren't too happy with the flavor of our first bowl, and finished just over half... and this was an ayce... we decided to go back and tweak our creation. This one had better flavor (I added A LOT of soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil), but I seriously could still not taste the sesame oil and this trip, and I used a lot (is there such thing as sesame water?). Then, I wondered if they were using low sodium soy sauce (i asked, and it was regular). I'm wondering if all these sauces are watered down since the soy sauce and ginger sauce were lacking major flavor. The sesame oil couldn't even be detected... so either it is old or a not so good brand. I figured I would just take the rest home and fix up the flavor... and since I overheard a server offer to box someone's meal up...I thought that was neat that we were able to take out food home...turns out... we had to pay to take home the rest of our bowls(extra$9), or pay extra to not take it home... a "waste" charge(extra$8). When we first walked in and we asked how this Mongolian BBQ worked, they left out the part about paying for waste/ or taking home the rest of your food for a charge. If we had not gone back for a 2nd bowl, we would not have had to pay the extra charge because we would've just not finished it and left. I felt a little ripped off. Of course, after we were ready to pay, they pointed to the sign on the wall that we did not see... in fairness, we did ask how they operated and we were told to go get more... but we were not told about the extra charge. I felt cheated. Over all, it was not bad, it just was not good. It was edible, but definitely not worth the extra charge.. i didn't even want to bring it home, but with the extra charge, I figured I would fix it up at home to make it taste better. This brought our bill to close to $60... $30 split each. Not worth it. I feel like a great honest business that is confident in what they serve would have been up front about the charges before springing them on you in the end. They even brought us the bill without the extra charge when they noticed we were close to finishing, but then took the check back to add on the extra charge. The signs should have been pointed out. Service was great. Food was not anything to be excited about. Day after, I warmed up my food with a few drops of a sesame oil that I have.. it added 10 times more flavor than the 2 ladles of soy sauce and 3 ladles of sesame oil that I added at this restaurant.

Ai bao is a rare spot in Auburn with both great asian snacks and teas…read more Auburn is typically low on good Asian spots so this is a real find. First off when you enter the interior is rather modern and very clean you are greeted by the smell of incense (which I like) . The service is cordial and quick, our server was very nice and took our order quickly service. For the food we got some fried BBQ pork baos I think these were homemade the filling was really good not too sweet not too fatty and not too salty - very balanced I liked that the top was brushed with oil and had some scallions on top! My only feedback is that these should be filled more and they bottoms should be fried till golden. For their drinks we got the berry freeze and the mango fruit tea, this might sound like a complaint but It really isn't - they took their time to make these drinks and they made it damn good. Especially the mango fruit tea, strong tea flavor but not too bitter and tasted not overpowered by the fruit flavor either

However, one of the items I wanted was not ready. I was quoted 4 minutes. My BESTIE got her meal and sat down and was already eating within minutes. My 3 entree plate had already been boxed up, minus the chicken and mushrooms and sat on the counter I guess that is the downside to ordering through the app. If they are out of an item, you'll have to wait verses ordering by sight and you can switch up to the available items. After 10 minutes, Panda express was getting pretty busy and I was still waiting for my food. I went to the front counter and waited behind food delivery persons to speak to a staff member. That was about another 5 minutes. Finally, the staff member saw me and grabbed the chicken and mushrooms from the cooks in back and finished up my box and handed it over to me. Just as I suspected though... it was not hot. Not even the chicken and mushrooms. So I walked back over, stood there for another few minutes and when I finally got her attention, she remade my entire meal super fast. It was after 4:20 (could've been longer, or it just felt like it, lol) when I was finally sitting down.... with again, warm food. Not hot. Now, what was going on?? Why is their food not hot?? My entire plate again was just warm. After the couple bites of warm food, I just closed the box and saved it for later on. As disappointed in the food temp as I was... I was impressed by the work ethic of everyone when it got busy and how quickly the particular staff member got my food when she finally saw me standing there waiting. However... what is up with receiving warm food? Especially with me waiting as long as I did for the chicken and mushrooms... why was that just warm? When I got home, my daughter warmed it up in the microwave for dinner.
