    Wow Bao is only for Delivery service. You can't even order and pick it up at the Sizzler restaurant where they are located.

    I have been daydreaming about this joint since November. I was in town for my 6 month post…read moretransplant visit at U of U so you know I had to make my way in for a meal before I headed back to Boise. We were the first ones here. I got to put my order in pretty quickly and it wasn't long till my shu mai and haw gar came out. My fried shrimp dumplings and taro cake came shortly after. I was in heaven! The dim sum here is so good! I had everything to myself since my husband doesn't really eat Chinese food. The fried shrimp dumplings are my favorite! They are crispy. The shrimp in it middle is savory and chewy. The sweet sauce it is paired with is a match made in heaven! The taro cake was hot and charry from the wok. The shu mai and haw gar were good but you can tell they were previously heated and just sitting in the warmer. They could have been hotter and the exterior could have been softer. Even though they were perfect, they were still fabulous. The service isn't the best and after my first initial visit I knew to keep my expectations low. I come here for the food and it delivers every time! I ate everything and didn't have an ounce of guilt for doing so. We don't have dim sum like this in Boise so I made sure I enjoyed and savored every bite! I look forward to coming back to SLC in a few months cause I know this joint will be on my to go list when I'm here again.

    On the plus side, they had some of the better hot & sour soups I have had, and I've tasted it all…read moreover China. It's sort-of my thing. The worst of the negative side is that we were seated next to the fish tanks and just looking at them was nausea-inducing. A couple of the were full of algae and all were dirty. For the rest of it, meh. The BBQ duck was medium. Quite good flavor, but very overcooked. We also got the mixed meat & veggie pot which was not good. 80% of the "meat" was fried tofu, the rest of it was very overcooked, and it had no real flavor. The staff was extremely attentive though--and generous. They actually gave us an extra cup of hot & sour soup because we were sharing. And they gave our daughter extra fortune cookies.

    Service is slow, so I wouldn't recommend eating here if you're looking for a quick bite to eat. Dim…read moresum is very mid-tier but very affordable and will satisfy your cravings!

    I really wanted dim sum the moment we got to SLC. All these Asian restaurants everywhere! Dim sum…read moreis something we don't have back in Boise so I'm trying to eat a much as I can before I head home. My daughter and I decided to try this joint out for lunch. They serve dim sum throughout the day so it was a win win situation. Most dim sum is in the morning so the fact we can have it for lunch was great. Walking in, I expected the joint to be nicer. Not necessarily top of the line but nicer. It was dull, crowded and dated. The lady behind the counter guided us to our table. We did breeze over the menu but I already knew what we wanted. We ordered a handful a handful of things. It all looked good on the menu and these were some of my favorite dishes growing up. Black bean spareribs, shu mai, haw gow, taro cake, lotus leaf sticky rice, bean curd with meat in the middle and long rice noodle with shrimp. Everything is pre made and sitting in a steamer bath. I would have been willing to wait for the dim sum to be made fresh instead of it just sitting around staying warm. Honestly, if I would have known that they were pre made, I probably wouldn't have come. The black bean spareribs were fatty and lacking black bean. The long rice noodles were already sauced so the sauce was thick and dry on the noodles already. The haw gaw was cold. The clear wrapping on the haw gow is my favorite and it was tough. The stuffed bean curd was pretty bland. The lotus leaf with sticky rice was good! It was hot and the filling was savory to the sticky rice. The shu mai was savory. The only thing that was honestly cooked cooked was the taro cake. It was actually steamed and then grilled. It was really good! I love the crunchy exterior and the soft middle. Half of the food was good and the other half was so disappointing. As dated as this joint is, I know places that look dated can produce some of the best food! I was hoping that this was going to be the case but it wasn't. Service was basic. It was uncomfortably warm inside the venue today. I'm happy I got to try it out but I don't see myself coming back for a second round.

    A longtime favorite for authentic Cantonese food and excellent dim sum!…read more Amazing dim sum options, especially on the weekends when the carts roll out hot and fresh. The Siu Mai (pork and shrimp) is savory and juicy -- definitely one of my favorites. I also tried the Shrimp with Chive Dumplings, and they were surprisingly excellent: juicy, savory, with a nice fresh onion flavor. The Steamed BBQ Pork Buns are pillowy soft and practically melt in your mouth with their sweet shredded pork filling. Pro tip: Just eat the fried shrimp balls! The sweet and lightly mustard-tangy sauce that comes with them, combined with some sweet chili sauce, is absolute heaven. Just don't burn your mouth when they bring them out fresh from the fryer -- you're welcome. Order 3 dim sum plates if you're hungry, or 4 if you're starving or sharing with others. It's the perfect amount! The service is good -- friendly and attentive -- but it can get a little slow when they're busy, which is often. You can tell this is a popular spot that's been a favorite in the area for many years. The large groups that regularly file into the private dining room in the back say it all. Whether you're coming for weekend dim sum, a big family meal, or classic Cantonese dishes, Red Maple consistently delivers that comforting, high-quality experience. Highly recommend -- I've been back many times and will go again soon!

    I had heard good things about this restaurant and I met a friend there for lunch…read more When we first entered it had a funky smell. It's a huge restaurant but the smell was off putting. I tried to just ignore it so we ordered. They have pretty standard lunch combinations. I can't even remember what I had. I don't think I would go back. It's pretty far from my house but I'm still on the hunt for a great Chinese restaurant to love! If you live in SLC please send me your recommendations

    I absolutely love the food here. And it's always perfect. This evening I placed a takeout order to…read morebe picked up at 6:30 PM tonight. I showed up promptly at 6:30 and she said it wasn't ready and didn't know how long it would take, and that she could call me when it was ready. I ran a few errands and then got back to the restaurant at 6:45 PM waiting for the phone call and they never called. I went into the restaurant at 7 PM to pick it up and she said, oh yeah, it's ready. I forgot to call you. So not real impressed tonight with the service. Hopefully the food makes up for it.

    Great spot for some Chinese food…read more I was visiting some friends in Utah and they were really excited to take me to this restaurant. They said it was their favorite in town and that I just had to try it so I was really excited for it. When we arrived, we didn't realize, but it was prom night and so a lot of kids were dressed up in there prom outfits. Because we made a reservation, we were seated quickly. The server was really friendly and very helpful, very knowledgeable of the menu. We decided to do it, Family style and ordered a couple different things to share. We started off with an order of their Dumplings, then ordered cashew nut chicken, beef, and broccoli, and fried rice. The Dumplings were really big and fresh, so that was super good. The flavor was really nice. The cashew chicken was so good! The sauce that they used in the flavors were really good. The beef and broccoli was also yummy. The sauce with the seasonings that they chose, tasted like your traditional beef and broccoli. The fried rice was also very traditional. Definitely something you would expect. Overall, all the food had really great quality and tasted exactly how you would think so. I definitely think if you're looking for Chinese food in Utah, this is a great place to start.
