The food was good. They were flexible with their menu items for those with allergies. The service was awesome! It had a peaceful atmosphere.

Date night at Pao. Service was wonderful and servers are very attentive. We ordered beef dumplings, bang bang shrimp, and chicken lettuce wraps. Hands down the appetizers were really good and fresh. Main entrees general tos chicken, chicken fried rice, beef stir fry and miso Chilean sea bass. Our mains were pretty decent. Few friends have said around 9pm they have a live dj and live dance shows but nothing like that was happening today on a Friday night. (6:30 - 8:00). They don't have a dessert menu but did offer a brownie skillet and it was horrible! Great place for date nights or to grab dinner with friends. Not kid friendly ( parents be warned) They offer valet parking $15 for Pao guest. ( I would suggest valet parking as it is difficult to find parking) 20% gratuity added to the check Website menu and in restaurant are different I believe they change their menu.

A beautiful restaurant with good service and fabulous food. We started with the lychee drink and the Asian cucumber salad which was delicious. Next we had the Singapore noodles which were totally outstanding and the general pao chicken which was delicious. The decor is really something be sure to go upstairs to see it all.

We came to celebrate my sister's birthday and had a fun night. I love the dark decor and open space. Every time I've come I've sat upstairs and I highly recommend sitting there if you want a more lively night! The DJ was playing hits while we were at dinner and incorporated some Arabic music, making us feel right at home! We shared a bunch of appetizers and I recommend trying the crab Rangoon, crispy shrimp, and veggie egg rolls! For my main I had the kung pao chicken which had good flavors. Portion size was a bit smaller but overall I enjoyed the dish. Our waiter was very attentive even while serving many other tables. I appreciated that he brought out sparklers for us and made sure to play birthday music - it was a vibe! Overall good experience and will definitely be back!

Nicely executed Chinese food overall, we liked everything we got, but the mushroom dish was by far the best of the 4 things we tried. With the name, Pao, I was hoping for more dumpling/ bao options, but there was only one dumpling on the menu, which was a braised beef, it was ok, but I was wishing there was more to it. Kinda one note for a dumpling. If you love exploring Chinese cuisine, this is going to be a little boring, but everything was well executed and tasty. The two cocktails we ordered were a little sweet to our taste, so if you are the same, grab a beer instead. Also a 20% service charge on our table of two, FYI. Service was very good and the space is lovely.

April 24,2024 Service was phenomenal! The ambiance was intimate,relaxed,and friendly. Great for date night or a late night out with friends. Drinks (mock-tails) were fun and exquisite. The menu online was not the same inside the restaurant.The menu at the actual restaurant was very limited. Food was fresh but lacked taste . It's a great place to experience something new and interesting!

This place is sooo good. I usually don't review a restaurant until I've gone a few times and tried different things. Now that I've done that, I can honestly say I love this place! To start, the service is great. Servers and managers (?) are kind and attentive. They accommodated my large group when many guest were running late due to weather. They opened earlier on a day where there was lot going on downtown (smart of them). They even checked in on people spending a long time in the bathroom (tailgating gets the best of some). The food though, is what makes me keep coming back! Everything I have gotten - cocktails, apps, meals are all DELICIOUS! If going with a group, I highly recommend getting a bunch of apps to share. I haven't had one I didn't enjoy. Also their espresso martini is one of my favs in the city. Don't sleep on it!
