    Sitting at the edge of old Chinatown, Bao Bei is a Chinese brasserie where the menu reads like classic dishes that took a very interesting detour. The chef's approach leans playful rather than reverent: mantou buns packed with braised pork and miso-serrano aioli, fried rice built around bitter melon and masala-preserved mushrooms. Nothing here is trying to be traditional, and it doesn't pretend otherwise. The Michelin Guide has selected it.

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Kick ass fried rice

      “Take the "kick ass fried rice," their savory and a tad sweet version of the ubiquitous standard.”

      Michelin Guide

    • Mantou buns

      “Mantou buns filled with braised pork, hoisin, pickled ginger and miso-serrano aioli are positively irresistible”

      Michelin Guide

    • Braised pea shoots with garlic

      “even seemingly simple plates, like braised pea shoots with garlic, bring the flavor.”

      Michelin Guide

    • Beef tartare with taro chips

      “Unlike an ordinary Chinese restaurant, the talented chef takes exotic ingredients and creates unusual dishes like beef tartare with taro chips or Hokkaido scallops with wild mushrooms, lotus root and baby gailan.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
