Bo Lings

I do love me some Asian cuisine and I can get picky on some styles, so for me, Bo Ling's consistently presents a great option. For what it's worth, my general Bo Ling's experience is takeout, but even in-house is a solid choice.The General Tso's Chicken is my standard go-to, sweet, spicy, and big chunks of chicken. Add in some steamed broccoli that is usually perfectly done and some white rice and it's a great meal. The Family Style Tofu is another winner, blending veggies with a savory, non-spicy sauce over slices of tofu perfectly prepared. Both come as portion sizes that are generally more than enough and make for excellent takeout leftovers. The weekend dim sum cart is a huge pull for Bo Ling's. Steamer baskets with pork dumplings, shrimp wraps, veggies and more make their way around the restaurant and never disappoint. It's only on Saturdays & Sundays around the lunch/post-church hours and it is always a huge hit. When you add in appetizers (their crab Rangoon never misses) you can be sure you'll walk away full.Pricing definitely reflects the value. We usually drop $30 or so on a couple of takeout entrees, and with the portion size and the quality, that's a winner. There is likely a lot to the menu that I haven't even explored, but Bo Ling's always scratches the itch I need when we hanker for this kind of cuisine.

Let me preface by saying I am Chinese and grew up eating really great Chinese food in California. So I really really wanted Bo lings to be good and I had high hopes because I've had their dim sum before and it was pretty good. So we came to try their normal dinner and it was a little disappointing to me because there was definitely an American flare to it. The shu mai didn't taste authentic. The honey walnut shrimp and chicken wasn't the best either. Chicken was dry. Flavor was good though. The beef chow fun was great, I do like that one. And all the dumplings were decent as well . I think just the overall taste was not as authentic as I hoped for. But if you are an American and can't tell the difference, I think this place would be great! The food did take a bit to come out also but that's ok!

If you are looking for a nice place to get your typical US "Chinese" food, this is a nice place to do that. It was a comfortable clean restaurant with very efficient and friendly servers and variety on the menu that should please pretty much everyone. I was happy to get a good cup of hot and sour soup. That take-out staple has inexplicably disappeared from many menus. and some places that offer it just throw some chili oil in their egg drop. Nah. This was exactly what you expect with the white pepper heat, vinegar sour, tree ears, bamboo shoots, etc. I also ordered their Vietnamese style spring rolls and Szechuan dumplings. The dumplings were what are normally called wontons, and they had made a nice soy and chili oil to serve them in, piping hot with some spinach wilted on top. I liked them. 2 disappointments -First, the Vietnamese style spring rolls were a huge pile of still warm rice noodles so the split piece of boiled shrimp and a tiny strip of some sort of pork were lost in the pile of rice noodles and lettuce. If these are ordered infrequently, they probably should just drop them from the menu. The other big disappointment was that Yelp still describes them as a dim sum restaurant, and old pictures would seem to indicate that, but they are not. There is a label on the menu for dim sum and it offers steamed pork buns or shumai, nothing else. I passed up my normal dim sum spot in Overland Park to come here so that was a bummer. I could have been eating stuffed eggplant, chicken feet and sesame balls down the road. But thanks for the hot and sour soup! Hit the spot.

I have been to this Bo Lings location for lunch a few times. We have not had to wait for a table so far for lunch. I get the lunch special and I think it's a good deal. It comes with soup, crab Rangoon, and the main dish. (I like to swap the Rangoon for an egg roll) The General Tso's is my favorite and it comes with enough that I can take some home and have it for lunch the next day as well (it tastes good reheated as well). I will eat here again and I do recommend it to others.

Here from California visiting family decided to come in for lunch. Our server was really friendly and very attentive.Our order was delicious we had their lunch special.If you haven't been you need to try it!

Are there new owners or managers at the Quivira location?Quality of service has declined , it looks like a whole new staff? We've been going here for the last 13 years.

used to be good , we used to be repeat customers and spend way over $100 , we don't buy from this place anymore because their food isn't fresh anymore, they reduced the portions size alot for when you order and still overcharge. Also their famous egg rolls, they shrunk those big time in small size now and filled mostly with cheap fillers , but the price didn't change , so nope , they've lost our repeat business due to this , huge disappointment when merchants due this means they don't care about customers, they only care about the money, which is why they've lost our repeat business

I always come to Bo Lings when I'm in Lenexa for work and they never disappoint. I decided to get the Long life soup and it was delicious. The portion was definitely worth the price. My server was quick and very friendly. Will always come back.

I have not been to BoLings in years and never to this location. It did not disappoint!I had the honey walnut shrimp and it was amazing. The shrimp were giant sized and cooked to perfection. There was enough for a second meal and I did not walk away hungry. We will definitely go back. No wait on a Friday night and the service was good without lurking over the table. Everyone liked their meals and said we needed to come back next time we were craving good Chinese food. The atmosphere was casual and noise level was low enough that we could actually have a conversation with our friends.

I don't think the address listed in yelp is correct, first of all. This Bo Ling's is on 89th and Metcalf.I think they have the best dim sum in town. Staff is always friendly. The owner tries really hard to provide fast/good service.Try their tofu skin roll and pan fried fun roll! They're delicious.
