🙂 4/5 - A disappointing meal at Bao Bei

This is supposed to be “unique takes on classic Chinese cuisine” in a “Compact, stylish Chinatown space” not an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet, so set your quantity expectations accordingly. (We went with the promise of small plates of “playful, creative” food. We had the Chefs Choice menu and were sadly underwhelmed. Our "Schnaks" were: Eggplant with ginger, Bean curd with mushroom, and Crispy Tofu with a delicious garlic sweet soy sauce. Everything tasted better once dunked in that sauce, it was the highlight of the night. It made all three dishes better. Next up was Pork with Ramp Dumplings and Crab Prawn Dumplings accompanied by a Vinegar sauce. Perfectly adequate but uninspired, certainly not “inventive and fun.” The black bean bok choy with spicy peanuts arrived next. Tough to keep peanuts on bok choy, but it was tasty. This was followed by Laksa marinated chicken wings with turmeric mayo and Thai chilis. While the chilis were actually spicy, the wings themselves while physically hot, were plain and not crispy enough for our liking. The mantou buns filled with braised hoisin pork, miso serrano aioli, turmeric dill kohlrabi and the Halibut with zucchini, lobster broth, and fennel seed oil... were both bland, not “positively irresistible.” The Halibut flavours were so subtle, I felt it needed spice. I added a few remaining chillis from the chicken wings, brightening it up on my tongue. With a chef's menu, timing is key. Our plates were seemingly rushed out on a conveyor, we were finished in 1 hour. In addition to the disappointing meal, we were annoyed by the space itself. The dining room is loud and the kitchen itself was also loud. Our table was directly in front of the kitchen window, which meant we heard every order yelled out. Every... single... order... was yelled towards our table. Why? Why this layout? Why not yell the orders INTO the kitchen Chef Joël Watanabe, instead of at the diners? It boggles the mind. We did not get to try the "kick-ass fried rice," though we fear it would over-promise and under-deliver like the rest of our meal did, to us at least.
