Baobae — Restaurant in Conroe

My first meal there was a lunch special (cashew nut chicken) to go with egg drop soup. Portions were good, and it was nice they included an egg roll and an egg drop soup to go. Not all places send the soup with a to-go order... dine in only. I didn't care for it very much, but the service was absolutely excellent. I had them again today (beef and broccoli lunch special), and it was a bit better. I tried their hot and sour soup and preferred it to their egg drop. I think my timing was off the first time, as it was around 2ish... end of lunch. My 1pm lunch was better. I will temper this review by saying that I am notoriously picky when it comes to Chinese food, as I lived in Asia for several years. This scratches the itch. I can't stress how super nice and polite the employees are, and I will keep coming back and exploring their menu. I'm sure they have something they make that is super amazing, but I'm still new to them. If you want great service and a fast lunch at a good price, I would...

I have to say I went there for lunch with my friend today. The food was good, however…… We dined in and found out you order from the counter you pick up your own food and everything is served on disposable plates and plastic cutlery. I asked why everything was disposable, and he said because it’s too hard trying to hire servers and dishwashers so all of the utensils and plates and bowls are disposable and there are no servers. However,if I am paying that much for a meal. I expect to be served I will not return I do not even use paper plates in my home. I don’t expect it in a sit down restaurant .

Update: the owner responded & I appreciate that. I said the food was good but it is ruined by the presentation. The paper plate is the brown cardboard type. Remember that presentation is a large part of your eating experience and the prices are not lower than any other restaurant in the area. Sorry but the New Concept...

I ordered takeaway from this place recently and it was good, but not spectacular. I had the hot and sour soup which is what you would expect from any place - decent flavour. I also ordered the Sesame Chicken because my app said it was a popular dish. It was good, the chicken was tender but could have had a bit more flavour in the sauce - it was also too sweet. I also had the Edamame with spicy garlic and asked for "medium spicy" - it had no spice at all. I know spiciness is relative but I expected some kick and it was not there. The Edamame was steamed to perfection and otherwise good. Based on these items, I would not order again. I was not unhappy with my meal, just not impressed given the good reviews I read...
