"If you’re one of those people who likes to eat from a bowl, I find Bao Bao a FiDi spot where the menu is evenly divided between noodle bowls and over-rice bowls; on a recent visit I particularly enjoyed the “beef over rice” (R2), which had a bed of perfectly cooked short-grain rice crowned with baby tatsoi and topped with thin-sliced beef that carried a slightly sweet and spicy flavor. Ramens, hot pots, and snacks like tea eggs and enoki mushroom salads add depth to the menu, though there are no dumplings; there’s also another branch on lower Lexington Avenue." - Robert Sietsema
