"A quaint little restaurant serving northern Chinese dishes, keeping the decor very traditional with it's dark wooden tables and stools, windows and door frames. This was contrasted by the large use of red decorations such as lanterns and firecrackers. Walls were filled artwork showing a huge support to the communism revolution which was a bit shocking. It was a peaceful atmosphere, nice and dark bringing you out the hustle and bustle of Chinatown. It can be a bit too quiet at lunch and the cold service doesn't help and might be off putting to some. However during dinner hours the place is rammed and you often see a queue forming. Three sliver salad Consisted off bean thread noodles, carrots and seaweed which was what gave it that lovely crunchy texture. It was dressed in a lovely fragrant marinade made primarily of sesame oil and a mild chilli oil that gave it the complex flavour which made it very addictive to eat. House special baozi (pork) A very well made bun, milky and fluffy in texture and generously filled with grounded pork inside. The flavours were very balanced and the addition of onions in the pork is what gave it that lovely caramelised sweetness agaisnt the umami flavours. There was the other option of a vegetable bun but we stuck with the traditional pork. Chengdu dumplings in chilli oil and a garlicky sauce One of the finest dumplings in Chinatown won by the thinnest of the pastry and the generous aromatic pork filling. It was incredible, especially the delicate silky texture of the dumpling skin against my tongue before biting into it to release the juices and umami flavours of the meatball. I love the added greens in the meatball to give it more depth and flavour and the garlic chilli oil just boosted the flavours further and added a good kick of heat to it. Fried egg and tomato noodles A very light noodle dish offering a clear fragrant chicken broth with a lovely sweet egginess to it leaked out by the juices of the perfectly fried egg, that's still springy and silky smooth in texture. There was an abundance of sliced tomato to give it some nice mild citrus notes. They were also generous with the egg noodles which were lovely and bouncy. Sichuanese spicy beef noodle soup A much more rich and warming soup noodle dish that was incredibly good for it's price. The soup was rich with complexity from the herbs and beef stock in there, packed full of flavour with a good mild heat in there to make things more exciting. Seasoning was perfect which was hard to believe as many places in Chinatown has even had it too watered down or too salty. Beef were tender with bits of fat attached giving it more umami and egg noodles were cooked to al dente perfection. I do very much love Baozi Inn as it is good decent food at very reasonable prices. It's a place suitable for a quick bite or a meal with friends and so you find both the single diners and the slightly larger groups. The place is small though and can be quite offensive to some to do not support communism. The only thing that let me down was the service, the poor manners, abruptness and coldness from the short hair lady staff but lucky the food made up for it."
