Wow has this place gone downhill! I haven’t eaten here in about 2 years and decided to order a few things through delivermefood. The shrimp egg rolls were okay as well as the pork egg rolls. Nothin special mind you. I also ordered General Chicken and got big tough stringy pieces of chicken. The Roast Pork and Braised Tofu was flavorful but the pork was full of fat and gristle. I would say half of it was inedible and there wasn’t much of it there. The pork fried rice was bland and had even more gristle and fat than the other dish. I will never be ordering from them again. So disappointed in the LOWQUALITY of their food. I’ll stick with Peking in Lakewood. They never disappoint.

Best pot stickers in the world!!! Haven’t tried much else but I don’t feel that I need to. I love Boo Long and that’s that

I got take away and was really disappointed. The flavor was missing from my food, which was really odd since I thought General Tso’s Chicken is usually a spicy dish. It wasn’t spicy. It wasn’t sweet. It really didn’t taste like much. Some of the chicken was not edible. Thrown in with all the chicken were a few pieces of broccoli drowned and therefore saturated in the chicken’s no doubt sugar laden sauce. I won’t be returning here.

I only go there for family events. So last night. I was awful. No taste to any of the dishes. Needed hot and soy sauce for everything. Besides that the interior looks more and more outdated and gross(I’ve posted some pictures). Staff is typical unfriendly and unmotivated. 2nd star is for the dim-sum which is usually decent.

We ordered a meal to-go from here last Sunday and it was one of the worst meals we have ever had. The Won Ton soup tasted like hot water with unseasoned noodles. Sweet and Sour chicken was dry and hard. We will never order from here again.

Killer dim sum!!! Everyday until 3pm. Food is worth the price and food is also exquisite. Best dim sum we have had since we left San Francisco!

Ordered takeout. My order was finished quickly. The vegetable fried rice is delicious. I also ordered the Chicken with Broccoli. It was literally boiled chicken with steamed broccoli and carrots. No sauce whatsoever. I think they may have used a little salt to season it and nothing else. It was extremely watery. Do not recommend.

Big menu, wide variety of food. The Lobster dish is good, some of the other dishes are miss and hit. Gotta try for yourself!

Very disappointed with my 24 year«homecoming» with Bo Loong. They got the tea correct when I requested Pu Li, instead of the default jasmine. Then the bad news, only one cart, for the entire restaurant, I’m not even sure if the steamers were on… The single standout was the sticky rice covered in lotus leaf. In the menu, one is reminded that the cover is not edible. I guess some poor soul ate it, making that story legendary in the kitchen. Make sure you get the Pu Li tea, its the perfect pairing with dim sum, specially if the dim sum is greasy.

Pleasantly surprised! Arrived on Sunday around 11am for dim sum, and the place was dead… Like two other small tables. They only had a few carts going around, and a smaller selection than what Li Wah would be pushing. There also did not appear to be a dim sum menu, which makes things difficult for patrons who have never had dim sum or do not speak Canto/Mando. By noon, the place was filling but there was no wait line to be seated. Usually I find dim sum to be on the greasier side, but Bo Loong was on point! No excess grease except for maybe on the salt baked squid. My favorite was probably the dou miao, which is a green leafy veggie sauteed with garlic, or the har gaw, which is a shrimp type of dumpling.

Place is pretty good. I think you just have to know what you’re ordering. My favorite is the walnut shrimp and mushroom Yee noodles. This place is family owned and definitely reminds me of Asian soul food. Great for drunk nights after the club. :)

Dim Sum at the Bo Loong Restaurant reminds me of growing up in Hong Kong. Going to dim sum over there was done multiple times a week! Bo Loong is always excellent and always authentic from the friendliness of the ladies pushing the carts of dim sum around to the freshness of the food.

Came here on the way back from vacation. Been here many times growing up and food is good quality. Fried flounder, pan fried seafood noodle and gently fried chicken are good dinner options here. They also have tender pork chop cutlets in sweet and sour and A1 sauce mix. Entrees extend beyond typical fast food Chinese meals. The atmosphere isn’t high grade but nice for a small family & friends gatherings, good for kids and a down to earth setting.

I was pretty impressed! Not even taking into account that they’re one of the few places in town that offers Dim Sum… Ordered the Duck and Vegies as well as the Beef Chow Mein. We went on Chinese New Year so I also ordered several potstickers and dumplings. I guess my only complaint is that the dumplings were fried, but hey, they were still delicious! Everything I had was flavorful, chock full of bok choy, meat, sprouts, all the good stuff! Our service was also spot on. Honestly, couldn’t ask for more! I’ve also ordered catering from them, several times actually. Every time it’s been authentic(and I feel like I can say that because I work with several Cantonese coworkers and students), well sized for the price, delivered on time., and all that good stuff. In fact, earlier in the day I’d had some of their dumplings catered. These weren’t fried(not sure if I just didn’t see them on the menu or if they were a special catering offering for the day)., but they were amazing! Overall, a big fan!

FAIL. Baked Salted Fish? Was… fried. No spice at all. Ma Pao Tofu? Tasteless.(really? is this their version of spicy?) Cashew Chicken? Basically was a container of oily onions. Only saving grace? SHARK’S FINDUMPLING& Szechwan Eggplant. Will never order lunch from there again. Tasteless. Grease. Boring. They also forgot to include chop sticks. *sigh*

HOLYCRAP how disappointing! I was a long time regular of Bo Loong many years ago and when it came time to make Easter dinner plans for 12 folks I thought this would be the perfect place. Well, now I have to be held accountable for dragging my family and kin to a terrible and poorly served meal. I don’t know what much to say besides that the service was unfriendly and inattentive, the food ranged from uninteresting to inedible, and everyone’s meals were brought out at different times which sucked. My main squeeze got a beef dish which was gristley and chewy, I chose a duck dish which was soggy, mostly skin and fat, and had so much cartilage and bone fragments throughout that I gave up on trying to eat. No one finished their meals, I am rather embarrassed having made this suggestion. Also, we never got a drink menu of any kind, and we had to ask for water twice. Not a single person working there so much as greeted us even fake warmly, or smiled, or otherwise made us feel welcome there for a meal. The only reason I am giving 2 stars is because I remembered the late nights I used to spend there and how sweet they were, and how the cocktails ruled and the kareoke was awesome. But today was a total suck.

Open late… hilarious karaōke(when it works). But when it does… you won’t be able to stop laughing at the videos that are played along with the music!!! Dim-sum…I advise weekend only, go early and take an Asian person with you if you want to actually be served. I speak from experience, having frequented the establishment with my(now ex) Filipino husband. Rest of the menu… blah. New Wong’s(now called wonton BBQ or something) will meet all your delicious Chinese food needs, and is more authentic!

This was the worst dim sum experience I have ever had. We got a couple of things off a cart that happened to be near our table when we were seated. After that, we waited for 30 — 45 minutes… watching people come in after us and having the carts rush over. All the new guests being served were Chinese. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not. But after waiting that long and not having any carts stop by(and a person who I thought was a manager brushing us off), we paid our balance and left. As we were paying the bill, a lady(I am guessing she is the owner) asked us if everything was okay. Since I was too livid to talk, my friend politely stated we didn’t get much food. The lady said we should have told her and she would have gotten all the carts to our table immediately. Oh, I didn’t realize it was my job to guarantee I got food at a restaurant. My bad.

Here is where you can get«value» dim sum. By «value,» I mean both the food quality and selection are much worse here than at Li Wah, but this restaurant is also significantly cheaper. Really though, I would spend the extra money and go to Li Wah. Or better yet, get dim sum in another city. I mean, seriously, if you see five times as many cars in the parking lot for Siam Café across the street, it doesn’t tell you something about this place?

I suppose that to many, Chinese food is like that pizza/sex saying that«even when it’s bad, it’s still pretty good.» I think that’s how i feel about Chinese food. Bo Loong completely and utterly FAILED at the wonton soup. Zero taste. Forgettable wontons. Too many scallions … Clear broth? WTF?! Everything else, though, fell somewhere between«passable» and«pretty good» except the pork egg roll, which was excellent. I’ll give a separate star rating to each item I tried because … Well, because I feel like it. Wonton soup: * shumai: **** steamed pork buns: **(what a disappointment! There was too much bun and not enough pork, and way too much fatty crap in there. I don’t mean that the pork was fatty, i mean it was simply pork fat and not enough actual meat.) Pork egg roll: ***** fried dumplings: **(weirdest dumplings ever …) Chicken and broccoli: *** Will I order again? Hmmmm… probably not. You f@ck with my wonton soup, you f@ck with me, son!
