I came by la Baotique for a quick lunch and was immediately greeted with excellent, attentive service and even better food.
The beef Bao was particularly phenomenal and the home made soy sauce to die for. Highly recommend La Baotique to anyone who is looking for an authentic Chinese dumpling meal, both to dine in and take away.
The food was so delicious I had to order a second round to take back to my family for dinner.
Will definitely be returning!
