    First visit and although ambiance was pleasant, the overall experience was not great. I had made a note on the reservation about a special celebration and requested dining room seating and the note was totally ignored and had to ask for different table. Food appeared prepackaged and one main entree was almost inedible oversalted and when asked for some rice to dilute we were charged $8 for a side of white rice! Service was not particularly friendly and when asked questions about the menu items the server was almost bothered. Perhaps just a bad night (it can happen) and will give it another try.

    I made late reservations after attending a show downtown, and to my surprise, the kitchen was still open!!! They had great vegan options for my friend which she thoroughly enjoyed, and my crispy Korean Sticky Ribs were Heaven!!! The server initially got my fried rice order wrong and added shrimp instead of chicken, but promptly corrected the mistake and had piping hot chicken fried rice on my table in 10 minutes. Top Notch customer service! I'll be back again soon.

    Parking was scarce, because of an events in the area, but I was able to park right in front because valet wasn't being used that night. The personnel are very friendly. The food was very good. I had the Pao Pao Shrimp, Japanese Cesar salad and Salmon. I was billed a service charge, why, I don't know. A portion went to charity so I was okay spending a little more than I normally do.

    The atmosphere was really nice and the service was great. The portion size was pretty small, I order dumplings and I only got four of them. Its was 16 dollars for four dumplings, that’s kind of expensive for four dumplings.

    The apppetizers were banging! Would recommend the green beans which has the perfect amount of spice, and the shrimp app was also the bomb

    This was a great choice for dinner on Saturday night! The staff was very polite, informative and great, I would tell anyone to come and experience PAO. I've heard that Sundays are the best which the restaurant turns into a music club.

    First off, let me start by saying I am a well traveled Foodie. I eat at all different types of restaurants. but the food here was not it for me. The vegetable egg rolls had nothing but purple cabbage in them. The fried rice was awful. Bok choy was undercooked. The food was not hitting. everything was missing flavor. It almost tasted like freezer food. It’s definitely a NO for me.
