Bo’s Kitchen KC - Kansas City, Missouri

Kyle Lawson

I have been here twice now to order a few different things. The sesame chicken is phenomenal! I love that it was huge chunks of all white meat and not extra breaded dark meat like you typically get in Chinese establishments. The next time I got the sweet and sour chicken. The sauce was quite tasty and the chicken was super crunchy. It wasn't a typical smooth breaded like you normally see, but rather a panko style super crunchy breading. The only disappointing part is that it does not come with bell peppers despite a picture of it in their menu. The employee said they need to update that picture. The place was clean, the staff is friendly, and the portions were good size. I really love that the menu is limited, this way I don't have to argue with myself over what to eat because of so many options. One thing I don't like is having to type in my phone number at the kiosk when ordering. I don't like giving out my phone number if at all possible because we all know what will happen once our number is out there. Another small issue I had was when the employee brought out food, it was only for my spouse. I had to wait another 5 minutes before my meal came out. Meals should arrive together or within a few seconds so the other person is not having to wait and allow their food to get cold. Finally, I would say the only aspect I really am uncomfortable with is what I see in other restaurants too. The ordering screen has a tip option when you go to pay and it starts with a recommended 20%. It comes up really big and the worker behind the counter is watching so they can see if you tip or not. I am sorry but I don't like being prompted to tip when it is the kind of eating establishment that does not typically require tipping. I ordered the food myself, typed it in, got my own drink, and never waited on a waiter other than to be brought my food like 20 feet away. To me this should not warrant a tip. The restaurant itself needs to be paying employees a living wage and not relying on guests to pay even more in tips. In all it was a good experience and I would return.

Yo, I love this place. I live in the river market and this is one of my main go-to's for close, fast and AFFORDABLE food in my hood. The tofu pad Thai is $10 for crying out loud.

Is it the best Asian food I have ever had? Well.... for the price it is.

Visited Bo's this weekend and the updated look and feel of the concept is great. Going in you're greeted with the kitchen and registers. The space is very clean and has a nice little dining area on the right side of the building. Food was prepared very quickly. The bowls are actually pretty perfectly sized (for me) so we tried the sesame and ginger chickens along with the crab rangoons. Price was very reasonable for the food and it's nice to have a solid chinese restaurant in the market again. Looking forward to going back

Simple fare: it's exactly what you'd expect for inexpensive Chinese.

Location has a lot of natural light, everything needed ready to go, and the touch screen order interface is the difficulty level of the Door dash application.

The brown rice could use some help but the fact that it's an option without an upcharge makes up for as much.

Extremely good food! Everything was so flavorful and fresh. We got the dumplings, sesame chicken with lo mien, and the Dan Dan noodles. All of it was so good. Perfect size portions. The service is friendly and easy. Great location in the market too.

I ordered Tofu Pad Thai to-go. I was the only person in the restaurant at 530p. The food was flavorless - no spice or flavor. I've never had Pad Thai this bad. The egg rolls were good though. Didn't impress me.

No issues with the service or atmosphere. Ordering was a pain since the two kiosks we tried to order from had issues with the credit card reader. Person behind the counter had to ultimately take our order and payment. Food lacking in flavor and was mostly bland with the exception of the sauce on the beef bowl that was too sweet.

Thought we would try this out in a pinch for dinner. Absolutely blown away by the quality and taste of the food! Our order was even checked before leaving the store to ensure all items were prepared properly! Will certainly be back 10/10 a must try!!
