The Baoli Noodle House - Medicine Hat

I was walking in downtown when I saw this Chinese restaurant, small with no big sign on the front.

Yesterday I went to this restaurant and ordered food Take-Out. I got home and went to eat. I had ordered the Won Ton soup and unfortunately it was so peppery I couldn't eat it and I ended up flushing it down the toilet. Interestingly, although the soup was so peppery- the broth was bland. I was quite happy with the Egg Roll- it was very tasty. I also ordered the #C which had the Chicken Fried Rice, Pineapple Chicken with Vegetables and BBQ Pork. Again, the Pineapple Chicken was very peppery. There was definitely no BBQ to the Pork and it was salty- it appeared like bare slices of Pork. The Chicken Fried Rice was good though- I would order that again. I still have the majority of the dinner left because I didn't want to waste it, but I'm thinking I might have to. I had come here to this site before going to this restaurant and I guess I had quite high expectations after reading the reviews here. I wish I could give the praise that most of the reviews have, but in my case- I cannot. A couple other positives though are that the gentleman who served me and cooked the food was very pleasant, and the food was done quickly.

This truly is a "hole in the wall" as another reviewer said. We would have missed it if we hadn't been walking. One family that was leaving told us the food was excellent and asked where we were from. When we said the U.S., he said, "it took me 5 years to find this place and this is your first trip and you found a jewel. Bbq beef and veggies were beyond delicious. Chicken Fried rice was exceptional! We ordered the dinner for 2 combo and had plenty to take back to our motel. Love this place!!!

I ate here with my 4 kids between 9 and 4 years of age. The food was really fast, super yummy and the couple there were really generous and kind. They chatted with my little kids and were really fun. The restaurant was quiet (no music playing) so we could talk with each other easily. The entrance is really small and easy to walk by. We really enjoyed our experience here.

We pulled up out front and weren't going to go in...first impression is a little hole in the wall (literally just a door!). We went for it because of the existing online reviews. The ambiance isn't great, but the reception is. We were greeted warmly and welcomed in. We ordered and our food was on the table piping hot in about 10-15 minutes. The egg rolls were amazing! We had some pork fried noodles, shrimp and veggies and pan fried beef. Everything was great, and the veggies were so fresh! My hubby found some of the sauce a little on the salty side, but I think that's to be expected to some extent with this type of food. I really wanted to try one of the noodle soups, and I will be back for sure!
