Bo Lings, Chinese Please!

How exactly does one review an institution? When Susan and I first started dating this was our anytime place for dinner. When we moved in together, bought a home together, and started a family together, Bo Lings was a constant (like weekly) in our lives. When baby came along we were overjoyed to discover that Chinese Please! was on his menu also. Bo Lings, www.bolings.com, in our opinion, is the best Chinese in Kansas City. I realize these are potentially fightin' words, but we've honestly found nowhere better. The favorites are represented; General Tso's Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Sweet and Sour Pork, Egg Drop and Sweet and Sour Soup, all of which are stellar examples of familiarity. The lights really shine with the not so familiar; Lamb and Scallions, Beijing Roast Duck, Cantonese Whole Flounder (with chili sauce), Singapore Curry Noodles, one cannot really go wrong with any offering. Bo Lings also offers a traditional menu in some locations if you ask for it. This is where you'll find some more adventurous eating; hot pots, chicken feet, seafood and livestock combinations not normally encountered. We've sampled so much that I can't honestly point to singular favorites, just that everything we've had has been excellent. Even the adventurous items that weren't exactly what we thought have always been delicious. Bo Lings has locations all over town, find one and go. At this point I'm going to diverge a little from traditional reviewing and make a request... Bo Lings also has a traditional Dim Sum on weekends, it is phenomenal from what I understand, but since I've never been, I would like Miss Tex Houston to maybe reply with her capable and knowledgeable thoughts. You out there Tex?
