Po's Dumpling Bar
For any of you who followed KC Dining Extravaganza, you might understand how much I love Po's Dumpling Bar. For those of you who weren't followers if KCDE, Let me review Po's one more time. Po's is quite honestly one of my favorite restaurants in town. I like it so much in fact, that I have declared on more than one occasion that I want to have my wedding there. Located on 39th Street just west of Bell this family run restaurant hits the spot when you are craving Chinese food. The entrees are fresh and amazing. You can tell that everything is home cooked as taste my vary slightly from time to time, but it is always delicio
us. Typically instead of ordering entrees, we just order a bunch of appetizers (approx. 2 per person will do the trick). Don't get me wrong, the entrees are very good (I recommend the Chicken in Yu Shang Sauce), but the appitizers are much better. Just ordering off of the appitizer menu has gotten us mocked by the staff a few times, but it is totally worth it. Everything has so much flavor, that I typically don't even need to use the soy sauce that it brought to the table. Items I recommend are the Pan Fried Onion Cakes, Cha Su Buns, any of the pan fried or steamed dumplings, Shu-Mai, and the Sesame Balls (pictured). Be careful when eating the Sesame Balls, as they are very hot on the inside. The roof of my mouth hurt for a week after I burnt it on them. Also, please note that they have many items not listed on the on-line menu. You just need to go in and try out Po's for yourself.
