Be the first YellowBot user to review Ben Pao RestaurantBusiness Description from the Web
brought to you by

Ben Pao is in a large industrial space made hip by grey and black decor, water sheeting down square columns into rock pools, and an enormous gong on the back wall. Ben Pao offers a sampling of dishes from many regional Chinese cuisines, but presented with a light twist. Even familiar dishes like Kung Pao chicken are remade with the freshest ingredients and without heavy sauces, so that every...

Editorial Reviews from the web
The mood is as contemporary as the food at this urban, sophisticated Chinese restaurant.

In Short The black-and-red color scheme is lightened by blond wood, gold walls and high-tech, Asian-inspired light fixtures. The menu offers inspired versions of traditional regional dishes, including a wide variety of starters--from satays and pot stickers to spring rolls and peanut noodle salad--that make this a great place for grazing. Popular entrees include black peppered shrimp,...

If you're torn between the exotic and the familiar, Ben Pao is your happy compromise. Though its Chinese fare is hardly served in an authentic atmosphere (read: all the servers are American and the space is trendily outfitted in red and black), the food remains delicious and the service, amiable. Take a seat at the circular bar or head deeper into the dining room, where the good-for-groups...

Decor-wise, the place is sleekly...

We contacted the restaurant before our recent trip to Chicago to find out a bit more about their Gluten Free dishes. We have not been able to find a good sweet and sour chicken for OVER a year since going gluten free due to our son's Celiac Disease. So, we thought we would ask to see if they could accomodate and accomodate they did.

Bad service outweighs good food
brought to you by
Citysearch
I went here recently for a friend's birthday. Our party was large enough (10 people) that the server received the automatic 18% tip. Throughout the night, she barely paid any attention to our table, and was borderline rude when she was taking our orders. Everything we ordered took an extremely long time to arrive. Also, the restaurant's policy is to only take three types of payment for each...
