    • Bao Zi Bar, a delicious Chinese restaurant that takes you on a journey to La Rochelle

      Just 5 minutes from the Old Port of La Rochelle lies a restaurant that will delight your taste buds. Here, everything is homemade and made on site for impeccable quality and freshness. Every day, even on Sundays, a passionate team welcomes you into a beautifully decorated room in a unique style with sober colors.

      Guoties, baos, wheat or rice noodles (called Dan Dan Mian) are handmade recipes in the Chinese tradition. With beef, chicken, duck, pork or shrimp, there is something for every taste and every budget.

      A lunchtime menu is available, as well as a children's menu, and rice dishes are on the menu if you're not a fan of noodles. Close your eyes and embark on a delicious taste journey on the premises or on your sofa; you can also order your favorite recipes online.

    After visiting Bao Zi Bar several times, I consider it the best restaurant in La Rochelle. If you love good Asian food, you'll adore it. The dishes are truly exquisite, and the service is very pleasant, attentive, and efficient. As for the restaurant itself, I felt very comfortable there, almost like I was at home, whether it was busy or not. I also loved chatting with the manager, who was very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend visiting this lovely place at least once to enjoy bao buns that will be a welcome change from the typical touristy fare in La Rochelle.

    I ordered food on Uber Eats for my children. I scheduled an order before opening, 20 minutes before the expected delivery time, and still hadn't heard anything because apparently no driver had come to pick up the order. It's not the restaurant's fault, so I called them to find out what my food would be like. A woman told me my food had been ready for 30 minutes… I said, "Okay, but it'll be cold when it's brought to me." She replied, "Yes, it will be a little cold." Okay… Almost an hour later, I called the restaurant again because the driver was supposed to pick up the order. I thought they had found a solution and that the customer experience would be respected, but I was told, "There's nothing I can do." The last time this happened to me, the restaurant placed a new order OUT OF RESPECT so that the customer would receive a hot, quality meal at home. I think that's the bare minimum. As a result, the food arrived cold and tasteless, even after being reheated, and my children and I didn't eat a thing. Extremely disappointed with the food, but even more so with the customer service.

  • "Disappointing dessert"

    3 / 5 Reviews posted by DionaD6 on 09/10/2022

    The baozi seems very good. But the rest not at all. The noodles are not real type of noodles. The dessert is so small and cold, which it should be hot and big. It’s ridiculous.

  • "Not for us"

    3 / 5 Reviews posted by Elodie1950 (Allaire, France) on 17/11/2025

    We did not enjoy the dishes which however were good. It was not what we are used to eating in an Asian restaurant. Value for money a little high.
