Of all the Chinese restaurants I have visited in KC, Bo Ling's is by far my favorite. Love the General's Chicken because it has the best quality white meat with a great flavor. Their chicken fried rice is also amazing because they still use white meat chicken and a lot of it, so you don't feel like you're just eating rice with a couple nibbles of chicken in there. Don't forget the awesome crab rangoon and eggrolls!!?
