Bo Lings City Market

Richard and Theresa spent their teen years working in the family run restaurant, the Dragon Inn, working hard and developing a passion for the art of the restaurant business. With a strong desire to serve the highest quality Chinese cuisine in a fine dining atmosphere, the two young entrepreneurs created the Bo Lings concept in 1981 when they opened their first location at 91st and Metcalf. The business grew steadily, beyond their imaginations, due to a combination of hard work and authentic dishes created using the best quality ingredients available. Devoted guests have created a demand for locations that cover just about every part of the greater Kansas City area. The second location opened at the Board of Trade building at 48th and Main, and moved to 47th and Jefferson in the historic Skelly building in 2013. Other locations followed: the Lenexa location at 95th and Quivira, Overland Park South at 135th and Metcalf, then Zona Rosa and the City Market. The Ng family continues to carry on the long-time family tradition. Richard and Theresa’s daughter, Rebecca and son Raymond along with his wife Momoko and many long time employees, still share the principles and a commitment to providing an exciting, updated menu as well as their signature flavors.They still treat guests as if they were family and continue to support their community. Their recipe has been passed down from past generations to those still to come, with tastes from the homeland to the community that is now home, Kansas City.
