Absolutely fantastic meal at Bao & Beyond today. We started with the Bulgogi and Bahn Mi buns, which came out very quickly. Both buns were absolutely stacked and had terrific flavor. After the buns we did the Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich and Grandma’s Pad Thai (special). Fried chicken sandwich was a medium spice level, perfect crunch and came with an insane amount of fries. Grandma’s Pad Thai – this might be my favorite Pad Thai in New England (Choppystix Portsmouth also up there). Big portion, excellent fried chicken and the most flavorful noodles that tied it all together.
This place is an absolute gem and we will be back soon. Bonus points for a very clean and nice bathroom!

Love this place! We’ve been fans for years and we’re always excited to visit their food truck and the new permanent location is just as awesome. Nice people, great menu, super tasty food! The drink selection is really good too – local beers, fun tea options. Can’t wait to go back!

Very fresh ingredients, flavorful rice bowl beef bulgogi, very tasty & crunchy gyoza.
The mockjito was also very good with fresh fruits! Service is very personal and attentive.

Food was so great, I came back again the next day! Had two baos – chicken and bulgogi. Both were amazing and well cooked. Also had the chicken entree dish, which was also incredibly tasty. The meat isn’t overcooked, and the veggies are fresh.
Came back the next day and tried the bulgogi entree – best two days in Maine!

10/10 restaurant – the food was absolutely delicious, had the banh mi bao, beef bulgogi bao, and a matcha latte! They are some of the best I have ever had! I will be coming back!

This place is a hidden gem! To start, the service was incredible. The sweet woman who took my order on the phone had such a warm energy about her and I can tell she cares about her business. We ordered the Bao trio, Bulgogi rice bowl, Sichuan chicken sandwich and the pork gyoza. The food is authentic, delicious, and very clearly made with love. We will absolutely be returning. I wish nothing but success and prosperity to this business and happy to have a great spot to order from here in Augusta!

I’ve been getting their food for a few years, I’m never disappointed. Amazing staff, everyone is pretty nice. Food is always delicious no matter what, if you’re in the mood for spicy chicken it will definitely hit the spot. Options for everyone, I haven’t tried the new brunch food yet. As for the inside of the restaurant it’s intimate but not too much, spaced out pretty well, it has a cozy vibe to it at night when the outside is cold and the music is playing. I will keep coming back so I definitely recommend this place to anybody who wants to try Asian fusion.

Up from Portland for work and I honestly am gutted at the idea of living over an hour from Bao & Beyond. I’m not even done with my meal yet and had to write this review. It is stupid good! I had two bao buns, banh mi and fried chicken. Perfection, the spice on the fried chicken was top notch! The bulgogi fries?! Are you kidding me, I’ll dream about them until I’m back up here in April for work again.
Atmosphere and staff were fantastic!
