Came in around 8 pm on a weekday with no wait at all.
Loved the soup dumplings the most. Holy spicy shrimp wontons are definitely spicy but manageable if you like spice. Definitely would recommend and can’t wait to come back!

Tasty dumplings and variety of Chinese inspired dishes right in Midtown.
The soup dumplings contain a luxurious liquor (no booze just flavor) and the pan fried buns delight with their own juices. Vege dishes for team meatless as well. Yay.
Getcha summa dis!

Was in the area and was finally able to try out Wanna Bao. Glad we stopped in to check out this wonderful place.
Service was great, helpful, and prompt. As we were first timers, asked questions and our server made great suggestions.
While the red oil dumpling was a miss for me while hot. Once I got home, the flavors really came to life after sitting and cooling off. Reabsorbing all those wonderful flavors.
The chicken dumplings were also delicious. It was just a great balance of flavor and quantity.
But the star was definitely the Dancing Beef. Delicious flavor and with the perfect heat, you can’t go wrong here.
Can’t wait to return and try more dishes.
We will definitely be back.

The food is awesome! The soup dumplings are so thin, tender and flavorful… right up there with One Dragon, but Wanna Bao has lots more seating. The green beans are delicious and the scallion pancakes are so crispy.

Overall, the experience was pleasant. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The food was flavorful and well-prepared, showing good attention to quality. Though there’s room for small improvements, everything came together nicely, making it an enjoyable visit.

The venue was actually pretty nice with a nice and orderly ambiance in business casual dress all around.
I really enjoyed the food , but my overall opinion is that the food was good but not worth the price.
Panfried pork shrimp dumpling: 10/10 very good , wish I had more. I think I would try pork next time
Crying tiger beef: 8/10: beef cut thinly but very saucy with the rice crackers underneath
Water spinach : 9/10 classic stir fry vegetables, pretty good and fresh
Mapo tofu : actually one of the best Mapo tofu with a hint of spice, nicely fresh tasting tofu, and a simplistic feel 10/10

I found this place through a TikTok video, and honestly, I loved the food. They serve Chinese cuisine — their specialty is dumplings, but they also have other dishes. We ordered two orders of chicken filling soup dumplings and one order of spicy crispy chicken popcorn. Honestly, everything was delicious, and the service was excellent. I give it a solid 10 out of 10.

Good food and a chill space!
My family and I went in a rainy day which proved to be the best time to try out Wanna Bao. It wasn’t too packed, or too loud and parking was easy despite what the other reviews said.
For the food:
Spicy popcorn chicken: 10/10. Beware it IS spicy.
Red oil dumplings: 7/10 the oil was on point!
Shanghai Chili Lettuce Wrap: 8/10 This dish was solid!
Shredded Chicken in Spicy Garlic Sauce: 6/10 flavor was there, not spicy and a safe choice.
Shrimp dumplings: 8/10 I enjoyed the outer crispy underneath consistency.
Nutella Dumpling dessert: 8/10 different and tasty.
Over all, Wanna Bao did not disappoint!

Lunch appointment here for my first visit and was not disappointed. From the outside I was not impressed but inside was clean and welcoming. I was with an experienced visitor so I let them choose from the menu. The food arrived quickly and was hot and flavorful. The waiter helped explain some of the dishes in detail and advised regarding spice levels. I will definitely be back!

I don’t know where to start. The waiters sitting and staring at their phone, the hostess who couldn’t be more bothered that we interrupted her scrolling, or the food that made me go home to drink detox tea? We were hoping for a hit, but underwhelming would be an understatement. The vibe was dull. The food quality was poor. We barely ate. We both took one bite of the dumplings and were very turned off. While the waiters were friendly enough, their boredom really set the tone. Please listen to the critical reviews sprinkled in here… take your money elsewhere for a quality experience. This eatery presents itself as worthy, but it’s not it.
