Trendy eatery providing Asian comfort eats such as pork ramen, Taiwanese buns & kimchi fried rice.

The entire experience is an absolute treat. The moment you walk in you’re greeted by the owner who is truly one of a kind. She breaks down the menu for you, goes over some of the best items, talks about their specials for the day, and answers any questions you have. Great way to start your visit here. Once you’re seated and finished ordering, food comes out relatively quickly. Hot, fresh, and flavorful. They have a variety of items on the menu but I highly recommend the Bao Trio because it’s the best of all worlds. All bao they have is unique in their own way. Szechuan dumplings for an appetizer were the star of the show for me. As much as I love the Bao, the dumplings were light, juicy, and very tasty. I’ve been here before and everything was just how I remember. Excellent food and excellent service. Definitely recommend!

Excellent food that has explosive flavor. Everything we had was excellent. We tried the chicken wings, vegetable dumplings, chicken satay, and fried chicken Bao buns. Everything was served hot with great flavor. Staff was knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. We even met the owner as she introduced herself to a lot of the patrons. Plenty of parking for a busy spot. Happy hour from 4-6 is a great time to try a lot of delicious dishes.

Amazing and delicious experience! The owner Natalie greeted us at the door with an awesome overview of the menu and specials her mom was offering. Loved this- so welcoming and shows how much love goes into the food here. Soliel was a lovely host with all kinds of great suggestions offered with enthusiasm, knowledge, and love! She was incredible. Excellent sake sangria! Special shrimp Rangoons with warm dipping sauce were out of this world! Dan Dan noodles, baos (chicken was our fave!) and refreshing cucumber salad all knocked our socks off. The place is adorable, fun, and vibrant and you can really feel the heart and soul of owners, staff and customers.

We LOVE this place! Anytime we visit Amelia Island we come here at least twice during our trip. Bao buns are non-negotiable; you have to try them! The food has so much flavour, amazing texture, and each ingredient compliments the next. The owner is wonderful to interact with during the visit. Staff are quick, kind, and the food comes out fast. There is indoor seating as well as outdoor. This place is a VIBE!

Wicked Bao was a bit of a roller coaster. You walk in excited, try one of their plates, and it’s peak but then you order another to explore more of their menu, and things start going downhill. I had heard great things about the place and was genuinely looking forward to it, but overall, my experience was just average.
The Baos themselves are fantastic, flavorful, soft, and served quickly. I had the Trio Baos, which came with three different flavors, all of which were really good. That said, they’re on the smaller side, and I was still hungry afterward. The plate was around 22 dollars with ice tea
I decided to try the special they had that day, the Seared Tuna, and that’s where the disappointment came in. For the price, it felt expensive and lacked presentation. The rice was plain and needed salt or seasoning, and the tuna itself was bland. The cucumber salad on the side was actually good, though it could have been even better with a touch of sesame seeds, cilantro, or radish for freshness. They serve a good quality Tuna but for $32.00 dollars, it felt like wasted potential.
I’d definitely come back for the Baos, they’re the star of the show but I’d skip the other dishes unless they bring them up to the same standard

We walked in and the genial owner greeted us and guided us over the menu, which was especially helpful since we had kids to order for. I appreciate when the owner of a restaurant (or manager) takes the time to talk to us. The atmosphere was great as we sat outside on the patio. The sweet and sour chicken (see photo) and the pomegranate mint sangria was really enjoyable. I’m not surprised this restaurant has great ratings! The restroom was also clean.

The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. From the moment we sat down, our meals arrived and were finished within 15 minutes—fast-food speed with gourmet-quality dishes. The owner stopped by our table to chat about the bao styles we chose and was incredibly friendly with a warm, bubbly personality. The only reason I gave the food four stars is that I’ve had authentic beef bulgogi before, and this version wasn’t quite the same—though the flavors were still delicious. We were also served organic green tea, which I loved (I’m a bit crunchy). I’d definitely recommend this place to a friend.

This place is everything. I wanted to try all items on the menu! I got the fried chicken bao and my husband got the trio. Both of our entrees were EXCEPTIONAL!! For starters, we shared the potstickers and the rice tots. These were so very good.
Next time we’re in Amelia Island, this will be the first place we come. Thank you for the great service and welcoming environment!

One of the best places on the island!
Outstanding Asian cusisine, always an interesting special or two. Crispy rice tots with tuna are a must. Fantastic hospitality, fast service, a must visit if you are in the area.

When I tell you this is a MUST go to spot, I mean it. From the moment you hit the door we were greeted by the owner. She was a joy, just a vibrant soul that it was clear she loved what she does. The food was absolutely phenomenal. And the service was great. Everything came out exceptionally quick. We had a group of about 20 that came in and were quickly accommodated. Can’t recommend enough.
