One Star – Never Again
I don’t even know where to start with Bambao. The food was awful. Nothing was fresh — everything tasted like it had been sitting out for hours, if not days. The bao buns were soggy and falling apart, and the fillings were bland, greasy, and downright questionable. The “chicken” tasted rubbery and dry at the same time, which is honestly a talent in itself.
The presentation was sloppy, the flavors were nonexistent, and the whole meal left me feeling like I wasted both my money and my appetite. To make it worse, the portions were tiny, yet somehow still managed to feel heavy and gross. I left hungry but also disgusted.
Save yourself the time and money — there are plenty of other places that actually care about quality. Bambao is not it.

Boba is amazing, love their boozy boba menu! The food is honestly a bit overpriced for the quality and size, but decent. It’s 30 minutes out from my house and I still make the trip all the time just for the boba

Small but cute place! We drive past here all the time and finally decided to try it because we wanted bubble tea. A plus was that they had boozy bubble tea if you want something with a twist. They have a cute upstairs dining area! Bathrooms on both levels. The employees were very kind. I tried the mango green tea with tequila and it was delicious. Not too strong but perfect. The lime popping boba added nice extra favor to it. Will be back to try more boozy bubble tea and food on the menu.

I struggle between 2 – 3 stars for this. Lunch today was challenging. Our first outing here on their 2nd day open so I’ll say they have room to improve. Taro boba tea was not bad but too much ice left it difficult to get the boba out and made my drink watered down in 10min. The ordering went quick and the food was ready fairly quickly. We sat upstairs at a comfortable round table with homey cushions and atmosphere. Our food was given in togo containers w/ lids and bags despite asking to eat in. I sampled a lot today:
The pork & shrimp dumplings were amazing. This was the best thing on the menu by far.
The popcorn chicken was a large portion with hearty dark meat but the breading was soggy. Maybe it shouldn’t have been covered? Dipping sauce was spicy and excellent.
The beef bulgogi was on the chewy side. The one piece I had wasn’t bad, but my friend got tired of chewing thru the meal by the end.
The teriyaki pork rib on bun was greasy and heavy with braised flavor. The portion size was good. The bun was a horrible mess and I couldn’t finish it. It was rubbery like they microwaved the thing. It’s offensive to call this wrap a bun because it was like a cheap pita wrapped around the meat. The buns need a total re-write. This one went to the trash.
The veggie fried rice was an abomination. They actually put imitation cream meat in a vegetarian dish and don’t call it out on the menu. The dish tasted heavily of sesame oil so much so, that it became tiresome to eat. This one went to the trash.
The Sambal honey fried chicken was ok. It is reminiscent of another local area shop’s signature dish so comparisons come to mind when eating it and it fell short.
The lemongrass chicken was reportedly the best dish, though was not breathtaking. It was just better than the rest.
Overall this was a lot of disappointed people out for lunch. The price was high to spend for lunch, especially when it didn’t satisfy. I’ll admit we walked in with high expectations after watching the IG photos for weeks, but this place needs some more work to be worthy of stopping by. About $10 for lunch is a common standard and I blew past that to $24 w/o tip. It’s unsustainable at that price point for what amounts to a simple lunch

One chicken boa to go please! I enjoyed my visit to this new spot near my job. As I walked in I was greeted with a smile and ask if I needed any help since this was my first time. I took a menu and looked for something tasty and I found it. I ordered sambal honey fried chicken and a side of crab rangoon to go. Food arrived in about 5-8 minutes and hot and ready to eat. Music was low and nice for a quiet 2pm day. I miss the lunch crowd, happy to say. The decor was beautiful and well put together. I would suggest to stop by and try it out. I would say it does add up in price. I spent $17, more then normal for my lunch budget. But it was still good and had a nice fully meal. Check it out if your in the inner harbor .

Went for lunch today (Friday). Only one person waiting for their takeaway so no wait to place order. We ordered popcorn chicken, lemongrass grilled chicken on a bao, and sambal honey fried chicken bowl. The order was cooked fresh and was ready in roughly 5-10 minutes. Popcorn chicken was great, recommend slightly less seasoning then these are a home run. The lemongrass grilled chicken bao was cooked perfectly and great taste. Only issue is the bao was soggy in places. My wife enjoyed her Sambal Chicken bowl. The pickled cabbage is awesome! Seating is upstairs via a twisted staircase (leave your stroller in the car) and there is seating for probably 20.

Stopped by for a late lunch. I didn’t know what the baos would look like so initially thought the price for 1 was on the high side. I bought 2 types as I wanted some variety + thai iced tea. Sat upstairs to dine in and had the area to myself. Food was brought to me and I realized these were much bigger than expected. Kinda hard to eat so I ended up using a knife and fork. Flavors were good and the veggies added some freshness, but beef was a lil tough. I liked the fried chicken more. If coming for lunch one is plenty (unless super hungry).

Recently stopped in to grab dinner as we drove in from Philly. Ordered the mongolian beef combo meal and full entree sweet and sour chicken. The food was amazing, however I had to give the food a 4 star rating due to my order not having the fried rice that I paid to have substituted for the white rice and no sweet and sour sauce provided so it was just fried chicken. I would say that I’m part to blame for not checking the order before leaving but didn’t feel the need as my order was repeated to me correctly in which I ordered it.

Their Canton Sunrise and Fuji & Rum boozy bubble teas are a must try. Serene and interesting design with additional seating upstairs. ❤ If you like avoiding crowds – or people in general come around 2-2:30pm on weekdays.

I ordered via ubereats and wanted to try a new Chinese spot. Food is VERY bland won’t be ordering from here again. Only positive thing that had flavor was the onions and that despite its blandness it did fill me up.
Idk how it got #1 most liked on ubereats. Again VERY bland
