P.S. the customer service was great
Wondertul customer service.
On top of that, the food was delicious. The noodles were flavorful and perfectly cooked, and the soup dumplings were flavorful. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great food and a team that truly cares about their customers.
I would make it disappear from my memory banks. The only good thing there was the bao chicken. Evening else seems microwaved, not fresh!
Soup dumplings were awful including the small roach that came out of the steaming basket. I wanted to die, the only reason I ate, was because my husband paid 70-something dollars for the food. They gave me a new order of dumplings, which were microwaved as well and tasted like blah! Will never step foot into this place. Beware if you do. I appreciate the owner’s response but we still paid and experienced something awful.
We spotted Bao Dumplings while driving and decided to give it a try. We were surprised to see soup dumplings, and I was pleasantly surprised to see mapo tofu (a spicy tofu dish) as well. Note that my wife and I really enjoy Asian cuisine which affects our reviews of Asian restaurants.
For science, we ordered:
– Soup dumplings
– Fried pork & leek dumplings
– Mapo tofu (includes rice)
– Dark roasted oolong bubble tea with tapioca and 30% sugar
Soup dumplings: For a local shop, it’s nice that they offer soup dumplings. But I think the presentation makes them a problem because as you can see from my photos, they serve the soup dumplings overlapping and smashed together in a small rectangular plastic container. This makes it so that even careful manipulation didn’t let us keep the soup in the soup dumpling, despite the dumplings’ skin being a bit on the thicker side. Otherwise, it’s nice having this as an option but if I could make a suggestion to the restaurant it would be to find a circular or different presentation method so that more people can enjoy the soup dumpling with the soup inside.
Mapo tofu: (Reader, remember that I have a subjective taste for what I like in mapo tofu)You can taste something of a savory bean sauce which I like. There is a light sensation of heat, less than tabasco, I’d say. I would not come back specifically for this.
Fried dumplings: Of the items ordered, we enjoyed these best. These are closer to bite-sized dumplings rather than the longer form factor of Japanese gyoza. They’re served with soy sauce and a mustard sauce of sorts. I didn’t realize till later that they also offer a paid chili oil which maybe could’ve helped, but we didn’t notice it until we almost finished eating.
Bubble tea: watered down and likely not steeped long enough to present the tea flavor. Tapioca was chewy.
The staff were friendly and helpful. Restaurant was clean and decorated (and true to their description of being a casual eatery rather than fancier dine in). Parking can be tricky but free in a small shared strip mall lot off main road.
Hoping business goes well!
–Wok Fried Noodles – bouncy and satisfying!
–Bao Sampler Platter – Really good, especially with chili oil! This came with different fillings: Pork with Scallion, Chicken with Corn, and Beef with Onion and you can have them steamed or fried. I super recommend getting their add-on of Spicy Minced Pork Chili Oil which really elevates this dish.
–Jasmine Boba Tea (customized for my request of zero ice, zero sugar) – pretty good, but the boba was kinda hard.
–Crab and Pork Soup Dumplings – Pretty good. These are very likely much better eaten in the restaurant. In general, the filling was slightly too dense and the wrapper was a little too thick compared to the same dish I’ve had elsewhere.
–Bao Chicken – A family fave. This came with 3 pieces of broccoli and was heavy on the chicken which had a light coating and yummy sauce. The portion lasted my kids several meals.
With food this good, this spot can take a bao. 😉
