Every trip to Philly isn't complete without stopping here for baos. The perfect snack for mid-day hunger or a pre-game bite before a night out. This spot was a college favorite of mine, and it still brings back nostalgia with every visit. The Sticky Chick is hands down my top recommendation: flavorful, satisfying, and consistently delicious. Quick service and fresh baos make this a go-to every time I'm in the city.
Really tasty, made to order food. Ordered a late lunch for pick up and was very pleased with both the selection and the food.
Incredible!!!!!!!! Soooooo amazing! The sticky chicky bao is the best!!!!!! I also really enjoyed the gringo! The spicy cucumbers are yummy and the fried bao with icing were good too! My fiance got the crispy chicky, the bao boa, and the garbaozo. He really liked the bao boa! We love that you can get three bao in a combo and we love all the clever names! We got delivery so I didn't get to see the ambiance or service (which I am sure was great). I forgot to take pics (I was very hungry lol). Highly recommend!!!!!
Bao Nine is a great, centrally-located lunch spot with a fun blue exterior and bright interior. Place your order at the kiosk up front and find a seat (it opens up more toward the back). Our table's food came out quickly and piping hot. We were impressed with the staffer who brought it out from the kitchen, who was both very nice and spot on when matching order-to-diner. I tried the chicken bao on special that day and the Crispy Chicken Bowl--choose your base (rice, noodles, or greens--I went with the latter, 'cause I knew... read more
Love this spot near Rittenhouse Square! They have a wide array of different types of creative baos, and some bowls and side dishes. My favorite is the sticky chicky, which seriously brings the A game in terms of taste and texture. Shishito peppers were also bomb. Their drink selection is a little limited, with mostly canned options. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table - every time I've gone it hasn't been crowded so service was fast. In terms of price, 3 baos will run you $15, which seems reasonable, th... read more
Very delicious food! I got the Lil Bao Wow, The Bao Bao and The Sticky Icky and all were amazing. The Lil Bao Wow was a little sweeter than I was expecting and the pickles stole the show. The Bao Bao short rib was juicy and the truffle wasn't overpowering. The Sticky Icky was my favorite flavor profile. The chicken pieces were a little thick but I'd rather have that than not enough chicken. Highly recommend all three! Brussels were fantastic too. Nice and crispy and well seasoned. Big enough for two people to share. 5 sta... read more
Grubbin' bites and a really nice price. Distinctive flavors make this a great place for foodies on a budget!
I was Visiting my sisters from California. They kept raving about a boa bun place they knew I would love. Turns out they were right! I live in the Bay Area so we have bao buns everywhere. I have to say These were some of the best bao buns I had! The bun was super soft and prepared well. If I could just order that I would. I ordered the sticky chicky and the bang bang bun. If I had to pick I would just get the chicken one and be fine with that as I feel there was more slaw than Shrimp. Nonetheless chicken was super good and... read more
