I'm not a huge fan of Bao Nine. I ordered a the bam bam shrimp bao. It's pricey, and I don't feel like the ingredients really complemented one another (i.e. the veggie toppings). I was upset to see that there wasn't a Peking duck bun because that is the authentic version. Not really sure if this is culture appreciation or appropriation because it really lacks the tie back to Taiwanese/Chinese culture.

Super simple menu - but everything is so flavorful! Great customer service tbe moment you walk in - the food was amazing. I can't wait to go back & try one of their signature bowls! The atmosphere is quiet, super clean, and the ambiance is perfect for a quick lunch/date. I can't wait to go back!

Bao Nine was right across from our hotel and one night we decided to grab some baos for a late night snack. It was the best decision ever, and I'm so sad I didn't try it earlier during our trip! Would've easily gone back for seconds. The store was really clean with lots of seating though we opted for take out. There are lots of bao options and we had a hard time deciding, but loved that they had different combo options. We ended up getting the threesome combo and picked: Lil Bao Wow (roast pork belly) - this was so flavorful... read more

The food here is AMAZING. I've been guilty of ordering delivery back to back this week to my office and I don't feel one bit bad about it. The tastes are soo unique and I just can't get enough of the crunchy cucumbers, casava chips and sticky chicken! Might just have to reorder today!

The fusion works. Soft and slightly sweet bao with a ton of yummy fillings. The store is absolutely spotless. Fast and friendly service. Good spot to grab a quick bite.
