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!

It was my 1st having these and they were delicious! The service was quick and the food was fresh. The store is very clean and the staff is welcoming and willing to help you figure out what you'll like.

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.

Bao Nine is awesome. They have a such a great variety of bao buns, all that I've tried have been great. They have plenty of fillings and after 2.5 I'm way more than full. They're all so delicious, my favorites are sticky chicky (teriyaki chicken), crispy chicky, and bang bang (shrimp). The bao boa (not pictured) is also really great. For vegetarians, there is only one bao option but there is the tofu bowl which my friend had and enjoyed. I haven't tried the bowls but it's on my list! They have something for everyone and it's... read more

Fresh, flavorful, plentiful, and affordable. Highly recommend. Hits the spot when you're looking for something pan Asian. The noodles with grilled chicken had pad thai vibes with crushed peanuts, shredded basil, lime, etc

A small spot that does quick service bao buns. While you wait you can see the buns being formed and cut before they make it back to the kitchen to be steamed. The buns themselves are fluffy and they are well balanced ingredients. Tasty and quick.

bao nine is very cool. we went on a long expedition to eat here. it was like a thirty minute walk buuuUUUUUT it was FREEZING COLD OUTSIDE! we are not quite the most native east coasters, so we are not accustomed to this weather. despite the cold, it was a decently nice walk. we talked about some fun things, cracked a few jokes, and skipped with joy!! when we finally got here, we all gave great sighs of relief. the heated and warm temperature inside was definitely welcoming. the ordering process was pretty fun! they have th... read more

I only got take-out/delivery from Bao Nine, but I was surely impressed. Each bao was place in its own individual paper tray, careful not to mix with the other bao, making for an easy at-home eating experience. I ordered the Sticky Chicky, Crispy Chick, and Bao Boa, all really fun American-fusion takes on a traditional bao. I'm thinking about ordering from them once a month, that's how much I liked it!
