This place has 9 bao selections available from seafood, beef, pork, duck, chicken and vegetarian. The bun size is small and fits in your palm. Would get 3 or 4 to feel satisfied. I tried the short rib (Bao Bao), the angus beef (The Prime Time) and pork belly (Lil Bao Wow) and they are all pretty good but the short rib was a little dry. The packaging was cute and very practical keeping the baos intact for the walk home. My second visit I ordered a bowl with mix of salad and noodle as the base with steak. Everything was fine e... read more
4.5/5 The service was really good for a fast casual place. I loved the menu options - there was def a wide variety of flavors. Lot of unique flavors. You'll see a flavor that'll excite you. It's like a fusion of Bao Buns with tacos. The ambience was also nice for a place of this style. Everything was very clean and my order came out fast. I tried 4 baos: 1. The gringo 2. The Bao Boa 3. Lil Bao Wow 4. The special terrayaki one - by far the best flavor out of the ones I tried. Would order again. All in all, good qua... read more
Delicious quick bite near Rittenhouse. Brussel sprouts were on point. I want to go back and try some different bao buns.
Super crunchy chicken bao, good taro chips with 2 sauces (I'd recommend a spicy Mayo over both sauces they give you). The short rib with wiz was also good. Id definitely come again
Tasty fried chicken and short rib buns. Taro chips are fine, though the dips are unimpressive.
Always a good meal. I have tried all of the bao buns and they never disappoint! Great for lunch!
First of all the packaging for these little buns from heaven is adorable. The buns themselves are like little pillows that provide the perfect vessel, while the sandwich has a nice balance of sweet and spicy, crunchy and soft. I opted for one bao and the crispy chicken bowl with lettuce. The bao was amazing. The bowl and its accompanied sauces added a little bite to the dish. The veggies were nice and crunchy. They even provided a little wet nap. Definitely go check it out!
I received a free combo for my birthday. I also received a bun and purchased the big finished. My bun was amazing! I had the sticky chicken. The flavor was amazing! I had the short rib combo with noodles. I loved it. The big finish was for dessert. They were great too. I wish I had taken a pic before I devoured everything!
I keep coming back because the buns are so good! Creative fusion combinations, well flavored, and surprisingly pretty filling. The store is super cute too! Highly recommend.
