A trendy spot for some decent bao buns. The bao itself was fluffy and on point, but the flavors seem to miss the mark. I ordered three buns- they were all good but the flavors didn't quite blend to be something that stands out, which is something I expect from a mainstream fusion take on bao. The meat also could've been cooked a bit better. Overall though, I was satisfied, and I had the food delivered, so I'm giving the benefit of the doubt and keeping this at four stars.
Food,: 5/5 Service: N/A Atmosphere: 4/5 Value: 4/5 14/15 I really enjoyed this place, the bao buns are absolutely delicious! The place is serve yourself, they will bring food out to you when the number is called. The variety is pretty good really hard to decide which is my favorite as they all are really tasty. I got 5 of the 9 and not one disappointed. If i could change anything i would make the buns a little larger, but otherwise a great place. Will be back!
Fresh food and a good selection of dishes. The restaurant was very clean and they had great service
This place was a great find and I had hot, fresh takeout even 15 mins. before they closed (thank you)! I had the short rib bao which was a touch heavy on the truffle sauce and light on the other toppings (I also ordered in a rush and forgot that I don't love truffle, oops). The short rib itself was so good! At first, I was disappointed by the size, but the bao are more filling than they appear -- especially when paired with sides. The cucumber salad was filling and refreshing at the same time! I enjoyed the crunchy sesame ... read more
The Bao was excellent! All of the ingredients fresh and I must say the staff was extremely friendly. Although I ordered take out, I did notice the restaurant was extremely clean and well kept. I'll certainly use them again when in Philly.
Super delish food. We tried a bit of everything. They were great checking for allergies. The Bao's are the best!!
After my disappointment with Baology, we headed over to Bao Nine to try their version on baos. Seems like it's quite a trend! Of course, these aren't traditional baos, they're more inspired, fusion baos! Make sure to download the app/make an account for a free bao on your first pickup/delivery order. The Bao Boa: braised short rib, house truffle wiz, cherry pepper relish -The house truffle sauce was super good, but the short rib was a tad dry (but more tender than the pork belly for sure) We got our order takeout so even ... read more
Doesn't look much when you past it but the home made buns are delicious! I love the hot motha clucka.
Excellent service and the food was amazing too. You can customize a bowl or even pick one of their signature items! I highly recommend trying their dessert as well!! This is one place you have to try 10/10
