Crispy BrusselHot Motha CluckaLil Bao Wow Service was friendly and fast! Food was so delicious! Can't wait to come back to try the other buns.
BAO BAO BAO!!!!!!!!!! Hiiiiiii Yelpers, I know you're saying, "Food Junkie J, you've never reviewed a restaurant twice." I'm replying, "You're right," but with food like theirs...you'll have to go back again! Listen, I ordered the Crispy Chicken Bowl with the Bao Boa bun and I found myself dancing with everyone watching. So, if you want to know what dance moves you'll have when the food ELECTRIC SLIDE on your tongue, go to BAO NINE----they'll take you on a party ride! And they'll teach you, teach you, teach you...they'll ... read more
Business response:
Thanks so much! We like your style ;)
Overall mid establishment. Had a weird vibe inside, felt kind of like they were aiming for a trendy store, but landed more on dystopian, empty like. If your going to get bao buns, make sure you get three to feel full. Prices are good, but food itself is probably more of a 2.5/5 stars. The fillings were good, but the ones offered that were paired with the bao felt like they didn't go together. We got the two buns pictured plus the one with short rib. Sides and dessert were a bit better than the bao buns, but not by much. Prob... read more
Met up with a friend after work, she recommended this little spot! It is adorable on the inside-- if aesthetics are your thing. We ordered the threesome so three menu items. Brussels Sprouts were soft and flavorful with little rice puffs that pleasantly surprised me! The Crispy Chick was a bit too wet with the slaw but the chicken itself was pretty yum. Lil Bao Wow was the best of the three I had, good vinegary notes that contrasted the meat and bao bun. The Bao Boa was the least fav, too rich in my opinion and the flavors ... read more
I came here for a late lunch after a late start to my day! I got the crispy chick, the sticky chicky, and the bang bang buns. Each bun is $4.85 but you can get three as a combo for $14.50. I did wait a super long time for some reason but the server was nice about it and I had a large snack earlier that was holding me over.. I would definitely say it seemed like there were quite a number of others who also had to wait a while for their food. Everything was super good tho! I actually thought their buns were super fluffy, would... read more
Decent place to grab some Taiwanese styled buns. I like how you can also build your own noodle bowl as well. The buns were soft but I think depending on what meat you get it can be hit or miss. The meat can be a bit dry but otherwise flavorful!
Terrific new Taiwanese place in Center City! Although this place's specialty is buns I was feeling healthy so got a build your own bowl with salad and crispy chicken. It was fresh and super tasty, a great meal. The crispy chicken wasn't super crispy but was very flavorful and juicy. The greens were fresh and the sauce was not too salty. Overall definitely recommend, especially for carry out. They are very quick and the service is excellent. Would definitely come back here and try the buns.
The Bao was pretty good. Some of the meat was a bit dry as was the bun, but the flavor was delicious. Also, the sides are really cool and unique and truly are the best things there. I would definitely go back and it's worth a try if you're nearby.
the best bao I've had! the buns are just so fluffy and delicious. we got the bang bang shrimp and falafel. the bang bang shrimp is packed with flavor and the shrimp is deliciously crispy. it's nice that you can mix and match 3 bao or sides for the combo - 3 is more than enough for one person. the seating area is cute for a quick grab and go spot. food comes out pretty quickly and the service is great. wouldn't recommend the falafel as much as the others but I guess you would expect as much!
