This place is alright for Taiwanese style buns. I got the threesome and a grilled chicken noodle bowl The Threesome: The Bao boa: the short rib was tender and soft, the sauce was flavorful and the onions went well with it The lil bao wow: the pork belly was a little bit dry for me but with the sauce and everything else not too bad. The lil chicky: Too dry for me. This was the special so Im not sure how long itll be around, the flavor was good on the outside but the inside is a bit dry. It can be hard to get big pieces of ch... read more
Really enjoyed them all.. Prime time and Crispy chick were my faves. The meats and sauces are very good.
I ordered a to-go combo and I couldn't be any happier with my meal. Bao Nine absolutely delivered in terms of presentation, taste and quality. I will definitely recommend Bao Nine to friends and I will definitely be back!
Yummy Baos! If you know me, you know I love good Bao. They have a combo that encourages you to get three bao altogether. I got two shrimp and one of the special chicken bao. Shrimp was definitely the winner! Would recommend this place if Bao is on your mind.
Best Brussels sprouts!!!! Even my daughter loves them. Service is excellent too. Highly recommend.
I need to talk about their cute takeout containers that cradle their little baos so nicely. They're small little cardboard trays with cute clouds on them, and they're nestled perfectly in boxes that are just as cute and sized perfectly for the number on baos in them. The food itself is very good! The buns are really light and squishy. There might be a little too much sauce and not enough protein, but they don't skimp on the proteins in the bowls. You should check this place out if you haven't already!
Ordered the top most elite-mentioned buns: The Bao Boa and the Crispy Chick. I found them fine, not amazing. The bun is very soft and chewy (good) and an enjoyable expression of the Bao. The buns feel short on their protein execution. The short rib on the Boa was overcooked: Dry and stringy. The chicken on the Crispy Chick was also too dry, tough, and lacked the dense battered crunch I'm looking for. The condiments did well to somewhat mask these execution flaws. The protein execution missed the mark, and that dragged d... read more
Really great buns. Was deciding between 2 and 3 and if you're hungry go with 3 it's not too much food.
Bao Nine delivers warm, fresh, delicious bao buns! The bao buns itself came out warm and perfectly fluffy. The fillings are flavorful! The meat within the buns have been juicy and never over cooked. Each bun has unique flavor combinations! I ordered the Hot Motha Clucka, The Crispy Chick, The Bao Boa, Lil Bao Wow, The Bang Bang, & The Gingo. Everyone of those were delicious. If you're ever strolling through Rittenhouse and need a snack, go to Bao Nine!
