Very delicious food! I got the Lil Bao Wow, The Bao Bao and The Sticky Icky and all were amazing. The Lil Bao Wow was a little sweeter than I was expecting and the pickles stole the show. The Bao Bao short rib was juicy and the truffle wasn't overpowering. The Sticky Icky was my favorite flavor profile. The chicken pieces were a little thick but I'd rather have that than not enough chicken. Highly recommend all three! Brussels were fantastic too. Nice and crispy and well seasoned. Big enough for two people to share. 5 sta... read more
Grubbin' bites and a really nice price. Distinctive flavors make this a great place for foodies on a budget!
I was Visiting my sisters from California. They kept raving about a boa bun place they knew I would love. Turns out they were right! I live in the Bay Area so we have bao buns everywhere. I have to say These were some of the best bao buns I had! The bun was super soft and prepared well. If I could just order that I would. I ordered the sticky chicky and the bang bang bun. If I had to pick I would just get the chicken one and be fine with that as I feel there was more slaw than Shrimp. Nonetheless chicken was super good and... read more
Great food amazing service nice and clean restraunt will come back and eat here again
"Bao nine" is a small bao bun joint. We had the cluck chicken one with teriyaki. Pretty good. So are the pickles. I liked the taste of the buffalo chicken one too. My wish would be that they were bigger. I can eat one in 2 bites. A grown man needs 6 buns a to be full. Service is generally fast. Restaurant only had 1-2 people inside both times I went.
Fun combinations, but not always as delicious as you'd expect. We got a noodle bowl with the chicken and beef. The beef was overcooked but had potential, and the breaded chicken was pretty darn good. The noodles are the cold type, with pickled vegetables and quite solid. The bao buns were beautiful, the buns them self were perfect and the food combos were fairly inspired, just didn't taste amazing. I would normally not order the thanksgiving mash up, but my SO did and that was actually one of my favorites. The buffalo chicke... read more
It's an interesting concept but not all the buns blended together. We tried 6 buns so the majority of the menu, and none of them really stood out. The noodle for the bowl was cold noodles that with pickled vegetables. Fried chicken was good.
Got takeout from here while I was in town. Super convenient to The Motto in Rittenhouse! The cucumbers were a bit of a surprising start here-- they had a great mix of flavors and textures going on. As for the bao, I was a big fan of the Sticky Chicky, thought the Bang Bang was pretty bland (didn't finish it) and thought the Crispy Chick was good. I'd order from here again, but wouldn't get the shrimp one.
Deck the halls with baos of holly! 'Tis the season for trying new foods. I was super excited to try bao buns for the first time. It was great that Bao Nine had a few vegan/vegetarian options to choose from and a nice selection of sides as well. I got The Garbaonzo - filled with falafel, tahini and some pickled veggies. Taste was there, though the falafel was a little hard? Not sure if it sat too long or if it was supposed to be that consistency. Additionally, I got the plant based bao and that was amazing. It tasted lik... read more
