I am from Boston and happened to try this place last year during a trip. My wife and I were blown away by the bao and the flavors. My wife isn't a fan of Buffalo chicken but their Buffalo chicken is her fav. We were driving past Philly last week and took a detour just to get some more of their bao. Yum!!! Will be back for more

Very clean place. Nice staff. Comfortable. Good pricing. Buns themselves truly are like a cloud and the variety is great. Will go again next time in town.

Fell victim to the IG and Facebook ads but glad I did. Buns were hot and fluffy. Fillings were flavorful and the buns absorbed the juices well. Definitely great for a quick meal or snack on the go

Bao Nine had great food! I was not originally going to eat her, but I noticed it while walking through the neighborhood. The service was great, the store was clean, and food was very tasty. My favorites buns of Threesome combo were the Hot Mutha Clucka and the Bang Bang. Overall, great experience and will definitely return!

I have gone to Bao Nine several times since moving back to Philly in January. And it never disappoints. I have introduced it to many of my friends and colleagues and they are hooked. It really is a hidden gem in Center City. I have only ordered the Crispy Chicken bowl, however, so I can't personally speak to the Bao buns. But... everyone I know who has ordered them is obsessed. Bao Nine is a lovely Friday treat and I look forward to it every time I order.

Pretty small place in downtown Philadelphia but it has its charm once you walk in. You are greeted with this table counter in the middle that really gets in the way of looking at the menu on the board, but nothing too inconvenient. The options are various with cute names and you have to take some time to really peruse through the names to figure out what you want. I ended up getting 5 Baos for the road and I ate them on my way home. Some of the choices are good and I think two of the choices I selected had pickles in them ... read more

Enjoyed the hot motha clucka! I tried the pork and pork belly...the only issue was the pickles made the bao very soggy. It tasted good but fell apart.

This place has the best Bao Buns in Philly! I have never visited their physical location but I have ordered them on Uber Eats a handful of times. I keep forgetting to take photos but their Bao buns travel really well. I have tried everything on the menu at this point and my favorite are the Prime Burger bao and the spicy buffalo chicken bao. The crispy Brussel sprouts appetizer also gets a shout out. I ordered it one night when I was extra hungry and was not disappointed. No they are my usual. In my opinion, this place doe... read more
