Bao Nine

Bao Nine is a ten, and great addition to the lineup of quick lunch spots around Rittenhouse. I almost ate earlier, but made the fortunate decision to procrastinate. That left me with a healthy appetite when walking past Bao Nine. And the threesome left me so satisfied.

SO GOOOOOD!!!!! Both fried chicken baos and the burger one are the best. Going back for sure.

Cute little place very casual like chipotle almost. Nothing fancy which we love. The food comes out pretty fast. The baos were really good but definitely not like "OMG THE BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD!!!" I liked the fried chicken one the best. They were a little liquidy sometimes making the Bread turn into mushy paste in some spots. But the meats were very tender and high quality. Tasted good. Was an easy dinner and not too expensive either. 3 filled me. Don't let your eyes get bigger than your stomach! The manager was very ver... read more

Was not impressed by the one vegetarian bao option on the menu. Shishito peppers were good but wish they had a greater variety of vegetarian options.

The food is very good. But the guy that works at the front is very rude. He always has an attitude and rolls his eyes at me when me and my buddy place and order. We go about once a week and it's an unpleasant experience every time. It makes me guess if I ever want to go back.

Fresh fast food. Location is clean. Service is lacking. We weren't approached right away and the cashier couldn't answer my question about the beverages. I can't have dairy and I was trying to figure out if they had alternate milks for their iced milk tea options. Had to repeat my order a few times. The drinks are quite expensive for $5 for a pineapple mango lemonade (that wasn't great).

To be honest this was the worst bao buns id ever eaten. I know they weren't traditional or authentic but I don't believe I've ever tasted a piece of food that tasted like it was one of those aesthetic meals. The best thing I had was the soda and it was a little flat. The flavors were not good in the lil bao wow or the bao boa, the bun was falling apart, it had a weird taste too, the short rib didn't have any flavor. It was a chaotic meal, I only took 2 bites of each and was done.

We decided to try this place out because of the raving reviews and were actually underwhelmed. There was a strange smell when we stepped into the establishment (which should've been a red flag for us), but we still decided to stay and try out the buns. The combos prices don't make sense to me? If each bao bun is $4.95 ... how is getting 3 bao buns for $14.50 a combo meal? Food wise - I had the sticky chicky and wasn't wowed by it. I didn't hate it, but it's definitely not something I would get again. Truthfully, I don't ... read more

Had high hopes for this place but was shocked at how incorrect my pickup order was - only 1 of the 3 buns I ordered was accurate! The actual buns taste fine but can't really justify the $5 each cost. Disappointed to say the least
