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

I ordered Bao Nine for delivery. The amount of food for the cost is a great deal! The sides were really good - I had the taro chips, shishito peppers, and cucumber salad. All 3 were the star of the meal. Unfortunately, the brussels sprouts were fried until black and had an acrid taste. They were really oily. The baos were disappointing. I found the ratios were off in all four I tried. The worst was the shrimp one, it had barely any shrimp and tons of slaw. Even with all that slaw, it was flavorless.

Bao buns are nice, but the meats are very dry. It's kinda like a McDonald's of Bap.

Looks delicious, but looks are definitely deceiving when it comes to this food. I got three very distinctly different buns, yet they all tasted exactly the same.

Very disappointing and did not wow my partner and I when we dined in. We felt like we could've made this at home. The Asian fusion was not a good. Each piece of the bowl I had were separate pieces that did not have cohesiveness in flavor when mixed. It's not worth the money we paid and really isn't memorable

They have interesting combinations of flavors but it is drastically overpriced for what it is. 

Business response:

Hi Phoebe, thank you for your review. The feedback is very valuable to us and we will keep prices in mind as we continue to improve the restaurant in the future. Unfortunately our pricing recently had to increase due to rapidly rising ingredient costs and we plan to readjust accordingly as things hopefully stabilize in the future.

This was my first time at Boa nine and I was not disappointed. The staff was super friendly, and the food was incredible. I ended up ordering more buns after I finished the first round of buns. They have amazing sides like brussel sprouts And shishito peppers. I highly recommend grabbing a bite to eat at Boa nine. I know I will definitely be back!
