Great fast buns. Buffalo and Bang Bang shrimp are good. Gringo chicken is a bit dry. Great lunch spot-- 3 buns for same price as a sweetgreen.
I got 2 threesomes and tried 6 baos. Angus beef, short rib, shrimp, teriyaki chicken, buffalo chicken, fried chicken. All were decent. Angus beef, like a cheeseburger was the favorite. It's a little pricey for what you get. You can't really get full on 3 baos. They should give you a better deal for getting 3. You only save 50 cent. Kinda lame. I didn't try any sides. Too expensive.
Was looking for some quick food when in Philly recently and stumbled across this place. One of the more unique foods I've had in awhile. Their bao buns are all made perfectly. Super soft and flavorful. I had the hot motha clucka, which was a buffalo chicken style one, and the prime time, which was a cheeseburger style. Both were incredible and loaded with flavor. They are slider style so not super filling, which is perfect because you will want to try more than one.
Fantastic. Lucky enough to make a larger order and feed a lot of people at one time. We tried all ten offerings that day and there was nothing left over. They made them quickly, packaged them for service and made our taste buds happy. I can't wait to try them again, as they had a few vegan options - two more than I expected, and I had to kind of fight to get them among my hungry crew. Nice work. You guys rocked.
I'm not a big fan of the Wawa style ordering screen at a restaurant. It made for a weird vibe in my opinion - like "we just want to do online orders and not interact with customers." Anyway, the baos are small - you'll need three, so get the combo. They were fine compared to others I've had over the years. Not the best actual bao buns, but the fillings were decent and creative. I would highly recommend the mango black tea - that stuff was delicious.
Great food, not too expensive .Great staff friendly and efficient. Clean place with a nice atmosphere. Staff were very helpful and did their best to offer a great experience.
This is one of my fave comfort meals in the city when I'm having a bad day. The service is usually quick and the bao buns are always so good and filling.
I've been ordering delivery from Bao Nine for almost 2 years now. It's one of my go-to's. Threesome is my favorite. B9 can you add the Gobbler to menu year round??! It's my faaaaavorite! Bababooey!
The bao buns are ok, they are not the best I've had. The 3 stars is mainly because of the service. There is never anyone to talk to at the counter to check on your order or ask any questions which makes the experience a bit frustrating. I've been here about 3-4 times and it is always the same case...
