This was my first ever bao experience, and I'll definitely do it again! If you're new to bao, maybe the best analogy is that this is the Korean version of a taco. But the serving piece is a really fluffy, rice bread, and the ingredients are fresher, not greasy, and more interesting. Bao Nine was really clean, friendly, and spacious. The menu boards were very easy to understand. The prices were very reasonable. The food was excellent.

Overall- fun menu with okay food at a decent price We ordered delivery. The baos all looked super fun on the menu, but the flavors were really sweet and more Americanized than I was expecting. The cucumber salad was only okay too. Everything was very sweet. It did travel well though.

Summary: ordered a "threesome" of baos through uber eats. The baos were good - an Americanized fusion of different flavor profiles all tucked into a bao.

It kind of felt like the Bao-equivalent of a taco place that tries a bunch of flavor options, but it doesn't always quite hit its mark. The baos themselves weren't quite as fluffy/soft... read more

Went here on a whim and very hungry after a long urban hike. If I had known that a bao was a fat roll. I would have kept moving. However, it was not bad. My spouse ordered a chicken, pork, and beef versions. I ordered the charred Brussels sprouts. They were a bit over seasoned, but good. I am giving the place a 5 because it was clean and in good repair. Clearly it is a newer facility. I hope they will keep it maintained. The background music was unobtrusive. Overall, good afternoon pre - diner light meal when share... read more

I loooove bao buns and I was in the area. The time I went was around 6:30PM on a Monday -1/28/24. I ordered ahead so my food was ready by the time I arrived. There was only one person I saw working but he was nice when he greeted me. There wasn't anyone sitting inside but for the most part it was a pretty clean place. I had ordered 2 of the sticky chick, 1 Bao Boa, and 1 Big Finish. I was a huge fan of the sticky chicky and the boa was okay to my liking. And the big finish was delicious as well. Would definitely go back when... read more

Service was fast and friendly. Ambiance is new age chill. The food was delicious with many options of boas with different protein selections from chicken, beef, pork, tofu, and more. Not in the mood for boas? Build yourself a bowl instead.
