We went to Bao Nine for a quick dinner. The restaurant was very minimalistic and had friendly workers. We got the hot motha clucka, the sticky chicky, the crispy chick, and the bang bang bao and they were all delicious. The only minor drawback is the pricing. At $4.95 per bao, they do seem a little expensive, especially when considering their small size.
I've always walked by this spot and always wanted to try it. Today I decided to finally take the plunge because I love a good bao and wanted to try something new. It was a decision I did not regret. It's a chill place with really nice bao buns. Service was helpful in picking them as I've never been to a bao place before. I ordered the combo bun The threesome for my choice of 3 buns or sides. I went for Baos aw I really wanted Baos. Review of the Baos Buffalo Hot Motha Clucka: my favorite. I could eat like 10 of these. So g... read more
Food is good but the portions are very small and feels overpriced for what you get. I think most people would need two orders (6 pieces total) to equal a standard meal and you are looking at $25+ at that rate.
the fillings were good and service was fast! however the bao buns were not as fluffy/airy as i'm used to them being. they were also very small for the price.
I come here when I have cravings for Bao buns and I'm never disappointed. My favorite is the hot motha clucka. The service is quick and always cordial. There's enough space to sit and eat but they also pack the buns in takeout boxes that make it easy to take to go! If you're looking for a quick bite, stop by here
Aside from the convenient location, there were so many great aspects about my order, namely the taste, price, and speed. I ordered carry out, as did pretty much everyone else in the restaurant. Of the five people I saw, everyone ate out, even though the interior was clean and had plenty of table seating. What appeared to be a skeleton crew at the time still worked very fast, getting my large order together in 20 minutes and keeping me updated on my status through their website. The main reason why I gave this place a 5... read more
Bao Nine is a hidden gem located in Center City. They serve delicious bite-size bao's and bowls if you're feeling a little more hungry. You can get a free bao or a side dish with your first purchase, which is such a good deal. I tried two of their chicken bao's and they were so flavorful and unique and delicious. Every time I'm in Philadelphia I have to come here!
This place was definitely very unique and interesting: the food and the aesthetic of the restaurant. Like the genre of food, it's all a fusion. Some of these baos are hit or miss, but they're worth a try. However, service is little bit slow and these baos are definitely not enough for a meal. It's very small and not very filling at all.
The baos were all very flavorful. My favorite ending up being a tied between the Bao Boa and the Sticky Chicky. The only downside are how pricy the baos are as 6 baos will run you almost $30.
