the B A O

Tonight was our first time at BAO & 10/10 recommend - the food was AMAZING, the service was great (attentive and so friendly), and the drinks were delicious and unique (like nothing you could make at home). Everything was well worth the price! The ambiance and music is also very fun. If you are looking for a good date night or place to take the family, this is the spot!

We had some food, pork belly, some bao, fries and cocktails.

All are well balanced. Very impressed. Whoever cooking there, they know what they are doing. Staffs are very friendly. It is not only modern but keep authentic tastes, too. Highly recommended.

My fiance and I came in for a late lunch the other day and had a great experience. Our server was very friendly and attentive and the food was great. My favorite thing we got was the yuzu chicken. It was absolutely delicious. We both got the pick 2 combo. If you get an appetizer I'd recommend the pick 2 combo, if not I'd recommend getting the pick 3 combo if you are getting baos.

I understand that the food has been eaten but it was because I was so lost in how good the food was. To the left are the spring rolls. Very affordable but it took the prize for tasting extremely delicious. The Combo BOA 2 was to the right and the food was tasty. I truly recommend this place as a “must try”. The service was exceptional and they were able to make accommodations for our table (went from 4 to 6 people).

This place was so good. The food was very flavorful and the atmosphere was so nice and lowkey. We were there on a Saturday afternoon and we’re so surprised that the place wasn’t packed! Would highly recommend giving this place a try. The server we had was so kinda and friendly. He also helped us all decide what to get!

Cool atmosphere, friendly staff (a very knowledgeable bar tender) and delicious cocktails!!!

Their unique cocktails range from $12-$15 and are worth every penny! We also ordered the fried chicken bao and it was top notch.

I highly recommend the “not your grandma’s martini!” 👍🏼👍🏼

I had the spicy lobster and the pork belly, My boyfriend had the crab, pork belly, and the chicken BOA All were very good, I wish the pork belly would have had more meat than the fat, you pretty much bite into a huge chunk of gelatinous fat with very little meat. I cut the big pieces of the fat off leaving some because it is pork belly but overall it was still very good. We also did the combinations I wish they would offer like a small kimchi or a small ginger type salad rather than french fries. So we took the fries home to a relative. But we'll definitely Be back to try some of their other menu items.

The B A O is a lovely restaurant with excellent service. They are reservation only, so be sure to book ahead. We got the soft shell crab, Mala hot chicken and spicy lobster baos. They were all pretty flavorful and just the right amount for dinner.

My Friday night go to. I actually always get carry out and have yet to dine in. One thing that really sets The BAO apart is the attention to detail they put into their dishes. The service is also top-notch. The staff is friendly and attentive, and they always make sure I have everything I need. Definitely recommend!

This place sparked my interest because I was looking for pretty cocktails and they had the pictures to match. Well! They don’t have a bartender until 5pm so don’t go there anytime before that if you like cocktails with your meal. The ambiance was nice and they have pretty good music playing which is always a plus.

The food was great! I got the survivor bao that allows you 3 different bao with fries. Everything came out hot and fresh.
Let’s start with apps tho. The veggie spring rolls were nice and crispy and filling was typical veggie but good. The yuzu popcorn chicken was definitely the star for me! Once you popped it was soooo hard to stop. My friend and I both got the survivor bao. I got teriyaki bacon…the bacon was good but the pork floss kind made the whole thing dry and hard to chew…then there was mala hot chicken…definitely very spicy, crunch on chicken was phenomenal and it was nice and juicy…last was the spicy lobster…once again nice and spicy but this wasn’t my favorite just think a sushi roll in a bao bun. What was a bit disappointing for me is that they don’t have your typical bao, with the buns your filling is sliding out of the bun and hard to keep together especially for the chicken sandwiches. My friend had spicy lobster…which neither of us enjoyed…fried chicken…which was similar to the hot chicken…and the crispy shrimp…that was her favorite…its one shrimp but big and flavorful.

I would go back for dinner to try their cocktails and more yuzu chicken
