Delicious baos and pleasant customer service. We had steamed chicken and steamed red bean baos, and an order of baked Portuguese egg tarts. The server also kept refilling our water glasses, so we stayed well hydrated!

Super amazing and fast service! Loved the fact that they had vegetarian options! I hadn’t tried Bao earlier because of limited vegetarian options availability but I’m so glad I could try and understand the hype! Super yummy and I would visit again!

I really liked their veg soup dumplings & their ambience however the staff could be a little more friendly and make it a perfect experience for people that visit.

Very good! Food came out fresh, they make their own dumplings, which you can watch them doing. Pro tip: if you want the souffle for dessert, it takes 30 minutes to make, so order it when you sit down.

5/5!! All the dim sum foods we got were bomb! We got the steamed vegetarian dumplings, the vegetarian xiao long Bao, the vegetarian baos, the vegetarian pot stickers, and the mango custard swan pastries! The ambience and the hands off waiting was a delight and gave room to have a nice, conversational lunch! Cheers to the Bao team for a great experience!
