Great place for boba, milk tea, fruit tea or slushes. Also best fried dumpling spot downtown. I used to go for the fried dumplings when I worked downtown. It looks like they have leaned heavily into the increased popularity of boba which is great. Friendly counter service.

Great service and very good food. Would highly recommend going. Just remember they're closed on the weekends.

Dumplings are the best in the tunnel and I love their spicy sauce they serve with it. The wait is not too long, the service is pretty quick. The egg roll is not the best. Also didn't care for the cheese wonton. I prefer mine to be slightly sweet and their's was not. But the dumplings are definitely my favorite.

I love the simplicity of Baoz- they have dumplings, a few side soups, banh mi, bubble tea, and spring rolls. But they do them ALL well in my opinion. Really I could just throw a dart at the board and like whatever they serve. I do wish there was a way to appease my "low waste" tendencies by using less plastic and styrofoam when eating here but that's a problem anywhere you get food in the tunnels since its all "takeout".My favorite is still the lemongrass tofu spring rolls but oftentimes they're out of them and I have to wait a few minutes for them to make them from scratch, but they're always super accommodating. The tempo of the place is fast since they're used to churning out customers but anytime I've come here with someone for the first time they are able to slow down the pace (albeit for only a minute or two).

Great place to get your fill of dumplings at a good price. On my recent visit, I had a vermicelli bowl with grilled pork. Very good, but I miss the dumplings. I will have to order them next time.One thing about the menu is that Baoz offers many different combo items, but mainly with bahn mi sandwiches and spring rolls. Dumplings are mostly all by themselves. I would love to see a bahn mi/dumpling combo.

Cool little dumpling place in Houston underground. Dumplings comes out really fast and they're really good. I wish I would have tried one of their bubble teas but I just got a smoothie from Smoothie King. Next time. This is definitely a spot to check out if you are in the Houston Tunnels.

REALLY like this spot. If you're craving some dumplings and want to venture into Houston's underground tunnels, this is the joint to go to. Fast, efficient, cheap and delicious. I had 12 dumplings and the summer rolls which were more than enough (each dumpling is bite-sized). If you're looking for a challenge, get 18 for just a dollar more. I had almost every kind of dumpling (both pan fried and steamed): pork, chicken and veg. The pork pan fried were by far the best. I for sure plan to go back!

I would consider this a decent dumpling spot, located in the tunnels, downtown Houston.They serve dumplings (steamed or pan fried), different types of soups, different types of vermicelli noodle dishes, and even banh mi sandwiches. I got the "special" which gives you a choice of 8, 12, or 14 dumplings and 2 side dishes. I went for the 8 piece dumpling (chicken) with an egg roll and egg drop soup. The dumplings were pretty good. I recommend the pan fried option. You get a choice of regular sauce or spicy sauce. I went with both and enjoyed both about the same. The egg roll was a little disappointing though. It was this super tiny, scrawny looking fried tube, filled with maybe...something? I couldn't tell. The egg drop soup was so-so as well. It was a little bland. If you work downtown, then it's not a bad choice for a quick and easy Asian meal. However, if you do not work downtown, then I wouldn't recommend making an extra trip for it. The dumplings were good, but very similar to those you can buy at Kroger or HEB (in the sushi section).Follow me on my way to Foodietown! http://britneygfoodie.yelp.com

Over the past year I have been here a couple of times and it doesn't hit as well as it did before 2020, used to be a little excited on coming here during a work lunch, not no more. The pan fried pork dumplings are more like pan lightly seared dumplings and texture of the dumpling seems a bit mushy, like the consistency of overcooked pasta. Corners have been cut on making these for sure.

Pretty good dumplings. If you are mapping with GPS it'll take you to a building that you need to enter then go DOWN to the tunnels to the underground. I liked the steamed chicken dumplings. They are open only until 1:30 so basically just weekday lunches. I will have toTry their boba some other time when I'm not on a no boba diet.
