Bao Boys

High quality food trucks are lacking in Michigan. Bao Boys sets the bar pretty high. The staff is friendly and efficient. We had a food allergy and they were very accommodating and knew the menu which provided much needed reassurance. The Food? HOLYYYYY some of the best baos I've ever had. I'm used to having stuffed baos rather than an open taco shaped bun. The bread material (??idk what to call it) was so light and fluffy. It held up well for my dive home. We ordered the shrooms. Chicken. Bahn Mi and shorty. Hands down some of the best food I've ordered. It was light and savory. Vibes were so nice outside. Good sitting area. Can't wait to come back

Bao Boys is the real deal. Steamed bao bun sandwiches have been an obsession of mine for the past year, but they're a hard find. Bao Boys is the only place I could find in or around Detroit that specializes in them. The menu features Korean braised beef, spicy pork, chicken apple sausage, charred spam, tofu, and mushroom options. I ordered all aside from the tofu and mushroom baos. All 4 were so good, that I didn't have a favorite or least favorite. My only critique is that I wish there were more options on the menu. If you're in the Ann Arbor area or love baos like I do, you won't be sorry.

This place is so fun & it's definitely a hidden gem! It's located on Packard behind the York, so it can be easily missed. You need to go down the side, road and around back and you will see the food truck. There are a ton of different places to sit some shaded some in the sun so you can take your pick. The service was super quick under five minutes. The vibe is really fun and really good pricing too! See the menu pic I provided. The green sauce which I think is mostly cilantro, was absolutely delicious. I could put that on anything. The Bao buns were pillowy and soft. The meat plenty and spicy. Cabbage slaw crunchy and with a perfect pop of acidity. A new staple for me. To work a bit, some people were on laptops. I don't know if they were on Wi-Fi or had their own stuff, or to read a book or visit with a friend. I crowded places here. Airy and colorful with yummy smells. Def a must!

We did a shopping day in Ann Arbor and stopped here for lunch. The naps are so good! I had the last shorty which is made with short rib, and a mushroom one. My daughter had the chicken/apple and a pork one. All excellent. We will be back for sure. Picked up drinks at York next door, the cappuccino was very good.

Partner and I visited them recently and wanted to give a shout out.1. Great customer service2. Amazing fries (properly crispy)3. Partner reports the veggie mushroom bao was excellentFYI since this isn't advertised anywhere: the bao buns have dairy in them so please avoid them if you have dairy allergies or dietary restrictions. I might recommend getting your food on rice instead.Good business, go check them out.

This was my 2nd trip and honestly, didn't love them as much as I did the first time. Everything seemed greasy. I couldn't even get a pic of my shorty bun as it was soaked all the way through with red grease. The pork belly was still good but not as flavorful as my previous visit. Like it was lacking sauce or something. Dunno. still decent but wouldn't make a special trip to get more

I've been wanting to checkout Bao Boys since I saw them on IG and finally went yesterday. The baos were delicious and definitely worth the visit. Each one was packed with a lot of meat and flavor. The loaded fries were also great! I appreciate the service and that they did allow me to make a few adjustments by excluding the cilantro. The food truck is located in a very vibrant unassuming outdoors area behind some other restaurants and stores.

Been following them on insta for awhile and stopped by for lunch today while visiting family in town. I knew we wanted the loaded fries and we also decided to try a variety of bao buns. The bao buns were very soft and loaded with flavor. I had the spicy pork and I wouldn't consider it spicy but it was bursting with umami. The wife had the shorty and said it tasted just like the fries but in a steamed bun. I also had the chastu but it was lacking compared to the other two. If we were to come back while visiting family we would probably get two orders of the loaded fries. The fries were super crisp and had a giant portion of short ribs, green sauce, and cilantro with radishes. The green sauce is a very unique combo of flavors but isn't spicy. The only downside today was they were out of drinks but was able to go inside York and get some water. Regardless the service was super quick and we hope to be back while visiting.

The bai sandwiches were amazing. I had the beef and spicy chicken and can't imagine them being any better. I am glad they are just far enough away from my work that I won't be able to get there very often. They are so good I would be there almost every day. As an added bonus I managed to drop my work badge in the parking lot and the person preparing the food found it and called me to come get it. Needless to say great food and service above and beyond the call of duty. Can't recommend this place enough.

Food was delicious! We tried all of the boas and they were all really good. I think my favorite was either the tofu boa or the spicy chicken boa. They were all very flavorful and filling and came with a lot in them. We also tried the elote fries and they were really good. The service was pretty quick and very nice. The boa boys is a food truck with some good free parking spots surrounding it and a lot of seated area outside to enjoy. There was also a fire pit by it which was cute. Overall I really enjoyed my experience there and I will be back again.
