Bao is my go to place when I'm craving Vietnamese food!! Service is always cheerful and helpful. The restaurant is spacious and has bright lighting. Their Vietnamese fried chicken wings are a must try! I love their Hu Tieu, super flavorful with combination meat and seafood. Always down to eat their pho also - especially the rare streak. If you're wanting something sweet to drink, try the Thai tea!

Bao is a solid four star experience. The restaurant is tucked away in a shopping plaza that offers plenty of parking. They have a nice outdoor dining space and the inside is spacious.I sat at the bar. It was a dimly lit and quiet. I settled in and ordered the spring rolls and the pho ga. The spring rolls came out right away and they were fantastic!The pho didn't come out FOR A WHILE. The waitress was very apologetic which I appreciated but it definitely put a damper on the overall experience.When the pho came out it was a great portion. It was good pho and well worth the price. If I were going to be in town again, I would probably consider stopping in for another meal.

The food was really good! I normally go to the Prairieville location. This location's ambiance was more of a restaurant, which I liked. I took one star off my review because the service was very underwhelming. The restaurant wasn't busy and our waitress was no where to be found.

Delicious! The pho was super savory, warm, filling, and the perfect meal for this rainy day. My friend and I both ordered the beef broth pho with double rare steak. It was her first time trying the dish and she absolutely loved it! It was my first time trying taro milk tea and I am craving it while writing this the next day! I'll definitely be ordering this exact meal next time I come!

I can't wait to go back and try something else! The atmosphere is beautiful. Every person that works there checks on you. Amazing customer service. Prices very reasonable. I ordered chicken pho and pork spring rolls. Absolutely delicious. Best I've had in the city so far.

Ever been to a Vietnamese restaurant with southern hospitality? I'm from California, spit distance from little Saigon. Never expected amazing pho in Baton Rouge. This place hit the spot. Staff is friendly and accommodating. This is a must checkout spot.

Over the years, Bao has proven to be the most consistent Vietnamese restaurant in Baton Rouge, whether it's the flavor of the food or the quality of the service. I love getting the tamarind wings when I get the chance to dine in here - the wings are usually huge and always fried to perfection. I'm a sucker for anything sour or spicy, and tamarind seasoning happens to be my weakness. If you want to try something new, I highly recommend getting the bun bo hue and maybe even pair it with one of their milk teas or even a soda chanh (Vietnamese lime soda). I love the chill atmosphere along with the Vietnamese music playing in the background. It isn't usually noisy, but it certainly can be when it's busy. If you prefer some quiet away from the crowd, Bao has outdoor seating as well.Side note - I love that the bathrooms are always clean here and even the non-viet servers know the menu when we order in Vietnamese! They always get our order right and the food comes out in the correct order.

Y'all already know I love sandwiches but if you're new here, then hi! I'm Karri, and I'm a sandwicholic. (Insert "hi Karriiiii" here lol). The bánh mì is one of my favorites because it's a perfect balance of meat and veggies to bread. I hadn't had one in a while, so I ended up at BAO Vietnamese Kitchen to try to get my fix. This was on a Friday afternoon around 2:00, so I ended up getting a few things to try along with the bbq pork bánh mì, including eggrolls, a taro coconut milk tea, and a cocktail.The bánh mì was good! The bread was fresh, meat flavorful and tangy and veggies also freshly washed and julienned. The egg rolls were fresh out the fry. I ended up bringing a friend here a few months later and unfortunately the experience was less than stellar, so they could work on the consistency between their lunch and dinner service. All in all, I'd probably give it another shot.

Everything else is alright. Except Banh Mi, should be crunchy and grilled chicken is cold.
