Ninja Bao

I had Ninja Bao bookmarked on Instagram for a while, and I was so excited to finally try it today. I ordered the gyoza sampler box, and it was just as delicious as I'd hoped. The service was great, and the restaurant itself was cute, quaint, and very clean.I was pleasantly surprised with a free scallion pancake--it was crispy and delicious. The portion sizes were generous, and my favorite gyoza in the sampler was the crispy chicken. The texture was spot on, with the perfect amount of filling inside.I'm already looking forward to coming back to try the bao next!

Good spot with friendly service and tasty food. I had the chicken katsu curry and it was lovely, and my friends and I also shared the bao and the chicken gyoza. For the bao, we got pork, veggie, and cheesesteak (which was a fun addition). I didn't try the veggie because it has mushrooms and I hate them with every fiber of my soul, but the other two were great. Love that they offer a free "dessert" which was kind of like a crab Rangoon tasting thing without the crab. It was a sweet cheese puff with veggies. I really liked it. FYI it's down in the septa station - go down in the septa station facing city hall and you'll find it. It's a small place with only a table or two but worth visiting.

Took a little bit of searching to find but who doesn't love a good adventure. Located right in the Septa tunnel you can find Ninja Bao next to the post office and jewelry store. Buns were delectable and I can't wait to get more. Too many to choose so I just got a variety box of 6. Devoured them all for lunch in one sitting. All around excellent experience. Staff were very friendly and the food came out quickly even during the lunch hour. They also have a nice seating area if you wanted to sit and enjoy the space.

It took serious effort to find this place, but it was worth it! My map led me to a building lobby where the security guard guided me to take the stairs down to the SEPTA tunnels. It is located near the jewelry store and is a small shop, but the staff was incredible and the food was very good. I had the spicy miso ramen and got to bao buns to go. Loved it all!It seems like they do a good delivery business, but if you find your self in the area and can find it below ground, it's a great lunch spot!

Business brought me to Philly, and wondered about this place. So, decided to visit after a while.I was glad to see that business was still there and seemed to get customers back. Ordered "usual" Tonkotsu Ramen...and taste was good as before. There was quite generous amount of toppings, though price was slightly increased same as other restaurants after COVID.

You know how "hole in the wall" restaurants off the beaten path just tend to be better? After following a fellow Yelper's review to find the buried treasure I can say with confidence that this is that restaurant. To find this place you need to ignore the Google/Apple Maps and find the Septa station entrance called "15th St Trolly Station". This is on 15th St. across from Dilworth Park. Go down the escalator and go right, through the doors and continue straight to Ninja Bao which is on your right. There is a small seating area (which was busy - a good sign), a counter/kitchen with friendly employees and great smelling food. We ate the 6 piece "I don't know" box of bao buns which contains one of each of their varieties. Each one was perfectly steamed to soft fluffy goodness and the stuffings were all delicious. The sauces (garlic/onion soy, spicy mayo) were excellent. Even the dessert bao were good though a bit on the sweet side. We were in and out within 20 minutes full and happy. Totally recommend this place for our bao bun needs!

How do you make food this good?And what is this dark tangy soy sauce like dip?I've never gone to the actual place but my wife and her coworkers buy their sampler boxes for work meetings. That means she bring the leftovers home. These nights are spectacular for me. I haven't tried one thing here I don't like. That crazy since by the time I get it the buns are at least 6 hours old. I need to get over there and try the ramen. My favorite is the traditional Bao buns.

Amazing wonton soup but be prepared to pay over $10 for a pint. I've had their chicken fried rice which was okay. Service is amazing and I love the vibe of the store.

Y'all y'all y'all y'all. If you're not getting the dumplings you're doing it wrong. These are my new favorite dumplings. I have been twice now. I picked up a fun box for my coworker and I. It is a quite a bit of food but for a great price. Every single dumpling is excellent. There is not a bad choice. Chicken, pork, veggie, or dessert. They are all amazing. I'm glad they opened the restaurant because it looked really nice inside and looked like a fun place to be. The line was out the door and I couldn't be happier about that. Next time I'll take the time to sit down, but grab some dumplings for lunch or dinner. You'll be really glad you did.

I went here with a friend, and it was an amazing experience. The place is clean and well lit. They had some music playing from the radio which gave it a really relaxed vibe. It is a hole in the wall type restaurant though so I wouldn't eat in with a large group, but if you're in town with just a friend definitely check the place out.The service was good. Didn't have any problems there, they were pretty quick with bringing the food out. Simple process to order and they take card.The food itself was awesome. Everything was flavorful and warm. The bao box is perfect if you want to try a bit of everything, along with the dumpling sampler. My friend got the Ramen and said it was okay, nothing too special, but definitely come here for the bao. They come with different sauces that complement the flavors. It's definitely a lot of food, so I recommend trying the Philly Cheesesteak dumplings. I know I know, not traditional but they're so worth it. It's a perfect blend of meat, cheese, and onions that combine into a warm flavorful cheesy mouthful. Don't let their hours deter you from trying this place out. It's definitely worth making the trip to for it. Can't wait to go back there.
