HIPBAO

The woman who runs the cash register, who I'm assuming is one of the owners, was one of the nicest, sweetest people I've ever met and even brought us out some free cinnamon chips to try that were a better version of Taco Bell's cinnamon twists. I ordered the vegetable fried bao, egg custard bao, and a vegetable spring roll. The egg custard bao was the star of the show for me and I learned I prefer the texture of the steamed bao over the fried so I'll go for the steamed vegetable next time instead. I've definitely had better bao in other states but I'm happy Omaha has a bao place nonetheless. I would skip the spring roll next time, it wasn't as flavorful as others. I'm excited to go back and try their dumplings, potstickers, and taro bao.

So yummy! We drive by here all the time and have never stopped until today. The woman that runs the restaurant is so nice and the food is so good. Two of us shared beef fried bao, beef, dumpling soup, and scallion pancakes. We also got to try the hot and sour soup which was delicious. Everything was served piping hot and we will be going back for sure!

Finally got a chance to try this place and it definitely something different. Nothing special to write about the dine in portion since I think most of their customers are "to go" orders or delivery. The bao were good, but nothing spectacular. I'll try the other items on their menu if we ever get a chance to come back.

We had one of our Supper Club group outings at Hip Bao a while back, and I have ordered delivery orders from them many times since. Each and every time, it has been consistently delicious and affordable!The ambiance when eating in is very colorful and fun. The staff we interacted with were all great about any questions we had or recommendations we asked for.We started with the Pork Potstickers. They were juicy and full of meat (no skimping, here!) that was perfectly cooked, along with plenty of sauce for dipping.Another starter we tried as the Dumpling Soup that comes inside a dumpling and gooshes out when you cut into it. The soup inside was salty and delicious, and I loved the style it was served in.Our last starter was the Beijing Noodle Soup. It came with Asian noodles, minced bits of pork, and lots of shredded veggies. It reminded me of a few other ramens I've had, but with a twist on it, as the meat was minced so it was a lot easier to have a bit of the meat in each bite/slurp!After our starters and soups, we obviously had to get a few bao buns each - I think we probably tried all of them when all was said and done.They have both steamed and fried bao buns, and we tried both. They definitely had a different texture than each other, but I liked them both; they were just different styles.My favorite was the pork fried bao bun. I liked the chicken and the beef steamed options too, but the pork seemed to work best as the protein along with the fried bao texture.Everything we had on our first visit (and that I've had in my subsequent orders) has been absolutely delicious and cooked expertly - so I don't think you can go wrong with anything you try!

Nice to find a variety of foods out here in Omaha. This place is great for a quick bite and if you want to get away from burgers and pizza. The spot was nice and clean and the service was absolutely fantastic. The food was ok. The buns lacked fillings and seemed like they were frozen. The pancake was a bit hard - like it was twice fried and the beef used in the soup was chewy.

Something unique, off 84th and Center ST.To describe Bao, I couldn't give it justice and would recommend searching for Mike Chen or Strictly Dumpling on youtube and Bao.That being said I had a fried beef bao, with pork potstickers and was treated to a cinnamon desert.The dishes were very tasty and not over filling. They also had a vinegar based sauce that was a nice alternative to most soy based sauces that added to the flavor and wasn't overbearing. There was a gentle "clear your sinuses" sensation to the sauce but it wasn't as strong as some hot sauces or horseradish sauces tend to be. The server told me it was the mild one.I would definitely recommend Hipbao if you are in the area looking to try something different.

I have been looking for a bao place in Omaha so I was excited to see how many options they have on their menu! The fried bao were very good but you can see the filling doesn't have much. I still enjoyed it. The dumpling soup I had to add some of the sauce they gave me to the broth since it was really lacking flavor, but once I did that I really liked it! Loved the texture of the dumplings. The inside of the restaurant was also pretty clean. However I am giving 3 stars because it was not as flavorful and wowing as I hoped!

My husband and I came here on a Thursday for lunch. It wasn't too busy, so we got our food within 10 minutes. It was hot, fresh, and tasted wonderful! We started with the crab Rangoon plus sweet and sour sauce. The triangle shape was different, but I loved the crispy edges! We got the juicy pork dumplings, and they were certainly juicy! The pork fried bao were another hit. We wish they would've had water available without having to buy a bottle, but that wasn't a big deal. Soda was available through a normal soda machine. We had fantastic service from the cashier, who looked like could have been the owner, and we'll certainly be back again.

I ordered online for lunch on Friday. The service was very timely and my food was nice and hot! When picking up my food, the kind lady behind the counter reviewed my order and explained which sauce went with which food. The food? IMMACULATE. I got the pork potstickers and the pork dumpling soup. I was very impressed with both and the portion size was huge. I ate the rest for dinner! I am very pleased with Hipboa and will be back!

Love this place! Hand made dumplings and Bao! The dumpling soup was fantastic and genuinely caring owner!
