King Bao - Alafaya

Love their food. Service is just as good. I have been ordering food since they opened and they have been consistent every single time.

Don't get me wrong, their food is good but the location is not the move. My favorite bao is the hogzilla, the pork belly is juicy and is worth the price. I also got the firecracker shrimp, crispy but way too much sauce where it felt like it overpowers it. Upon waiting for my food, I notice the smell of the place and as well as the dirtiness of the drink dispenser. You can tell they don't often clean it. Not to mention, the soda are all water down and even the tea. You can taste the sink water mix in. Unfortunately this makes my visit unpleasant and I will not be back at this location.

On a personal note, I am so sad that they got rid of the soft shell crab bao. However, as long as they keep the lobster one, I'll keep coming back! The seafood here is fresh. The amount of lobster is generous to say the least. I'm not a fan of tots so I take my food to go and get French fries from another location. My husband has tried all the other baos and hasn't found one he didn't like. His favorite is the lobster as well or the pork butt bao. The service here is nice and friendly. We normally order off of the self-serve counter but if I have any questions they haven't hesitated to help. It's located in the corner of a strip mall with a few tables and chairs. So the location itself isn't very big. Overall I would recommend coming here for a bao or two.

Taste: 5/5Value: 5/5Ambiance: 3/5I was pleasantly surprised by the prices at King Boa because I'm used to seeing boa much more pricey at other restaurants. Currently you can get 3 boa and a drink for $12. We tried multiple options and they were all delicious. Ordering is self-service at kiosks and they do offer some seating if you wish to dine in.

Came to King bao on a Saturday wasn't very busy. It was my first visit they are located inside a plaza in the middle. The inside has some awesome local art on the walls and also for sale. Plenty of seating I think and ordering was easy at the kiosk. Got the special and a Tarzan. The baos were out quickly and they smelled delicious too.My favorite had to be the glen rhee I loved the apple with the beef it was so nice and the Hogzilla was pretty good as well. Now the Tarzan was very unpleasant the banana was so mushy on a fried bao that texture wasn't good. But I would definitely get there savory baos again.

This is what great value for your dollar looks like. If you don't love a good Boa, you might not have a pulse. Soft, chewy, salty, creatively delicious pillows of joy. I've been to numerous places that charge upwards of $10 for a single boa. King Boa has created an extensive menu and even daily specials, boas of all kinds, for a whopping $12 for 3 high quality boas.These aren't just basic boas. King Boa doesn't skimp on the protein either. I went for the Firecracker shrimp, glen rhee, and kickin chicken. The firecracker shrimp is definitely the best of the bunch. The lemony sauce takes it over the top. The chicken is nicely breaded but lacked seasoning and chicken breast in general tends to be on the drier side, so a thigh would have been the best choice. The glen rhee offers loads of beef and a nice sweet contrast of apple. like I said, high quality and wildly creative! Never been to any King Boa locations before this, but after 1 visit I'm already sold. I need this near me asap!

Came across King Bao and glad got something to eat! Menu is pretty simple which I love. I got the Hot Hot Chicken, which in my opinion wasn't really that hot. I thought the chicken was cooked to perfection and a nice buffalo sauce. The other one I got was Porky Rib Patty and the sauce was nice and pretty good. The tatchos were yummy! The meat that was on it was sweet and a great touch. Also if you're getting two make sure to get the combo deal. It's 2 baos with a drink and pretty filling. Buuuut I could've gone for another one. We got our food rather quickly, and the order process was super easy. You do it on an iPad and then just wait. The place is pretty big nothing crazy. Really just a spot to sit eat and leave. Definitely will go again

I dropped in for a quick lunch today. I really like ordering on the POS system at the front counter. The two employees offered to help me with the lunch selections but that wasn't necessary. They were very nice and prepared my lunch expertly and quick. My favorite was the pork belly boa bun. Very tasty and the bun was super soft and tasty. I look forward to going back to try some of their other specials.

I was so excited to see this hidden gem in Waterford Lakes because I LOVE the Winter Park location! Two bao combo is plenty because there is so much meat in these but this time we got Hot Chicken, Kimchi Chicken, Firecracker Shrimp, and the Glen Rhee. It's a tough choice on favorite for me but it's definitely between Glen Rhee and Kimchi Chicken! If you've never been here before I think it's a must-try. It's a spin off of your traditional Bao Bun - I kind of think of it like the Tin&Taco of Baos!

Love having a good bao option near UCF. We used the self-service kiosks to make our orders, and the staff was quick to start them. We ordered 2 two bao combos and a Tarzan bao, all to be under $25.For our meals, we ordered the Firecracker Shrimp Bao, Hot Chicken Bao, Glen Rhee Bao, and the Hogzilla Bao. Hot Chicken and Glen Rhee Baos weren't our favorites, as the sauce overpowered the rest of the Hot Chicken, and the Glen Rhee wasn't as sweet as anticipated with the marinated Korean meat and the apple salsa. I wasn't a huge fan of the Tarzan, but only because it was a fried bao. This was my fault; I didn't know I'd feel so strongly about not liking fried bao buns.I've had King Bao in the past, and I've enjoyed most of what I've had from them. I feel like they have their hits and misses, but overall, I recommend giving King Bao a try!
