This has been another spot that I've been wanting to try for a while. They have a pretty diverse menu, with a nice variety of noodles, buns, and other dishes (like stir fries). They also have an amazing drink and dessert menu. I got to try out their pork buns, milky mango drink, and piggy cream custard buns.The pork buns were pretty decent, but to be honest, a tad disappointing. The portion was pretty big but the price was also higher than at most places. The buns themselves seem to be well made, but the meat on the inside was strangely somewhat slimy. The dipping sauce was also too bitter in my opinion.The sweet items, though, were quite good. The milky mango had fresh pieces of mango in it. The drink was also pretty creamy and sweet, which was nice. A pretty d went portion as well.The custard buns were cute, but nothing too too special. The custard isn't liquidy like in many other places. It's cookie dough-like in a way. It was solid, but nothing too crazy in terms of flavor. Not too sweet either. I thought it was a tad too expensive.All in all, this is a solid spot for Taiwanese food, but it's nothing too stellar. Maybe some of the more specialized dishes are better. Desserts are pretty good and unique, though.

Went here for lunch with co-workers & I was really impressed! The menu was extensive, tons of options for everyone! The food was delicious & so were the drinks. We ordered the pork dumplings, chicken goyza, & vegetables dumplings to share and all were very flavorful. The dipping sauce was great. Everyone enjoyed their meals! There was a good amount of space for a place in Oakland, we had a party of 7 & there were several large tables. It wasn't busy at all, but the service was a bit slow. They were super kind & accommodating though! I would definitely recommend & go again!

I got takeout here on Memorial Day and the food was great!! I had the Singapore Rice Noodles with fried tofu and it was delicious. The tofu was perfectly crispyI got my boyfriend stir fried ramen with beef and he loved that. Great noodle dishes! We split the dumpling platter and it was very good. The shrimp glass dumplings were kind of intimidating and interesting but I liked the rest. We ended the meal with a sweet treat - the piggy custard buns- soo cute and so good! They were still warm on the outside and such a precious dessert! Everything was we'll packaged in our take out boxes. Excited to dine in here next time and check out the inside of the restaurant!

Very good steamed pork buns and steamed dumplings. The pork buns were light and fluffy with a flavorful pork meatball on the inside. The steamed dumpling platter had three kinds of dumplings and were all great. They were served with a good dipping sauce that went very well with everything.

Casual dim sum spot on a main road in Oakland. The parking can be tricky, but we were prepared for it. The service was friendly, but just not attentive. There were 2 other tables in the whole place and we were only greeted on our way in and out. No water refills. You have to order and pay off a QR code from the table. Had to get up and find someone to ask for a box. The food was pretty good. We typically like something a little spicier, but it was a nice change. The basil chicken was very juicy and tender. The ginger chunks in it were fantastic. The Chongqing chicken was bland. It was fried nicely but 0 heat. I semi expected that since it was not a Sichuan place, but was hoping for a little more. The pan fried pork buns were very good - soft, and the meat had a lot of flavor. Paired very well with the salty dumpling sauce. The pumpkin tarts and sesame balls were also good and not overly sweet. This place was just ok. If the service was better I may come back to try other dumplings, but I may just try somewhere else instead.

There are two locations of Bao in Pittsburgh. This one is the first one and is smaller than the second location, but the place is pretty spacious. Their menu offerred a lot of options. I ordered soup dumplings as an appetizer. Their soup dumplings had very little soup. I wished there were more juiciness to them. I got the stir fried noodles. They were good, but nothing stood out to me. I also go the Japanese curry, which was too bland, and I was unable to finish it. Overall, the food was okay. I felt like they had a lot of options, but the quality of the food was alright.

We came in on Saturday just before 6:30 to grab an early dinner ahead of concert. We got a table with ease. We were debating on getting dim sum or some dishes to try as they have plenty of dim sum options (and c'mon, who doesn't like dumplings?). We settled for the Taiwanese basil chicken, stir fry broccoli, and sui mai. The food arrived quickly. The stir fry broccoli arrived first and then the chicken. - Stir fry broccoli - good leafy like greens cooked in garlic. It's a bit oily but good flavor.- Taiwanese basil chicken - Good flavors, but not much in terms of basil. There are full cloves of garlic and slices of ginger cooked with it to add a robust taste. The chicken is cut up bone-in pieces, so be warned!- Sui mai - six pieces and very plump. It's steamed well. Not as authentic ingredients as traditional siu mai.Service is friendly and fast. It's fairly authentic. If you're looking for Chinese food in the area, I'd recommend it.

My first time here. I got the Japanese ramen with beef shank. The beef was flavorless and the broth was just so so. The dumplings we got were delicious though! They made and brought out the food quickly. Our server was attentive and very joyful and friendly.

I had the cucumber salad and the basil chicken. Both were delicious. The cucumber salad is light and spicy, the chicken was perfectly cooked in a nice brown sauce. Food came out quickly. After tip, the meal came out to $26. A little pricy for lunch, but I had leftovers and service was great.
