Bao Culture

I ate here with a group and was able to sample a few items. Full disclosure, my experience with Asian cuisine has been in the USA so not a connoisseur. The pork bao buns were a hit with everyone. The won ton soup was very under-seasoned, but had beautiful tiny baby bok choi. The shrimp balls may be an acquired taste but could be described as shrimp hotdog balls. Sea weed salad was very unique, might have been my favorite; much different than what I've had at sushi restaurants. It looks like actual$ seaweed and has a delicious garlic vinegar dressing. Dumplings were ok, didn't love one of the seasonings they use but that's a personal preference thing. The server was ok. Not especially attentive or friendly but got the job done. Ambiance was like a mall restaurant, pretty sparse/cold. Never having had Taiwanese food I don't know if I'm a fair judge. Many recommend this place. I don't care to go back. The flavors didn't please me except for the pork bao buns and I've had the same at other restaurants.

How do you serve a customer burnt food. The burntness over powers the rest of the food so you can't even taste the food. I ordered the pork and cabbage and it was extremely bland.

We dined here this evening 1/18 around 8pm. Pictured is all the food we tried. Food was good. Popcorn chicken rice bowl was just ok. Only 2 people were working (1 in the front, 1 in the back). We walked in and there were 4-5 dirty tables still. We were given plastic forks. The lady was friendly. It just looked like they could definitely use some help.

The restaurant is always super quiet when I come here. My boyfriend and I ate dinner there last night and it was very tasty.

My xiao long bao didn't have soup in them so it made the texture a little dry:/. I also had the steamed pork bun which was okay, flavoring was bland and could definitely taste the green onion as it overpowers the entire bun. It's a nice shop but I might not come back for the xiao long bao or steamed pork bun. The service was great due to the vacancy in the building

I'll give it a good not great rating. I went in to try the soup dumplings. They serve them on paper doilies so the dumpling stick to the paper and you lose the soup taking them off. Flavor wise they were average. Also had the beef noodles. The broth was good as were the noodles but the beef was flavorless.

Ive been here twice now and would give 3.5/5 as a pretty average place. I enjoy the food, mostly the appetizers and the noodle dishes. I wouldn't order the dim sum options again. It's usually pretty empty so service is fast. However I do find the prices to be steep - I got a scallion pancake and popcorn chicken for $22. The chili oil containers also tend to be on the dirty side

If you're looking for a chill spot with good dumplings and delicious food, look no further! Not only was the food great but the service too! Our server was so kind and attentive to our inquiries.We started out with some popcorn chicken and squid balls, which was the right crispy-ness level. The shumai and Xiao Long Bao (soup dumpling) were delicious and fresh! The dough was the right doughiness level and the inside hot and tasty. Definitely recommend dipping it in a mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil.For the main entree, I got the braised beef noodle soup. The meat was soft and the soup flavorful. The serving size was perfect!To go, I got some Taiwanese milk tea with boba and their Kokonut (coconut pudding) dessert. The boba had the right chewiness and the milk tea sweetness balanced. Can't wait to come back again!

The soup dumplings are so good and fresh! Everything is hand made and service was nice and friendly.

A Hidden gem. Their soup dumplings are a must. Their drinks divine. The service from Daisy was amazing. You're definitely missing out if you skip this place
