Actual review ~3.7. The staff is friendly and the kitchen is open late night. Although the kitchen closes around midnight, the bar stays open much later even on weeknights. Tips1) the Boas are good even late night 2) try the bar around back first late night. 3) tell them to hold the kimchi

Food was expensive, dined here about 2-3 years ago for brunch and the baos that they named themselves after weren't impressive or mind blowing. Decent, I would give it another shot at some point, but this place definitely could use some work. Granted this review isn't complete because I was on the patio and never went inside to do the full experience. I do believe they need to do outside maintenance/clean up their area outside a bit. Regardless if you're a bar you do need to show you care about your location - self respect is important.

We came here for happy hour (M-F 4-8pm) and they have decent happy hour specials with food from $4-7, and drinks from $5-10. I got the margarita, a rail drink, crunchy salmon roll, and crab rangoon, and everything was good for the price. Overall, great place for happy hour! Our server was good and attentive.They have indoor and outdoor seating.

A place I'm always passing by; I'm glad I was able to visit this time! Decided with a friend for a late brunch and only one side of the restaurant was open as we came at an odd time around 230/3pm. We were free to sit anywhere and our waiter/bartender was patience has we couldn't decided begin the all you could eat or a la carte. Honestly, the only thing stopping us were our appetite! There were so many good options and could've easily had our monies worth + more including the 1.99 (I think) mimosas. It took a few for our food to first come out and then we went to order more but brunch was done, no heads up. We ordered a couple appetizers as the options to order were limited but we made do. The shrimp bao bun was good but the chicken dumplings were delicious! Also got the crab Rangoon but they were a hard pass -- didn't taste like a lick of crab in them. Would definitely visit again for a full on brunch moment plus they have hookah, though I'm not sure if it's only available in certain spaces like outside.

Ordered the chicken basil stir fry on door dash and it didn't disappoint. So so good. Loved the flavor of this dish. Will def order from here again and try their other items.

This is a great spot in Clarendon if you're looking to get some small plates for a good price. The JFC bao bun was a 10/10. They also had great sushi, but when they say something is spicy, they do mean it. I recommend going during the happy hour and getting some deals on these small plates as well!

Overall, the food was decent, and the drinks paired well. The ambiance had a young vibe, making it more suitable for hanging out with buddies rather than a family-friendly spot. The service was decent as well.

I got the tuna nachos and they were really good! Went for a late night snack (around 10 pm) and they were still serving. The sushi looked really good as well and def want to go back and try it. Fun environment with some arcade machines and a dj. The staff were friendly. Seems like the spot to be when the weather becomes nicer since they have a outside bar.

There's some street parking around, we didn't end up making a reservation but it didn't really matter so it was quiet which surprised me.We opted for the bottomless brunch and the carafe of mimosas which was totally worth it. Our server, James, was awesome. The brunch was $36.99/person and the carafe of mimosas (~8 glasses was only $13.99).We ordered the Calamari, Honey Shrimp, Chicken & Waffles, Bulgogi Hash, Braised Pork Bao, Breakfast Tots, Salmon Benedict, Pork Dumplings, Home Fries, JFC Bao, Shrimp Tempura Bun, Short Rib Bao, Steak Frites and Nutella French Toast. Notables and recommendations: Honey Shrimp, Chicken & Waffles, Bulgogi Hash, JFC Bao, Short Rib and Nutella French Toast were amazing. The other ones were ok and not bad but too salty or the sauce was too overpowering for my taste. Overall, genuinely surprised about how great everything was! Definitely recommend!Total before taxes ~ $88

I had a deeply disturbing experience at Bar Bao, and I feel compelled to share it. On march 2nd, as I was leaving the establishment, one of the manages Manish--while on duty--began shouting discriminatory, racist, and degrading insults at me without any provocation. His behavior was not only unprofessional but also outright unacceptable, especially coming from someone in a leadership position.Among other things, he called me a "homeless b****" and made offensive remarks implying that I had been with someone solely for financial reasons. Such behavior is not only degrading but also legally questionable, especially in a workplace setting.No customer should ever be subjected to this kind of verbal abuse, let alone by the manager of the establishment. If this is the standard of professionalism upheld at Bar Bao, then I strongly advise others to think twice before supporting this business.If necessary, I am prepared to take legal action regarding this incident. Discrimination and harassment should never be tolerated.
