Bao'd Up
3.7 / 5 (1054 reviews)

Description

In a recent dining experience, a restaurant known for its bao offerings has received mixed reviews. While patrons lament the absence of authentic guabao, they still find joy in the other buns and delicious Szechuan fries. The veggie combo, which features a tofu bao, presents a blend of sweet BBQ flavors but is criticized for its lack of depth. The veggie guabao has been deemed underwhelming, falling short on filling and taste. Notably, the Szechuan fries steal the show, praised for their perfect balance of spice and garlic, making them a must-order for any visit.

I ordered the veggie combo, which included a tofu bao, a veggie guabao, and a side of fries. The tofu bao was tasty, with baked tofu in a sweet BBQ sauce and decent toppings, although it felt like it was missing something. The veggie guabao was lacking in filling and flavor, so I wouldn't order it again. However, the Sichuan fries were amazing, with a perfect balance of spice and garlic. I highly recommend ordering the fries.

It used to be better when they had Guabao on the menu instead of just "plates," but the other rolls and Bao are still delicious, including the fritters. Just be sure to specify vegan when you order because some menu items labeled with a V are only vegan upon request.

It was really cute place with good food. The main food is the bao which is ????????????. The place was super cute. And bro the fries and sauce. That stuff is marvelous ????, the fries itself were seasoned and the sauce was just chefs kiss. There was alsosome milk tea and thai tea.. The place is a little small and there is outdoor seating.
