Was S at Bao Tea House a mag?
Didn't get a chance to try any of the teas but the baos are maybe the best I've ever had! We tried the classic bow which was crispy flaky sweet yet savory. Also had the curry bao and that was one of the best onigiri's I've ever had. Lastly, we had sole bao which had crispy fish and was so delicious. Would definitely go back! ?Food: 5/5 View all feedback.

This is a nice and cozy bao shop with a great variety of Bun that is located in Greenwich area. We ordered 4 types of bun. We recommend the Lava Bào and Egg Bào. They were amazing. The dough was so soft and the filling was so dreamy.We will try other Bao next time. There is still plenty of options to choose.

This is my second favorite tea spot in the city!Their starry starry night tea is as dreamy as it looks. Appearance aside, I love how it was just the right amount of sweetness for my tastebuds, and was fruity and flavorful! I caught them at Smorgasburg last season and also ordered two sweet baked baos egg yolk and lava.They both were delicious but my favorite was the lava. It was a black sesame bun filled with homemade custard and coconut milk and was exploding with flavor. Check out their locations near Chinatown or Washington Square Park, their Williamsburg and Prospect Park locations during the Smorgasburg season, or the Union Square Park market during the winter/spring seasons! They have a variety of unique savory, sweet, steamed gua, and onigiri buns, (milk) teas, and other drinks.Hot tip: they offer vegetarian and vegan options

The food and drinks here are fantastic. It was a little expensive, but the fried chicken baos were definitely worth it! The service was very fast and they were super nice. The place was also really cute. They had great lighting and interesting seating areas.

Very cute place with amazing service, but definitely overpriced. If you get a single bao it's $4.25 each, which is quite pricey given the size. I got the lava bao, which is the black sesame and custard bao. Unfortunately, the custard overpowered the black sesame, and there was very little black sesame flavor. A tad bit on the sweet side, but it reminded me of the custard buns at dim sum which are my absolute favorite. The employee was very patient with our order and gave really good recommendations. Overall, the baos were pretty good, and I loved the atmosphere. I would only come back if my friend or family wanted to try this place, and I probably would not go out of my way to come here for myself.

My first time ordering from Bao Tea house and was disappointed. The lava bao 's specifically says each order comes in a box with two buns so we assumed they all did but each box had only one bao per order. Me and coworkers ordered 7 things and it 's so tiny barely enough for one person. The doordash description is not clear and accurate and should be updated.
