Bao by Kaya - W52nd

Really tasty food in a fun food hall! I could see this being a fun place to hit up for lunch during work. The service was quick and the food was really solid (we got the 2 bao combo). Would definitely come back again!

All items are tasty. And the cashier is very friendly. But I didn’t expect the $14 combo just to have 3 pieces of dumplings.. I was NOT filled!! Also Bao is supposed to be wrapped fully!! This open end kind makes your finger really sticky!!

Fun little bao and chicken popcorn menu, for a relatively good price. The bao's were refreshing and pleasant to eat. Would give 5 stars! The chicken popcorn was a bit flat in taste though. The milk tea is clearly something that they offer on top, and don't really try to perfect in any way; I would stay away from it next time. Altogether, the lunch deal was a nice; quantity certainly being enough for 1 normal human being, and the price reasonable, but also not memorable enough to score a 5 star review.

I was craving Bao buns after work one day without the crazy price point. I decided to order pick up, and got the curry chicken, duck and pork belly. I’m so happy I went with the quick convenient option! The buns were soft and fluffy and all the fillings were amazing. You really can’t beat what you get for $5. All of them were amazing too!

The whole experience feels tailored to people like me. Their portion sizing means two people can order less. The service personnel create a great family atmosphere with good attention. This place offers a unique aesthetic experience. I'm absolutely pleased with this restaurant.
