Wow what a unique idea for a business, if you love Bao Buns you’ll of course love this spot! I love the variety of Bao options and it’s a nice fusion of Bao with flavors of all different cuisines, not just Asian. Like many others I also recommend the three Bao combo, 3 is enough to fill you and it’s a solid value. Even if you want more $5.95 is a great price per one. My favorite is the lil bao wow because I love the way they incorporate the Philly staple of roast pork! I 100% recommend this spot!

I got take-out and it was ready in under 15 minutes. Everything was fresh and delicious and looked great. I got three different bao buns and loved them all, also got the grilled chicken bowl. I really liked the salad on the bowl, crunchy veggies and the mint was unexpected but went so well with it. I was very impressed and satisfied!

Delicious baos with a distinct Philly twist. We tried the Clucky, Lil Bao Wow, the Bao Boa, and the limited edition Thanksgiving Gobbaoler. The proteins, sauces and condiments were nicely balanced in each one. The bao bun was also soft and spongy, able to hold the contents of the baos without falling apart. Great spot for a snack!

I INHALED the food. One bite and I found myself locked in to the smells and flavors. The cucumber salad was perfect level of spice flavor. The threesome (Mahi Mami, Bang Bang, and Cauliente) were so good.

Prolly the most underwhelming meal we had. It was ok honestly a bit disappointing on the flavor. Small portions for the price.
