The bao is the best authentic Chinese restaurant in the city. The atmosphere is very warming and comforting. The food is delicious and comes out fast. My server Misty is very knowledgeable about the food and always recommends the best food on the menu. Along with the great conversation with her she’s a great addition to The Bao. I wish I was able to give this place 10 stars but unfortunately I can only do 5 stars.
Reasonable price, delicious food and great atmosphere! I love St. Mark place and Asian restaurant choices there. I think the Bao is the good choice if you starving for Asian food that is also affordable. I one of my favorite there is steamed vegetable dumplings and I would recommend to taste it
Very tasty and reasonably priced bao. The noodles I had definitely lacked flavor, but the pan fried pork soup ones were super tasty! The scallion pancakes were also quite good. I’d definitely come again
