    Definitely a small place! Quick service, great food, and left with fully belly. Great place to stop when in SoHo. Beware you will be required to wait outside during busy hours.

    An absolute pleasure. Small, intimate, and simple yet flavorful options. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and attentiveness of the staff and instantly wished we had a place like this in the states. A new favorite, everything was great and I highly recommend it. I had the classic bao, beef bao, chips and mushrooms. Will be back.

    Buns are one of my favorite foods in the world so expectations were high. I was still blown away! There's often a line outside and the interior is small so it can feel a little hectic, but it's a really beautiful space that also feels trendy. We came in a party of two on a weeknight and they were able to squeeze us immediately, with that caveat that we had to leave within an hour for another party's reservation. We ordered 3 buns to share between the two of us and we immediately ordered more. The confit pork was extravagant. Soft and absolutely melt in your mouth. It's like they took all the best qualities of a traditional pork belly bun and put it together. The party next to us was halal and they had a little trouble ordering because all the fried items are fried in the same oil.

    I cannot recommend Bao highly enough. The food was amazing, the staff was friendly and provided recommendations, and I left feeling satisfied and that I'd gotten my money's worth. We tried a lot more than what is pictured here, but we couldn't stop eating long enough to take the pictures.
