The Irritable Bao is a popular lunch spot in Auburn that offers delicious and unique fare. The counter-service restaurant is known for its friendly staff, including the attentive owner, who interacts well with customers. Despite often having long lines, the service is fast, and the wait is worth it for the fresh, flavorful menu items that change daily. Customers highly recommend trying the bowls at this family-run establishment. Recent reviews highlight their Korean BBQ Bao and Bang Bang shrimp buns, which are considered some of the best outside of NYC and San Francisco. The brisket, egg, and cheese baorito is praised as one of the best dishes ever eaten, made fresh to order and very delicious. The restaurant’s bao and dumpling game is strong, with the pork belly bao being comparable to authentic Chinese food. Although there is no online menu and only an Instagram page, the place attracts many young customers. Overall, The Irritable Bao offers tasty Asian snacks in a casual setting and is well-loved for its authentic flavors and friendly atmosphere.
