About Lee & Bai Chinese Bao shop

Lee & Bai Chinese Bao Shop is a restaurant focused on freshly steamed bao. Customers are advised to come early, as items often sell out fast, with the best time noted as around 2pm when batches are made in-house. The business model involves ordering at a kiosk for fast pickup with minimal interaction. Reviews of the baos themselves are mixed, ranging from positive to just okay. Specific praise highlights bao steamed perfectly with soft, moist buns and flavorful fillings, with the Chengdu braised pork bao noted for good flavor and lots of sauce, and the pickled veggie and meat bao also enjoyed. Other baos, like the Chives and Egg, can be low on filling volume and flavor. The porridge receives mention as probably the best thing, though some feel it could use more seasoning. Noodle dishes, like the Chengdu Mixed Noodles, are frequently a disappointment, described as very oily and greasy, or dry with stuck-together noodles and a sauce that is just spicy without much flavor. Sides like the Cucumber and Yuba Salad offer a fresh, sweet, and salty crunch, though the yuba can be dry and the garlic flavor very strong. Drinks like the Jasmine soy milk and other soy bean drinks are okay but sweeter than expected, resembling milk tea more than regular soy bean drinks. A chili sauce behind the counter is available upon request and described as yummy with a roasty flavor. The shop closes at 7pm, which some find early. It is seen as a decent option for a quick lunch, especially for those specifically craving bao.
