Loved the food. Busy location, short wait, friendly and quick staff. Pork bun was out of this world. Others were also good.

Wicked Bao was a bit of a roller coaster. You walk in excited, try one of their plates, and it’s peak but then you order another to explore more of their menu, and things start going downhill. I had heard great things about the place and was genuinely looking forward to it, but overall, my experience was just average.
The Baos themselves are fantastic, flavorful, soft, and served quickly. I had the Trio Baos, which came with three different flavors, all of which were really good. That said, they’re on the smaller side, and I was still hungry afterward. The plate was around 22 dollars with ice tea
I decided to try the special they had that day, the Seared Tuna, and that’s where the disappointment came in. For the price, it felt expensive and lacked presentation. The rice was plain and needed salt or seasoning, and the tuna itself was bland. The cucumber salad on the side was actually good, though it could have been even better with a touch of sesame seeds, cilantro, or radish for freshness. They serve a good quality Tuna but for $32.00 dollars, it felt like wasted potential.
I’d definitely come back for the Baos, they’re the star of the show but I’d skip the other dishes unless they bring them up to the same standard

Just left feeling hungry and disappointed, could've just left my girlfriend for that but that's ok. The food was very expensive for what it was.
-Charred Octopus (chewy and soft like its old also flavorless)
-Bao Trio (this was relatively mediocre, reasonable)
-Beef Noodle Soup (you get two tiny pieces of meat and the bowl is about as much as you'd get in a small cup of soup in a regular restaurant but put in a bigger bowl so you perceive your full ig)
-Kimchi Fried Rice (this was more like a child's portion for adult money)
All in All, we spent $94 on all this. Left hungry and dissatisfied. I travel everywhere in search of flavorful hole in the walls. If you're gonna spend good money make sure you go to a good place. 3/10. Owner has great hospitality, staff did their job. Would not recommend this place. All food was bland and that's not an opinion its a fact.

Can’t say enough great things about this place! In town with family for a long weekend and ate there twice. Everything was delicious and the atmosphere is great! The owner so sweet, makes you feel so welcome!
This is the best Asian cuisine I have ever had. It’s so good that it makes me wish I lived here. We visit every year and this is a MUST HAVE. I try something different every year but always get the Bao trio. Highly recommended.

We went to Wicked Bao to celebrate my husband’s birthday and it was an unforgettable experience. At first we weren’t sure we were in the right place, driving through the port, but then this amazing little spot appeared with such a cool and vibrant energy. The owner greeted us with the biggest smile and made us feel like family, explaining the menu with genuine passion and recommending dishes with care.
The food was absolutely delicious, full of rich flavors that take you somewhere else, and the entire staff was warm and attentive. Excellent drinks, great vibe, and a place that clearly has many loyal guests. I’d love to keep it a secret, but Wicked Bao truly deserves all the love and success in the world.

We’re new to the island and couldn’t have asked for a warmer welcome. Natalie, the owner, is amazing—she took the time to walk us through the menu and all the gluten-free options. The food was excellent, and the sake cocktails were outstanding. You can tell everything is made with care. Absolutely worth a trip!
