New spot we have found and we love it! First time we went was Super Bowl afternoon, super nice Latin workers male and female made it very welcoming and super kind, makes you wanna come back so we did! Today around 10:20pm another work name Sean super kind made my food quick and was super friendly. Unfortunately I wanted to give a full 5 stars but the turn off was the cashier working long black hair big glasses was rude to the other worker Sean for being kind to me. I understand everyone may not know every rule to a t but for her to purposely and rather loud talk down at another co worker for being “to kind” and “what was that for” in front of the customers super uncool. That being said shout to Sean and the workers before that made great food and great customer service! That’s what keeps customer coming back! Attitude like your other worker is what loses them regular worker or supervisor doesn't matter you shouldn’t talk down to someone for being kind to customers! Hopefully will be back unfortunately if I see the worker there I’ll just casually walk across to another store or order online who knows, wouldn’t want to encounter that again!

Bao Spot is a fairly new spot, and I’ll be honest—the vibe threw me off a bit at first. From the outside, I expected something more traditionally Asian-inspired. Inside, it is Asian-inspired… but with a cyberpunk, industrial, almost Star Wars–meets–Hollywood Studios aesthetic. Dark, moody lighting, textured sci-fi-looking walls—it feels a little out of place conceptually, but it’s undeniably cool to look at.
If you’re unfamiliar with bao, they’re light, fluffy, slightly sticky buns—think soft bread without the crust—stuffed with your choice of filling and eaten taco-style. Simple concept, very satisfying when done right.
Ordering is done through a self-service computer screen, and they call your number when it’s ready. You can also get alcohol here, which adds to the hangout factor. The kitchen is partially open, and the overall atmosphere stays on the darker side, which fits the futuristic design they’re going for.
One of the more unexpected (and cool) perks: they host an open mic for all art forms every Tuesday evening. It’s the kind of thing you might stumble into by accident—and end up staying longer than planned.
Overall, Bao Spot feels a little unconventional in theme, but that’s part of its charm. If you’re open to something different—both visually and culturally—it’s worth checking out, especially if you catch it on an open mic night.

Showed up, on accident, on a Harry Potter themed night and dressed up death eaters greeted us at the door… whoever owned/decorated this place was probably involved in the Star Wars ride at Hollywood studios…. Really cool decor and vibe that makes you feel like you’re at a theme park, without paying to enter…. Martian munchies were amazing and so was the the fried chicken, yum yum, and Mojo!! Cool vibe but expect to pay $10 for parking at the old cinema to parking garage or $20 for valet outside!!

Went to meet a friend for lunch and we decided to try this place and boy were we glad we did. The beef bao was SPECTACULAR and the gyoza was crisped to perfection with a delicious dipping sauce. What really stood out was the STELLAR SERVICE from DEVANTE!!! His attention to our satisfaction exceeded our expectations and make us eager to return and try more of the many delicious looking dishes on the menu. We were lucky the weather was perfect for outdoor seating. My only qualm would be how dark the interior was, but that isn't enough to keep me away. I've been raving to all my co-workers about this yummy spot!

Bruhhh!! What is this place? An abandoned alien space station on church street tucked in the bottom of an apartment complex? .. YUP 🤣 Anyway, the food was gud good GOOD. Fresh, good portion and came out quick, walked in at like 10:30 on a Sunday and still everything was perfect. The mojo bao was soo tender and full of flavor and the rice bowl was just as awesome. Will try again next time I get in that area.
Irritated me to the max. I’m a person cook. I have the experience, I know what it takes to run a restaurant. When the restaurant had no wait time it don’t take 35min to make chicken wings and fry small portion kids meal. Short light skin guy I felt like was doing it on purpose. He could’ve been working and talking at the same time. The food made me sick by the way

This place has a great atmosphere. The space restaurant theme is well done. The staff was very nice, Devonte went above and beyond to make our experience there great. The food was really good if you like kimchi the space cowboy bao is excellent. It has a seasoned beef that pairs well with the kimchi. They also make the kimchi in house. They have several bao buns, burgers, and other meals. I will definitely go back when in there area.

I ordered 3 baos, 2 of them with Beef and one with shrimp and the beef ones were inedible. They were black squares of beef that were burnt and dry. We got our food after 9 pm. But that doesn't mean it should be just plain bad. I attempted to call the resturaunt. The voice mail box is nonexistent and it would not ring. Straight to a voicemail box I can't leave a message for.

We get this spot RELIGIOUSLY! Devonte, a supervisor is the absolute best. He heard we were regular customers, and went out of his way to ask some great questions to get to know us, and make us feel more than welcome! His dedication to customer experience, and retention needs to be appreciated! Thank you, Devonte for making our night! The food is always amazing, and every time we are there the vibes are just right. Can’t wait to keep coming back to our favorite spot!
