I am pleased I agreed to choose the recommended chilled ramen bowl along with the jack fruit bao buns. The ramen was not ice cold but a chilled temperature perfect for summer. The flavors were robust. The bao buns were also layered with flavors and various textures to tantalize the palate. To top off the meal I had the lychee lemonade. I thoroughly enjoyed these selections and can't wait to have them again. I recommend Bao and Broth when visiting Optimist Hall.

Multiple options such as ramen and miso. I got the vegan miso, with noodles, corn, spring onions, bamboo and tofu. Food came out really quickly and was delicious. Cheap, cost around $13 dollars for a large bowl. Has lots of seating and a great vibe Updated from previous review on 2025-06-20

The miso chicken is incredible. It’s a huge portion so expect to be full. The broth alone you could just sip on its own. Highly suggest trying this place next time you visit Optimist Hall! 😎👍
