Place is cute (inside), the outside signage didn't really fit the look of what they're going for on the interior.The food came out in moderate timing (about 15-20 mins.), we we're the only table inside so that was surprising it took a little longer than what we're use to. Price is a smidge on the higher side, but they do justify the price with the portion sizes; they're decently large.Food was flavorful, not too oily/greasy at all! If you are in the looks to try a new 'Asian Fusion' spot and don't want to go to a fancy shmancy place, this is a good spot to go! With friends, family, or even a casual lunch date with someone. I recommend giving it a try

the foods alright, but the last few times ive tried going there theyve been temporarily closed for "annual Maintenance & Renovations," which they claim is 2 weeks. however, these last few times that ive tried going has been from the middle of May to today, July 13

A good meal made by real good people. As described, Graffiti Bao is serving up fast casual Chinese food. Nothing too complicated and the menu is not extensive. In the spirit of real deal Hawker Centres you find throughout Asia (for an uninitiated non-Asian person, think of a Hawker Centre like a a gritty, rough around the edges, food truck/food court, that probably doesn't have air conditioning and tables that may or may not have been wiped down, packed with people and SO MUCH DELICIOUS FOOD made by families from passed down generations.). But at Graffitti Bao, the place is super clean and the establishment does have A/C. LOL!The food is uncomplicated and delicious....like you would find in a Hawker Centre. The establishment is small and designed to be "fast," not a place to linger but maybe more grab and go. As mentioned, menu is limited and uncomplicated. Focusing on a few things well. But Graffiti Bao gets five stars in my head because of the staff. I have had food here as a patron and I also have the privilege of coming here regularly as a volunteer. (insert your head scratching here). Graffiti Bao, in addition to being a restaurant that serves the community, it is also "a restaurant that serves the community." Through outside programs not administered by Graffiti Bao, this restaurant prepares delicious meals for families in need and then volunteers like me helps deliver those meals around the valley. I have been picking up meals here for a few years now and the meals are always prepared with efficiency, love and care. Again, this charitable program is run by an outside organization, so don't call up Graffiti Bao requesting food (It all starts with programs through the United Way and others in the valley). The staff member Ron, I have now gotten to know over time and he is consistently friendly, kind and hard working with every single visit I make. He is a great ambassador of this restaurant and really a great human being!So there are lots of options for food and also specifically fast Chinese food. But if I have been here maybe 100 times, as patron and also volunteer, I feel good giving my money to a restaurant with a track record of being good to the Las Vegas community. Life in Vegas often comes full circle like that, doesn't it.

I was craving dumplings for dinner so this place did its job. But other than that, it was alright.Small interior with less than seven tables but you do have high tops located on the side of the wall. In my opinion, you're better off ordering take out and bringing it back to the comfort of your own home.Menu was interesting....actually they got two different menus. One is for dumplings/baos/Asian food and the other is an Italian...pizza menu???! Okayyyyy..... random. Prices are nice and affordable. Each dumpling order comes with three pieces and it's only $4. We had three orders of the Szechuan chicken dumplings and an order of kung pao chicken pao. One order comes with two and it's $14. What I enjoyed most was the scallion pancake ($5.99). Dip that in vinegar....delish! Other items on the menu include rice/noodle plates, rice bowls and a ramen option.Reason why I removed some stars was because even though we were the only ones dining, our dumplings arrived lukewarm. Two minutes later, it was cold. Not sure why it may be sitting there for awhile before it was brought to our table but it would taste much better if it was pippin hot. Cold dumplings is just not the biz.

This place is a solid 4 star in my book. There was definitely some hits and .misses on what we order but still pretty good. First, our server was extremely nice, super accommodating, considerate and helpful. They do have 2 different menu which is weird but the pizza menu was out of pizza so...We ordered the following:Royale bao -- 3/5, given that this place is supposedly known for baos, I was underwhelmed. It is small for $3, and although it was good, it didn't really standoutKimchi fried rice with shrimp 5/5 --this was really really good. I like they they hid an egg under the rice too lol and the shrimp was cooked differently. It was on the crunchy side. The char on the rice was spot on and the sambal sauce goes really well with it.Wings -4/5 outside looks burned and dry. But inside was juicy and tender, it's almost jerk style. I only wish they had more seasoning in their rubSpareribs with folded bao 3/5 --the spareribs we're tough. The saving grace for it was the sauce on top.Burrata with scallion pancakes 5/5 --- super good and creative. Love everything about thisOverall, I definitely glad I tried this place

The braised pork belly was so good. I really loved the flavor of the pork belly, the sauce makes it perfect. The crispy wings was a bit of a disappointment. The flavor is there but it's just really dry. It needs some sort of sauce then it would elevate it a lot.

Decided to give this place another chance! Truthfully, when I first tried them with my bf a while ago we didn't like it at all but I decided to come back since it's so close to my house. Got the pork and prawn egg rolls with the crispy chili garlic noodles with fried tofu! They even have a yelp check-in for their wings. I enjoyed the egg rolls but only with the plum sauce! As well as the chili garlic noodles, though it did come off a little saltier than expected. It was a good portion of food since I had a lot leftover!

Brutal experience when we got there as a family the experience was unfriendly! This place is not family friendly establishment the workers are young and doesn't like kids. Food was bland recommended their garlic noodle it was horrible they said it was their best seller but it was presented and cooked like a mess (see pictures) Bao we ordered was ummm no comment (better leave it at that)! Orange chicken was too much veggies aka bell peppers barely any chicken and sauce wasn't my kids favorite one taste on the chicken they said no thank you I'm full even though I know they super hungry! Crispy chicken wings was no taste! It is our first time and last time for this establishment. Maybe this place is for couple who doesn't have kids and like food that have light taste or barely any taste. We were looking forward to eat at this place with the kids but yeah it was just one and done experience.

This cafe is cheap fast food place, not even close to how it is advertised online. Singapore noodle soup literally has mainly just noodles. There is one breaded shrimp, two very small peaces of meat and two damplips and soy egg. Bao buns has very little feelings, and mostly bread. There is no hot beverages. Cheap plastic silverware. Seating are metal and cold. I don't know who writes positive reviews. I doubt those reviews are real.
I love finding some quality bao and noodles at a fast casual spot. The price point is a great value. And the food is delicious. The only reason this is not a 5 star is because I don't think the staff is all the friendly or welcoming

So disappointed in this place. Food was horrible except the bao was ok. We ordered the yellow curry short rib chow fun and we literally thought they forgot the sauce, it was so bland and the meat was tough and chewy. Scallion pancakes were soggy. We threw it away and left.

Being from Chicago when I saw that hot dog at GraffitiBao I had to have it! On top of it I sampled the BBQ Pork and Royale with Cheese Bar Bunz, Burrata, The Bao Dog, Dynamite Shrimp, and Vietnamese Crab Friend Rice. Small feast. Would I go back? Yes, definitely a goto for faster food! - @chrishough on IG

I don't know why it took us so long to get here. Been knowing of this place for years. We finally made tonight before going to the pumpkin patch. We ordered the crab fried rice, all 5 bao buns, the burrata scallion pancake and nutella bao bun. First of all... NOT ONE BAD BITE. The scallion pancake was insanely good! Never had anything like that before it was so good! We ended up ordering another one to go! All the bao buns were really good. Not as big as the ones you get from dim sum but thats good so you can eat all 5 flavors. Definitely going back!

It was just ok for me. Looks trendy & clean inside. Service was good that's the 3 stars are for. Skip the other food choices & stick with the Bao. Crispy chicken wings was more like chicken jerky. It was over-fried, hard, & dry. I was also confused with the seasoning. My poor beef chow fun didn't have a chance to shine. It was over cooked thus soggy. Strange how it was cut into small pieces didn't it have it long like it should (Long noodles=Long life). Maybe their style? Now, the bao in the other hand was tasty. I like their kalamansi drink container. It was made locally too. I'm in no rush to go back.
