Very average tasting food.

Can't say anything about the atmosphere because I ordered through Grubhub. I can say that I've had a really hard time finding food that sounded enticing to eat because I have cancer and am in chemotherapy. My mouth tastes like a tin can, and I'm thrown off by cooking smells. So, when a friend gifted me a card and I found myself having a hankering for dumplings, baozi, and sesame bolls, I decided to order from the closest spot that offered all of the above. The food arrived pretty quickly. They did not disappoint. The curry beef baozi were fluffy and flavorful. The truffle pork soup dumplings were beautiful and bursting with broth. My sweetie got the beef and onion dumplings with soup. They were moist and tasty and very filling, and the soup was piping hot and comforting. The sesame balls crowned our meal with their toasty, crisp exterior, delightfully gooey mochi layer, and just-sweet-enough red-bean filling. I ate more than I expected and enjoyed every bite!

We love ordering from Mr Bao on occasion, I am so obsessed with all their food I could eat it every day. I don’t know how to guys make your Phoenix Buns…but if you ever decide to start making frozen ones to buy in bulk, i’ll take 100. one of my favorite dumplings spots on this side of BK!

Taste of food is decent. However, ordered late-night delivery, including an item being subject to a BOGO promotion. They did not honor their own promotion. Thoroughly disappointed by the service.

Ordered takeout. Soup dumplings, red oil wontons, siu mai, har gow, duck wonton and egg yolk bun (phoenix bun)
The southern style items were much better than the northern style ones. Red oil wontons were nice and spicy but lacking some flavor. Soup dumplings were averagely good. Duck wonton had some bone or cartilage in there. My highlights were the egg yolk buns and har gow

I ordered the dan dan noodles on Doordash and got food poisoning. Do not recommend. Phoenix buns were ok.

My husband and I strolled in after 8pm on a Sunday because we were looking for a quick, easy dinner. We had the Beijing Street Noodles (essentially zha jiang mian) and the boiled pork and chive dumplings and both dishes were very authentic to my (Singaporean) palette! Only thing I’d changed is for the dumpling sauce to be a little less sweet, but it was still good. ✨

In addition to the bad service that a lot of ppl already mentioned they are sneaky and put their B rating on the side window, so it's not visible from the front. They've had that rating for a long time, meaning they're not even making an effort in becoming cleaner. Not going there again.

I don't know why the reviews are so bad, I think most of it tastes pretty good, especially the beef bowl. It is pretty price though.

Ordered the Beijing Street Noodles for lunch and it's one of the only times I can remember throwing out an entire meal and I'm not that picky about food. The noodles were very meh and overcooked (tasted like pre-made packaged noodles) and the minced pork topping was way too salty to eat.
I'm also not sure if this place is associate with Mr.Bao group anymore. The Mr.Bao group website has the ParkSlope spot listed as a location, but the link to their menu shows up as "Restaurant Not Found / Inactive!" It's definitely not the same menu as the other locations. The service and atmosphere were fine, but there are much better options in the area.
