This mapo tofu is outstanding! The sauce is rich and aromatic with the perfect level of spiciness. The tofu is silky smooth and soaks up all those amazing flavors. Highly recommend!

The sheng jian bao were amazing! The bottom was perfectly crispy and golden, while the top remained soft and fluffy. When I bit into it, the savory pork filling released a burst of hot, flavorful broth. The sesame seeds and scallions on top added a nice aromatic touch. Just be careful - they’re served piping hot!

Had the pleasure to lunch here during a quick trip to nyc. One of the best chinese food I've ever had, their dumplings and orange chicken is truly amazing (their pasta is also really great). Hope I can come back soon. The attendant was also really polite.

I absolutely love The Bao! Their soup dumplings (xiao long bao) are some of the best I’ve had in New York — thin skin, juicy filling, and perfectly seasoned. The service is quick, and the atmosphere feels warm and authentic. Definitely a must-try spot for dumpling lovers!

I recently visited The Bao, and it was such a pleasant surprise! Their Soup Dumplings (Xiao Long Bao) were definitely the highlight—delicate skin, super juicy inside, and served piping hot. The service was quick and friendly, and the overall vibe of the restaurant felt cozy yet modern. Definitely a great spot if you’re craving authentic flavors in a casual setting.

The atmosphere of The bao restaurant is warm and inviting. However, the real star is undoubtedly their crab roe xiao long bao. Each xiao long bao is extremely exquisitely made. Inside the thin yet resilient wrapper lies a generous, fragrant and juicy filling of crab roe.

This is a restaurant worthy of recommendation. The stir-fried egg tofu on a sizzling plate that I ordered today really blew me away. When it was served, the sizzling plate made a hissing sound and steam was rising from it. Instantly, the enticing aroma wafted into my nose, making my mouth water.
