Terrible service. It took more than 20 mins to make chili oil noodles when there was no one at the place and little to no orders. There were 2 ladies and one guy server. The two ladies did not even get to the noodles until asked when the noodles were going to be finished 15 mins later.

Nice little restaurant and server was welcoming. Most of the orders they had were take-out. Food is reasonable priced and portion is good for sharing as you can order many plates to share.

Bao Express is more of a casual takeout-style spot or quick eatery — not really a place to sit and linger. I’ve been there a few times, and I usually order their Hunan-style noodles, especially the one with sour long beans or the farmhouse stir-fried pork (农家小炒肉) noodles. Those dishes are honestly quite good — flavorful, satisfying, and make for a solid lunch.
However, I strongly do not recommend their 煎饼果子 (Chinese savory crepe). I’ve had 煎饼果子 from many places, and theirs was by far the most disappointing. The texture and flavor just weren’t there — I wouldn't order it again.
They also serve baozi (steamed buns) and dumplings, which are decent — nothing amazing, but enjoyable enough. If you're stopping by for a quick bite, the buns and noodles are your best bet.
A few other notes:
The seating is uncomfortable — very basic and not designed for dining in. It feels like a “eat and go” setup.
Great for a quick lunch, especially if you’re craving something warm and flavorful.
Here’s my breakdown:
Noodles: 4 to 4.5 stars
Bun/dumplings: 3 to 4 stars
煎饼果子: 1 star at best — would not recommend
Overall: I’d give the place a 3 out of 5. It really depends on what you order.
Stick to the noodles and buns, and skip the jianbing — and you’ll likely leave satisfied.
I ordered take out food, nothing’s wrong, highly recommend the carot balls and toufu. But the pancake is really dry and tough, they better add more sauce to it.
Food is mediocre. Portion is extremely small. Really stingy on meat. I ordered beef baked bun with potato. Literally all potato. With tiny amount of beef. I am still good for another full meal.

I don’t want to sound extra but the hand made noodles with tomato and eggs that I had yesterday reminded me of my mother. I miss her food. The place definitely will be my new favorite. Very clean and very delicious food.prices are reasonable and the staff specifically the guy who served food is very well spoken and very friendly. I highly recommend the restaurant.

Food was very good, I had pork bao and beef and carrot bao, both were very good. Atmosphere was neat, the seating was interesting. Everything was in Chinese so if you don't speak it, use Google Lens to translate the words in the restaurant. I've been here twice, will be back.
Parking: It's a strip plaza, there is usually parking available.

This store has opened for two years , today is the first time try it, the boa is excellent, loved, but the rest of the food is so bad, wonton wrappers is very heavy, the soup is tasteless, the stinky tofu is so much salt , can not put into you mount, ( the salt must be on sale), deep fry radish ball, all I can see is flour no radish…. Anyway, I will not go back, once is enough.. wasted my valuable money….
