My adult daughter and I stopped in for a quick bite. She ordered 3 curry Bao. $10 is not bad. It was good, but I am not a curry guy.
The space is small and can seat 20 at the most.
The business seems to do mostly Uber Eats.
The decor is minimal and too much concrete for me.
The food came out very quickly

The boa was super fluffy. Decent enough fillings. Such prompt service, I was very impressed.

Staff was super nice. Food was quick, but the bao filling for the pork and curry chicken was not as flavorful as I would have expected.

I was very disappointed with my visit here. The hygiene standards were clearly lacking — the dining area had an unpleasant smell, like perfume mixed with food waste, and some of the plates were not properly cleaned. It was very unappetizing. Unfortunately, after eating, I also experienced stomach issues. I hope management takes these concerns seriously, because this place has potential but cleanliness must come first.

If you are Chinese then baobao is not authentic. If you are not Chinese then it is fun.

Tried different items on the menu and they were okay... Nothing special, didn’t live up to the hype.

I got the congee, spicy tofu boa, and mushroom bao. Out of the three, I would probably only get the mushroom bao again. The congee was very bland. I had to add a bunch of soy sauce to it to make it taste okay and even then it was just okay.
Good vegan options, the spicy tofu bao was delicious!!! Food was hot and came out very fast

Great Baos, dumplings, noodles and more
I tried Bao Bao several years ago and had a bad experience. I looked at the menu again thinking it can't be as bad as I remember only to try it again and it was. Some dishes just bland, others not good even with adding an excessive amounts of condiments.
The food is quality wholesome Chinese steamed buns. Makes that trendy matcha shop nextdoor seem kind of useless.
The pork bao is like a meatball wrapped in bao. Not the best I've had.
We had Bao Bao for lunch during our last day at the NEA RA. We were able to walk from the Convention Center to Bao Bao in under 10 minutes. We did have to wait some time until we got to order and get our food, but it was worth it. I ordered the Wonton Soup with two pork Bao bake and a milk tea with boba. All of it was very good, but the wonton soup was my favorite! Would visit again if I ever make my way back to Portland!
