Bao Dim Sum House

Came here with a friend after we realized that the wait time for 鼎泰豐 (Din Tai Fung) was 180 minutes (yes, 3 whole hours) on a Saturday night. The experience here was JUST AS GOOD as you would have gotten at 鼎泰豐 (Din Tai Fung) but with a lot less of a wait time. All of the juicy dim sums were great, especially the pork and the Korean Barbecue one. The Honey Walnut Shrimp is also a total home run and the service was fast and attentive. 100% recommended!

A bit expensive but worth it. The pork dumplings were a little small but were super good. The pork shrimp shumai was massive, although not quite as good but still delicious. Fried rice portion was massive and good. Baked pork buns were okay, I'm getting them at night though so I don't think they were fresh and that's probably why. Overall a good choice.

We went here for dinner. The service was so quick and the food was delicious. 10/10 recommended

All dim sum is great 👍 "The dumpling skin was thin, the filling was moist and tender, and it was absolutely delicious." Also, server was friendly.

See my pics for all the food we ordered. All of them are good and flavorful, except for one which is spareribs with black bean. I suggest you skip that one. Hot tea comes in a pot which is nice, but I dont get the price for a draft beer($10+)

I've been to Bao Dim Sum House twice, lunch & dinner! They offer a lunch specials menu (Noon-3 p.m.) and a Happy Hour Menu (4-7 p.m.) with excellent prices. I highly recommend trying the Mushroom Dumplings (really tasty) and juicy Roulette (a sort of colorful dumplings) for their special offers. We also liked the Egg Drop Soup and shrimp Wonton Soup. The service is excellent, and the food is pretty authentic! Dinner time is packed so ensure to come a bit early to avoid a long wait.

the only thing i can recommend is the Roast Half Duck. However, the buns look really extra for the dish since the duck doesn’t look like the traditional Chinese Peking duck style. It doesn’t serve those Peking duck skin that matches with the buns. The crispy Brussel sprouts is a NONO, it tasted overly grilled. The crispy seafood noodles doesn’t taste authentic at all. The noodles taste worse than Panda Express, no offense, but i have to be honest. The honey walnut shrimp has 8 shrimps. It doesn’t have any honey odor, but still doesn’t taste that good as well… I personally found this restaurant on “Little Red Book”📕… it’s a Chinese app… really shocked that why would Chinese people recommend this place… i mean the pricing is fine especially located in Beverly Hills, but bro the food doesn’t taste good…if it’s good food with a higher price, i would take it. It’s not about pricing now, but it’s just not authentic and tastes flavorless. The service was great, it’s just the food. People r nice and friendly.

I have been to this restaurant several times and usually ordered the same thing. I would say there are about 5/6 items that are consistently good at this restaurant because when I have explored other options on their menu it seems to be a hit or miss. Certain dumplings and the green beans are great. The service is generally good and I appreciate that. Although I recently learned that they do not hire servers with visible tattoos. As a tattooed tenured professor and community leader, I find it appalling that this restaurant has such an antiquated policy (rooted in classism, and white collar norms). I wouldn't recommend supported an establishment that pays minimum wage and yet discriminates against people with alternative looks.

1/29/25 This restaurant is so cute and clean, the team has amazing vibes. They are kind and great menu recommendations. I had the chicken dumplings, garlic green beans, and chicken fried rice . Delicious food, cute place, the team has great vibes. Thank you for the amazing food and vibes.

By far our favorite dim sum place in LA!! We are regulars and it's consistently delicious every time. They have great deals during happy hour. Some of our favorites are: garlic green beans, juicy pork dumplings, crispy chicken dumplings, beef chow mein, fried rice.

Bao is an amazing and tasty restaurant! My family favorite place for some fresh and delicious Chinese food! Love their crystal shrimp dumplings, fried rice and kung pao shrimp.

Update Review: Came here with a friend after we realized that the wait time for 鼎泰豐 (Din Tai Fung) was 180 minutes (yes, 3 whole hours) on a Saturday night. The experience here was JUST AS GOOD as you would have gotten at 鼎泰豐 (Din Tai Fung) but with a lot less of a wait time. All of the juicy dim sums were great, especially the pork and the Korean Barbecue one. The Honey Walnut Shrimp is also a total home run and the service was fast and attentive. Ambiance is great too. 100% recommended!

Enjoyed the multiple dishes I received here such as the chow mein, pork buns, fried rice, garlic green beans, and Singapore rice noodles. My favorites and recommendations to others are the chicken and spinach potstickers and the salt and pepper calamari.

We were visiting the area earlier this month and were craving dim sum. Since a friend recommended this place, we decided to check it out. Appreciated the valet parking and wonderful service. There was no wait for a Friday evening at 8pm. Food was delicious. We ordered the crab fried rice, cucumber appetizer, xiao long bao, and dessert.

Omgsh this place was sooooo good! The perfect dim sum lunch with besties! We had the Korean soup dumpling and the pork soup dumplings. Some beef lo mein that I could not get enough of, edamame, another dumpling in a spicy sauce and pork pot stickers which were good but not what I was expecting. The food came out as it was made which is my favorite and we started passing around the goodness. Service was pretty good and the place was super cute too! Great place to go from an out of town costumer!

Decent dim sum experience! Stopped in on a Monday night about an hour before close, so we got seated right away. The vibe is warm with all the red coloring and wood throughout the restaurant. We ordered the Juicy Roulette (one of each of the various soup dumplings on the menu); the sticky rice with chicken and Chinese sausage; chicken shumai (fyi these are HUGE); the mini pan-fried pork soup dumplings; and the spicy chicken and shrimp wontons. Everything was tasty and you will absolutely leave full. We checked in on Yelp and got a complimentary order of the crispy scallion pancake. The staff were also kind enough to bring out a complimentary order of Bao Milk Buns for dessert and they were SO good (low-key my fave part of the whole meal). Our server was really lovely. Street parking only.

This is a delicious option for dim sum when in the city! I had the pleasure of coming for lunch and indulged in all the staples, like shrimp dumplings, soup dumplings, wontons, sticky rice in wrap, and more. Service was efficient, the interior is nicely decorated and aesthetically pleasing, and parking was readily available at the meters out front. Convenient and delicious. Prices are fair for the quality and portions. I ordered a few too many items out of sheer pigginess and ended up taking quite a few dishes home. Hey keep well enough, too, which is great. When the SGV is too much of a mission, this place is a great alternative to consider.

I had such a beautiful dining experience here, the decor and ambiance are so nice. The dim sum plates were very delicious & authentic. I love their honey walnut shrimp~ BTW, they have free valet service, so it's definitely a big plus for me in LA!!

The food was so good! I'm still thinking about it the next day. I especially loved the chow mein, juicy pork dumplings, and steamed pork buns. The mini pan fried pork dumplings were good too, had a lil spice. Juicy kbbq dumplings were okay. Street parking - got lucky and got an open meter right in front. Came on a Saturday night around 9:30pm and not many people were there so we were seated right away. All staff were kind and helpful. I was a bit cold inside while dining. Prices weren't too crazy, they were as expected for LA. Definitely coming back and I want to try the fried rice and chocolate dumplings next!

Food: 4/5 We ordered the scallion pancakes, juicy pork dumplings, har gow, and bbq pork buns. We also checked in and received free milk buns! The milk buns were so good and we would come back just to order these again. The perfect level of sweetness with a little bit of toasted sugar on top. We enjoyed all the other dishes too though! Everything tasted fresh and was steaming hot. A little pricy but definitely worth the price! Ambiance: 4/5 Nice restaurant with dark red interior. Nice utensils and a good bar too! Street parkings also not too bad. Service: 4/5 Friendly workers but food did take a little long. Not too bad though!

Discover the essence of Hong Kong's dim sum on the west side of Los Angeles. Experience the perfect blend of chic ambiance and old-world charm, ideal for family gatherings and romantic dates. They offer lunch specials Monday-Friday from 12PM-3PM! Happy Hour Monday-Friday from 4PM-7PM! And YES they have a FULL BAR. Order God of Fire (cocktail) * SO GOOD. Apparently, it is one of the popular cocktail items. Don't chug. It'll hit you without warning LOL. Crab and Cream Cheese Wontons 6pc * I should've known better and totally disregarded this item. I'm sorry, but these were something I couldn't like. In my personal opinion, the wontons needed to be stuffed with a little more filling and should fry it a little longer to have that slight burnt and crispiness to the outer shell. Hot N Sour Soup (small) * Taste is alright. Felt like it was missing something. Honey Walnut Shrimp * Delicious. You HAVE to order this when dining here. I thought the portion was perfect for one person (just in case you don't feel like sharing hehe). Crystal Shrimp Dumplings 4pc * Perfection. Just order please. Juicy Roulette 6pc * The name "Juicy Roulette" perfectly captures the element of surprise as you savor the burst of delectable soup enclosed within. These dumplings are a must-try, adding a playful and delicious twist to the traditional dim sum offerings at Bao Dim Sum House. Do I recommend this spot? YES. Would I come back? YES. And with more friends that way we can try more items from the menu.

My favorite dim sum restaurant! Boa dim sum is a restaurant located on Beverly blvd. While the area is busy, I've never had an issue finding parking along the surrounding streets. I bought a friend here who was visiting from another state and wanted to give her a taste of my favorite places. The restaurant is always busy since it's so popular but it's large and has so much space. It has a fun vibe to it in which the staff always adds to it since everyone I have met there are always so nice and pleasant. The menu is extensive and has so many options. My favorite thing to order every time I visit is the shrimp and crab dumplings and the garlic string beans. Everything comes out fresh and to perfection. I have ordered numerous items and have never been disappointed. I would highly recommend l!

If you didn't get dim sum this weekend, this is where you can go get dim sum all day, 7 days a week! This is where you can get all your favorite dim sum classics like shu mai, har gao, and more! We got a wide range of dumplings, noodles, and veggies for our dinner in West Hollywood. My favorite items were the shu mai, har siu gok, and beef chow fun. They had some dessert options too, so we opted to get the sesame balls with red bean inside which was the perfect way to end our meal with some jasmine tea. This is definitely a solid spot to get some dim sum throughout the week and it passes the vibe. There's a bunch of metered street parking around as well, and it's one of the only spots where you can get some dim sum dishes anytime of the day ! I will say it is a bit pricier than your average dim sum places, so you're essentially paying for WeHo prices!

I am so glad they reopened! It is just as good as it was before (if not a little better). Great food, cute ambiance and fantastic prices. The chicken potstickers and honey walnut shrimp are our favorites.

Bao is a very exceptional dim sum restaurant for being open majority of the day compared to other authentic dim sum locations in Los Angeles/Beverly Hills. Upon entering, the restaurant was packed with beautiful dark, red aesthetics. For a party of 3 or more, it is definitely recommended to make a reservation because the wait seems to be normally 30-45 minutes on a busy night. We (party of 2) had the pleasure to be seated right away at the bar with our very attentive bartender/server Luke. The food that we ordered were the shrimp har gow, garlic string beans, pork and shrimp shu mai, crab and pork dumplings, jasmine hot tea (not pictured) and steamed bbq pork buns (not pictured). If you guys check in to the restaurant, you get a free dessert with a minimum of $40 spent (easy mode when check in code applies). Would come back when we're in town :)

The food is so yummy and the service was great!! The ambiance is relaxing and friendly. The host was very friendly and helped us with our food order.

Let's talk a-BAO-t this hidden gem dim sum restaurant in West LA In a region of LA that has such a dearth of quality, authentic dim sum, I was pleasantly impressed with @baodimsumhouse and their extensive dim sum menu. Although the restaurant doesn't feature cart-style ordering, they still make all of their dim sum fresh in-house, with some of the most high quality, well-crafted and juicy fillings that I've tried. The restaurant also features family-style tables (that are perfect for family, group or company meals), a beautiful traditional Chinese architecture-inspired interior, and a full service bar. Definitely make sure to check them out if you're in the area and looking for your dim sum fix! Featured here: har gao xiao long bao juicy roulette pork and shrimp siu mai pan fried pork soup dumplings spicy chicken and shrimp wontons hot & sour soup crispy sesame balls lavender sky

Definitely one of my faves. Good for group of people or family lunch pr dinner. Amazing food & service.

I wish I could give a 3.5 star rating. Food was pretty good and fresh. On the other hand, the service is pretty disappointing. As I type this, there are only 5 tables with guests dining, at the very start of the dinner shift, and our waiter hasn't stopped by the table in about 25 minutes. Food also took long to cook and be brought out.

This place is a vibe! Watch their busy times because street parking is limited, especially in the residential areas. I dined in the middle of the afternoon, so it was pretty much empty. The interior is a lovely oriental design. Our server was really nice, We were looking for something light so we ordered shumai and mushroom dumplings. They were delicious and satisfied our tummies' needs.

It's not a secret that I love Dim Sum. Enjoyed it growing up. Enjoyed it in China/Hong Kong. Even enjoyed it it in West Hollywood. Yes, you read that right. West Hollywood. Not Chinatown or San Gabriel Valley, But right smack on Beverly Boulevard. Meaning, street parking. Valet is offered but depending on when you go, street parking might be available. Don't know how much Valet is. Question for you to ask. Walk in, and the vibe is somewhat Asian. Probably because of the colors maybe? But there's a full bar which is why a friend and I ended up here. Say it again - full bar. Don't know of any Dim Sum joints that offer up liquor. Service was good. Even when business picked up, staff was around and accessible. Not that we needed much nor had to ask. Not sure how to describe when service is good but it's busy so it's not quite white glove treatment. Which I wouldn't want anyway. Let me eat and drink in peace. Brings me to the food. Larger sizes that other places I've been to. Mostly the same taste but a little on the not so spicy side. Remember, I love spicy. But remedied by adding more Chili and or hot sauce. Prices aren't what you might be accustomed to if you go to other Dim Sum joints. If you do go here, don't complain. Just go to the other places. There could be a wait for your bar order. I've been here a few times and each time, drinks took a little while. Each time I've only seen one bartender serving the entire restaurant. Good things comes to those who wait. Though I waited, drinks were great.

It was a spur of the moment stop for me and my friends after a day at the Getty Villa. We were starving and all love dim sum, so I picked this place after finding it on Yelp. It was empty on a Saturday around 3pm, but don't let that fool you. The prices were a little steep for dim sum, but definitely cheaper than din tai fung for example. We ordered the beef chow fun which was perfectly cooked. I loved the noodle texture and how well it was seasoned. We also ordered the Korean beef dumplings, soup dumplings, and the spicy chicken and shrimp wontons. I'm not joking you when I say we finished everything. Yes, we were hungry, but everything tasted so good. The standouts were the Korean dumplings. I didn't expect them to taste like they did, but it was like bulgogi in a dumpling. I also really enjoyed the spicy wontons. That sweet, smokey, spicy flavor was very addicting. The service was also super quick, too. Definitely a stop to make when you're in LA and don't want to wait for DTF.

Place is OK. If you're really craving dim sum, I always say to try everything once, but there are better places nearby! Hot and Sour Soup: Only mildly hot and mildly sour. If you're looking for something to warm you up a tad and whet the appetite, this is a good soup. For my mouth, it's a bit bland. Salt and Pepper Calamari: Not well seasoned. Quite bland. As such, I think the oiliness of the dish overpowered the taste of calamari or the salt and pepper. More seasoning, or dipping sauces (?) may have been beneficial to help cut through the oil and provide more complexity to this dish. Wouldn't recommend. Juicy Crab and Shrimp Dumpling (XLB): For a similar tasting experience, you can get the Trader Joe's xiao long bao for a cheaper price. There is a relative lack of juice in the dumplings, they don't taste particularly fresh or well-made. Skin on these is quite thick, which diminishes the tasting experience. I enjoyed the strong ginger flavor in the filling, but I would've preferred a more traditional side of ginger and chinkiang black vinegar. Pan fried pork XLB: Initially, I had thought that this was "sheng jian bao" or shanghai pan fried pork buns, but I saw pics of this on yelp and wanted to try it. I'm not sure why you'd pan fry XLBs, that would make them less juicy and less tender. The skin on these is quite thick, which can be perceived as even thicker by the crunchiness of the bottom. We were seated at the bar, which is open seating, but the bartender was really busy and so we weren't attended to very well. The group next to us also had a lot of difficulty getting the bartender's attention. She was INCREDIBLY NICE though, and the busy-ness was not her fault. Ambiance is wonderful, loved the chinese decor.

Where to start?! Delicious, exquisite, excellent service, great recommendations, what a wonderful treat and experience for our family. First time we came here and walked away very impressed and full! The ambiance was quiet as it was early and ahead of their evening rush. For a family, it was probably the best time to be here as the service was second to none. We will be back and loved the menu's fusion of traditional Chinese with some American flare.

Another one bites the dust:( Bao permanently shut its doors today, another victim of the pandemic.

Pricey but delicious, and I guess that's how it works in Beverly Grove of LA. We were able to make a reservation really easily online and then when we checked in, were promptly seated at the table by the window. The interior looked like a pan Asian upscale restaurant with lanterns and little pony wall dividers between tables for some bit of privacy. Check out the little sheet with lunch special pricing for select items. There were a few standouts: ha gao, shu mai, pork spare ribs in black bean sauce, and steamed BBQ pork buns were fantastic. The ha gao and shu mai were some of the largest and juiciest I've had. The pork spare ribs came with a generous serving and fell off the little bones right away. We split a BBQ pork bun there which was piping hot and sweet and saved the other two for later - still tasted amazing hours later. Some of the not so great items were the pan fried turnip cakes, which were not pan fried enough to have a good crisp on the outside, and the pan fried spicy xiao long bao, which was too heavy handed in the spice and made it difficult to eat.

Enjoyed dim sum lunch specials. Especially liked the juicy pork dumplings and pork shrimp shumai. The chicken pot stickers were unusually large but scrumptious! And loved the crispy garlic beans; cooked perfectly! Good service and quiet atmosphere. Street parking nearby.

After the Pride Parade in We.Ho., I was in the mood for some Dim Sum. I had been to this place before (although I did not review it) but I had positive memories of the joint so I was guided here by a distant memory that I associated with a good time. I am sure you understand. We often go to what we know, even though we might not really remember the good time that well. But sometimes a faint memory is enough to light the path we wish to take. My mom and I went to this place. The place seemed occupied but not so much that I would describe the place as busy to the brim. Yet, my mom and me still had to wait. We did not wait that long. They escorted my mom to table near the kitchen. I did not even sit down before I requested a new table--- the odor of the ammonia that instantly greeted us was too strong, I knew I would not enjoy my meal. They ushered us back to the waiting area. Soon after they sat us at a table for five or six. I am not going to lie the proceeding wait was too long for my comfort. No one greeted us. No one brought us water. My eyes searched for support. I am frgagile when I eat, if I am not attended to us soon as I sit down, I become annoyed. And my boiling tea pot cannot be simmered down easily. But Dave did. I hope I got his name right, cause I truly want his flowers to be delivered to him. He read male, Asian, his hair was in an up-ward bun. It was not puffy, or messy, the bun was thin and up. I think that is enough for the joint to identify the server if I got his name wrong--- for he was kind and understanding as assuaged my annoyance effectively and swiftly. I informed Dave, as soon as he greeted us that we were waiting for awhile to the point that I felt "forgotten." He apologized authenthically, and explained that the place was somewhat busy. The sincerity in his voice was pure. We ordered a lot. Then after we had placed the order he apologized again. Again, it was sincere and effective. One of the itmes that we ordered was Pork Belly Bun. He brought them soon after because they were ready to be served, and I am sure to atone for the wait to be seen. He deserves praise for doing his job right and with spiriit. The food at this place is strong. There was some stuff that was similar, like walnut shrimp that done right. And some bomb! Xiao Long Bao. I used my chopsticks to puncture holes in the Bao so the sopui inside cools. I cannot wait. I eat one. It is hot. I use my diet coke to smallen the scorch. What joy it is to eat XIao Long Bao-- and this place delivers what you need to experience the joy of eating Bao. The egg rolls were nicely crisped, they were full of chicken and only chicken. That was a unique twist. Chicken egg rolls with only chicken- no cabbsge no carrots. If you want to do Dim Sum and Chinese food in We.Ho. this place is a must try---- it defintely holds its own. It might not have a massive following, it might not have bells and whistles, but it is a solid place that deserves patronage cause they are a place that helps you enjoys the flavors of Asia in an LA way.

I made a reservation in advance for dinner on a Friday night, but when we got there, the place was pretty empty. We probably could have just walked in and gotten a table easily. They have complimentary valet parking, but street parking wasn't so bad. For three of us, we ordered ten different plates and still had leftovers. The food was very good and the service was great. We got there in time for happy hour so some of our dishes were discounted. Our top favorites were the scallion pancakes and green beans. We did not like the vegetable bao. We plan to eat here again.

This location is CLOSED. I'm so sad, I have been bringing my dad to this restaurant for years. It was a tradition we had and I am truly sad that it closed. God bless the owners and workers of this amazing restaurant.

Lunch in Beverly Grove, Los Angeles, California... National Bao Day was on 8-22-23... Everything was meant to be... Meeting my Yelp friend, Mikey, in real life just worked out perfectly! Mikey made reservations for noon on the Tuesday before I left to go back home to Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. It was 8-22-23 at Bao Dim Sum House... how appropriate! The free dessert with check-in on the Yelp app was between a choice of two items. We had the Custard BAO! Niki S. and I found metered street parking right in front of the restaurant. We walked into the dimly lit, elegantly decorated restaurant where Mikey and his wife, Kayleen, were already seated. Our mutual friend, Te-See, arrived shortly after. Fernando was our competent and helpful server. He gave excellent recommendations. We ended up ordering the Pork and Shrimp Shumai, Crispy Cucumber Salad, Crystal Shrimp dumplings, Sautéed green beans with Garlic, Honey Walnut Shrimp, and Bao's Chicken wings. Delicious!!! Our free dessert for checking in on our Yelp app was a plate of three custard bao. Fernando cut them all in half so everyone could taste the not-too-sweet treats! Yum! We enjoyed entertaining conversation, excellent food, and great service in a beautiful atmosphere. We're looking forward to returning! Thanks for setting up this meeting, Mikey! See you again soon! Thank you for the personalized chocolate with macadamia nuts!

The food was really good and flavorful. The service was excellent, waiter checked on us often, made us feel welcomed. They placed us near a private corner so we were able to enjoy our conversation without loud music or other customers. It's a little dim in regards to lighting in the corner so seeing the menu was a little difficult. Over all I recommend this place. We drove 2hours from San Diego to eat here.

Do you "dim sum?" Cause I am not a huge dim sum fan...However, when someone you adore is in town and another person you adore invites you to join them...ya don't say "NO!" It's just proper "yelp" etiquette:) But seriously, great place. Never been here and everything we ordered was very good. Our server Fernando, and yes, Abba is singing in my head as it is in yours, don't lie....was fabulous. His menu suggestions were spot on! Today we had: The cucumber salad 2 Crystal Shrimp Dumplings 2 Honey Crispy Shrimp Green beans with garlic Pork Dumplings The inside is spacious. Great for groups. The bar is closer to the entrance and separated from main dining area. *Food came quickly. Prices here are not cheap. We shared everything so our lunch the bill was $20 per person including tax & tip. Not bad! *Check in and get a 1 free dessert for the table. *Here's a tip for free: cash is long here. You will get a discount when you pay with cash! *Street parking only. Metered available in front on the side street and 2 hour free parking in the residential area. Please Read The Signs! Avoid a ticket/tow.

This is a place where you can enjoy great dim sum in a quiet atmosphere with friends.

Great spot for happy hour. Lots of options and good customer service. I've dined here frequently and the service is consistent. The crabmeat fried rice is one of my favorite dishes. Also, the milk buns for dessert.

My favorite part about their dishes are MADE-TO-ORDER and everything taste so delicious. Even though the food might take a while to come but it's such high quality and taste so good, I am so happy to wait for my food. I had the best sesame ball of my life, freshly made, so crispy, creamy and filled with read bean paste inside. It's amazing! I also love their chicken feet. Yes, I am a big fan of chicken feet, and this is the best one in LA, big portion, flavorful and taste fresh. love it! The other dishes like chasu is nice portion and delicious as well. Street parking (pay with coins), interior is nicely decorated with red umbrella around. There's a spacious area with a bar and private rooms for reservations. Don't forget to check in with yelp, for a free dessert.

Came here for my pop's 71st birthday and the food was amazing. The Bok Choy with Garlic was truly the best Bok Choy I've ever had and even my parents said the same thing simultaneously. The restaurant is clean and has a nice cozy feel. Service was good! Waiter was attentive to us and checked in when we needed. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend coming here! Price is to be what is expected for LA food, but super yummy!

Everything was great ! Service and food! Can't wait to return! My daughter always loves spinning the middle of the table.

Pork shrimp shu mai Shrimp eggplant Crystal shrimp hargow Pork spare ribs Your welcome

We have been there several times and it's always great. I love the soothing dark wood interior. Great service. We like all the food choices.

The 3 stars are for the food. This is what we ordered and our rating: Crispy Seafood House noodles subbed with chicken (4/5) , spicy chicken pan fried dumplings (4/5), cucumber salad (3.5/5), green beans (3/5), chicken shumai (2/5) , kbbq dumpling (2.5/5) . Came in around 3 pm Sunday September 8th, service started off well in the beginning. When it came around to our bill, the waitress with dark brown curly hair made a mistake and charged us for another table's meal and then charged us for our own table on top of that. We understand mistakes can happen however initially she took no accountability for her mistake until we were visibly upset. We expressed our dismay and no one did anything to compensate us in anyway or form. The food overall was good just very disappointed with how the service was handled. Just wished she was more professional or someone took responsibility for that mistake.

Great food but okay everything else. Location: The restaurant itself is pretty busy. I would make reservations on Yelp before showing up. There also is limited meter parking around the restaurant. Food: The dim sum is pretty good here. We ordered a variety of items and all of them were good. This was one of the first dim sum places I went to that was not cart style, which is nice, because all of the dim sum comes out around the same time. The portions are pretty big, so you can get full pretty quickly. I think that because all the food is made to order, it makes it higher quality. Service: The service here is just okay. The servers are always running around, for good reason, just because the restaurant is usually always at max capacity. It might take a while for you to flag someone down that can help you, but it's understandable. Overall, I would recommend this place purely based on the food.

We were craving dim sum as a snack and decided to try this place. WARNING: the shumai are BIG We had the chow fun and the pork and shrimp shumai. Placed the warning there just in case you thought it would be typical dim sum size. They are not, however, they were pretty delicious! They were super juicy and moist. There is definitely less shrimp flavor than I would have liked, but it was still good either way. For the chow fun, it was nothing special. It tasted average with exactly how you would expect, but for the price, I expected a bit more flavorful. This one required a lot of hot sauce for me. Good experience as the ambience is very different from typical dim sum place as it was very quiet lol

Had a fantastic time celebrating Chinese New Year at Bao. The restaurant wasn't busy, so we were seated right away. The service was attentive and quick, good ambiance and the food, especially the Shrimp Shumai, fried rice, and soup, was delicious. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area.

It was our first time and it won't be our last!! Wonderful dinner before catching a show. Parking was a breeze on the street. Meter parking right out front (15 mins for a quarter) or free residential parking close by. No parking lot. Showed up during happy hour, it won't save you a lot, but it will save you some! Nice ambiance inside, fantastic service from a very nice gentleman named Luke and everything we ate was wonderful. The wontons in the shrimp wonton soup were delicious! The crispy crab and shrimp balls are great!! The chicken egg rolls were solid as well. That juicy roulette is a flavorful little treat and free ice cream on your birthday??...do I need to say anymore?!! Only, that the pineapple coconut ice cream was ridiculous!!

Wow! Wow! Wow! This restaurant is always so darn good. Lunch, dinner and happy hour are all scrumptious. I am a creature of habit when it comes to the Garlic Green Beans.

Good, interesting Asian fusion. Juicy dumplings, chow menu, garlic green beans. Mojitos. So glad they re-opened!
