   We've been here before but I'll say our last experience was not the best. First, I know they have some GF options but the menu had barely any. As we spoke to the server we found out that other dishes could be GF with some slight modifications, would be nice if the menu included GFO (Gluten Free Option). Also, our server was not great. Seemed like he didn't really know the menu and his recommendations had no information to help make a choice, just answers like "both are good". Plus he said the soup was a favorite dish but when we went to order we learned it was not available that night. And lastly, everything was a bit expensive. Felt like some dishes were overpriced. They have a all you can eat dumpling offering but being GF it wasn't an option so it would be great if they could do some GF dumplings or update the menu to have more reasonably priced options.

   Peeking duck was bland, fried rice was doused in sauce we couldn’t even eat it. The soft sell crab was so tiny for the price. Dumplings were good. Everything is overpriced, staff was rude. Very disappointing

   The food and atmosphere was excellent. The manager came by to check on our experience and told us about future additions coming soon. My only suggestion is incorporating more noodle dishes for the tea room.

   Food delivered to quickly. Just started on appetizer and dinner was brought out. Ordered the Peking duck. It must have been cooked a week before I ordered. Dry, almost no flavor. My last two experiences at this restaurant have been downhill from earlier dining there. Must have lost their chef. Won’t likely be back. Expensive for what they are serving now. Music upstairs was also so loud we couldn’t have a conversation at all.

    This was a super fun place to have a dim sum dinner with friends! The portions were a little small for the price, but overall the experience was amazing. Our sever was fantastic and really made the experience even better. My biggest complaint is that the "soup" dumplings did not have nearly enough soup in them. I wouldn't even have called them soup dumplings. The filling was delicious, don't get me wrong, but they were not soup dumplings.
    

    Bao BrewhouseResponded 5 days agoIt's great to know you enjoyed the overall experience and your server provided fantastic service, enhancing your time with us! We understand the importance of having ample soup in dumplings labeled "soup dumplings," and we're sorry they didn't live up to that standard. We appreciate your feedback on the delicious filling and will review our preparation techniques to ensure a more authentic and satisfying soup dumpling experience in the future. We truly appreciate your support!

    Second time here because we loved it so much the first time, but not sure I’ll go again. Made a reservation in advance for our party of 6 and upon arrival were led to a high top table. When I asked if we could be seated at one of the empty booths at the back, I was told they were all reserved. I had booked with the intention of this better seating arrangement and explained that, but was still told no, even though nearly all of the booths remained open the entirety of our stay. This waiter continued to be aloof and rude throughout the service and his random absences lengthened our meal considerably. The food was great, at least.
    

    Bao BrewhouseResponded 5 days agoWe apologize for the inconvenience you faced regarding the seating arrangements and the lack of attentive service from your waiter. Reservations with 8-10 guests receive first priority of the booths because those are the only tables we can fit them. I am more than happy to personally make a reservation for you to ensure you will receive the smaller booth. We want to provide a memorable experience for you and your friends; please contact me directly at manager@baobrewhouse. Thank you!

    Food was nicely presented, not very flavorful. Online ordering was non intuitive for us. Not bad, but lacked that special repartee we enjoy with a good server.

    Very cool atmosphere. Thankfully they had more formal dinner tables upstairs. Servers present like they are attentive, but not really. Struggling the entire time to make room for dishes, they just set the dish down and walk away. A few dishes came out dirty asked for replacents and they never came back. As far as the food goes, some unique dishes but overall sub par asian fusion. Came away with overpriced Pei Wei fibes.

We appreciate you bringing your tables cleanliness to our attention and will take immediate steps to rectify this issue as this does not align with the type of service we strive to provide. We understand the importance of delivering unique and delicious dishes and will use your comments to improve the overall dining experience.

    It was great! But ordering through the QR code made things a little harder and more impersonal
    

    Bao BrewhouseResponded 5 days agoThis self-service approach allows you to browse the menu at your own pace, explore various dishes, and place your order conveniently from your table. It puts guests in control over their dining experience, enabling them to come and go at their leisure and giving the freedom to enjoy your time with us on your own terms. We understand this type of service isn't for everyone therefore, we highly recommend our Tea Room, which provides full service with a unique and immersive atmosphere!

    Overall, BaoBrewhouse was a good experience. A couple of glitches. We specifically made reservations for the Tea Room because it was advertised as quieter than the main floor. It was not and the explanation was that they have DJs on certain nights. Kind of disappointing. I like having unshouted conversations with my dining companions. As for food, the dumplings and short rib noodles were delicious and well worth the visit. Unfortunately, the octopus, while having good flavors, was tough and rubbery and pretty much ruined my enjoyment of the dish. Fix those couple items and it would have been 5 stars. The service, on the other hand, was fantastic, accommodating, and friendly. Noelle was taking care of us and I felt very welcomed and treated like a valuable customer. High marks for Noelle.
    

    Bao BrewhouseResponded 5 days agoWe apologize for the miscommunication. For future please note we have DJs Thursday-Saturday. We appreciate your feedback regarding the octopus and will make sure the kitchen is notified as we are always striving to improve. Thank you for your kind words about Noelle, we value her and it makes us happy to hear guests do as well!

    The food really depended on what you ordered. The snapper and spicy duck soup were really good. The beef fried rice and the soup dumplings were not good. The dumplings undercooked. I would probably come again to try other dishes since the good ones were really good.

    Stopped by Bao after a comedy show in Denver for a late dinner. Got a reservation (highly recommended, the couple in front of us had a 2+ hour wait without one) up in their Tea Room, which is a more intimate sit-down experience than the casual vibe downstairs. The ambience in the Tea Room was great, but damn was it loud. My wife and I were struggling to hear each other over the music throughout dinner, and I have no idea how a larger party could talk at all. Food was all fantastic, and prices were reasonable for a restaurant of this quality in Downtown Denver. Our server was very friendly if a little awkward, though maybe he just couldn’t hear us over the music 😂 overall definitely would recommend checking this place out!
    

    Bao BrewhouseResponded on May 8, 2023We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed our food and atmosphere in the Tea Room!

    Our server was terrific. She provided great suggestions and descriptions of the menu items. She also explained to us that there was a private party that was contributing to the excessive noise level. She asked the DJ to turn it down a bit and it made our experience much better. Food was great - would definitely recommend the small plates over the entries - just more interesting and fun - entries were tasty just too much of a single thing.

    The food was great. The music was WAY too loud. I'm all for some energetic music during dinner. But we couldn't hear the waitress talking to us, she couldn't hear us ordering, and we couldn't talk to anyone at our table more than one person away. This isn't a club. There are no people dancing. I might be showing my age... but there is just no reason to have the music that loud where people are trying to eat dinner! Good for the food! It is delicious. Maybe just go with someone that you don't really like talking to anyway.

    Bao brew house was a fun setting but fell short when it came to delivering on authentic Chinese food. Short rib noodles were lacking in noodles, overdressed, and needed a steak knife. The beautiful red tobiko on the shumai was fishy and not fresh and the fried shumai were compact and chewy, not pillowy like shumai are supposed to be. Bao buns with Peking duck were nice but duck was presented similar to short ribs needing a steak knife to manage. Not a craveable place to return to imo.

    Music was too loud. The only one vibing was the DJ. Halthway through our meal we couldn't have a decent conversation over the music even though we are both in our 20s with good hearing. I got tired shouting at my friend. Food was over priced. Soup dumplings tased fine but ripped apart before you could take a bite (No longer soup dumplings). Portions were small and over priced. Rushed us to leave.

I love that there’s always a DJ my only request would be that the vegetable sides came in a smaller size, so two people could enjoy more than one.

    I thought the food was excellent, although bit pricey. The noise level is terrible: way too loud.
