    I love Bao brewhouse. The host was a bit rude, but everything else was amazing. The food never disappoints and our actual waiter was very kind.

    Overall it was pretty good, I did think the all you can eat was a bit misleading since you could only get 2 flavors and apparently before it was only one type. The food was pretty good, service was a bit slow.

    Too loud and too dark! While the food was good, wow the overall experience was for someone MUCH younger. So sad

    We had to sit in the tea room because downstairs doesn't accept reservations. I've been to Bao before and have enjoyed it. It took 30 minutes from the time the we sat until we got our first drink. Told our waiter that we were tight on time because we had a show to make and then every time we needed him he was flirting with 2 girls at a different table. The food upstairs is insanely expensive and not worth it. $22 for 5 bao is criminal. The fried rice was greasy and uninspired. Just food made with no heart. Also, stop having DJ's play in you restaurant. It was 6:30 pm...why am I having to scream at my table so my friends can hear me? An unpleasant experience from start to finish.

    AMAZING EXPERIENCE! Booked a table of 8 to celebrate my engagement with my family. We got a curved booth on the upper level which was cozy and perfect to be able to see/ talk with the whole group. Our server Matthew did a phenomenal job!!!! We decided let him curate our family style experience and every dish that came out was 100/10. Nothing disappointed. They also brought out a champagne tree with bubbles as a celebratory toast. Highly highly recommend!!

    Wow, thank you for such an incredible review! We're honored you chose to celebrate your engagement with us and are so happy to hear the evening was everything you hoped for. Matthew will be thrilled to hear your kind words, we agree, he’s amazing! From the cozy booth to the champagne toast, we loved being part of your special moment. Wishing you all the best in this exciting new chapter, and we can't wait to celebrate with you again soon!

    We dined in the Tea Room (upstairs) staff was extremely welcoming and friendly. Nick, our waiter, was extremely polite and his suggestions were great. The ambiance was very pleasant and the food was quite delicious.
