An Epicurean Delight! One idle evening, I did summon the glories of Bao'd Up to my doorstep via DoorDash, and lo! What a feast awaited me. The lavender boba, an ambrosial nectar fit for the gods, paired perfectly with the most divine chicken sandwiches--crispy, tender, and wholly transcendent. Reclined upon my couch, I dined as though I were royalty. Yet, my indulgence knows not the bounds of my living room, for on many occasions I do gather my dearest companions and venture to Bao'd Up itself. There, amidst lively chatter and much rejoicing, we partake in culinary splendor. Truly, Bao'd Up is a treasure--partake boldly and often!

My family wanted to go to Doc's Backyard next door, but I was more interested in the Bao store. The seating area only has a few tables, but the to go ordering is very easy with a tablet. I got the 6 bao special (2 juicy pork, 2 chicken, 2 brisket), 2 pork buns with a milk tea and the pork noodles. My favorite was the spicy brisket baos. I thought the other two could have used some vegetables inside to make it more traditional rather than only meat. Both buns were tasty and the milk teas was average. The noodles were great and very soft and had lots of meat. It was a very affordable meal and the cashier's keep your drink in their fridge until you're ready to pick it up. I would go back if I was craving more Baos!

The food was definitely of excellent quality; however there is a concern that they were struggling with logistics at the last 45 minutes of their day. I believe they had both a large order come in late, and technical issues with their ordering system. If this was an unusual circumstance and they resolved the technical issues, there's no reason to expect their day-to-day experience would be anything other than great.

Ordering was simple, they have iPad at the front for you to use. And I'll come out and call your name when it's ready. I got a delicious brisket, Bao bun and a bubble tea. I went for the original flavor, although I was a little bit unsure what that meant... But I am pretty sure original means plain Jasmine tea. this place is on the corner of the shopping plaza and there's plenty of parking, seating even outdoor seating. they are definitely a bit understaffed at the moment, as many places are. But they did a great job getting the order out fast and correctly.

Every time I've been to a Bao'd up I've left happy and here was no exception! This has to be the cutest one I've seen so far however! Everything was so clean and the food was delicious as always! The Szechuan fries were so good as always, they were nice and hot and the sauce was so good. Absolutely worth stopping by again when I'm out here

Bao'd Up offers a selection of savory and sweet treats at a great price. I was so happy to visit this place for the first time as it was well worth the drive. In spite of the constant line of people, I didn't feel the wait time was too long. I ordered the pork belly tacos, pork buns, egg cream buns, milk tea, bao fries, and schezwan fries. The buns were fluffy, flavors, and served piping hot. 10/10 The Asian tacos were complex, with a dark sauce (maybe hoisin) to drizzle on top of it. The pickled veggies were fresh and crunchy. The meat was also fork tender and cooked perfectly. The egg cream buns were my favorite...omg. The buns come in a pretty pink color. The filling reminds me of a thick custard. The bao fries were soooo unique. It was almost like a fried sweet bread cut into fries, drizzled in a sweet syrup and boba pearls. These were so delightful. I've never had a snack like this before. The schezwan fries were also served piping hot and have a slight kick to them. I'm not sure what spice blend was used but there may have been some Chinese five spice in there. Lastly, the milk tea. I got the classic assam black milk tea lightly sweetened. It was made perfectly. I could actually taste the tea and has a good balance between the sweetness and flavor of the tea. The boba was also made well, not being hard in the center. It was chewy throughout. I definitely want to come back to try the ramen. Highly recommended!

1/3/24 I forgot to post this the other day but still wanted to update my review. It's been awhile since I've been here but I told my friend about it so we met here for lunch. The interior is still the same. It's clean and bright. They even had a cute Xmas tree in the entry way. The biggest difference was the menu and the ordering process. The menu on the board is different than last time. You can reference the past pics if you are really interested. You order from a little kiosk which was easy to do. Don't get tricked, like I was, when you see the limited menu on the board. There are many other options once you start ordering. I got two buns and a side. I got the fries. I should have gotten the salad as a side. I'm trying to make better food choices in '24. That being said, I only ate a few of them! I was good. I got the fried tofu bun (chicken is also an option) and bbq bun. You order from the kiosk but they bring it to your table. That's nice! My friend ordered a lo mein dish. She devoured it! I still like the place and will be back more often! :)
