The food was so delicious, very flavorful and very fresh! We started with the seaweed egg drop soup. The seaweed gave the soup and very earthy flavor. We enjoyed the pork soup buns. It was a perfect burst of flavor in your mouth as you bit into it. The dough is definitely freshly made. We also enjoyed the hand pulled noodles. Great flavor with the chili and bok choy combo. Service was great and the restaurant is very clean. Can't wait to come back and enjoy other things from the menu! read more

Tried the xiao long bao, chicken fried rice and the hand pulled noodles. I felt the XLB was okay, felt like there wasn't a ton of soup but overall still solid. Chicken fried rice was standard, but I really enjoyed the hand noodles a lot! The texture was really nice and the the noodles really soaked the flavors of the chili oil based sauce, and I would come back for those. read more

First time here, and overall, it was great! I tried a variety of things, and almost everything tasted amazing. The beef rolls just weren't my thing--the flavor didn't really appeal to me. However, the Taiwan beef soup was delicious, and the beef was so tender! The chicken fried dumplings were also amazing, and OMG, their rice was honestly some of the best rice I've ever had. They do use quite a bit of oil, which is something to keep in mind. The inside was nice, but it was really cold, so I definitely recommend bringing a jacket. The service was great too! They were patient, answered all our questions, checked on us throughout the meal, and made sure we were okay. Overall, I had a great experience and would recommend it! read more

Food is ok, but the pictures don't match the order and if you ask they will say they know. Service is not fabulous. I don't have super high expectations for a mom and pop Chinese restaurant but I won't be back unfortunately. read more

The food was ok! I went there for their lunch special, which includes a spring roll and choice of fried rice or steam rice with the lunch entrees! I ordered the Lo mein with Shrimp, omg, I counted only 4 shrimps and they're the size of a small cashew! On the other hand, my husband ordered the sesame chicken and he picked the fried rice! This dish was pretty big! So not bad! Service was fast, I only waited 10 mins for my food! read more

Better than fast food because of the style of food. Average dumplings and lunch specials. Pricey for what it was. Counter service was pleasant. Dining room was clean and trendy. It wouldn't be my first choice with all the others in the neighborhood because of the price point. read more

Update: July 24, 2025 We ordered sautéed green beans and yang chow fried rice. They're delicious. We came for late lunch, not a lot of diners around. Service is ok and ambiance is the same nothing change. I was wondering why they ask for tips, since we order at the counter and we clean our table? read more

This restaurant has very quick service. It wasn't busy at all around the time we arrived which was 1-2, and they were able to accommodate our large party. It's not too big of a restaurant but has enough room. Overall, the food was okay, and some dishes were better than others. However, nothing really stood out except the salt and pepper shrimp, which was beautifully flavored and had a nice crispish texture. The scallion pancake was also crispy and had the perfect texture, but the optimal taste was when it was paired with a sauce. The other dishes weren't too flavorful and the popcorn chicken tasted a bit stale and not as crunchy as it looked, but the speedy service made up for it. read more

Got dinner here after another event. You order at a counter and they bring you the food. I got the soup dumplings and a pork bun. It was somehow too much food for me so I had the pork bun as leftovers the next day and it was still good which was nice as you never know with reheated food. The soup dumplings were good as well but not the best I've had. They were cooked well but the overall flavor was lucky and the soup brith seemed almost a little fatty. But I would give them another try for sure if I was in the area read more

Every employee we encountered was extremely kind and helpful. We ordered the Shrimp Dumplings, Scallion Pancake, Hand Pulled Noodle, Stir Fried String Beans, Jalapeño Chicken dish. Everything was spectacular, the portions were amazing as well (made for the best left overs)! My babe loves his food extremely spicy and was very pleased that they added extra spice to his chicken dish. We will definitely be back sooner rather than later read more

My husband and I came to try this place. You order first then sit at a table (we got the last one ... LUCKY) We started with the chicken pan fried dumplings and these were amazing I wish we had got another order. We then got chicken fried rice (no veggies) orange chicken and Seasame chicken. These were good but they tasted almost the exact same. They lack beef entrees on their chef specials. Things came out one by one family style we got the entrees first (kind of weird) I would definitely eat here again and be willing to try some other things read more

Order at the counter when you're ready and they'll bring the food to you. Surprisingly, given all we ordered, the food came out super quickly! There's actually soooo much soup in the xlb, more than I can say for other places I've had and the broth is easily one of my favorites! If you want legit, flavorful soup dumplings, come here. The hand pulled noodles were chewy, but not as seasoned as I'd liked. There's also only like 2 pieces of bok choy wish there was a little more. Popcorn chicken, green beans, and cucumbers were all solid and perfect side dishes. We also got pan fried dumplings which were okay. They weren't crispy as you'd want, barely fried. The scallion pancake we ordered was very flaky and almost too crispy? For sure did NOT have enough scallion. 100% will come back for the xlb though. Can't wait for them to open the Carrollton location so it's closer read more

DFW's Asian food scene never ceases to amaze me everytime I visit. 88's menu had variety for the whole family, with one of the fastest turnarounds for ordering we've seen in a long time.

Came here with the wifey for a lunch date, and this place did not disappoint. Atmosphere/Ambiance - 5/5 - Busy and full of Asian diners. What does that mean? That means it's authentic and legit. Staff - 5/5 - Friendly. Food came out FAST. Food/Drink - Ordered the following: Pork XiaoLongBao - 4.5/5 - Dumplings were great, but wish there was more soup in them. Pork Bun - 4/5 - I just love these and get these every time. Nothing super great, but tasty nonetheless. Marinated Pig Ears - 5/5 - I can just eat this with rice all day. Wood Ear Mushrooms - 4/5 - Not much flavor, but wifey wanted them. Taiwan Beef Noodle Soup - 5/5 - This is a MUST GET. EVERY TIME. Hand Pull Noodles - 3.5/5 - Little too oily for my taste. Overall, this was a great lunch, and will definitely be back to try other items. Get the TW Beef Noodle Soup. read more

Best spicy beef noodle soup (Taiwanese style) that I've had in Dallas! Pig ears had a good crunch and spicy kick Soup dumplings were a hit String beans were the star of the show, would absolutely return for these and beef soup Popcorn chicken had a nice crunch but would not get again. It was very salty and one dimensional in flavor. Nice, modern decor and clean. Love being able to see the big open window of the staff cooking and making soup dumplings. The staff was friendly. You order upfront and then sit down. Water and drinks are self served. Don't forget to tip! read more

Best Asian food I've ever had in DFW area amazing customer service! The restaurant itself is very clean, 10 out of 10 would recommend!!

That fried rice was so good! Pretty reasonably priced. Tasted fresh. Dumplings were made there in real time. Ding tai FENG like.

Everything was yummy! We got pork xiao long bao, scallion pancake, orange chicken, white rice, and stir fried string beans. All so good!

88 Baobao is a casual Chinese restaurant that serves a handful of dishes including noodles, dumplings, and other entrees. We heard good things about this place and came in with pretty high expectations. We were NOT disappointed, every dish we ordered was simple but so delicious. Not only that, the prices are reasonable for portions that are shareable between 3 people. We ordered like 8-9 things and it came out to be $80 (including tip)! Faves: Steamed shrimp dumplings, pork soup dumplings (these were so good!!!! The best I've had in Dallas so far, coming from California), garlic green beans. Honestly all were good but these are the ones that stood out the most. read more

I been waiting for this one! Picked up food before closing but ambiance is rather casual. Got their xia long bao which was nice but nothing special. Wished there was more soup though. Their chili oil wontons were fantastic and some of the best I've had- wrapping was so soft and filling was mind blowing. Next their hand pulled noodles were such a gem- spicy, salty all in once around springy noodles. Definitely really oily though so something to split for sure. For mains we got their lo mein and sesame chicken- both pretty decent but nothing special. Overall really hard to pick a favorite and I'm glad I can check this off my list :) read more

I like the way you order/write if on the menu. Limited tables but quick service! Noodles were good and the beef rolls were our favorite. The soup dumplings were very disappointing. Tasted like they used canned crab meat; very fishy smell and taste and the meat ball was dry somehow. We got the fried dough with condense milk, it was tasty but it's dense and very heavy so we couldn't finish them. read more

Pretty cool and chill dumpling place up in Frisco. We got dinner here and it was pretty good. I thought maybe the dumplings could use more filling, especially the pork boa bun.

I had a delivery order. Don't get the Kung pao chicken! It wasn't grilled chicken. It was cut up little nuggets of fries and/or breaded and friend chicken. I've never had it this way. Tons of carrots and zucchini too which is also not normal for this dish. I decided to try it because I was starving and there was zero flavor. Just bland. Luckily, I also ordered the string beans and they were amazing as well as the good old steamed rice. Just perplexed on how they can screw up a Chinese staple dish. read more

My friend introduced me to this place as her go-to spot when she's in town. I enjoyed it, and it's great for family-style meals (sharing with others). We ordered the Beef Rolls, Popcorn Chicken, and Pork XiaoLongBao AKA Soup Dumpling. I liked the beef rolls the most, as it was crispy on the outside and juicy + flavorful on the inside. The popcorn chicken was alright; it wasn't as flavorful, and its portion was slightly deceiving due to the large plate it was served on that was a third empty. The soup dumplings were standard. There isn't much of a service component to the restaurant. You order at the counter, and someone will bring your food to your table when it's ready. There's a station in the corner to get your water, napkins, utensils, etc. The price for what you're getting is pretty good, and we left feeling satisfied from our food. They mostly have comfort food here; I would recommend stopping by if you're in the area, but it's probably not worth a long drive just to try it. read more

Met up with some friends to catch up at 88 Bao Bao in Frisco. This is a dumpling chain with locations in California. You order at the front first and then choose your table. They have a self serve water station available. We got pork soup dumplings, wontons with chili oil, beef roll pancakes, and stir fried string beans. Each table has a set of soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil to create your sauce for the dumplings. The soup dumplings had plenty of juice and were pretty solid. The wontons with chili oil were pretty big but not that spicy. The beef rolls were reallly big and had a ton of beef and a refreshing taste from the veggies. The stir fried string beans were packed with garlic flavor and were cooked perfectly. Overall a pretty solid, but out of the way place for some dumplings read more

The string beans and the pork xiao long baos were on point! The XLBs were hot (temperature wise) for a long time. (Compared to Din Tai Fung) The beef roll was unique and pretty good! The beef noodle soup was okay. And the potstickers were disappointing since the bottom wasn't as crispy as it should be. The food came out promptly! I would definitely return for more XLBs! read more

Return or not return? Don't know, but food not compelling enough for me to return. As usual, I hope they succeed. Why does Chinese food contso awful in the DFW area? It's that bad and I've eaten at most restaurants. Not much different here. Seems to be a chain, and prices reasonable with the seemingly global inflation in Chinese restaurants. Food is another story. Can one make fried rice much worse than this? Who in their right mind puts chunks of fried dark meat chicken in fried rice? Xiao Long Bao, not close to the Din Tai Fung gold standard, but it's edible. Salt & Pepper Shrimp, generous portion for the price. But where did that flavoring come from? Never in a Chinese restaurant have I had this flavor. Just kind of meh. Sesame Chicken, best dish of the lot, but not so compelling to bring me back. Scallion pancake, meh... read more

We ordered takeout here on a Sunday and absolutely loved it! The restaurant was packed, so I'm glad I ordered online. The food was ready right on time too when I arrived. This place has a huge menu, so I plan to come back and try a lot more. We spent close to $100 including tip, which sounds like a lot for 5 people. However, with the portions it was at least 8-10 servings of food. Really excellent value!! Dumplings of course are always best when eaten fresh at the restaurant, but these traveled really well. I also really loved the unique flavor of the veggie dumplings. I think they might have had seaweed? Usually I avoid veggie dumplings because they just taste like edamame and nothing else really. These were excellent. The veggie bao bun had the same filling, so next time we won't order both. The restaurant itself isn't too big, but it's very nice on the inside and clean! read more
