We went with their dumpling items and we enjoyed the dishes. Our favorite was the pan fried pork bun, but the wonton in chili oil was good as well. You order at the front counter, grab a table number, find a table and they will deliver the food to you. Water is self serve, dining area isn't too fancy, just your standard Asian restaurant dining layout.

The food is great! I want to come back and try the buns!!! We had a very nice time. Service is fast and the prices are great! We had to take left overs home.

I love dumplings and I am 99.9% sure this is the best place in town for dumplings, boa, and wontons in chili oil. I had the wontons in chili oil today and they are freshly made in the kitchen, steamed and doused in chili oil. The cilantro and green onion on top are a nice complement as well. The sauce is slightly spicy or if you are a chili head, not so spicy There is also a bit of sweetness to the pork filled wonton and they are overall delicious! I have ordered the Pork XiaoLongBao soup dumplings several times in the past and they are the #1 seller for a reason. Handmade and full of broth so be careful with you take a nibble from the side to slup the soup, they are served piping hot. They include a side of chili crisp oil, a sweeter dumpling sauce and a more savory dipping sauce. The location is on the Northeast corner of 71st and Memorial which can be kind of tricky to get to during heavy traffic times so just plan your approach accordingly. I am always on the go and usually order online for pickup and they have always had my order ready in 15minutes or less. They do have seating inside if you want to dine in.

88 BaoBao Dumpling & Ramen was my most anticipated restaurant. I have been waiting for this restaurant to open forever. My patience has paid off, and I am thrilled Tulsa finally has a Chinese restaurant specializing in noodles and dumplings. The menu is simple. Try a dumpling and a noodle soup. Trust me, this is the place for these two items. For the dumplings, I would recommend XiaoLongBao aka "soup dumplings." These are steamed dumplings made with a thin dough wrapper, a seasoned broth, and juicy meat filling." The pork soup dumplings at 88 BaoBao were delicious. For the noodle soup, you have to try the beef ramen. Tonkotsu ramen, black garlic ramen, and chicken ramen were available on the menu but it was hard for me to get any of these soups thanks to Jinya Ramen Bar. I would consider the wonton ramen, but the go-to noodle soup for the first visit is the BEEF RAMEN. This was the best beef ramen in Tulsa. The beef slices were soft and tender. The noodles were perfect. I could have probably handled extra spicy. The only complaint was the broth which could have been more flavorful. This restaurant is going to be trendy. It's really unique, and I am surprised that Tulsa hasn't had one. 88 BaoBao is the first, and I hoping for more Chinese soups and dumplings restaurants in the future. I came back and tried the cucumber salad which was okay. Basically, chopped cucumber in a sweet garlic sauce for $6.95. Hmm...not sure about it. Also got the wonton ramen extra spicy. Spicy and extra spicy tasted the same to me. The wonton wrappers looked thick but they tasted great. The beef ramen was definitely the better ramen.

So much to love about this place! The food is super fresh and tasty. The veggie rice noodles are tasty and the pork buns are delicious. The staff is super friendly and love that you can see food being prepared. Quick service too. It's a small place but love seeing all the goodies on the tables and the tv with footage of dishes being prepared. Great overall experience. Check them out!

Came here after a long day at a convention nearby, we were hungry and looking for some authentic Chinese food and we found it here! For starters, we got the cucumber salad and BOY it is refreshing, crunchy, well seasoned and crushed like how it's supposed to be. We got the sautéed green beans (requested no msg) in garlic... so good, came out right away. We ordered F2 stir fry vege rice noodles (requested no msg) and that came out next. The rice noodles were perfectly cooked and lightly seasoned (just the way we like it!) Of course we ordered pork xiao long bao and this was the highlight of the meal. You need to wait as they need 15 min to steam. They came out last, piping hot soup inside and just delicious. I added a few drops of soy and vinegar to my spoon before loading up the dumpling into my spoon. Perfection. We definitely need to come back at least one more time to have the beef noodle soup.

As per the Doctor's recommendation, I ordered the Beef Ramen. It was very good, The beef; lean, tender, and pleasantly seasoned. A little more spiciness wouldn't have bothered me at all. My wife went with the Shanghai Style Chicken Chow Mein. It didn't have much flavor and was too oily for her liking. We kept a copy of the menu at the table to study the meal options. She had noticed Orange Chicken had been added to the menu in handwriting. She wished that she had ordered that. Order at the counter and pay at the counter. Grab your soda from the cooler before you sit down. Your food is delivered to your table. I like the open kitchen. You can view the cooks as they prepare the food. Any strange animals are probably executed out away from the public view. It appeared to be a well ran operation. A previous reviewer noted that on his visit, the restaurant had a malodorous fragrance. They must have addressed the problem. It was clean and odor free today. Eventually we will be back to try the restaurant's namesake specialty, the little steamed bags and buns, of meat and vegetables. The Beef Ramen...very good!

Finally got to try this place & yum! The staff was so friendly & helpful with the menu. We tried quite a few different dishes including steamed garlic green beans, fried shrimp, black garlic ramen bowl, wontons in chili oil, bbq pork buns, red beans buns & custard buns. I am STUFFED lol. I didn't try everything we ordered but I ate plenty & left full.

Atmosphere and Service 88 Bao Bao is the epitome of a hole-in-the-wall--unpolished, functional, and oddly comforting. Boxes of drinks sit stacked in a corner, the air carries the scent of oil and steam, and the space, while not overtly clean, doesn't feel uncared for. Bamboo pendant lights and red chairs nod to familiar tropes, offering a touch of nostalgic warmth. Service is average, but the vibe is unmistakable: this isn't commercial polish--it's ugly delicious, in its most literal, lovable form. Pork Xiao Long Bao Piping hot and nestled in a bamboo steamer, each dumpling arrives like a sealed promise. One bite releases a burst of rich, porky broth that floods the palate--heavy, savory, and deeply satisfying. The wrapper strikes a perfect balance: not too thick, not too thin, with just enough bite to hold the delicate fold. Inside, the soft pork filling is tender and well-seasoned. It's the kind of bite that leaves you immediately wanting another. Shrimp & Pork Shao Mai This little purse of pork and shrimp opens with deep, savory notes of pork before gently giving way to the sweet, delicate essence of shrimp. The texture walks a perfect line between soft and firm--plush without being mushy, structured without being dense. Each bite carries a beautiful richness that lingers and coats the mouth, delivering both comfort and complexity. It's a quiet triumph of balance, both in flavor and form. Pork Potsticker A standout among Tulsa's potstickers, this is the juiciest, most mouth-filling dumpling in town. Diner beware: it will squirt--bursting with hot, savory broth that demands full attention. Miss a drop and you'll regret it. The pork filling leans into a classic potsticker flavor profile, but what sets it apart is the texture--plush, perfectly seared, and deeply satisfying. The devil is in the details, and here, the devil tastes oh so good. BBQ Pork Bun The bun features a sweet soy-glazed pork filling, reminiscent of the classic red-tinged BBQ pork from takeout spots--sticky, sweet, and familiar. But the bun is overwhelming. It's large, crumbly, and quickly falls apart, leaving more fluff than flavor. There's maybe one good bite of filling before you're left with a mouthful of bland bread. The ratio skews heavily toward the bun, burying what little BBQ goodness there is. Popcorn Chicken These little chunks of heaven boast a crispy exterior and soft, tender interior. Like the beef, they lean one-dimensional--but they're executed well. Addictive in their simplicity, they're the kind of thing you can't stop at one or two--you'll want the whole plate. They shine best as a vessel for sweet Thai chili sauce: safe, satisfying, and undeniably well done. Wonton in Hot Chili Oil Simply incredible--these sweet, umami-packed pockets deliver on both flavor and texture. The wonton wrapper is silky yet toothsome, concealing a savory pork filling that satisfies with every bite. The hot chili oil brings just the right amount of heat, while the pool of oil at the bottom of the bowl offers a rich, salty-sweet depth. Pro tip: drizzle that leftover oil over the popcorn chicken--it transforms a safe dish into something crave-worthy. Fried Shrimp The batter is incredible--light, crisp, and unmistakably East Coast in flavor, with that distinct savory-sweet profile you rarely find outside New York or Boston. While it looks like the typical tempura you'd see at a sushi joint, the taste is something else entirely. It hits a nostalgic, almost personal note. Can you taste the shrimp? Not really. But it doesn't matter. The fry is the star--and it's doing all the heavy lifting. Black and Gold Molten Lava Buns A simply beautiful bun--dark and glossy like hot river stones with a streak of gold. Each bite releases a molten core of sugary, eggy, grainy goodness. Whether the grainy texture is intentional or a byproduct of undissolved sugar is unclear, but it doesn't detract from the experience.

I was so excited to finally try this restaurant. I ordered the chicken ramen with medium spice level, vegetable and pork steamed dumplings, and my friend ordered chicken fried rice. The chicken fried rice was probably the best I've had in a very long time. The dumplings were perfect and ramen was great also. I definitely want to go back and try something different. I would recommend, I t's plenty of food to share.

We had a great meal @ 88 Bao Bao last night! Very friendly and accommodating staff and service was quick. You order at the counter and they deliver to your table. 3 of us ordered ramen with those being beef ramen, pork ramen and wonton ramen. All were delicious and full of meat and veggies. You can get any ramen at any degree of hot or non at all. An order of pork steamed buns and pork/crab dumplings were also very delicious. It's a small restaurant but seating can be had if you arrive at a good time. I will definitely be back to try other things.

Everything we order was great! The fried soup dumpling was my fav. We got tonkatsu ramen and it was very flavorful.
