Oh i loved this food and want more! 1st time to this place We got the Hawaiian Spam noodle Box (mainly for me) and he mainly ate from the grilled shrimp noodle box. Also ordered Bulgogi Fries and Bulgogi Ribeye Beef Bao. It was our first time ordering a noodle dish like this. This was super refreshing and loved the mix of veggies with it. The sauce was on the sweeter side but we liked mixing it into the plate! My only negative was that I wish there was more spam! For this being the same price as some of the other protein options I figured it'd have just as much as the shrimp one we got and as some of the other ones that had pictures online. Place was super clean, and cute. Our order was ready when we walked on so we didn't really take the time to take in the ambiance. It was bright though and did like the greenery in there. Need to go back!
Somewhat on the pricy side for me but the food was worth it. It was soo good i really loved the Bulgogi Ribeye Beef Bao... The service was good and i loved the interior.. all the decorations were so cuteI will be coming back for sure
Came here for late night snack. We ordered a banh mi, bao, and a side of fries all for $21. I thought it was ok.....The place definitely felt very very dirty. I wouldn't recommend dinning in. The employees were pretty cool though. I think if the flavor was better and the environment was cleaner I would come back but in all honestly I don't think this place is worth your time!
Stopped by for lunch. I ordered the beef bowl along with the pork spring rolls. Quantity-wise, there was more than enough food - I could not finish everything. The food was made to order and came out quick. The beef had great flavor -- I probably ate more than I should have. The pork roll, I wasn't a fan of this style. At other places, they season and barbecue the pork - this place has more of a deli style. No biggie, it just gave me more room for the beef bowl. I'd definitely stop back by and order the beef bowl again!
What in the deli meat chicken is in my chicken spring roll??? What is this lol... all other chicken spring rolls actually have chicken, not deli meat. The have no cucumber. Just plain boring and no flavor. Wasted my money for sure. With all these positive reviews, it's obvious that they offer something in return for leaving the review. Chicken.. pork.. whatever. Regardless, it's deli meat!! Pork deli meat. Just terrible. Add some flavor!
1. Service - you only deal with the cashier. They seem nice and kind. 2. Price - to be honest, they are missing a star because of the prices. It's $7-$8 for a sandwich here. $16 easily for two sandwiches without a drink and before tax. I get a bigger bang for the buck at Subway's or at Lee's sandwich. For $16, I can get 3 sandwiches in Bellaire Blvd. But I get it, this is not Bellaire, and real estate is probably more than in Chinatown. 3. Ambiance - cute and small. They have an open kitchen concept. Dress code here is casual. Order and pay at the front before sitting down. 4. Food - I ordered their LEMONGRASS PORK and SPECIAL COMBO Banh Mi sandwiches. The Lemongrass Pork sandwich was really flavorful and good, but the Special Combo sandwich was ok. Not as good as their Chinatown counterparts. Not only is this place more expensive, but the sandwiches are tiny. 5. Cleanliness - no complaints here. The place seems nice and clean. SUMMARY: I haven't tried all the food items here. For what it's worth, it's great to have a Vietnamese sandwich shop in the Energy Corridor area. But it is more expensive compared to other Banh Mi shops in Houston. The price tag would be a reason I may reconsider in going. However, the food is not bad and I would come back if I have a craving and not willing to travel to Chinatown for them.
That's a tasty son of a gun! I enjoyed the softshell crab. It takes about 3 or 4 bao to fill me up. I'd say this is a great lunch spot, but not a dinner environment. Service was helpful; the menu is large and there are a lot of options.
Bao Bao Banh Mi, why are you so good? I don't know sir, my name is just cool. Drove right past you and I fell in love, decided to go inside to find out all the buzz. In a neat locale that would make anyone smile, the staff greeted me and told me to stay a while. Looked at the menu, and the prices were so fair. Banh Mis, Baos, sliders, teas, and drinks galore. It was a Saturday and people were sitting inside, I tried a Banh Mi, Chicken Katsu Slider (on a Hawaiian Bun), a Lemon Grass Pork Banh Mi, a Grass Jelly drink, and a Vietnamese Iced Coffee. It was all delicious. The staff was incredibly friendly and provided superb service. The restaurant was clean and had good seating, and there was free water as well. Loved it, I would definitely come back and pay a visit. Check it out!
If you are in the energy corridor area, find this hidden spot for a good banh mi! Their bread is warm and crispy, very flavorful and good amount of ingredients! Add in boba beverages, baos and usual Asian quick food. I'd remember it again for my next visit in this neighborhood!!
Super love this place and can't wait to go back! From the amazing service to the delicious food. We started with the pork fried egg roll.. well, we tried, lol. It was very hot and was still hot at the end of our meal when we finally ate them. Very filling bao with delicious flavors. We tried a few and I'm telling you, no matter how you decide, you can't go wrong. The strawberry lemonade with popping boba was very refreshing as well!
First time visiting! Brought 8 colleagues to try and they all enjoyed it! They have sufficient seating as a fast-casual restaurant. Ordered at the cashier and they will bring the food out to you. I got the Bulgogi Vermicelli Bowl and it was really good and flavorful. Included the meat, cucumber, nuts (on the side), shredded lettuce, carrots and fish sauce. Also got a mango green tea with boba (very refreshing and the boba was nice and chewy). Would come back again and try the Baos & Banh Mi! Parking - within the plaza
Reviews are largely positive. People highlight the flavorful and fresh food, especially bao and banh mi, along with friendly and helpful service. The interior is clean and inviting.

Came back again... the spicy pork Bao is even better than the pork belly Bao... I ordered online so it was ready when I pulled up. IG snapeatblog read more
Banh mi lemongrass pork - thin slices of pork exactly like how I like it. Braised pork belly - great flavor. Melts in your mouth Wish there was a tad more veggies but at least the bread was crispy. Mine was a tad bready vs his wasn't. read more
Bao Bao Banh Mi offers the best Banh Mi in the Memorial/Energy Corridor area! Services are nice and will cook the meat fresh to order. The food comes out fresh, clean, and aromatic. The flavor is top notch. Definitely recommend this place for a good sandwich. The restaurant is hidden in a plaza especially on Eldridge Parkway. However, interior is clean and provides a friendly casual dine experience with extra sauces provided. read more

I always drive past this store, so I decided to stop by recently to check it out. It's a cute little banh mi shop and very clean. We ordered the rice box, vermicelli box, egg rolls, and a bao, and it didn't take too long for the foods to come out. We chose lemongrass pork and grilled chicken for the vermicelli box, bulgogi ribeye and caramelized tofu for the rice box, braised pork belly bao, and fried pork egg rolls. My favorite had to be the caramelized tofu topping and the braised pork belly bao. Those were easily the best tasting foods of that meal. The other toppings for the rice and noodles were very flavorful as well. The pork egg rolls tasted okay; their size was a bit smaller than the size of a typical Vietnamese egg roll, and they were a bit dry and bland. Overall, this was a pretty nice banh mi shop in this area of town. I will definitely stop by again to try their other options. read more

Bao Bao is a very clean and casual restaurant/cafe. They serve various food items and some boba drinks. We got a few different foods to try; we got the lemongrass banh mi, bulgogi bao, pork bao, and the lemongrass rice box. The food was really yummy. The banh mi was a good size and had a good balance with softness and crunch for the bread. The baos were both really soft and had a nice flavor. The rice box had a good amount of meat and was also tasty (I just wish I knew I could've ordered an egg to add to it!) This was more than enough food for 2 people and was only about $23. We both left full and satisfied! read more
I used to think that Korean Bulgogi meat or Vietnamese Banh Mi ingredients with Chinese Steamed Bun was just incongruous. I mean, how can anything be better than the combination of Peking roast duck, Hoisin sauce, and scallion? Oh how naive I was. I have nothing bad to say about how the baos tasted. If I can remember correctly, we ate the Spicy Pork Bulgogi, Shrimp, and Spicy Pork baos. Umm... Yes yes, and yes! Each was full of flavor and had reminiscence of familiarity from the traditional. At a certain point, I didn't really care which one I grabbed out of the box because they were all good. Their Banh Mi sandwiches are legit too. It tasted like a typical Banh Mi without the extra frills. Nothing bad, nothing over the top, but just a good Banh Mi. I usually find fusion style cuisine to be pricier than traditional cuisine. I think if I was to eat only the baos and spring rolls, I wouldn't consider it a cheap meal. Then again, I eat like a gold fish because I don't know when to stop eating sometimes. In the end, I learned that there should be no rules in what meat gets stuffed between your buns. As long as you reach satisfaction, anything goes. Yes, I'm talking about the baos! read more
Found this awesome Vietnamese restaurant today. Came here in my lunch break and it will be a regular spot for me. Staff is very friendly and the menu options are great. I tried there sliders with beef. These are served on a Hawaiian roll. A nice appetizer or light snack. The rice box was also great. A very generous portion of meat served with rice and veggies. The spring rolls were also great and very fresh. My favorite part was the ice coffee. It was perfect and I'll be making coffee runs here during the work day. It was sweet and strong and just perfect. read more

This was our 4th day in Houston, and I really needed a break from BBQ. We ordered the combo Bahn Mi, and a 2 item bowl with noodles- I got the lemongrass pork and bulgogi. It was good and refreshing. We also got an order of fried egg rolls. read more

Went for my first time today after it was recommended by a friend. Y'all certainly got a customer in me! I enjoyed everything I ordered: The jasmine green tea boba, the grilled pork lemongrass sandwich and vegetable eggrolls, all of it was so yummy and fresh and it taste like quality. The staff was very helpful and made sure my order was right. 10/10 I'll be back. read more
Eh... I really wanted to like this place, but it was meh. I mean, it wasn't really THAT bad. It just wasn't really THAT good either. I ordered the porkchop, so maybe I just ordered the wrong thing. It had a weird sweet taste to it that I wasn't fond of. I also ordered spring rolls. Those were pretty much your typical spring rolls. Nothing fancy. They did put hot sauce in the dip that goes with the spring rolls and I would have rather just added my own. But I wasn't mad about it. I may go back and give it another chance and order something different, but I'm not going to go out of my way. read more
Time and time again I have tried to venture here, but November 10th was finally the day. My order consisted of three items: Braised Pork Belly Bao * Bulgogi Ribeye Beef Sandwich * Pork Eggrolls (2-piece order) This is a simple case of sometimes a photograph can make something look better than the actual taste of the finished product. -Braised Pork Belly Bao: There are two parts to this. The pork belly itself and the bao bun. Pork belly: I am used to pork belly that is fatty, has charred ends, and melts in your mouth. This was the opposite. It was cooked fully and tasted like dry brisket. Bao bun: Steamed beautifully and fluffy to the touch and pinch--like a marshmallow. -Bulgogi Ribeye Beef Sandwich: Bread was average and dried out your mouth with each bite. Ribeye beef itself lacked flavor. I added sriracha sauce to a few bites, then hoisin sauce to a few bites. -Pork Eggrolls: Shell had nice crunch, leaving a flake or two to fall onto your lip. Accompanied sauce was simple, adding a subtle sweetness. The saving grace to a mediocre meal. Highlights: bao bun and pork eggrolls read more

Very delicious food! I never usually rate things individually, but I think it's appropriate this time around. The Thai Green Tea is somehow better than the one served at Teahouse; the boba is a bit gummy (which I like) with a honey flavor that isn't overbearing. The tea itself tasted amazing! I liked that its flavor was very present and strong, but not overwhelmingly so. [5/5] The Lemongrass Pork Bao is to die for. Amazing flavor. [5/5] The Grilled Shrimp Bao was alright imo. I probably would've appreciated the shrimp more in a bánh mì with sriracha instead of a bao. You can never really go wrong with shrimp, but don't expect much beyond the flavor of grilled shrimp + sauce with this one. [3/5] The Spicy Gochujang Wings were heavenly, oh my god lol. BBBM somehow gets double-fried wings better than most Korean spots in Houston who are supposed to specialize in this stuff. The crunch is heavenly, the batter is perfection, and the sauce, while not really spicy, has a beautiful flavor that I think anyone would appreciate. [5/5] BBBM has such good food, even my belches later on tasted better than many meals I've had in the past lmao. I'd definitely recommend trying it! read more

Absolutely delicious. Had the bulgogi banh mi, a soft shell crab bao (WoW!!) and a pork belly bao. Want to try the lemongrass pork and caramelized tofu next! Lots of plants and bright green paint. Great place! read more

Mediocre sandwich for a mediocre restaurant with a mediocre owner that's also a worker ... makes sense now. Bought Bulgogi Ribeye Beef Sandwich and the Owner/Manager "Bao" (I doubt that's his name) was extremely rude and they gave me this, when it was ordered as a Mango slushie, they refused to correct the order. They saw I was not happy about the decision to not correct it, and he literally said why should he take a loss. So stupid for a business to run a place with no customer service and rather save $3 to correct THEIR MISTAKE than lose a customer and potentially a bad review, YIKES! Over priced and bao and banh mi portions small. Didn't taste authentic on top of it all. Im pretty sure if the restaurant wouldn't have been empty, and there was at least one person there MAYBE they would've had a different attitude about it to not look bad with others, who knows. Don't see this place open for long. read more

This is the third time I go to Bao Bao. Food is delicious. It is a great food made fast. My favorite is the lemongrass pork bao. The bun is so soft. The pork is flavorful. The sauces over the pork are a great addition. Thank you! read more
