    Inside

    My friend brought me to Bao Boom to try their handmade Sheng Jian Bao (pan-fried soup buns) from Shanghai. I was quite impressed with thin outer top layer, crispy thicker bottom (with no burnt flavor), juicy interior and flavorful meat. My only complaints are that I wish there was more meat and it's a little pricey (4 for $9.99). Be careful when eating this because it is very hot, so take small bites and let it cool a bit! But overall, the Shen Jian Bao is one of the best I've been able to find in NYC.

    Combo c $22

    I ordered meal c $22. This includes 4 pan fried dumplings and chicken thigh with scallion oil noodles. Dumplings were good. Crispy skin and FLAVORFUL pork and broth. The noodles were the highlight. Springy texture and very flavorful. The chicken was ok. Not juicy. Will come back for the noodles and Dumplings. Service was ok.

    Got the combo B or C. 4 Bao's + duck vermicelli noodle soup. Noodles were sticky and OK but lots of duck include liver. Broth was OK. Fair value at $16 for the 4 Bao's and noodles esp since the 4 Bao's are $10 already. Friendly staff as usual.

    Pan fried Buns

    Our server was polite, and the food came out in a timely manner. The wontons in our set meal were pretty good, but the pan-fried buns were the real standout. They were juicy, packed with flavor, and easily my favorite part of the meal. I'd definitely come back just for those!

    Located in the food court of 99 ranch, pleasantly surprised how good their sheng jian bao was. Def worth getting

    Beef noodle soup

    This was highly rated even though it's a new spot so I wanted to try the buns when I was in the area. It's at the food court inside Ranch 99 supermarket. I had to walk all around to find it; it's right next to the bathrooms, behind the escalator. Menu is a bit limited but I ordered the 4 bao buns with the wonton soup combo for $14.99 and a beef noodle soup for $16.99. They give you a small handheld device that beeps when the food is ready. Really convenient. The food did take some time but we didn't mind, everything was so hot when L brought the food to the table.. The bao buns were steaming but it was so delicious and full of soup...I've never had a fried bao with this much soup before. I didn't use a spoon since it's still a bao and just used my fingers to hold it; it was so hot, I had to take small bites...lil pricey but great quality. L ate the rest since he liked them so much and I was busy eating the beef noodle soup. The meat was on the bone so it was a lil awkward to eat but the last piece fell right off. I loved that it wasn't salty. L ate all the wontons while I tried some of the broth. Everything was really good, the food isn't that complicated but so well made. We were shocked that this food was served at food court. Definitely restaurant quality. Just tasted like real food and nowadays you don't always get that. FYI there's a kiosk to order all the way to the left of the stall, I only noticed as we were leaving. Although the lady at the register is very nice... We did come back to try the pork belly noodle just before going to dinner at Jiang Nan. Big piece of pork belly, still lots of meat. We did share the noodle but I got somewhat full and took most of the food home from the other restaurant. I think I enjoyed the food more ...at Bao Boom than at J.N. even though that was good too.

    This new place is I side of the 99 Ranch supermarket's downstairs food court. The food was good with decent prices. I ordered a wonton soup and noodle combo for about $15. The cashier was very friendly. There's seating right next to the business. I'm curious to try other dishes on their menu.

    New best soup buns in Flushing!! Perfectly thin skin, crispy bottom, and soo much flavor. Dont forget to try their house special braised pork noodles too!

    It was delicious--especially those pan-fried buns; they were absolutely bursting with juice. It's definitely worth checking out!

It's like a soup dumpling's fluffy bun cousin, with each one filled with a juicy pork and savory broth. 6 PC. SHENG JIAN BAO - 9.99 These were made to order, freshly pan-fried alongside at least 50 other buns. They're pretty small, maybe two to three bites each, but they come out piping hot, which is when they're best eaten. The skin was thin but held up well to the filling and broth without any spillage issues. The pork filling was so juicy, and the broth was sweet and rich with pork flavor. My only complaint was that the top part of the bun was a bit stale rather than fluffy. Besides that, these were incredibly delicious. If we weren't on a food crawl, I definitely could have eaten a whole plate of these on my own, if not more. This spot was easily one of my favorite stalls of the entire crawl, and I can definitely see why people love it so much. 8/16/2026 Flushing Food Crawl #7 of 11

That said, that isn't the case, and what is seemingly darker is actually a decent restaurant with good food.

For those who have a more bland taste profile, it is recommended to have white rice or equivalent to pair with it.

Sadly, the food did not live up to my expectations. On a positive note, the service was good. There was only one server, a young woman working this afternoon, and she was courteous and pleasant throughout our meal. For drinks, Hubby ordered Aunt Xu's Blood Glutinous Rice Milk Tea, while I had Aunt Xu's Blood Glutinous Rice with Fresh Milk. Both were refreshing and delicious, and these were probably the highlights of our meal. I ordered the Stir-Fried Tomato and Scrambled Eggs Mixed Noodles. It was decent, but nothing particularly special or memorable. The biggest disappointment was the Double Mushroom and Vegetable Heart Gluten Pot. There were barely a few pieces of gluten (面筋) in the entire dish. For a dish that features gluten as its main ingredient, the portion was incredibly disappointing. The taste was just okay--nothing particularly memorable. Gluten pot is one of my favorite Shanghai dishes, so I was especially excited to try it here. Unfortunately, the dish was far from what I had hoped for and made the experience even more underwhelming. Hubby ordered the Crispy Bottom Pot Stickers, which he described as just okay--nothing memorable and certainly not something that would make him want to order them again. We really wanted to love this place, but unfortunately, the food simply did not impress us. Aside from the refreshing drinks and good service, there wasn't much that stood out.
