Felt a bit peckish and didn't really want a full meal, but had heard lots of nice things about this place. It was a little difficult to find in a tiny plaza with storefronts not facing the main road - I ended up overshooting the entrance and parking at the Wawa next door (shhhh) and walking over. First thing that struck me was how nice and cheery and bright and sparkling clean this little spot was. I chose two of the char siu buns (steamed buns with pork inside) - $2.50 each. One bun is fine as an appetizer since I really wasn't that hungry. It could have used a little more meat, but it was very tasty. If you bring one home, the best way to reheat is to wrap it in a damp paper towel and microwave for just about a minute. read more

Bao Mama - Pork bun for $2.50 - Noodles Near Me - Cherry Hill Township, New Jersey

Heard about this fairly new spot and had to stop in. Cute little storefront, very clean and pleasant employees! Ordered a few buns, the Big Bao, spicy beef bun and cha siu bun. They did not disappoint! Great flavor and a good amount of filling in each. For $3.50 and $2.50 a bun, great price! Also order the sesame oil noodles which were very flavorful! Topped it off with a Mango Iced Tea. Very refreshing with fresh fruit in it. Definitely stopping in again! read more

Good food for a good price. We ordered a noodle dish and two buns between the two of us... $20 total. Not a bad price at all. We got the big bun, spicy beef bun, and grandma's spicy tender spareribs noodle. We were expecting it to taste similar to the Vietnamese big bun, but it is different. Soft bread and decent amount filling. The spicy beef bun has a slight kick to it. Our favorite was the noodle dish. The spareribs were tender and came right off the bone. Flavorful noodles. Very clean inside the restaurant and aesthetically pleasing. Very simple/clean decor. Will be back to try other menu items. The ladies working up front were extremely nice. read more

Bao Mama - Noodles Near Me - Cherry Hill Township, New Jersey

New spot! I thought it was interesting it was so close to Nan Xiang but more casual spot if you wanna just take out or eat alone. I got the peanut chicken bowl, grandma's special spicy beef noodle bowl, shrimp dumplings, big bao and char siu bao. The bao's and dumplings were chef's kiss. The outer layer was so soft and delicate. The dumplings you can def tell are handmade. The bao's are HUGE especially the big bao. The shrimp dumplings were definitely my favorite dish The noodle bowls were good but definitely eat fresh! I was so full from my dumplings I didn't eat them for awhile and micrwoaved them and was definitely not as good as they would have been fresh. The workers were so nice and accomodating and made sure I had all the sauces for my dumplings and the to-go bags were so cute! Definitely recommend if you have a dumpling craving read more

Bao Mama - Noodles Near Me - Cherry Hill Township, New Jersey

First time trying Baomama and it was really good! Finding the place wasn't too hard and there's plenty of parking. The place is not too small, plenty of seats and tables. You're greeted as soon as you come in and you order at the front. The menu is basically baos, dumplings, noodles, and teas. We order two beef noodles, fired pork chive dumplings, and cha siu bao. The noodles were very good. I believe they were hand drawn noodles and they packed A LOT. We were under the assumption it was a soup, but it was dry noodles (meaning it has a sauce) the meat was very tender and when you add the chili oil it taste better (imo bc i do like spice). The dumplings were really good. The filing to dough ratio was pretty well done. However, the bao buns weren't that great. the filling itself was good, you know, the flavor was there, but the bread wasn't soft nor airy. The bread was a little dry to me. Overall for the price of $38, it wasn't bad at all. i'd definitely come back! read more

I'm starving and it's cold on a Friday afternoon in Cherry Hill. I saw the sign for a new restaurant (after looking online I guess it's not that new). This place is new to me! The first thing that hit me about this place was how clean everything was. Not a spot could be seen. I came in around 1 so admittedly late for lunch for me. I approached the counter and a very nice woman greeted me. I quickly figured out what I wanted and started to order when I found out that they had sold out of it! I must have good taste. Then the woman at the counter politely asked if I wanted another item because it was pretty similar. I agreed and got the spicy pork noodles. I also ordered pork and shrimp pan fried dumplings. I sat at a table with my coworker and waited for a relatively short period of time until our food came out. It was very cute and underneath all the toppings are some very bomb noodles. Little did I know that this is exactly what I wanted this afternoon. The noodles were bouncy and thick and after a bit of stirring, covered in the sauces. My dumplings also came out a very cute pink color. The dumplings were good and the sauces they came with were delicious. The bottom of the dumpling was a bit thicker but honestly... I loved it. The noodles were hot and spicy and savory and when mixed with all the toppings were amazing slurped. I finished my entire bowl and was full. I think this is a perfect takeout or sit and wait spot. I think in the future when I'm not starving I would let my noodles sit a bit in the sauce to really get the flavors married. All in all. This is a welcome addition to Cherry Hill in my book. I will come back again and it will be the restaurant I tell folks to visit now. Thanks for the meal! read more

Bao Mama - Pan fried kimchi dumps, 1- noodle bowl, 1- big bun - Noodles Near Me - Cherry Hill Township, New Jersey

We like their food selection. Noodles are very good, not salty. The baos are very good too, nice soft dough. The cha siu flavor is very good. We also like the dumplings, we tried both steamed and fried. The bubble waffle was great. The big bao has only 1 flavor, not salty at all, i even added a little soy sauce. The service was great! Anna is very attentive. The ambiance is also nice and clean. We will be coming back. read more

I am a huge fan of Bao Mama! Their food is incredible, service is awesome, and the storefront is adorable. Definitely worth checking out. read more

Bao Mama - Pork and Scallion Bun Spicy Beef Bun Chicken and Vegetables Bun Five Spice Marinaded Beef Noodle - Noodles Near Me - Cherry Hill Township, New Jersey

Highly recommend, great place to pick up bao or dumplings as a quick snack and noodles for a full meal. Their bao have generous meat fillings and noodles were perfectly cooked. The camellia milk tea was so good, very fragrant and freshly brewed. First time I've heard of this tea. It's a stand out compared to the usual milk tea made from powder. We'll definitely be back! read more

The food was delicious, it tastes like everything is home made even the dumpling sauce which compliments the dumplings perfectly. I also got the zhajiang noodles and they were the best pork minced noodles I've had around here. The place has a great amount of seating perfect ambiance for a date and the service was quick! Definitely coming back read more

This place has the best Bao I've ever tasted! The dough is perfectly soft, and the fillings are flavorful and cooked to perfection. On top of that, the employees are incredibly friendly and make you feel right at home. Great food, amazing service--can't wait to come back! read more

As soon as you taste the food you can tell it is made with love! Everything we have tried from Bao Mama has been absolutely delicious. Their noodle dishes are fresh and have the perfect texture. Love the steamed buns too. Prices are so incredibly reasonable, and the portions are huge. We are also incredibly impressed by the customer service- a delivery service messed up our order and the woman managing the restaurant went out of her way to take care of us. Would 100 percent recommend! read more

Ordered takeout and was not disappointed with the packaging and food! The woman who took my order on the phone was thorough and double checked my order. We ordered a lot! Sturdy bags, reusable containers for the noodles, corn/compostable containers that were labeled for our fried dumplings, sturdy plastic bag for drinks AND they even wrapped the mini sauces in saran wrap to keep from spilling in our car. The 6 pork dumplings and 6 beef dumplings did not make it home... Eaten in the car as they were SO delicious. No photo there. Cha Siu bun (photo) is delicious. Bun is chewy and holds up well with filling inside. One bun (and 6 dumplings) had me almost full. The vegetarian bun had the filling minced very nicely. The chili oil helped as I would've liked some salt in the filling. Shredded chicken noodles were good and came with cucumber, carrot and an egg. Although noodles were a little dry. The Scallion oil noodles had much better flavor and I will be ordering again. Marinated beef noodles had similar tasting noodles as the chicken one but came with sliced beef and an egg - both overcooked but I think would be better in person fresh. Our drinks came with a cute butterfly drink sleeve and happy quote :). Overall will 100% demolish some pan fried dumplings again, Scallion noodles, buns, and likely marinated beef in person. read more

4 stars for the Big Bao Buns - very fluffy, light bun and the pork shrimp mushrooms filling is very flavorful. I tried steamed dumplings sampler for $10 with meat as well as vegetarian dumplings and have to say it's not worth it to me. Also got the fried pork and shrimp dumplings and again not worth it. For about $1 per each dumpling it's pricey. I expected something that will blow me away, but the wrapper and filling taste and texture is just like any cheap Hmart dumpling to me. Fried pork bun is pretty good. 4/5 rating. Crispy but still fluffy bun. Fillings are well balanced. Scallion noodles are great ! It sounds simple but the umami flavor is on point. Not too salty. I would have preferred a thinner noodle and the scallions fried as well (scallions sprinkled on raw). It's especially good with the chillies oil, has a nice tingle on the tongue if you like spicy. Service is nice but SLOWWWWW. It took about 30 mins and still my big buns were not ready. I didn't feel like waiting any longer so I just asked for it cold and I'll steam it at home. It was pretty good once I steamed it myself. Overall, it's a mom and pops place, not corporate. So their logistics might be shakey at opening weeks. Hope they have smoother operation later. I recommend calling and order ahead. Get the buns, skip the dumplings. read more

Freshly made and delicious. Authentic Bao Buns with many fillings. Wonderful staff will help guide your selection. read more

Not too sure how I feel about this place just yet. I do want to try to go in person and give it another chance. We only ordered takeout. Loved the big bun reminds me of Vietnamese banh bao but could've used more meat and less breading. The two noodle dishes we ordered tasted very similar. But overall not bad! Willing to try again! read more

Good food, good service, nice and clean environment, fresh noodles and ingredients, I really enjoyed everything when I get here!

Got takeout from here. The staff is really friendly. Ordered the chasiu bao, zhajiang mian and a few items. The food was okay but definitely filling which is a plus. The zhajiang mian could have used a little more black bean sauce for the ground pork since it was on the dry side and I didn't see any cubed 5 spice tofu in it. My colleagues enjoyed it. I'll probably return. read more

The potential is there but executing fell short, we were the only table and the food came out tepid to cold. Friendly staff but it's not enough to bring me back. The place is clean and bright but it's also new. I'll give it another chance in a month. read more

The bao buns are so,so good. The cha siu was our favorite! It was just the right ratio of meat/ sauce to bun. We also enjoyed the teas and home made noodles. The owner was also very nice and kept checking in on if we were happy or needed anything. Would definitely recommend! read more

Bao Mama is definitely a hidden gem in Cherryhill. Had the Cha Siu Bao and it is exactly like how I had it when I was little. The dough is fluffy and the taste is on point. Pairing the Bao with a ZaiJiangMein noodle is really the way to go. First the sweet and savory then adding the savory noodle plus the hot chili oil sauce does give you an authentic experience. This mama papa store is surprisingly good and does live up to their name Bao MaMa :). I would definitely recommend this place for anyone who loves Bao and noodles. read more

Loved the atmosphere and the food was absolutely delicious. The lovely ladies were also very welcoming and friendly. Tried their noodles, bao buns, steam dumplings and boba tea, I was surprised with how everything remained me like I was back at home with my grandma cooking. Highly recommend for anyone in the area to give bao mama a try. read more

Have been here several times and always loved it, but today, quality of several items significantly worse. All pan fried dumplings (kimchi, pork and chives, pork and shrimp) were visibly dry and did not have the proper chew of a properly pan fried dumpling. Was almost like they were cooked earlier then either fried and overcooked in a pan without enough oil or heated in a toaster oven until too dry. Big bun was really dry and in several places inedible. Almost like it was pre-cooked, frozen, then microwaved (and as cooked before we ate it, became leathery). 2 of 3 drink orders were also wrong (not even close to what we ordered). Thankfully the noodle dishes were the usual good quality. I really hope this was an isolated off day as I really liked this place and will give it another shot read more

The food here is made with love, you can taste it. So fresh, the bao buns are so juicy and warm and soft, the best around.

Fantastic food, spotless interior, and amazing service! They have the best noodles I've ever had and all the toppings I've tried have been delicious. The bao are big and well filled with tasty options. The owner and cashier are always friendly and courtesy and eager to explain things and make recommendations. If you are in the area, make a point to try this place, you won't regret it! read more

great food with quick service; we got mushroom noodles and zhajian noodles with a few baos. It was all delicious and some of the best I've had in a while. read more

Stopped by for lunch while on the way to Costco and was welcomed by the friendliest person at the register. We ordered the pork and chive dumplings, spicy beef baos, and zhajiang noodles. Portions were enough to feed two people. The dumplings were super flavorful and crispy. Way better than the dumplings at Nan Xiao across the street. Left full and happy. Our new favorite goto in cherry hill area. read more

The shrimp dumplings were delicious and the noodles are bouncy. I will be coming back.

Food was delicious. The scallion oil noodle was great. I love the vegetarian bun they were delicious.

Great new spot! The workers were so nice and helpful, and the food was delicious. We got the zhajiang noodles, which turned out to be the perfect comfort food for a rainy day! Bao Mama is an instant favorite, and we will be back very soon!! read more

Went to this place for the first time today and the staff were so welcoming. Environment clean and orderly. Ended up getting the scallion pancakes, scallion oil noodles, egg and scallion dumplings, vegtable bao bun, red bean bao bun, spicy beef bao bun, and chicken dumplings. Total was only $36 AND they added a free drink and free extra bao bun to the order. My favorite was the vegtable bao bun. Highly recommend! read more
