Food was really good! I really enjoyed the fried pork bun and the green beans. I would be coming back with my family next time.

Food is amazing , service is fast and staff is very friendly and very attentive ((: I'd recommend any soup dumpling , cucumber salad and gaarlic green beans read more

Great noodles! I also got a labubu lol. Very high tech Asian place. Nice music. Waiter was very chill too.

Took my father, mom, hubby, and the kids here for Father's Day lunch, and we arrived right before opening. There was already a line forming outside! Luckily, we were the second or third party in line and were seated immediately. We later found out many people had reservations, and several walk-ins were added to the waitlist shortly after opening. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, with seating for about 50 people, creating a cozy and lively atmosphere. It got busy very quickly after opening, and within a short time nearly every table was filled. It's easy to see why reservations are recommended, especially on busy weekends and holidays. We ordered quite the spread to sample as much as possible: XLB, the giant crab and Kurobuta pork soup dumpling, crispy pork with shrimp and chicken potstickers, beef rolls, scallion pancake, spicy wontons, shrimp and chive dumplings, sautéed string beans, jellyfish and cabbage, beef short rib noodle soup, and the pork and pickled vegetable noodle soup. Despite the restaurant filling up quickly, the food came out surprisingly fast. Every dish was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. The soup dumplings were packed with flavorful broth, the spicy wontons had just the right amount of heat, the beef rolls were savory and satisfying, and the noodle soups were rich and comforting. Even the vegetable dishes were well-executed and complemented the meal perfectly. By the end, we were completely stuffed but couldn't stop talking about how good everything was. Everyone from the grandparents to the kids found something they enjoyed, making it the perfect spot for a family gathering. The food quality, efficient service, and overall dining experience made for a wonderful Father's Day celebration. We'll definitely be back again to try even more items from the menu! read more

Literally spent 50 minutes in traffic just to satisfy my dumpling cravings today, and honestly? No regrets at all. Found this gem called Bao Master in Alhambra. First impression: the environment is so clean, bright, and modern--definitely not your average cramped, greasy noodle shop. Pro-tip: We purposely skipped the peak dinner rush and arrived a bit later past 7 PM. Best decision ever. No lines, no waiting, just walked right in and got seated immediately. We had a party of 3 and ordered a whole feast. Here's the breakdown: Big Mac Crab Meat & Kurobuta Pork Soup Dumpling : You only get one big one, but OMG the broth inside was so rich and packed with crab flavor. A must-order! Pan-fried Kurobuta Pork Buns : Super crispy at the bottom, fluffy on top, and bursting with soup. Crab Meat & Scallion Oil Noodles : The scallion aroma combined with the crab meat was heavenly. The noodles had the perfect chew. Pork Ribs and Egg Fried Rice : The ribs were seasoned perfectly and the fried rice was super comforting. Washed it all down with their Homestyle Duck Soup which was the perfect cozy finish. Total bill came out to around $100 for 3 people before tips, which is honestly a steal for the quality and portion size in LA nowadays. If you're a fan of solid Shanghainese comfort food, this spot is highly recommended. Just remember to go during off-peak hours to skip the line! read more

My aunt and my lil sis wanted a place to have lunch and we decided to come to Bao Monster. We went on Wednesday, at opening and there was no way at all. They had a very nice open decor and there were plenty of seats. We were able to order a food in the app and the food came out pretty quickly. We ordered these five dishes. 1. Garlic Sauted String Beans 2. Crispy Beef Pancake Roll 3. Panfried Kurobuta Pork Buns 5 Pcs 4. Kurobuta Pork Soup Dumpling 5. Spicy Shrimp Kurobuta Pork Wontons Everything was really good. I love the flavor and how thin the skin was for the soup dumplings. I also love their green beans, but my favorites were the crispy beef pancake and the Panfried Kurobuta Pork Buns. There was plenty of beef in the beef roll, and the Pan fried pork funds were very juicy and flavorful. They also had free green bean dessert. The total came out to be around $66 before tip, which is pretty reasonable. I will definitely be back to try other items. Definitely put them on your bookmark to try! read more

The beef noodle soup was the highlight of the meal. The broth was incredibly flavorful, and the noodles tasted fresh with the perfect amount of chew. The pickled vegetables in the soup were balanced just right and brought back a lot of nostalgia for my family and me. The dumplings were also very good, especially the xiao long bao. They were juicy and well-made. The filling was slightly sweeter than I personally prefer for savory dishes, but my family really enjoyed them overall. One unique touch was the porridge that's offered - self serve buffet style. On the day we visited, it was complimentary, though I understand it's available for a small charge (around $4 per person) on other days. My mom absolutely loved it--it felt like a comforting reminder of home. The service was good and about what you'd expect from a Chinese restaurant. The restaurant was relatively quiet when we visited, but there was still a bit of a wait when ordering and paying the check. Since it's a new restaurant, I imagine they're still working through some of the usual growing pains. Restaurant is spacious and clean, comfortable environment. Overall, I would happily bring my parents back, especially for the beef noodle soup. Parking is very convenient, with a parking structure located directly behind the restaurant in the same building. read more

I have to admit I loved this place so much that I came twice the same day! I first dined with Yelp friends for lunch, then my personal family for dinner. The service was especially great for dinner, when our food came out so fast our table was full in a few minutes. Their style and decor wowed me, having a sort of futuristic appeal. The food tasted fresh and not warmed over with just the right amount of spice and heat. Our lunch service was equally good but did miss a few items ordered by the other end of the long table. It's understandable with such a large crowd. This is such a convenient location with a parking structure and easy access. read more

Modern decor dumpling house. Complimentary appetizers include peanuts, seaweed, and black fungus. I ordered: * Pan-Fried Kurobuta Pork Buns - 4/5 ($7.98) * Meat & Kurobuta Pork Soup Dumplings - 3.5/5 ($8.98) * Hand-Pulled Spicy Cabbage - 3.5/5 ($9.98) * Braised Beef Noodle Soup - 2.5/5 ($19.98) The beef wasn't tender enough, and the soup base was just okay. For almost $20, I expected a bit more. The other dishes were reasonably priced and tasted decent. Easy to find indoor parking or you can park across the street read more

Came here the other day for dinner with my mom. It wasn't too busy so we were seated right away. We ordered the pork and crab soup dumplings and the regular pork soup dumplings. Flavor was good, but the skins were a bit too thin and kept breaking when we picked them up, so we lost most of the soup which was kind of disappointing. We also got the pan fried buns which I really liked. The bottoms were extra crispy and the filling was juicy. The homestyle chicken and egg fried rice was surprisingly good too, had a nice wok flavor. We also ordered the stir fried bok choy which was simple but tasty. They give you a small complimentary appetizer and hot tea which was a nice touch. Overall a solid meal. I'd come back to try more of the menu next time. read more

A new XLB restaurant in town and it slapped, HARD!!!! The spicy wontons were the best I've ever had, and I prefer it to Ding Tai Fung's. It's different but super flavorful and has a nice peanuty kick. We also ordered the stir fried string beans, which were tasty enough, and their big XLB. This is where I was a bit disappointed - it barely had any filling in it and was mainly skin and soup. It was still very flavorful and tasty, but the lack of meat was disappointing. Restaurant is definitely new and nicely decorated with lots of natural light. Service was efficient and kind. There's a free parking structure next to it, and has multiple levels so it wasn't too hard to find a spot. Will definitely return to try their XLB. Hopefully it has more filling than the big version. read more

First time was Sunday around 12 & it wasn't too busy yet. Place order through QR code We ordered about 9 or 10 dishes & the total was about $120 which is pretty good I liked the variety of food & how they made their own twists to their dishes unlike the traditional ways of making it (like the spicy wonton had sesame sauce, not my favorite but unique) Tables favorites dishes: shao mai, onion pancake, xlb, green beans The noodles tasted like a restaurant version of Indomie, Chinese burger had a great crispy breading but meat a little dry, chicken soy sauce fried rice was a bit bland, & the large crab xlb was just okay and had little filling I would come back for the favorites & to try other dishes read more

Went to check out Bao Master in Alhambra since it's been on my list to try. They have been opened for a couple months so decided to pay them a visit. When we arrived there were about 2 other tables there. You order off a QR code and the staff brings your orders to the table. The items were pretty affordable as we ordered a lot of small dishes and sides. For a party of 4 and a toddler we ordered about 10 items. We ordered the cucumbers, pickles veggies, pork soup dumplings, braised gluten, beef rolls, hot and sour soup, spicy wontons, glutinous rice dumplings, pork chop fried rice and pan fried pork buns. Half the items were under $10 as they were side dishes and nothing was over $20. The items that amazes my table were the pork soup dumplings, glutinous rice dumplings and pan fried pork buns. The pork soup dumplings had a thin layer of skin and the dumpling was very soupy. This was toddler approved as she ate most of the order. The meat was flavorful and it didn't really need any sauce. The glutinous rice dumplings was the talk of the table. It was not only soft but full of flavor. They loaded up the sticky rice with seasoning and meat and we wanted more. The pan fried pork buns must be eaten with caution. They were burning hot and you needed to make a slit for it to cool down. The bottom of the hh was super crispy and had a nice crunch. Everything else was average or above average. Didn't think anything was bad and it was all a good price. Would definitely be coming back to try their other items. read more

Order through a qr code from the table, it doesnt matter if theres multiple phones as it updates and tells you who adds it. To me bao masters isnt too salty. I love the fried rice and it had the perfect amount of salt. The pork xlb was good too. It feels like its on the smaller side, but there was 50% soup and meat ratio. The big mac xlb was a disappointment though. I was expecting it to be the size of the steamer. It was alot smaller than i thought and it was basically all soup and a little bit of crab. I dont even think there was pork in it. That was the only reason i knocked a star off. Next time i wouldnt get that but id try their other items. read more

最近不曉得為什麼，到處都是新開的包子，小籠包店，昨天元宵節，到downtown 的天后宮去祈福，順便來探這家也開有兩個多月的 Bao Master 我覺得這家店是可惜的，不論環境， 服務， 出菜的效率， 整潔，價格，一開始還送精美小菜，整體感覺都很棒，但是試了七道菜， 我跟朋友兩個都覺得只有小籠包是好吃的，他們家的小籠包皮薄，餡做的也不錯，蛋炒飯也行，其他的，都大概在70~75分上下，非常普通，跟員工聊天才知道原來這一家是36宴的老闆們開的，整棟大樓都是他們的，所以環境，硬體沒話說，跟36 宴給我的感覺很像， 環境有下重本，但是東西沒有那麼好吃, 小姐服務非常好, 這點是值得嘉獎的 read more

Got that dumpling craving and was nearby so gave this place a try. This place has that giant soup dumpling so if you like social media food influencing, give it a try. I personally didn't try but I got a bunch of other items and it was delicious. Price is a little higher but the quality of the food is good. Staff is really nice and made sure to tell me that the dessert, congee, and red bean rice soup was free today. The sign says $2.99 ayce for that part, so not sure if it's only free on the weekdays. But glad it was free for us. Also, definitely try the signature dishes like house special Chinese burger and the crab meat scallion noodles. If you're like me and like a little spice, ask for chili oil! The place also has calming Chinese music that I like so it was a relaxing meal for me. read more

Came here on a Thursday night for a quick carb fix. We ordered an assortment of dumplings and a stir fried noodle. I was surprised that the food wasn't overly oily/ greasy and lighter on the salt. The stir fry noodle was definitely lighter than typical even in color. The wasn't particularly busy with plenty of parking spaces in the lot behind. There is also an ayce congee section in the restaurant for $2.99 which had three porridge options to supplement your meal. read more

I like this place. We went for a late lunch and it wasnt too busy (5 tables eating). Love places you order from the phone but always bad for elder generations. I am surprised that day a lot of bao dishes wasnt available considering it is a BAO MASTER. We ordered a few things to try - potstickers, XLB, scallion oil noodles, and the oversize crab and pork soup dumpling. XLB - 5/5. Potstickers 4/5 (it broke a bit too easy), scallion oil noodles 6/5 (yes, it was good), and oversize pork soup dumpling - 3/5. It was a bit fishy from the crab roe, i dont have a problem with it but im sure others would. Its tucked off the street of Main where it is not that obvious to spot. But the place is spacious and modern. Oh there is an AYCE porridge station, looks kind of delicious so maybe next time. read more

Note there isn't clear signage but you need to check in on the stand that says Chowbus to be put on the waitlist for a table. I wasn't too sure because there was no staff at the front and there was a crowd around the kiosk so I didn't realize that we had to check in. Overall the dumplings are semi-competition to Good Alley in my opinion. However a few notes hence the 4 stars and where it has room for improvement: + Crab XLB: skin is thin and well done. I love the amount of soup. That being said, the crab isn't noticeable flavor wise. + pan fried buns: These are very good as well. The bao skin is chewy and the inside is flavorful although my fiance still doesn't think both the dishes beat what Good Alley offers. + oil scallion noodles: This is where I took off the star. The flavor was very lacking. While the noodles were done fine, I didn't taste much flavor on this and it's going to be a pass for me. read more

Their xlb was great! I also liked their scallion noodles! Their pan fried dumplings were crunchy at the bottom and nice and soft at the top. It was nice to try their large xlb where they give you a straw to drink the soup inside. It's hard to eat the skin so it makes sense why generally they make the xlb small. The service was friendly and they let me bring in my dog! read more

New restaurant in Alhambra - located in the Bakesic structure. We ordered a bunch of dishes but the highlights were the hot and sour fish and their pan fried buns. I would skip the beef roll and their XLB because they were cold and underwhelming. The restaurant was busy so service was definitely lacking. We did not have the correct number of plates and utensils and our cups were all give to us extremely dirty (I wish I took photos). I had go to and get utensils myself. I also had to stand up and pay because no one would come get the check. They also got our order wrong but they were so busy that I just wanted to leave instead of complaining. read more

Finally went to try the newly opened Bao Master and enjoyed the XLB! The kurabota pork and crab xlb was very flavorful and had a good ratio of filling and wrapper. Also tried the extra large soup xlb and it was so fun to eat. They give you a straw to drink the soup inside but just need to be careful as it's very hot. Service was fast and friendly. A great place to eat with family or group of friends! read more

Came to Bao Master over the weekend with hubby for the first time. I was a bit disappointed that they didn't have all the items from the menu I saw from online, because I wanted to try their Dan Dan Noodle. One other thing was while we were eating, I did feel like one of the servers kept rushing us. I was obviously still eating our food, and first she brought the check asking us if we wanted to pay, but then she said we could our time. Then as I was literally eating the last bite of my soup, she came and asked if we were ready to pay yet. That was a bit irksome. Anyway, they do offer a small tray of appetizers including seaweed, woodear mushrooms, and roasted salt peanuts. You order by scanning the QR code on each dining table and all dishes are submitted through a ChowBus link. We ordered more of their baos and dumplings to try their namesake and thought it was all fairly decent. They have a huge bottle of the sweet black vinegar to use for xiaolongbaos on each table, and soy sauce. -Hot & Sour Soup (for two) was okay. Not sour or spicy enough for hubby & I's preference so we added a little of the table's vinegar to our bowls for taste. -Kurobata Pork Soup Dumplings were good. Pretty thin skin and good soup content. Best eaten right away when hot, not as good cold. -Pan Fried Kurobata Pork Buns were standard. -Spicy Shrimp & Kurobata Pork Wontons, were not spicy. Mild flavor with either a light sesame or peanut sauce and chili oil. We added the table's vinegar to taste. -Garlic Sauteed String Beans were standard. You have to order rice on the side, wok dishes do not come with it. Portions are a little bit on the small side, but we enjoyed enough to merit another visit. Will be back to try other dishes. read more

Let's check out this Jiangnan-style restaurant that opened in LA late last year! The space is still very new and clean, without the greasy feel that some traditional snack shops can have. And one thing I noticed during lunch: there were lots of grandparents dining there, and they all looked like regulars. I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but restaurants that are popular with older customers are usually pretty good, and the prices tend to be reasonable too! 【Kurobuta Soup Dumplings】 My first test for any Jiangnan restaurant is always the classic pork soup dumplings. And right now they're on special for just $3.99 a basket! I honestly can't remember the last time I saw that price in LA. Next time I come by myself, I'll probably order two baskets and pair them with their free porridge for the perfect meal. The wrappers are fairly thin, and each bite is full of soup. You can definitely tell they're freshly made. 【Giant Crab Roe & Kurobuta Soup Dumpling】 Alhambra finally has one of these! Whenever I'm back in Suzhou, I buy one and sip the soup while walking around. This version is generously filled with both crab roe and pork. After drinking the soup, I like adding a little vinegar and enjoying the filling. So satisfying. 【Crab Roe Scallion Oil Noodles】 And thank goodness they don't use sea crab! The noodles are springy and the flavors are very balanced. My husband likes mixing in a bit of vinegar, which cuts through the richness and makes it even more delicious. 【Shanghai Three-Delicacy Shaomai】 This is exactly the type of shaomai I grew up eating. When I first moved to LA, I honestly wasn't used to Cantonese-style siu mai at all. The sticky rice on top is packed with mushroom and pork flavors. Absolutely unbeatable. 【Pan-Fried Kurobuta Pork Buns】 Proceed with caution! These are incredibly juicy and packed with soup. You really need to eat them while they're piping hot for the full experience. The bun itself stays soft and fluffy. Very satisfying. 【Shanghai Wonton Soup】 After all those carbs, I needed something warm and comforting. The broth has to have seaweed, dried shrimp, and scallions to feel authentic. The wonton wrappers are thin, but the filling is surprisingly generous. Lately I haven't been eating much spicy food, and this bowl somehow reminded me of my life before moving abroad, when I ate light, comforting meals every day. 【Pork Chop Fried Rice】 The fried pork chop has a slight Japanese-style vibe to it. I expected the fried rice to be fairly standard, but it ended up being a pleasant surprise. And one more thing! They offer three different kinds of porridge for free refills, and none of them are pre-sweetened. You can add sugar yourself if you'd like, which feels healthier and more thoughtful. It's a small detail, but I really appreciated it. read more

Been wanting to try this restaurant and finally had a chance today by ordering to go. First off, their opening time is listed as 11 am but no one picked up the phone the 3 times I called between 11 and 11:25. They finally picked up around 11:28 AM, and even then, I don't think they were ready for customers. Their computer wasn't ready yet and they didn't have all their menu items available. I ordered a pork dumpling (the XLB), pan fried pork buns, house special Chinese pork burger, and the classic scallion oil noodles. I was told my order would be ready in 20 minutes and not surprisingly, 20 minutes later when I arrived, it was not ready yet. I ended up waiting an additional 10 minutes before my order was ready. Portions are pretty small here but food tasted pretty good. Their pan fried pork buns are really juicy and flavorful. I want to come back and try their other noodles though. Their to go boxes and bags are also pretty fancy looking. read more

This place was such a let down. When I saw that they had the viral crab roe noodles, I decided to come here for dinner with my bf. The place look well decorated but knowing that they had just opened 4 months ago, you'd think that it's poorly maintained and decorated with cheap materials. Because how is one restroom out of order and the only other one working doesn't have a door handle but instead you have to pull it open with a zip tie. Anyways, we ordered via tablet and got the Chilled Cucumber with Yuzu Sauce, Spicy Shrimp & Kurobuta Pork Wonton, Crab Meat & Scallion Noodles, Kurobuta Pork & Crab XLB, & Sautéed Garlic String Beans. Chilled Cucumber with Yuzu Sauce: 0/5. The cucumber looked it has been marinating in the fridge for more than a week. Didn't taste fresh. Had no crunch nor was there any yuzu flavor. Also, it looks nothing like the photo on the menu. Spicy Shrimp & Kurobuta Pork Wonton: 1/5. Drenched in peanut sauce and that's all you taste Crab Meat & Scallion Noodles: 2/5. Not enough crab, not much flavor, noodles were overcooked, very oily. Kurobuta Pork & Crab XLB: 4/5. Pretty good. Had a good amount of filling, lots of soup and really thin wrapper. Sautéed Garlic String Beans: 3/5. The flavor was good. I like the minced meat but the beans were not fresh. In conclusion, I would not be back or recommend this place. There are plenty of good XLB restaurants in the area and this was not one of them. read more

When searching new restaurants in the area, I found this interesting dumpling place called Bao Master, located in Alhambra at the corner of Main St and Garfield Ave. This restaurant is located where Kyoto Gyukatsu and Habit are, but it is in the back of the mall and isolated to itself. Nonetheless, I visited to give it a try. We went on a weekend, and were seated quite quickly. The staff are very nice. The restaurant has a cozy vibe to it. We ordered through QR codes, which is quite trendy these days. We ended up sharing some pan fried soup dumplings and some shanghai rice cakes. There were some peanuts and pickled vegetables complimentary, which were nice. The rice cakes were not too salty and the flavor was solid. The pan fried soup dumplings were quite juicy but a bit small. Overall, solid dumpling restaurant for San Gabriel Valley. read more

This is a welcome addition to the Alhambra area. When I visited the restaurant was quite busy, even for a Friday night but we were seated quite quickly. The interior of the restaurant is well lit and has a modern aesthetic to it. Dishes we ordered were the pan-fried dumplings with pork and shrimp, pork rib fried rice, and crab roe scallion noodles. The highlight of the meal was the crab roe scallion noodles, the texture of the noodles was firm and springy and the crab roe offered a nice distinct flavor. The pan-fried dumplings were also good; however, the fried rice was a bit lacking in flavor. I think other places around the area such as Good Alley or Thumbling make a better fried rice. However, I am glad that this place opened in Alhambra as it's close to home. read more

Newly opened Chinese food with really tasty dishes and friendly service. I came to try out their soup dumplings since I heard lots of good things about this place.

Upon arriving, we were seated right away and was served a small plate of complimentary cold appertizers which were all delicious. We ordered two kinds of XLB, chicken pot stickers, another kind of soup dumpling, fried rice and crab roe noodles. Everything came fresh, hot and delicious. The portions are also huge for the price.

Trying this new restaurant during their soft opening. The cucumber salad was good with a unique taste to how they were marinated. The black mushroom appetizer was also good but the more you ate, the stronger the flavor profile got. The spicy beef noodle soup had a different profile taste than all the others we've tried, the flavor seemed subtle. I really like the chili wontons, that's my favorite dish. Customer service was good, you placed your order from QR code on the table. read more

I took my mom here to celebrate her birthday (my mom wanted dumplings) and I wish I took her somewhere else. We didn't had to wait long on Saturday, but service could of been better. So we ordered the foods via the QR code. The food came before they gave us water. Not off to a good start. We ordered a few items, cucumber salad, beef noodle, pork XLB, gluten wheat appetizer, beef rolls, and fried wagyu bao. Out of all the dishes, the wagyu bao was the best. Everything else was mid. But I will say, the cucumber salad we ordered was weird or just maybe not to my taste. The cucumber salad was super sweet...it had a sweet soy sauce taste. It was so sweet, in my opinion that i thought I was eating a dessert dish. Later on, it got pretty busy and it was hard to catch our server for additional items (soy sauce, extra napkins). We also ordered a drink togo and that took forever to come out. Didn't notice the ambiance much, but when you walk in at the store front, you'll see a mascot statue that reminds me of the din tai fung mascot. Overall, this place wouldn't be my first choice for dumplings since we have alot of other options in the area. read more
