As soon as my son and I stepped in we were greeted with a warm welcome. The cashier was very patient and polite with us. The food was prepared fresh and was delicious. We tried the garlic shrimp rice bowl, garlic shrimp noodle bowl, KFC bao and pew pew shrimp banh mi. I will be a returning customer read more

Bao Mi is a FQF must have. Nothing like a nice fresh bao hun with the crispy shrimp or chicken in a tangy sweet sauce. I got both so I didn't have any FOMO. I'll be back to the storefront for lunch soon! read more

Quick and delicious meal in Mid-City. I got the pork and shrimp spring rolls and an order (2) of pork belly bao, with cabbage and jalapeño. The rolls were made with fresh veg and were stuffed fat with noodles and protein. The richness of the peanut sauce made them even better. The pork belly bao was unwieldy -- the protein was almost larger than the bun on one -- but the ginger honey garlic sauce had me licking my fingers anyway. read more

Bao Mi - Braised Pork Belly Bao - Asian Fusion Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Best Bulgogi fries in the city ! The pulled chicken banh mi is one of my favorite sandwiches in the city! And it is the cheapest sandwich on their menu!!! (Get it before they raise the price) I get the shaken beef and rice always too! I always look forward to their creative specials. Their Citrus Butter wings were a great unique flavor. They are constantly using clean oil in their frier and i you can tell because all of their fried food comes out full of flavor. Place is always clean! (You can see the kitchen at all times) And they are so quick to cook your food! (So rare to find a fast place in New Orleans) read more

Great food, service was okay, ambiance was what they could make of it. The flavors of the food, and the visuals were a two for one. They definitely made up for it in the product that I came for and that was all that mattered at the time. It's really small inside and they made great use of the available square footage for seating purposes. It's definitely a grab and go kind of place. So calling and ordering ahead is probably best. If you're into the whole bao movement this is definitely a must try. If not they still have something for you to try. You'll be surprised, and satisfied it will be a great collaboration for your taste buds. read more

Bao Mi - Exterior entrance - Asian Fusion Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I was really surprised, but the portion size is pretty good. The cut must be chicken thighs, because it was pretty juicy, but it's definitely dark meat. It also has a pinch of carrots and cucumbers in the bowl as well. The food took about 10 or 15 minutes to come out. They have some indoor seating, so I ate at the countertop that's at the window/wall. Best part is that it's on a side street off of Tulane, so no paid parking. Yes!!! read more

I ordered the Sampler. I chose the pork belly, pew pew shrimp, and the kfc. They were made fresh to order. All three of these were delicious!! Seriously you can't go wrong with any of those choices. If I had to rank them: 3. Shrimp 2. KFC 1. Pork belly They were all good but the pork belly was just next level flavorful. I can't wait to try their other options!! read more

I ordered take out from here via Uber eats. I tried the vermicelli bowl with pork and an egg roll as well as the KFC chicken bao. I expected the chicken to at least come covered with a sauce like traditional Korean fried chicken and it didn't which was a bummer. It was still delicious though. I liked my vermicelli as well. I would try it again and try some different things next time. read more

I've been here twice and really enjoyed the food both times. I visited here most recently on yesterday and ordered the lemongrass chicken vermicelli bowl that comes with a delicious sauce that you can pour over it. I also ordered the shrimp spring rolls that come with a tasty peanut sauce. The food is so flavorful. It's not a big place but there are tables and so we ate inside. We also managed to find street parking. The staff person who took my order at the counter was friendly. This is a place that I will likely come to again and again. read more

Amazing! We ordered the pew pew bahn mi, the grilled pork bahn mi, the combo spring rolls, & the bulgogi bao. The food was so delicious! My daughter swears the pork bahn mi was the best she's ever had but I fell in love with the pew pew bahn mi which is their version of bang bang shrimp. It was absolutely delicious. The spring rolls were great but my absolute fav were the bulgogi bao buns. What amazing flavors and the buns were golden and slightly crispy on the outside which I have never seen before. It added the perfect amount of texture and just made everything so good. I might dream about them, lol. Just go and check them out! read more

The food here is bursting with Asian fusion flavor! Staff are wonderful and the service is very quick and fast. It's located in the heart of New Orleans downtown medical center so if your there, be sure to stop by! There is plenty of street parking. I tried the shrimp banh mi and the bulgolgi fries. Both were delicious! The shrimp was marinated with some sauce that reminds me of the bang bang shrimp from bonefish grill. The fries were a perfect blend of beef, sauces and fries. Can't wait to come back to try the other menu items! read more

Bao Mi - Combo Braised Pork Belly Bao, KFC Bao, and Beef Bulgogi Bao. Delicious! - Asian Fusion Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This place is on the side of a building so you've probably passed it and didn't even know it. We saw the sign go up behind our usual smoothie king and wondered what it was. When we realized it was bao we already knew we had to try them. We ordered the KFC bao and the bulgogi fries. Both were great choices. I can't wait to go back and try more things. read more

I finally had a day where I could make to Bao Mi during a weekday and try them out. We got the beef bulgogi fries, an order of the bulgogi bao and an order of the KFC bao. The fries were delicious! The beef was cooked well and there was a nice spicy mayo on top of crunchy fries. The bao from the bulgogi bao are fried which adds a nice crunch, I definitely enjoyed those more than the KFC bao. Those had a slightly sweet flavor that I didn't care for. The jalapeño limeade has a nice sour and slightly spicy taste. read more

The kfc sliders were ok...I would return to try something else..but I was not impressed.

I ordered through Uber Eats and the packaging was super cute. It set the stage for what I believed would be a very flavorful meal. Well...everything else went downhill from the point. I tried the KFC baos and there was nothing KFC about the chicken. It seemed like a low quality cut of meat and it was flavorless. The bulgolgi beef baos were better, but still lacking flavor. That was unfortunate because they looked delicious. Overall, I wasn't impressed with my food and the baos here are super expensive compared to other tastier places. read more

I am truly at a loss compared to what other are saying. I ordered take out via telephone. The prices are outrageous for what you get and the quality and taste were subpar. The garlic shrimp vermicelli: the mint leaves would have been a nice addition had they not been black. 1/3 of the box constituted a large container of fish sauce-small portion of the actual meal. The garlic shrimp sauce was pretty boring. Very little meat in the spring roll, but the grilled pork that was there was very good. I liked the addition of the lettuce leaf in it, as well. Given the plethora of other excellent Vietnamese restaurants in the area, I will not be retuning. read more

New restaurant near my work! We watched this place as it moved towards opening and cheered when the sign went up. And this week I finally remember to go over and get lunch! I ordered tofu bao (new on the menu this week) and shrimp spring rolls. Both were delicious. The bao was nice and spicy and I was worried about the texture of the bao and the tofu together but it was great. Plus my spring rolls were huge. I also tried the kumquat jasmine tea which was more like an Arnold Palmer to my surprise. Tasty but probably not my thing. Service was great and speedy. There are some seats for dining in, but we took our food to go. Can't wait to go back. read more

Wow! Brand new Vietnamese fusion restaurant located downtown, just a few footsteps away from LSUHSC. The location is extremely convenient, and there is plenty of garage and street parking available. I stopped in today to check out the menu, but was told the soft opening is tomorrow. The staff are fantastic! They were so friendly and were happy to show me a menu. I've attached a photo, although I was told that they will be expanding the menu in the future. The current menu appears to offer something for everyone - whether you're a meat lover or vegetarian, I'm sure everyone in your crew will be able to find something that suits you. The interior is modern and super clean. I can't wait to update my review once I get to try the food, especially their Vietnamese Iced Coffee. Go out and give some support to this new, local business!

Only photo I was able to take was of the Bulgogi fries because I couldn't help but dive in mouth first. Bao Mi just opened up and it's definitely worth trying. The food shmacks and comes out fresh, hot and quick. I ordered the egg rolls, bulgogi fries, a pew pew shrimp banh mi and beef bulgogi banh mi. Everything hit, this place doesn't miss. Definitely will be eating here a lot especially since it's down the street from where I live. 10 out 10 recommend. read more

Grabbed a bite from their pop-up at the Nola Nite Market. The bulgogi fries were a stand-out dish- the fries were light and crispy on the outside yet soft and fluffy on the outside. The sauce added a spicy little kick, and the tender, juicy beef brought the whole thing home. The Pork Belly bao was a much lighter treat in comparison: tender, glazed pork belly combatted with the light cabbage on top and the crunch of the peanuts. Will definitely be stopping into their location to sample more delicious bites from their menu. read more

Food was amazing! Service was excellent! We thoroughly enjoyed the food. Treated like family. Ambiance nice too.

Bao Mi is the newest kid on the block in the medical center corridor, and I think its safe to say they will be able to hold their own when compared to other restaurants the area. I was lucky enough to get a bite to eat there at their soft opening on Thursday, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. Although the original plan was to eat inside, our littlest kiddo was taking a nap... so to go it is! Matt ordered the Pew Pew Shrimp Banh Mi, Vietnamese Egg Rolls, Spring Rolls and a couple of Vietnamese Iced Coffees, which we enjoyed right outside of the restaurant thanks to the plentiful street parking! There's also a parking garage directly across the street, which will become a convenient necessity as this place gains popularity. Now this is important - they use DONG PHUONG bread y'all! So you know the Banh Mi is going to be good. Our Banh Mi was full of flavor and a bit of spice thanks to the Bang Bang sauce and fresh jalapeno slivers hidden under the large fried shrimp. The egg rolls were crispy and the filling was unique in that it combined ground pork AND ground shrimp. Although I've definitely never had this type of filling before, it was definitely tasty especially paired with the sweet chili sauce. The spring roll ingredients were super fresh, which is always evident in this type of dish - otherwise the exterior gets dry and too chewy. These were unique in that they included cucumber! I've never had a spring roll with cucumber, but it was actually a nice surprise! The cooling effect of the cucumber paired nicely with the spice from the sriracha in the peanut sauce, so I really enjoyed this combination. The iced coffees were perfect - not too bitter or sweet, and a great little kick of caffeine to get you through that afternoon slump. I would say their soft opening was undoubtedly a success. I definitely recommend giving these locals your business, while getting yourself some amazing food in the process! read more

The staff is VERY friendly. I don't even think I waited 10 minutes for my food. The fries were beautiful but it's a no from me.

My coworkers and I grabbed lunch from this nice spot. We decided to all get something different because we couldn't decide. Everything looked so good and the food did not disappoint. The Pew Pew Banh Mi is to die for--we all agreed!!! The shrimp were fried nicely, not hard and the flavors really paired well together. My favorite! The pulled pork was tender and flavorful. It came with a house BBQ sauce that complimented it well. Last, we tried two of the Lent specials: Garlic Butter Shrimp Banh Mi and Fried Catfish Banh Mi. The Catfish was fried golden brown, crispy like I like, seasoned well but the lemon aioli was a bit strong. The garlic shrimp made the bread a little soggy but was still edible. Not as tasty as the others we've tried but still a good one. *Not pictured: Bulgogi Fries. You want this, trust me. You will not be disappointed. Tender beef, cilantro, onions ON FRIES!! And, they give you plenty. It was large enough for 4 of us to share. We're addicted and have already been six times in the last two weeks. The staff are friendly and service was excellent, which makes for an even better experience. read more

Great service. The pew pew shrimp bao mi's are really good. And the provide complementary water in this heat.

Def a 9/10! It's a little hard to find but def worth it when you taste the food there! I recommend getting a kfc Bao mi and a bulgogi Bao mi your first time so you can try both popular items. Also highly recommend the bulgogi fries!!!!! The food is pretty great and the staff are friendly. The only downside is the dining area. It's pretty small so don't go in with a big group! read more
