A great little place to stop for Vietnamese food (and adjacent foods, at least in the American culinary mind). I simply got bao buns -- seemed appropriate, plus what is better than a good pork bao bun? And these were excellent. Some of the best in-a-restaurant pork bao buns I've encountered. Interior seating and atmosphere is somewhat less than bare bones -- a few communal tables, and a few little metal high tops; it fits the small bao shop aesthetic, though it's always a little dispiriting to sit at a table that's still dirty from multiple previous meals. But, the bao buns were great -- very flavorful char siu style pork, and a very evenly distributed amount of little extras to keep the pork company. And the buns themselves were perfect. read more

Really enjoyed this spot for a quick lunch. Quality Vietnamese food all around and for a very reasonable price. The interior space is small, but can hold a good group if not too busy. Takeout seems very common here as well. 2 additional tables outside if the weather is nice. Went with a pork banh mi sandwich and fresh shrimp rolls. Everything was made to order and came out quickly. Rolls were huge! Fresh and tasty all around. Pork was tender and full of flavor, bread itself was also super fresh with a great crunch. The food alone is 5 stars, but the prices would raise the bar to 5+ stars if possible. The value you get for what you pay is amazing. Almost everything on the extensive menu is $11 or less, and many in the range of $6-$7 including my sandwich and spring rolls. When you're paying $15-$20 at many other places for the same thing, you can see the value here. Compare this to the rising costs in the fast food industry for significantly less quality food, and you can consider this a steal. Great spot for a quick lunch, takeout, or dinner with a few friends and family at a place that doesn't break the bank. read more

Came to try this place for the first time. It was empty when I walked in on Monday at 6:30 PM but there are people coming in and out for takeout. Got the beef pho and it was way too savory for me, too much salt, msg, and pepper. Had to add some water to lighten it. Maybe some of their other items are better but the pho was kinda not very good. read more

This is my first time in. I have been wanting to try this place for years. I'm so glad I did. This is my first time ever having Banh Mi. I chose the pork (sweeter kind not the bbq) it was really good. I liked the sweet flavor but I think I would probably like barbecue better so I'm excited to try that next time. The bread was perfectly crispy and the seasonings and fresh herbs were great. There is limited seating, but we grabbed one of the last seats and the place filled up super fast. The person taking orders was also serving food, drinks - working so hard. They did a great job! I think the food is pretty affordable compared to other places. I will definitely be back. read more

Yesterday I decided to place a to-go order for the first time at Bao Bao where I witnessed the person taking the order greet only the white people in the store. When people came to order they were greeted if they were Caucasian and when they picked up their food, they were thanked. There were Black people in the store as well as Latino people in the store who were not thanked or greeted when they ordered from this minority owned restaurant. I could tell that the non-minority people who ordered were not regulars, but they were made to feel welcome. If you're into racist establishments and your color fits, Bao Bao is the place for you. read more

Great spot for Thai food! The food is consistently delicious, the service is always excellent, and they offer a nice selection of teas. The prices are very affordable, making it a great value. Definitely recommend! read more

Tiny hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese and Thai places are often among the best of their kind, and so I had reason to be hopeful for BaoBao Kitchen despite its limited dimensions. While BaoBao is small (a few tables with limited space between them), the menu is not. Buns, rolls, curries, pho, rice dishes, banh mi, and more are yours for the taking. BaoBao even offers all-day breakfast, a rarity among Vietnamese eateries in the area. Dining solo, I went with pork bao buns, shrimp fresh rolls, and a hibiscus tea. Though BaoBao was busy, the crew here seems adept at getting food out quickly. I enjoyed most of what I had. The tea was sweet with a tangy note and especially refreshing on a warm day. They definitely didn't skimp on the bao bun toppings, and while their sheer sauciness led to some structural integrity challenges, that also made for a very tasty bite. Unlike other establishments, BaoBao serves three rolls to an order rather than two. However, they are short and smaller. As they were also chewier, this is probably not something I'd opt for again. Provided that you aren't coming in with a large group, BaoBao seems like a reliable option for modestly priced Vietnamese eats. I've yet to try the banh mi or the pho to see how they stack up, but I'll know to keep this place in mind the next time I'm in the area and want a quick bite. read more

Vegan reviewer here! I found my new favorite restaurant in Greensboro. I came in on Tuesday for the first time for a late lunch. The restaurant was small but there were some people dining in. The order process was easy and a lady took my order and I took a seat. They have ample vegan options with tofu and vegan ribs as a protein source on their bahn mi, spring rolls or the pho. I opted for the vegan spring rolls with vegan ribs, the tofu pho and a Thai tea with coconut milk. The order did take a while to prepare, just under 25 minutes but the food was delicious! I'm use to my tofu pho having more vegetables but the broth was so tasty! The portion size isn't as big as other places but it was just enough for me to finish in one sitting. The vegan ribs spring rolls were my favorite! I knew on the first bite I needed an order to go. Highly recommend and honestly the best spring rolls I've had. They come in orders of 3 and come with a peanut type sauce. I ordered the vegan bahn mi to go as well as more spring rolls because I knew I'd want to eat here later tonight. The staff was friendly and the food was fresh. I also witnessed the staff handle a very rude and impatient customer and they were very cordial. I'd highly recommend! read more

Ever since BaoBao Kitchen opened, I have tried to visit for lunch every month or so. Not just to give them my business but also because I have literal cravings for their food. In all of my visits, have tried many items off of their menu and have been satisfied every time. My new favorite item is the lunch special basil tofu over vermicelli. The flavor is outstanding and has a little kick. I'm not a vegetarian but love their tofu for some reason!! Everything from the lemongrass chicken, to the curry lemongrass fried rice, to steak pho and pad thai, everything is delicious. My only complaint is they usually don't put enough tofu or protein on the dish, compared to the rest of the ingredients. Like one time I think I had 6 pieces of tofu and the rest was noodles. The flavor was on point, but I wanted more tofu! All this said, this is definitely one of my favorite Asian restaurants in the GSO area! read more

This restaurant holds a special place in my heart as it is my go to lunch meal if I am craving Vietnamese food or a yummy drink. I love their crab fried rice with the yum yum sauce and their basil chicken lunchbox is such a good deal. Their jasmine milk tea is also very flavorful. The service can take some time so I just make sure to call 20 minutes before I'm ready to eat to pick up the food. Also it's a nice casual place to eat with friends. read more

I was craving vietnamese food. Since it was lunchtime their busy. This is the only place in the triad that serves banh mi's on Monday. The banh mi was good but not the traditional way. It's my first time here. I will be back to try more on the menu. In addition, I found out that they make banh coun a popular vietnamese appetizer, kind of like a asian rice crepe. It's hard to find a place that makes fresh vietnamese banh cuon. All the food we ordered was delicious. A great place for lunch. There are a few tables outside to sit. It was a bit of a challenge to find parking during lunch, considering shared parking with the other businesses around. read more

BaoBao has a few tables to dine in. This seems to be more of a take out spot. The menu is not overwhelming, but I am disappointed that I didn't spot their special drink menu until half way through my meal. There is a drink menu to the left of the register. The drinks in the fridge to the left were eye catching and I thought that was all they had to offer until I spotted a drink coming from the back to gentleman sitting in the restaurant. So while ordering, take a peek at the drink menu or ask about the special drinks. As you walk in, the delicious aroma will make your stomach growl. I decided to get the chicken mixed vegetable hot box. It came with nicely seasoned chicken, mixed vegetables in a beautiful sauce with noodles. You have the choice to get it with rice. Before my food arrived, I took a long gaze at the restaurant. There were some cookbooks on the walls and sauces on the tables with very cute flowers to finish up the decorations. The cohesive decorations make the place a very cozy spot to eat a good meal. I loved my meal. It was simple, filling and enriched with the right amount of season. You could really taste the freshness of each impressive ingredient. This was a stop worth my while. I will return and this time I will be well prepared to venture out into the menu. read more

So delicious and generous portions. I got the king mushroom curry. It was so meaty. I have not seen this dish elsewhere. We also got the fresh rolls with shrimp and they were truly fresh.

First time trying Vietnamese food. It was delicious. I highly recommend coming here if your in the area. I ordered the beef pho, pork spring rolls, and the pork bao bun. Beef pho was rich in flavors, spices I couldn't even place but felt like a drop of gold on my tounge. Spring rolls were crispy and flavorful. Bao bun was doughy (in a good way) and combined pork with great sauce and some other ingredients. Service was good. Overall pretty limited space inside but it made it feel nice and cozy. This is not a whole on the wall place like others said. If you want to try something new or just some delicious Vietnamese food, I exhort you to come here. read more

Bao Bao Kitchen is hands down my go-to pho spot here in Greensboro! I've been coming here since I moved in the summer of 2020, and it never disappoints. I'm always on the hunt for a place that offers really good vegetarian or vegan pho, and Bao Bao absolutely nails it. Their pho is flavorful, comforting, and perfect every time. They also have delicious banh mi--my favorite is the tofu banh mi, which is always fresh and satisfying. Tonight, I wanted something lighter, so I went for their avocado bao bun, which is another favorite of mine. It's simple, tasty, and just the right snack. My daughter is a big fan of their coconut bubble tea, so it's a win for the whole family! I also love that they've recently added more seating, making it even easier to enjoy a meal here. If you're looking for incredible pho, banh mi, or a quick bao bun snack, this is the spot to go! read more

Went here b/c of the Yelp reviews and holy smokes. I didn't know what to expect but trusted what Yelp was saying. Sure glad I listened. If it wasn't for Yelp, I would've easily turn around because of the basic appearance. Went in and it was almost like ordering at a fast-ish food chinese restaurant. The prices are very fair and I didn't know how it was all gonna pan out. I have to say the food was awesome. We (entire family) was all surprised and very glad we came out here. Great options, value for money, hands-down would come back again. If you're in the area, come check it out! Food Taste: 5 Overall Service: 5 Value of food to cost: 5 Facility: 4 Ambiance: Mom and Pop to the core. It's a small facility that takes you back to a place that's just a 'hole in the wall'. Love every bit of it. Repeat customer: maybe Dog Friendly: patio read more

I haven't been to Bao Bao for a long time. It's a quick Vietnamese food restaurant that has seating indoors and outdoors. I ordered one of my favorites meals; tofu with mixed vegetables to dine in. I saw mostly people taking out. It was lunchtime so it was quite busy for take out. It was just me and another table dining in. It all came back to me. The interior of Bao Bao is just too warm for me to dine in. Next time I'll take out some that I can dine in a cooler environment. I remember second about the food the last time I was there. However, this time I found my meal to be quite oily. I still enjoyed it, but not as much as I should have. read more

This place gives off a nice cafe vibe upon walking in and food was made to order and prompt! Lunch specials were great and very reasonable. Eating at the restaurant is definitely the way to go because it is piping hot and tastes best right out of the pan. The chicken basil had a good flavor and the fish sauce was great to add that funkiness that makes vietnamese food taste amazing! We also got a bbq pork banh mi which was devoured in a minute. The jalapenos in that were a bit of a spicy surprise so if you don't like spice, maybe ask for them to take them out. The bread they used has a nice outer crust with a soft interior which is a great balance. Definitely recommend giving this place a try given how inexpensive the place is as compared to the quality of food you get. read more

When recently order in takeout, upon eating my meal, I discovered two pieces of hair in my fresh spring roll. I had maybe three more bites left of my entire meal. I went back inside to inform the cashier about the issue very politely. she immediately said that she could not give me a refund since I ate the food, I responded with, but there's a hair in it. She can continue to state that she couldn't give me a refund because of the hair then finally said she can't give me a refund because the manager was not there and that's the only person who could conduct refunds. Ultimately, I left and probably will never be able to come back. Even though considering the fact, I ordered from them quite frequently. :( read more

I found myself in this area of town a few months ago, and looked into my bookmarks to see what places I wanted to try but had not yet. Well BaoBao kitchen was convenient, and I always love a Banh Mi sandwich, so I decided to stop in and give it a try. This is a very small place, if you want to eat there you probably have to limit it to just yourself or you and a friend. There's maybe 16 seats in there total. You order at the counter, and they call for you when you order is ready. It took a little bit to prepare my order of spring rolls and a spicy pork Banh Mi, probably 20 minutes. No real problem there. The food came out piping hot and clearly made fresh. I appreciate that they have a small "toppings bar" with things like chili oil, hoisin sauce, crushed peanuts, etc. I grabbed a little hoisin and crushed peanuts to add to my pork sandwich and that was not a mistake! Not traditional, but I did enjoy the resulting flavor. I don't really have a complaint on taste, but was glad I ordered some spring rolls to go with the sandwich, because even with my enhancements, I was still hungry after. The lunch special advertised in the window looks enticing, and I may give that a try next time, but still, might need to order some extra to fill it out. I think in the end, I would come back, but wouldn't go out of my way for it. I have a couple options for this type of food closer to my house, and will probably keep heading there. read more

Family of 4 including toddlers and found ourselves roaming the area early in the morning looking for places that would be open, but also wasn't ihop. We landed here. Nobody was in the restaurant and it was probably a good thing because my kids could not sit still. They were safely contained within the area of the small space while customers occasionally came in to pick up their orders to go. A note worth mentioning in case other parents find themselves in need of a similar situation. I noticed a bunch of other special items not present on the permanent menu including rice porridge and chicken (looks like congee or kaopiuk equivalent of you're lao/thai) but also banh guon which is like meat rice crepes. I hadn't had it in awhile and got some for myself! Really yummy. I knew it wouldn't be enough so I also ordered a char sui banh mi to share with my hubby. He thought it was the best banh mi he's ever had although it wasn't in the traditional sense because it wasn't. I enjoyed it as well though. Hubby also had himself some pho. Nothing particularly extraordinary but hit the spot. No complaints there! The kids had the chicken and noodles which was a stir fried chicken over plain rice noodles. It wasn't what I was expecting and a bit lackluster. They mostly enjoyed the chicken and left the noodles alone. With two juices and a large thai iced tea, the order came out to around $50ish and we felt pretty good about our experience. read more

Normally I stay away from the "quick" pho places, but curiosity killed the cat and wanted to see how the food was with the near 5 star reviews. I was better off just being curious because the food or experience was not pleasant. Peak summertime and maybe the air was not working properly? Definitely very humid in there and I don't know how the few customers even stayed in to eat in there. Got ready to put in my order and I just felt the girl at the register just had a really bad day or didn't want to be there...with all due respect, that kinda dampens your mood as well. The food...it was too hot for me to even think about eating pho but just the looks of it, this fast pho spot is similar to other ones I've been in where not a lot of emphasis is on the broth, as it should be. So I opted with a fresh roll and the pork Banh mi. The roll was a fat log and was not rolled well at all. We roll these rolls at home and I've seen nieces and nephews rolling better than that. It's stuffed with vermicelli noodles and pieces of chicken here and there. Unsurprisingly, the rolls didn't hold much "shape" and busted...ruining it. The Banh mi wasn't bad, but it was really a watered down version on this Vietnamese staple. read more

This is our go to take out spot, have not had anything bad from here before. Highly recommended for great food at a great price.

I particularly enjoy patronizing small family owned businesses. BaoBao is an excellent choice if you enjoy these types of businesses. It's a small storefront in a strip mall on Battleground Avenue. There is room for 20 - 30 customers inside and there are three tables outside. Decor is simple. Food is outstanding! We stopped by mid-afternoon after visiting someone at Moses Cone hospital. You place your order at the counter and they call you up when it's ready. My wife had the Hot box chicken which consists of a salad, chicken and the rice of your choice. She had brown rice. She enjoyed everything and was particularly impressed with the brown rice. I had the red curry chicken. Vietnamese curry is a soup and it's served with rice. It was outstanding! If you're in the area, try BaoBao. I wish I worked nearby. I'd like to try their lunch specials. read more

Pros: the tofu and lemongrass curry sauce were really good. Cons: I wish there was more sauce, missing spring roll, it took a solid 20-30 minutes to get the food, the drinks came out about 5 minutes after the food and the hot tea was barely warm. We got there at 11 on a Monday so not a super busy time. There were about two tables already occupied. A few people knew there drill there and had ordered ahead, but still it wasn't super busy. The set up is that you walk in order, sit and they call your name so I thought it would be relatively fast but that was so not the case. My biggest gripe is that the drinks came out after the long wait for the food. Drinks always come first! They can at least appease your diners if the wait is long. My dish was pretty good (tofu curry lemongrass hot box). It came with a spring roll, salad, sweet chili sauce and soup. I chose brown rice out of the white rice and noodle selection. My husband had the chicken lemongrass but his dish missed the spring roll but had vegetables with his dish and mine only had the salad. My dish only had the tofu, nothing else besides the salad , rice , spring roll and soup. I would have thought it would have had a bit more veggies or sauce, see picture. I get that for the price you get a good amount of food I just would prefer to get a smaller solid meal rather than a bunch of rice. The table next to us was there before us but their food was still coming out after ours was. I might go back but there are so many good options in the area that when I am there I'll probably go elsewhere. read more
