We wanted to dine it, place was empty. Person at counter seemed initially irritated by our presence and wanting to dine in. I guess they do mostly takeout. After a little while she decided she would tolerate us I suppose. She became a bit more personable. Food was good. We ordered basics. Sesame chicken and sweet and sour chicken. .hot and sour soup. Spouse got white rice I got fried rice. Both decent if a little plain. Egg rolls were not great. Not enough cabbage and too much pork/mushy Tea was a little sour, like it was old. Had an off smell/taste. Didn't make me sick thankfully. The food was also very good reheated. Just had to get some egg rolls from Jack in the box. Lol. read more

The food is okay for takeout. But I don't like dinning in. The girl that works in the evening acts like she doesn't want to be there and always seems to be bothered by anyone wanting to sit at a table to eat. read more

NEVER EAT HERE!!! Used to enjoy getting takeout from here. NEVER again!!!!!! Served me absolutely ROTTEN shrimp in my pad thai, and then tried to claim all their shrimp were fresh when I called. The shrimp were SO REVOLTING that I VOMITTED my entire meal up. They claimed the owner doesn't speak English and couldn't talk to me on the phone. Acted like they didn't understand me when I asked for a refund. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!! read more

Full of sault!!! Very bad food taste. Use to be good but now very bad. Portions r small a s full of soya sauce with salt.

Came in to eat around 7:30 to eat, the food was great. But the service is horrible the waitress practically rushed us out of the restaurant it was 8:15 when I was at the register paying to leave. Spoke with management and wasn't even offered a sorry. Wouldn't recommend this place at all. read more

The food was very good. Large portions. We ordered delivery and the estimated time was right on track. Chicken and corn soup was hot and delicious. read more

Ordered for the first time today. We had the Chicken Lettuce wraps (it's called H2 Pheasant Soong Chicken) Pork Eggrolls, Scallion Pancakes, Fried Rice and We absolutely LOVED!!! And after we BOTH ATE, there was STILL a full bowl of the chicken mixture left (Chicken breast, Colored Bell Pepper, Mushrooms, Water Chestnuts Onions and a sauce.) For round two for dinner! read more

The General Tso's chicken here is really hood and good value at the price. I usually it about once a week.

First time to use doordash for food ordered from here. A friend gifted me a gift card and since this place is the closest to my home, I opted to order food from them. I got mixed fried rice, chicken lo mein, chicken pad thai, chicken curry, and Kung pao beef. I'm not happy with the overall lack of flavor on all items. And over half the fried rice is crunchy raw (a BIG NO for Asians like me). I don't don't recommend them at all. read more

Don't sleep on Baos. Best wonton around. The house wonton is huge and only $8. Comes with everything. Beef. Chicken. Shrimp. The works. We get it four times a month easy. read more

Walked im with my family to be seated sl we could sit down and eat. Reataurant was cometely empty. We were given ugly look and scowled at by hostess that they were too busy to serve us She didn't want customers in the restaurant. It was odd and we were not welcomed and basically told that they didn't want our business. I will never order from this place nor return to eat Worst customer service I've ever encountered. read more

Food- 4.5 Service- 4 Ambiance- 3.5 Food: The food here is great! The portion sizes are giant and cost friendly. Special props to specifically the fried rice, which had an enticing aroma and flavor, as well as the egg drop soup (some of the best I've ever had, perfect balance of chicken broth and egg flavor). The only gripe I have is with their lo mein, which was too sweet for me and my family's liking (almost similar to yakisoba or stir fried noodle). I compliment this restaurant on being able to create a unique palette of flavors that each have their own personality. Service: My family came late, around 8:30-9:00PM after an event. Our waitress was a bit on edge at first (which is excusable because of how late we came) but was kind and polite through the rest of our meal. Ambiance: This place isn't fancy, but it's clean and comfortable, which are two of the most important aspects of the restaurant. It serves as an adequate place to enjoy some delicious food. In summation, I would suggest trying this place out. There's a lot of very negative and positive comments about this place, but I had an enjoyable time. When comparing it to other Asian restaurants, this one is able to live up to its competition, and in some aspects even exceeds it (especially in terms of the food quality). Thank you to Bao's Cafe for providing some delicious food on a late night! read more

Service was lousy-host was rude, threw straw on table, made judgmental remarks about my order, Food was HORRIBLE and though I was hungry, it didn't make me innocuous about the quality of the food. I WILL NEVER RETURN. No more words GONE!!! read more

I have only eaten once before and that was during the pandemic so thought I would try again. I got orange chicken and it was delicious.

Had food delivered so can't say a lot about service. Food was okay...just bland. Wonton soup was kinda greasy in a way. Pork fried rice was bland. Dumplings were decent with good dipping sauce. Just wanted to try a new place. Just okay. read more

Awesome local spot, well priced, great food, reliable service. Fried Rice is delicious, beef and broccoli was really tender.

League City, you have yourselves a mighty fine Chinese eatery. For the life of me, I don't know what took me so long to check it out. Better late than never, right? My younger brother and I ate lunch here, and we, as the only customers during the post-lunch hour lull, were impressed with the awesome quality and solid quantity of our food. We started with steamed pot stickers, which contained chewy, tasty pork filling. Then, we had the combination fried rice, Szechuan style sliced pork, and salt and pepper shrimp. All three dishes were really exquisite. I'm a huge fan of the fried rice. It was riddled with nicely cut chunks of chicken and pork. There was so much rice to where it could be its own meal. Matter of fact, we took two styrofoam containers, not counting the takeout order. Take a bow, Bao's. Plan to get used to having me as a regular diner. read more

We ordered quite a few dishes, and asked for sauces on the side due to someone in our group having celiac, and we received everything we ordered with proper labels on the sauces and their corresponding dishes. All items were packed up neatly for us to take home. The cashier was nice and everything tasted good. Their black bean sauce was really good! Also, the redbean buns looked like pig faces, which was a cute touch, and they were yummy, too. read more

I went in around 4:30 today and was the only customer. I literally waited 5 minutes at the register for someone to come out. I could see someone in the kitchen on their phone and another exiting out back for a smoke break. I kept calling "Hello? Hello?" and finally a man came out of the bathroom with phone in hand. I ordered and my food came out quickly. I told the "waiter" I would be ordering food to go as well. Again, I'm the only customer in there. He never ever came back to my table after delivering my food and every time I turned around to see if he was still there, his head was down as he was playing on his phone. When I walked to the register to pay I commented how I was disappointed in the service because in the 30 minutes I had eaten my meal he'd never once checked on me. His reply: "You had a pot of tea and I gave you your food." Then he told a second employee that I was wrong, he had checked on me. Complete untruth. I will not return. read more

Foods is ok and a little price for what it is. Not very friendly when ordering. Don't think I will be back. read more

The food was amazing!!!!! I am very picky with the Chinese food I eat. So I can honestly say Bao's is definitely included in my top 5 choices. I had the house special fried rice, chicken Lomein and the Mongolian beef. Ps: just wish they would lower the prices a bit. Or make the portion bigger. read more

This restaurant was awesome. I ordered shrimp lo mein take out. it was tasty. It was still hot when I got home. I ate until I was stuffed and woke up the next morning and ate the rest. That is just how good it was. I can't wait to try everything else on the menu. The cashier and the chef were very attentive and courteous. I think this is a new place and it sure does beat 888 Chinese which is nearby. I will be back but to sit and eat next time. I paid $9.67 including tax for the shrimp lo mein. Excellent portions for the price. This place is a "must try" for Chinese food lovers. read more

My first time here and not a good first impression. I ordered generals chicken with white rice and a pork egg roll. When I go to my office they gave me fried rice that was so stail or undercooked it was too hard to even eat. When I went in for my egg roll, you guessed it, not there. They charged me for it but never put it in the bag. I may give them another shot but not likely. read more

Terrible food. Chicken was green and not normal chicken color. We asked for them to take it back and the guys started yelling profanity in Chinese. read more

Nicest people ever. My Mom was sick and they stayed open past close to make her fresh soup and gave me a free key chain! Not only the people but the food was great too 12/10 read more

Food was less than satisfactory, I was the only customer there so I was a little skeptical about moving forward. I should of turned around, because it was a literal waste of money. Plus as I reviewed my receipt, I realized I was over charged. I ended up tossing most of my meal. read more

What a disappointment! Went at 3:30pm for lunch. Upon walking to the restaurant, you see a handwritten sign: chicken fried rice buy one, get one free. Walked in. No one in the restaurant eating. No one available to seat you either. We sat ourselves. We get our menus. Had a couple of questions. The server could not answer our questions and it wasn't his accent. The special on the rice was take out only. The sign did not specify that. Ordered appetizers. Had to walk to register to pay. Got our rice but not the appetizers. Poor service. I will not be recommending this place. The rice tasted ok but not much in the rice as I normally get. I was so looking forward to chinese food. Not impressed. read more

Called in an order today at 4:45pm. Got there after about 10 minutes and they didn't have my order. The people behind me seemed to have the same issue. It took about 40 minutes to get an order I called into for pickup and they weren't very busy. Food was good but service was lacking. read more

Bao's is a relatively new Chinese food place in League City. I like it but I have to admit I come here more for the convenience than the food. Please allow me to explain. The food is good. I've never had anything here that I didn't like. It is also conveniently located within a mile of my house and that is why I keep coming back. In my opinion, there are other Chinese food restaurants in the area that are better tasting and a better value. However, they are not as close as this location. The portions you receive here at Bao's are not as large as you will receive at other area Chinese restaurants and personally, I like having leftovers for lunch the next day. In addition, you will pay more for these smaller portions than you will at other area Chinese restaurants. Bottom line: The food is good but the portions are smaller and slightly more expensive than their local competitors. Therefore, I give them three stars. Bon appétit. read more

Not impressed by their customer service OR their food. I spent over $40 for a delivery and the lady was late. The food was barely Luke warm. They didn't bring any condiments or sauces for anything for the dinner. The gal who delivered told me she doesn't speak English but she sure knew I only gave a $4 tip! The look on her face was pure shock! Like really? Practically cold, unflavored food with nothing to even add to spice it up?! I even ASKED for extra sauces. Just damn aggravating since I'm from out of town and was looking forward to a nice Asian meal. I ordered Sizzling Rice Soup. No flavor. No rice. No nothing. I wish I had something great to say. But I got nothin! read more

Food had no taste. Order Wonton soup with clear broth and dumplings with no green onions. Fried rice is just brown rice with no onions.

This is my third and final visit. It's a little better or a little worse than Panda Express depending on your visit. I ordered sesame chicken. The chicken was battered (like sweet and sour chicken) and had tangy orange sauce (like bad orange chicken) and 10 sesame seeds sprinkled on top. Really?! Also, this place is always understaffed. Meaning it's not unusual to find everyone in the back (kitchen?) and no employees in the main dining room. And the person that rang me up (for takeout) had fake nails that went a full inch and a half past the tip of her fingers. Sanitary brilliance! read more

Clean good service generous portions good price. We had the shrimp fried rice and sweet and sour pork with hot and sour soup. All good couldn't finish either meal. read more

This is the most disgusting place I have ever been to. The manager here, I believe he's called Ben, is a jerk. Not only he denied hairs in the food, but also he's been so damn rude with his broken English. Everything is terrible. I should have called health department but I didn't. Their kitchen seems dirty as well. Worst place in this area. read more

This is the first time in many uses that I have been totally disappointed in Bao's. I ordered take out with three spring rolls, sweet and sour chicken and a combination fried rice. I was told the order would be ready in 10 - 15 minutes. I arrived in 10 minutes. They took my payment and I set down to wait for my order seeing that there was one take order on the counter waiting to be picked up. I waited about 20 minutes and finally asked one of the servers if they could check on my order. They went over and looked at the order in the counter and said here is your order. This was the same guy that took my payment originally. I asked if it was still warm and he said pretty much. I got home and the spring rolls were so cold they were not appetizing and when I opened the sweet and sour chicken, there was no sweet and sour sauce. If the other comments are true about new management, Bao's will not be in business much longer. Too bad because this was a very good Chinese Resturant that went through Covid very well. Really disappointing. May never be back with this kind of service. read more

We ordered delivery from Bao's for the first time last night and were pleasantly surprised! Upon calling in our order, the lady over the phone advised it would be 20-30 minutes for our food to arrive but they actually showed up in 8 minutes after we hung up the phone! Super fast, so that's nice. We ordered Mongolian chicken, Mongolian beef, spring roll, shrimp rolls, and a vegetable soup. The soup was hot and tasty, the only downside is the vegetables in it are not cut down to an edible size so it makes it harder to eat. My SO enjoyed the Mongolian beef and we enjoyed the Mongolian chicken, it was white meat which was great too. Would definitely order again from Bao's. read more

I ordered a delivery yesterday, 4/14/17. I was super excited because the reviews for this place were pretty positive. But, I beg to differ. I ordered the General Tso's Chicken, and Combination Rice. The Combination Rice was $8.95 and the General Tso's Chicken was $10.95. I was NOT pleased with the General Tso's Chicken, AT ALL. It was definetly over priced for what you get. They give you, I believe 8-9 medium sized balls of chicken. It's not the normal variations of smaller size chicken that you get from other places. The sauce was NOT the normal Gen Tso's sauce. It was super thin. The flavor of the chicken, wasn't right. Gen Tso's Chicken, is supposed to be sweet & spicy. The sauce was neither. It was more of a soy sauce taste. I've had better. Plus, if I'm paying $11 for chicken, can it please be a BIG container FULL of chicken that tastes like Gen Tso's Chicken? I better get magic powers after eating it. I've paid cheaper amounts of money, for more food. The Combination Rice was okay. It comes in a big to-go container. I was ok with the price. The taste was slightly bland. It wasn't anything special. I overall would NOT come back. I can go to so many other places, and get my bang for my buck. The food would definitely taste better, as well. read more

I had a stomach turning experience at this restaurant: I urge you to stay away! Here's the story. After we were done eating My 4 year-old son decided he needed to go to the bathroom. I told him to go on and he proceeded to head towards the men's restroom. I followed behind him. Incidentally, there was a guy in the men's restroom, who forgot to lock the door, using the urinal. I went to excuse ourselves and attempted to close the door but he quickly zipped up his pants and headed out. I didn't think anything of it until I saw him head towards the kitchen! Sure enough it was the cook! This man had his hands on his private to use the bathroom, didn't wash his hands, and proceeded to the back to cook! As someone who works in the healthcare industry and has seen it all; this is utterly disgusting! I will definitely not be going back again! Who knows what else happens behind close doors! read more
