    Duck Bao - DUCK IS GLISTENING
    Shirley W.

    Stopped by here for a quick dinner. Very spacious parking lot. Definitely very easy to get too. This joint is quite small, but it's meant to not really be a restaurant, it's giving boba shop space size. I noticed next door they had a bbq shop, so they probably get all their meat supplies next door. Ordering was easy and efficient. I ordered a duck bao and a bolsa bao which was the pork belly bao. It didn't take too long for my order to be completed either since I was the only person in the shop. Digging into the duck bao first, wow the duck was realllyyy good. They slab on a generous piece of duck with perfect parts of meat, fat, and skin. It's very oily though, but it was very delicious. Then I had the bolsa bao, this was okay tbh but it was still pretty nice. The skin of the pork belly could be crispier, but it tasted like it was out for awhile. The meat itself was a bit tough to pull apart, but the overall flavors were very nice. Also the fried onions on both of the baos was a really nice touch. Overall, quick and easy joint. I would definitely get the duck bao again. It's kinda like the one you would get at the Chinese seafood restaurant, but even larger. It's closer to $6 per bao, which is a bit higher than I may have expected, but not as high as if you're going to a night market for it.

    Great tasty snack and it contained a lot of duck meat. Baos are about $6.50 each and comes with sauce. Duck was juicy

    Found this place randomly while driving and decided to drop in for a Bao. I ordered the Bolsa Bao which is their crispy roast pork option. First off, the portion size of the bao is pretty large, but it's a huge chunk of the crispy roast pork, so each bite, even when you get to the end is still a mouthful of pork, which I really appreciated. The pickled red onions and cucumbers also were perfect accompaniments to cut through the fattiness of the pork. Overall, a really good Bao. I will definitely come back to try their other Bao options. Otherwise the store was located in a large shopping plaza with plenty of parking. I came during the early afternoon and it was not busy. The guys behind the counter were really helpful when I came in and explained the menu to me. Service was really quick and efficient. The store itself is clean and has a couple tables inside to sit and enjoy your meal. It has a nice casual feel inside with some music playing.

    Baos Hog serves up various proteins in baos as well as the option to get the proteins with rice. Pricing for the baos are about half of the rice plates, but I feel like you get much better value with the rice plates. Ribeye and egg rice ($12) - Korean marinated beef was grilled to perfection and served with green onion on top of rice and a sunny side egg. This is the best deal here. Fish bao ($5.50) - The mouth feel of fried basa fish, crispy red/white cabbage, onions, honey mustard sauce and the fluffy soff bao buns really hit the mark! This was a great tasting dish as well. Cow bao ($5) - This had the same ribeye and green onions utilized in the plate. Hot chick bao ($5) - This fried chicken bao with a house sauce, slaw, tossed in a vinaigrette, topped with cilantro and siracha was another well executed dish. Hainan chicken rice with dark meat ($12) - I enjoyed this poached chicken and rice dish. Duck bao ($5.50) - This consisted of pan seared duck, slaw and a hoisin mayo which provided a slightly sweet taste. I'm not a fan of duck but it went well with the bao. Overall there are a lot of protein options to choose from and the prices are reasonable, especially for the rice dishes and that's why I'm bumping their rating up to 5 stars. I recommend getting a single rice dish or 3 baos to fill you up. They have several tables inside as well as 2 outside, so there isn't a whole lot of seating. Most people were getting their items to go.

    Loved Baos Hog! The Hainan chicken and baos were so good! Everything was flavorful and fresh, and the prices are super reasonable. Great spot for a tasty, satisfying meal -- definitely coming back!

    CRISPY HAINAN CHICKEN
    Bryan H.

    This place was surprisingly delicious. It opened awhile ago and I never thought to try it, but one day I decided to come in, and we ordered the crispy hainan chicken, fries, duck bao, and bolsa bao (crispy pork belly). All dishes were incredibly crispy, flavorful, and had a great texture. The sauces with the chicken rice added a nice variety to the dish, and we were very full for two people after the meal. The workers were quick to serve, and food came out in a good amount of time. The restaurant itself didn't have a lot of seating, but it also wasn't very crowded so I think you could sit down and eat fairly quickly

    A fun take on bao! Food: Always fresh and prepared well, in particular the duck is really good here (it probably helps that they're right next door to Lien Hoa), but all of their offerings are quite good. Service: Always quick and friendly, and they keep the orders moving! Ambiance: Plenty of indoor seating, and a bit outdoors as well. If you haven't, you should! I'll see you here! :)

    Placed in a very crowded plaza, parking is very easy. There's a lot of other restaurants around, and I'm surprised this place isn't more crowded. The place itself is a little small, but it's cozy enough inside to enjoy eating at the place. The service itself is quick and efficient, or maybe it's because one of the owners was literally the person working the cash register. The braised pork belly in the bao felt like it was cooked to perfection. Considering the price, I could've just ordered 2-3 of these and I would have been extremely happy with the meal. The Hainan chicken didn't disappoint either, so if baos aren't enough, the Hainan chicken is worth it. Definitely recommend the boss Bao if you stop by here

    hidden little shop in a gg plaza! fun and modern environment with pop/r&b/hip-hop blasting and a simple yet infused menu with Vietnamese/Chinese dishes. Duck Bao & Bolsa Boa were 5/5. Solid slabs of meat, with plenty of sauce and toppings (fresh cucumber). everything tasted fresh, and was prepped quick! Also welcoming service as soon as we walked in the door. would def come back here and recommend. Wish they had a combo or something if you bought 3/5/10 baos or something like that, esp w/a drink!

    Mandy F.

    The bun itself is soft and good. Big portions but I feel as if the meat inside is lacking flavor. We got Steak-the meat quality is good but there wasn't much flavor. BBQ Pork-lacking the flavor on the char sui but with a little hoisin sauce it was good. Duck-this is the one that was really good, the duck flavor, the bun and the fresh cucumbers. Overall, the portions are big and meat filling is generous, bun has a nice texture to it. Located inside the plaza where the Hoa Binh market is.

    Bolsa Bao and Fish Bao

    O V E R A L L Super worth, fresh, and decent quantity! I was looking for some clean eats / rice plates and stumbled upon this gem. Will definitely return! O R D E R Hainan Chicken (white meat) - WOW on quantity and flavors! Granted I don't go out to get Hainan chicken as much, but this is probably my favorite spot! Crispy Hainan Chicken - My fiance got this one and it was so flavorful (I most definitely snuck a bite) Bolsa Bao - Crispy af!! All the flavors hit the spot. Fish Bao - Best eaten FRESH FRESH when there's still steam coming out of your mouth. So so crispy and flavorful. I appreciate that the bao is still super fluffy. (Obv I need to upgrade my vocabulary here but legit... flavorful + great quantity are prob the best words to describe the food here!!) S E R V I C E You order at the counter ~ but everyone was super friendly! O T H E R There is some seating inside and a table outside.

    Eat like a BAOS. Though high-key, I come here for the dark meat Hai Nan Chicken Rice - FAVORITE OF ALL TIME IN THE OC!!! Sounds like a simple & plain dish, but let me tell you... it is SO SAVORY & FLAVORFUL, including the rice itself, which was also not sticky. I try to savor each bite because the chicken is just that JUICY, no ginger or hot sauce needed to boost the taste. Out of all the Hai Nan Chicken I've tried in OC, this place has the strongest deep flavor. The shop next door was selling duck and inspired me to try Duck Bao. Yuuum taste like peking duck. Also got the Bolsa Bao (pork belly).. loved the crispy outer skin. A nice bonus, I like the texture of the thinly sliced green onions on both the chicken & baos. You can watch them slice your chicken & assemble your baos from behind the glass. Self serve ice water & toss your own trash/stack tray when done. Casual vibe, upbeat with the EDM playing haha Few small tables of 2 that can be push together for parties of 4 or 6. Plenty of parking in the plaza area.

    1. The meat portions were generous in the baos, and the lychee lemonade was refreshing! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes! 3. There were indoor and outdoor tables! 4. The staff were friendly and timely with my order! It took less than 10 mins! 5. Parking lot is huge, but nearby spots can get crowded depending on time and day! Note: There is a restroom available for customers! Photo: Duck Bao, Bolsa Bao, and Lychee Strawberry

Service is great because I think the servers recognize my family but speaking Korean also helps. Unfortunately, I have witnessed some of the servers being kind of rude to other patrons. The servers are just always in a rush. But I always find myself going back whenever we have a big group. Don't expect a nice, clean, modern ambiance. The carpets old, decor is questionable, and sometimes there's a weird smell. But I will continue to go here.

This helped us get a table much faster than we would have than if we had just shown up and waited. We ordered the large family meal, and there were 12 of us. We also ordered the Newport Lobster, fish fillet with black bean sauce, and an extra shrimp fried rice. Overall, I think the food was good, and the prices are reasonable (except the lobster, which was pricey, as you might expect from anything listed as "market price"). Most of us in the group thought the fish fillet with black bean sauce was the best. I thought it was very good, but not necessarily fantastic. (There are other Chinese restaurants that do it a little better.) The sauce was very good, but the fish wasn't quite as tender as it can be. Definitely a solid 4 stars. Other dishes were good. I think the scallop soup could have been great for some people, but my wife and I both hate cilantro, and there was a ton of cilantro. The pork was also good, and my friends thought the clams were also really good. I found the fried rice a bit bland. And for both the lobster and the crab, they could have made them a little easier to eat by cracking the shells a bit more for us. I hate fighting with my food ... And there was a fair amount of fighting on these 2 dishes. The lobster cost almost much as all the other dishes combined. It certainly looked amazing. And the sauce was very good. But I found most of it a bit overcooked. Maybe it was our fault for asking for a big one. Maybe a smaller lobster might have been cooked a little less. The great sauce (along with the fighting with the shell) might have covered up the fact that the meat was actually a bit tough and rubbery. I don't think I'd order this again. The service was very friendly and pretty fast. And, again, other than the lobster, the pieces were pretty reasonable.

These two dishes lacked the crunchiness and flavors that these fried entrees are supposed to showcase. We found the pork chops to be dry and tough, as if it was prepared a while ago and sitting out for some time before it made its way to our table. The shrimp was not impressive either. At least the shaking beef or bo luc lac was good. The beef chunks were tender, and the flavors were on point. Bonus points for the broth that is complimentary during lunch. Also the complimentary orange slices were a nice touch to end our meal. We'd still return for the lobster and noodle when the occasion comes up.
