BunBao's storefront is located in the plaza by the Ardenwood park & ride lot. It's a takeout and catering pickup area and not a dine-in restaurant. You can catch them at several farmers markets and their food truck makes plenty of stops across the bay. Their website BunBao.com displays their vast schedule of locations, ordering system, and more. I was able to catch their food truck (van) and try two of their baos, the braised pork belly and bbq pork, along with an order of sesame balls. I really like the texture of their bao buns, they're perfectly bouncy without being too soft or mushy. The taste is light enough to create balance with the rush fillings. The texture of the braised pork belly was soft and chewy from the fatty pieces. Both this filling and the bbq pork filling has a nice combination of sweet and salty. The sesame balls on the other hand had a very dry red bean filling. The paste felt very dehydrated but the outer dough was chewy and fried nicely. read more

I found Bunbao at the Vallejo Farmer's Market. They sell frozen baos at the markets. The vendor was very helpful describing each bao and his recommendations. The first time we got the bbq pork, XLB, and the custard/red bean buns. He gave us a 10% discount for buying three items at once. He had multiple recommendations for how to reheat but steaming is the best way. We really enjoyed those three items. So much so that we went back the next weekend to try more baos! We tried three other savory buns like the braised and the minced meat baos. The third time we also tried the sesame balls filled with red bean. They're about the size of golf balls. There are some items that were a great hit and others missed the mark for us. The ones we liked the most were the bbq pork, XLB, custard buns, minced meat bun. But that's personal preference. Everything tasted like it was fresh-frozen. Of course it's frozen. But it didn't taste "old". Since I heated them up at home I didn't encounter problems with the food being cold. Bunbao was a fun discovery. It satisfies the craving for baos and it's great they're frozen so you can stock up and enjoy whenever. read more

Bun Boa at the Divisadero Farmers Market San Francisco. As far as snacks go Bun Boa is a nice option unless you have time to hit the various shops on Clement. BTW, as for Frozen my preference would be Happy Family Gourmet on Taraval, or Hmart. But if your at the farmers market this is a convenient way to get your Bun fix. read more

I really do hate giving bad reviews, but sometimes you just need to let people know that a business is definitely NOT worth their time or money. With that said, BunBao is 100% blah. My first time visiting this food truck, so I had high hopes for it...and it left me HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED. I only ordered a couple of items. The food was stale as hell, HOT--but STALE. This is what I ordered... Pork Belly Baos - Yuck. There is no way in hell that these pork buns are fresh. The entire texture of the bun is hard and dry...like when you put leftover buns in the refrigerator and microwave them days later, and they're hard after 30 seconds out of the microwave because they're so old they've lost all of their moisture. The meat was dry and hard (see pic), but the FAT (pork belly) was mushy. Seriously, the texture of the bao was giving "garbage", and that's exactly where it went. Out of 2 pork buns, 1-1/2 went straight into the trash. More of it would have gone into the trash, but I tried giving some of it to my dogs and even they rejected it. You can get far better tasting pork buns from the frozen section at Costco. If you want pork buns from a food truck, I recommend The Chairman which never disappoints. Sesame Balls - Tiny balls, not like the ones you get at a normal restaurant. They were not much bigger than quail eggs. Again, stale as hell. They are so old and stale that they are gray, deflated, and hard. You know it's a good sesame ball when it's light and airy. These were the opposite of light and airy. They were half way to turning into rocks. I could barely chew the first bite, and that bite was so dry and hard I thought I was going to choke as it went down. I got 5 balls. I threw out 4-1/2 balls. No regrets. I would have tossed them if they cost 5K each. Those two items came out to over $20 (15% tip included). Definitely not worth it. What was also odd is that both items came in the same box. What if the two orders were for two different people? I definitely do not recommend this place. I read the other reviews and I don't know if the good reviews are from friends and family, because there ain't no way this place should get more than 1 or 2 stars. Otherwise, maybe they make it fresh once a week, freeze the cooked items that don't sell, and serve up the leftovers after a blast in the microwave the rest of the week. I mean, I know leftovers, and these taste like they're on day 3-5. Definitely over microwaved which is why they were hard like rocks within seconds. Ugh. And yes, I know my dim sum. I'm from SF and growing up we would get dim sum no less than once a week from a couple of places in Chinatown. Starting in my teens, I would drive down to various places in the Avenues, and the Peninsula. I've also ordered similar items from various food trucks. This is not a place I will get food from ever again. read more

BunBao is located in the Ardenwood area of Fremont. I had passed by their Irvington location before, and I have seen their items available at Factory Tea Bar in Fremont. I had seen that they had taken over this spot in Ardenwood. I decided to try it out. They offer limited items if you walk up. The items would be frozen, and the payment options are PayPal and Venmo. The staff member who assisted me suggested that I visit the website and place an order there for food that will be cooked when ready for pickup. I placed my order for pick up the next day. I arrived a bit early (pickup time is 2:30-4:30 pm). My order was ready. The food was good and filling. I will need to explore their menu items. read more

Was super excited to see new vendors at the Modesto farmers market. I'm a bay area transplant, so I grew up eating baos from San Francisco and crave them all the time. I knew they were going to be a popular item, so I got the girls up and made sure to get to the market early. Even then, there was a line and they sold out of a few things. We ended up with the char siu, signature baos and the cutest gift box (we got the last one!) All the baos come frozen and they provide you with multiple ways to prepare them. The signature baos were also on special, but 2 get 1 free, so I figured why not. The char siu is usually my go to when I'm out and about. These baos have a good amount of dough and the filling was lighter than in used to. I expected chunks of meat, but it seemed more shredded. Not something I've had before. The picture they use also shows chunks. The signature baos had like a meatball inside. The first bite, I got all dough because it looked like the meat had shrunk inside and I could shake it around. Once I got some meat, the flavor was light, but tasty. These baos are not saucy at all, but I really the scallions and the texture. The cutest gift box is adorable! It included a piggy, panda and chick. Both the piggy and chick were filled with cream custard and the panda was red bean. I warmed them up for the kids and made sure to have a taste. The cream custard was a light and delicious flavor. The red bean.... it was a thicker bean texture then I'm used to. You could see bits of bean inside, but it lacked that sweetness that I think of when I eat other red bean filled items. I would like to try them prepare each way they suggested, so that I can find the method that creates the best at home experience. I will be back to try other varieties, but really looking forward to the minced pork baos. read more

Would highly recommend their gift boxes -- very adorable and yummy! I specifically ordered from a Bunbao vendor at a farmers market in Oakland: * 3 char siu baos ($14) - The bao itself was amazing. The char siu wasn't bad but I've also never been a huge fan of char siu to begin with. * 3 baos in a gift box ($8) - These were very cute. The pig and duck both had custard filling, and the panda had a dark red bean paste as filling. All were delicious. Overall, I was very happy with the baos. It was a bit pricey for the size, but I will be going back to try their other baos! read more

Had an opportunity to try some baos with a catered lunch order. The bbq pork bao (not the Hong Kong style split top type) has a somewhat thick dough section on top but its bottom was relatively thin. The dough was fluffy but the char siu fillings was too finely chopped up, sweet tasting with very little texture or flavor contrast other than the sweetened pork bits. The leaf shaped vegetarian (bok choy? and shitake mushroom) bao provided better mouthfeel with slight bitterness in the vegetables although still mild tasting. Again, it had too much dough on top. These baos are pricey (they were 3 for $16.50 with our cater2me order) and probably not worth the cost as an entree. read more

I came here to satisfy the whim of a 3-year-old who wanted a cute animal bao. There was a pretty long line mid-afternoon on a Sunday at TreasureFest. Staff was really sweet to my daughter. The cartoon bao was ready right away, so at least there was no wait fo the food. They were out of the panda so we got the piggy one. * Cartoon Bao $6 - 3 stars Cute but pretty standard in terms of flavor. My 3-year-old liked it, that's what matters! read more

I've always heard about this place but never been interested enough to stop by to try it out. I was in the area on the way to a family members house and figured I'd pick some up for all of us to try. Might as well since it's in the area and I'll probably never have it again (unless it's amazing). I settled for the Tasting Bao Box that came with 9 flavors and a Cutest Gift Box for my sister in law. I decided on the Tasting Bao Box because it had a wide variety of flavors for everyone to try including Cheeseburger, Szechuan Crawfish Bao, etc. Sad to say the quality of the boas are not good whatsoever. The outside is not soft at all and the filling itself is super bland. I tried 5/9 baos and they all had that weird consistency and bland filling, that's a shame. I asked my sister in law how she liked hers and she said it was good, but by her tone of voice it was obvious she was just trying to be nice lol All in all I have to give it a 2/5. The price is insane for the quality of the food, you're paying more for the aesthetic of the bao rather than actual taste. If you want to give someone a cute gift box as a nice gesture I guess you can get that, but I wouldn't waste my money here again tbh. Would've been a 1/5 star but the cashier was super nice and helpful so the staff earned a star. read more

Baos, Chinese, Uyghur, and even vegetables and meat for delivery and pickup. Had a look at the site and theres a lot of interesting things so we'll definitely be back. Interested to try some of their Chinese and Halal dishes as well as more buns and deserts. We also like the ability to pick these up or have it delivered for free if you order a day before. We only tried the 9 pack Signature Pork Baos we found at their stand at the Irvington Farmers market. The baos come frozen and you have to re-steam, they are fairly expensive around $2 each but we were excited to try it. Re-steaming was easy and it tasted great, the bun itself was fluffy and soft. The meat ratio was very nice and the meat had a texture like it was hand-ground. A little bit of meat gelatin melts onto the inside of the bun making it soft and giving it that extra meat flavor. Really good bun and excited to try their other buns and food offerings in the future! On this batch the bottom was a little thin, nothing broke but it would be something I watch our for with the next order. read more

I discovered BunBao at the Sunday morning Martinez Farmers Market. I had a craving for some dim sum for awhile now so I made a bee line for the booth once I spotted it! They were offering a couple variations of frozen bao you could make at home. I luckily have a bamboo steamer at home so I was set! I went with the chicken teriyaki bao and their most popular BBQ pork bao. While I am normally a chicken girl, my favorite was the BBQ pork bao! The slightly sweet bun went great with the pork filling. MMM. I feel bad I can't describe how good it was to you! So just go order some! See for yourself that I am right! haha. I don't think I would get the chicken teriyaki bao again though. There is a smokey flavor to the chicken that I was not expecting and I wouldn't say it tasted like teriyaki. The is purely a personal preference though. I did find a weird piece in one of the bao's though. Not sure if it was gristle or bone but didn't love finding it. read more

OVERALL: I first found BunBao at the Burlingame Farmer's Market. They sell bao boxes, as well as some other dishes. They offer so many fillings and you can cook them in various ways. Overall, great bao that are quick and easy to make at home. FOOD: I've had the signature pork box and their tasting box (9 baos, 9 different fillings). Signature pork is a tasty, savory pork filling (not to be confused with BBQ pork. They also have that though - Char Siu Pork). In the tasting box, spicy crawfish and cheeseburger were the most interesting ones. I also really liked their shrimp filling (it also has pork in it). These are fresh when you buy them (or when they get delivered to you). You can freeze them or keep them in the refrigerator for a few days. You can cook them in the microwave, steam them, or bake them. I tried baking and steaming and prefer steaming them. The bao is more fluffy that way. SERVICE: They deliver in the bay area, which is super convenient. The delivery driver was very nice. I have also talked to the owner who is very nice and helpful as well. Definitely recommend them to your friends to help grow their following! read more

I have been seeing this place for a long time pop up on my Yelp suggestion page so I decided to finally try it. There really isn't a counter or an "inside" to order from you just ask the guy at the door for an order. I wanted the chicken curry but that was a 20 minute wait so I settled for the house special pork as they had those ready to go. Just OK to be honest. Not bad but no better than any others in the area. read more

Highly recommend these Bun Bao! So perfectly fluffy and flavorful! My picky eater ate 2! Perfect for anytime. So easy to warm up and enjoy steamy hot at home. I had no idea they partake at my local Farmer's Market! I am glad to know they show love to Hayward's downtown neighborhood. They offer a variety of flavors and the Bun Bao come in a frozen pack of 4. So easy to warm up, they explained it to me and even have the website on the label for referencing. I tried the BBQ pork and Jalapeño and am very pleased with both flavors. Will definitely return to try other flavors. read more

I'm a big bao fan so I was excited to see them in the lineup at Off the Grid. I hopped into line which moved pretty quickly. It seemed only one person was working. He'd take your order, heat up your buns, then hand them to you, then move onto the next person. I had the char siu and jalapeño beef. They were a good size with a nice amount of filling. If they lowered the price a bit it would be an easy 5 stars. Of the two I preferred the traditional char siu (bbq pork). read more

Disclaimer: this review is for Bao picked up at a food truck location. Food truck had 4 options for Bao: pork, vegetarian, jalapeno beef, and barbecue beef. I was going to just get pork and veggie, but the bbq beef was recommended to me, so I got that too. Pork: Solid bun. Didn't stand out compared to other pork buns I've had. Veggie: 5/5 - this Veggie bun was PERFECT. If you are vegetarian, this one is full of so much flavor and perfect texture. BBQ: I rate the filling 5/5, but the bun itself 1/5. I think I got a bad batch of dough because the breading was tough and chewy ): the outside was basically inedible. Overall: They are good buns, but dinging them down for quality control. I would definitely give it another chance if the truck was nearby because the bbq and veggie fillings are great, but I am a bit disappointed with the bun part. read more

Got a Groupon so tried an online order. The ordering process wasn't perfect... the website has some room for improvement. But it wasn't difficult. Placed an order around 10pm, and was provided a delivery window that was a few hours long the next day. Upon delivery, they leave the bag hanging to the door handle. Baos needed to be steamed for a few minutes each (there is also a microwave option, but you really should be steaming these). I was thinking about giving this place 3 stars because some of the flavors that I got were pretty comparable to other buns that I have had, but at a slightly more expensive price point. The saving grace though is the variety of flavors. They had a bunch available, and as a lamb lover, I really did enjoy the lamb options (particularly the Mongolian lamb). Had a fairly gamey taste, and there was a reasonable amount of lamb. I also enjoyed the braised lamb. read more

Let me start off this review by saying that for the longest time (pretty much from when I was young till I graduated from college), I really didn't like pork buns. The filling was decent but I thought that the bun literally tasted like squishy dough and I couldn't wrap my head around why people were so crazy about them. Several years ago, my friend in SF took me to some top-notch Dim Sum places where I tried their pork buns and I was blown away. The bun just crumbled in my mouth and was absolutely delicious and I realized I was just having pork buns at the wrong Dim Sum places. When I stumbled across this place at a food truck festival, I figured that a truck specializing in "Dim Sum" buns would serve up the same quality buns that I ate at those Dim Sum places in SF. When I tasted the buns, I was quite disappointed. They tasted exactly like the buns I ate at those generic Dim Sum places. For a place that completely specializes in just buns, I was a little surprised. If you are someone who is happy with the generic buns that you get at your average Dim Sum place, then I'm sure you will be happy with this truck but unfortunately, that's not me. read more

I had to pull into a quiet parking lot so that I could take a call and stumbled onto this place. Of course I want some baos so I went up to the storefront as they were loading up a van. Business is up and down, and they mostly do delivery but they took my order that day. Guy recommended the teriyaki as well as the signature buns, so I got those and a jalapeno beef as well. What was weird is that the meat in the signature bun was rolled into a ball and compacted, while the other two meats were loosely put inside. Let's just say I like the teriyaki and the jalapeno beef but not the signature pork. Honestly speaking I think this place is good for a try, I personally wouldn't go here again read more

Came across these at the Emperor Norton's Holiday Bazaar. They look cool, but their taste is just alright. Definitely prefer the assorted baos at the bakeries and dim sum to go joints not too far away in Chinatown. Signature Pork Bao: A dense pork meatball inside the bun. Had a rough grind with noticeable chunks of fat, kinda like a Vietnamese meatball you'd find in pho. Surrounded by a bit of gravy ensuring the bao wasn't too dry. It was probably the most satisfying of the baos I tried. I liked the texture contrasts, though wasn't wowed by the flavor. Vegetable Mushroom Bao: A huge bao to filling ratio. Like tons of carbs compared to little bok choy and mushroom bits. The shiitake did add a nice umami, but overall it was unexciting. Piggy Bao: Looked super cute shaped like a cartoon pig. Filling was a dense mildly sweet custard. I'm kinda spoiled by the lava bun trend, so congealed custard doesn't really do it for me nowadays. Also, the bun itself had a slight funky taste to it, like it absorbed a light flavor from being steamed near the savory buns. read more

Tried it with the Groupon deal, which made it like 34% off from the 24.99 price tag. If you order by 12am, it'll be delivered the nexT day the earliest. After placing the orrery, I got the confirmation email right away but it dId not tell me when is the delivery window. I waited the next day and still no info, so I called customer service. A mandarin speaking lady picked up the phoNe and told me that according to the system they should arrive at 5:20pm. Then I received a text to tell me the delivery window is b/w 3-6p. In reality it was delivered at 5:45. The buns look the same like the picture online, but they were no longer warm. I resteamed them for dinner and overall I found them average. Sure there are a variety of fillings, but nothing wows. There are a couple that I like, the signature pork and cheese burgers. Husband and kid seemed to like it though and thinks it's good value with free delivery. read more

I was a fan of BunBao but recently then quality of the Bao Zi dropped a lot. This is probably due to expanded supply chain since now you can buy from Costco. Complaints: - The skin of the Bao Zi tastes soggy, and the color is very white, too white that I suspect they use bleached flour. - It looks like they use machines to make the Bao Zi since you can tell from the wrinkle pattern of the skin. It's very different from handmade. I am really disappointed with the most recent purchase. I may not buy it again until the quality improves read more

I saw their stall at the local farmers market and the the thing that caught my eye was the "panini pressed" bao that looked amazingly delicious. They didn't sell this and explained this was an example of how it could be cooked but I did end up buying their pork baos and red bean baos to try at home. I steamed some tonight as a snacks and really liked the quality. The red bean bao had animal faces on them, the one I heat up was a panda, the bao itself was soft and fluffy while the red bean inside was very smooth and soft. The pork bao had some juices melted on the inside and it was amazing a pre-made bun had that melted soup layer. Pork was very good and I would recommend getting it. I went to the site and they deliver these baos as well as Chinese groceries and pre made food read more

Probably a three star joint but covid sucks so I'm bumping them up. They were at the Foster City Farmers Market on Saturday. I was waiting for my udon so figured why not check out the other vendors, Bun Bao being one of them. Now, I love me some char siu baos so of course I bought two packs. A pack of 4 frozen baos are $12. We got the char siu and their pork belly special. Cooking instructions can be found on their website... Why wouldn't they just list it on the side of the packaging? Anyways, steam for 15-20 minutes. They were pretty basic. The meat was really bland. Don't get me wrong they had a good bun to meat ratio which I appreciate, but it's like they needed a lot of salt or something. Overall, I wouldn't buy again. read more

I've picked up a few of these frozen bunbao at the Livermore Farmer's market, and I love having them in the freezer! I don't always have the time to steam them on the stove top when I'm starving, (it takes about 15 minutes after your water boils) -- but when I do, I'm always glad I did. Working from home, it's really useful to have something handy and ready to go other than just frozen mac and cheese. These always heat up great, even 6 months later, and the Northern Pork bao is my favorite! I asked for one not too sweet, and I love them. It's like a giant soy ginger meatball in a fluffy bun, and although the meat doesn't fill the entire bun when it's reheated, it's always moist and juicy. Love these for a quick no effort lunch at home! read more

I found this place while at foodieland and insistently knew it was a hit. I was happy to know that they had a website where I could order lore of their delicious baos. I ordered the day before and got it the next day in their time window that they texted me. I ordered 3 custard, 3 teriyaki chicken and 3 of their crawfish. I had their crawfish and custard at foodieland so I knew those two were good. I tried the teriyaki chicken and I would say it's okay, not something I would get again. I thought they would come warm but of course they wouldn't be good if they did, so I get that they tell to you warm it up by microwave, or steam. They have the instructions on the bottom of their box which is nice. Also, if you have seen them at foodieland and other markets just know they don't come delivered with character designs just regular white bun baos. You can also pick up if you want instead of having them deliver to you. I noticed that they only deliver during weekdays and not the weekends. read more

1st time ordering from BunBao & I didn't realize that they strictly do on-line ordering & they need a week to process your order. I was a little sad I couldn't take home the buns, but knew the wait would be worth it. So as I placed my on-line order with the help of a patient & kind employee who spoke English, I decided to choose the Tasting Bao consisting of 9 buns for $24. Since most of the buns look identical with the exception of the Panda bun & Paisley shaped bun, it was really great to have a chart identifying the type of bun so that it doesn't become a guessing game. I decided to try the Signature Pork Bao first. I was pleasantly surprised at how fresh & thick the bun was, with the right proportion of bun to meat. The pork was firm & was seasoned lightly. The Bok Choy Bao was chopped in small pieces & very fresh with just the right amount of flavor. The Shrimp Bao only had 1 piece of shrimp in it, so it would have been nice to have another piece to add more flavor, but over all it was still good. I have to admit the texture & freshness won my heart & am excited to hear they deliver to a local Farmer's Markets that is closer to home. Can't wait to try more BunBao's in the future! read more

There are cheaper baos sold close to my house- but I happily pay more for the fresh tasting quality & the variety of Bunbao. I love the egg & chive or various veggie options for breakfast- but also multiple options like lamb or pork bamboo or north or southern style pork baos as afternoon snack. During SIP BunBao has been a Lifeline! We have ordered produce, Uighur food, delicious ramen soup noodles, pork belly, seaweed salad, all kinds of dishes all delivered to our door ( free delivery w over $35). I order online & it's been accurate, efficient, on time every single time. read more

Tried their pop up shop at Tea Factory. They had some cartoon buns that are adorable. I tried both the red bean and custard. Not a fan of red bean in general but they were good. I like the custard ones more. The pork bun were a good size and had a good amount of meat inside. Tasty just lacking some sauce to go with it-but I added at home. Friendly staff and I love the pre-order and delivery options. Just no eating in. Only for take out. Looking forward to trying more buns. read more

Saw BunBao had a stall at the Belmont Farmer's Market and decided to give it a shot. After all, I like supporting small family businesses (their kid is adorable) and I'm sure it's tough to make sales at Farmer's Markets nowadays. Tried their "Tasting Bao Box" - $25 for 9 assorted, frozen bao. I haven't finished the package, but I absolutely loved the cheeseburger one (reminds me of cheeseburger hot pockets that were my favorite as a kid; I know, a little ratchet but haters be hatin) - and thought the signature pork bao was solid. It's hard to know what to compare BunBao to, since I haven't tried any products similar to it (frozen, but handmade). I don't think a comparison with grocery store frozen bao is fair, as those aren't handmade, nor is a comparison to a bakery fair either (as those aren't frozen). That said, I'm satisfied with $2.75/bao, especially with the ingenuity of the cheeseburger one. Definitely give BunBao a try! read more

Placed order and suppose to pickup at Saratoga Village Farmer Market. Went there and was told BunBar is no longer there for about a year. Called and nobody is answering the phone, and auto reply email says the order is in process and credit card has been charged. Is Bunbao out of business ? if not, very bad service then. I was the first batch of the customer when they just started business, and used to have delivery service and much better shape than today looks like. read more

I LOVE BunBao!!!! since discovering it earlier this year, I have already ordered here twice, each time spending over $120, and not regretting it AT ALL! I have also turned other people onto Bunbao and they love it too! Why do I love BunBao? 1. Their wide variety!! They are always updating the menu, adding new items, and they have SO MANY fun flavors for bao!! How can you not enjoy that? It's a foodie's dream. I love their fun flavors (crawfish bun is esp. good) but their traditional ones are amazing as well (molten egg custard is TRULY LAVA and the chives/noodle combo never fails!) I have tried EVERY SINGLE BAO flavor and I like them all. 2. They also rock with their other items!! Swiss Roll cakes? Yum! And their beef noodles.... OMG! It is amazing, surprisingly some of the BEST Beef Noodle soup I have found in the Bay Area. The flavor is so strong, so spicy, so salty - MMMMMm. And they use rice noodles, which are a pleasant, slippery, wonderful surprise! 3. THEIR FREE DELIVERY. They actually deliver themselves if you schedule an order ahead, and they are always on time, always so courteous, always so diligent to make sure you get your order and you get it right. They don't charge extra delivery fees or tips or ANYTHING just to bring you their food. I mean, how can you not appreciate that?? Goodbye, Doordash! 4. Pricing. They offer a bunch of deals, and buying $100+ worth of food for $20 off is honestly a really good deal! I'm spending $80ish that way for food for a WEEK for 2 people - that's about $6.50 per meal average per person!!! That's a good price!! If you haven't tried Bunbao yet, what are you waiting for?

I came across Bunbao when I was browsing through instagram and just by looking at the photos I KNEW they were going to be super amazing  First thing first, Their Baos are so freakin' adorable!!!! The team definitely puts a lot of effort in making them artistic and theme based. Since its Christmas time, my baos were Christmas themed (*Cute little tree, bow and one was a little duck..sooo cute!! It took me forever to get over their cuteness and actually eat them*)  For items on their menu, they have a good variety of things for almost everyone out there! Sweet Bao? YOU GOT IT. Savory Bao? YOU GOT THAT TOO!Literally, ask and you shall get it (Awseome blossom!!) This place is not like any other bao serving place I have been to, the baos are so fresh and tasty. They do not have a dine-in restaurant but instead deliver the baos to your doorstep, they also let you pick from their location ensuring they are always fresh and taste their best (I'm drooling even thinking about them now!!) I tried a couple of their items, for Savory my husband and I tried one each on Curry Chik, Cheeseburger (YES, you read it right, they have bao and cheeseburger blend and it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!), Bok-Choy. My favorite was the Curry Chik (Sorry, my Indian self took over and loved it more :P), it was soooo good, the bao bun was super soft and moist and the insides were in perfect proportion!  For sweet baos, my cute little box had three items, the snowman bao (They were named cutely too, I am still in awe!) which had red beans and two other baos, one with custard and one with taro filling. Honestly, I loved all three of those but red bean probably stole my heart a little more. To sum up my experience: I would give this place a DEFINITE 5/5 for food, for service, and for dressing up those baos (*Going Awweee in my head ahgain, sigh*) read more

BunBao - Tasting Box - Food Delivery Services Near Me - Fremont, California

Really cute buns but quite expensive. I got a Groupon, but otherwise probably wouldn't go back. The ordering process was a bit confusing because my Groupon didn't go through several times until I called. They have limited delivery options but you can pick it up at their place (forewarning: they're made fresh but you can't eat it there). The spicy crawfish was interesting but a bit too fishy for me. The cheeseburger bao was a surprise and probably my favorite of all the ones we got. The cute cartoon buns were cute but didn't have a lot of filling. read more
