I've been wanting to come here for a few trips since this place opened, finally pulled the trigger (I typically get Aloha Smoothie Bowl literally every single day of my week vacations each year). I got the pork belly bao, the pineapple shrimp bao and the chicken bao. All were very fresh and served hot -- the outdoor seating is nice too if you want to dry off from the beach a little bit and enjoy the sun while eating. It's really unique to see bao on a boardwalk, but it works and would definitely come back. read more

On our walk back to the hotel from downtown, we came upon this place. It exudes fast casual vibes with only bao sliders and rice bowls on the menu. Given it was nearing baby's bedtime, we decided to order the food to go. Unfortunately, my order went in just when the white rice ran out so I had to wait for fresh rice to be made. An otherwise 10 minute wait went to over 20 minutes. It was our bad luck. My husband left with the baby while I continued to wait for the food. The bowls were fresh. I liked the curry tofu bowl a lot. Someone must have spent a lot of time cutting the broccoli and cauliflower to the smallest of pieces. They were also still crunchy which I was surpirsed that I liked. Usually they can be so easily overcooked, especially when they're cut so small. The short rib could have been juicier and less salty. Overall, a good spot. Just time it when the rice is bountiful. read more

This is nice spot to get some a good size snack near the beach. They specialize in Asian buns that are about the size of an adult palm. I got two buns with pork and one with duck. I loved the two buns I got, they had some delicious authentic savory flavor. The food was cooked to perfection. It had a great balance of sauce, protein, and pickled veggies. I can recommend the buns no problem. The portions are good as a snack between meals, I wouldn't recommend trying to make this a proper meal. The pricing for the three buns is not bad. If you asked me 2 years ago if the price was too high I would've said yes. But now living in a world of $8 hot dogs, I would say $15 for 3 buns isn't too bad. It's a little high purchasing them individually (like if you wanted to try 2 different ones). So just commit to one flavor or bring a friend who will try a different one than you. I do need to bring up a very bad point though. The classic bubble tea I ordered was disgusting. Bubble tea is supposed to be sweet and refreshing. What I got was bitter and pungent. There was clearly not a single sweetener used, and I suspect whatever tea was used as a base was incorrect as well. The staff needs to be trained on how to make a proper bubble tea. Have them taste one from Cape May Pho & Bubble Tea in Court House or one from Icy Boba in Wildwood. They need to know what this is supposed to taste like. I took a few sips of the drink before abandoning it altogether. Bubble tea aside, I can recommend coming here if you wanted something different. Service was quick and I was able to get in and out within an hour. I don't think you can eat food like this anywhere else in the county. read more

I never written a bad review before so this will be my first! (to my boyfriends request) here's the issues he told me he has with the food: - not really bao buns, more like bao taco - price to amount of food ratio was "outrageous" in his words (16$) - wait time was around 25 minutes even though no one was there The food was destroyed when he got it also, completely fell apart, and they stuck to the cardboard, so half of the food had cardboard in it. I noticed the workers were kind, this place has potential since there aren't many Asian restaurants in cape may! The bowls looked really good, I think this may only be an issue with takeout from this place Would love to see some improvement from this place! read more

Stopped in for some small bites during the beach day. Foo Bao offered a peaceful, air conditioned space and a partially shaded outside seating area during midday. The snacks were tasty and the promenade people watching was enjoyable. read more

Great experience - highly recommended. Stopped in to escape the heat and get a quick lunch. Nothing but a positive experience. Order at the counter with very friendly service (and a good recommendation) and then they bring it to your table. The sesame chili chicken bowl was the right mix of just a bit sweet and spicy, without either overpowering the taste. Will definitely return and try the baos! read more

What a lovely addition to Cape May. It's hard to walk by here without feeling enticed to come in because of their bright interior with tastefully appointed colored chairs and bowls. The menu is more expansive than I would have expected (the usuals like shrimp, chicken, tofu but also pork, salmon and duck), and they have bao buns or bowls. They serve pickled veggies with both, and I absolutely adore the little grilled cucumber; it's such a nice touch. The tofu curry was excellent and a great portion size. The owners Amy and Lou are welcoming and really know the locals and have a knack for remembering names. It feels great to support a place like this, and we'll definitely be back next time we are here! read more

Street parking is available. This is right by the beach so very convenient for the daytime/ lunch. The shrimp bao and the chicken bai and they were good. The shrimp with rice and the chicken with rice were just okay - they were essentially the same filling in the baos. read more

Despite the hype, it didn't live up to anything spectacular. On the onset, the service was rude. The cashier literally couldn't answer a single question without attitude. She got my order wrong and then blamed me when she failed to clarify, insinuating it was my fault. Perhaps it was, but likely it was both of us, however, the way she responded was poor customer service. Not a single asian person in sight, what an ominous sign. The papaya salad was absolutely disgusting. It lacked the tang and zing that a papaya salad should have and was a complete disgrace. The baos were better but still not as great as one would expect for the price that they charge. These prices were the same as they are in a big city and the ingredients did not taste fresh, the actual bao itself was breaking down and they skimped on the meat. I would not return. read more

Cute little restaurant located on Ocean Ave in the line of shops beside the beach, adjacent Convention Hall. Great little place for bao buns and bowls. We had a variety of the bao buns - the chicken, the duck (loved it), the short rib, and the bbq. All were delicious, flavorful, and unique. They also offer a variety of Asian inspired beverages - also quite good. The cost versus quantity was a little high, but didn't diminish our dining enjoyment. The staff were pleasant, cheerful, and helpful. All in all a definite "recommend". read more

Good lunch stop as leaving a deserted Cape May on Sunday, December 3. Empty store, so our orders of Pinapple aoli shrimp bowl and braised pork belly were served up quickly. Having to feed with provided chopsticks made it entertaining, but food was great. Plenty of shrimp in my bowl, and flavorful sauce. Total was about $40 for two bowls. I bet this unique offering rages during summer months- but today, it was equally great- read more

The food here was amazing, and the service was good. My friends and I got the pork belly bowl, pulled pork bowl, and the mix and match baos--all really good. The vibes were chill. Highly recommend! read more

We got a pulled pork, a chicken, and a short rib bun. I usually love bao buns but we really only enjoyed the short rib bun. For the price, I was hoping there would be a bit more protein/topping on each bun. Cute place just not sure I'll be back! read more

Excellent food every time at Foo Bao. Never disappointed. The food is Clean. Tasty, Fresh and fairly priced. We live full time in Cape May. Foo Bao has become our "go to" restaurant...eat in or carry out. And yes, the staff and owner are very nice.....polite, pleasant and nice to be around.... read more

We enjoyed our take-out dinner from this new establishment in Cape May, but there is a good sized and nice indoor seating area as well as a small outdoor side seating area. We each ordered three buns. Each of us had one with short ribs and one with lobster. One of us tried the duck and the other one had pulled pork. The short ribs bun turned out to be the favorite one! Extra yummy! This take-out dinner was a nice change of pace. It was a light dinner with a good amount of flavor. The friendly young man who was working the register did a great job of organizing our order so each person's meal was packaged correctly. We would certainly return to this place next year! read more

Stopped by for a snack last night, ended up having a full dinner! Everything was delicious and house made with fresh ingredients. We started with the short rib bao, an explosion of Asian flavors and contrasting textures provided by the soft bun and crunchy vegetables and fried shallots. We decided to order the yellow curry tofu with vegetables, which was equally flavorful. The coconut "pudding" was a nice ending to the meal, a riff on the traditional Thai dessert. The guy who took our order was warm and welcoming, and his recommendation of the basil limeade as a not too sweet drink was spot on. We enjoyed talking with the chef/owner, who clearly knows food and enjoys what he's doing. Highly recommended! read more

A great little spot right by the beach whether you're hungry for a snack or a meal. They offer delicious boa buns that are my go-to whenever I stop by Cape May. My personal favorite are the Sesame-Chili Chicken boa buns. They offer their boa buns as single buns or 3 buns which make it perfect for trying their different flavors and even trading them with whoever you are dining with. The Lychee Soda pairs great with the food, providing the sweetness to match the salty/savory flavors. Service is very quick and the ambience has a cool vibe, perfect for being right on the beach. read more

This was our first stop and our last stop while visiting Cape May. Everything on the menu is absolutely delicious so it is hard to pick a favorite dish. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine warmth and hospitality that immediately set the tone. What truly made the experience memorable was the staff -- especially the sous chef. This will absolutely be a must-stop for us every time we're in town -- it's just that special. read more

We decided to try a bunch of different bao ( Duck, Short Ribs, Salmon and Shrimp) for our first time and we are so glad we did. It was so good we decided to go back the next day to try the other Bao and the rice bowls. Service was super friendly and there is seating both inside and outside which was nice. read more

This place is open and delicious! They said they just opened 3 weeks ago! I tried 3 different bao- the short rib, lobster, and shrimp and all of them were fresh and delicious! Perfect! I got the food to go, but they had a lovely little patio out front so I ended up eating there. read more

We actually ate here 3 times during our 1 week vacay. The buns and bowls were so good! Our favorite was the shrimp buns and the pork belly buns. The servers were all great. We loved the option of eating inside after shopping and outside after the beach. Everything was clean. read more

This restaurant is OPEN! Food was superb, not just because you're up against chicken fingers, fries, lobster rolls, and pancakes in the beach zone, but on its own it is excellent. The ingredients were quality, from the salmon, to the short rib, and chicken bao, and all of the sides and mango sticky rice were fresh as could be, presented well, and flavored well. Service was very attentive for a fast-casual concept and you could see that the chef-owner has instilled passion in the craft to the entire staff. Our party of 8 including two kids were raving. This is a hidden gem! read more

Great food, really well seasoned and authentic. Nice service and a beautiful space right off the beach!

Absolutely incredible! Tried several buns and every one was delicious. Service was also super friendly and quick

Quaint and intimate atmosphere. Friendly service. We tried 4 different types of buns and all were fresh and delicious. The bao is soft and fluffy and our favorite was the pork skin! The crunchy texture of the pork skin with the fluffy bao bun is amazing. All of the meats were flavored well. The best bao I have had yet! read more

My family and I loved this place! It has delicious, healthy food options and great service. We got both the sliders and rice bowls. The basil lemonade and Thai ice tea were amazing too. I would highly recommend this new food spot to anyone who is in the area. read more

Delicious!!! The duck and pork belly were the best sliders. There was kind of a weird sewage smell. But food was worth it!

I'm still craving these sliders! Pack of 3 sesame chili chicken buns or the curry tofu buns, and a side of pickled carrot & radishes are my go to. Just had the lychee soda - yumm! Great spot for lunch right next to Cape May convention hall and the beach. read more
