This is our favorite place to go when we want dumplings or bao! The service is always amazing and the food is incredible. Never misses. Definitely try it if you're in the area read more

Service was absolutely incredible. The owner is one of the sweetest people. All of our food was fresh, delicious, and homemade. Would absolutely recommend to anyone in Omaha! read more

Finally got a chance to try this place and it definitely something different. Nothing special to write about the dine in portion since I think most of their customers are "to go" orders or delivery. The bao were good, but nothing spectacular. I'll try the other items on their menu if we ever get a chance to come back. read more

We had one of our Supper Club group outings at Hip Bao a while back, and I have ordered delivery orders from them many times since. Each and every time, it has been consistently delicious and affordable! The ambiance when eating in is very colorful and fun. The staff we interacted with were all great about any questions we had or recommendations we asked for. We started with the Pork Potstickers. They were juicy and full of meat (no skimping, here!) that was perfectly cooked, along with plenty of sauce for dipping. Another starter we tried as the Dumpling Soup that comes inside a dumpling and gooshes out when you cut into it. The soup inside was salty and delicious, and I loved the style it was served in. Our last starter was the Beijing Noodle Soup. It came with Asian noodles, minced bits of pork, and lots of shredded veggies. It reminded me of a few other ramens I've had, but with a twist on it, as the meat was minced so it was a lot easier to have a bit of the meat in each bite/slurp! After our starters and soups, we obviously had to get a few bao buns each - I think we probably tried all of them when all was said and done. They have both steamed and fried bao buns, and we tried both. They definitely had a different texture than each other, but I liked them both; they were just different styles. My favorite was the pork fried bao bun. I liked the chicken and the beef steamed options too, but the pork seemed to work best as the protein along with the fried bao texture. Everything we had on our first visit (and that I've had in my subsequent orders) has been absolutely delicious and cooked expertly - so I don't think you can go wrong with anything you try! read more

I would give 0 if I could. I ordered pork bao yesterday and it was horrible. First of all, the bread to meat ratio was laughable; it was a tiny little meat ball surrounded by air. This leads to my second issue. Whenever I've had bao from other places, the meat is tender and well seasoned. The meat at this place was a small grey blob with no seasoning whatsoever and I question if it was actually "pork." The bao bun was doughy and tasted undercooked. Overall, an absolute failure. Do not recommend read more

The woman who runs the cash register, who I'm assuming is one of the owners, was one of the nicest, sweetest people I've ever met and even brought us out some free cinnamon chips to try that were a better version of Taco Bell's cinnamon twists. I ordered the vegetable fried bao, egg custard bao, and a vegetable spring roll. The egg custard bao was the star of the show for me and I learned I prefer the texture of the steamed bao over the fried so I'll go for the steamed vegetable next time instead. I've definitely had better bao in other states but I'm happy Omaha has a bao place nonetheless. I would skip the spring roll next time, it wasn't as flavorful as others. I'm excited to go back and try their dumplings, potstickers, and taro bao. read more

Something unique, off 84th and Center ST. To describe Bao, I couldn't give it justice and would recommend searching for Mike Chen or Strictly Dumpling on youtube and Bao. That being said I had a fried beef bao, with pork potstickers and was treated to a cinnamon desert. The dishes were very tasty and not over filling. They also had a vinegar based sauce that was a nice alternative to most soy based sauces that added to the flavor and wasn't overbearing. There was a gentle "clear your sinuses" sensation to the sauce but it wasn't as strong as some hot sauces or horseradish sauces tend to be. The server told me it was the mild one. I would definitely recommend Hipbao if you are in the area looking to try something different. read more

So yummy! We drive by here all the time and have never stopped until today. The woman that runs the restaurant is so nice and the food is so good. Two of us shared beef fried bao, beef, dumpling soup, and scallion pancakes. We also got to try the hot and sour soup which was delicious. Everything was served piping hot and we will be going back for sure! read more

I have been looking for a bao place in Omaha so I was excited to see how many options they have on their menu! The fried bao were very good but you can see the filling doesn't have much. I still enjoyed it. The dumpling soup I had to add some of the sauce they gave me to the broth since it was really lacking flavor, but once I did that I really liked it! Loved the texture of the dumplings. The inside of the restaurant was also pretty clean. However I am giving 3 stars because it was not as flavorful and wowing as I hoped! read more

My husband and I came here on a Thursday for lunch. It wasn't too busy, so we got our food within 10 minutes. It was hot, fresh, and tasted wonderful! We started with the crab Rangoon plus sweet and sour sauce. The triangle shape was different, but I loved the crispy edges! We got the juicy pork dumplings, and they were certainly juicy! The pork fried bao were another hit. We wish they would've had water available without having to buy a bottle, but that wasn't a big deal. Soda was available through a normal soda machine. We had fantastic service from the cashier, who looked like could have been the owner, and we'll certainly be back again. read more

I love Chinese and love bao (type of Chinese-style dumpling). This place left a lot to be desired. First, the pork dumpling noodle soup. The noodles were like those in a Campbell's chicken noodle can, except this broth didn't have much taste at all. The pork dumplings were tasty and there was a generous amount but I could not finish the soup because of the lack of taste. Next, the steamed-fried pork bao. The bun itself was pretty good and the meat filling not bad but gosh they were essentially empty buns (see picture). Some buns had less filling than that. They do give 6 bao in an order. I'd want to give this place another shot but probably won't return for some time. read more

Service was great the man at the counter helped with a recommendation. We got the steamed pork Bao and the steamed chicken Bao. They were both very soft and you get 6large baos for 8.99$ which I felt like was a fair price. My only complaint was the meat to breading ratio. I feel like there was very little filling and meat for the size of the Bao bun. But overall clean and different! read more

Nice to find a variety of foods out here in Omaha. This place is great for a quick bite and if you want to get away from burgers and pizza. The spot was nice and clean and the service was absolutely fantastic. The food was ok. The buns lacked fillings and seemed like they were frozen. The pancake was a bit hard - like it was twice fried and the beef used in the soup was chewy. read more

The food tasted amazing! Would seriously eat here everyday if I could. The staff are some of the sweetest people you'll ever meet, the lady at the cash register brought us sweet chips and candy while we were eating our meal. You could tell everything is handmade with care. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone!! read more

The food here is amazing. Service was impeccable and incredibly fast!! Family owned is the way to go. The restaurant is clean and quiet and a great place for a quick bite of delicious asian cuisine focused on bao , soups , and potstickers.

I ordered online for lunch on Friday. The service was very timely and my food was nice and hot! When picking up my food, the kind lady behind the counter reviewed my order and explained which sauce went with which food. The food? IMMACULATE. I got the pork potstickers and the pork dumpling soup. I was very impressed with both and the portion size was huge. I ate the rest for dinner! I am very pleased with Hipboa and will be back! read more

I was looking forward to trying this place out after hearing good things. I had the Beef Dumpling Noodle Soup and Chicken Bao. Both were ok, but they were both bland. Neither had much flavor to them. Maybe it was an off night? The owner, I assume, was very friendly. It's kind of a fast food atmosphere. read more

We tried chicken and pork pot stickers, along with the scallion pancakes. These were all delicious and I would totally order these items again. We tried the beef noodle soup, which okay. I don't think I'd try that again though. We will be ordering again! read more

We've enjoyed Hip Bao on two occasions, and each time, we were thoroughly pleased with both the bao and noodle soup selections. The dumplings, potstickers, and green onion pancakes were also delightful. We highly recommend this place. The lady at the counter is friendly and welcoming. You won't be disappointed with the food and service - it's worth a try. read more

I was on a work trip and was looking for an authentic dimsum spot for dinner. The lady was so sweet and kind. She got my food ready so quickly and all the food I order for take out was still piping hot when I got back to my hotel. She also made sure I have the dumpling sauce and chili oil in the bag. This spot may not look as appealing outside but what matters is their fresh hand made dumplings and baos that are wrapped so nicely and sure is with passion for this type of cuisine. The lady also said that they put extra pork wontons for me which I didn't expect. This place exceeded my expectations! I totally recommend this place to everyone. read more

HIPBAO - Pork & shrimp wonton noodle soup and Pork Fried Bao (6) - Dim Sum Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

We have been three times now and we've loved all the steamed and fried buns. Crab Rangoon is unique and delish. Very kind hostess; she showed us the ropes the first time we were in (what sauces go with what etc.). read more

Amazing!!!! Do NOT let the dine in area fool you. First time we got take out. Second time we ate in. We've had the pot stickers, the steamed bao, Beijing noodles and chicken dumpling soup. Not a bad review for any of these choices. Both times the service and reception was polite and swift. It is mostly self serve if you dine in....I hope traffic increases to where they can upgrade from plastic wear and small paper plates but that should not sway your decision to not try HipBao! read more

I ordered the taro steamed bao and the chicken fried bao. I ate a few of each on the way home and they were really good. I plan to order both again. I prefer the steam bao if it's fresh but if I eat it hours later the fried bao is better. The chicken in the bao had a good flavor. Maybe next time I will try to warm the steam bao in the microwave with a damp towel around it and it would taste better if it does get cold. The cashier taking my order was really nice and friendly too. read more

I have a love of all things bao, dumpling and potstickers. Give me all of the dumplings! Hipbao came through! Not pictured is the scallion pancake that we devoured in the car on the drive home. It was crispy and perfectly fried. The bao were filling, but light. But the big winner was the broth for the dumpling soup. It was so complex. Salty, umami, and just a hit of spice. Definitely going back soon! We went on a Saturday afternoon, it wasn't busy, we ordered there and it was about 15 minutes and our food was ready. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean! read more

Love this place! Hand made dumplings and Bao! The dumpling soup was fantastic and genuinely caring owner!

I ordered the pork wonton soup and spring rolls, one vegetarian and one pork. Considering that I was the only customer in the store, my food took in inordinately long time to come. The place overall is kind of dirty, the water from the soda fountain tasted like the filter should have been changed a while ago. The front and the back of the house had an unkempt look. The person taking my order, was largely uninterested in my presence, when I came in he neither welcomed me or offered a menu. Maybe he thought I was a regular and needed no greeting or offer of a menu. The vegetarian spring roll was flavorful, spicey and only a little greasy. The pork spring roll was pretty good too, it did not have that extra kick that the veggie roll did and in fact, the veggie was better. However, I thought spring rolls were the ones wrapped in rice paper and fresh veggies. These were more like egg rolls, but I could be wrong, so while I was expecting something different, there were still pretty good and came out fresh and hot. The wonton soup was full of so much flavor and the wontons were decently packed with filling, which was also pretty good. The get 4 stars for food and 2 stars for service and cleanliness. I will come back again and try more items from the menu, I just hope that in the meantime they some cleaning and training. read more

Ordered takeout from Hip Bao as I was craving pork buns. I ended up ordering panfried and steamed pork buns, chicken dumplings, scallion pancakes and custard buns. I'd say it had a bit of a generic supermarket quality but then again it was takeout so things may feel different. The portion was so right, though and fullfilled my craving. Their sauces were bomb and a good side to dip the dumplings and buns in. If you want high-end dim sum or chinese snacks, then this is not the place. But if you want a good standardized fast chinese food, then it's a definite recommendation! I will definitely order it again! read more

If you need healthy(er) food choices that are reasonable priced, this is a great option. Their dumpling soup is generous and filling. I tried their vegetarian version today, and it was very satisfying. They no longer offer their noodle salad, which I thought was really good. I've had their bao and I thought it was good, however I don't have anything to compare it to to know if it was average or better. read more

HIPBAO - Vegetarian dumpling soup - Dim Sum Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

HIPBAO is a newer Chinese establishment that is serving up some under represented food in Omaha- homemade dumplings, noodles and Bao. I hate to give 3 stars since the concept is amazing and I 100% love local businesses who want to share their (and in this case, my) culture with the Omaha community- butttt the execution needs just a little tweak to earn my 4-5 star rating. The location is convenient, and there is plenty of parking. The inside is simple, clean, and has a casual vibe. To-go and dine in are equally easy, but it has a more to-go vibe. On my first visit, I tried the chicken, pork and beef bao, as well as the veggie and pork pan fried dumplings. On my next visit I plan to try the noodle dishes. I CAN tell that the items are homemade, which is great. I thought that the dumplings and bao were a little too oily for my liking though, and would prefer them to be dabbed or drained better before serving. Easy fix, I think. Would not hesitate to try more menu items, I found the pricing here to be very reasonable. I will return, hopefully with a 4 star update. read more

As someone with an Asian background, I really appreciate that there is food like this in Omaha! With this in mind, I had somewhat high expectations before trying the food, so I was kind of disappointed due to a few factors. The main two things I think could be improved are the texture of the bao skin and the amount of filling in the bao. The skin on the bao wasn't as soft as I would've preferred, and there wasn't enough meat to create a good ratio of "bread" and meat. However, since these baos are smaller, I can understand that it's difficult to achieve this ratio. On a happier note, I think the dumplings and wontons are pretty well made, and the food overall has pretty good flavor! Also, I ordered online and thought that their online interface was well organized. I've read a couple comments about how "dirty" the restaurant is, and I don't necessarily disagree. However, I actually feel like the inside of the restaurant matches that of many authentic Asian restaurants. While I agree that it's not the cleanest place, it actually gave me a taste of nostalgia because many authentic Chinese restaurants I grew up eating at have a similar vibe. read more

HIPBAO - a variety of food items laid out on a table - Dim Sum Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

We stopped by HipBao very excited. Our order was a 6 piece steamed Bao mix (chicken, beef, pork), Shanghai Pan fried bao and noodles to go. When we got home we were ready to enjoy but as we began to taste the dishes the entire meal left much to be desired. Steamed bao - felt like nothing but dough and the little trace of meat lacked flavor. The pan fried bao was not edible. It was hard and SUPER greasy. Let's see if they refund my money when I bring it back. Edit - they did issue a refund and were open to the feedback. Hopefully this was a one off. read more

Came in tonight for the first time. Service was fantastic and she was so nice. The scallion pancake was good we also got the beef fried bao which were amazing. The bao dough was slightly sweet and reminded me of fry bread which with the crispness of it went great together. I had the pork dumpling soup which was very good if you like dumplings. My SO had the BBQ beef vermicelli noodles and said they also were good. It was very quite in there but there's lots of space to eat or take home. Will definitely be back. read more

We were a bit disappointed. I had heard about Hip Bao and wanted to try it. We happened to drive by when we were looking for a place to eat. Hip Bao is in a small strip mall. The restaurant isn't super inviting--maybe a bit sterile. When we arrived it was empty. The young man at the counter didn't seem super interested in answering any questions. We are familiar with potstickers but not bao. We ordered two orders of potstickers: pork and chicken and the fried pork bao. Previous reviewers loved the sauces that were available. Today, the only "sauce" was chili oil that was extremely hot. I like hot. I could not tolerate this. In addition there was soy sauce and vinegar on the table. The potstickers were fine. Nothing amazing. The ones we make at home are much better. These were fairly greasy. They were served on a coffee filter placed on a paper plate. We weren't given plates to eat on so we used the paper plates under the coffee filters. We were excited to try the pork bao. They were completely burnt on the bottom. I had to cut the bottoms off to eat them or the only flavor was burnt. I am really disappointed. Both the service and the food were lacking. read more

Omaha's "Chinese" restaurants are generally terrible: egg foo young, moo goo gai pan, and General Tso's chicken, slathered in syrupy sauce and MSG. That's why HIP BAO is such a standout: authentic Chinese food. I've ordered from UberEats multiple times and have always been pleased. The Beijing Noodles are excellent, with noodles of almost perfect consistency and and the pork+bean paste topping is chock-full of that Chinese je ne said quoi. The bao are delicious, especially just the steamed bao. That being said, as many reviewers on here note, the texture of the bao skin is a bit rubbery and they aren't as fluffy as one would like. Taste-wise, however, they rack up their 5-stars handily, with authentic Chinese flavors. If this restaurant were in a metro with a better selection, I would have given them 4 stars. In Omaha, HIP BAO outshines all of the other pan-Asian wannabes. Are there any other authentic Chinese places in Omaha I'm missing? read more

Ordered the scallion pancakes and was super disappointed. It was so greasy! And they just sprinkled occasionally scallions. The steamed buns remind me of the frozen buns at the market and warmed up. The fried buns were much better but even the stuffing was pretty blend. It did make me want to try to make my own home buns.. read more

I've tried this place twice now and I'm just not impressed. We've had a few different soups and they all have a good flavor and nice spice to them. The wontons for the wonton soup were almost too much. I appreciated getting so many wontons with my soup but it wasn't a good ratio and I ended up having some left over after finishing my soup, which would be fine except they were too chewy without the soup accompanying them. The steamed bao has been dry both times I tried it. The second time I ended up putting it in my store bought ramen the next day for lunch and it was really good since the dough soaked up a lot of the soup. The spring rolls are good but nothing exceptional. If I go back I would get them again just because I know they're a safe choice here. Overall, I wouldn't mind going back to try a few menu items as I typically like bao, but I've yet to find anything spectacular at this restaurant read more
