Solid baos with Asian fusion and other global takes in the beloved baos that are often traditionally eaten with duck. We tried the Hogzilla, Glen Rhee, Firecracker Shrimp, and Cuban - we did a 3 bao combo for $15 and an à la carte bao for $5.50. The combo is a no brainer if you want a satisfying meal for 1 or a snack for 2, since it comes with a fountain drink while the baos are discounted 50 cents each. As we were a party of 2 , we went with 4 baos so 2 baos per person and it was a nice snack. The hogzilla is the pork belly which is decent - a bit on the saltier side but all the ingredients meshed well. The Glen Rhee is Korean beef which was a bit dry. Despite glowing reviews, I was a bit disappointed Firecracker shrimp was amazing. 4 pieces in the bao so definitely overflowing with shrimp, and the sauce that comes with it is filling and satisfying Cuban is their seasonal and has pork and chicharron. I was hoping there was a crunch from the chicharron but at least there was ample flavor - a reinvention of the Cuban sandwich This place is fast casual so you mostly seat yourself and bus your own table, fill your water, and grab your utensils and napkins. We were in and out within 30 minutes read more

The protein portions on these buns is very generous! The Bao fell apart towards the end trying to hold it all in. The pork belly in the Hogzilla was juicy and tasty. The beef in the Glen Rhee a little dry, but still tasty. I'd try a different Bao next time. The tots are crispy and tossed in a truffle sauce with cheese and chives. I parked in the lot behind the building, not sure if I should have, but it worked out for a quick pickup order. The vibe is casual, not a place you'd necessarily plan for a date night, and had limited seating. read more

I've been here before and the food was very very good. This time around it was not. Hogzilla: first time it was very flavorful and juicy. This time it didn't have as much flavor. Firecracker shrimp: the better of the 3 I had but way too much cilantro sauce. Usually I'm into a lot of sauce but it was very overpowering Coco Loco: shrimp was dry and the whole boa barely had flavor. Was trying to scoop the little mango pieces from the plate to get more flavo read more

Everything we tried was delicious. It wasn't too busy when we came in, so there was plenty of seating. I really enjoyed all the napkin art displayed on the napkin dispensers. There's also lots of colorful art on the walls. Our food was ready pretty quickly. My favorite things I tried were the avocado bao and the spicy chicken bao. Also the prices are super reasonable! $11 for two bao and a drink is pretty good! read more

10/10 location highly recommend it definitely is the easiest and access to Baos you will have and you won't be disappointed. The vibe is cool for a casual outing, or a group setting. Food comes out quick and tastes amazing, sometimes I when I get the hot chicken it comes a little dry. But I highly recommend here! read more

This place offers a surprising and refreshing assortment of fusion pan-Asian Bao. I had the HoiSin rib bao. It is very much a 'McRib' formed patty- formed in the shape of ribs, tucked in a bao. It was good but I'd have preferred a piece of barbecued rib more than 'patty'. Nevertheless the taste was very good. I just don't prefer mystery meat. I also had the hot chicken bao. That one was really good! The chicken was moist and tender and the guo chu Jiang sauce was on point with it. The best part of King Bao was the staff. Dude was fun to talk to, passionate about the bao he made - and about the cool fun sad scremo rock soundtrack he was bumpin' with the bao-making. Cool guy. read more

Food: the food is awesome. It comes out fresh and crispy. I usually get the 2 Bao combo that comes with a drink. The tots are cooked to perfection. I like the location because I can get a tea next door. Service: it went from a person cashier to a tablet. You don't get much interaction with them.

My friends and I went to King Bao for dinner and had an interesting experience, one that was a first for me here. There was a visible burnt oil smell in the air which ended up sticking to all our clothes and hair even after we left the smell stayed with us. Additionally, the smell and air was so strong that it was affecting our eyes. We had to leave immediately after eating because our eyes were starting to burn. Despite the atmosphere, the food was the highlight. I ordered the 3 bao combo which included an Elote bao, soft shell crab bao and a chicken curry bao. The buns were perfectly fluffy, and all the fillings were flavorful and well balanced. The service was average. read more

You can't go wrong with King Bao. Small, local chain. Always cooked to order promptly, with awesome flavors and a nice variety to fit any taste. Their sides are also seller but the baos are where it's at. The meal is very reasonable and the environment is small, casual, but inviting. The staff are also friendly and hard workers. I always recommend stopping in for a tasty, filling bite that won't break the bank. Enjoy the local artwork (some for sale!), the artistry that goes into these tasty baos, and be prepared to want to return to try more flavors! read more

My husband and I tried King Bao Mills for the first time. There wasn't a wait, you order on the kiosk and I love how it has the pictures. The Hogzilla, Cuban, Glen Rhee, Chicken Katsu Curry, Hot Chicken, along with truffle tots and street corn. Yeah... 2-3 bao and some tots are more than enough to get you full. It's the next day, and I still feel stuffed! The food was good--possibly the best bao in Orlando--but not as mind-blowing as some reviews made it seem. Each bao had a distinct flavor, which I appreciated. My husband really enjoyed the Hogzilla, and my favorite was the Chicken Katsu Curry. Overall, a solid spot for bao lovers. Would I come back? Definitely. Would I say it's life-changing? Not quite, but it's worth the visit! read more

It's been two years since my first review. Was in the mills area and decided to stop for a bite. As good as I remembered them to be! Adding recent menu prices.

I loved King Bao! My husband and I stopped by right at opening for an early lunch. We tried the soft shell crab bao, the pork belly bao, the Korean chicken bao, and one other that I can't quite remember. We also ordered the tater tots. Everything was reasonably priced and absolutely delicious! I got the combo with two baos and a drink, while my husband opted for the combo with three baos and a drink. Both were super filling and satisfying. The staff were very kind and helpful, and the atmosphere was laid-back with a cool, chill vibe. It feels like the kind of place I'd love to bring friends and hang out for a while. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is because we arrived at opening, and the door wasn't unlocked until five minutes after. There was even a girl waiting outside, knocking, before they finally let her in. Other than that, it was a great experience. I'll definitely be back. read more

I was disappointed from my last visit to King Bao. The guacamole on the firecracker shrimp bao wasn't fresh and the shrimp was lacking flavor. The fried cod was also bland. To me, the seafood baos tasted too similar and I wish they were more creative with the combinations. The baos themselves aren't that soft and pillowy. I did enjoy the truffle & parm tots, though. read more

I've been visiting King Bao for almost 2 years now and it is a staple in the Mills community. It is a great spot if you are in the mood to have multiple flavours, or to share with others. The baos are soft and fluffy, while the ingredients are fresh. I love the Nashville Hot Chicken and Japanese Katsu! Don't forget the tater tots, as they are the best part of the meal! I always order a little extra because the food reheats well in the airfryer. A star has been deducted because I've noticed that the baos are made with less sauce which impacts the flavour and moisture of the the bao filling. Overall, service and ambience are always wonderful and quick, making this place a must try! read more

As much as I was looking forward to this place, it unfortunately does not live up to the hype. I ordered two tofu baos and two chicken baos. Unfortunately, the chicken quality was terrible. I have not had worse chicken quality before. It was incredibly dry, impossible to bite, and extremely stringy. After a few bites, I had to unfortunately spit it out. On the other hand, the tofu option was much better. I liked the fry of the tofu, however, the curry sauce on it is a little too strong and covers up the flavor of the bao itself. Service is fine. Staff are not that friendly and seem to take a long time to even start making orders. Atmosphere is also not great. It's pretty dirty in general and could use more cleaning throughout the day. read more

Came here after seeing everyone raving about this place being cheap eats. It was a quick ordering process, and food was indeed cheap for how much we got. Got the 3 bao combo with Hogzilla, glen rhee and hot chicken + side of kimchi tator tots. All three of the baos were hefty and had really good flavors. The hogzilla had an amazing texture of the pork belly. It was succulent, juicy, and tender, with really nice supporting flavors. The glen rhee was also very good, although we wished there was slightly more of the apple salsa. The hot chicken was decent, but there wasn't a strong enough flavor nor spice. We think the pork and beef were good, with the chicken being our least favorite of the three. The tator tots themselves were pretty good. On par for a really good upscale tator tot texture: crunchy/crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The kimchi topping was good, but I didn't really think there was enough flavor. Maybe the kimchi could've been better or the spice would've been a lil bit elevated. Overall, decent place and good for cheap eats. 4/5 stars. read more

My ex-girlfriend and I used to order this as our weekend meal: Let me join with the chorus of all creation in saying King Bao is the King of Food. Just pick something and eat it it doesn't matter what you get on this menu. Get the loaded tots. Get some chicken. Get some seafood. It will all be perfectly prepared and perfectly prepared with the right ingredients. To call this amazing and quick and delicious and hot and to get it via delivery, that way, says something about the preparation of the food. It travels well. Order and be amazed if you try to eat, and you will be disappointed as I understand the shop has very little seating. I have never actually been downtown to the actual restaurant so your mileage may vary if you wanna drop in. read more

My wife and I frequent the Mills area for the awesome Asian food in the area. We had seen this place before and it was highly rated. We came in when they first opened, we ordered three bao buns, and some truffle tots. The tots were awesome! We were very disappointed in all three of the bao buns. I would say the bun and vegetables were great, but the meat just did not taste great. They had a special short rib one and it tasted like they cut a piece of a Mc rib off and put it in a bun. Overall, I think if you are in the area drinking, it is great after the bar food. But if you are looking for something of quality, I would skip this. read more

We really enjoyed this little place. Small on the inside, but perfect for a quick casual bite. You order at a kiosk so perk if you don't like talking to people. Prices were good for what you get.

Every time I'm in the area, I have to stop by for a quick bite. Their baos are small enough for a snack but savory and filling if you take advantage of their 2 or 3 bao combos with a drink. The baos come out so quickly, and everything tastes fresh and unique. I've yet to find another spot in South and Central Florida that offers such a good variety of baos. Recently, they installed ordering terminals, which made it easier to order and showed their menus variety. While there's not a lot of space to sit, this spot deserves a visit time and time again. read more

I have always wanted to try this place out! I love Baos so I was really excited to try a place dedicated to making them. The inside looks pretty run down and a bit dirty to be honest. The art was really cool though. The staff here were okay, did not seem happy to be there. I got the Glen Rhee Bao to try something a bit different. The Bao Bun was tough not soft and fluffy. The beef tasted old and a bit burnt. Very disappointing. Maybe it was an off day for them. I don't think I will be coming back here. read more

DELICIOUS bao buns. Love going every time I'm in the area. I've been going for many years now, and they never disappoint.

This is a great place that when I'm in the area, I'm always sure to make a stop at for a quick bite! Be aware if you're going on a weekend night; it will be busy, of course, and it may take a while to find parking on the street here. There's plenty of bao options, and I actually appreciate them transitioning to a touch screen ordering system so you can really take a few minutes to decide what you want. With bao being so filling, my go-to is their lunch combo with your choice of two buns and a drink. I went with the hogzilla and the glen rhee. The pork belly and the pickled carrots really add to the overall flavor of the bun, and the pork belly is absolutely mouth-watering and tender in every bite. The Glen Rhee pork was my favorite. Again, like the hogzilla extremely tender, but the flavor was just incredible. I love it when places add cilantro for garnish. The place is quite small, but I find there to be enough seating alongside the wall and window. The staff here are awesome and always kind. A great find in the Orlando area! read more

I'd never had bao buns before visiting, so when I was in the area my brother told me I had to check this restaurant out. From the outside it doesn't look like much; it's the epitome of a hole-in-the-wall so that got me excited. Inside there's some tables & counter seating available but I'm sure it could fill up quickly during their rushes. It was slow when I visited but the tabletops were clean & the food prep area looked pretty neat. The only negative thing I could say about my experience was the lack of customer service when I arrived because I wasn't welcomed by anyone. With that said, the food quality & speed of service definitely helped make up for that. For my choices I got the Kickin' Chicken, Hogzilla & Glen Rhee Bao. I was amazed at how soft the buns were & they all came out super hot. The combination of ingredients really worked with one another, there wasn't a single one that didn't taste delicious. My personal favorite was the Kickin' Chicken. The sriracha aioli & fresh cucumbers gave it a perfect balance of spice & cool. The breading of the fried chicken was light & didn't taste greasy at all. Offering 2 & 3 bun combos that come with a drink, this place gives you a bang for your buck. The buns are stuffed full & everything tasted fresh. The food is well worth 5 stars so I'll definitely come back when I'm in the area, I just hope the employees will be more welcoming. Coming here for my 1st bao experience has definitely set the bar high! read more

The boas were not what I was expecting and not tasty at all. The pork boa buns we buy from Costco are 100% better.

My friend mentioned this was a good place and it's right next door to the Royal Tea cafe. It's a small, intimate place that serves small bites and snacks. It does not have a lot of seating - if you go during a peak time, you might have a hard time finding a spot to sit. I got lucky and some folks left after we placed our order on the tablet. They have staple Bao buns and tater tot dishes and some specialty options that change regularly. I went for their chicken Katsu curry Bao and the Porky's Tatchos. Food is ordered on the tablet and you wait for them to call your name out. I think my order took no more than 3-5 minutes and it was freshly made. The Bao bun was flavorful and had plenty of curry sauce and a good sized piece of chicken in the Bao bun. The Tatchos were a bit messy and better eaten with a fork, but they were delicious. Parking can be a toss-up. You may find a spot on the street but only if you come early or get lucky. Do not park in the lot behind Royal Tea or the other lot on the other side of the fence of the Royal Tea lot - you will be towed! read more
