Super quick and convenient! Everything tasted fresh and piping hot! The waitstaff was super friendly and helpful

Steamed Pork Soup Dumpling
Simone E.

Was working overnight and my co-worker and I ordered from here for some late-night eats. We ordered the following: MR. Bar Fried Rice with shrimp, steamed pork soup dumplings and create your own rice bowl. Her rice bowl had the following : jasmine rice, 48-hour braised Galbi beef, and garlic cucumber salad. The total was $40.00 with the added fees. Upon arrival, everything was sealed tight and there was no spillage. They included forks and knives, but no condiments. The soup dumplings were fairly decent, but the flavors weren't distinct. Now, my fried rice took me off guard, it was better than I expected for a late-night meal. The only thing I would have changed is no egg. My co-worker said she thoroughly enjoyed her rice bowl. Some direct quotes are, Cucumber salad was "particularly good" and the meat was "tender and flavorful. " In all, I would recommend Mr. Bao's for a late-night meal. I am curious about the rest of the menu! (This 3.5 / 5 rating )

I came here for a snack with a friend. We shared a few things. Everything was delicious. Then I ordered a bunch of things for my other friends and I to try, who I was going to meet afterwards. We tried the Blue Crab & Pork soup dumplings, Boiled Beef & Onion Dumpling, Fried Buns (Mantou), Bao, Steamed Shumai, Boiled Chicken & Cabbage Dumplings, Pan Fried Shrimp& Park (with Squid Ink). Everything was really delicious and was fun to share. Would deffintely come to this location and order from them again. Great service, and fresh food.

Inside

Loveeee it here! It was a last minute stop and the food was amazing! The service is also very nice and prices aren't too bad!

Wrap

Food: was craving dumplings and stumbled upon this place and went a little crazy ordering items that looked yummy (didn't help that I was also pretty hungry at the time I was ordering)! Ordered 2 short rib gua bao, chefs mix, garlic cucumber salad, steamed pork soup dumpling, and braised short rib wrap. My favorite was the soup dumpling and garlic cucumber salad! My least favorite was the wrap, I felt that it was pretty "small" in size from what I'm usually used to! Cost: cost want too bad, in total everything was roughly less than $50! This amount of food feed two people comfortably. Environment: can't say too much about the inside of the restaurant because I ordered this to go! But maybe next time I will decide to enjoy their food inside. Service: it took about 30-45 minutes for the order to be ready. Uniqueness: love the colorful different buns that came in the chefs mix!

Food: dumplings, Asian Service: all the servers were super nice and helpful Ambiance: small inside, perfect for takeout The noodles I got were awesome and the dumplings are spot on. I'll have to try more of the menu since this is definitely a pit stop to most of my destinations in Brooklyn

Tuesday 12/22, 8PM was in the area to get Thai food (at Mee Thai for outdoor dining); found out they don't have seating and it's only take out. So... Plan B- Hubby & I saw across the street, Mr. Bao had outdoor dining. We yelped it quickly to see what was good and went inside to order (door is heavy and need more force to open). Soup Dumpling in Park Slope area?- got to try that! -We ordered- Popcorn Chicken Pork soup dumpling 48hr braised galbi beef rice bowl with garlic cucumber salad & water bottle Aged soy braised pork belly rice bowl with stir fried string beans & water bottle They gave us a small beeper and we sat outside waiting. Everything was in boxes on a wooden tray. I asked for hot sauce (they have chili oil) for the soup dumplings. I wish there was sauce for the popcorn chicken (I was expecting some sort of aioli sauce, or sweet chili sauce, or even spicy mayo would be delish) but it is good on its own as well. The soup dumpling was very sesamely but juicy. The beef rice bowl was drier than expected- I suggest more sauce while the pork belly was very soft, melty in your mouth and delicious. I recommend the pork belly instead of the gabli beef.

Spicy Sesame DanDan Noodles
Sammi K.

I was in the area and was deciding on something to eat for lunch before I stumbled on this restaurant. I was craving some popcorn chicken and decided to also get a spicy sesame dandan noodles to compliment it. I'm glad I did because I really enjoyed the noodles. I've made something similar at home and wanted to see what this dish should actually taste like, and it was delicious! It was very saucy, with the sesame sauce at the bottom and the meat/chili oil at the top of the bowl - mix well before eating! It was very fragrant and had a good amount of spice, not too much to the point where it's painful. The popcorn chicken, however, was mediocre. I was hoping for some big, juicy pieces, but found that they were small pieces and were a little too salty and dry for my taste. It came with a dipping sauce and it helped, but it just tasted like mayo. If I'm ever in the area again, I would love to try their dumplings!

Various dumplings, popcorn shrimp, and veggie sides.
Gee P.

This place is LEGIT! We ordered Chicken & cabbage boiled dumplings, popcorn shrimp, pork & crab soup dumpling, pork & chive pan fried dumplings, beef & onion pan fried dumplings, cucumber salad, and string beans. All were seasoned very well. The only thing was the popcorn shrimp came soggy-but that's because it's probably not a good dish to order delivered since it's all steamy inside the container. The flavoring was great. I would order here again for dumplings any time the craving hits. All the other dumpling shops in the nabe cannot compare to Mr. Bao.

Amazing food and place. The only thing is that one is not enough. I had to order more because I was not full. They are delicious and soft.

I loved that we all got individual vinegar ginger dips - Crab + Pork Soup Dumplings: 9/10 - better than the Pork! The skin wasn't as thick for our batch - Scallop Soup Dumplings: 7/10 - not a huge fan of the flavor, but I like that they don't skimp on the scallop! - Shanghai Lo Mein & Shanghai Style Rice Cake: 7/10 - they could've had more wok fry, but good flavor - Fried Wonton in Peanut + Hot Sauce: 8/10 - I really enjoyed this dish! It's not very spicy + topped with a crushed peanut/sugar flavor - so good! - Braised Pork Belly: 8/10 - pretty heavy, unless you eat it with the bao buns. Very flavorful, and may go good with a bowl of rice as well! - Scallion Pancake & String Beans: 9/10 - standard + yummy! Overall, it was a good place for a meal, but I personally had better soup dumplings elsewhere. Otherwise, everything else is alright!

Four of us had dinner here on Labor Day evening. When we arrived, we were told to expect a fifteen…read moreminute wait for seating, and it was pretty much on the dot. A carafe of water was promptly brought to the table. We took a long time with the menu because it is extensive, and wonderful. We finally agreed on Crab & Pork Soup Dumplings, Kau Fu, Dry Sautéed Green Beans with Meat, Salt & Pepper Squid, and Shanghainese Style Rice Cakes. The Kau Fu arrived first, and was truly exceptional, with large, firm, and juicy chunks of seitan, and a good sprinkling of large, not rubbery tree ears. My friend who said she didn't like seitan tried it, and liked it a lot. Kai Fu has a slight licorish flavor, and is a little sweet. We finished every bite. Moving on to the soup dumplings, the broth was delicate and the skins were thin and tender, altogether the best I've had in a long time. The green beans were perfect, seared and crispy, as they should be, with ground pork and a little pickled veg. The rice cakes were appropriately chewy, and we enjoyed the baby bok choy, mushrooms, and shrimp in the mild sauce. The squid was the only dish that wasn't perfect, being a little bland and a tiny bit too chewy for the size of the pieces. The service was attentive without being too much. We were offered hot tea, and a second carafe of water, without having to ask. The noise level from the other diners was a bit high for me, but I put my hearing aids on the noisy/party setting, and I could hear my friends, which was the important thing. We all agreed that we needed to come back again (and again) to try other dishes. I especially want to have the Hong Kong style Hot & Sour soup, which you can't get at most Chinese restaurants.

Have been here a few times since my last review so wanted to update on the improvements…read more 1. Soup Dumplings - def one of the better ones in Chinatown. Skin pretty thin so they pop really easily 2. Garlic Cucumber - kind of bland, we added the chili oil to make it taste better 3. Pork & Shrimp Shumai - filled with meat, steamed fresh, at least 2 small shrimps per piece 4. Beef Shanghai style noodles - much better this time!! My issue last time was that it was SO SALTY. It's wayyy better this time. Kind of oily for my taste but the flavor was there!! I like that the seating is spacious and they don't try to cram tables and people right up on top of each other even when there's a line out the door.

I've been meaning to try this place for a while and finally got the chance to today. Not very busy…read moreon a Sunday afternoon so seating wasn't an issue. Our host/server was very prompt in greeting us with menus and ice waters. We ordered crab and pork soup dumplings, steamed rice rolls with hoisin and peanut sauce and oxtail in curry sauce. Everything came out within 10min of ordering and was piping hot. Crab and pork soup dumplings- the tops of the dumplings were fairly dry but the soup and dumpling itself had a nice flavor Steamed rice roll w/ hoisin and peanut sauce- Exceptional! The rolls were soft and light not sticky and dense. They were cut up bite size and the sauce was ample. I grew up eating from Cheung fun carts which are and still are easy to come by BUT the actual good ones are hard and far to come by. E Noodle definitely invokes that nostalgic feeling of being a kid and your parents dragging you to Chinatown early on a SAT/SUN morning so that you can carry the groceries but you knew your one reward was being able to see the elderly Cheung fun lady w/ the cart...Next time I will def add fish balls. Oxtail w/ curry sauce- we def enjoyed this dish and was pleasantly surprised at how tender the oxtail was. Can't wait to comeback and try other items on the menu.

Wontons are the star here - fresh, thin-skinned, and tasting home made. The soup was a bit salty,…read morebut the rice noodles hit my cheung fun craving, even though I wish they were flat, wide noodles with a little bok choy for a heartier lunch. The container they used to separate the noodles from the soup was a genius idea; I was worried there'd be no broth left by the time it arrived, but everything held up really well. The preserved egg and pork congee was just okay, but overall they clearly do wontons and noodles well. I wouldn't do delivery again, but I'd happily come back for takeout or dine-in and try more dishes.

The food is why we are all here and this place did not miss! We sat at the bar because we didn't have a reservation and it was a Sunday night.

The only other place I've had soup dumplings as good is in flushing - that's high praise from this queens girl. Next up we ordered the scallion pancakes - which ruined all other scallion pancakes for me. They were ultra crispy and flaky. The dipping sauce was deeply flavorful and the portion was perfect. We also ordered the chicken wantons that came in a chili crisp oil and peanut sauce, delicious. The pork noodles were the secret star because the description was pretty straight forward. But my partner is a chef and insisted we get them. They were some of the best noodles I've ever had. Definitely made in house and they were coated in a flavorful sauce. The crispy garlic chicken was so good that I had to take it to go because we were stuffed, still amazing the next day. The bartender with the cool tattoos that gave me extra coconut candies, you are truly amazing and really made us feel well taken care of. Can't wait to come back and try mo
