not enough chicken, rice was soggy, and waiter was annoying. don't order the bowls! It did have a short wait, though.

If you are looking for cat food mush this is the spot to check out. I was disappointed by the quality of this establishment. Unfortunately, my short experience with their products before departure was unsatisfactory, leading me to throw it away. To avoid a similar letdown, I recommend opting for Pizza Hut, where you'll find a more reliable f experience--the difference in quality is striking and, amusingly, quite apparent. read more

Wow Bao - Chinese Near Me - Dulles, Virginia

A tiny little shop in the busy Dulles airport ~ I don't expect much from airport food and was extremely hungry so this was the nearest and open spot to go to. Service is super quick since everything is prepared/already made (just kept warm). I tried the hibiscus iced tea - it was okay; a little too tarty and nothing special. Also got two bao buns and they were dry + lack of flavoring, and smaller in size comparison. Out of all the items, the dumplings were the best but still not that great tasting overall. Pretty oily, soggy, but more flavor than the drink and baos. Airport food is pretty pricy but for the items; the baos were $4 each, the dumplings were about $1.25 each and the drink was $3.30. I want to say not bad pricing total of $22.50 for two people but definitely would have rather grabbed a Starbucks sandwich Overall, works recommend 4/10 for quickness to just grab content to eat but not so much for taste~ read more

Worthless food. I order chicken bowl. It has only rice and peanut. Don't waste your money at this place. It's a scam.

If you really want to have some Chinese food, this is still not the place to go, the crews are pretty ashamed of the food quality so the attitude is pretty bad too. Should have looked up the reviews first. read more

Looking for something quick? This spot has got you covered. The staff members were nice and quick to serve. Looking for some quality food? From my experience, the quality is subpar. I wouldn't go out of my way to get Wow Bao. But it fulfilled my hunger. I found the dumplings to be akin to buying frozen dumplings and making them myself on the stove. Nothing special here. The spicy kung pao chicken bowl had a good portion with decently tasty sauce. I could taste the spiciness and sweet kung pao flavor, but yet, no wow factor. read more

The worst food I've had in a long time. I tried the chicken teriyaki bowl and two baos-- chicken teriyaki and roast pork. Everything was terrible, overcooked, lacking in meat. The portions were small yet I couldn't stomach finishing the bowl because it was so salty and tasted bad. Big waste of money. Do not go here if you're at a DC airport. read more

That was nasty and not worth the airport pricing. Good: fast and hot and almost tasteless Bad: the taste, the texture, the taste. Also-what happened to that he bacon in my breakfast thing Did I say it was nasty read more

Wow Bad. It's still hard to find good airport food. Prices are also out of whack from the quality. Here at Dulles is an example of each. The good thing is that portions are small so less food will get wasted. I had the Green Vegetable Dumplings. It's about $5 for the small portion. This is seriously such a small portion. In the box were only a few of flimsy modestly sized dumplings. The dumplings amazingly weren't so terrible. It was okay thanks to the side of the soy sauce. This is where most of the flavor was. Inside of the dumplings were not much. There appeared to be some tiny pieces of tofu but there were mostly some minced unidentifiable assorted vegetables. Outside the dumplings were already dry and hard. The sauce helped it taste better only kind of. This still wasn't as bad as something in an airport could be. It did have a bit of flavor. There's also outlets at the counters so there's places to plug in your phone and sit. read more

Wow Bao - Green Vegetable Dumplings - Chinese Near Me - Dulles, Virginia

When faced with airport food, Wow Bao is a great option. Refreshing options compared to "staple" airport food like pizza and Starbucks. I had the Ginger Chicken potstickers and the pork bao. Service was fast just as you would need it to catch a bite before your flight. I didn't intend to rhyme like that, it just happened. read more

Wow Bao - Ginger Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Dulles, Virginia

This is an airport concessionaire soiling the Wow Bao name. The chicken teriyaki is almost completely devoid of chicken and floating is this thick odd gravy on a bed of rice. It is like the rations you may receive at a soup kitchen only you are paying $20 for probably a 1 dollar meal. Hopefully, either the airport or the real Wow Bao will enforce some minimum standards. read more

I've never had whole wheat bao before. It was an interesting texture. It was the only bao on menu without meat so that was my only option. The taste was just ok. It definently needed some kind of spice or sauce. I think that would have improved it tenfold. At least the food came out quickly? read more

Actually in shock that they had the audacity to send out food thats raw and falling apart. I'd rather eat microwaved soup dumplings and it would of still turned out better. read more

Wow Bao - Bowl 3 Dumplings - Chinese Near Me - Dulles, Virginia

The price point for the bao was way too expensive. Wanted a change instead of the usual muffins. Would have gladly paid the price if the portions were a little bigger. It was delicious though. A few dim sum dishes would have been nice too. read more

This place should have been named ow Wow. Because it could have easily been confused with a gourmet pet food restaurant. I have wined dined sipped and sucked in Chinese restaurants all over the world including hong kong and this place is the worst. I ordered the kung pao chicken and had the carrots not been identifiable and had it not had peanuts I would have never recognized it as kung pao chicken. The. Hick3n was brown and mushy. The egg rolls were burnt, the rice was brown, and the Bao was nothing but soggy dough. How this became a national chain I'll never understand. Never again. read more

Seriously disappointing, even for airport food. Soggy rice with a spoonful of tiny chicken scraps in a tasteless sauce. Even the soy sauce seemed watered down. Go somewhere else until they raise the quality of their ingredients. read more

Well, I had some good expectations from the Asian food, but that was really bad. The bawl is a just a rice with chicken. You can get anything better for $20 anywhere else. read more

Wow Bao - Bawl - Chinese Near Me - Dulles, Virginia

Absolutely disgusting.. it's borderline dog food, the buns stick to the paper bag, it's just nasty. Save your money and check somewhere else. Especially in an airport. read more

Fast. Lots of different kinds of baos but judging from the taste of the BBQ pork ones, probably not huge differences - dough a little flat, a little dense but not too dense, but end result not very interesting. Ginger chicken dumplings on the small side, definitely had ginger breath afterwards. And my stomach wasn't terribly happy either. Not sure why-- not sure I can blame it on them or the dumplings specifically, but thinking back I recall it as soon as I finished them. Just enough seating inside, although a bit cramped. Basically exactly what you'd expect for something in an airport. read more

OMG.... I wish I could have given minus zero star review. I should never have tried this place. Here are the things that I did not like this store. 1. Two workers were working very slowly, even though there was quite a long line of customers waiting 2. There was no kitchen where the chef was making fresh food. Bows were in the steamers, potstickers were cooked in an oven, and these were fine. BUT main dishes were terrible..... They seemed to be precooked somewhere else. I saw the workers putting frozen plastic bag in hot water baths to just warm up. 3. The worst part was that all the dishes were the same things. Orange chicken and Kanpao chicken were exactly the same. They just added slices of Almond on Kanpao chicken. Also, all the bows had exactly the same meat (not even sure if it was chicken or beef) even though we ordered different ones. Why even they bothered to have them listed as different menu???? Lying to customers in the face didn't make me feel good at all. 4. Finally, the main dish was so highly processed. We couldn't finish the food. They were horrible; there were no freshly cooked ingredients anywhere in our food. 5. I paid waaaaaaaay too much for these horrible food! Conclusion: I will most likely never go back to this joint. Macdonald could have been even better than this place. It is really sad to know that this business was doing well there. Customers have to keep moving with a time crunch at the airport. So, they don't even bother to make complains as we didn't. I have rarely given one star review, but this place well deserved it. I hope they will leave a fresh healthier shop will move in soon. read more

Mushy. Fried rice and potstickers were mushy and the kung pao didn't taste like any kung pao I've ever had before. For $20+ I would expect more, but I guess this is the airport..... read more

I wish I read the other reviews before eating here, because I could not agree more. I am not a picky eater, but this tasted like straight wet dog food. Portions are super tiny for the price, and again it all just tasted wet like they took it out of the freezer and microwaved yet. I will never eat here again and suggest others steer clear also. I now understand why pizza hut was so much busier. Layout of the place doesn't make any sense either. It's like they have a bar and tvs, but no seats at the bar, and the only seating is a small bar top ledge that faces a wall, with your back to the TVs. read more

Food was meh. Little to no flavor. Service was slow. The restaurant didn't have items advertised on their menu. Overall not a good experience. read more

So it's fast food tasting and bland. Seems the vegetarian option is very popular, beef was tastier than pork bao but food tasted very processed and junky and too sweet. Would not come back not worth the price super expensive. read more

Food was trash, not good at all, service was super quick, I should've wondered why the line was empty

Service was terrible. I asked for a cup to put some siracha in and she refused to look for a lid for it so I can take it to go. Tina T was rude when I asked for a lid. read more

The worst food with high price。Bad experience。Don't go to this place。The owner of this business defintelly just for one time traveler。

This food awful, just so disappointing. Fried rice isn't hard to make and this was gummy, cold and tasteless. Tried to get gyoza, only had veggie, at 11am. Those were awful. Tried to order a beer, no a manager has to be present.... service was "ok", ambiance zero. read more

I would give this a minus ten stars, just awful,I did not know it was possible to cut chicken and small as rice grain, I asked the guys is there chicken in my food he said the chicken is mixed in all over, I ordered the citrus chicken, the taste was terrible, then those little scrap of chicken made it worst, I hope the get shot down, it's just plain wrong, they cannot sell that and call it food read more

I ordered on uber eats (location: 1415 N Danville St, Arlington, Va 22201, Usa) The portion size for the kungpao was tiny. The way the baos were packed was somewhat bizzare.. I had ordered the 6 pack of baos, 4 chicken and 2 dessert: coconut custard. They put all of the baos together and sprinkled scallion on top of all of them. I washed the scallions off of the coconut custard baos before eating them.. the taste of the chicken teriyaki baos was somewhat weird, the chicken teriyaki ones didn't taste like teriyaki and the flavor was closer to the kung pao chicken on the rice bowl that I had also ordered, which is not to say that the kung pao tasted good either. The coconut custard baos tasted ok after being washed off of all the scallions.. neither the dough nor the filling were warm.. read more

Not worth the price when the food is not as good as it should be. They should terminate the chef. Too bad not much choices inside the airport. read more

My Friend got food from here before boarding his flight; it was subpar. I was going to order breakfast, but they had run out before 9AM. I told them since breakfast was out I would just order closer to my flight time (noon), and proceeded to take a seat. However they wouldn't let me sit if I didn't order now. Pretty rude attitude towards a potential second customer. There's plenty of space to sit in the terminal, if I was here for a seat, I'd be sitting at any other terminal or restaurant. I'm only sitting here because I wanted to eat here and patronize the business. Not anymore. read more

I wish I can give them Zero Star. If you are Asian, please stay away... their food is horrible. Small portions and horrible service. They treat their customers different too. They want white people like their food so bad that they will give them extra . But if you are Asian, they know they got u already so u get treated little different. Please take your money somewhere else. It's not worth your money. read more

They just opened yesterday but the food is awesome. We had the oatmeal and eggs, spicy sausage and rice bowl. It didn't look like much when it was served but turned out to be just perfect. I would eat here again. read more

In the mood for Bao--got the Mongolian beef and was good, sweeter than what I'm use to but this is fast food. The chicken teriyaki bowl was good as server recommended. Nothing much in B terminal so sojourned over to D terminal thru the shuttle at A. Worth the walk if you have time and want Asian over wings/burgers, which is always the case for me. Service was good too. read more

Soggy dumplings and a $3 fountain drink they wouldn't refill. Stay away. Crappy and rude service.

If you're in a hurry to catch a flight... avoid like the plague. The staff was unable to get the orders out quickly. Also, they couldn't figure out which orders belonged to the correct customers. Complete confusion and chaos. Furthermore, the food was awful. I ordered 4 baos and couldn't make it though half of one. They were tasteless and soggy... akin to eating a sweaty gym sock. read more

I got sick after eating the teriyaki chicken, and that's saying a lot because I have an iron stomach. The Hibiscus tea did not taste good. Would not recommend to a friend. read more
