    On Rudumplingme's rec
    Neil B.

    I stopped here on Friday after hearing about this restaurant on Instagram from @rudumplingme with whose culinary opinion I often concur. And as I was warned on Instagram, the bao's are so juicy and delicious, you might want to consider eating them with a raincoat on! :-). At 4 for $7 my sheng jian bao were a bit more expensive than at some of my other go to places, but their quality and size, make them worth the price. I am not yet eating inside restaurants so I took mine to go and ate two on 51st street then walked down 4th avenue and up 9th St to the Bagel Pub where I bought a coffee (actually two because buy one, get one free every day after 2:00PM - great deal and they put mine in a large cup to save paper) and ate another one at their outdoor tables with my coffee. Finally that night I finished the 4th one as Becky G did in her previous review, via my air fryer! Yum Bao is a small, not fancy, clean restaurant that serves up quality food ~ highly recommend.

    Delicious! Nice location, try the pan fried pork buns and the soy milk, weirdly addictive, will be coming back

SALT AND PEPPER WINGS (5/5) super juicy and crispy with that dumpling sauce they give you if you get dumplings such a good combo definitely would come back for these WINGS Dragon roll (3.5/5) pretty decent roll better than a lot of other sushi in this area of brooklyn IMO so if we talking just local def 4/5 minimum Boston roll (2.5/5) p avg not my thing szechuan beef (4/5) it's a banger tender juicy and the veggies are a little soft not even spicy at all and i can't even eat something with too much black pepper sesame chicken (4/5) very good the sauce is saucing and the breading isn't chewy or too wet it's nice and crisp pork dumplings (3.8/5) p thick on the breading but p nice super good with that dumpling sauce they give out very good service and spacious

    Very solid Chinese food spot. We picked up food to go and the restaurant looked very clean and…read morespacious though no one was eating in. The food was very fairly priced and the portions were huge. We got the pork soup dumplings, pork fried rice, szechuan chicken (which came with white rice), and pad see ew (which though not listed comes with pork, chicken, and shrimp). Everything was solid, but our favorite was the fried rice which had a ton of flavor. I liked the veggies that were in the chicken dish but there were just way too many of them compared to the chicken and I wasn't crazy about the sauce. The pad see ew wasn't made the traditional way I've had it with soy sauce and oyster sauce. It had some sort of orange sauce that tasted closer to a sweet and sour. It wasn't bad it was just not what I was hoping for. The soup dumplings were solid, no complaints there. And the fried rice was great, lots of flavor. Overall, I liked this place especially for the price but I'd probably order different things if I went back.

Get the "20 mini dumplings + drink of your choice". Seriously, I'm getting hungry just writing this review. Food: I ordered the 20 mini dumplings and drink combo, substituting the soda option for taro boba (+$4), totaling around $18 after tax! The dumplings are mini, but they are filled with so much flavor it's unbelievable. They each have a bit of soup in them that is so flavorful and not salty. There is also a slight bit of crispiness on the outside of each dumpling before the inside just melts in your mouth. It's unbelievably good. The taro boba is also well done. It's not too sweet, and the boba pearls are a unique level of like not that chewy and feel almost like popping boba?! Service: Friendly service! My friend and I did to-go, but the staff were all quite friendly. There is also a kiosk to order from if in a rush. Ambiance: It's a very clean restaurant and spacious. However, since there were so many people waiting for the viral item, we formed essentially a crowd outside the steps. The wait took about half an hour, and then my friend and I walked just down a couple of blocks to the Brooklyn Heights promenade, which has the most stunning view of the Manhattan skyline.

We were skeptical about this restaurant but it exceeded our expectations and we can't wait to return! We came on a weekend for dinner so it was busy! We were able to snag a table and seeing how busy this place was, we knew it was going to be good! We had the pork XLB, chicken feet, pork & vegetable wontons with spicy peanut sauce, noodles with scallion and peanut butter sauce, beef lo mein and the beef ribs. Everything was delicious! The highlights of our meal were the pork XLB and the beef ribs. The pork XLB were made fresh to order and they were flavorful and juicy! Definitely on my list of best XLB I have ever had. The beef ribs were also delicious! They torched it table side which definitely added a nice touch! Considering how busy they were, the service was immaculate. They were also very attentive to details since we had a kid with allergies. We will definitely be coming back soon. This place is also right next to the Court Street train station which makes it very convenient to get to!
