Bao Bar - Reviews

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! Samantha is the best, and her food is delicious. The drinks were also amazing. My favorite dish was the Shrimp Salad. I will definitely be coming back.

My experience at the restaurant was mixed. The bao buns were great, but the chicken rice bowls were not as stellar. I received two undercooked chicken skewers.

I visited this restaurant on Monday, September 15th, just five minutes before closing. I only intended to purchase a bottle of water. However, the older lady working there was on the phone and when I asked if I could buy a water, she simply shooed me away without even answering my question. This was incredibly rude and not how anyone should be treated. I immediately went to the popcorn shop next door and received excellent service. I urge the staff to please fix their customer service!

My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing regarding the food. I ordered a rice plate with chicken skewers and chicken gyoza. To my surprise, as soon as I finished paying, the staff took the food directly from the fridge, placed it in a bowl, and then put it in the microwave. This process was not good at all; the food did not seem fresh. It came out steaming but was instantly cold. The chicken was dry from the microwave and had lost all its original flavor. I was shocked to see them microwave the food right in front of customers. On a positive note, the customer service was good, and the Thai tea was also good. However, the food was horrible, and I had to throw it away.

My experience at this Bao Bar in Liberty Market Place, San Diego, was exceptional. They make the best bao bun we have ever eaten. We were attending a 3-day conference nearby and ended up getting buns every day. The buns are incredibly fresh. We chose the pork filling, which also included a little cabbage, as seen in the photo. The service was excellent! The staff were friendly, open to suggestions, and generously filled the buns to overflow. One bun is truly a meal! I highly recommend going to this location. Parking is easy, and Bao Buns is located to your left as you enter the door.

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic, primarily due to the pork bao bun. The ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and the bun itself was wonderfully light and fluffy. The food quality was a definite highlight.

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! We ordered the chicken satay and BBQ bao bun. The owner is awesome and even threw in an extra bao bun for free! The flavor was great, and the bun was really full and soft with a lot of toppings. The prices were great, too.

My experience at this restaurant was disappointing, primarily due to the subpar bao. The texture was bad and it lacked flavor. I guess there's a reason it is cheap. I do not recommend this dish.

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I tried the tofu bao buns, which were absolutely amazing, and the veggie bun was also delicious. The staff were very friendly. Overall, I highly recommend this place.

This is certainly my favorite restaurant in San Diego! The food is fresh, healthy, and bursting with flavor. My daughter loves the chicken rice bowl and purple taro milk tea. My personal favorite is the lychee ice tea, which is the perfect thirst quencher on a hot summer day! The staff is truly wonderful; they are always so friendly, courteous, and go out of their way to make you feel welcomed. They are definitely the type of people you call family.
