LA Food Review: Bao Master – Worth the Hype? 🥢✨

Lately, everyone’s talking about Bao Master—especially their crab roe scallion oil noodles. As a fan of Michelin-inspired Chinese spots, I had to try it myself. 📍 Bao Master 108 S Monterey St, Ste 102, Alhambra, CA 91801 🌟 Top Pick: Crab Roe Scallion Oil Noodles – Absolutely delicious! The scallion oil is fragrant, the crab roe is rich, and every strand of noodle is coated in savory goodness. If you don’t eat crab, go for the plain scallion oil version—still a winner. 👍 Solid Choice: Wagyu Sheng Jian Bao – Finally, a pan-fried bun with a soft, slightly crispy bottom (not rock-hard)! The wagyu filling is juicy and flavorful. ⚠️ Skip These: King Crab & Pork Soup Dumpling – Thick skin, mediocre broth. Braised Beef Noodles & Crispy Fried Pork Chop – Forgettable. Scallion Pancake – Bland and unremarkable. We were too full to try the phoenix-tail potstickers, crab roe xiao long bao, or roujiamo—maybe next time. 💰 Price: 6 dishes + 2 discounted milk teas came to $120+ before tax. Not the most budget-friendly, but okay for an occasional treat. Verdict: Go for the crab roe noodles and wagyu buns—skip the rest. It’s a nice spot to satisfy a specific craving, but not an everyday staple. #BaoMaster #LosAngeles #CrabRoeNoodles #ChineseFood #Alhambra #MichelinInspired #FoodReview #NoodleLovers #EatLA #TryItOnce #HonestEats #LADining #NewSpot #TasteTest
