New Rowland Heights Gem: BAO Z – Unexpectedly Delicious! 🥢✨

While running errands in Rowland Heights, I stumbled upon BAO Z (under the sign “Beijing Yuan”)—a newly opened spot with bright, clean interiors and a surprisingly polished vibe. They use iPad ordering, and the menu is packed with tempting choices. ❤️ Wagyu Beef Buns – Not your typical xiaolongbao; these mini buns are adorable and packed with flavor. Dip in vinegar and chili sauce for the full experience. ❤️ Seafood Rice Porridge – A must-try! Loaded with shrimp, squid, and salted egg yolk—every spoonful is hearty and comforting, like homemade. ❤️ Braised Beef Noodle Soup – Only $13 but filled with tender beef, daikon, greens, and pickles. Incredible value. ❤️ Lemon Shredded Chicken – Refreshing and savory, though the chicken came in chunks rather than shredded, and wasn’t thigh meat. 🍮 Bonus: We received a complimentary Earl Grey pudding—light, fragrant, and not too sweet. The server shared they had just opened two days ago! With great service, a comfortable setting, and honest prices, BAO Z feels like a real find. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area! #BAOZ #RowlandHeights #NewRestaurant #ChineseFood #ComfortBowls #LAEats #HiddenGem #WagyuBuns #NoodleSoup #FoodieFind #SoftOpening #EatLocal #AffordableEats #MustTryLA
