Mr. Bao — Restaurant in New York

Finally a Chinese restaurant worth talking about in this part of Brooklyn! Despite having "bao" in its name, the soup dumplings is what to get. We got the pork soup dumpling and it was very flavorful and a good size dumpling and soup inside. Then there's the pan fried pork dumpling that had a unique seasoning sprinkled over on top that added this extra flavor negating needing the dipping sauce. We went back a 2nd time to try the crab/pork soup dumplings along with their shrimp/pork dumplings and they were also fabulous!

The rice bowls are much larger than we had expected and is more than enough to fill you up. The pork belly was soft and juicy, while the meat was slightly over cooked, but still chock full of flavor. Since they had just open I assume the beef will be better as they work out the kinks.

Popcorn chicken had a twinge of spice to give that little extra tasty tickle on your tongue. It could have used a sauce, but not necessary. Of all things, the unique looking black bao actually was the least of the favorite options. Felt like there was too much breading compared to the goods inside. All in all, this place is great and I'll definitely be going back to try...

Was working overnight and my co-worker and I ordered from here for some late-night eats.

We ordered the following: MR. Bar Fried Rice with shrimp, steamed pork soup dumplings and create your own rice bowl. Her rice bowl had the following : jasmine rice, 48-hour braised Galbi beef, and garlic cucumber salad.

The total was $40.00 with the added fees.

Upon arrival, everything was sealed tight and there was no spillage. They included forks and knives, but no condiments.

The soup dumplings were fairly decent, but the flavors weren’t distinct.

Now, my fried rice took me off guard, it was better than I expected for a late-night meal. The only thing I would have changed is no egg.

My co-worker said she thoroughly enjoyed her rice bowl. Some direct quotes are, Cucumber salad was “particularly good” and the meat was “tender and flavorful. “

In all, I would recommend Mr. Bao’s for a late-night meal. I am curious about the rest of the menu!

Can't say anything about the atmosphere because I ordered through Grubhub. I can say that I've had a really hard time finding food that sounded enticing to eat because I have cancer and am in chemotherapy. My mouth tastes like a tin can, and I'm thrown off by cooking smells. So, when a friend gifted me a card and I found myself having a hankering for dumplings, baozi, and sesame bolls, I decided to order from the closest spot that offered all of the above. The food arrived pretty quickly. They did not disappoint. The curry beef baozi were fluffy and flavorful. The truffle pork soup dumplings were beautiful and bursting with broth. My sweetie got the beef and onion dumplings with soup. They were moist and tasty and very filling, and the soup was piping hot and comforting. The sesame balls crowned our meal with their toasty, crisp exterior, delightfully gooey mochi layer, and just-sweet-enough red-bean filling. I ate more than I expected and...
