Bao Nine — Restaurant in Philadelphia

The Kid had been pestering me for a year to visit Bao Nine, and during a recent visit to Philadelphia I had to opportunity to discover why! The place was spotless, with very calming (I know, strange, but true) color scheme throughout the property. The window into the kitchen was a nice touch.

The counter staff were courteous and efficient, taking our orders and delivering when ready.

We (The Kid, The Missus (bless 'er) and I) each ordered a combo of three bao comprising of a 'Bao Boa, Sticky Chicky, Bang Bang and the Prime Time. This made sharing a breeze.

The buns were ridiculously fresh and delish! Watching the staff make the dough while we ate didn't hurt our perception of freshness either. Each item was very tasty, and each of us had a favorite: Mine, the Bang Bang; The Kid, The Sticky Chicky; The Missus (bless 'er), the Bao Boa.

We added a side of taro chips, which were a nice crispy counter to the soft textures of the bao. We also ordered a cucumber salad dressing with a slightly spicy mayo-like dressing, and was outstanding. The cukes were crispy, fresh and cooling on the palate (despite the liveliness of the dressing).

All in all, I can guarantee that it won't be a year before we visit Bao Nine again. Definite recommendation for a lunch stop near...
