BAOS HOG

Bad food quality all meat are old meat crispy pork is tough and hard like a rock. Bad experience.

If you're a bao enthusiast like me, BAOS HOG in Garden Grove is your next must-visit destination. This place takes the bao experience to a whole new level. From succulent duck to flavorful ribeye, their range of baos is impressive. The standout for me was the Cali Cow Wrappurito - a creative fusion of bao and burrito. It was a perfect mix of savory and sweet, tantalizing my taste buds. Although I missed out on the CinnaBao fries, they're definitely on my list for the next visit. BAOS HOG isn't just about baos; it's about exploring a variety of quick, casual, and delicious meals. Whether you're craving an assortment of baos, a hearty rice plate, or their unique wrappuritos, this place has it all.

Easy, breezy, delectable bao buns! Favorites were the duck bao and cow bao. Duck was juicy, the rib-eye was tender and loved the marinade. Bolsa bao was also good, crispy pork skin was on point! Also enjoyed the lychee lemonade and Vietnamese ice coffee, both were delicious.

I can't believe how long it took me to finally try this spot. If you don't know about this spot, they specialize in a variety of baos and rice plates. They've been in business for awhile and because of its location (tucked in a corner of the plaza), I tend to forget about it until after I've left the plaza. I was really craving for some chinese bbq one day and then I suddenly remembered about this spot. After trying them out, I can see why they're still in business despite so many new food establishments popping up. Portions are generous and the pricing is very reasonable. I'll definitely be back for more! || L O C A T I O N / P A R K I N G || -Cross Streets are Brookhurst St. and Westminster Ave. -Located in the same plaza as Boiling Point, Banh Mi Che Cali, Sunmerry Bakery, Sunright Tea Studio and more. They're tucked in the corner of the plaza closely facing Brookhurst St. -Parking is a hit or miss depending on the time you come. They're located in a super popular plaza that houses a Vietnamese supermarket as well as many other popular tea/food establishments. || F O O D || Duck Bao ($5.50) - This has got to my favorite bao of all time. I'm not kidding you when I said their baos are super loaded. They gave me a thick piece of duck in my bao and honestly, I could just eat one of these and be done with my meal. The duck was flavorful and very tender Bolsa Bao ($5.50) - My second favorite bao! It's crispy pork and again, you get a thick slice of it too! I liked the pickled onions on top which helps to counter the oiliness from the crispy pork skin. So much flavor in this one Charsiu Bao ($5.00) - A close second favorite but I've always loved my crispy pork over charsiu so it did not surprise me that this was my 3rd favorite. Again, they load up the bao with thick pieces of charsiu. It seems like the charsiu is healthier too because there weren't any fatty pieces which I appreciated. Hainan Chicken Rice with dark meat ($12.50) - You have the selection of white meat or dark meat for this dish and I opted for the dark meat which cost me an additional $1.00 which I didn't mind. This was recommended to me by the worker as one of their most popular rice dishes. I do love a good hainan chicken rice so I decided to try one for myself. It was pretty good although I have to say it's on the sweeter side which I personally didn't mind. It might be from the sauce itself? Nonetheless, it was still good, and they provided a generous portion of chicken.

My go to place for a Friday night dinner to go! Very affordable and delicious. They have pretty much all the Hongkonese BBQ style meats served with ham bow or rice. They now do banh mi too. The place is small. I don't recommend eating inside.

Baos Hog in Garden Grove was recommended to me by a friend. I don't really even like baos necessarily, but honestly, this place has elevated their boa game to make me a believer! I tried 2 different styles of baos, the Hot Chick Bao and the Char Siu Bao, both were unbelievably delicious, and the buns are so light and fresh! The me u sounds so interesting, I am going back on the weekend to try other items.

First time here so we ordered several dishes to try. Roasted Pork Belly With Rice, Bolsa Bao, Duck Bao, Cow Bao, Cha Siu Bao, Vietnamese Iced Coffee and Fresh Watermelon Juice. OMG!!! So delicious!!! We ended up ordering to-go as well because it was that good!!

The presentation of the food was topnotch, but unfortunately both proteins (duck and pork) were completely dry and cold.
