Mao's Bao

I'm on my search for the best Bao. I was visiting the Chelsea market and stopped in Mao's Bao. I ordered 6 pork baos pan fried. The meat filling wasn't as juicy as I expected. The dough was good and it was a nice size. The sauce he gave me was literally a teaspoon. You can even see how little he gave me in the picture. So to share it I decided to just wait and go home to make my sauce. Great on the go! What are your favorite places for bao?? I'd love to go and try them!! Enjoy!!

This was a great little place! Lamb and impossible buns were great. Pork belly buns were outstanding!

Very very dry! Do not recommend, you will be disappointed.

Their food is delicious I first tried them at a food festival, their prices there are 15$ for 6 which is more expensive then their price in store (12$ for 6). So keep that in mind. I highly recommend their lamb bao.

Food is good but it's kinda pricey. It's also pretty filling because of how dense it is but I like it that way.

They are ok for American standards and people who have never tried shengjianbao before. This was obviously machine made baos and they are not that juice nor are the baos crispy.

They have a great variety of meats and fillings. The chicken and the vegan ones to me are the best!!

I love this place, one the best dumplings you will enjoy eating. Also different varieties makes the experience even better.

Be pork fried dumplings were absolutely fire

Hardly any seasonings on the boiled veggie or pan fried beef dumpling, and they were ten dollars! The wrapping was kinda rubbery and the inside was more like a meatball than a normal dumpling. I would pay 5 dollars at most for the pack
