    I was so excited to finally try this after seeing it on some influencer instagrams! It's SO good. Tiny place inside. Order at the counter. But my wontons in chili oil were amazing. I want to go back and try every dumpling on the menu.

    We went with their dumpling items and we enjoyed the dishes. Our favorite was the pan fried pork bun, but the wonton in chili oil was good as well. You order at the front counter, grab a table number, find a table and they will deliver the food to you. Water is self serve, dining area isn't too fancy, just your standard Asian restaurant dining layout.

    So much to love about this place! The food is super fresh and tasty. The veggie rice noodles are tasty and the pork buns are delicious. The staff is super friendly and love that you can see food being prepared. Quick service too. It's a small place but love seeing all the goodies on the tables and the tv with footage of dishes being prepared. Great overall experience. Check them out!

    It's opened finally

    88 BaoBao Dumpling & Ramen was my most anticipated restaurant. I have been waiting for this restaurant to open forever. My patience has paid off, and I am thrilled Tulsa finally has a Chinese restaurant specializing in noodles and dumplings. The menu is simple. Try a dumpling and a noodle soup. Trust me, this is the place for these two items. For the dumplings, I would recommend XiaoLongBao aka "soup dumplings." These are steamed dumplings made with a thin dough wrapper, a seasoned broth, and juicy meat filling." The pork soup dumplings at 88 BaoBao were delicious. For the noodle soup, you have to try the beef ramen. Tonkotsu ramen, black garlic ramen, and chicken ramen were available on the menu but it was hard for me to get any of these soups thanks to Jinya Ramen Bar. I would consider the wonton ramen, but the go-to noodle soup for the first visit is the BEEF RAMEN. This was the best beef ramen in Tulsa. The beef slices were soft and tender. The noodles were perfect. I could have probably handled extra spicy. The only complaint was the broth which could have been more flavorful. This restaurant is going to be trendy. It's really unique, and I am surprised that Tulsa hasn't had one. 88 BaoBao is the first, and I hoping for more Chinese soups and dumplings restaurants in the future. I came back and tried the cucumber salad which was okay. Basically, chopped cucumber in a sweet garlic sauce for $6.95. Hmm...not sure about it. Also got the wonton ramen extra spicy. Spicy and extra spicy tasted the same to me. The wonton wrappers looked thick but they tasted great. The beef ramen was definitely the better ramen.

    Pork xiao long bao

    Came here after a long day at a convention nearby, we were hungry and looking for some authentic Chinese food and we found it here! For starters, we got the cucumber salad and BOY it is refreshing, crunchy, well seasoned and crushed like how it's supposed to be. We got the sautéed green beans (requested no msg) in garlic... so good, came out right away. We ordered F2 stir fry vege rice noodles (requested no msg) and that came out next. The rice noodles were perfectly cooked and lightly seasoned (just the way we like it!) Of course we ordered pork xiao long bao and this was the highlight of the meal. You need to wait as they need 15 min to steam. They came out last, piping hot soup inside and just delicious. I added a few drops of soy and vinegar to my spoon before loading up the dumpling into my spoon. Perfection. We definitely need to come back at least one more time to have the beef noodle soup.

    As per the Doctor's recommendation, I ordered the Beef Ramen. It was very good, The beef; lean, tender, and pleasantly seasoned. A little more spiciness wouldn't have bothered me at all. My wife went with the Shanghai Style Chicken Chow Mein. It didn't have much flavor and was too oily for her liking. We kept a copy of the menu at the table to study the meal options. She had noticed Orange Chicken had been added to the menu in handwriting. She wished that she had ordered that. Order at the counter and pay at the counter. Grab your soda from the cooler before you sit down. Your food is delivered to your table. I like the open kitchen. You can view the cooks as they prepare the food. Any strange animals are probably executed out away from the public view. It appeared to be a well ran operation. A previous reviewer noted that on his visit, the restaurant had a malodorous fragrance. They must have addressed the problem. It was clean and odor free today. Eventually we will be back to try the restaurant's namesake specialty, the little steamed bags and buns, of meat and vegetables. The Beef Ramen...very good!

    Finally got to try this place & yum! The staff was so friendly & helpful with the menu. We tried quite a few different dishes including steamed garlic green beans, fried shrimp, black garlic ramen bowl, wontons in chili oil, bbq pork buns, red beans buns & custard buns. I am STUFFED lol. I didn't try everything we ordered but I ate plenty & left full.

    F5. Wonton in Chili Oil (10)
    Anji N.

    I love dumplings and I am 99.9% sure this is the best place in town for dumplings, boa, and wontons in chili oil. I had the wontons in chili oil today and they are freshly made in the kitchen, steamed and doused in chili oil. The cilantro and green onion on top are a nice complement as well. The sauce is slightly spicy or if you are a chili head, not so spicy There is also a bit of sweetness to the pork filled wonton and they are overall delicious! I have ordered the Pork XiaoLongBao soup dumplings several times in the past and they are the #1 seller for a reason. Handmade and full of broth so be careful with you take a nibble from the side to slup the soup, they are served piping hot. They include a side of chili crisp oil, a sweeter dumpling sauce and a more savory dipping sauce. The location is on the Northeast corner of 71st and Memorial which can be kind of tricky to get to during heavy traffic times so just plan your approach accordingly. I am always on the go and usually order online for pickup and they have always had my order ready in 15minutes or less. They do have seating inside if you want to dine in.

    Atmosphere and Service 88 Bao Bao is the epitome of a hole-in-the-wall--unpolished, functional, and oddly comforting. Boxes of drinks sit stacked in a corner, the air carries the scent of oil and steam, and the space, while not overtly clean, doesn't feel uncared for. Bamboo pendant lights and red chairs nod to familiar tropes, offering a touch of nostalgic warmth. Service is average, but the vibe is unmistakable: this isn't commercial polish--it's ugly delicious, in its most literal, lovable form. Pork Xiao Long Bao Piping hot and nestled in a bamboo steamer, each dumpling arrives like a sealed promise. One bite releases a burst of rich, porky broth that floods the palate--heavy, savory, and deeply satisfying. The wrapper strikes a perfect balance: not too thick, not too thin, with just enough bite to hold the delicate fold. Inside, the soft pork filling is tender and well-seasoned. It's the kind of bite that leaves you immediately wanting another. Shrimp & Pork Shao Mai This little purse of pork and shrimp opens with deep, savory notes of pork before gently giving way to the sweet, delicate essence of shrimp. The texture walks a perfect line between soft and firm--plush without being mushy, structured without being dense. Each bite carries a beautiful richness that lingers and coats the mouth, delivering both comfort and complexity. It's a quiet triumph of balance, both in flavor and form. Pork Potsticker A standout among Tulsa's potstickers, this is the juiciest, most mouth-filling dumpling in town. Diner beware: it will squirt--bursting with hot, savory broth that demands full attention. Miss a drop and you'll regret it. The pork filling leans into a classic potsticker flavor profile, but what sets it apart is the texture--plush, perfectly seared, and deeply satisfying. The devil is in the details, and here, the devil tastes oh so good. BBQ Pork Bun The bun features a sweet soy-glazed pork filling, reminiscent of the classic red-tinged BBQ pork from takeout spots--sticky, sweet, and familiar. But the bun is overwhelming. It's large, crumbly, and quickly falls apart, leaving more fluff than flavor. There's maybe one good bite of filling before you're left with a mouthful of bland bread. The ratio skews heavily toward the bun, burying what little BBQ goodness there is. Popcorn Chicken These little chunks of heaven boast a crispy exterior and soft, tender interior. Like the beef, they lean one-dimensional--but they're executed well. Addictive in their simplicity, they're the kind of thing you can't stop at one or two--you'll want the whole plate. They shine best as a vessel for sweet Thai chili sauce: safe, satisfying, and undeniably well done. Wonton in Hot Chili Oil Simply incredible--these sweet, umami-packed pockets deliver on both flavor and texture. The wonton wrapper is silky yet toothsome, concealing a savory pork filling that satisfies with every bite. The hot chili oil brings just the right amount of heat, while the pool of oil at the bottom of the bowl offers a rich, salty-sweet depth. Pro tip: drizzle that leftover oil over the popcorn chicken--it transforms a safe dish into something crave-worthy. Fried Shrimp The batter is incredible--light, crisp, and unmistakably East Coast in flavor, with that distinct savory-sweet profile you rarely find outside New York or Boston. While it looks like the typical tempura you'd see at a sushi joint, the taste is something else entirely. It hits a nostalgic, almost personal note. Can you taste the shrimp? Not really. But it doesn't matter. The fry is the star--and it's doing all the heavy lifting. Black and Gold Molten Lava Buns A simply beautiful bun--dark and glossy like hot river stones with a streak of gold. Each bite releases a molten core of sugary, eggy, grainy goodness. Whether the grainy texture is intentional or a byproduct of undissolved sugar is unclear, but it doesn't detract from the experience.

    F1.Shanghai Style Chicken Chow Mein Large shareable portions and it is out of this world delicious.

    The food is great! I want to come back and try the buns!!! We had a very nice time. Service is fast and the prices are great! We had to take left overs home.

    Beef ramen
    Cathey M.

    We had a great meal @ 88 Bao Bao last night! Very friendly and accommodating staff and service was quick. You order at the counter and they deliver to your table. 3 of us ordered ramen with those being beef ramen, pork ramen and wonton ramen. All were delicious and full of meat and veggies. You can get any ramen at any degree of hot or non at all. An order of pork steamed buns and pork/crab dumplings were also very delicious. It's a small restaurant but seating can be had if you arrive at a good time. I will definitely be back to try other things.

    Everything we order was great! The fried soup dumpling was my fav. We got tonkatsu ramen and it was very flavorful.

    We've been to multiple Chinese cuisine establishments here in the Tulsa/Broken Arrow in the 2-1/2…read moreyears that we've lived here and most of the time we've been highly disappointed and sometimes disgusted with the edibility of their offerings. Coming from California, where there are an abundance of quality Chinese cuisine establishments, we were about to give up. We found this place and decided to give it a shot. First, the ambiance is delightful, very clean and ample seating. There is an outside dining area, which would be marvelous to try if it wasn't so bloody hot outside. Anyway, the menu is pretty extensive. We ordered Kung Pao chicken, steamed buns with pork belly, beef fried rice, house special lo mein, dumplings, and egg rolls. The dumplings were on the small side, but some of the most flavorful ones we have had. The egg rolls were not a disappointment either. The chicken was good, but not very Kung Pao, more Kung Mild. The beef fried rice was thoroughly cooked and tasty. The house special lo mein noodles were excellent. My favorite was the steamed buns with pork belly. They was plenty of delicious pork belly and the steamed buns made it even better. They do charge entree prices for sides, which is a little absurd and should be addressed. They serve Pepsi products. We will definitely be back as this is top tier Chinese food for Oklahoma.

    I tried the new location and new menu. It was good. The service was okay but could have been…read morefriendlier. It was clean and had a beautiful patio. The cucumber salad was not good. The food was overpriced. There are so many great Asian food places in Tulsa and I would not get dumplings here again. My friend wanted the flat beef noodle spicy but it just seemed like they put a bunch of chilies in it instead of adding flavor. It was not her favorite and mine was good because it had no heat. But it is better at a lot of other places around Tulsa.

    *** Review is during COVID-19 ***…read more Was craving some Chinese food recently and Yelp led me to China 8... and I'm glad it did! I knew I wanted something that felt like a classic night of Chinese takeout but a little more of a local spot and not TOO cookie cutter either. It turns out this was the right place for that - it felt like the best of both worlds! Staff person at front counter was wearing a face shield and they had moved the tables completely out of the way so I think they are not doing dine-in right now. We ordered two soups to share - the egg drop and the hot and sour. I've never really liked hot and sour soup but I gave it a try anyway. I still didn't love it but others said it was good haha. The egg drop soup was good, but I do feel like it was a little lacking in flavor. I know egg drop soup is pretty simple on purpose but I still felt like it could have used one more spice or ingredient. I liked that it came with wonton strips, which were good. The soup we ordered was fine, but it luckily didn't match the rest of the food, which on the other hand seemed much better than just "fine". For my main meal I had the kung pao chicken. To me, it wasn't spicy, but thee sauce was so good that I didn't really mind - which is kind of rare since I almost always want spicy food! The sauce was super sweet and full of flavor. I hadn't tasted something like it when I've had that dish before, and I thought that was really cool. They gave a good amount of chicken too! I substituted the rice for lomein because I was really in the mood for noodles. It was a great choice - they were super yummy as well! I'm not sure they are or not, but the noodles almost seemed homemade, like you could taste the flouriness of them... in a good way. Everyone agreed the lomein was really good. Maybe the best I've had! The portion size was really good, especially for the price - win win!! They have a small and large size for pretty much everything and we got the large for entrees and the soup as well. One other thing I specifically noticed in general was that everything tasted like a distinct dish instead of everything kind of tasting the same, like I feel is sometimes the case at similar places. Don't let the unassuming outside fool you! It may seem like your average Chinese spot but I really felt like it was so much less generic, while also not straying far from what you expect at all either. Definitely want to go back!
