    Pulled chicken banh mi
    Nida H.

    Delicious sandwiches with a good sized portion! The bread was crisp to perfection with a good chew. The chicken in both banh mi were flavorful. The spice level was on point with the spicy pepper in the sandwiches. The soft shell crab bao was phenomenal. So fresh and the sauce was delicious. Def recommend all three!!

    Soft shell crab bao

    Was around the corner and paid way too much for tiny food, so came here after and so glad we did. The soft shell crab Bao was one of the best soft shell crab experiences of my life! You have to try this. The batter they used was unlike any other fried soft shell crab I've had- it was thick and crunchy to juxtapose the soft, pillowy, perfectly steamed bao on the outside. The tang of the pickled veg along with the sweet and spice of the sauce, it's the type of flavor profile you crave going across the entire spectrum with all different textures to boot. Also had a stellar cold cut banh mi, great quality and perfect crunch on outside to soft bread inside. Needless to say, left stuffed and happy

    Delicious food! Chicken katsu and lemongrass pork bao. Quick and friendly service too!

    Place is spacious with lots of seating. The staff were friendly and patient as we browsed the menu. I ordered the chicken katsu bao, beef bulgogi bao, and bulgogi fries. Everything was tasty but a little too salty for my preference. I really liked the bulgogi fries and recommend. I plan to try the banh mi next time. Place is worth giving a try.

    I came in for a quick, small bite. The service was very friendly and quick. Plenty of seating inside and very clean. I ordered the pork belly bao and it was really good! The pork was yummy and buttery and it had perfect amount of sauces on it. I also got the thai green milk tea and was disappointed. I asked for light ice but it still tasted watered down. The flavor was kind of weird too. It didn't have that Thai tea flavor.

    Being in Katy, this place is priced decent and the food is great. We came here and ordered a couple bao buns, spam slider, & popcorn chicken. The bao buns were delish! I will say that it's a bit on the salty side but the veggies and bun are a good mix. The popcorn chicken was yummy - if it had basil, it would be 10/10!! We will definitely be coming back.

    We finally got to try this place and it was delicious! The standard foods were pretty basic but the bao was my favorite! It was extremely tasteful and full of flavor. It was very clean inside and we did not wait long for our food at all!

    We were attempting to visit Proper Rose Garden during their closing weekend, but after an hour and a half of waiting, we were hungry and needed something fast. Enter Bao Bao Banh Mi -- our savior. This was such a great find! The food was affordable and the portions were plentiful. They had a VAST array of options, from Banh Mis to Baos. I personally enjoyed a grilled shrimp and lemongrass beef bao. 10/10 would recommend. The environment is cute and cozy too!

    Found this place by putting bulgogi fries ! And they had the best picture in the area lol I was not disappointed Bap Bao Banh Mi was a cute little shop in Katy Asian Market area . The menu was easy to read which I loved because I ask a lot of questions and didn't have to because all the details was there My husband and I decided to share the bulgogi fries, chicken sliders , and a sandwich All were delicious ! Bulgogi fries- 8.9 delicious but I did wish the fries were a bit thicker and a little bit more sauce. The hit the mark with the meat there was plenty of meat Chicken slider - 9.4 they were very flavorful! No complaints honestly Sandwich- 9.4 delicious i thought it was missing a little something but my husband love it and actually ordered another one to go lol. All in all a great find and I'll be back !

    1st time customer, very disappointed in the quality of food received. Banh mi was rock hard and popcorn chicken was a box of fried batter. Where is the chicken?

    Braised Pork Belly Bao

    Food was great (but pricey)! Service was fast! Perfect spot for lunch or dinner due to its close proximity to Katy Asia Town for other desserts, close to Andrettis Karting and Claw City for fun and games! The ambiance is relaxed and the inside is quaint. Definitely recommend although it's a little expensive!

    Chicken katsu bao, Pork belly bao & Bulgogi bao

    Okay, wow. This little joint is adorable, super cozy and every item we tasted was delicious. The popcorn chicken is so crispy and surprisingly not that spicy. We tasted the chicken katsu, pork belly & Bulgogi bao.. yum! The chicken katsu and bulgogi were definitely my favorite. Amazing flavors and textures. Lemongrass pork vermicelli was tasty and my sister devoured her bahn mi.. a must try. So much variety on the menu, you can't go wrong!

    Service was great and food was good. We ordered the cold cut pork special, lemongrass pork, Hawaiian spam Bahn mi.
    May O.

    Service was good. Besides the sandwiches we got a soft shell crab bao, shrimp and pork spring rolls and fries. Probably won't order the fresh spring roll just because I prefer my own homemade sauce. But there was nothing wrong with the rolls.

I especially love their Signature Garlic Herb bread. It's toasted perfectly where the outside has a slight crisp around the edges and the inside is soft and fluffy. It's really GOOD bread.

The 1/2 lb of meat was somewhat satisfying, but you'll probably want a side (i.e, fries or tots) to make the meal feel more complete. Our friend ordered a shake and was unable to drink from it because the straw was designed too small for the consistency. Unfortunately, they didn't have any other straw, but not a big deal - just something to consider for the future. They don't offer free water. If you are thirsty, you have to buy a drink or stay thirsty. I'm not a fan of this concept because it's not going to force me to buy bottled water. I just rather not pay for bottled water, but that's preferential. I rather go next door to get milk tea afterwards. Not sure how I feel about tipping at a place where you order at the counter, clean your own table, and take out your own trash. Do people tip at Whataburger? The interior felt clean. They had a hand washing station up front too (though not sure if we were suppose to use it or if it was employee only). Come and give this place a try!

Everything was fresh, and the lemon pepper wings were fried hard just like I like them. The sweet tea was perfectly balanced and not overly sweet.

Ambiance: Parking can get tricky on busy days, and seating is limited since the space is set up like a true sports venue dedicated to the Philadelphia Eagles. Expect a lively, fan-focused vibe. Service: The staff jumped in to help as soon as I walked through the door. Since it was my first time, they walked me through the menu without rushing me. Everyone was genuinely friendly, and they even made sure I got signed up for their rewards program. Food: I'm a sucker for a good Philly cheesesteak, so I went with the Quaker Steak while my party ordered the Pizza Steak. Both were good, but a little extra seasoning on the meat would've taken mine from good to great. The tater tots were on point, though, and the lemonade was so good I had to grab a refill. Overall: I'd definitely come back and try something different next time. I couldn't give a full five stars -- mainly because the seasoning on the sandwich fell a bit short for me, and the "10-inch" looked closer to a 6-inch. Still, I genuinely wish this business nothing but success.

Let me start by saying I've been here multiple, multiple times & I've never had any food items that weren't good. I always get breakfast (even if it's lunch time) so I don't know much about the lunch items. Not only is the food outstanding with a creative twist, it's consistent. Over the years, the place has expanded several times so now there is a decent amount of dine-in seating in addition to the outdoor seating. The place still stays packed but with their wait list in advance/text notification system & efficiency in seating customers, if there is a wait things move along smoothly. Additionally, anyone who is waiting knows it's worth the wait!! The service staff are friendly. The atmosphere is homey & they decorate for the various holidays & seasons. Owner/chef Lori is always walking around asking guests if everything is ok. On at least 2 occasions she happened to chat with me/my guest about some dietary restrictions & she whipped something up for us to try. My go-to dish is the harvest breakfast where you can pick 4 breakfast items from a list. This is a great way to sample more menu items. Here's my take on some of my favorites: - Sourdough pancakes are thin & really delicious. - Belgium Leige waffle is very sweet with the pearl sugar "nuggets" in them so taste them before you add a lot of syrup. - Scrambled eggs are well seasoned, not bland. - Avocado & tomato or the fresh fruit are nice light touches as one of the side item choices. - Fried chicken tenders are really good. Spice level 3 (medium) is not that spicy. It's flavorful. - Grilled chicken tenders are good. As much as I typically eat grilled or baked chicken, I allow myself to choose fried for these. - Grits are creamy. I get them with no cheese. I'm not a big grits person but I do like these! The menu is very extensive. It includes vegan, vegetarian, keto & gluten free. Is the breakfast a little pricey, the answer is "it's all relative." Sometimes it's just worth paying for a great meal. In case you haven't gotten the message, Harvest Kitchen is a must try. Do yourself a favor & have a visit. I'm betting it will stay on your list as a repeat eating spot!! Tips: - Use the text message wait list & signup before you leave your house. - You can always get 1 pancake on the side for $5. - 15% gratuity is included at checkout, as you pay you'll get options for an additional % or custom % like 0%, 3, 5% or more.
