*US traveler review* note: locals use Google for reviews. Such a great choice to get the Asian fix after being in CDMX for 4 days. This was walking distance from our Roma Norte Airbnb. Super cute, quiet vibes place. Do not expect any Asian staff or anyone to speak Chinese here though LOL. Friendly Reminder: you should not expect the same quality as you would back home in US (for me, California), but it for sure meets the "Asian" fix in terms of: noodles, broth, the familiar taste. With that in mind, all ratings are "cushioned" bc you can't expect the authentic Asian food in CDMX. We ordered the following and shared as family style for our group of 3. - Beef noodle 4/5. Don't expect SGV quality but hits the spot, though broth could have more flavor. - Mala baos 5/5 (very spicy! And has the mala taste) - Kimchi dumplings 4.5/5. Dough a bit thick - pork belly fried rice 5/5 - Dan Dan noodle 4/5. More peanut sauce than usual and noodles were a little overcooked/mushy still enjoyed the savory taste. Service was decent. We asked for water multiple times and had to send some of the plates and cutlery back bc they weren't clean. This place probably caters more to the locals so I can't get mad. So glad we found this place and was open late! (Til 10:30 pm). I would def recommend to anyone of my fellow American travelers who need Asian food. This place will help rejuvenate you after a fun trip in CDMX!

The food was delicious!!! The service was amazing Drinks were so amazing as well Totally recommend this restaurant.

After multiple meals of Mexican food, we craved Asian food and decided to check this place out. The food was meh. The bao has pork belly, pickled mustard, and some sauce. It would be a lot better if the pork belly has less fat. The beef noodle is okay. The popcorn chicken is decent. I think they should add more coating seasoning for more flavors. Kombucha is pretty good. The restaurant has A LOT of mosquitoes for some reason

It's genuinely incredibly shocking that there's a Taiwanese food place in CDMX so we had to try it out. It was also the part of the vacation where we needed some Asian food in our lives. We ordered it from Uber Eats so it may not be the best representation of the food but anyways. - Sopa De Res Taiwanesa - Seeing the Spanish translation is so interesting to me as really they take into account what locals will understand what the food means to them. I thought this beef noodle soup was okay, the broth was underwhelming and quite watered down. The noodles also felt a bit like ramen noodles. The beef was not super tender. - Arroz Con Pork Belly - I definitely recommend this dish instead as the pork was very juicy and flavorful and the meat drippings paired very well with the rice. Overall, it's not the best Taiwanese food you'll ever get but I guess it will satisfy your Asian cravings when in CDMX. read more
We came here because we were craving some asian food while traveling in CDMX. This is a great spot - big space and can handle large groups. There is an outdoor space too. You will get the menu from a QR code and can ask for the wifi. What we got was good! The dumplings and baos had a unique take. Really enjoyed the popcorn chicken. They said the seasoning would be spicy but it was not spicy at all. Definitely would come back to try other dishes, especially the main dishes One stand out is the service. I thought the staff was super attentive! They made sure we had everything we needed for an enjoyable experience read more

I have honestly had one of the best experiences here. I first came in beginning of 2021, and they made an exception for us to dine in and it was stellar. We got the tofu rice, chicken rice, chicken bao, the colored buns, cucumbers, the mochi, we almost ordered one of everything it was that good. We also got a pot of tea, and the vibe was super cute and comfy and the staff was super nice. I have come back again and again and have had equally epic experiences. Authentic flavor and taste. read more

This place is really cute and the service was good but the food was just okay. There appeared to have been leftover food or mold on their steamer (that the kimchi dumplings were served), so that kinda made this place go down for me. The duck plate was smaller than expected and was slightly over cooked. We ordered quite a lot of dishes and nothing was really great or stood out. Again, the place and service were good, but the food just wasn't it. read more
After eating Mexican food for 5 days, we decided we really needed some Taiwanese food. Needless to say, we were super excited to try Bao Bao. We ordered the cucumbers, braised pork rice, and beef noodle soup. The BNS was a bit disappointing but that was also to be expected. The broth as not as flavorful so would skip this for next time. But the other two dishes were as authentic as could be. Would definitely come back if I was ever back in CDMX to try the baos. I would also skip the Calpis they had as it wasn't the ones we typically have in Asia. Business was poppin and appreciated that they were open late (until 10pm) as our flight didn't get in til 8pm. read more

There was plastic in my potstickers. Nasty. Also the Dan Dan noodles had way to much peanut butter and the napo tofu was definitely chewy not crispy. read more

Wonderful baos. Wonderful noodles. After ordering a staggering amount of food for two people, a wonderful price. Can't go wrong at Bao Bao read more

If you love bao and Asian food in general, this is a great place to check out! I tried the classic bao and the chili crab and both were really good. The flavors were very clean and they do a good job of incorporating Mexican ingredients and flavors. Service was fantastic as well. Gracias! read more
