The hibachi is well done, and the Dragon Roll is great. The prices are reasonable, but there isn't much space inside.

Stopped in for a quick lunch. I got the 2 rolls for 8 bucks and my wife got shrimp and broccoli. Also got an order of veg tempura. Inexpensive and decent food. Not much atmosphere, but good for a quick lunch. read more

They prepared my order very quickly. This was for my great granddaughter and she gobbled it up.

The Mei fun was white on white on white - not one iota of seasoning or flavor, just a mushy mass of noodles and unbrowned chicken. I hate leaving bad reviews, the service was prompt and polite (I ordered take out) so that increases the rating. Just bad luck on my part to order this dish I wouldn't choose this one from the menu. read more

Bao Bao - Chicken Mei Fun - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vestal, New York

After a 24 hr Journey, came here on a cold day craving a hot soup. Had the Bao bao Udon soup with chicken and shrimp. It warmed the cockles of my heart and had a wonderful flavour. Only bad thing was the steaming soup in a plastic container and I was leery of microplastics. Otherwise definitely worth another visit. Small place on the main drag opposite IHOP.

Best consistently tasty and well-prepared Chinese food in Binghamton ( actually it's in Vestal). Delicious! You will want to get takeout, it's not a place you want to sit inside at the small tables. Also it is a tiny building, perched in a small lot on the north side of Vestal parkway with limited parking space. Be careful, it is easy to drive past it in the dark - the sign was also in disrepair so it was hard to see. read more

Food was very good.. my only caviat is the rice to meat ratio. Way more meat than rice.. if the owner is reading this. You should do 2 small cups instead of 1. read more

the general tsos and lo mein was gas but the spring roll is not good. the deliver also took very long

I went to New York for a family trip. The family wanted to eat some sushi so we stopped here. The food was absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS!! It was really yummy and you need to try it. The service was really good aswell, the staff were all nice and they helped me out. The atmosphere was alright, it wasn't the best but it was definitely doable. It was a really good $78 spent! The portions were really big and they were totally worth it. I don't recommend delivery though because the food was a bit soggy when it got to my location. There was also a really nice little kid there! read more

This place is a HIDDEN GEM. Best sushi and appetizers, and the prices are reasonable for the rather large portions! This is a family owned restaurant and feels like such. Everyone goes above and beyond to accommodate you. I strongly recommend their hibachi or the crab sticks. And you can't go wrong with the rolls either. Small storefront and only a couple of tables inside, but that's one of the things I like most about it. read more

If you love sushi and are around the vestal area. This is hands down THE best place in vestal to get sushi. Food is absolutely delicious, If you like rolls with Shrimp you have to try the shrimp Tempura, they also have a really delicious Shrimp Udon Soup, that you can also order with chicken, steak, etc. Pretty much a regular here after ordering their delicious fresh sushi. read more

I'm really not sure how anyone can give this any positive comments other then the portions are hefty with protein. But that's it. Low flavor and mushy. Take a look at some of these photos and see for yourself. Yes we're still in Covid times so perhaps they're trying to be profitable, I sympathize but offer a decent product, PLEASE! I'm not expecting Chinatown "banquet food", The miso soup was as thin as water and had almost nothing in it. Like four tiny cubes of tofu and three (5 square mm) of wakame (seaweed). It was so thin and almost tasted like dishwater. The fried rice was basically steamed rice with a tad of brown dye in it and a few bits of egg. The kitchen staff were all unmasked and un-gloved too. Just avoid. This place. read more

The food was great, I ordered a bunch of stuff and the price wasn't too bad. I was hungry when I ordered online and was not disappointed when I got it all home and dug. Really hot the spot! read more

Def not a welcoming dine in atmosphere. Ordered general tsos chicken with fried rice, steamed gyoza, sweet potato roll, and California roll. The general tsos was a good portion but tasted like orange chicken. The fried rice tasted like el Dante brown rice with very little egg. The sushi was ok. For service you order at the counter and they bring it out to you. The women's bathroom had mold in it and no soap. read more

Ordered using the app for pickup. Very easy!! Good food, great price, fast service! Thanks!!

Excellent sushi. You can tell the fish is cold and fresh by its proximity to the owner at the register; she exudes an off-putting chilliness that suggests you should take your business elsewhere. I bite my lip and stay because her partner, who delivers your order to your table, is so warm and customer-oriented. It's too bad for him that the tip is solicited at the time of placing the order, and tipping her cold indifference is impossible to do (yes, I try to remember others are doing the real work to make my meal). Great location, tables for dine-in are better than most. read more

Ok, I'm updating my review because we gave Bao Bao a second chance. This time, only sushi, no other food. Spicy Crunch Roll Rainbow Roll Winter Roll(fried) Mexican Roll They were all delicious. We also got some side sauces, which complemented perfectly-yummy sauce, teriyaki, and spicy mayo. read more

Cute family run spot! As an Asian student I miss having good Asian cooking on campus, and this hit the spot. I got the chicken yaki udon and it was super tasty. It came pretty fast and you can see how they cook the food which I thought was nice. I'm looking forward to coming back again, especially to try the sushi! read more

Was craving some hibachi and Ordered this for delivery one night. Wasn't expecting much because I've driven by the restaurant before and the outside is a bit run down looking but the food was really good. Had steak hibachi and a sushi roll, lots of food for a reasonable price. Don't judge a book by its cover! read more

Great sushi in binghamton area. Ordered delivery and it was quick, no spills from sou sauce. Lunch special with a drink, extremely worth! The shrimp tempura wasn't soggy, the spicy salmon had a little kick and crunch, and the california is pretty standard! read more

First time coming here with friends after starving for hours. We walked in to all the staff hustling but even with all of that, they took our orders promptly. I noticed that they had a separate menu but it was all in Chinese. That menu had stuff like beef noodle soup that wasn't on the English menu, so I guess you could ask them what else they sell. The food came fast. My order looked so appealing and smelled so good that I devoured it. It was the most decked out beef noodle soup I've seen in bing. I also got hot chili oil which made it a lot better. They also have tea and hot water you can get on your own. Overall I would definitely come back and maybe order some to go. read more

Bao Bao - Beef noodle soup with an EGG??? WOW - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vestal, New York

This place has really, really good sushi! They also have some popular Chinese/stirfry items on the menu - some are great, some are a bit bland in flavor so it wouldn't hurt to order additional sauce. Anyway, back to the sushi. Not only is their sushi fresh, but very affordable. There are lunch specials for their sushi which i recommend, to try some new ones. Also pieces are sold a la carte. Highly recommended. read more

Y'all. Sometimes I'll be staring at the app like "WHERE IS MY FOOOOOOD" like the hangry ogre I am, and these sneaky expletives have already dropped it off and vanished. WIZARDS, I tell you. Also I have a strong preference for Bao Bao's general Tso's. A lot of places seem to make it like sesame chicken, without the seeds, and that's not what I asked for. I asked for sweet and SPICY chicken. I want General Tso's. I don't know who Tso was but I bet he wanted it spicy. Bao Bao at least puts some heat in their gen. Tso's, and the meat isn't like jerky or like weird fat nodules. It's good. Eat some. Not mine, tho, I will hurt you. read more

Stopped by on a long drive to Rochester from Manhattan. The food was really good, especially for the price. We got general tsos chicken, 3 rolls (shrimp tempura, California, and Philly), and salmon sashimi. Their general tsos chicken was nice and spicy, but otherwise pretty standard. Their shrimp tempura was very crispy and light, and all their ingredients were very fresh. Their salmon sashimi was suuuper soft and had a great taste. If you want some food, but don't want to stop at a big chain come here. You will not regret it. read more

Came here because of the reviews. I was planning on getting the lunch special but switched to the dinner becyase it came with the miso soup. Everything was very good and it came with more food than I could eat. I was surprised how fast it came. I had quite a few shrimp in my meal and the veggies were cooked perfectly. The place itself was pretty tiny. You ordered at the window and the food is brought out to you. The staff was fine but not overly friendly. I would cone again for the price and the quality of the food! read more

We are staying at a hotel next to this and decided to give it a chance. It's unassuming look didn't impact the delicious steak hibachi lunch special. The steak was delicious and perfectly cooked. We also got 3 sushi rolls and all 3 were great! Definitely would eat here again! read more

Sushi was very good. Dont let the name and lackluster decor fool you! Also don't let the fact that it is a chinese owner joint making japanese food disguise the good sushi! Price wise, acceptable, not cheap, but not over the top. Execution was great, before 3pm lunch special. read more

The basic sushi rolls were okay, just a little dry. The special roll was okay as well. Ordering was easy through the app.

There I was in Binghamton, trapped in a room at the University for an entire day. The food options seemed to be: 1) Find something edible at the Dunkin Donuts / Sodexo 2) Order delivery on a Saturday to wherever the heck I was Realizing that option number one was a complete lost cause, I opened up the trusty Yelp app and checked out the delivery choices. There was this place, a halal joint, and Italian. If it were just me, I probably would have chosen differently, but the kids wanted Chinese. Specifically, they both wanted sesame chicken with fried rice. Now I know most of the reviews for this spot reflect the Japanese side of the menu. But the place has a Chinese name. So I took my guide from the Yelp app and it told me that the beef with broccoli was a popular dish. So I went for that. Did I mention that I had never used the Yelp app for delivery before? I'm also not typically someone who orders delivery. So my experiences with the form are fairly limited. That said, the delivery experience was fine. The food was fine. It arrived reasonably hot, despite a couple of really minor logistical hiccups. That really had to do with the fact that I didn't know where I was, and the driver didn't know where I was. But it all worked out. There's still just only so much love that I can give takeout Chinese food. Maybe the avocado salad or udon soup travel better. Certainly I've had worse. But I've also had much much better. All told, despite having a pleasant experience with the staff, and a surprisingly positive experience with the Yelp delivery functions of the app, I still would probably pursue other options if I were in a similar situation again. read more

I'm a year plus late for reviewing this restaurant, my apologies in advance. We first visited this restaurant in January of 2019 during one of the worst snow storms we've ever encountered. Long drive from NYC bringing our daughter starting her freshman year at Binghamton University. 10:00 at night, every restaurant in the area was closed. Except Bao Bao. This restaurant saved our lives. The staff so friendly and caring, and the food was super delicious. We all had the Hibachi Bao Bao with fried rice. While we took the food to go, it was still nice and hot when we reached our hotel room. Servings were plentiful and we enjoyed every bite of our meal. We're back in Binghamton dropping off our daughter to BU and visiting Bao Bao is a goal for us. Thank you so much for being open during that horrible snow storm and serving us some fantastic food. read more

Absolutely fantastic, I order so much they know me by name. I usually get the hibachi chicken, gyoza, shrimp tempura, and spring rolls. read more

Just did takeout and the food was average. Nothing bad but nothing worth coming back for. And we had a large enough order where we tried a few different items. Chinese food was a total miss and I understand that they are Chinese so figure that out. Sushi & rolls were ok for the price. No complaints. What annoyed me was the lack of service. The sushi guy standing at the window refused to acknowledge us and you could see the food bag just sitting there on the other side of the glass. And he didn't even call for another worker. Then their delivery dude walks in and we ask him for help. He says he only does delivery and then he goes out back. 5 min later a girl eating something walks up and gives the order without so much as a word. And then walks away. Like seriously, if you are open for takeout, do it properly! So as you can imagine, I'm not going back. But the food was average and they were open during covid-19 so I will give them 3 stars. read more

Best sushi in the 607. My favorites are their speciality rolls, more specifically the yummy and hero roll. Would recommend to anyone!

I've been there a couple of times now in the past few weeks and I've enjoyed everything I've gotten. I am NOT a sushi expert and rarely ever get it but I've had so far the Eel Roll, California Roll, Rock'n Roll and Crunchy Shrimp Roll. I loved every single one. I've also had the General Tso and Seafood Hibachi and both were excellent. One of my favorite things is they actually use egg on their pork fried rice which no one seems to do anymore. Thank goodness! I highly recommend them and every dish has been great! I'll be back many more times and I'm looking forward to more Hibachi and Sushi to try. read more

We came here for a quick bite and it turned into a whole siesta! First order came and it's was so good so we kept ordering and eating until we couldn't breath any longer. We ordered Godzilla roll, Sakura roll, Winter roll, Double spicy, Sunset roll and Black dragon. Also we ordered Shrimp Yakisoba and it was amazing, noodles were so fresh and shrimps were cooked to perfection. But my favorite was Sunset roll, it had eel and cucumber inside and salmon on the top. Something special was about the sauce that they used for it and it taste really good. Prices are reasonable and they are Very friendly and attentive. Will come back for sure. read more

This is a little family restaurant that makes really bomb ass Japanese AND Chinese food. The woman at the front who's the boss was really really nice and attentive. Her recomendation for food flavoring was definitely on point. Also, there was no lunch special when I went in, however the lady gave me the exception to order the three roll special. The rest we ordered were dinner entrees. So, after shopping for 4 hours, I have starving! So I ordered three entrees.... boy was I wrong! Literally, one entree was enough to fill up two people. And seeing as we couldn't finish the other two entrees, the grandma helped us pack our food Togo. She was so sweet. Had a wonderful experience, and they definitely know how to treat their customers right! read more

Did an online order through "yelp" and evidently there was some confusion... I got everything except the sushi I ordered, it was replaced with General Tso chicken. My appetizers, my soup and my salad were perfect... But the fried rice I couldn't eat because of the eggs (I'm allergic to them) and the chicken was not the three separate sushi I ordered. The chicken I handled because it was good I think I was overcharged for the chicken because I ordered three sushi's and that was certainly more than the cost of the chicken. By the time I realized the order was wrong, I was too far away to return and get exactly what I ordered. Moral of the story; double check your carry out order read more

Great sushi !! Great representation. It tastes very fresh and the customer service was great. They made my food very fast. They're open late too! read more
