    Entrance

    Really enjoyed the si mai and the shrimp crystal dumpling. They were made to order and very fresh. Everything else, pork dumplings, shrimp and pork, and the chocolate xlb were okay. Really enjoyed the Si mai though. Those were the two best dishes out of the 6 that was ordered for the dim sum.

    Amazing dim sum restaurant in Beverly Hills. Love the dim sum and they were authentic. The juicy roulette is a mush order dish. Really juicy inside and with different ingredients. The skin of the roasted duck was crispy and we loved its the garlic baby back ribs was also really goods. The service was excellent and we loved it. The decoration also so nice too. They got a promotion for if u spend 50 bucks, you will get free milk bun.

    Awesome dim sum house in West Hollywood ! I love the salt egg yolk bao. They also offer classic and authentic Chinese dishes. The restaurant is well decorated with ornaments. It's a little dark inside which can be perfect for a date night. Portion is very generous with reasonable price point. Fast and professional service

    This place was delicious. The pork & shrimp shumai were large! The beef chow fun was perfect! Came here on the weekend just in time for happy hour. Dark, dim, moody, red and black decor. Wasn't crowded . Servers were attentive but hey! We didn't get our fortune cookies at the end of our meal like other tables ...not nice! We tipped well too! Did they run out? Boo! I'll let it slide this time because I was too stuffed to eat some lol

    Tasty

    Tasty. Wait staff a little slow. Wish he would have explained more about menu but overall good

    Pork & Shrimp Shumai
    Violette S.

    Cozy, dimly lit space with a private room, bar seats, and traditional dining room. We ordered hot and sour soup, mini pan fried beef soup dumplings (would probably opt for the traditional pork xiao long bao next time), pork buns, pork and shrimp shumai, green beans, chicken chow Mein, and Mongolian beef. Everything was excellent! Great bite to the green beans, excellent seasoning on the noodles and beef without being excessively salty. Pork buns definitely were the winners! Waiter was extremely kind! He forgot to bring out our drink orders, but he was incredibly apologetic at the end of the meal and it didn't dampen our experience at all!

    Great shop for authentic dumplings! This spot was on my list for some time & im so happy I came recently The service was kind & attentive. Our server was knowledgeable about their menu & different dishes! We ordered family style & I loved they had a "lazy Susan" in the middle to share everything we ordered! We came with a party of four with reservations. We were sat quickly. The areas were clean and the food incredible!

    Juicy Roulette

    Trip up to LA and decided to try this place. It's alright. Nice looking interior, dimly lit, well decorated, friendly staff. We came around 4:50 pm on a Sunday and it was not busy. Street parking. We lucked out and caught a parking spot right next door, but I could tell that parking could be a challenge if busy. We started with the garlic edamame and walnut shrimp. Both were good, though the edamame was a but syrupy. We then went with some dim sum. Juicy Roulette - good, soup type dumplings. Juicy Pork Dumplings - very good. Crystal Shrimp Dumplings - ok Steamed BBQ Pork Buns - good. Sesame Balls - good. Service was friendly, but a little slow and sparse. We had to ask for our check and then had to walk it up to the front to close out as no one came by to pick it up. Seemed to be a trend throughout the meal. Too few check ins, too many flag downs for service. We do not live anywhere close to this joint, so not a 35 mile special trip kinda place for us, but if you're in the neighborhood...

    We come here for lunch all the time and we love it and we always get the same stuff (see pics) Food is tasty, affordable lunch options and big portions. Staff is attentive and friendly. Parking can usually be found on the street (metered) if you look for a few min. Highly recommended!

    Steamed BBQ Pork Buns Spare Ribs w/ Black Bean Sauce Juicy Korean BBQ Beef Dumplings Crispy Scallion Pancakes
    James L.

    Came here for brunch on a Sunday, and for a restaurant that is this far out of Chinatown or SGV, it was pretty decent dim sum. Unique items were the Korean BBQ soup dumplings here, a different twist on the XLB. We had the Spare ribs, BBQ Pork Bao, Scallion pancake, and some Shu mai. Its a convenient location if you live Mid City to get some dim sum

    Spicy Garlic Chicken
    Angel H.

    The food was good, the dim sum had a sweet savory sauce that i loved! I would say the bok choy had a more simple flavor but still good. The customer service was good too. It's a cute casual spot to grab some lunch or dinner! They have lunch specials during the week which is great.

    Steamed BBQ Pork Buns
    Sofia Q.

    Went on a Thursday night and it wasn't busy. Pork buns were pretty good and sweet. Spicy wontons were my favorite but the pan fried beef ones were not that great. The "spicy " ones weren't spicy at all so don't be scared to get those. The interior was really pretty and the bar area looked really nice.

    Had a wonderful lunch with my family here today - wasn't able to try the weekday lunch specials menu which also looks great - it's only available weekdays 12-3pm FYi for future reference! The juicy pork dumplings (soup) are a great start to have and we enjoyed the shrimp wonton soup and the salt and pepper shrimp appetizer. The shumai were also very juicy and a nice size! We had a nice table with the window in the front which was nice and bright and gave ambiance. The wait staff was attentive and checked on us frequently to ensure we had all we needed at all times. Everything was made to order but out within 5-10 minutes hot and fresh. Come check them out!

    Ask the Community - Bao Dim Sum House

    Do you accommodate to people with celiac disease?

    Is the dim sum served all day/night?

    Yes, you order what you want they don't cart the food around traditional style unfortunately.

    Do you have valet parking? If yes, what is the charge? Thank you.

    No valet. Only street parking.

    Hi I see that you listed having vegan options. Which food items can be made vegan?

    They have veggie dumplings, Stirfry veggies, they have a 'chinese' menu with 2-3 vegan options, and they have Chow Fun with Veggies that's vegan.

    How is the parking situation?

    There is metered street parking and on weekends they have valet

    Hi i'm pregnant and curious if you make sure the pork in your steamed pork buns is well cooked?

    Yes it is cooked well. I like my meats cooked well too.

    They don't have shrimp rice noodle roll?

    I doubt it , as this is a strictly Chinese restaurant. No Thai or Vietnamese items on the menu ..

    Are they open?

    yes we are open from 11-8 for take out only at the moment.

    I see rice flour is used - What all on the menu is considered gluten free?

    What kind of seating is available for a group of 10 - 12?

    They have large round tables and also a room towards the back that can accommodate large groups.

    What is the dress code?

    Casual

    I heard they use MSG?!? Is this true?!? I hope not

    Yes

    Gluten free options?

    Boa buns are not glutton free but some dumplings are

    Is the full menu and all dim sum options available all day or is lunch time more limited?

    The full menu is available all day. I don't get there for lunch often, but the last time I was there at lunch, some items were specially priced.

    What is happening with reservations? I never used to have problems but lately it seems ever Friday & Saturday is completely booked from 6:30 to 8:30. And this is for a month in advance! Is that possible?

    They are remodeling

    What time is happy hour?

    Monday - Friday 4PM -7PM

    Do they have push carts or is it table service?

    Table service only.

    Is food made to order? Can they make things without garlic and onions as I'm allergic?

    The dim sum is, of course, made ahead and steamed to order. I assume that if you order some stir fry items, you could request that onions and garlic be excluded, but be aware that both are used freely in both Chinese cuisine and sauces and the… 

    This will be my first time coming here and I have a party of four. If we're big eaters, how much should I expect to spend?

    Between $80-$150, it's family style and depends on what you order as they differ in pricing.

    Do they serve dim sum all day long? Or do they have particular hours? Thanks!

    All day!

Har gow wrapper was too thick/chewy and stuck together. Custard bun was dry. Shrimp rice noodle roll was just ok. The food was mediocre. Do yourself a favor and just make the drive to the SGV. Service was worse than could be expected. We were a table for 2 at 9:30AM on a Saturday. We didn't expect to be sat immediately, but we definitely did not expect for three walk-ins *after* us to be sat before we were. Parties of 3, 5, and 8 were all sat before us. I understand as a host, you must maximize space and seat according to size but seriously? They simply didn't want to waste a *whole table* on 2. After 25 minutes they sat us at a 6-person table in the back corner and she said, "You share this table," implying we would be a group table if another small party walked in. Then, no menu, no water, no napkins, no plates until we asked for each individually. Lo and behold, there were still at least 5 open tables an hour later, and we did not in fact need to have other parties join us... the food was definitely not worth this treatment.

    *** $10.00 minimum for credit card purchases ***…read more Long's Family Pastry is a ... no pun intended ... long-standing and takeout-only Cantonese bakery located in Chinatown that has been around for at least a few decades. This shop is best known for having one of the most affordable dim sum selections across the entire Los Angeles. [Parking]: Metered parking only with some paid parking lot options available. Our party came here on Sunday at 8 AM and had no issue finding available metered parking spots. Metered parking is free on Sundays. [Atmosphere]: Nothing to write home about. The expectation is to come here knowing exactly what to order so that you can leave in less than 10 minutes. [Menu]: All baked items have both Chinese and English labels. Yelp's top recommended options include Steamed BBQ Pork Buns, Baked BBQ Buns, Baked Pineapple Buns, Special Chicken Buns, Pork Shumai, and Shrimp Dumplings (Har Gow). The shop also sells porridge, cookies, mooncakes, Chinese tamales, etc. *** Steamed BBQ Pork Bun ($1.40): The bun was hot and tasted good. Baked BBQ Bun ($1.80): This semi-sweet bun had a larger portion than the Steamed BBQ Pork Bun and this is definitely the one to order. Custard or Egg Tart ($1.60): Very flaky and it tasted better than I expected. *** Long story short - this bakery sells some of the cheapest dim sum you will find in Los Angeles. Are they some of the best dim sum items you will find? Not exactly, but they are fairly decent and $10 can stretch very far at this bakery.
