I have ordered from here about 5 times already and it's always been consistent. I would say better than your average Chinese takeout. Same type of dishes, but the quality of meat and veggies are better. Service has always been fast and efficient. They have a decent seating area if you want to eat in as well. Bao offers a wide variety of drinks as well like smoothies and boba. Going back to the food, anything that is breaded and fried tastes nice and crunchy. They don't over do it with the breading. For example the sweet and sour chicken and orange chicken which are common dishes that people order. I'd say they are great and tasty. Pricing is maybe a dollar or so above others at times but worth it for better quality. I have only tasted about 10 things so far and all have been great. I'd say the least appetizing would be the plain white rice that comes with some dishes. It always seen pretty dull and not fluffy but then again that is pretty much any Chinese place. It's always gets hard and when you reheat the next day it's not worth it. I use my own Jasmin rice instead. But other than that everything gets a thumbs up from me. read more

Despite the distance from home, this has become my go to for carry out Chinese food. The wonton soup is hit or miss but the crab Rangoon's are tasty, pork fried rice is excellent and the general tso's is very good. The staff are friendly and there are many coupons available. read more

the issue I have with Bao is that they offer specials like free egg rools with $30 order and ... . the problem is you have to have code for on line orders which I have NEVER seen provided nor instructions on how to get, or you have to have a physical coupon which they do not have nor offer. So that is rip off and sleezy business practice. On the good news their food is soild high quality. read more

The wanton soup is very yummy because they add the the meat dumplings and a lot of pork and the fried rice is very good with eggs and pork

The Tempura Shrimp were delicious! Tried the Salt & Pepper Shrimp and they were also delicious! We have NEVER been disappointed with anything we ordered from BAO. Great food, friendly staff & great cooks! read more

They were so kind to me when I last picked up! Our family had a large order at the end of their shift, so large they had to place part of my order in a box. I believe the owners were nice enough to carry it to my car, and when I tried to tip them (it was a large tip too) they wouldn't take it, just wanted me & my family to enjoy the food and the rest of the night. I will continue ordering from them! I enjoyed the Mapo Tofu, I love their egg drop soup (with a splash of soy sauce) and their vegetable & rice soup for something light & refreshing. Not too many Chinese take-out restaurants offer brown rice & fresh fruit smoothies but they did which is wonderful. Thank you for reading. read more

I can't recommend a restaurant with overpriced average-quality food and obnoxious owners. Why even offer delivery if you literally can't deliver? There are plenty of better options. read more

The fried rice was bland and flavorless! The pot stickers were gross, the crab rangoons were good , and the eggrolls just mediocre! $56.00 for regret read more

Bao Gourmet Restaurant - Fried rice after we tried to eat it! - Chinese Near Me - Bartlett, Illinois

Amazing the coconut tea was so flavorful so fresh I was excited after tasting it. This will be definitely my new place for boba tea. I can't wait to try the other flavors the coconut really did have the best flavor I've ever had in a coconut tea. It wasn't too sweet it was perfect for the amount of sugar it had in it it really did the job I'm so grateful I found this place now I just have to try the food next time. *X10 read more

The family deals are really great. Everything is pretty typical chinese restaurant food, not bad. Easy to order online.

When we first walked in we noticed how clean the restaurant was and they have both tables and booths. They are also kid friendly and have booster seats and high chairs. They have a coke fountain drink machine and you can get soda water here too which I love and prefer to drink. The menus are all digital and there are lots of great food options. You can choose from fried rice or steamed rice with your entree, we also got an egg roll with our meal... there are several options to choose from... and you get a bowl of soup... also several soup options... you can see them all listed on the menu board pictures. My husband ordered the Mongolian beef with fried rice, an egg roll, and wonton soup. I ordered the Sesame Chicken with steamed rice, an egg roll, and Hot & Sour soup Everything we had was delicious and well seasoned! The meat was chewy in a good way due to the coating. The meat itself melted in our mouth very easy. We will be back again to try something else! I definitely recommend giving this place a try! read more

Crab rangoon excellent. Egg rolls sucked. Shrimp fried rice need to use tiny shrimp not huge ones! No one likes to cut their shrimp fried rice and also egg foo young use smaller shrimp and make patties bigger. Use more egg! No flavor! Gravy is good. Spent a huge amount of money for mediocre food. Shouldve got wing ho elgin so much better! read more

They never have an issue removing something from an item and adding something else. Always so good! I do wish they still had the Pad Thai on the menu because I haven't found another like it. read more

there was a ant in my drink it was so gross in there so dirty and unsanitary there was a alive rat on the ground

Bought 8 different plates and asked for oil chilli sauce and got 2 half empty small containers for 8 PLATES. Asked for additional oil when I got there and only got one more small container. That's ridiculous for as much money they charge they should at least give one container per plate ordered. Very disappointing. read more

If you place a phone order, add an hour to the time they tell you it'll be ready in. I placed a phone order at 5:08pm. They told me 15 minutes, it was one item. I arrived at 6:10pm, fully aware my food would be cold and I was fine with that. I was in a rush, needing to be somewhere at 6:30. I arrive, and they tell me 10 more minutes. I told them to forget it and just cancel my order. An hour and 10 minutes for a medium order of chicken vegetable? Very disappointing and now I don't get dinner tonight. Looked like a clean place with good fresh food, sad that I couldn't try it. read more

We moved to Bartlett, IL 2 months ago and have gotten food from at least six Chinese restaurants, but Bao Gourmet is the best. I ordered Kung Pao Tofu and, lo and behold, the vegetables were crispy, the tofu was soft (not rubbery), and the sauce was balanced. I had brown rice with it, and it had actual flavor, not just color. My husband had pork fried rice and liked it very much. We will definitely be returning in future. read more

The string beans with pork is the best! Quick service and always very tasty I always stop when I'm in the area. read more

I would give this place 3.5 I was able to dine in. The place is a bit narrow but it's actually pretty roomy and nice inside. They have booths and tables available. I don't know why but I always look up at every restaurant's ceilings lol Their ceiling has this cool wooden thingie that has lights hanging down from it. I thought it looked unique. They require you to wear a mask and you place your order in the front and they bring it out to you in containers, disposable plates and utensils. All in the bag. Which is nice because everything is set up to pack and go. Less contact going back and forth :-) Their smoothies are very affordable. Makes you want to grab 2 lol I ordered sweet and sour pork and general tso chicken. Both came out hot with a side of steamed rice. The sweet and sour pork was alright. Not too different from other places. I enjoyed the general tso chicken more though. That had a lot of flavor in the sauce and the meat was tender and juicy. Also order their pork buns but I wasn't too impressed. Luckily, they didn't cost too much. Tasted more sweet to me like a dessert and I could hardly taste the pork. The pork was a little too pureed for me. Service was awesome, wish I caught her name. I definitely trust her handling my food lol The portion may not be a lot but the price reflects that. I enjoyed dining in here because it was clean and they enforced the mask and social distancing. I would come back again to try their other meals and smoothies of course. read more

I visited here once as it was located in the Bartlett area, but was disappointed. There are a lot of options but the vegetables and tofu is not really that well cooked and the flavors were not good. We ordered 4 dishes and did not really enjoy most of them. I would avoid this place if you are looking for good Chinese food. read more

We ordered Bao last nite for our son and his daughters birthday, everything was wonderful, pot stickers were huge, beef in gravy was tender and very flavorful, bbq lo mein was delicious along with the biggest shrimp i have ever had from a restaurant in the chefs special honey walnut shrimp. Enjoyed by all. Thank you! Made for a very good birthday along with our cakes. All was great!!! Susan read more

We frequent Bao on a very regular basis. Being from Chicago, where good Chinese takeout is abundant, we are used to some good and more traditional dishes. Bao has typical fare; would t mind more variety. read more

We order carry out. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Food is always well made and ready for pickup cashew chicken has plenty of cashews, loaded with veggies, and the sauce is delicious. General Tsos chicken is crispy and flavorful. I wish restaurants here would do the crab Rangoon's in tempura batter but, alas, haven't found one yet. That being said, the crab Rangoon is good, as is the pot stickers. Always a nice bag of sauces and cookies too. Great value for the money and leftovers for lunch! read more

Excellent spring rolls! Also my go to is the chicken fried rice from here. Always tasty, fresh, not too greasy. Awesome for takeout. Quick service. read more

On our village's Facebook page, residents have often asked for recommendations for local Chinese restaurants and often I saw Bao Gourmet Restaurant being mentioned. We tried it today for the first time and 100% satisfied. We placed our order on-line and the website was very user friendly. Ordered beef egg foo young. It was ready for pick up at the time we selected. The staff was very pleasant and friendly when we came inside to pick it up. The restaurant was very clean with nice decor. The meal was delicious and great portion size. My favorite Chinese food item is egg foo young and I've tried it at many other local restaurants and none of them tasted as good as Bao's. Great experience - we'll be back again soon as this is now my new favorite place for great Chinese food! read more

Website allows you to order ahead before the restaurant opens. However- this doesn't mean it will be ready on time. Had to wait almost half an hour later to pick it up. Was told staff doesn't get there until the store opens which means they prep when the store has opened NOT BEFORE. All orders are therefore pushed back 20-30 minutes later. Disappointed that their website is misleading Once you get your food though, it is good. Well seasoned and good portions. Salt and pepper shrimps were large and crispy. Chow fun was also very good. read more

My husband and I gave this place a try, mainly because we just landed at O'Hare and were craving Chinese food. Bao is VERY quick, has online ordering (the menu has pictures and descriptions too), good prices, and the food is yummy! I'd recommend checking it out! read more

It's not a fancy place. Most of their business is carry out. Excellent food for the price. The lady who served us was nice and gave us excellent service. They do have a few tables. read more

Came to Bao to try it out for my first time. I ordered a couple things. You have to order your food at the register and let them know you are going to dine in. The place looks nice inside. Once you order have a seat whoever you like and they will bring the food out to you. They give you plastic silverware and paper plates and the food comes in small containers. I feel it pricey for the food and once I saw how small the portions are it over priced for so little food. The egg rolls I don't recommend the taste is really hard a lot of cabbage. The Mongolian chicken, sesame beef were alright the shrimp fried rice was good but they use large shrimp and give you about six of them. read more

we love BAO but had to order from silverlake because there web site is the most disfuctional thig I have ever encountered read more

Poor service. They have screwed up my order twice in the last four months. I am not interested in returning ever again.

An order of large fried rice was filling for the both of us. It was so delicious! The whole place was clean and service was nice and friendly. Can't wait for more fried rice :) read more

Went to eat today with my husband 2 entrees 33 bucks very small. We served on Chinet plates the sauce for sweet and sour chicken and white rice came in paper bowls you buy at Jewel. Really read more

Quaint,super clean,,awesome food,presentation very nice,cutlery and take-out part love it!!! Will go back...

Did an online order for $85. It took an hour and 30 minutes to get the order. Everything was cold and my BBQ pork fired rice was missing. Called and they were apologetic and said we will send it right away. 40 minutes later, no pork fried rice. Called them and said it was there, so I still want it?? I said no I want a refund. She said I could only get a credit on my account. Oh hell no, won't order from Bao again. read more

Buns and all.. great food, great service, quick delivery. The buns feel like clouds I would imagine

Bao's Siu Mai dumplings get 5 stars however their egg foo young was ruined because whomever made this hasn't a clue how to make good gravy. When making homemade gravy starting out with the roux it is important when you add the flour to your meat juices, drippings, oil, butter or a tiny amount of stock to cook the flour before adding the remaining water or broth. If you don't your gravy will turn out tasting like raw flour and water. Seriously the gravy ruined the egg foo young because it tasted like watery flour. the flour for the Roux must be cooked before adding additional liquid. It only take about 3-4 extra minutes. Also I notice Bao along with most other Chinese restaurants now are very stingy with the meat and the vegetables are mushy not crisp. Bao is not cheap. Disappointed. I did request no sodium however I can make a dynamite gravy without salt so there is no excuse for a restaurant that can't make a good gravy with all the spices out there (Dynasty Chinese 5 spice / pepper / Soy Sauce / Hosin Sauce). The gravy ruined the egg foo young. The chef needs to seriously take a class in how to make a simple good tasting gravy. The gravy / sauce make or breaks a dish. The gravy determines how good the dish is. read more

Did carry out Friday night. Ordered beef chop suet..egg rolls and Thai fried rice. Egg Rolls amazing. Beef chop suey had no beef. Thai fried rice very spicey and again just veggies. Just ok for carry out. Been going since they opened and quality of food has gone down.seems they are cutting corners. read more

Over 2 hours to get food delivered.. Food was cold and tasteless.. Don't waste your time or money on this wannabe restaurant.
