Been here a few times for some baos and rice dishes. The location is a no frills, fast casual. The baos are pretty good. Some of favorites are the fish bao, fried chicken, and duck. The food is quite affordable and fast service. read more

Love this place. I come here twice a week but it's worth it. I'm in love with th duck bao. read more

Baos Hog - Chinese Near Me - Garden Grove, California

This place is hella good. Order 1 of all the baos. All of em fire. If you cant choose one get em all. #fatboystatus.

Bao's is usually my go to for pork belly! Before I use to go to Lien Hoa's (right next door) here you can get portion sizes & don't really have to order an entire or half (family size style) and it always satisfies my craving! I normally get the Roast Pork Belly w/ rice here. Its a lot & worth it and you can also add extra pork belly for a small fee. I've only had the bao's every now & than. The duck, bolsa, and hot chicks are my favorite bao's. Its very small place & parking can sometimes be a hassle. A really good go to lunch spot! read more

Service: Quick and friendly Food: Bolsa Bun - this is my favorite bun so far. The pork skin is super crispy and it taste great. I recommend getting this one if you don't know what to get #trust Chasiu Bun - if you're into sweet flavored meat, then you'll prob love this one Garlic and lemon wings - okay, so these wings are wayyy better than Buffalo wild wings and WingStop. There's this outer layer of sweet crispiness that makes it so unique. Popcorn chicken - very crispy but not the flavor that I look for when eating popcorn chicken. I prefer my popcorn chicken to have five spice on it, Taiwanese style Portion & Price: I don't normally eat too much so 2 buns is enough to fill me up. Less than $4 for a bun, definitely worth it for me! Parking: This plaza is busy throughout the day so it's hard to find parking, regardless of how big the parking lot is. I find it harder to find parking during lunch time because people usually go groceries shopping at the supermarket around that time. read more

BOLSA BAO is the BEST!! My friend just showed me this place for lunch. BOLSA was so yummy!! I also ordered DUCK but eh.. eh... I should've ordered 2 BOLSA!! lol Outdoor Seating is really nice. read more

I tried the bolsa and it was good. Liked the steamed bun. Reminded me of a fat taco. But yes, Baos is kind of an asian version of a taco. The fillings were good and also had a good amount of meat to it. Service was quick and facility was clean. I am a fan of spicy foods and the baos have a level of sweetness to it. So, my overall experience was just OK. read more

Overall pretty amazing but not quite 5 stars. A few minor fixes and they would be 5+ ez. Crispy pork belly was super yummy. Roasted pork belly was chewy and not very good. Possibly better if fresh? The "cow" one wasn't anything to write home about. Good but not great. Baos fries were good but not enough sauce... after you eat the top layer it is just plain fries. Fries were cooked really well though. all in all I'd return at least once more but barely 4 stars for me... if they upped their game I'd come every weekend! Pastry for buns was really well done! read more

Yum. I bought a duck bao, a hot chick and a bolsa bao. My favorite was the bolsa bao it was flavorful and the skin was nice and crispy. The sauce and veggies in it complemented it well. The hot chick wasn't bad either. The duck bao was just alright. I was kinda disappointed with it, I expected more flavor. It did have a nice large piece of duck but basically it's just duck and hoisin sauce. read more

Gone here many times and the baos are always great!!!!! Every single one of them (except the Cow which is not as flavorful, so you should add ingredients), YUMMMMMM!!!!! read more

Savory protein sandwiched in between a mini soft, doughy, taco shell aka steamed buns. Try their bolsa (crispy pork) and boss bao (savory Peking duck)! They have additional toppings inside the bun with sauce already included. No need to add anything else but to dig in! Great for a quick snack! Looking forward to trying their other ones and chicken wings in the future. read more

$3.50 Boss Bao with 5-spice pork was my fav. Duck bao had generous slice of duck meat. Quick serve. Not a place to linger. Scarf and go. Bao-wow yipee-yi yipee-yeah! read more

Baos Hog - Boss Bao. - Chinese Near Me - Garden Grove, California

This is my favorite little restaurant in Westminster. I can eat their food everyday. They a variety of entrees and they are all yummy and delish. I like their crunch pork belly roast the best. The meat is so tender and the skin so crispy. Also, employees are very friendly, courteous and respectful. It always makes a difference when you are comfortable in your sorroundings. Try them, you won't regret it!!!! read more

Ramen shops Gourmet food trucks Waffle sandwiches Design your own fast pizza Cronuts Ice cream stuffed donuts Did you miss out investing in the above or inventing them in the first place? Well ask daddy or a rich uncle to pony up and open up your own bao shop to get ahead of the next craze. Yep, you heard it here first. If this isn't the most perfect hand-held food item to hit OC since the all mighty taco I don't know what is. I saw Aaron E's review and knew immediately that I would be a fan since cha siu baau has always been a dim sum highlight for me. Taco-ize it and it's gotta be a sure hit. Yep, first bite of my duck bao and I was hooked. I read another review that the skin was too fatty, and I can see where that would be a turn off for some. I am happy to report that mine was crispier, but there was still a little fat in one of the bites. I am a huge fan of duck, so this did not bother me. The meat itself was so moist and flavorful, my taste buds are still thanking me. Also tried the Cow Bao, and yep, more wonderfulness. Super tender marinated beef with large pieces of green onion as a palate refresher. Also tried a bite of my buddy's spicy chicken bao, the Hot Chick, and I will order my own next visit. This is a very casual space, so not a place for a leisurely meal and no alcohol either. So if daddy can increase the budget to allow for a beer/wine license you will one up these early pioneers. Get here pronto, so you too can say you were there in 2015 before bao shops were every-damn-where. read more

Baos Hog is great for food to go and has potential to be a cool food truck in SoCal. I used to think that Baos Hog was a butchery shop because I passed by their location when they opened and spotted a meat truck that unloaded carcasses of pigs in front of this plaza. That gave me nightmares for a while. However, several years down the road, you forget about bad dreams and try to suppress them with food. They specialize in Chinese buns (soft, airy, dough) that you wrap anything in it. From $3 to $6 you can get pork, pork belly, duck, chicken). The hanen chicken (dark meat) also tastes great, but I was disappointed because their chicken breast is bit overcooked. It's probably because it's sitting in the storage container/bin for hours. Suggestions? Turn down the heat somehow, or cook it exactly to 159 degrees and let it rest. Their rice was tasty as it was cooked it chicken broth. What's surprising is that popcorn chicken was delicious and they used to give quite a huge portion. read more

This place just popped up on my Yelp, since I was in the area I thought I try it. I had the duck and pork. The duck was really good... Just like the ones you get a Chinese restaurant. The pork was good too. The duck was $4 and the pork was $3 I also had the Black tea lychee drink. I recommend trying the duck if you go. read more

First of all the the parking lot is a death trap. Second of all the Duck Bao is to die for. Duck Bao (roasted duck, cucumber, green onion, fried shallot and a side of duck sauce) Duck skin was crispy and the meat was tasty and cooked to perfection. By far the best Duck Bao I have had, ever. Bolsa Bao (crispy pork belly, cucumber, pickled carrot & onion, green onion, fried shallot, house sesame hoisin, sriracha garlic mayo) Good bao, but didn't compare to the Duck Hainan Chicken Rice - Flavorful rice w/ginger sauce. Had the dark meat, which was tasty, but wishing the chicken was boneless. Little bones were pesky while I was trying to enjoy my meal. Also tried the fried chicken wings- Crispyiest chicken wings I have had which is a good thing. Unfortunately the chicken itself lacked flavor. Will be back for the Duck Bao. read more

4 stars because prices went up and quality went down. Always got the duck baos but this time the pieces seemed a bit small and proportions seem a bit smaller as well. read more

I love getting the duck bao here but you can't go wrong with any of the other baos. The hainan chicken was a bit dry for me, so I would recommend sticking to the baos. read more

This is actually my second visit during lunch time. The first we came was around 12:30 PM and it was very busy. People were enjoying their selections of food. I ordered Duck and Porkbelly. Excellent choice. The duck was tender and juicy. The belly was cooked to perfection. I think you'll enjoy this exotic selection food. The Bosshog Fries are a meal in it self. read more

Duck bao was on point. My second choice is the bolsa bao. Decently priced for a tasty treat.

Staff has bad attitude. We order 6 rices and 2 baos, but they only put 1 baos at the end with deficient spoon and forks. It is unprofessional service and wastes our time. read more

I love this place so much! Been coming here for years. Get their pork belly and Hainan rice. Their baos are also fabulous. Just get everything on this menu read more

So after deciding where to eat around the Garden Grove place for lunch with friends, I asked if meeting up at Boas Hog would work. I had passed by it a few times, plus it's right next to Lien Hoa BBQ Deli and yummy is often surrounded by other yummy, right? :P Anyways, after doing research for the kind of baos I would try, I ended up getting 2 duck baos and 1 boss bao (with braised pork belly) along with cucumber lemonade. I should've listened to other reviews when they said that 1 bao isn't really enough but 2 baos will fill you up. They give you a very generous portion of meat per bao with other delicious fillings that make them very satisfying. Because I am such a huge fan of duck, I ate those first and greatly enjoyed them with the duck sauce that was provided to me. However, I was so full from my duck baos and having some of my friend's cauli fries that I could only manage a couple nibbles of my boss bao (which still tasted amazing but I had no room for it). Luckily, Baos Hog has the perfect sized to go containers that fit one bao exactly and I was able to save it for the next day. Seriously, the meat was so tender and flavorful that my Vietnamese friend and I were wondering if they got their meet from the Lien Hoa BBQ Deli. There are definitely a few other baos (bolsa and cow) I'd want to try along with some of their rice entrees in the future. While understandable, $3.50-$4.00/bao can get steep so I wouldn't be able to frequent this place as often as I'd like despite the deliciousness. Also, while the cucumber lemonade was alright, it was a touch too sweet for me (even with the ice melting) and not something I'd probably get again. I was curious about the lychee lemonade but other reviewers also mentioned it being too sweet. I guess I'll just have to opt for the watermelon chiller next time. If you're craving baos or delicious rice entrees, I would definitely recommend Baos Hog and am looking forward to getting some more baos in the future! read more

Hidden gem to say the least, where's the 6th star when you need it. Bolsa and baos "sandwhich"? Perfect combination of pork and veggies. Thai tea boba was warm but iced. Super tasteful food and prompt staff. read more

Disappointed and meat was soggy. Quality has gone downhill and will not be coming back

Coming here on a Saturday night, I thought it would be super crowded but it was okay. I had a group of 4 and we found seat right away but as we were eating, more people came and there were no places for those to sit. It is a very tiny restaurant. We orderd the duck, pork and the beef baos and we also wanted to order the fries but the girl said they were out of season.......WHAT? fries out of season? how is it that crawfish is out of season, yet they still have crawfish but fries...??? Im a little confused. Anyways, we settled for the popcorn chicken. Overall, we paid a little under $30 and I was not completely satisfied. Yes the baos are quite large but I would not pay $3.50 for one. They were not bad tasting but I would much rather go to an asian market and order a whole tray of duck and eat that. There wasn't anything to memorable here. The popcorn chicken was very bland too. I guess this place was to hype for me. sorry! read more

I ordered the crispy pork with rice plate and the quality of meat was not that great. There were huge chunks of fat with crispy pork skin. But there was hardly any meat at all. With each bite I felt myself feeling sick. I've been here a few times and quite enjoyed the food. Today must have been an off day since it is a Monday... Maybe I'll have better luck next time... read more

Best pork belly! The portions are very reasonable. Also had the Hainan which I thought was good. But highly recommend pork belly.. cant wait to go back! read more

Absolutely delish!!! My sister tried this place thru grubhub and loved t so much hat she suggested we go there directly and get the dishes fresh. I got the Bolsa Boa (aka crispy pork belly) and salt/pepper wings. Both were so flavorful and cheap! I cannot wait to try g there again to try the duck boa ir maybe one of their rice dishes. read more

THE SERVICE! Great! THE WATERMELON CHILLER! Fantastic! THE AMBIENCE! Gorgeous! Super modern and sleek The buns.. Oh god .. The buns... Presentation wise, complete eye-Gasm! If it's your first time in America, def come here , take some pictures, make your friends jelly, and then give it to the homeless brah. Not worth it. I really loved the concept , I was so excited to come here. Once arrived , cashier was super sweet! The decor is super hipster and inviting! Then the watermelon chiller was just great .. All in all, I should have just left after that.. I opt for the top three, which is duck, boss, and the fried pork belly. Duck.. I feel like it needs more, sauce with the duck is great, but that one slice of cucumber? What's up with that... Anyways the boss.. Omg can I get some meat with this fat? Golly .. Felt like I was eating someone's belly fat. Gag with each bite for real. Pork belly , pork belly is decent. Not over the top but tolerable. I loved everything about this place, but damn, the quality can improve. I def don't want to give it a one star or two star! Cause there's just so much potential.. Hopefully it gets better.. I did try the fried chicken, completely breaded and hard to bite into. Next I tried the last item with is Cha SIU, the cha siu itself is good, but just so simple and boring. Fell asleep eating it!! However , the bun itself is really soft and edible .. Unlike the ingredients in them. read more

I got the fries and they're pretty good and filling. I've been here twice and the lady cashier was pretty intimidating and had a rbf both times I showed up but I guess I come for the food not the hospitality lol read more

So in love with this place! I almost always get the boss bao (braised pork belly) and the bolsa bao (crispy pork belly). In my opinion, the baos are better as snacks than a full on meal, but delicious none the less. I've come here with several different people, and no one I've gone with has been disappointed with this place. You also definitely have to try the cauli fries! Fried cauliflower with their special mayo-y sauce, mmmmmm. Worth a try if you're in the area :) read more

Feels unsanitary inside. Everything looks old and dirty. They should clean the shop up a little!

I think this place is pretty cool. I had a variation in Las Vegas. The Bolsa was pretty good, but the Cow with eggs was probably a favorite. Will be coming back soon. read more

A combination of Cantonese BBQ with Taiwanese Gua Bao, not traditional but really delicious mix. Been here at least 10 times and the quality is always good, with really reasonable price. Definitely recommend Roast pork belly ones, both bao and rice plate, they are just amazing. read more

Baos Hog - Roast pork belly rice+duck bao, so good!!! - Chinese Near Me - Garden Grove, California

SOOO Goood! Why did I not think of this concept myself?! So next door you have the OG duck BBQ and then you have this new trendy spot for us younger folks who can appreciate a modern fusion approach - I welcome this creativity! This has to be my favorite Wedding dish entree ever and when I spotted a picture of this place I knew I had to try it. The Baos are literally the size of my hand! At first I thought it was kind of expensive to pay $4 for each bao but after seeing them in person I now know why. I definitely got full after eating about 1.5 of them. This cute place is located right next to Lien Hoa in the Brookhurst/Westminster plaza and I'm pretty sure they are related by blood somehow. The meat tastes like Lien Hoa quality. I tried all of the baos, and my favorites were the duck, braised pork belly, and fried chicken. They opened a few weeks ago so service was a little wonky (server asked us about 3 times to repeat our order, and it still came out wrong) but the owner was very apologetic and accommodated to us by comping an item. Can't wait to come back here. I'm looking forward to trying their rice bowls next! read more

It says open at 11am they aren't ready until 11:15? What bs won't be back to try this, the reviews r pretty mixed so I'm wondering how good this place will even be read more

Got the following: Char Siu Bao Crispy Pork Belly Bao Beef Bao Cucumber Lemondade Out of the Bao my favorite was the Beef....I was most excited to try the crispy pork belly (and the guy at the counter said that this one was his favorite) but I thought that was the least flavorful. The char siu had hardly any meat....the beef one had alot of meat and was really juicy and flavorful. The cucumber lemonade was friggin awesome....I could live on that stuff....it has a peppery kick to it also....big ups on that....next time will bring some hendricks gin to add to it...and voila! SUmmertime in Cali! ;) read more

I love the idea of baos on the go! This little shop is in a plaza next to the 2 most popular viet places in town : boiling crab and banh mi che cali and it's definitely making a name for itself . The parking lot is always full and the shop is crowded, but the food is worth it. These little buns are filled with crispy meats and veggies . I ordered the duck and Bolsa with a lychee lemonade. The bao is soft and plain with roast pork or duck and veggies tucked inside, drizzled with sauce. It certainly is tasty, but I would only consider it a snack. The lychee lemonade was surprisingly good with the sweetness of lychee and sourness from the lemon mixed together in a slush. read more
