    Vegetable Bao
    Laura H.

    I was so excited to find this shop! I ran over to grab a veggie bao the moment we arrived! I should have returned for some potstickers. They had several vegetarian items! The lady (owner?) who runs the place is very nice!! Take some time and head over there. It's A little out of the way, so I hope they stick around.

    Formosa Bao is a great stop in Long Beach. It is primarily a takeout spot with limited seating. There's a great selection of frozen baos and dumplings to takeaway for fresh prep at your vacation spot. But if you need a tasty bite asap, there's menu items that are ready to go from the steam case. We stopped by on 6/18/25 where The Homie had a curry chicken bao, and I opted for a pork sausage bao. Talk about savory and flavorful. Terrific bites served by an enthusiastic owner!

    The foodie kid read reviews and restaurant deacriptions all the way from our home in Lincoln City to Long Beach WA and landed on bao. Because we love bao and all things Asian, dumpling, dimsum, and bun. The lady was nice and friendly. The little shop was cute. They were out of tofu. Sad kid. We got chicken curry bao, beef meatball bao, two bbq pork bao, and two bbq pork skewers. All tasty and hot. $30ish. Everything was delicious. Eat them fresh, the one my kid saved for day two got soggy from condensation in the to go box. Leftover bbq pork for breakfast hit right though. Give them a try!

    Amazing food, family friendly. Cute small business. Indoor and out door seating. Eat there and take some home. For a look at the food and to learn more about this small business check out our youtube video. Had Read bean bun, Tea Egg, BBQ pork Bun, vegetarian yakisoba and it was all very yummy! https://youtu.be/yNh3QlXMkaM

    What a little gem! Had dinner here for the first time following the recommendation of a friend…read more It's hard to explain but I definitely felt like a guest being served a delicious home cooked meal in a close family friend's home. It's a very clean, comforting, and cozy space. You can tell the staff are so kind. I loved all the classic dishes - xian jian baos (aka pan-fried baos) were crispy and the best I've ever had (even compared to the bay area), beef noodle soup, and sesame noodles. It's exactly what you would hope for with these dishes and exceeded my expectations from a small mom and pop restaurant like this. I also loved the won ton noodle soup - the wontons had great flavor and tasted like it was home-made (in the best way) with enough shrimp to make me happy. Their menu included a number of different kinds of teas, which I would have loved to try. It would be great for someone who enjoys tea. We sat through the prime dinner time on a weeknight and the tables were eventually filled but did not notice any wait for anyone who came by. Several people came for pick-up, but I would recommend dining in if you can!

    One of my favorite handheld foods in Portland! Their farmers market stand usually has a long line,…read morenot as long as Enchanted Sun burritos though. Pork is definitely my favorite. I barely enjoyed the vegan though. The only slight negative is the buns are a mess to eat, especially as they do not offer utensils. Moreover, the wrapper often sticks to the airy delicious steamed bun so it breaks apart. There's other wrapper options that would definitely be better suited. Chili oil is a cut above, they sell it for take home. The people are usually very nice.

The queue can get long but honestly moves quite quickly - the baos are LOADED up, made on the spot, and quite delicious. The vegetarian ones I've had are always chock full of vegetables and flavor and definitely don't disappoint. My husband and his omnivore friends can vouch for the beef/pork items also being hits. Their chili oil does NOT play around and packs a good amt of spice so fair warning if you dollop a ton of it on your bao. I also love that you can buy this by the jar if you'd like to take it home and enjoy-suffer the flames of spice -- Will definitely be grabbing a jar myself. Service is super friendly and they were very nice about helping us out due to a mix up in our order. Delicious, flavorful, well priced baos. Absolutely check it out on your walks in at the Farmer's Market and get in line for some tasty bites!

    Brunch in Portland, Oregon…read more.. After I read reviews about Portland's Chinatown, I searched for a dimsum place outside of Chinatown and found Jade Rabbit I liked the name of the place and saw that they had two kinds of rabbit-shaped dimsum! Another cool thing is that their menu is vegan... that means that I don't have to worry about dairy products that give me pain. We found free street parking about a half a block away and waited for Jade Rabbit to open at 11am. We didn't have reservations, but we're seated immediately. The decor was great! I enjoyed looking at all of the Rabbit figurines! The furniture was colorful and the convenient restroom had interesting decorations, too! The service was okay. Some items were not available and our server recited the list that included chow funn. Shucks! She came back later and said that the chow funn was, in fact, available... yay! Our server seemed a bit nervous as her hand shook and placed the special menu upside-down... LOL! We won't bite you! She recommended the Ube Jam drink - it was made with coconut cream... yes! The chow funn was a bit bland. We added some soy sauce. The Puto Pao Bunny Bao had an unusual flavor - maybe the brown sugar can be omitted because the black garlic and vegan pork might be fine without it? The Jade Rabbit Dumplings also could be more savory. Something was off... and the filling was a bit sparse. Anyway, maybe we could have ordered better, but we got what we wanted! Thank you for the cute food! Note: 22 percent is added to the bill - so no need to tip.
