    Overall: 2 stars…read more Michelin Guide Taiwanese restaurant in the vibrant district of SoHo. I found that the restaurant runs expensive and didn't live up to my expectations fully as the dishes were inconsistent and I found service to be chaotic -- particularly, when the staff spilled the cucumber dressing and almost spilled onto me and my friend. Pork Belly Bao - Classic comfort pork bun that has all the right textures from the soft pillowy bun to the melt in your mouth pork belly to the crisp pickles to the crunchy crumble of peanut. Marinated Cucumbers - Intriguing season of cucumber that offers a flavorfully spiced palette. However, I found some of the dish to be bitter as if the chili crunch was burned when made. Wagyu Ikura Rice Bowl - Their special rice bowl that has roasted beef topped with ikura. I particularly like the horseradish mayo it came with to give the beef a creamy balance with the rice. However, I found the beef to be unevenly cooked w.r.t. the bowl and the ikura to be disproportionate to the beef.

    Tiny spot with about 30 seats, but they turn tables fast and food comes out quickly. Definitely…read moremake a reservation if you're more than two, or go early (before 6 p.m.) to avoid the wait.My friend and I shared four bao buns and the Taiwanese fried chicken. Everything was great except the beef short rib bao--it was pretty bland. The surprise standout was the daikon croquette bao, which totally earned its spot on the chef's recommendations. The fried chicken was also excellent.After eating here, it's easy to see why BAO has a Bib Gourmand.
