If you happen to be in the Orlando area make sure to check out King Bao! They have the bao's, the flavor and the best hospitality! Since I was in the area and love bao buns, I had to give this play a try! I ordered three different buns-all of which had very creative names. They were flavorful, packed full of meats and toppings and were cooked to perfection. Everyone around me was very happy and you could tell this was a spot for locals and newcomers alike. The food is good and everyone knows it. Along with good food, the prices are very affordable. King Bao has an expansive indoor seating area and is clean. It could be a fun date spot or even a place for a family meal. King Bao for the win! read more

King Bao - Asian Fusion Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I appreciate that nothing gets delivered to my house faster than King Bao (about 15-20 min) so when I'm working from home and need a quick bite, it's always a solid choice! I love how creative they get with their menu and there's always new seasonal baos to choose from. I have my staples, but I also like to change it up each time I order from them and try a new one. The Kickin' Chicken and Firecracker Shrimp baos have always been two of my favorites. Recently I've also tried the Soft Shell Crab, Hot Chicken (yum!), the Lobster Roll (a bit pricier but delish), and the OMG "Oh My Grouper" baos. Loved them all, but the spicy ones are definitely top of my list. Honorable mention goes to the Elote and Coco Loco (coconut shrimp) baos. Of course, I also have to get the Fire tots (tossed in sriracha aioli, jalapenos, togarashi & chives) to round out my meal. They're always sooooo crispy! King Bao is a MUST in the Mills 50 neighborhood, and you can even swing by Royal Tea next door afterwards for dessert! read more

Came to Orlando to visit family and stopped by for a quick lunch. The location is right on a busy road, so parking was tricky but got lucky and got a spot right in front (would not recommend going during the 5 pm rush hour). The place is small and has limited seating, but the service was GREAT. I felt very welcomed and appreciated by the staff. Let's get to the FOOD... OMG what can I say... but AMAZING. This was my first time having Baos not from a grocery store, so I might be biased but it was incredible. I ordered the Chicken Katsu Curry, Hot Chicken, BBQ Rib, and one off the Special menu plus their tots, and everything was incredible. The baos are so soft and fluffy that I could sleep on them, and the protein for each meal was phenomenal. The only suggestion would be to hire an interior designer to bring the place to life because it looks a little run down from the inside and out... but maybe that's a good thing to keep it a hidden gem. read more

King bao is such a good quick place to eat and has SO many bao choices. I'm a big fan of the Korean bbq bao and any pork belly one, but there's a wide variety of options to suit any taste. They were pretty quick with serving the bao and the atmosphere is a chill, casual sit down restaurant. I would definitely come here to try more of the bao's! read more

King Bao - Asian Fusion Near Me - Orlando, Florida

King Bao is the first restaurant where I've ever tried baos, so I had limited expectations going in. I loved the wide variety of inventive flavor options, and ended up ordering the Kickin' Chicken and Glen Rhee. Their buns were delightfully fluffy and their fillings were fresh and plentiful. I thoroughly enjoyed both, but if I had to choose one I would recommend the Glen Rhee to a friend. The Korean short rib and Asian pear salsa combo is unlike anything I've had before. For $7 I got both baos and a soft drink which I think is a great deal! Note that the seating inside King Bao is pretty limited, so I'd recommend ordering delivery or to-go. read more

Small establishment with limited seating. The place is nice and clean. Getting the combo is the best deal. Had the pork belly bao, very flavorful, well cooked and just great tasting. My favorite was the Cuban bao with pulled pork - simply amazing. The shrimp bao, I heard was great too. Service was friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back. read more

Everytime I come to Orlando I want to try this spot. FINALLY took the time to stop in and glad I did. It met my expectations and was way better than I thought. I got the kickin chicken Bao, the firecracker shrimp bao, and the fire tots. The shrimp bao was my favorite but they have a large selection of Bao to choose from. The tater tots were really crisp without being soggy or full of grease which is a plus. Food was fresh and the service was great! read more

Good food! Dirty as hell almost to the point that I question eating it. We took it to go cause we didn't even want to sit in there.

Hands down a great experience. Authentic bao with flavors that make your tastebuds dance. A good spot for a quick meal. Shrimp bao is my go to. read more

It's easy to miss this little place but it's a great place to go if you like bao. I tried the Porkzilla and the Kickin' Chicken. The Porkzilla was nice and juicy with a good flavor. The chicken was a bit dry but with good flavor. It wasn't spicy despite being kimchi fried. I would definitely come back to try other things on the menu. Make sure you park on the street. They have signs saying you'll be towed if you park in the back lot. read more

This is one of my favorites for late night dining! I am a big fan of their Veganville and Firecracker Shrimp, but honestly, all of the ones I've tried are really tasty; flavorful and with a great balance of textures. I highly recommend you order at least three different ones at a sitting so you can enjoy a variety. read more

The Korean short rib bao was UNREAL. They put a ton of meat on mine (I felt like I could've stuffed another bao with the extra meat) and everyone else loved theirs too, a shrimp one, a kickin chicken, a hot chicken, and the seafood one. I had the two boa combo and was full for $8.50. Definitely would go again! They need to franchise!!! read more

King Bao - Asian Fusion Near Me - Orlando, Florida

King Bao is an Orlando staple! Their specials are my favorite, but you can't go wrong with any bao here. Definitely recommend the Katsu, Glen Rhee, and vegan options, as well as the plethora of tater tot options. It's a hole in the wall, so seating can be slim, but food is quick and fresh. Makes a great delivery option too! Plus it's right next door to Royaltea, so many tend to hop between the two. read more

-If you're visiting the Mills District, do not drive past this place! Parking is a bit of a pain. But it's worth the hassle! While I have yet to try their tots, their baos are so yummy. They're reasonably priced and they offer specials. For $7 you can get 2 baos and a drink or for $9 3 baos and a drink. The baos range between $3-3.75. What we ordered: -Hogzilla - lots of flavor, pork belly cooked to perfection -Mr. Potato Head - the sweet potato croquette was a little on the cold side. The sour cream roasted corn relish was a unique touch -Kickin' Chicken - not too spicy, nice crispy chicken crunch Hot Chicken - made with spicy gochujang sauce, garnished with pickled carrots and daikon, topped with scallions. This was a hit and I wished I had another for the road! This spot is worth a try if you can find parking. We visited on a Monday afternoon so it wasn't too busy. read more

King Bao - Top: Hot Chicken Bao Bottom: Hog Hogzilla Bao - Asian Fusion Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This place is a MUST TRY if you are a fan of Asian street food. I LOVE bao buns -- whenever I get them at a restaurant it's just your traditional pork bao buns. Albeit they are delicious, I've always wanted to try a variety. Cue: KING BAO. Firstly, this place is hard to find, especially due to the street parking and parking is a headache. When I parked and walked up, I expected a bigger spot but this hidden gem is worth the hassle. Basically, you walk in and there's a plethora of different types of buns for you to pick from. Vegetarian, seafood, BBQ, Peruvian, chicken, vegan-- you name it, the option is up there. For all sorts of palettes alike you will find an option that you love. For bigger eaters, I suggest getting the 2 or 3 bao bun combo. I ordered the 2 and that was perfect for me. Also I ordered the hot tots. Everything I ate was delicious not to mention fresh. The flavors popped and I ate everything so fast I forgot to take pictures! The hot tots were spicy and delicious, if you are in the mood for a kick try them out. The glaring miss about this place is the lack of proper ventilation. Since they are frying in here and their ventilation is lacking I couldn't keep my eyes open because my eyes were BURNING and tearing up. I was extremely uncomfortable and I'm sure this is a violation of some sort. Another patron in my party experienced the same. This is really unacceptable for an establishment as popular as this. If you do come check them out, please be wary that your eyes might burn, and if you have sensitive eyes, please order to go and eat elsewhere. Unless this situation is fixed, that's what I'll be doing. Otherwise, the food is delicious and would recommend checking them out if you're a fan of bao buns. read more

Coming from a Chinese background I love this concept. They've taken the ideas of these wheat Buns that are fluffy and decadent and added a modern twist to some of their recipes. I tried the hogzilla , firecracker shrimp, and kickin chicken. The one most Asians will rmr growing up is the GUA Bao or essentially the "hogzilla". All were delicious. The buns are soft, fluffy, and balance out the savory and sweet fillings. I recommend all these that I've tried for any chicken shrimp or pork lovers. My fav is the hogzilla but that's cuz it reminds me of the traditional pork belly "gua" Bao with slightly different twists like honey roasted ground nuts in place of the sweet nut sprinkling. As someone who makes these Bao's from scratch with my mom I can tell these are hand made and not store bought frozen ones. The firecracker shrimp was crispy, savory, and the aioli provided a nice sweetness to it. Definitely recommend this place! read more

This place is someplace that needs to franchise, badly! The foods must be a mix of flavors from Maryland, Maine, Mass, and Manila (Philippines) spelling MMMM. Every time I go in, I try something new. The inner harbor (I'm a Marylander, why not) the chicken bao (great price), and soft shell crap.... I don't know how they flavor things this well. I need to go here more often when I'm in town, just to stay familiar with the entire menu. This is definitely a place I may one day just order the entire menu and sample things. Also the buns (the bao) is just the perfect item for a Florida winter (50 degrees) read more

If you want some good new age street food come to King Bao! Their meat to bao ratio is insane! They are stuffed with a huge chunk of meat in a soft pillowy steamed buns that is finger licking good. They can be a bit messy so be sure to grab a few napkins on your way out. I ended up getting the Two Bao Meal and decided on the Hogzilla and Kickin' Chicken. The Hogzilla was packed full of flavor that was complemented with some pickled carrots and daikon and garnished with some cilantro. The Kickin' Chicken was good too, but not as flavorful as the Hogzilla. Both were satisfying and hit the spot though! read more

King Bao never disappoints. Whether you going to the store and watch them make it in front of your eyes or you get it delivered the food is always delicious! They are always changing up their menu. They have their staples like the Coco Loco, think coconut, shrimp, and mango chutney; the Hogzilla, or the Cuban. New ones that we tried this evening, but did not disappoint were the OMG - Oh My Grouper, the Oyster Po(boy), and the Chicken Katsu Curry! They also have five or six different types of gourmet, tater tot concoctions. Our favorites are the Truffle tots and the Fake Nit Tater. This is a perfect lunch spot. If you're not over hungry for dinner, it is the way to go. If you go into the restaurant location, don't be afraid to speak up! They move super fast... It's part of the charm. Everybody there is amazingly nice and want to make sure that you have the best experience possible. My family has tried Bao all over Central Florida and beyond and this is our go to... And our favorite. read more

Won't go back The Cuban flavorful.The inner harbor was a fish-stick on a bun, with no flavor. The tots under done, little pork, and over loaded with sour cream. Left hungry and underwhelmed after hearing all the good things. I am sure others enjoyed it, but first experience leaves a lasting impression. read more

King Bao has been a go-to spot for us ever since we moved up for college years ago. It's an affordable place that puts a unique twist on Asian bao buns. We always go for the 3 bao bun combos, which have a variety of delicious options for a good price. Our personal favorites are the seafood bao buns - they're absolutely fantastic (specifically the inner harbor). King Bao is perfect for anyone looking for affordable food with delicious Asian flavors that aren't too heavy. Would recommend! The workers are chill too. read more

So glad we found this place! The place is small and so we were glad to get seating. The menu is extensive and well priced so you can try multiple types of Baos. I had three baos: the pork belly, Korean short rib, and soft shell crab. The bread itself is so good, slightly sweet and savory. The fillings were generous, a lot of meat, toppings and sauce. This is a great value for a very filling meal. The service was fast and you order from a touch screen. read more

We visited King Bao around 5:30 on a Saturday. They were pretty busy, but it looked like we just beat the rush. All of the ordering was on a tablet which was be very convenient. They also had a ton of specials which were all in the tablet too which was great, because we didn't even know they were there! My friend and I both got the 2 bao combo with drink. We took a 2-top and waited for our food. My friend got the Hogzilla and the Glen Rhee. They came out pretty fast. He said they were both great, but the pork belly was done just perfectly and was excellent. I ordered the BBQ rib and the fried oyster with sauce on the side. It took about 15 minutes between his order coming out and mine because they filled multiple online orders in between even though I ordered just before he did, and when mine came out the sauce was on top of the oyster bao. I told them that I'd ordered it on the side but I didn't feel like waiting so I just ate it. Both baos were really good, the serving of fried oyster was very generous. The tartar sauce on top wasn't my favorite (because I don't like tartar sauce) but the oysters were cooked perfectly. I LOVED the rib bao. I did dock one star for the service, but I'll definitely be going back for more of those amazing baos! read more

A hidden gem! The bao was delicious, mine & my boyfriend's personal favorite was the firecracker shrimp, it was full of flavor and the bao buns were very soft! The Hogzilla and Glenn Rhee were also incredible. The tots were interesting. We got Porky's Tatchos, we gave them a 5/10. There isn't anything too crazy about them but they were still pretty good. The dessert was amazing for me, but my boyfriend didn't really enjoy it as much because the ice cream on top of the fried bao was a bit unsettling for him. I still enjoyed it though. It was definitely a satisfying meal. It's a hole in the wall which doesn't bother me but it can be difficult to find parking. & the drawings on the wall are very interesting. There isn't that much seating. There isn't much to say about the service because you are able to just order on an iPad if you're paying with card and then go and pick up yourself. We used cash though & were able to ask the man at the counter for suggestions and he was very helpful! We will be going back to try more of the bao!! read more

Second time coming here, but first time posting. I think the reason why I forgot to post the first time is because we ate it so fast. Thus, I decided to take the picture first before we decided to start eating. The first time was good... And the second time was even better. When you're in the store, you even have the ability to see him put the whole order together and he did such a fantastic job. Everything tasted delicious and left me wanting more. I don't wanna try others that are on their list, so I'll definitely be back in about a week or two to try them out. read more
