I came across this place while dining in local establishments and decided to try it out. This is worth trying out between the quality of food and price. Their individual bao are about 4 inches in diameter for $3 each. There is plenty of protein inside so it isn't just a bunch of bao. Bao itself is great. Try out the spicy chicken or braised pork. It has a nice spicy kick that balances flavor and spice. If you are looking for frozen bulk, they have many flavors available at a great price. They are nice enough to throw a bag of ice in as well so your stuff doesnt defrost as fast. The employees are your nice aunties with some top notch customer service. They really walk you through what they have and answer your questions before you order. Restaurant is spacious and clean. read more

[ FOOD ] Their baos are packed fat and about $2.5 - $3 each. Braised pork belly - savory pork belly but but needs more seasoning Spicy chicken chili pepper - bomb and packs a peppery punch O: Cabbage mushroom egg - mid, my fault for picking it Pickled cabbage & pork - interesting savory and sour flavor [ SERVICE ] Nice cashier. [ PLACE ] Big lot but can be packed full on weekend nights. Additional parking in the rear. Restaurant is spacious with a lots of seating. [ VERDICT ] I don't really eat baos but this place pack their baos fat and is very affordable. I'll definitely come back to taste the other baos. read more

Nice hole in the wall place for breakfast food. There's a handful of food places next door inside the plaza. It's good for baos and dumplings and they have congee. They have a bar for the congee and sides and I believe they are $3/pp and $2.5/pp. I think it's unlimited. Double check on the prices and facts. The lady at the front was nice and friendly. She spoke Chinese. Food wise, the buns were yum. The dumplings and wonton soup was delicious, felt like your grandma made it. Definitely home cook meals are comfort. It looked like the people that came in here were locals and regulars read more

Pretty good baos here ranging from $3-4. They are small, but very juicy and flavorful! Located in a shopping complex in Rowland Heights with tons of parking, it can get crowded sometimes since there are so many stores and restaurants at this complex! Would definitely come back to taste their congee read more

King Baozi Bistro - Chinese Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

I just discovered a Chinese restaurant located inside a strip mall at the intersection of Fullerton and Colima. They specialize in freshly steamed buns (baozi) and feature an all-you-can-eat congee bar. The lady working there speaks Mandarin; she asked if it was my first time, and I told her it was. For just $3, you get unlimited soup and congee with four different varieties to choose from. For an extra $2.50, you get unlimited refills from a selection of four cold side dishes. They also offer à la carte steamed baos, wontons, and dumplings for dine-in or takeout. I didn't have much of an appetite today, so I skipped the buns and just ordered the congee and appetizers. My bill came out to only $5.50 plus tax, which is ridiculously cheap! For the congee, the options were Century Egg & Lean Pork, Eight Treasure, Millet, and Hulatang (Spicy Pepper Soup). I tried the Century Egg & Lean Pork congee, but the texture was a bit watery, and the flavor was somewhat bland. The Hulatang (hot pepper soup) was a little too thick and jelly-like. While the Millet congee was also on the bland side, I actually really enjoyed the texture. I skipped the Eight Treasure congee this time. Honestly, at $3 for all-you-can-eat congee, it sounds too good to be true, so I didn't have high expectations for the quality. However, I really liked the cold side dishes bar! They had all my favorites, including Liángbàn Tǔdòusī (shredded potato salad), shredded wood ear mushroom salad, and spicy cucumber salad. I will definitely go back next time to try their dumplings, wontons, and baozi. read more

Have ordered from this store a few times for delivery since it's one of the few places that make fresh baos with different toppings. The food here reminds me of the breakfast foods served in China early mornings. My usual go to orders is an assortment of their top baos: leek & egg, pork, and beef along with an order of wontons: pork or pork & shrimp. This time I also ordered the soy milk and it's delicious. Overall the food is fresh and reasonably priced. I haven't eaten there in person but it seems they have more options for buffet. My favorite is the leek & egg bao. read more

If you're craving a decent bao this place will definitely deliver. Nothing fancy just a decent meal. I've tried about all of their bao and all were good. The braised pork belly bao might be a bit too rich for some. The self serve congee and cold side dish is definitely worth the price and a perfect pair to the bao. read more

Delicious! The lady behind the counter was so nice and loved our excitement over the food. She gave us the cutest keychain that I immediately added to my bag. There was a 10-15ish wait but man these were fresh! The texture on both the bao and dumplings were amazing. The bao was airy and not too dense; the dumplings were slick and succulent. We got the green bean and pork bao as well as the red braised pork bao, both were incredible. Decently sized, too. Sometimes bbq braised pork can be a touch too sweet for me, but these were perfect! The dumpling was chive forward, aromatic and tasty. I will be back to try more! read more

This is my go-to place whenever my stomach needs something light or I just want a classic, heartwarming Chinese meal. The food itself is always super highly quality, light, and absolutely delicious - whether you get their famous baos, wontons, dumplings, or appetizers. My favorite aspect of the food is that for $2.99 you get access to their all-you-can-eat appetizers bar. You really can't beat the value here. It's also ran by a team of super kind Chinese aunties. Every time I come, they make me feel like I'm home. Can't express how much I love this place. It's a must try!!!! read more

This is where the vegetarian buns shine more than pork. The leeks and egg one was the best but the cabbage and mushroom was pretty good too. Full of filling and the buns are nice and soft. It's the perfect size and I do not detect any msg in the filling, which is rare these days. read more

Super fresh Chinese buns. Baozi is a stuffed Chinese bun. This used to be a frog pot restaurant but now it's a baozi restaurant. The baozi are always freshly made so very often the stuffing you want would be sold out. It can be annoying but the good thing is that they don't serve you frozen ones. My favorite stuffing is the pork which is think is better than beef one which is too lean. I think the chive one with egg is not bad either. Overall I think the stuffing can be improved (the sauce has too much soy sauce) but it's really not bad at all. The porridges are a great deal for $3 a person because it's all you can eat. It's a very popular place in the morning so be prepared to have to wait for the baozi. Service is prompt and courteous and interior is bright and large. Parking can be hard to find due to the busy plaza. read more

King Baozi is another great restaurant offering high value meal in Rowland Heights. Their specialty is northern Chinese style breakfast, offering a wide variety of bao flavor such as pork, beef, spicy chicken, pickled cabbage with pork, egg and chives, braised pork, and more. They also serve classic cold dishes like seaweed, shredded potato, and cucumber, along with comforting soups including millet porridge, century egg and pork porridge, eight treasure porridge, hot pepper soup, and other Chinese dishes such as wontons and dumplings. While the bao are sold at about $2.5 to $3 each, the cold dishes and soups are offered in AYCE at a very reasonable price ($2-3 per person). Most people can enjoy a filling meal for around $10 per person. The bao seasoning leans on the heavier side, but pairing them with their millet congee creates a balanced and satisfying combination. The bao skin is thick and soft, and generally two to three of them are enough to satisfy an adult. Although I am not a fan of hot pepper soup, this was my first time trying it and the flavor was interesting. Overall, King Baozi is a solid spot for a hearty, affordable northern Chinese breakfast/lunch meal. Come hungry and enjoy! read more

Was trying to find a soy milk place in RH area. This place pops out during search. The store is located in a shopping mall, so parking wasn't an issue. Although there was only one lady working in the front, she actually was able to run everything(taking the orders, clean the tables, packing the food and refill essentials/food) very well. On top of it, super high positive energy when greeting the customers. One of the main reasons this place reserved the 5-stars reviews. Place is clean and was label. After you placed and paid for the order, just simplely find a table, kitchen will bring the order to you, and you can start serving yourself with 4 great selection of congees (personally 八宝粥 and 小米粥 were my favorites), plus soy milk. I didn't try the side dishes this time. Surely will come back to try it out next time. They have sugar and salt on the side, so you can add according to your own taste. Neither congee nor soy was salted/sweetened, so if you prefer more flavor, definely grab a seasoning dish, and load up the sugars to your likes. They don't have cold soy milk, and don't sell fried donut(油条). That's the only complains I got. Overall, a great breakfast/lunch place. read more

We've been coming here regularly since we discovered this place!! Super delicious baozi (buns) and a buffet side dish/porridge bar that we really enjoy. It's $3/per person and $2.5 per person for the porridge and side dish respectively. The guns are so so delicious. We've tried all the flavors and they are all good. Pictured are the vegetarian options - leek and egg and cabbage and mushroom. The best part is the people here are the sweetest. That's probably why we love coming here so much. read more

A super casual spot that even my dad is willing to go out to eat! Pricing is very affordable and the buns are pretty tasty; we each have a different fave, but mine is spicy chicken. We enjoy the AYCE congee/soup station and add an appetizer AYCE. Fast-ish, but we can eat the other stuff while waiting for the baos. And staff is always friendly!1 read more

Although it may be easy to pass by a place like King Baozi Bistro because of the availability of baozi in Asian supermarkets nearby, I would urge anyone to take eating at this place into serious consideration! As you would've guessed, King Baozi Bistro focuses primarily on making fresh baozis of all kinds - from beef filled to pickled cabbage and pork filled, everything we've tried here has been great. My personal favorites are for the mixed filling baozis like the chive and egg and the pickled cabbage and pork I just mentioned. Everything also comes out piping hot and the baozi fillings always have a finely mixed texture. King Baozi Bistro also features a self service congee bar with a nice selection of sides as well other items like red bean porridge and a homemade wonton soup if you want something to supplement your baozi. It's worth noting nothing in the menu breaks the band here - each baozi is around $2.50 - $3, the congees are $3 and the most expensive item are the wontons at close to $10. I think what really makes King Baozi a special place is its service, specially the nice older lady who seems to be running it most of the time. She's incredibly sweet, goes out of her way to ask how you are enjoying the baozi and probably cleans up more than she has to so be nice and help her out! The interior also harkens back to the type of older mom and pops restaurants in the 80s and 90s you'd see in parts of Asia and even here in Rowland Heights during that time - simple, fluorescent, but with these small touches that make them fun. King Baozi Bistro seems to like having interesting variations of Disney and Marvel characters adorn their chairs! read more

I had lunch with a friend last Wednesday at King Baozi Bistro. We were seated right away upon arrival, even without a reservation. We ordered at the counter first. The prices were very reasonable and fair. The all-you-can-eat cold dish bar was only $2.50 per person and included four different options: seaweed, sliced potato, celery with peanuts, and cucumber salad. The fillable congee was just $3 per person, and they offered four types: Millet Congee (my favorite), Eight Treasure Congee, Century Egg & Lean Pork Congee, and Pepper Hot Soup. For the baozi, my favorite was the Red Braised Pork Belly Baozi ($3 each). I also tried the Chive & Egg Baozi ($2.50 each), which was very good. The Beef Baozi ($3 each) was a bit salty for my taste, while the Pork Baozi ($2.50 each) was good. The prices at King Baozi Bistro were excellent--we only spent about $28 total for lunch for two people. It's now one of my go-to lunch spots. I also noticed some customers ordering takeout. I will definitely visit King Baozi Bistro in Rowland Heights again! read more

Good for a quick bite! I got the pork bun and the egg+chive bun. I really enjoyed the chive+egg bun, the glass noodles made it better. Pork bun was alright, the filling to bread ratio is a bit low but for a quick fresh snack /$3, can't complain. read more

I was actually next door getting a boba when I noticed this place. I love buns, and came in here to get one while I was waiting for my drink order. OMG, their roasted pork bun was AMAZING. The meat was cooked perfectly tender and I love that the breading wasn't to thick. I came back a second time as I saw they had an AYCE porridge bar for $3/pp. For my second visit, I ordered the same roasted pork bun, a tea egg, and the AYCE porridge bar. Friendly reminder that the little side dish bar (next to the porridge bar) is a separate price of just $2.50/pp. I opted for just the porridge and filled up on their pork and thousand-year-old egg porridge. Breakfast for under $10! I'll take it any day! read more

It looks like it just opened about a month ago but omg I'm glad I found this place!! The ambiance is so cute. The floor has frogs every where. The chairs are vibrant and colorful. It looks like there is a self service congee (still have never tried it) lol. And also a side bar? Only $2.50. My waitress was so nice and friendly. She offered water as I waited. So the baos! O M G!! I got the pickled cabbage pork and the chicken with pepper. Both were really flavorful but I can tell you for sure if you want spice, get the chicken one. Spicy but so good. Im definitely coming back. My goal is to try everything at this place ! read more

I will make this review helpful to newcomers to this place. Yes, the congee and soup bar is basically HELP YOURSELF. I didn't know, so the lady brought it over to me. The congee is my favorite, slightly different looking than what I'm use to, but for $3, I will manage . I only wish they offered white pepper!!! The buns are great tasting, soft and good size for the price! The cold item bar is $2.50 and sure it's worth it. read more

Great place to pick up Baos, interior of the restaurant is pretty clean. Next to Rowland Mail Center & Yoshinoya. Already ordered their Baozi back to back for togo so I can take them on my rig cross country. My favorite is the Spicy Szechuan Chicken Bao, along with the braised pork belly Bao. The ground beef and ground pork Bao are so-so And the cashier lady even let me sample their Soy Milk which I highly recommend if you are dining in. The chives leek vermicelli egg bao is a solid also. Overall great place for Bao, recommend this place over the one next to Great Wall Supermarket in the 2nd adjacent plaza. Didn't take any photos because both times I came here were all to go and I was in a hurry to leave town for my outbound loads. read more

Went to King Baozi with some friends on Saturday 6/13. Parking is a little tight, so I recommend going outside of peak hours, but regardless of the time of day, you should make your way to this place! The restaurant is spacious, clean, and well lit. Prices are affordable, portions are big, and the service was great. The lady who took our order was really knowledgeable and helped us figure out what each type of filling was and how their congee/cold dish station worked. I ordered the spicy chicken, beef, and a red braised pork belly. The spicy chicken is probably my new go-to, with the pork belly as a close second. I liked it so much I ordered a bunch of baos and frozen dumplings for the family. They packed the frozen dumplings with an ice bag, which helped shelter it from the Southern CA June heat. I would bring my friends and family the next time I come here! read more

I absolutely adore this bistro! The servers are always super friendly, and you get to enjoy Chinese breakfast style buns/porridge/cold dishes, pretty much All you can eat. The buns are super affordable, and when you order the porridge, you can have unlimited refills and access to all the sides. I wish the owners all the best in their business, this is an awesome place to visit if you want some authentic Chinese style buns that can be made either fully vegetarian or with pork. Inside of the restaurant is very clean, and the vibe just reminds me of a typical Chinese breakfast cafe in mainland China. I love the vibe. I love the food and I always come back when I'm in the area. read more
