I've been thinking about these bao since a month ago! Loved the flavors and it was so fresh!!! I have been craving dumplings and bao and this filled everything I needed! The service was fantastic and the quality was great! It is in an old "sonic" building but don't let that deter you. Easy to drive up and pick up to take home or eat in the lot. read more

A hair on the food. Greasy greasy greasy fried bun. My suspicion was on key because I would not eat from a place that looks like this. However, my husband had a taste for a new joint and the pics of the buns looked great on Yelp so I went. But in person, yeah it's different. Pull in like Sonic 's since it's been renovated from one and take a picture of the QR menu and order. Easy peasy. I paid for it and the server was nice. She warned me that the food was super hot. My husband said they are not worth getting again because there was hardly any meat in them. read more

The protein itself has good flavor and I enjoyed the taste of the filling. The prices are also reasonable, especially considering you can get 20 bao for around $20. My biggest issue is the protein-to-bread ratio. The bao are mostly bread, with very little filling inside. As shown in the picture, the filling doesn't even come close to filling the entire bun. The ratio feels more like 2 parts protein to 5 parts bread, which was disappointing. It gives the impression that you're getting more filling than you actually are, when the filling is really the most important part. Overall, the taste is good and the value isn't bad, but the portion of protein inside each bao left me wanting more. read more

Such a cool place.. they repurposed an old sonic spot. The Baos were really tasty and delicious.

Food was fresh and delicious. The flavor was great, would be better if there was a little more meat but still tasty nonetheless. You order and pay using a QR code at each parking spot. We ordered the steamed mapo tofu bao bao, pork belly lotus leaf bun, pan fried saucy pork bao bao, and the chili sauce which I didn't realize was going to be a whole jar but thats okay because I needed some for my house anyway. Would eat here again for a little snack/lunch. read more

My family and our friend just had THE BEST experience here. It's hard to find good Chinese food here in the San Antonio area and this, coming from a Chinese/Taiwanese American, I can safely say that this is 100% authentic and so delicious. You can preorder on their website and call to pick it up same day or next day. I am so ecstatic that we got a chance to come eat here. My brother who lives in the area has a new go to place! You can't go wrong with any of the options but we tried their 6 piece pork buns, their pork belly sliders, and a green onion pancake and green onion pancake with meat. The staff who greeted us was so kind and thoughtful- had the food super hot and fresh for us and gave us extra plates to share. We wish the most success for Kung fu baobao! read more

So, after yoga on Saturday, I decided that I'm going to start exploring all the various food options available on my way home. That day, I must say that this is much like Zaatar's Lebanese Grill, I will be revisiting this little gem. At the intersection of Fredericksburg Road and Blue Mel, you will find a refurbished Sonic Drive-In now called Kung Fu Baobao. You simply drive up. Use the QR code to order and pay. I have found when a menu has multiple languages it's got to be good. And it was. Delicious. Fresh. The Lotus Leaf Bun with Pork Belly is a must try. They give you samples of their homemade chili sauce for that perfect bite. The Pan Fried Bao with Beef was my mamacita's favorite. read more

I tried a new bao spot and got the cha siu pork and mapo tofu fillings! The cha siu pork was my favorite. The filling was generous and was both sweet and savory. The mapo tofu was a unique filling, but it was a little salty. The bao buns re-steam really well at home, with a damp paper towel in microwave or in the steamer plate of your rice cooker/steamer. Prices were very reasonable. read more

Kung Fu BaoBao - Steamed Saucy pork buns. - Dim Sum Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Renovated a sonic so it's all curbside. No dumplings but has baobao buns and pancakes. I called the number and placed my order and changed it to a 20 count. It's cheaper than a regular food truck and I ordered a 8 ounce jar of chili oil for my home. next time I'm gonna try the pancakes and the lotus bun with the pork belly because those look really good. Highly recommend a 20 count with all four of the flavors that they have of baobao. Savory pork was my nieces favorite and the mapo tofu is my favorite. Make sure to drizzle some chili oil. It is more savory than spicy with all the seeds and peanuts in it. Highly recommend. read more

I arrived just as they closed. I did not expect to be waited on, or get anything at all. I certainly did not expect the beautiful lady to come out & let me order. I was honestly taking a photo of the menu, & was preparing to drive away. But, she said they had a little bit left. I said why not, right?!!! I had been trying to get over for some time. My doctor's appointment went over time. Don't they always. I digress. But, she said they still had the Hair left, & that's what I wanted. So, I ordered the saucy pork, pork, beef, & tofu. It was all around $32 & so worth it. Fed me for three days! Because one box "worth" did not make it home!! I tried the saucy pork right out of the parking lot. Them, proceeded to quickly consume two more. Those were so good. Fresh, hot & delicious. I'm a sucker for good a Bao, well, Kung Fu BaoBao has a loyal new customer. Once I got home I did try one of each of the others for dinner, & saved my favorite for the third day, & honestly it was still good. I reheated as she recommended, I pan fried them. The tofu bao was my absolute favorite. The flavor was so fresh. The beef is more of the typical meatball style, pork was the sliced meat style, the saucy one was a ground pork or sausage style. I liked them all. The beef the least, just personal preference with my texture issues.‍ Tofu will be my go-to bao! Its savory, nice gravy veggies with it. I look forward to returning & working my way through the menu. Incredible service, food & prices! New favorite place!!! read more

Pretty much everything went well; the purchase/pickup experience is a bit more unique than what one would expect, although it was very smooth and easy! You just scan the QR code on the menu, place your order(s) through their web form, and then pay using your phones' "wallet " app. The food is fairly inexpensive and dangerously delicious! Use the recommendations on the menu if you are intimidated or unsure of what to get, as they are nice choices! read more

Drove up to the old sonic stall to try the bao here. You scan the qr code on the menu and order your food on there. There is no speaker or mic at the stall. Someone will come out of the place and bring you your food. The service wait was fine about 20 minutes but the food was fresh and really pretty tasty. My favorite was the saucy pork bao and tofu. The beef and pork bao could have used more filling. read more

The place is located inside an old sonic restaurant. They offer a menu that you can scan with the QR code or call to place an order. First time my order took a while. But soon after I just figured I order ahead just so I can pickup and go. When I do that my buns are still warm and tasty to eat. read more

Kung Fu BaoBao - Saucy buns - Dim Sum Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Delicious! Really liked the savory pancakes with egg or pork. The baos are pretty good too. Would love to come try the different style of buns. Relatively quick and pretty convenient as well read more

I have tried all 4 flavors of steam bao buns. They are all good but saucy pork is my favorite. The bao bun is not very big. It is a little less than 3" in diameter and about 1" in height. The inside is not stuffed. The wrapper is very fluffy and soft. I recommend you purchase the 20 pieces Bao Box. That is the best value. You can freeze them and they reheat very well. I put it in the microwave for around 25 seconds. The order process is very simple and easy. They pack and label them separately. read more

Really enjoyed this place. It's a unique pickup as it seemed like it's where a Sonic used to be. But I really enjoyed the flavor, appreciated the complimentary side of chili oil, and kind customer service. Also, maybe get extra because I only got a little bit of them and they barely made it home read more

I found this place on google map by mistake and decided to go check it out. It appears to be a Sonic converted into a Chinese style restaurant. Yes please! I called the number to see how it works. A very sweet lady answered and explained to me that I can order with her and when it is ready she will bring it out. I ordered the baos to go... anyways they do not have a sit down place. Around 10 minutes later she came out with the order with the friendliest smile! I drove off eating them in the car and burning myself... it was delicious! Absolutely delicious! I will definitely be back to try more things off the menu read more

Best baos, I've had in San Antonio so far! I tried their recommendation of the steamed pork baos and the pan-fried saucy pork baos. Both are great and delicious and sooo fresh! It tooked about 20 minutes for the order to come to my door but it was definitely worth the wait with how fresh they were. Lotus bun with pork belly and their Chinese Savory pancakes were delicious as well. I will definitely be coming back and picking up their combo baos to share at work. read more

The buns are soooo good. I've tried beef, pork and mapo tofu. The pancakes with pork are tasty also!

Authentic flavors - tastes exactly how I remember it in China! The buns are soft and the filling is flavorful. This place is top of mind whenever I want to eat out. I'm so addicted to this gem. The staff is very friendly as well. read more

This spot is using an old sonic for serving so no inside. No you can't go inside you park at a stall and call a number to order and they bring it. I ordered the spicy pork buns steamed and pan fried. The actual bun was a good size but the meat ratio was really REALLY low. It was literally the size of my thumb. Could've been just mines that day. The taste was nothing, less than bland. My order had so much oil I felt at risk of invasion. Maybe the other ones are good I'm not sure. But I'm not sure I'll go back. The workers was very nice so that why it got 2 stars read more

The service was fast and friendly. The concept in my opinion is lucrative and the bao is fantastic. Flavor and textures are on point, but I can't give it a 5 star just because of the amount of protein in the bao buns. Wish they were more filled, I'd be willing to pay a higher price if it meant more filling. But overall great. read more

I'm going to try to be fair with this review. It wasn't "bad", but it wasn't something I liked. The Baobao was mostly dumpling with about a teaspoon of meat in the middle. Couldn't really get a "perfect bite" except when you ate all of the filling in one bite and then left with all dumpling. Actually had the meat nugget fall out of one it was so small. The place seemed abandon, but we thought what the heck "give it a try". No one came out, we ordered in the car on the phone with a QR code, no one was around, we did get a text acknowledging the order. Guess I'm old fashioned and like to see a face and at least an acknowledgement. 20 minutes later a nice lady popped out and gave us our food. I almost drove off without paying, and had to go and knock on the door and ask them if they wanted for us to pay for the food. Like I said ... wasn't "bad" but not our thing. read more

Very delicious Chinese Savory Pancakes and Lotus Bun Porkbelly. Reasonably priced Chinese dumplings. Will definitely go back for more when in San Antonio. A very successful trial run today. Sadly no dine in. read more

Must stop for authentic baos. Don't let the old Sonic place with boarded up windows and lack of cars in parking area scare you. They are OPEN and serve some delicious baos. Being native Taiwanese, I can vouch for authentic flavors. I ordered pork steamed baos and pork belly in lotus leaf baos. The place looked closed but there's an open sign lit and one car in parking area otherwise it looks closed. I'm so glad I decided to take a chance. You place order w/QR. wait was about 20 minutes. I had to call them to make sure they were open since again there's no window to see if anyone is inside. So worth the wait. The baos were hot and fresh, so soft. Pork belly was tender and perfectly braised and the steamed buns also had perfect bao pork filler. Came with 2 chili oils. Price is super reasonable. Will definitely return for more items. Please come support this authentic bao place. It's one of a kind and San Antonio can use more authentic Asian places like this. read more

Tried it this afternoon for lunch and it was so so good. I got the steamed pork bao and the savory pancake. Both were warm and yummy. The pork inside the bao was full of flavor without tasting too meaty. Can't wait to try more of their dishes! read more

I ordered the pork boa expecting char siu But it was almost like it was a soup dumpling inside of a bao. A small meatball and kind of juicy broth coming out of it. It wasn't bad it just wasn't what I expected and I'm not sure if I received what I ordered. Because when I look at the pork boa on the website it seems to have black seeds on top. Wasn't what I had my mouth set up for and I felt like the dough to meet ratio was off. I would probably go back and try the pork belly. The other thing about this place is that it's so unattractive. It's a drive-in and you go and order from a QR code at a drive-in parking space. That was fine, you pay online and someone comes out with your order. That being said, it's painted a dark gray has very little color, very little signage, the menus are blank on the side where you're driving in. That would be a great spot to add some cute graphics. It's very uninviting in its decor and I understand that they're probably on a budget but they could have used brighter colors. Maybe print something out to put on the back side of the menus like a dancing boa or something?. I know these things don't seem like much, especially when you're starting out, but you really have to have a critical eye when you open a business and look at what the customer sees when they pull in. I hope it works out for them, I like to be able to go someplace and get something to eat without having to have a full-on mail and spend $30. So I will definitely go back for a snack here and there. It's just kind of sad and depressing looking. read more

I usually don't leave reviews but my experience here wasn't the best. The service was very good, the lady I spoke with over the phone and who I think also gave me my food was very helpful and sweet so props there. But other than that the food was very disappointing. I had low expectations but the portions for the beef baobao were unacceptable, there was one small little meatball worth of beef in there even though the dumplings were pretty big in size. The same goes for the pork, there just was not enough in there and frankly the dough is not flavorful enough to make up for the lack in meat. it was honestly just depressing, I got 12 of them in total and was still left pretty hungry as I had no interest eating the rest of the dumpling with no meat inside of it. I'd honestly rather they be smaller and more consistent with the amount of meat rather than a huge dumpling with one little meatball. overall very disappointing. read more
