Mr Bao - Steamed Vegetable Dumpling Pan Fried Shrimp Soup Dumpling - Shanghainese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Delivery only: Literally so good. You have to do yourself the favor and order from here or even better, go in person! I was so hungry so I decided to get the braised beef rice bowl, popcorn shrimp and the chef mix of dumplings. Everything came carefully packaged and was still hot when it arrived. I must say the dumplings were my favorite part and wish I got more! The other two dishes are not to be forgotten as they were delicious as well. The braised beef is so flavorful and tender. Even better is that the portions are huge so I was able to have leftovers for the next day! read more

During my NYC staycation in the East Village, my husband and I took a walk and stumbled on Mr. Bao. We sat indoors as they had tables available, service was very quick and efficient. Out temperatures were checked before having a seat. The restaurant is very clean and take precautions seriously. We enjoyed the Shanghai noodles and the pork soup dumplings. Very moist and flavorful.. I enjoyed the meal. read more

Went to this place for a quick lunch this week! I ordered the pork and chive pan-fried dumplings and duck wrap. The dumplings were good and the vinegar soy sauce was delicious. The duck wrap was very small, more of an egg roll size than a beef roll size I was expecting, and was $9. All very very oily but the wrap especially was very oily. Overall, the food was okay and a bit pricey. read more

Food never showed up despite talking to them on the phone five times and each time they said they food was enroute and would arrive in ten minutes. Waited over two hours and it never showed up. Would not order from here if you actually want food delivered. read more

Lady at the counter on Sunday 12:30pm 9/24 was rude. Gave me the stink eye the second I went for my to go order as if I was a bother. When I got my order she practically dropped the bag on the table couldn't wait to look away. Sorry if me coming in to place a takeout order offended you Bathrooms should also be provided for the dine in folks per the other reviews. There was a sign there saying that the bathrooms are for employees only. I've been coming here since they opened. This place is going downhill. The food quality has gone down. It's not worth it for the high prices. There is no need for me to return. read more

Mr. Bao intentionally uses their own delivery drivers instead of Uber Eats. To all business owners out there, this experience is the reason why you want to consider using people who actually know what they're doing for your logistics. We ordered at 7:40pm and given a window of 8:20 to 8:40pm. At 8:45pm, no sign of food so we called and were told that it was out for delivery, which is fine, things happen. At 9:05pm we called, looking for the food, and were told it would be here in 10 minutes (the store is only a 10m bike ride from us). The person giving the status update was in the store with them (we overheard their conversation) which of course means it wasn't out for delivery at all. At 9:30, still no food in sight, we called again, and were told that they gave it to another delivery driver and would call us when they had an ETA. Then, just now at 9:48pm they called us and asked us to confirm that we cancelled our order, which of course we hadn't. Then the delivery guy asked us "if I show up will you come down and get the food" to which we were first puzzled, but then after arguing with the guy about how intercoms in NYC work, we said, just call this number when you get here and we'll come down. I wish I could tell you how the food actually is, but it is now 9:56pm and we're still waiting for it. Update: 10:04pm, Food finally arrives. Cold, congealed noodles, fried popcorn shrimp is soggy. Need to recook everything because its clearly been sitting out for the last 2 hours. Wish they had been honest with us about the status, because we would have made alternate arrangements, but they kept telling us it would be there soon. read more

Tried to order delivery 3 hours later, no food. They refused to refund our order. 'nuff said. read more

I was so so stoked to try this new soup dumpling place out, but unfortunately, it just didn't live up to what I was expecting. So let me start by saying that I get new restaurants go through growing pains. I really do. That said, when you first open and you get your first wave, you have to (like really really really have to be prepped for it). We stopped by at 8:30 and they said they couldn't take our order. And to try again later. Not a great start. We ended up giving up and trying again the next day (excitement for soup dumplings growing). Then we finally got to try the food, and....eh. soup dumplings were so frigging thick. Just didn't do it for me. The fried dumplings were markedly better, but that's only by comparison to the soup dumplings. There are better ones to be had in the city, thought admittedly none as close to this part of town. The beef rice bowl also left a lot to be desired in my book. The beef was tough and salty, but the side string beans were pretty on point. All in all, place is just ok. Maybe they'll work out the growing pains in a few weeks (will absolutely give them another shot soon). read more

Excellent dumplings and rice bowls - casual setting but really fresh food and there's a lot of variety of things to chose from. Will be back to try the rest of the menu! read more

I love their soup dumplings. I am so glad I found a place in Park Slope that sells good dumplings. I finally don't have to go all the way to Flushing to enjoy some quality Asian good. The red bean paste ball is very good too. read more

Very great addition to the neighborhood! Soup dumplings are hard to come by, and these are a great choice if you can't make it to Chinatown. Best meal by far are the bowls, the amount of meat was easily shareable/two meals, and the green beans were a standout! (I hope it's not just opening excitement portions). I'll for sure be going back. Support local! read more

Beef is my favorite! Boiled pork chive dumpling is to die for and popcorn chicken is very different from other place . It 's fresh and plenty of vegan for vegetarian ! Give them a try if you are around this spot ! read more

So frickin goooooood dude. Get the pork soup dumplings, something about the soup flavor plus the dipping sauce makes fireworks go off in my brain. It's one of those foods that my mouth starts watering just thinking of the memory read more

Their dumplings were GREAT! Spring rolls were on point. Had their pork belly bowl and their 48hr braised beef bowl. Pork belly was excellent!! and the soft boiled egg was aesthetically pleasing and the perfect consistency. But their 48hr braised beef bowl leaves a lot of room for improvement. I felt like they used the wrong part of the beef to braise, maybe a part with more tendon or fat would be better, otherwise, too lean part of the beef braised for too long comes out really dry and tough. The side of cabbage that came with it was also lacking in flavor and texture. It seems like they may have boiled the cabbage instead of sauteed it, no garlic flavor, no salt, just.. boiled it. Also a little bit of braised sauce over the rice wouldn't hurt. I love my local restaurants, they are doing a lot of things right! I mean this as constructive feedback, not trying to be unkind. read more

Updateeeee... This spot continues to be so solid and deserves alllll the business. Tried their popcorn shrimp, chicken pocket sandwich and fried ManTou.... ugh it's all so good. Popcorn shrimp is not spicy so if you're spice averse you'll be fine. It's def full of flavor though. The chicken pocket is sooo good. Comes with two "halves" of something pita like, filled with popcorn chicken, spicy aioli, cucumber, and onion. The fried ManTou are like little fried donut bites, but a little more sponge cake like in texture. And with the condensed milk? Heaven. Only rec is I wished they'd give a bigger side of it, the sauce container was only like 1/4 filled for 6 "donuts" but if you need dessert with every meal like I do a definite order. Love you Mr. Bao! read more

The dumplings are fantastic! Great soup dumplings and fried buns. Great addition to the area, and the prices are good, will try again soon! read more

Given the current circumstances, I'm surprised (and happy) that Mr. Bao could open! I love soup dumplings and though these (pork steamed) were tasty, they were a bit cold and the dumpling dough itself was pretty dense. The bowl is good value and quality for the price. While we were waiting for our food during lunch, there seemed to be a steady stream of people ordering/picking up, which is promising. Overall would return but definitely focus on the dumplings! read more

This spot is small but has backyard seating. The dumplings came with a sauce that has a vinegar taste but it's delicious and compliments the meat inside. The bowls are perfect portions, they look like a lot of food but it fills you up to be comfortably full without having to let your pants out. We ordered takeout/pick up (because COVID) and within 15-20 min from calling the food was ready for us. This is definitely a place if you love soup dumplings or dumplings in general. read more

The service here is unsatisfactory. After having experienced the Williamsburg location I am both disappointed and frustrated. The girl at the front counter doesn't have great customer service skills, and charged add ons for every single thing- different from the other location. In addition to not having drink options their bathroom was "for employees only". How is it you allow dine in but don't have a bathroom. Definitely make your way to the Williamsburg location (where they offer water for dine in) and skip Mr. Bao on fifth read more

Food's great. Great tasting dumplings, juicy, and fresh, with a variety of options. Great quality dumplings. Order for pick up was easily available. read more

Terrible delivery service. No dumplings could be good enough to warrant food taking nearly 2 hours to arrive and this place is 10 minutes bike ride from my house read more

Honestly funny how the reviews all say it takes them 2 hours to deliver the food... because it's really true, it literally took 2 hours. Why are they so incompetent? Just let Uber deliver the food for crying out loud. Foods great, but not good when I have to eat soggy dumplings that have been sitting in their packaging for 2 hours. Honestly, if you want to try it, go for it, but do yourself the favor and pick it up, read more

Whatever you do don't get delivery from them. They are extremely inconsistent. They skimp randomly on portions. I got the duck for 3 dollars extra, and they send me nothing but skin and bones. Be careful and when reaching out to let them know, they simply tell you "every duck is different" what a joke of a staff. read more

It was my first time ever trying soup dumplings, and I saw this place had 5 stars so needless to say, I am HOOKED!

The only thing from my order that was worth rating 5* was the chicken wings. We ordered the blue crab & pork soup dumpling, the chef's mixed platter, also got 2 of the rice bowls - the pork and the beef. The pork belly was better than the beef for sure. The mushrooms are seasoned weird or maybe just taste weird. The soup dumplings and the other dumplings from the chefs platter were just bland. Everything else was ok, compared to the rest of the raving reviews maybe I just didn't order correctly. read more

One of the best authentic soup dumpling place in park slope. Been here few times since they've opened and really enjoyed my dumplings every time! Knowing I don't have to go far to get my soup dumpling fix is awesome! support your local business! And their popcorn chicken is a must try too. read more

Holy smokes!!! These dumplings are seriously legit. The spicy noodles were present, but not good or bad. The sweet soy noodles were very good. The boiled and pan fried dumplings were well.balanced and, literally, bursting with flavor. read more

Ordered a bunch of stuff. What shines are the popcorn chicken, dumplings and baos. Not surprising. The soup dumplings are flavorful. The wrapping is on the thicker side. Some love that. Some don't. The soy sauce with vinegar had a nice bite with bits of ginger as expected. They provided excellent packaging which is a huge plus for the soup dumplings. Thank you for the high quality disposable dishes and utensils that even include a soup spoon! The only dish I was disappointed with was the braised kalbi beef. While the marinade tasted right, the cut of the beef is wrong. They used cheaper beef stew cuts which is problematic if you're going to call a dish kalbi. Kalbi must use short ribs. It's supposed to be rich and fatty. Full stop. For 13 dollars, I should have known better. Short ribs are expensive and there's no way you can buy true kalbi for that cheap. Otherwise, the egg was boiled for me which is a little odd as Koreans only do that for cold noodle dishes like naengmyun but I guess this is a fusion shop. I think the rest of the menu is probably pretty solid. Just avoid the kalbi dish if you are expecting something leaning towards the authentic side. read more

Great store. The steamed blue crab and pork soup dumpling is definitely a bomb, it tasted SO delicious! It's very worth to try.
