Mr Bao - Wonton soup.... Wheres the soup? 30 bucks for two orders? They ran out of broth? Inexcusable.... - Shanghainese Near Me - New York, New York

A simple and casual spot for some Asian food in Williamsburg. We had a couple items to share with the Spicy Sesame Dandan Noodles, Spicy Wontons, Garlic Cucumber Salad, and Popcorn Chicken with Fries. There's a good variety of dishes to choose from with dumplings and noodles. Everything was pretty standard here --nothing amazing, nothing bad. read more

Well... what an unexpected GEM! I was craving some sautéed string beans, and just happen to give this a chance order for delivery. I have to say this meal was mighty tasty! I prefer to go in person for restaurants like this, but it wasn't bad for delivery. The order came very quickly. The packaging was lovely, I do wish it came with the soup spoon for the soup dumplings, but thankfully, I had one in house. Some of the dumplings were filled with very little soup, but I've had that happen quite often with chicken soup dumplings. The fat to meat ratio before steaming can sometimes be very little, leaving them empty after steaming. But still delicious nonetheless! The highlights for me were the sweet soy noodles and the green beans. Both very simple dishes, but are usually not that great of a delivery option. It is very hard to find chow mein noodles pan fried and not flash fried in the city, and it's one of my favorite dishes. When you order chow-mein, from an American style Chinese restaurant, it's usually fried noodles covered in some meat and vegetable sauce. But I was an absolute heaven when I tasted these Cantonese style noodles. It reminded me of some of my favorite restaurants when I moved to New York many moons ago! I will most definitely be ordering that again. The green beans were tender and saucy, but I would've loved for them to have a little more salt and I wished that they had the cornstarch slurry that gives them a little crunch. However, they were well cooked and I would order them again. I'm so glad I took a risk and tried somewhere new. This will be one of my new favorites for quite a while! read more

Unfortunately gone, and replaced with some awful, overpriced dump. Bedford Ave truly lost one of the greats with Mr. Bao's departure. "Gyoza shop" or whatever the f*** they call it is awful. Overpriced deep fried slop for douchebags who pay too much to live in one of the most expensive parts of the city. I will give this business 5-6 months of operation before giving way to another business with no substance and steep prices. They also have no liquor license or happy-hour specials, which was a HUGE draw for Mr. Bao. I wish this business nothing but the worst. If you want something to NOT order, it would be the stale and nasty "Rock shrimp" for $10. Absolute CRAP! read more

We saw the good ratings for Mr Bao and headed over here but were heavily disappointed. The service itself was good and the plastic cutlery didn't really bother us. However, the food itself left a lot to be desired. Char Siu Steamed Buns: 7/10 filling was great but not a lot of it in each bun Pork Belly Baos: 4/10 the pork was very well cooked but the baos and meat had no actual flavor Spicy wontons: 8/10 they were good but not amazing Galbi Pancake Wrap: 1/10 I didn't even eat this, the beef was so chewy and overcooked and the wrap itself had a weird flavor. I was disappointed by my experience but it might have been my lack of knowledge of Taiwanese food. read more

TL:DR: Come here whenever you're craving casual Asian food. It's honestly my go-to spot and I've typically loved anything I get. Usually Dan Dan noodles, popcorn chicken, and lotus root are my go-tos. Service: always nice and quick Ambiance: causal and chill read more

Classic taiwanese snacks & dim sum served in a fun and casual environment; kind of reminded me of my favorite boba shops growing up with elevated food haha Ordered the Dan Dan noodles, popcorn chicken, & sticky rice. Everything was good! Sticky rice had an egg yolk, pork, and chinese sausage inside. Wouldn't order the popcorn chicken next time. Was really suprised at how affordable this place is. We're so used to seeing $15-20 plates, but most items on the menu are under $10. Staff was very sweet and welcoming. 4.5/5 read more

I was in the neighborhood and looking to pick up dinner to take home to my mom. This cuisine is definitely up her alley so I gave it a shot. I got an order of shrimp dumplings, roast pork bun, 48 hour galbi beef and sesame balls. The dumplings and roast pork buns were good, pretty much standard and the beef was delicious but the side that I chose for her was listed on the menu as garlic cucumber salad. That, she said, had her mouth on fire. There was no mention of it being spicy and when I tried it later, it was hot to me and I rarely find things spicy. They really need to clarify this as it caused her to not enjoy the meal. Even with that incident I gave it four stars because the food was good and so are the portions in price. Service was also very kind. read more

Ordered the spicy chicken ramen for the 2 for 1. It's okay barely that. The noodles are definitely store bought or packaged. They remind me top ramen & I do not appreciate that when it comes to paying for ramen? read more

This is the best authentic Chinese / Taiwanese take-out ish type place in Brooklyn. Without going to Flushing you can't do better. It's a bit oily but the spice is spot on. It's 99% better than any old school takeout. Prices are reasonable too. What sets it apart from the other more authentic flavor places in Sunset Park or Chinatown is it's approachability for westerners and particularly vegetarians. They use compostable dishes too. The only negative thing is they have a history of low health grades - their sibling establishment in Park Slope still has a C and the one in the East Village is mysteriously entirely missing a sign and cannot be found in the Health Grades database. I dunno what's up but the one on Bedford now has an A. Kudos to the team, because health should come first. I would hate to have give up these dumplings noodles and tofu! read more

Do you know what bao stands for? Bun... no not sticky bun, or honey bun. Bun as in a fluffy slice of heaven mixed with pork. Right...that kind of bun. I love spending my day off in Williamsburg trying new restaurants and I was in the mood for Asian cuisine. I asked the Yelp gifs to find a new restaurant on Bedford and Mr. Bao popped up. My second good wish was to dine on Dan Dan noodles, as always, the craving is high. Thus, when I saw my fave dish on their menu it sealed the deal. Thus ad I write this review, my noodles were served. The bowl of beautiful Sichuan style noodles with minced pork and scallions First twirl...insanely delicious and just the right spice. I couldn't stop my chopsticks from twirling and swirling. Mr, Bao, aside from buns, offers hand made dumplings, pan fried chicken, pork and chives, different options for fried chicken wings and soup dumplings. The atmosphere is quiet but the music spinning had me dancing and twirling at the same time. The service is friendly and courteous. The traditional Chinese bowls adorning the wall and ceiling were quite beautiful. Xie Xie Mr. Bao and Wo hui hailai de. ( I'll be back) read more

I've recently ordered twice from here since my initial purchase and I think they definitely improved. I haven't ordered everything I had previously yet, but so far so good. I really like the spicy dumplings but be warned they pack a worthy punch. I dont live close anymore so I'm trying them out when I have the chance and am hankering for quick bites. Some dumplings are still meh while other really shine (crab&pork). Overall the key is smaller orders and picking up. Delivery will definitely get you warm or cold food no matter how close. read more

Not good, not bad. Decent and gets the job done. Price is reasonable but you can definitely tell the food is not very fresh. read more

For vegetarians, this place has nothing to offer. There are a couple of vegetarian dishes, but they are not clearly labeled - at least, not all of them. We ordered the mushroom buns because they were labeled vegetarian, and they were cute and tasty - but they were still frozen in the center, which kind of spoiled the illusion of their being handmade. I also didn't like that the dishes were disposable paper bowls, or that the music was so loud. The servers were friendly, though. read more

Ordered takeout: Sweet and sour chicken was good + crispy, but not enough sauce. Big portion Roast pork bun - too much dough / breading and too little filling. Peeled off a whole layer of bread and then felt the ratio was good Chicken soup dumplings- good, nothing crazy to write home about Good middle of the road spot but wouldn't try again read more

I never leave food behind, ever! But the cucumbers were so old and wrinkly! The duck wrap was tasty, but the old cucumbers made me question the freshness of everything. Would not go back. read more

I am very sad to even write this, as I been ordering from here for two years now. The food is pretty good and a staple for me as a student, but the delivery staff today absolutely yelled in my face for 5 minutes today. As its staff from the store, I ALWAYS usually add tip, but something happens where it wasn't included. He was demanding cash, "go get cash" waving his hands in my face and straight up yelling. I could alter the tip online, which I tried to explain but he didn't want to listen. I order multiple times a month so was a shock to have a terrible experience like that. read more

I stepped into Mr Bao while out and around Williamsburg. Inside is an adorable shop with a great menu of chinese specialities food. I ordered the spicy dan dan noodles and the dumpling sample platter. The dan dan noodles consisted of noodles served in a spicy sauce made with chili oil, Sichuan peppercorns, minced pork, and scallions. It's a delicious and flavorful dish that packs a punch of heat and flavor. The noodles themselves were fresh and springy, providing a nice contrast to the spicy sauce. The dumple sample included a variety of steamed buns, with different fillings and cute designs. They were all shaped and painted with fun and cute animals and colors - playful for everyone! The buns themselves are soft and fluffy, and the fillings were all varied and delicious. Overall, both the dandan noodles and buns are delicious and enjoyable dishes that are well worth trying if you're a fan of Chinese cuisine. Whether you're in the mood for something spicy or sweet, these dishes are sure to satisfy your cravings. Definitely planning on coming back again soon. read more

Dropped by here for lunch. It was pretty empty though I could tell they were getting lots of pickup orders. You can order takeout at the counter or sit down to eat. I sat down and ordered the Beijing Street Noodles. The portion was honestly pretty big - lots of noodles, minced pork, and shredded cucumbers. Didn't notice the black bean sauce but overall pretty good. Overall, pretty straightforward place with nice portions and good prices for Williamsburg ($12 for this). Would definitely recommend and try the rest of their menu. read more

Mr. Bao was perfect! We stopped inside and got the Pork belly Guabao, spicy chicken dumplings, spicy wontons, and broccoli garlic. It was all really great but our favorite was the Pork belly Guabao and the broccoli garlic. Great service, very attentive: We also tried the sticky mango rice, which was fine, nothing spectacular. Overall, I really enjoy the place and would come back! read more

I've ordered from Mr. Bao several times, very solid spot! I really enjoy the soup dumplings, they arrive hot and intact. They have great flavor too. I I've tried and enjoyed the pan fried pirk dumplings too, nice and crispy on the bottom. Their Char Shao Bao is great as well, pillowy soft and comes it a nifty container for transport so they aren't squished and don't stick together. Only thing I didn't care for was their fried rice. It was a massive portion, but lacked any flavor whatsoever unfortunately. Will definitely continue to order from this spot! read more

Ordered takeout! Delivery was quick and food was delicious. Highly recommended getting the Dan Dan noodles (not that spicy/peanut flavor comes through well) and a rice dish to balance the sauce from the noodles. read more

Mr Bao - Spicy Sesame DanDan Noodles 48 Hours Braised Galbi Beef - Shanghainese Near Me - New York, New York

I had ordered in from another location and had been impressed so I was excited to try it in person. It was a Monday a few minutes after 8 and we were seated immediately. Super casual space. Service was friendly and relatively rapid. We ordered the duck bao, chicken and cabbage dumplings, Beijing street noodle and stir fried string beans. We were so hungry that I didn't get pics of it all. I loved the dumplings and string beans. The string beans work perfectly cooked not to constantly trying to treat not too crazy. I didn't love the noodles because I felt the pork to noodle ratio was way off. It's probably based on a street food that was largely noodle with only a spoonful of pork. It felt plain so we asked for some plum sauce and that helped. The duck bao were delicious but tiny. Al In all still a deal at $22 per person for 1 entree and 3 apps. It's more fun to pick here! read more
