I was greeted by the staff when I walked in and the person who took my order was friendly. The food is delicious. I had the KFC Bao and pork dumplings. I love that there is an option for Bao or a bowl or salad and the dumplings are magic! The seasoning is delicious and the dipping sauce has a little kick! SO GOOD I drove from N phoenix just to try this place and I will do it again! read more

Ni Hao Bao Dumpling House - KFC Bao - Chinese Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

I should've read the reviews before I went in here. Honestly it seems like anytime you find a place that only has three or 3 1/2 stars it's just not worth it. My personal experience was I ordered the steamed dumplings and also the pan fried. First off the steamed dumplings were much smaller than what I'm used to getting anywhere else. Also the noodle texture was a mixture of just barely lukewarm and also a little bit tough and rubbery. A.k.a. I'm gonna have to say not fresh. The pan sautéed was same issue - it just didn't seem fresh to me. Also the mixture of ingredients on the inside just didn't have that fresh, flavor-popping taste that you would expect from a "dumpling house." Have you ever been to Chinatown in Vegas? This is nowhere near that quality. Also you can kind of tell by the low end condiment section. A good noodle/bao/dumpling house is gonna have soy sauce and vinegar on the table. This place had them in little packets like you were standing in line at the airport. Honestly that's what the whole experience reminded me of being in an airport. read more

Great service but the food was average. Need to jazz up the flavor because there are so many restaurants nearby that will over powered this place Everything was great from the service and ambience except the food. The food presentation actually was beautiful but still need the flavors. read more

Great parking is available very close to Ni Hao Bao Dumpling House. I came on Labor Day and it was not busy at 3pm. They greeted me warmly when I came in and helped me pick out something for my first time in. The staff was very patient and helpful with me. I wanted dumplings so I ordered teriyaki chicken but found out it was a rice chicken bowel and had to look at the board on the right to order dumplings Now I know. It is really beautiful inside with the hanging lanterns. They also have outdoor seating. The dumplings taste really great. It's a great healthy meal. read more

I walked in 5 mins before 5 pm without knowing that they are opened at 5. They are nice and let me wait inside. I was able to have time to decide what to order. This is the hardest decision of the day. The steamed sui mai dumplings are delicious. They are on the dry side if you are used to the juicy ones like me, but I don't mind. The steamed shrimp toast dumplings are very tasty. The miso butter sauce is not my thing so I dipped them in my ponzu sauce. Pork wonton soup has a very salty broth. I could not taste shiitake mushroom, napa cabbage, and the wontons at all. Bulgogi steak on the steam buns are juicy delicious. read more

Handmade dumplings, bao & bowls tucked in a small strip mall. Casual spot in Scottsdale. It is obviously made to order as it took some time. Order at the counter, pick your table & your food is brought to you. I enjoyed the sui mai dumplings, pork and shrimp mixed with finely diced carrots and shiitake served with a miso butter sauce. I loved the sauce! Nicely steamed so it was soft and the right seasonings. Crispy pork belly, crunchy on the outside, oh so tender on the inside, laced with hoison sauce , served with white rice & edamame on the side. Cashier and servers were very friendly. It got very busy really quick. I will definitely come back to try their other dumplings. read more

We came early on a Friday as we had heard there could be big crowds and long waits. There were neither so we ordered and sat outside with the big fireball setting behind the hospital burning our eyes! If they could put up some type of light screen it would really help. We shared some spicy pork dumplings and chicken xiao long bao. For both they were undercooked with chewy dough and not hot enough. The spicy ones had more flavor due to the spicy sauce btu the xiao long bao were way too dry, not as flavorful and the top pleated section was very doughy and undercooked. For a place with dumpling in their name you would think they would get that right. The bowls were better. The Korean Fried Chicken was crispy, moist and flavorful. A bit too much rice for the amount of chicken and sauce but all in all a pleasant dish. The Mongolian Beef was nothing like it should have been, First of all the meat was weird slices of beef - nothing thin, not stir fried, almost dry and then to insult to that injury the sauce on top was the exact same sweet Korean sauce that was on the Korean Fried Chicken. Totally wrong and I would never order that again. Get your culinary act together on that! One of us ordered the Mongolian Beef with crispy bao buns. They are basically fried and ok but the idea of a nice bao is that it is light, fluffy and a contrast to the flavorful filling. By frying them you get too much going on in my opinion. They need to work on the authenticity of their dishes and execution on the dumplings given their name! We will give them one more chance and we will ask for the dumplings to be served hot and steamed longer. read more

This is not a full service restaurant so you have to wait in line to get your order in and wait for the food to be delivered to your table. We ordered the following: 1. Chicken Soup Dumplings: rather sweet and the skin is rather thick. 2. Spicy Dumplings: thinner skin for the dumplings and the sauce is pretty much the same for all the other dumplings 3. Pan Fried Pork Dumplings: our fave out of the bunch. 4. Fire Cracker Shrimp Bao: the shrimp was fried well - crispy and not too oily. Not too crazy for the aoli sauce. Bao is good. read more

We came in on a weekday during lunch time, and it was super busy. This is more of a casual place, you place your order at the counter, and they give you a number plaque, you go find a table to sit at and they deliver your food to your table once its ready. After looking over the menu, we ordered the chicken soup dumplings, pork dumplings, and the shrimp toast dumplings. The chicken soup dumplings and the pork dumplings were a bit salty. Unfortunately, both of these dumplings were inconsistent. One piece would be warm and then the next piece would be cold. The shrimp toast dumpling was the best item we had during our meal, but it wasn't anything special. Overall, service was aloof and disorganized. Each entrée took a while to come out, and they were out of a few items we were interested in trying. Lots of kinks they need to work out. read more

Ni Hao Bao Dumpling House Granted we did take out so not expected to have same freshness straight from the kitchen Mongolian Steak with white rice and edamame was the most fresh entree coming from take out, good flavor with beef piled over a good quantity of rice Hong Kong Spicy Wontons looked angry hot and spicy, had a little kick, but not the heat that they looked like Shanghai Chicken Soup Dumplings were very dry and hard, I have to say these were a take out dish. Maybe if we ate at the restaurant, hopefully they would be better Asian BBQ Pork Belly Steamed Bao Bun with mixed fruit was our favorite entree, steamed bao bun was cooked well, the asian bbq pork belly was very tasty along with the cucumbers and magic sauce. Highly recommend Pork Dumplings Pan Fried were okay, probably a little better of the dishes we ordeed Hong Kong Wonton Soup had wontons/Potstickers in a soup base sprinkled with some mushrooms and another. To call this Hong Kong Style is no where near what my expectations were, very disappointing. I understand we did take out, so not kitchen fresh, but this Chinese style food is definitely not traditional Cantonese or Mandarin Style prepared, but American Chinese Style Would I come back, maybe to try some other entrées read more

I've already been to Ni Hao Bao FIVE times and it's technically not even open yet. I'm en route for sixth visit, which should tell you everything you need to know. I've only ordered dumplings because there is no reason to branch out when they are that good. They're all handmade! The shu mai and pork dumplings are my favorites, packed with flavor and paired with a complimentary sauce that I usually like to add extra chili oil to. I have also tried the Thai tea with boba and it hits the spot. Parking is easy, prices and portions are fair, service is great, and the interior is welcoming - I love the little booths and love that they have a dog-friendly patio. This has very quickly become a regular stop for me. The staff is excellent. I spoke with Darrell, the chef and co-owner, and his excitement and pride in the food and the neighborhood are obvious and contagious. Every other staff member we have interacted with has been friendly, welcoming, and on point. Great food backed by great people. Definitely check this place out! Their grand opening is this Friday 1/16 and you can guarantee I'll be there ordering another serving of dumplings :) read more

Enjoyed the experience here. You get a lot of food in each meal. For the adults it's 3 bao buns plus a side which is more than enough with their size. Kids had 2 bao buns. Each of those are stuffed with a lot of meat. Everyone was very friendly - and all the food tasted great. This is more set up for groups of 2 or 4 - only one table can accommodate more. But for our family of 4 it was great. The churro bao bun for desert was a big hit as well! Overall a good experience and we'll likely be back! read more

Wow. Can't believe this place is only 3.5 stars - it was absolutely DELICIOUS!! We got the pork dumplings, the Sui Mai, and then went BACK for Shrimp Toast dumplings. The man at the front was super helpful as I had no idea what to order. Everyone was so friendly and nice! The inside was cute and had lots of seating. Loved the entire vibe. Try this place for yourself before you judge the reviews! Five stars and definitely coming back!! read more

This place was amazing! Loved the whole experience from the food to the ambience. You order at the counter and they give you a number and bring the food to you. Highly recommend the Korean Fried Chicken (KFC) with steamed buns, and the Sui Mai Dumplings. The buns come in 3 and it's a lot of food for a reasonable price. The Sui Mai Dumplings are sooo good especially with the miso butter sauce. The dumplings skin have just the right amount of al dente and chewiness. The wait was not long, no line to order for dinner and we got our food pretty quick. The whole decor and look of the restaurant was unique. Will definitely be back! read more

I wasn't sure what to expect going to Ni Hao Bao but I'm 100% coming back when I'm in the area. It's an order-at-the-counter type place and it feels very open with lots of windows and plenty of seating mostly outside. When you order you get a number and they bring the food to your table, it was so busy we jumped in line right away. We had the Hong Kong spicy wontons, Shu Mai dumplings, and shrimp toast dumplings. My friend's favorite was the shrimp toast and mine was the spicy wontons. We also ordered Thai iced tea with boba, it was so tasty my friend finished hers before we even got our food! Loved the convenience of this place and employees were constantly walking around cleaning and bringing out orders - they did an excellent job and I can't wait to come back and try some baos! read more

I was a little confused when I first looked at the menu because the first thing you see is pick your protein and then pick rice noodles or vegetables. If you don't look closely you might miss that they actually have dumplings. It just felt like an odd setup for a place that calls itself a dumpling house. I tried a variety of dumplings along with the edamame and ordered a beer. The dumplings were okay but pretty starchy. It seemed like the filling to wrapper ratio was a bit light which made them feel heavier than they should. The edamame was not great and a little mushy. I also never received the beer I ordered. When I asked about it later the server did not remember me ordering it. It was not on the bill so at least I was not charged, and I did not ask for a printed receipt, but it was still a strange experience. Overall it was fine but not somewhere I would go out of my way to return to read more

Service was really good, the staff were very welcoming and friendly and helpful especially as this was my first time year. The menu looks good, several offerings on traditional food and wonton soup. I had the Hongkong style wonton soup but I found it a little bit too salty as I try to keep my sodium intake low. The pork wonton was very tasty and delicious and plentiful. I also had the wonton chips on the side but was disappointed that it did not come with a sweet and sour sauce. They were also over fried. The restaurant is walk up and order and a number is given and the food is delivered to your table. The decor reminded me of some restaurants I've seen in Hongkong, very typical Chinese. I will be back to try more food on the menu! read more

I went during the soft opening--first for lunch with my girlfriend and then went back the same day for dinner with my family! Both times the wait was long, but honestly that was totally expected during a soft opening. A friend went yesterday and said people were already lined up, with the line wrapping around the building before the doors even opened for lunch. Today I even heard they had to close for lunch because they completely ran out of food, but they're gearing up and opening again for dinner--that's how popular they already are! I seriously can't wait to go back once things calm down a bit. The food is so fun, and the atmosphere is amazing. This place is definitely going to be a huge hit! read more

The menu is a bit confusing for first timers, but the cashier helped us navigate it. We ended up ordering the Mongolian steak with stir-fry veggies and edamame and the Shanghai chicken dumplings. The edamame was hard and cold. The veggies were mainly cabbage, onions, and carrots, but they told us it also came with bell peppers and edamame. The steak was tough and tasted like fake meat. It was also overly saucy with sauce that tasted like it came straight from a jar but maybe would have paired well with a side of rice to soak it up. The bowls at Yogis Grill are better tasting and cheaper. The chicken dumplings were practically inedible. They were the worst dumplings I've ever eaten in my life, and I've been to Asia multiple times. The wrappers (though steamed) were thick and incredibly hard, and the inside was chunky and bland. This place is a disgrace to Asian food, especially at its steep price (our two dishes cost $35). The inside was aesthetically pleasing and well-decorated but didn't make up for the awful tasting food. read more

Decent food that lacks refinement of any kind also tarnished by somewhat unfriendly Service. The portions are huge evidently targeting American palates and presentation was very poor and simply not very appetizing! . It would actually be nice if the dumplings be served in wooden steamers to make it look more authentic. The crispy pork belly bao was very tough. The dining room is not at all inviting and tables are very close to one another. There is also an outdoor patio, but it was way too warm to sit outside. The prices are average. Nobody came to check on us during our lunch, which would've been nice.. I thought the food was of decent quality but nothing to rave about and very average fare and definitely not a reason enough to return. read more

We met another couple for Early dinner and found it very casual. It's cafeteria style but ordering from a complicated menu was a little challenging. The shu mai and pot sticker were yummy and we each enjoyed our meal. The Korean beef or fried chicken and bao were delicious. The Korean beef rice bowl lack extra flare. They sell liquor: beer, sake and soju at 12% alcohol so that was surprising! We would return! read more

This restaurant is a package of all the worst thing a Asian restaurant can be. When non-asian decide to appropriate asian food without any knowledge about the food we get Ni Hao bao dumpling house. Tried their dumplings and I have never seen or eaten anything this terrible even when I got frozen dumplings from Walmart. The dipping sauce was bitter. The wraps were as thick as pizza dough and their filling was non-existent and had no taste. Even their garnish cabbage was horrible. Should have walked away when I didn't see a single asian in this on their most busiest weekend day. If you really want to eat here I suggest go to the nearest walmart pick any frozen dumpling, punch your self in the face get some dipping sauce from the nearest drain and you will still have a better time than eating here. read more

this place was busy when we arrived around 1:30 pm, we were helped right away and got our food served pretty fast, everything was fresh and tasty, the customer service was good too, the food was so flavorful and melted on your tongue, the only thing i slightly didn't enjoy was the snores boa it was a tad bit dry for me so keep that in mind if you're going to order it, i loved the decorations around the whole restaurant, this was a great place for our date read more

I have been here a few times and had a few different dumplings and the beef and KFC bao. Food was very good except it took about 25+ mins to get each item each time. I know they make it fresh but that is not sustainable especially if you guys start getting busy. I hope you can figure out how to prep the food quicker as I see this is a complaint by other customers. I might just order to go and wait half an hour to pick up on future orders. read more

I hate that I don't like this place. The staff were great, the setting is modern contemporary, clean and neat but the food really let it down. They call themselves a dumpling house but their dumplings were just not good. The filling was generic on my Shanghai chicken dumplings but the skins were way too thick. The dumplings themselves are tiny and with the thickness of the skin it was just a very disappointing bite. My friend got a teriyaki chicken rice bowl and for the price I would've expected more chicken and the rice was mushy. I also got a couple of Korean fried chicken baos and if it wasn't for the sauce that they provided on the side, it would have no flavor at all. The baos themselves were nice and fluffy and I enjoyed them, but the overall experience was just extremely disappointing. read more

Loved this little place -- service was friendly and helpful. You order at the counter and they deliver a tray to your table. There is indoor and outdoor seating; while outside is against a parking area, they have put up plant screens to add to the ambiance. I had the pork belly on bao buns with edamame. They came taco style with shredded carrots, crispy puffed rice curls and hoisin sauce. Delicious and very filling! Bathrooms were spacious and clean I'm definitely going back. read more

I was originally in this plaza to get something else, but after I walked by and saw the impressive decor I thought I'd give it a try and WOW, what a great experience. I got the crispy pork belly with steamed bao and it was absolutely delicious.

Food came out quickly and service was great. I'll definitely be back! read more

Unfortunately, this was one of the worst service experiences I've had in a long time. We waited over an hour for our food, with no explanation, no check-ins, and no sense of urgency. We asked the cashier who came outside and never returned back to give us an answer. We had to go back to the restaurant for an update. Mistakes happen, but good service is about awareness and accountability and neither was present here. Sadly, I won't be returning. read more
