    Price Jan 2026. Totally get the box. It's worth it
    Khaing Z W.

    Order ahead and pick up is the easiest. There is no place to sit down and eat really. Staff is friendly and speaks English well It is next to Garden Grove Costco and in same parking lot as Dat supermarket. Food - the best bao in SoCal! Period. I like pork and quail egg version the best. You can request it warm or room temperature. We buy many boxes and freeze them. Note- close at 3 PM

    Menu and prices in July 2025

    TP Banh Bao 2 offers steamed buns with Vietnamese fillings at reasonable price. They do offer a deal where you buy eight get ninth free. I wanted to try a bunch of flavors and made a mixed box. Easy to warm up at home, either 30 sec in microwave or 8 min in steamer. #1 Pork Egg Sausage is solid, pork stands out as taste with sausage as some twang, very much a Vietnamese flavor rather than a Chinese pork seasoning. #5 Pork and Taro tastes similar due to pork but texture seems to have smaller ground pork and the taro is smooth and binds together, seems more cohesive, slightly sweeter due to taro. #8 Chicken Salted Duck Egg, tastes like normal egg, less umami than pork but still moist and a good option. #14 Durian Salted Egg custard is close to a typical Chinese salted egg dessert bao, only slight durian smell after cut open. #15 Taro is solid dessert, smooth paste and not too sweet. Plan to stop by again to get more buns to go.

    Save your $$. Get the big boxes. I remember coming here before and feeling meh about the buns but I was hungry and decided to give it another try. For the size, it's not worth getting them individually. Get the big box! The lady helping me was sweet. Quick in and out. So many people were ordering boxes ahead of me and I thought I was relatively early at 11 am!

    Got their 5 best different flavors, #2, #3, #7, #8 and #10. Glad Jenny labeled them on the container. She's very efficient and patient. All the banh bao I got are the best. The dough has the right texture and moist and the meat are flavorful. Even after reheating them in the microwave, the overall quality didn't change at all. It's a small, clean and well organized store in a plaza with enough parking. It's worth the trip.

    Located in an unassuming strip mall one will find this Bao bakery. There are a variety of choices, pork, chicken, taro and veggie which are sold individually or in a box. One can mix varieties to complete a box or purchase them individually. The chicken and egg was very tasty, ample filling to bun ratio. The veggie bun was also well filled and flavorful. They're served warm and ready to be eaten. The lady behind the counter was friendly and kind. Would definitely recommend!

    Banh Bao Thap Cam Trung Cut with Sriracha! YUMMY!
    Nancy L.

    My husband and I stopped at T.P. Banh Bao 2 in Garden Grove. We ordered the Banh Bao Thap Cam Trung Cut (#2 on their menu), it's a Vietnamese steamed bun with pork filling sausage, and quail egg, and oh my world--they were incredible! We love the ones with the quail egg--the small egg is just perfect for these baos. The breading was unbelievably fluffy and soft, and the filling was packed with flavor and super moist. We ordered four boxes, and each one came with nine perfectly sized banh baos. We knew right away we had to bring some back home to Sacramento. I was told they sell out early if you don't come in time, so it's best to go in the morning. If you get there early and order on the spot, the baos come warm and ready to eat. But since we had a long drive ahead, I asked if they had any cold ones we could store in a cooler. The lady at the front was so kind and helpful--she packed up cold ones for us and even gave us reheating tips. She said to pop one in the microwave for 40 seconds and they'd be good as new--and she was absolutely right! She also mentioned that if you keep the baos in the refrigerator, they're good for about a week. Once we got home, we froze them in freezer bags. Now whenever we want one, we just take a bag out of the freezer and defrost it. When we're craving a quick bite, we pop a bao in the microwave for 40 seconds and it comes out just like fresh. Even after being frozen for weeks, the baos still taste amazing--no sogginess, no loss of flavor, just pure deliciousness. And here's a fun tip: my husband saw my brother (who lives in Orange County) eat one with Sriracha, and wow--total game changer! It made the bao taste even better. So if you like Sriracha, don't knock it 'til you try it! We notice they have several locations and the closest one to us is in San Jose! We're already looking forward to our next visit. 10/10 would recommend!

    Decided to try a new place while my client was shopping. The service was friendly, helpful and a true sweetheart. I'd easily come again when in the area.

    I was excited to discover a shop that sells only banh bao. I picked up a few boxes while I was in SoCal and brought them to a potluck, where everyone thought the baos were tasty. However, I did wish there was Chinese sausage in them. I definitely will be stopping by again!

    Small but tasty!
    Anna T.

    Lots of people come here and I see why. Might be a line but it moves fast. These banb baos are delicious. Much smaller than at the food to go places but the quality is amazing. The filling is super super flavorful and many different types of fillings to pick from Also love how they have the deep fried banh baos which I haven't seen anywhere else and it's delicious also! Just get one of each or even a box!

    09/2024 it's 2024. $15 for 9 pieces $3 extra to fry. service is better, might've changed owners. recipes just as good. great togo place to go if you're looking for quick and easy

    Picking up Steamed Buns... the photo is not of Steamed Buns they are Bánh tét.
    Pam S.

    Picked up some steamed buns last Saturday... #1 and as previously mentioned there is plenty of meat-to-bread ratio in these buns! 9 Buns for $13.00 and yes they charge tax if you use a card... but HEY they accept credit cards that is usually not the case in these places. Also, they had a wide variety of buns to choose from - both savory and sweet. Counter service was fine, though I detected a wee bit of a language barrier, which didn't affect the transaction, when she wasn't sure of something the Guy in the back would come up and answer or clarify for us. Mama Sassy Pat (my neighbor's Mother is visiting) LOVED the fried buns she said they were capital D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S Delicious ((smile)). Located in a strip mall on the corner of Euclid and Garden Grove Blvd. on the West side of Euclid, parking is available here as well as other Asian restaurants and Dalat Market. Respectfully Reviewed.

    Stopped by this morning since I had a craving for Vietnamese-style steamed buns - definitely hit the right spot! First, parking still sucks here, I think it's gotten worse actually since my last post - the plaza has some changes including a Starbucks that was added at the corner. It's actually easier to park at the Office Depot lot and walk over, since their enter/exit driveways are wider and have less foot traffic. There's a variety of steamed buns here with both sweet and savory fillings - my go-to is the #1: Original pork, egg, and sausage - which as of today, goes for $13.00 for a box of 9, or $2.50 each. Prices are fair for the quality - sure, these are smaller than the banh baos you can get at say, THH down the street - but the quality is definitely noticeable and there is a higher filling-to-dough ratio. I used to peel the skin before eating steamed buns (was always told to as a kid) - but if you do that with these buns, you'll waste at least 1/5th of them considering the size. Service is prompt and courteous - cash recommended since there is a surcharge for card use. Overall, a favorite whenever I'm in the area and craving steamed buns.

    Do the white baos contain dairy (milk, butter, etc.)?

    Do they sell any plain baos? I'd love to buy some to dip into some condense milk! 😋

    Yes, they do have plain baos for $6.50/box of 12 pcs

    Are they're ingredients fresh?

    It should be... They claim that they make everything from scratch & box it; so all we have to do is heat it back up for 30 seconds in the microwave.

The chicken was crispy and the dipping sauce gave it that extra yummy goodness. The dish also came with a side of broth that had chicken bits in it, was nice to help digest your dish. I also loved that they gave you pickled veggies & fresh veggies. We also ordered the Loi's Fusion Saltado, upgraded the rice to garlic egg fried rice. The beef was soft and tender, the fries were nice and crispy and the fried rice was fresh. You 100% need to get the Thai Tea. A lot of place add too much cream/half and half diluting the tea flavor, they do not skimp on the actual tea in their drink. The color speaks for itself on the dark orange hue!

It also came with their dipping sauce, red rice and a fried egg. They also give you a side of broth. I was not a fan of their rice. Not sure if it was just that night or if it's how their rice is always cooked, but the rice was on the drier side so I had pour soup on my rice or else it was too dry. Service was okay. I would give them another try. Maybe for their noodle soup dishes.

If that bit of consistency doesn't speak volumes I don't know what will. Oc & Lau specializes in Vietnamese street food and essentially works in family style dining. Everything is brought out in platters & large bowls where food is shared amongst the table. The menu is filled with Vietnamese salads, snails, assortment of seafoods, rice, noodles, and hotpot. Vegetarian options are available. As if the menu isn't extensive enough, there is a whole section of drinks- alcoholic & non alcoholic. Must haves: *COCONUT ESCARGOT w/ BASIL LEAVES *GRILLED GARLIC BUTTER ESCARGOT *GRILLED RAZOR CLAMS IN GARLIC BUTTER & PEPPERCORNS *GRILLED RAZOR CLAMS IN TAMARIND SAUCE *SALT & PEPPER SQUID *SPICY GRILLED CHICKEN FEET *RARE BEEF SALAD *DEEP FRIED QUAIL IN BUTTER HOUSE SAUCE *GARLIC BUTTER QUEEN CLAMS The food is authentic and genuinely great! Ingredients are always fresh and the quality is on point. My complaints stem from the restaurant ALWAYS being "sold out" of the razor clams and the stir fried basil clams coming out soupy and off tasting to what they normally should taste like. Not too big of a deal once you factor in all the other great qualities Oc & Lau has. The pricing is costly and the portions can be small depending on what you are ordering. Things add up quite quickly since my family and I eat to get stuffed. Lmao. 5/5 stars because a trip to LA isn't a trip to LA without visiting O&L!!! I'll forever be a fan!!
