The Bao Shoppe

Noticed the sweet jams over the speaker system and I knew we were in for a treat. Can't go wrong w/ the special fries or boba! Buns are a bit oily but hearty and delicious nonetheless. No diets here!

Creative takes on the Chinese bao, such as the O.G. (pork belly) and Baogolgi, are the focus of the menu, but don't look over the excellent Braised Beef Scallion Pancake Wrap.

For my first visit I ordered 5 of the 6 Baos (skipped the tofo) all of them came out quickly and were amazing, they even cut them all in half for my friend and I. I will definitely be back.

Had the chicken fried (crispy and tender) and pork belly bao (juicy and succulent). Definitely a spot to crave your bao!

The Colonel Bao is made with a 24-hour house brined chicken/is delicious

Omggggg!! Newnessss!!! BAOS!!! Really awesome menu that includes BRISKET and PULLED PORK!! Yaaaasss!!! Keep in mind they are cash only so come prepared :).

The OG Bao rocks - melts in your mouth! Also those Philly Cheesesteak Scallion rolls are killer!

Quick and tasty! Love the bao --favorite is the popcorn shrimp--good fries and bubble tea.

Very busy during their grand opening week. It's a bit of a wait to get your order. So far my food was yummy!

Organic Kale juice is great! Bubble tea also!

Great food here! Wish they served beer, which would go so well with the food!

Great food. Great service. Will definitely be a frequent haunt for me.

I don't eat potatoes, but I'll make an exception for the baozilla and curry fries. Nom nom good!

Go here after Museum of the Moving Image. Delicious and unique bao.

Bao are delicious. Hangover fries are aptly named.

The hungry Buddha is amazing. And the curry fries!

Delicious. Get 2 with a side of fries! #6 is my fave

reasonably priced bao and good kimchi fries

Took 35 minutes to get what's supposed to be fast food. Pulled pork was good, chicken was hard, steak was okay. All of the buns immediately broke. Bubble tea was incredibly watery.

Add spicy mayo and jalapeno to your bao for free to kick it up a notch

Bao down. Try the O.G. and Colonel to start.

Couldn't decide on what to get so I ordered 1, 2, 3, 5 & 6. 4 didn't have meat so no thanks. Brisket, Bulgogi and pulled pork were off the chizain!!!

Order 2 or with a side, 1 is not enough food.

Best baos in Astoria!

Pancake for day and days. Eat it

Curry fries are excellent

chairman bao!!

It's tasty but $4.25 for a glass of tea?!

Bun, shoppe fries
