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!

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

reasonably priced bao and good kimchi fries

Bao are delicious. Hangover fries are aptly named.

The hungry Buddha is amazing. And the curry fries!

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

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!!!

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

Best baos in Astoria!

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.

Curry fries are excellent

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

Pancake for day and days. Eat it

chairman bao!!

Bun, shoppe fries

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