What Diners Are Saying
Diners loved
Some noted
Ordered from Instacart/Uber Eats, which I usually don't do, but I had a discount and really wanted Baos.
Upon arriving just know this is what I believe is characterized as a ghost kitchen.
Based on the reviews I had really high hopes for this place.

Ordered online. Food was very quick to arrive and looked fantastic. Very tasty (if a bit messy) and very reasonable pricing. Had a special request in my order and they accommodated me without any fuss. Would order again.

“I ordered the crispy spicy aioli chicken bao, and it was bigger than I expected.”
I ordered the crispy spicy aioli chicken bao, and it was bigger than I expected! It was super saucy, and they even included an extra side of sauce. The flavor was a solid 10/10, and the delivery was impressively fast. To top it off, the kitchen sent a cute little note—such a nice touch!

“I recently ordered from Take a Bao through Uber Eats, and I was thoroughly impressed.”
I recently ordered from Take a Bao through Uber Eats, and I was thoroughly impressed. I tried their chicken teriyaki bao, garlic aioli bao, chicken dumplings, and cinnamon buns, and I also added garlic butter fried rice. I requested extra chicken and a spicy kick, and they nailed it perfectly! What really stood out was their attention to detail—they not only delivered delicious food but also included a thoughtful letter to cheer me up. The food quality, packaging, and overall service were exceptional. Highly recommend this restaurant for a fantastic dining experience!

It was my first time ordering from them, and honestly it made my day, i wanted some comfort food after having a bad day dealing with the grief of losing my mother last month. I opened my delivery to a very sweet handwritten note that made me smile. This staff is amazing and has beautiful service and i just want to thank them so very much, their positivity goes along way. Thank you for amazing food and spreading kindness to all your customers. 10/10 will be forever returning!

“There needs to be a lot of love to make delicious food.”
There needs to be a lot of love to make delicious food. And take a bao shows that appreciation through their flavorful and packed baos, along with adding a thoughtful note. We got the crispy chicken and tofu baos and will be trying their other baos soon!

Not only is the food PHENOMENAL, the staff and establishment as a whole are kind hearted. They literally hand write thoughtful notes/messages in your to go orders which have put a smile on my face and touched my heart. Keep doing what you’re doing I hope nothing but the best for this company!!

“This is one of my favorite restaurants.”
This is one of my favorite restaurants. After an issue with doordash they went above and beyond to fix the issue and deliver us the right food. Everything is always perfection when we order from them. I haven’t had bad food from them in the countless orders. The s’mores Bao is the best item on the menu.

Love this place. The food is always fresh and light. I ordered one chicken and one shrimp Bao and they were tasty. I also got the Nutella for dessert; it was delicious but I wouldn’t mind if it has some extra chocolate 😊 The personal note is so cute too, thanks Ana!
