Baoburg - Brooklyn

The food at this restaurant is fantastic! The steak bao buns are delicious, the crispy pork belly is tender and perfectly crispy, and the short rib ramen is really tasty. The restaurant is small and charming, with good service and friendly staff. The portions are generous, but the seating options of stools and benches provide little back support, making it slightly uncomfortable. Despite this, I highly recommend this hidden gem and will definitely be returning.

Baoburg is the ideal destination for a city escape! The outdoor space makes you feel like you're on a tropical vacation. One of the highlights for me was when the waiter came and put mosquito repellent on every table as the day turned into night, a thoughtful touch that I greatly appreciated. I always get bitten at outdoor patios in the city, so this was a nice surprise. The food was delicious, and I highly recommend trying their coconut water straight from the coconut.

Food is delicious, maybe a bit higher in price that I’d normally pay for what it is but certainly worth it.Service is just ok but it somehow feels fine that it’s that way? From the moment you go in you get the feeling that’s meant to be the case.I’m not the biggest fan of their seating arrangements, neither inside or outside are particularly comfortable. Best for a quick solo-meal or for pick up.

Got the classic bao which was a perfect appetizer for two but the meat was very fatty and very heavy on the sauce which made it hard to eat. The Wok Wok noodles were a little bland and wish there was more veggies in it. Great atmosphere inside with a cute backyardFood: 3/5

Top 3 must tries on the menu are the braised short rib ramen, the duck confit khao soi, and the lemongrass noodles. Their broth is rich, portions are massive, and the frozen lychee margarita is a delicious and fruity take on the classic. Their back garden area is ADORABLE. If the weather is nice, I recommend eating in that space.Food: 5/5
