Bao House has earned a 4.5-star rating on Yelp, based on two reviews.
Vicky P., who was the first Yelper to review the new spot on May 28, said, "The signature milk tea and popcorn chicken are tasty. I like the texture of this chicken compared to Oasis, it's not too fried."
And Anna A. wrote, "It's really nice to be able to go out to lunch and get a lean piece of fried pork on a soft and pillowy bao. ... The staff is friendly and it has the luxury of not needing to worry about lines yet."
