Take a Bao Eats

Upon arriving just know this is what I believe is characterized as a ghost kitchen. Although this is my first time going to one, I know they are becoming more popular for restaurant owners to use. Cool, not mad at it one bit. What I didn’t particularly care for is that there are multiple restaurants operating out of this building and there’s one person that may or may not be at the front handling the takeout orders for all the restaurants inside. Otherwise, you’re picking your food up from a locker. I assume these restaurants get a lot of app orders. Guess for me it takes the hospitality out of the business and you have no idea whose the face behind who's making your food and the business itself. That was different for me and as a first time customer I didn’t particularly care for it. I bought the spicy chicken bao and the garlic fried rice. The bao was good. I’ve had better but not bad. The fried rice though… The portion size for the garlic fried rice is plain ole degrading. They need to rename it “Inflation Fried Rice” because that’s how small the portion size was. I've included a pic even though I don't think it fully does it justice. You literally get more rice in a lunch meal from your standard Chinese takeout and Panda Express; mind you there’s also an entree that comes with those dishes at those restaurants. And it wasn’t good! Nothing but frozen peas and carrots lathered up soy sauce and a little butter. No lie, a kid could’ve made this. I went back in to ask for some soy sauce and it took 5 minutes for the reasons mentioned above. Overall, I was very disappointed and won’t be returning. I am not a person that writes reviews so if I’m doing so, that means it really wasn’t a pleasant experience.

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!

Delicious food (spicy shrimp bao, veggie dumplings, milk tea with brown sugar boba) and a very cute note. Happy new year!

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!
