About Wow Bao

Wow Bao is a Chinese Restaurant situated at 835 N Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60611. They can be contacted at (312) 642-5888 or their mobile number +1 312-642-5888. Based on recent customer reviews, opinions on the food quality appear to be mixed, with some items receiving praise while others are met with disappointment.

One customer, with experience in Asian cuisine from travels abroad, expressed significant disappointment after ordering a rice dish with fried chicken and vegetables. They found the dish to be "severely lacking in flavor," noting the near absence of spices typically characteristic of Asian cooking. This reviewer felt that the dish lacked the "authenticity and richness of flavors" expected and would not recommend Wow Bao for those seeking genuine Asian tastes.

However, another review offered a more nuanced perspective, suggesting that Wow Bao might be a good place specifically for "steam buns." In contrast, this reviewer described the "chicken teriyaki" as "the worst I ever had" and recommended removing it from the menu if it cannot be improved.

In summary, customer feedback suggests that Wow Bao may have strengths in certain areas, particularly their steam buns, but other dishes, such as the chicken and vegetable rice and chicken teriyaki, have received negative reviews regarding flavor and quality. Potential customers looking for authentic and flavorful Asian cuisine may want to consider these mixed opinions when deciding whether to dine at Wow Bao.

Disappointing for Asian Cuisine After a shopping session at Water Tower Place in Chicago, I decided to stop by Wow Bao to satisfy a sudden hunger and opt for a healthy choice. Having traveled to several Asian countries and enjoyed their local cuisine, I was curious to try their food. Unfortunately, I was completely disappointed. I ordered a rice dish with fried chicken and vegetables, but it was severely lacking in flavor. The spices, which are a hallmark of Asian cuisine, were almost nonexistent. Honestly, the authenticity and richness of flavors you’d expect from Asian cuisine were missing. Asian cuisine deserves much better than this. I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re looking for authentic flavors.

If you looking for good steam buns, this is the place but the chicken teriyaki was the worst I ever had. Please take it off the menu if you cannot make it right.

Great place for a quick bite, lots of options to select from. Few vegetarian options are also available. Service is quick, the express kiosks are a bit difficult to navigate. I tried the whole wheat vegetable bao, it was good.

My wife was hungry and this was the nearest restaurant. She ordered the Chicken Teriyaki Bowl with noodles. We brought it back to our hotel where my wife ate it. She thought the noodles were over cooked and didn’t enjoy the meal overall. We initially tried to order online because there was a 20% discount, but we tried and the discount didn’t appear. We opted to go order in person. The service was fast and the gentleman who served us was very nice.
