Reviews for Wow Bao - Water Tower Place in Chicago, IL
Pros: I was very happy to have a gluten free bao bun and it was very yummy! Cons: The service was absolute trash. The person at... the counter ignored me for several minutes before acknowledging me. She was very unpleasant when she took my order. While I waswaiting for my order she was eating behind the counter and did not wash up before returning to the orders. Read more
The Bao was delicious, but my main meal was disappointing. There was a lack of chicken in my bowl and the noodles had no flavor.... I would recommend coming here and just getting bao, don?t waste your money on anything else. Read more
We were in the area and needed a quick snack in between stops. I had seen the advertisements for this stand all over the city,... so we decided to give it a try. We ordered the orange chicken bowl and bao combo meal along with a tea. The bao was actuallypretty good, although you really need several per person to have a good snack. The orange chicken bowl, however, was terrible.The noodles were soggy, there was hardly any chicken, and the flavor was super watered down. It probably would have been betterto just order more bao and skip on the bowl, because it was far below even a Panda Express level of quality despite being moreexpensive. I would probably skip out on this place in the future, though, because there are plenty of other options nearby. Read more
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 initiallytried to order online because there was a 20% discount, but we tried and the discount didn?t appear. We opted to go order inperson. The service was fast and the gentleman who served us was very nice. Read more
This was my first time trying Wow Bao. I must say it was very good I had the teriyaki chicken with Jasmine rice, vegetarian... dumplings, and a gingerlemonade. Everything was very good!!! Read more
Love coming here when in Chicago. Usually quick service and friendly staff. Such a shame they don?t have the Thai chicken boa... anymore. The teriyaki is now my favourite. The kung pao was also decent but could use more flavour. The spicy beef was a bitsalty. Love the bone broth soup. Shame the seating inside is gone but I?m guessing that?s the typical COVID reason.

If youbwant fast Asian food Wow Bao is the place to go. They have great steamed Asian dumplings with great flavours. Use the... self serve kiosk for fastest service. It was very easy to use and explained the menu very well without having to interact andbe put under pressure of somebody in line behind you. Get you order and find a spot to enjoy the Watertowe entrance waterfeature and people watch. Very busy spot. Read more
Welcome to air plane food served on land. I'm in town for a few days and didn't want to go far to eat so the closes place is Wow... Boa and Wow it's terrible. I knew something was bad when I show up to find little to no kitchen with this restaurant. The riceis over cooked and maybe reheated. The grain tastes like mush and came from Uncle Ben's rice. The noodle is ok but not greatwith the sauce lacks authenticity so the orange chicken tastes only citrusy and pretty bland. I added on 3 pot stickers for $3and that was actually decent but not worth $3. The Boa for a 6 cost $24. It didn't tastes like $24. Also there's no place tosit, it's a carry out only unless you want to stand or sit outside and eat the dusty air. Conclusion, any Chinese restaurantthat screws up on rice should probably close shop.
