Reviews for Bao Shi Yi in Houston, TX
Buns and noodles were okay. Meat in the noodles were dry. Chinese Donut frying oil was not fresh. Chinese Traditional Pancake... had too much sweet sauce inside and the pancake was too soft. Mango juice slush was sour and do not have much mango flavor. Itwould be better if the soup dumplings come with individual mini trays. Read more
It's a Cute small place, Clean. We went about 12pm on a Monday and there was nobody there. We were the only customer. We ordered... the Chasiu Bao and Pork Bao. The Pork was bland, not much taste. The Chasiu was just OK. As for the Drinks we got MilkTea andMango Slush. I got a less sweet MilkTea and it still was a little sweet and the boba was still a little hard, but still tasteok. The Mango Slush is good. Prices are average for these types of places. Overall I wouldn't go out of my way to go there. Read more
4.3 rating is pretty low for their food and service, but the reviews on here are accurate. The first time I came was around 7:40... PM on a Thursday, and the place is closed even though Google says they close at 8. Decided to try again at 5:30PM the next day,and had an amazing experience! I got 3 dumplings dishes, 8 fresh meat mini buns, and 2 soymilks all for only $42. That is waaaymore affordable than I normally pay at other places. The food was delicious, and I absolutely LOVED the thick, creamy coldsoymilk bottle they make in house. So just like typical asian restaurants, if you enjoy the food it?s your choice to put up withinconsistency operations or not. Will frequent this place since it?s so close to my yoga studio and I love a cold soymilk afterworkout. The drive thru window is a huge plus! I asked the girl for some water and she gave them to me in this adorable cup.Very nice service! Read more
Omg! I was across the street; bolted over when I saw the drive through with dumplings and boba. Y?all the food is so good! If... it?s not made from scratch I?d be surprised. The flavors and quality were so good and not having to leave the car on my commuteto get my son from daycare made it even better! At home digging in as we speak. Two thumbs up from my kiddo and me ???? Read more
The Kirby location is in a busy area and parking is a little limited. The service was fast and prompt at 9:30am on a Friday... morning. The dumplings and noodle bowls came out piping hot. This is a really good place for a Chinese style breakfast. Read more
AMAZING food. Staff is patient and work very quickly. Great menu items and flavors were packed in every food. We got the New... Orleans chicken bao, the soup dumplings, popcorn chicken, braised beef noodles, amd strawberry slush with cheese foam.Everything is as good as it looks! Read more
Came across this quaint little restaurant on our way back from the airport. The Spicy Chicken Wrap and Mushroom, Bean Curd &... Vegetable Buns were flavorful, the texture of the buns were soft and fluffy. However, the Soup Dumplings should not be servedon a piece of paper since the wrappers were all stuck onto the paper which caused the dumplings to break and the soupoverflowed. We highlighted it to the female staff who immediately made a new order and placed the soup dumplings individuallyin a different container. Clean restaurant, cool ambiance with outdoor seating option, frozen buns available for sale but thereis room for improvement in terms of the staff?s friendliness. In addition, the female staff seemed to be pretty occupied on hermobile phone. Would love to try their New Orleans Chicken Buns next time! Read more
So I walked in and it had a great atmosphere. Lady at the counter was ready and willing to take my order. I got the 8 piece bao... buns and 8 piece pork soup buns? not certain on the exact item, plus got the brown sugar milk tea with boba. The pork soup bunswere totally delicious. The bao buns were dry and not moist like what I've had before. The milk tea was good, but I would'vepreferred a little sweeter. Overall it was still a good experience. Read more
