Reviews for Fat Bao in Houston, TX
This is such a cool place in Houston. They make some seriously delicious Bao. A unique experience. I loved their habanero hot... sauce. I don?t think you can go wrong with anything on their menu. The interior is cute and neat and the staff is very friendlyand helpful. There is lot of parking space available outside. Read more
Visited from out of town and this was my favorite meal of the whole trip! Went for lunch - be prepared to order 2-3, 3 was just... perfect for myself. I got the New Yorker, pork belly, and duck. All were delish, but the pork belly and duck are the same, justdifferent meat. (I didn?t pay attention to anything after the meat ????) I?d say pick one or the other, and try one of theothers ???? My family ordered the bulgogi, pork katsu, spicy Thai, and crab daddy. I also enjoyed the spicy edamame. I?ve alwayshad it plain or salted, so to have it spicy was new for me. It actually wasn?t even spicy, if you like spicy, but it stilltasted good! Also tried the banana and Nutella dessert and it was delish, just what you?d expect it to be! Definitely recommend!Location is in a plaza and there is plenty of parking. Read more
I really liked this place. Please see my picture for what a regular bun is like (in the front) vs. A fried bun (in the back).... Both were yummy. Most of us would probably agree that the portions are small. I think I ate 3 or 4 and I was on the cusp ofbeing satisfied. I definitely would've needed 2 or 3 more to be full . I don't eat like a bird for sure, but I'm also not theheaviest of eaters. Read more
Really love the Bao buns here, my favourite is the Spicy Thai - the sauce is spicy and delicious. The Bao is fresh and soft and... worth trying. They have various options and i am sure that everything tastes good. One Bao is small and may be should try morethan one. The Fat fries here are good too, the kimcheenaise tastes in the fries is really good. The fries are thin andcrispy. Overall it's a good experience. It's a self service restaurant and I recommend finding a seat before you load your handsyour order! ???? Read more
Very disappointed. We were excited to eat here after reading good reviews and seeing a packed restaurant. Service was fast and... friendly but the food was either bland or the flavors did not mix well. Had the spicy Thai bao and it was a chicken fingerdipped in sauce. The chicken fat fries are bits of chicken nuggets with fries and hot sauce. Would not recommend this place. Read more
Downsides: The prices aren't listed on the board, and I didn't realize you only get one Bao instead of multiple. A lot of... plastic waste. Pros: The bao tastes really good and they offer a variety of options that allow you to try new things withouthaving to get a lot. The vibes are really nice here, they play good music and the workers are nice. Read more
Such a wide variety of Bao. Great flavors, and friendly staff. My friend and I ordered 7 or 8 different Bao as well as the home... made chips and we loved just about all of them! Bulgari, Pork Katsu, and fried fish were the absolute best. The Memphis and Thaiwere good, just needed a little something extra. The tofu and crab were our least favorite. Still yummy, but just not jawdropping. The chips were super hot and fresh and everything came out so quickly! Will definitely go back again! Read more
Absolutely Loved this spot. The food was great and service was awesome. Took my daughter for her Birthday and she Loved it. We... ordered the Pork Belly, Curry Beef, Duck, and Spicy Chicken Boas and the Yummy Fries. Everything was very Good. Read more
