Absolutely delicious for the entire family. All the kids loved trying something new. So many vibrant colors on our plates and so yummy! We were quite happy sitting outside and would be happy to come back again.

This is the perfect afternoon small as you walk down 5th park slope. The scallion wrap duck was exactly what I needed. For what it costs, give it a five star. It’s like a twist to the Peking duck, with similar sauces. Not a big portion but a pretty filling snack

Great food, great value. The curry chicken dumplings are amazing, and everything came out fresh and quickly. Clean space and friendly service. I’d definitely come back.

Mr. Bao is one of those places you walk into once and immediately know you’ll be coming back. The food is incredible — everything tastes fresh, balanced, and full of flavor.

Pay no attention to the ridiculous low scoring. Scored higher on doordash how I ordered thru. Made a time mistake with my order and they happily fixed it. Everything was perfect 👌. We'll seasoned n those things that were spicy wasn't extremely. Picky eater approved. Phoenix buns were the best

Soup dumplings in Park Slope, need I say more? I usually get Dan Dan noodles, dumplings and their combination bowls (rock shrimp, mushrooms, and brown rice). So amazing to have this spot in my neighborhood. Highly recommended

Enjoyed the popcorn chicken, dumplings, and meatball bowl thing. Update: returned and tried the veg dumplings for the first time and they were out of this world - so good!! Highly recommend!

My brother and I decided to come eat here after receiving non-existent service at KYURAMEN just down the street. Seating is kind of limited and the setup is mostly for takeout but the vibe was pretty chill for Tuesday evening. The food took a little longer than anticipated but was pretty good. I got the mapo tofu rice bowl which I enjoyed, mapo tofu was delicious. My brother enjoyed the dandan noodles. The soup dumplings and buns were delicious as well. Maybe my only complaint would be the spicy mala pork soup dumplings weren’t spicy at all but it was still good.

I absolutely love this place ! I’ve ordered about three times from Uber eats and each time has been so delicious . Yesterday I ordered Phoenix buns and instead of the regular ones they gave me special ones ! They were huge and tasted really good. The dumplings are so delicious ! I recommend the pork and chives they were amazing . The soup dumplings were also delicious will never stop ordering from them! 😊

Ordered on ubereats on a Monday night...I was pleasantly surprised! I don't usually get overly excited about dumplings but their soup dumplings were good! Got the soup dumpling mix and they were all good. Also tried the wings - also good!

Excellent dumplings and rice bowls - casual setting but really fresh food and there’s a lot of variety of things to chose from. Will be back to try the rest of the menu!

Our office ordered from this restaurant for the first time today. Most of us ordered "create your own bowl" (didn't take pics, gotta do better with that) we also ordered the shrimp lo mein, duck wrap, chicken, wrap, and the pork and chive fried dumplings and the fried spicy ramen. The overall consensus is everyone really enjoyed their food! Pork n Chive fried dumplings were deelish! flavor bomb inside, not dry. The dumpling itself was the perfect crisp and pillowy soft combo 9 out of 10. Fried spicy Ramen was ok, nothing to write home about. It was flavorful but dry, and there was a pool of chili oil on the bottom. 5 out of 10 Create your own bowl (48hr braised beef, garlic cucumber, and jasmine rice) The garlic cucumbers are a yummy pickled, crunch element that the dish needs 8 out of 10. The 48hr braised beef had great flavor, not salty BUT is was dry unfortunately was in desperate need of a sauce. That took away from the dish for me 7 out of 10. The menu has a lot of options that I really want to try. When it's all said and done, I would recommend this place and order from here again.

Good food with great a great price! Definitely recommend the Rice Bowl! First off, the amount of food is big. Secondly, the galbi beef and the pork belly are both tender and delicious! With the added boiled egg and veggies, it just became a bowl of flavors and satisfaction.

Their food is absolutely amazing! The only reason for not 5 stars is delivery bs. The dumps are perfect, so are the sides & the fried tofu is perfection! (Idk why more places don’t do tofu this way…). Get it with a side of soy sauce & call it a day. :). Noms & yumm.

3 stars all across the board, you can’t get more average than this place. Got the popcorn chicken, had decent flavor and decent crunch, but wasn’t anywhere near the best I’ve ever had. Overall, not terrible, but not worth getting again.

Was working overnight and my co-worker and I ordered from here for some late-night eats. We ordered the following: MR. Bar Fried Rice with shrimp, steamed pork soup dumplings and create your own rice bowl. Her rice bowl had the following : jasmine rice, 48-hour braised Galbi beef, and garlic cucumber salad. The total was $40.00 with the added fees. Upon arrival, everything was sealed tight and there was no spillage. They included forks and knives, but no condiments. The soup dumplings were fairly decent, but the flavors weren’t distinct. Now, my fried rice took me off guard, it was better than I expected for a late-night meal. The only thing I would have changed is no egg. My co-worker said she thoroughly enjoyed her rice bowl. Some direct quotes are, Cucumber salad was “particularly good” and the meat was “tender and flavorful. “ In all, I would recommend Mr. Bao’s for a late-night meal. I am curious about the rest of the menu! (This 3.5 / 5 🌟 rating )

Finally a Chinese restaurant worth talking about in this part of Brooklyn! Despite having "bao" in its name, the soup dumplings is what to get. We got the pork soup dumpling and it was very flavorful and a good size dumpling and soup inside. Then there's the pan fried pork dumpling that had a unique seasoning sprinkled over on top that added this extra flavor negating needing the dipping sauce. We went back a 2nd time to try the crab/pork soup dumplings along with their shrimp/pork dumplings and they were also fabulous! The rice bowls are much larger than we had expected and is more than enough to fill you up. The pork belly was soft and juicy, while the meat was slightly over cooked, but still chock full of flavor. Since they had just open I assume the beef will be better as they work out the kinks. Popcorn chicken had a twinge of spice to give that little extra tasty tickle on your tongue. It could have used a sauce, but not necessary. Of all things, the unique looking black bao actually was the least of the favorite options. Felt like there was too much breading compared to the goods inside. All in all, this place is great and I'll definitely be going back to try more things!

the Taiwanese popcorn chicken was just kinda fried to a crisp - lots of small pieces as well so just less chicken overall, but main problem was how over-fried it was

Takeout quality has gone way down. 48 hr beef and rice bowl is dry, no sauce, nothing. Just rice, dry beef, a dry egg, and a bit of the side slapped on. At $20+ not including fees, it's a real disappointment.

I ordered food on door dash and it said that this restaurant was preparing for 40 minutes. I called the store and the lady that picked up told me the door dasher is on its way to deliver it and it should arrive within 10 minutes. Well I waited over 30 minutes and my food still hasn’t arrived. Don’t order online from here. AVOID.

I’ve always loved ordering dumplings from Mr. Bao and decided to try something different. I was excited for the popcorn shrimp, as I’ve had it from other place and thoroughly enjoyed the flavors, so I ordered two. However, after receiving the popcorn shrimp on a take out order I was disappointed to find the shrimp not deveined. Although some people don’t care, it definitely through me off as I’ve always had this dish and all of my other shrimp dishes at restaurants, deveined. The shrimp were filled with shrimp poop and even some of it exploded on to the near by shrimp. I tried to power through it but unfortunately, I couldn’t eat it as it looked unappetizing and made me nauseous. Really upset with the quality and really upset that it’s become waste.
