Smart Restaurant , order, pay & collect your food by your self. Delicious Asian Food . Try the Vegetarian Rice Meal & Ginger with Lemon Juice . Very unique technological environment. Very recommended.
Thank you for supporting 4sqr and rewarding your customers through it. This place is great. The dumpling soup has an awesome heat to it plus the dumplings are tasty!
Addicted. Thai curry chxn bao + Spicy Mongolian beef bao . Yummmmmm. Staff nice + will steam these in the morning although breakfast menu is out.
Pot stickers are fine; better to go with the Thai curry-chicken rice bowl with its yellow curry . Or just stick with the bao , steamed buns stuffed with fillings such as slightly spicy kung pao chicken .
The BBQ pork bao is filled with small chunks of sweet and savory Chinese-style barbecue pork with a flavor similar to teryaki.
If they have a season Bao for sale, get it. You'll be glad you did, and you'll be sorry when it's gone (especially if it has "banana " in its name).

Wow! Dumplings and buns were amazing! Very fast service too.
Not quite as cheap or steamy fresh as the real stuff in Hong Kong but oh so close. Couldn't find egg custard bao on the menu which was a real disappointment. Overall, very delicious.
BBQ pork bao is the way to go. Also the staff is incredibly nice here.
The menu at Wow Bao 225 N Michigan doesn't list steamed dumplings , but if you're willing to wait, and ask nice, we'll make 'em for you
Hey Wow Bao, you should join Freebie! It’s pretty rad and the benefits are great for both you and me. Check it out! <aclass="entity url"rel="nofollow" href="http://taps.io/freebie"target="_blank" data-sig="vNFDijdwyL9vuT7YLPmRaYD5LGU=" onmousedown="fourSq.ui.OutgoingLink.mousedown($(this), event)" data-source="tip-text">http://taps.io/freebie</a>
The Chicken Pot Stickers are fantastic!
If they have a seasonal bao (e.g. pumpkin in the fall), go for it!
Ordered online; quick service-no waiting. I would recommend this location.
The new quinoa bowls are great! I don't feel over stuffed like usual.
Large coffee (e.g. Grande) is only a$1.76 (w/ tax). Get the dark roast .
The chicken summers rolls are so fresh and delicious!
Teriyaki chicken bao ! Awesome
The initial concept is unique but the food is mediocre
Chocolate bao is sooo good
Love the curry chicken rice bowl .
Try the coconut bao
Try the Ginger Ale w/passion fruit .
First time I've had a Bao and boy are they good!
Check in... Get BOGO. Awesome.
The food is excellent, as always, but it's way too loud in here.

Quinoa bowl with Kung Pao Chicken
Friendliest Staff
Stick to potstickers . Everything else is garbage. Unless you are a fan of cold noodles and such.
Veggie rice bowl = yuck. Too much cilantro . All I could taste.
Soya Sauce and Sweet and Sour come separate so don't forget to ask for them if you need them. - Pedram Soheil
Such great prices for a good amount of good. Any of the 'over rice' dishes seem to come out at around $5! Awesome. - Sheena
