Thai Curry Chicken Bao is to practically absolutely die for! Soft, moist, hot, and flavorful! Their ginger soda and ice cream is pretty top notch as well !
Visited location in Water Tower Place for quick lunch Chicken Asian salad and Boa. I say try it you will like it. Later in week also had lunch at location 1 blk from Macy's downtown store.
Two bao combo is the way to go. Kung pao chicken is an explosion of flavors hot and spicy up in your mouth!! Thai curry is just ok.
They recently added an apple cinnamon bao to the menu. I'm not sure if they'll be on the menu forever, so I'm planning to eat a few hundred now just to be on the safe side.
Try all the meat bao . My favorite is the spicy Mongolian beef and chicken teriyaki . Their ginger ale is really ginger-y and spicy !
Thai chicken curry bao is the best, I also liked the kung pao chicken bao . They also have dessert baos .
Genuinely simply bad... the chicken and veggies were all mushy and even though we ordered extra meat and veggies , it barely covered the base. Dumplings were severely underwhelmjng
BOGO quinoa bowls, free baos & free froyo ! The best company to ck in with & receive texts from!
Qinoa bowl with cabbage & thai curry is great!! And i dont feel guilty afterwards like i do when i have a rice bowl .
I've always loved the Mongolian bowl. And the bao too.
Spicy Mongolian beef bao , pomegranate ginger ale . Trust me.
This is so delicious and cheap . Mongolian beef is legit spicy .
The “wow” factor at this take-out joint dedicated to bao (steamed Asian dumplings ) could be anything Read more
bbq pork bao is the way to go
BBQ Pork Bao is excellent. Thai Curry Chicken Bao is just okay.
The bao are great but don't sleep on the bowls.
The Mongolian Beef Bao is a must
Go for a decadent chocolate/coconut bao . It's definitely a dessert bao , but it's super addictive (and pretty new on the menu)
Get Six Pack Baos . Never get the desert baos in the same bag as the dinner baos . Get the Ginger Tea , but never the drinks they have in front of the counter. Don't use electronic order, go the cashier .
The soup dumplings are so tasty! Sadly limited time only
Cocunut custard is a tasty treat if you have a bit of a sweet tooth.
The froyo is delicious and a great value compared to nearby yogurt shops .
The coconut custard bao is delicious!
Breakfast bao combo : two bao and a coffee ... recommend sausage egg bao
The thai curry chicken was my fave, but all of them taste great. Sample them all!
the mongolian beef bao is a little spicy . bbq pork is awesome
The coco bao is the best! (That's what I meant to say before lol.)
They have hidden seating upstairs.
Get the Bao Combo . Good deal !
The BBQ pork baos may be my favorite!
The frozen yogurt with pomegranate-hibiscus syrup is really really good (and only available at Wow Bao WaterTower)
Go with a friend. Try all the Bao !
Teriyaki Chicken Bao is definitely a must-eat!
The Mongolian Beef bao was really good! Read more
The spicy pork bao !
The pumpkin bao are amazing!
Try teriyaki bao soooo good
Ew. Go anywhere else. There are better food options upstairs.
Decent fare but they ran out of almost everything. Don't go close to closing.
Definitely Pom-Ginger Ale . Tables? Up the escalator. Bring napkins (to wipe down eating area, it's not well maintained).
Couldn't decide betweet Thai Curry Chicken or BBQ Pork so I went with both.
The coco boa is the best!!!
The veggie bowl with quinoa tastes farty. Pass on it.
Get the six pack. You can never have too many Bao .
Green tea ginger ale and spicy Mongolian beef BAO are must-dos.
Thai chicken curry
Delicious fro-yo with your choice of syrup .
Refuses to honor foursquare check in specials.
I got a bow free. That was amazing :)
The best buns in Chicago!
The Deluxe suites are amazing, very spacious living and dining area, good bedroom and don't get me started on the views especially from the 26th and up. - Ahmed Elkenany
Kids with allergies will be thrilled that they can dine in style at the store's cafe on artfully arranged tea sandwiches made with gluten-free bread and dairy-free desserts. - Time Out Chicago Kids
You can't go wrong with any soy selections. Try firm tofu in a casserole, with cubes of fried, shrimp-stuffed tofu simmered in black bean sauce: - Tasting Table
Amazing food and speedy service. The Tea Duck is to die for. If you're in the area you have to experience the deliciousness. - Peter Jimenez
Get the xiao long bao, siu mai, and fried shrimp/corn dumplings. So good! - Mark Lindzy
