一包一碗

First time visiting Baos and Bowls and I really loved their self-service style, aka no tipping, which I greatly appreciate! :) I ordered the combo with the crispy schnitzel, pork baos, and cucumber salad. I also got the popcorn chicken as well. The deep fried chicken cutlet was definitely a highlight. It was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. More importantly, I have to admit that their pork baos might be some of the best in the city! The baos were pan fried to perfection and filled with delicious soup inside. Be careful when you bite into them cuz the juice will pop! If you can, let them cool a bit and then enjoy the whole bao in one bite.

Baos & Bowls in East Village is a great spot for comforting Chinese rice and noodle dishes. The pork trotter rice is tender and flavorful, and the combo with pan-fried bao is worth it. The “Uncle Beef Noodle” with crispy chicken upgrade is also excellent. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and everything tastes freshly made. Perfect for a quick, satisfying meal in the neighborhood.

A small spot with amazing food. Their beef soup is a must try, flavorful and the beef is so tender. Stir fried noodles is chewy and delicious. One of the best pan fried dumplings/ bun I ever tasted. Staff and service is great. Prices is reasonable.

Amazing beef noodle soup and probably the best pan fried dumplings I’ve tried in the city! Also loved their chewy stir fried noodles. Everything is hot and fresh, and the prices are so reasonable. Their space isn’t too big so I fear them getting more popular but for now I’ll enjoy it as much as I can 😂

🤩 Shanghai Pan-Fried Bao One bite and the savory soup literally bursts out 💦. Fluffy dough, crispy golden bottom, and juicy, flavorful pork filling—every bite comes with that satisfying crunch sound. 🍜 Braised Beef Noodle Soup Packed with real goodness! Huge cuts of tender beef that can cover the whole bowl, slow-braised to perfection. The rich, fragrant broth and springy noodles are a match made in heaven 🥰. 🥢 Shredded Chicken Sesame Noodles Thin noodles coated in aromatic sesame sauce, topped with refreshing cucumber shreds—a must-order for perfect texture and flavor.
