BAO (CMU)

"Food was great and authentic! Service was good. The homemade pork soup dumplings were incredible!"

"I recommend trying the pork soup dumplings and the water celery with tofu. I do NOT recommend the basil chicken, as it has too many bones, making it difficult to eat, and it doesn’t have much meat. Grapes fruit tea with milky foam is was alright 2.5/5. It was too plain, and the milky foam is not as good as other places."

"Meal break in between #CarnegieMuseums in Pittsburg. Great Taiwanese influenced food at #BAOII(CMU) Beverages: my husband got his Zodiac Taurus inspired drink of #mangoCoconut Mango slush with a twist of coconut milk topped with fresh mango. I got the love of Chocolate inspired #ChocoTreasureSmoothie Chocolate base slush blended with whole milk and topped with homemade whipped cream and Oreo crumbs. Both were wonderful drink choices that came in a great looking cup. Appetizer: Handmade #PorkSoupDumplings this was my first time having this type of dumpling. There is literally soup in the dumpling so when you bite into them the soup bursts in your mouth, an explosion of flavor. Mains: Pork Singapore style thin noodles. While not a traditional #SingaporeNoodle dish it was very tasty and I do love noodles. #ThaiwanBasilChicken this was a very tasty, spicy, dish that I’d been looking for since I first had it years ago. The dark meat chicken still had the bones in it which added some richness to the sauce. I Also love the Thai basil and hot chilis. A great food find close to Campus. #Handmade fresh food #BAOII(CMU)"

"I asked what the white sauce was & whether it had milk or dairy in it & no one understood or could tell me yes, no, or give me ingredients that made sense. I asked to sub the rice for veggies & they said they couldn’t do it & that a veggie substitute would be a $3 up-charge & that the rice is “free.” I hate how they claim to be “healthy” yet nothing was healthy about my dish of deep fried breaded tofu with rice & zero greens. This is not a healthy balanced meal. My friend got the beef with rice & the beef was undercooked & very chewy with not enough seasoning. Pretty bland. No condiments on the tables to help either. And the service wasn’t good. Would not order here again."

"Came here with friends for a late lunch and ordered 5 dishes. The dishes we got were good, if a little bland. The noodles definitely needed chili sauce. Each dish came out 1 by 1 and there was a long wait between each dish"
