Roast pork buns are delicious -- one of the best.
pork buns & green tea mochi a must!
Spicy pork buns are a MUST, get two orders
Obnoxiously long waits. The fish, the bao, the Taiwanese chicken and the sausage are the best options hands down. Avoid the scallion pancakes.
Pork Steamed Bao with seasoned hoisin is a must!
The Painted Hills Ribeye Bao Platter is a amazing dish! Free-range ribeye cooked to perfection, steamed buns, & local vegetables.
Very fun atmosphere with interesting and tasty food. I really liked the pork buns and the birds nest dessert.
Get the open-faced pork bun. Trust me.
Ceviche, fried rice, pork buns, and amazing deserts.
The bao is tasty as hell - same for the drinks. Really enjoy the intimate vibe at the bar.
Drinks.... Bao's... Atmosphere.. Great place.
Cool bartenders, yummy spicy chicken skewers and meat baos (buns)!
so far, best soup dumplings in this town
pork soup dumpling is a must!!
Get the soup dumplings!
Pandas are AMAZING! Bao Bao is adorable. He's hiding in the tree.
A must see and has an indoor exhibit for hot summer days. Only one of 4 Zoos in the US which has Pandas.
Go see the red pandas instead! They are smarter, more beautiful, and more active.
Delicious take on Chinese-style ramen and good soup dumplings! Definitely a place worth coming back to try the different flavors and a good deal for the Chinatown area.
We can never resist ordering some Soup Dumplings and neither should you!
The Gua Bao is made with tender, succulent, pork, hoisin, scallions, & cucumbers.
Authentic handmade dumplings and xiaolongbao. Highly recommend. Also recommend the beef noodle soup -- fresh noodles, tender beef and flavourful broth. No longer need to go to Rockville!
Dope dumplings! Great prices, huge portions, sooooo delicious.
Nice dumplings, big portions.
My favorite ramen in DC. The steamed buns are awesome and the warm chocolate chip cookies with miso dipping sauce cannot be missed.
lots of talk about needing to add more noodles. forget that part but add pork cheek and definitely get the steamed buns to start. amazing.
The field chicken steamed buns are a must. Perfectly crisp with a touch of sweetness and heat, in a soft pillowy bun they are amazing.
Ramen, bao
Shoyou Ramen and Bao l
I like this Shoyu more then everywhere in DC. Great happy hour till 20:00 on weekdays and till 17:00 on weekends!
You must start your meal with the delicious buns. Japanese braised pork, cucumbers, carrots, lettuce, & spicy teriyaki sauce on a bao bun.
Hip spot that's a little loud but fun vibe. Lazaretto was great, as were the dumplings, pork buns, chicken Katszu and ramen. Only thing we didn't like was "the cure."
The house namesake Chaplin ramen, the super garlicky stamina spicy ramen and the Chaplin A.S.S. spicy sour are all great. Your belly is guaranteed to be fully satisfied no matter which you choose. Read more.
You have to try the food, it's amazing!! Everything is fresh, delicious and creative. My top favorites are the roast chicken ravioli, pork steam buns, spaghetti & meatballs & croque madame (brunch).
So this could be the best food I've ever had in my life. Every bite was like an orgasm for my taste buds. Mac & Cheese = heaven. BBQ Pork Buns = Nirvana. Burger = OMFG.
Didn't try any bourbon, but the food was overpriced/bad. My companion's BBQ steamed pork buns tasted like soggy biscuits & didn't have much meat. My burger was salty & accompanied by lackluster fries.
Get the sweet bean steam bun!
The seasonal cocktail with Vinho Verde and Aperol is delicious and refreshing
Green Curry noodle dish was fantastic. Mango salad was excellent as well.
Menu is a bit cuckoo and pricey - Not really a 'tap house' kind of menu, but I appreciate the attempt to elevate. The crispy oyster steamed bun is really good!
A wide array of draft beers. Solid grub -from salads to flatbreads. Delicious appetizers
Good oisters but we wont back after finding a dead bug in a drink
Steamed pork buns are always a must!
This is one of the best Chinese places in DC. Get the Sichuan specialties -- dry fried chicken with hot pepper, beef in tender hot sauce, etc. fried dumplings delicious.
Their ma po tofu is definitely the best in dc
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
