    Everything we ordered was amazing. We tried the diy veggie rolls, the pork belly Baos, the mushroom garlic fried rice and the creme brule cheesecake. The service was great, the cocktails were on point and the server even gifted us the dessert because it was our anniversary. They went above and beyond. We tried the tap room this time but will definitely come back and try the tea room menu.

    Hi Yomarie, thank you for celebrating your anniversary with us! We're so glad you enjoyed everything, from the food and cocktails to the thoughtful service. It’s great to hear that our team helped make your night special. We’d love to welcome you back soon to experience the tea room menu as well!

    The endless dumplings were great and the green beans are so tasty! The music and vibes are so fun as well. But our waiter Matthew was so rude and made us feel really uncomfortable. For a nice restaurant, you’d expect a higher level of professionalism in the way they treat and talk to their guests.
    Bao BrewhouseResponded 1 day ago
    Hi Amanda, we're glad you enjoyed the dumplings, green beans, and atmosphere, but we're sorry to hear about your service experience. We'd like to learn more about this, if you wouldn't mind, please email us at manager@ baobrewhouse so we can follow up. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for a better experience.

    Not very good for the price. Food was OK but $80 for three shared plates is too much.

    Hi David, we appreciate your feedback. We strive to offer high-quality dishes and a memorable dining experience, but we understand that value is important. We’ll continue working to ensure our offerings meet expectations. Thank you for giving us a try!

    The food was SO good, and the staff was very nice but our waiter didn’t really check on us and would disappear for long periods of time.

    We went on a Monday, only downstairs open. Good service but limited on selections of food items and drinks were avail. Asian fusion, still should have hot tea selections or perhaps just hot water. But overall it was a good finding
    Bao BrewhouseResponded 6 days ago
    Thank you for your feedback! Our downstairs and upstairs spaces offer different experiences, with unique menus and service styles. We’re sorry if this wasn’t what you were expecting, but we’d love to welcome you back to our tea room upstairs, where you can enjoy a more traditional dining experience with an elevated menu and an extensive selection of teas. We appreciate your thoughts and hope to see you again soon!

    Been wanting to come here for a while, got a chance when planning a dinner with some dear friends/professional colleagues that was visiting town for a conference- they were stoked and loved the atmosphere and food!

    The food here was amazing! And the wait staff were very friendly. My partner and I came for our anniversary and they gave us a sweet card and complimentary champagne. I loved the decorations in here too. The one problem was just how loud the music was. The music was so so loud that it took away from the vibe of the restaurant. Like maybe they were trying to seem more casual with the music, but the price is expensive and the food is delicious, so I think with quieter music they would complete their “luxury vibe”. Genuinely would have been 5 star if the music volume was lower!
    Bao BrewhouseResponded on 26 February 2025
    Hi Trinity, thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled you and your partner had a great anniversary celebration with us and that you enjoyed the food, service, and little touches we put into making special occasions memorable. We truly appreciate your feedback about the music—while a lively atmosphere is part of our identity on busier nights, we always want our guests to feel comfortable and enjoy their experience to the fullest. We'll absolutely take this into consideration and be more mindful of how volume levels impact the overall vibe. We hope to welcome you back soon for another great night!
