We have wanted to go to Bao Wow for a long time. We finally walked into the little bao joint and made our order.We ordered a gua bao and a kimchi bulgogi bao. Then we sat down at the high table in the dark restaurant. Very quickly, the two bao came out in a cardboard tray and we dug in.The first observation was that the clam shell bun was way too thick. It was stodgy and soggy and did not hold the contents well. Having had gua bao in Taipei, this one was no comparison. The pork was OK. Fa
We ordered a gua bao and a kimchi bulgogi bao. Then we sat down at the high table in the dark restaurant. Very quickly, the two bao came out in a cardboard tray and we dug in.
The first observation was that the clam shell bun was way too thick. It was stodgy and soggy and did not hold the contents well. Having had gua bao in Taipei, this one was no comparison. The pork was OK. Fatty and soft - it chewed well. It did not have enough pickle or peanut and had more of a five spice flavour from the braised pork, rather than a nice sugary, peanutty note.
The kimchi bulgogi was a sloppy mess. The beef was ok - nothing special. The kimchi was a sweet one and could have done with being spicier and sharper to give the bao more character.
Both of the bao fell flat. We expected such great things, but we ended up feeling disappointed. They were not terrible, but they did not excite.
