Bao and Broth

The bao breading is super fluffy and a delight! I wish they had more traditionally flavored options. Not having a spicy one too is such a miss! It feels like they are having to play to a less refined palate. Hoping try the ramen next time! Definitely get the chili crisp. The spicy cucumbers were great! Just no spice at all.

Tender pork and delicious marinated egg. The broth came separately and was warm and flavorful. I also had some boa buns and they were delicious and soft with great fillings. I would come again!

The second time around I appreciated it more however the noodles were hard. Ive had all kinda of Ramen and the noodles were not aldente soooo… anywho. I had the spicy pork ramen and the pork was very good and I think it had a miso egg in it which I appreciated. My friend got a side of Kimchi and it tasted really good but y’all, that was a .99 cent serving not worth $3. I’d come back here only for the pork. The ramen, I can make better at home.I also had the KFC bun… guys… I wish businesses would stop Americanising something that its already good in its own culture. Just saying….

The bao and broth were good, but honestly, the standout star for us was the pork belly!! I might even venture to say this was the best pork belly I've ever had, it was delicious, melt in your mouth, and still had a good meaty texture and flavor. Highly recommend getting anything with that. The bao was creative and fantastic. I also recommend the lychee tea.

I don't usually post bad reviews while i'm still eating BUT This is my first time at Optimist Hall (out of towner) and Bao and Broth caught my eye as I love ramen. I assumed a place that has Broth on its name would have a good one but I was wrong! I ordered the Spicy Pork Ramen. The pork itself is pretty good but everything else?! Not only is it not spicy but the broth is tasteless. Judging from other reviews I am not the only one who experienced this. Wish I would've read the reviews before ordering but oh well, a waste of 20dls. P.s. pictures are what it looked like before eating and after, when I decided to call it quits for the lack of taste. If the broth isn't good, maybe the Baos are?

I had never heard of bao. I got the 3 slider sized bao . The service was great.I really enjoyed the OG bun a lot. The fried chicken bun was also interesting and tasty. My problem was with the gringo bun. OMG!!! Wayyyyy to spicy hot for me. The strong spice covered up what may have been good ingredients. I did see some tasty Cole slaw in there never again for this girl.

We went to Optimist Hall for the first time and as we walked around this caught our eye so decided to try it out. I got the vegan ramen with a side of kimchi and my friend got the pork belly ramen with a bun side. Everything is to go so when you get your meal it’s separated. The broth is in a separate container, the mains are in a separate one and for me the tofu was in a separate package. I like it better that way you can add as much or as little broth as you want. Overall taste quality was excellent, portion size was good and overall it was a delicious meal

Fantastic Ramen options and a great pick amongst all the food options in Optimist Hall. You cannot go wrong here!
