Wow! I got 3 different buns to try and loved them all. Can't think of anything to add to that...wonderful food, cool spot to watch Mission Beach traffic go by. The fried dessert buns were an interesting and delicious take on bao buns that I've never seen before. Highly recommend a stop by here....

Bao Beach is a good option to grab a small bite/snack. I got the carnitas, karage, bulgogi, and shrimp. My favorite was the bulgogi. Their bao breading is soft and made correctly. Not sure why but the order took a while to come out.

Had the char sui bao. I wished the bao would've been perhaps a little thicker, as mine split, so it turned into a legit sandwich. The meat itself was flavorful and the pickled veggies were good to cut the fat but there was a bunch of red cabbage on the side that I wasn't sure what to do with. They would've been great pickled to add even more crunch but they were just raw. It is pricey for the amount.

Staff is very kind and the food came out very fast. The menu is simple with creative fusion quick bites. I highly recommend getting their baos no matter what if you come here

Came here on a random weekday because otherwise we'd never find parking. Tried a bunch of their baos but my favorites have got to be the shrimp and kalbi beef. I've had better baos, but it was pretty good

Food was good but the wait took a long time even though there was barely anyone there. The baos were soft and delicious. Would I come here again? Maybe.

In my opinion, the best Poke Bowl I’ve had in San Diego.

These were okay. The buns were pretty pricey; each one was $4. I ordered 3, which was just enough for me (I am 120 and 5'2) and it was $12... Not a $12 meal... They do give you a "free" drink if you buy 3 bao buns. I recommend the fries a bit more just cuz they are good and more filling at $8 for the order. This place was okay, not bad at all, but I just won't be returning, there's way too many more places to explore. Also, the place is tiny. We sat right by the bathroom(hard not to, because the place is TINY, if you are not at the window bar, you're by the bathroom) and I kept getting grossed out when someone would go in and out of the bathroom...
