BaYao Cafe 伯友茶記

Fun, energetic atmosphere with a great, unique selection of Hong Kong styled dishes. Odd that there was only one HK French Toast option which did not come with condensed milk but delicious nonetheless. Pineapple bun was crispy, warm, and flavorful and paired well with the savory ham and egg. Filling and decently priced.

Pleasantly surprised with the interior. It does get really busy during peak hours but staff is friendly and accommodating. Decent portions, but Sorrowful Rice seemed a bit smaller in comparison to the other dishes though. Dishes ordered: -Black Truffle Scrambled Egg Toast -Sorrowful Rice -Sizzling Pork Combo -Curry Pork Rice -Crispy Pork Cutlet w/ Fried Rice

Loved this place the moment we stepped in. It was quite crowded when we first got there but I took it as a great sign. We were seated quickly and the food actually tasted like heaven. Everything was so delectable and is a must try. I’m convinced that there is nothing bad on the menu. I ordered to go the next day because the food was so good and their to go bag is so high quality in which it keeps all of the heat in, showing that they care about the quality of their food even in the comfort of your own home.

Decided to check out this new spot for Saturday brunch. Super busy but it’s very easy to get on the waitlist & the wait wasn’t over long. Parking is tough but I was extremely lucky and nabbed a spot in the tiny lot out front. Service was fast and friendly. Food came out crazy fast but we definitely ordered the popular items. The garlic beef spaghetti was delicious & really enjoyed the rice rolls and fried chicken. Big fan of the iced peach tea too! Very cool decor and fun atmosphere. It’s also very family friendly if you come with children. Personally loved the food and service and will be back!

I don’t usually write reviews, but the char siu & egg rice at BaYao deserves a shout-out. You can tell right away how much care goes into this dish. The char siu is made from top-quality pork shoulder—perfectly balanced between lean and fatty, tender without being greasy, and full of that classic Cantonese sweetness. The fried egg is another highlight. The edges are crisp, the yolk still soft and shimmering, almost like a shy little wink on the plate. Break it open and let it run over the char siu… pure magic. The rice is honestly addictive. Every grain soaks up the char siu sauce, making each bite rich, fragrant, and impossible to stop eating. And the greens on the side? They do more than just sit there—they reset your palate just enough to get you ready for the next wave of flavor. This “comfort-killer” rice bowl lives up to its name. If you’re anywhere near Boston and craving something that hits both the stomach and the soul, this is the one.

Place is so cool. Love the decor and trendiness of the dishes and drinks! Looks better than it tastes though. Milk tea taste like coffee, chicken pineapple bun sandwich tasted like an American fried chicken sandwich. Definitely fun but more for the experience than for the taste.

The food was very delicious, reminded me of my childhood. Only negative was that my son wanted extra pain fish balls with his soup but they didn’t want to make just a side order of them. It was packed also so prepare to wait.

I went there for the first time earlier this week and I had told come back three days later for my birthday. I love the food! The decorations is so fun and visually stimulating. Every single item I've had (not all depicted here) was delicious. I live on Malden, so the fact that I came down all the way to Quincy twice in a week should tell you what I think of this place. I'm still not done trying all their menu!
