This restaurant is the definition of a hidden gem and is hands down the best food I’ve ever eaten. Everyone needs to come here at least once, so they can understand how truly incredible it is.
All of their dumplings and wontons are absolutely amazing, and the minced beef noodles is a particular favorite entree of mine. I also love the atmosphere of the place, it’s so inviting and warm. The employees and family are so welcoming and kind, and I’ve never had a less than exceptional meal here. Sure, the prices are a bit high, but it’s more than worth the price. I’d pay double what they ask for if I get to eat the delicious pork wontons with chili oil again. Not to mention their awesome service station with all the minced garlic and chili you’ll ever need!
Growing up in a Filipino/Taiwanese household, I was initially disappointed in the diversity of cuisine here in West Lafayette, along with the quality of food provided at most Asian restaurants around here. However, Bao Dumpling has truly exceeded all of my expectations and reminded me of home, not only satisfying my stomach but giving me a warm feeling of peace. Bao truly makes each item with love, and you can definitely feel it in their food.
I love this place so much and regret not finding it sooner during my time here in West Lafayette! If I ever come back, it would only be to enjoy an amazing meal from this establishment again. There’s truly nothing like it. Wherever I go next, I hope to see you there someday, Bao Dumpling family!
