“ Bend the Bao is a foodie fast food dream. A blend of flavors that taste like they were put together by a chef looking to delight patrons with a fresh take on bao. Wish it was a franchise. If you like fun flavor combos, I recommend you try it. Also serves yummy boba. ”
“ I am so sorry I forgot to do this review a while back. This was around April 17 2024 - April 19 2024 (specifically the 17 around lunch time.) For trying bao for the first time, it was pretty good! But the thing that made the experience really great was the very sweet register person with the glasses and the chill chef. My friend and I couldn't stop talking about our experience. It then became a highlight our day. Especially because my friend and I were just walking around the City Walk. I really need to find a place up here in NC that serve bao, I would totally eat it again! Again, the person at the register, was giving CFA service quality. But BETTER! ”
“ Blown away!!!! I ordered the veggie bao and oh my godddddd. I had to go back to the window to order more. INSANELY delicious! This will be my go to any time I go to city walk. ”
“ Literally go every time in universal, kimchi is the favorite but the pork belly has more flavor. Must try it all if possible. Also u get to see them make it thru the glass window where bar seating is available. ”
“ Wow, the food was delicious! I regret not trying the dumplings. I ordered this meal to go, after a long day at the park I wanted to try some new and different at our hotel. The pork belly was absolutely delicious, it was uniquely seasoned but soo good, my picky nine-ager even liked it. Duck was surprisingly good, it wasn’t chewy it was tender. Shrimp was also very very good well seasoned and the garnish compliments very well. The steamed bread they used was my favorite it had a hint of sweetness but not over powering or cooked it just compliment and taste very good with different spices and flavors. Also, my daughter has the mango bubble it was good nothing extravagant to brag about like the mini “taco”. ”
“ This is a tiny little shop upstairs in the CityWalk near the Burger King, just above the movie theater. The food was great, the buns were super soft. I had a couple dietary restrictions, so some of the buns ended up being a little bland, but that was my fault. We got the shrimp, the duck, the pork belly, the brisket, and the crab cake. They were all very good. I'd eat all of them again. The shrimp was super flavorful. The brisket and the pork belly were similar in flavor and both were good. The duck was very tender. The crab cake was tasty. We waited maybe 10 minutes. It was good for a quick bite. I'd go again. ”
“ Simply delicious. Found this place after comming out from the parks and it was better that I expected. The pork belly is really tender and the brisket was really tasty too. If you are on the area you should really try them, good price and great flavor. ”
“ This place is awesome! To start, the food was great! We were looking for something a little different from the usual fast food in the parks and this fit the expectations perfectly! Really nice flavors and not too messy, filled perfectly! Now I have to rave about my customer service experience. Never have I been to a restaurant that was so good with allergies before. When I went up to order, the person at the counter asked me if I had any allergies. Normally I have to bring it (peanut allergy) to their attention! After that, while waiting for my food, they asked me if it was okay if my food was cooked in the same oven that the peanuts were roasted in. After that, while picking up a friend’s food, they asked me to be careful handling it since one of their items had peanuts on it. My food was marked with a small colored flag/toothpick compared to my friends and it was also noted multiple times on the receipt! tl;dr: Awesome food! Fantastic customer service! If you have food allergies or dietary restrictions, this is a great place to eat!! ”
