Thank you for supporting 4sqr and rewarding your customers through it. This place is great. The dumpling soup has an awesome heat to it plus the dumplings are tasty!
Abdulrahman Almunayes 🇰🇼November 10, 2019Smart Restaurant, order, pay & collect your food by your self. Delicious Asian Food. Try the Vegetarian Rice Meal & Ginger with Lemon Juice. Very unique technological environment. Very recommended.
Addicted. Thai curry chxn bao + Spicy Mongolian beef bao. Yummmmmm. Staff nice + will steam these in the morning although breakfast menu is out.- Serious EatsMay 13, 2013The BBQ pork bao is filled with small chunks of sweet and savory Chinese-style barbecue pork with a flavor similar to teryaki.
Time Out ChicagoOctober 19, 2011Pot stickers are fine; better to go with the Thai curry-chicken rice bowl with its yellow curry. Or just stick with the bao, steamed buns stuffed with fillings such as slightly spicy kung pao chicken.- If they have a season Bao for sale, get it. You'll be glad you did, and you'll be sorry when it's gone (especially if it has "banana" in its name).

Social News NetworkAugust 13, 2013BBQ pork bao is the way to go. Also the staff is incredibly nice here.
NelsonJanuary 14, 2013Not quite as cheap or steamy fresh as the real stuff in Hong Kong but oh so close. Couldn't find egg custard bao on the menu which was a real disappointment. Overall, very delicious.
The menu at Wow Bao 225 N Michigan doesn't list steamed dumplings, but if you're willing to wait, and ask nice, we'll make 'em for you
If they have a seasonal bao (e.g. pumpkin in the fall), go for it!
Alec PieperApril 7, 2015Hey Wow Bao, you should join Freebie! It’s pretty rad and the benefits are great for both you and me. Check it out!
Ordered online; quick service-no waiting. I would recommend this location.
- The new quinoa bowls are great! I don't feel over stuffed like usual.
Large coffee (e.g. Grande) is only a$1.76 (w/ tax). Get the dark roast.
MMay 14, 2014Stick to potstickers. Everything else is garbage. Unless you are a fan of cold noodles and such.
The food is excellent, as always, but it's way too loud in here.
