Bao by Kaya - 570 Lexington

Solid portion size for the price. The pork belly bao was good, but I was hoping for more depth of flavor. It had a basic salty taste. The popcorn chicken was fried amazingly but it didn’t have much seasoning on it. Maybe it’s because it comes with sauce on the side. Overall, I like this spot and would definitely go again if I’m in the area!

Really good food at an insanely low price for the big apple. We both got the Szechuan Bao and Pork Belly. I preferred the Szechuan. The combo deal is absolutely worth it and if you’re hungry make sure to get it with the side of popcorn chicken. They’re pretty large.

Cute stall with loads of bao options! I thought the pork was fatty, but I really liked the tofu one. It was delish! 2 baos + some popcorn chicken is more than enough for a person. Popcorn chicken is very nice. I like that the baos are very snack size and price. $5.50 each, substantial addition to any day.

Really good stuff, came here around lunchtime, prime holiday and the place was packed, their line was long but they were dishing out food like it was their job. Boy they delivered. I ordered two fried tofu baos and also their spring rolls, I got my order after 5-10 mins, really quick. I also devoured my meal. The spring rolls were filled with a bunch of yummy veg and the bao had a really nice texture coming from the chili sauce, the crisp red onion and the crunch of the tofu, would definitely check this place out more often

I stopped by briefly to try the pork belly bao. The pricing was reasonable at 5.50, and the flavor was pretty good. The pork belly was nicely done. Would have liked it slightly larger, but I get it. It's Manhattan and you would have to pay a lot more. I definitely would recommend the bao here.
