Bao Dumplings & Bao Tea 寶餃寶茶

Newly open Bao Dumpling and Bao Tea at Fair lawn NJ. Nice and simple decor inside. Clean and spacious for the seating. The staff are friendly. Food came out pretty fast. We had chicken dumplings, crab/pork soup dumplings, beef noodle soup and shrimp with lobster sauce. The dough of dumplings are a little too thick. Beef has too much fat. But all are tasty and flavorful. We also got mango fruit tea(?) and milk tea with boba. I’m pretty sure they use brown sugar which is great!!! The boba needs some work. The texture is inconsistent. I got some good ones and hard ones in my drink. Overall some small things need to be work out food-wise. But a good spot for meals or small food and tea.

We came here for lunch during Saturday noon. It was a gorgeous restaurant, looked so new with wonderful wooden interiors around the tables and booths. They had ordering menus in each table, so it was super easy to put numbers next to the items we wanted and hand it over. We ordered the crab & pork soup dumplings which had 6 pieces. Dumplings were good with soft chicken inside and good amount of soup. The beef noodle soup was also good, beef was tender. I loved the shrimp with lobster sauce wok fried dish. Shrimps were huge and lobster sauce was so delicious. The chicken dumplings had a dozen pieces and came with 2 sauces. They were soft and tasty too. But all dumplings had really thick outer layer. Wish it was not as dense. Thinner dough would have tasted much better. I also liked the fru

Dumplings seem homemade, and though some reviews say wrapper is thick, I think it's suitable. The other dumpling are bought. Bubble tea is on point. Other options including noodle and soup are available. I do recommend.

I recently checked out this local Chinese spot and I’m honestly pretty excited about it. It’s great to find a place where you can get all the dishes we usually crave in one convenient spot. The bubble teas here are also very good and refreshing. The pork soup dumplings are tasty and hold their own compared to some of the best I’ve had. The braised beef noodle soup is rich and comforting, while the bao chicken is flavorful and satisfying. Portions are generous for the price, which makes it a solid value overall. The restaurant itself is modern and clean, giving off a nice vibe. Just a heads up though, it’s not really the best spot for parties larger than 6 people. But for smaller groups or casual meals, it’s a winner.

This was such a 10/10 from the second we walked in! We were given such kind treatment and immediate service, it was our first time in, so we had an amazing explanation of the menu and offerings. I’m not really a fruit tea person, but wow the pineapple tea was absolutely delicious! We also ordered the wok-fried noodles and hunan beef and a pork soup dumpling. I love love loved the soup dumplings, I will literally be back for those. So happy they opened a location up in Fair Lawn, or I don’t think I would have known about their other locations! We spoke with the owner and she was so kind, as well as the lovely staff that was there that day.
