Jack's Bao

The braised beef noodle soup was excellent and very filling. I was very hungry and left overly full! The beef, noodles, broth = all great!

Addiction at its finest. I tried Jacks Bao as a native San Francisco girl because I miss dumplings and the like. Currently South County does not have a lot of options for amazing Street style Food. I am in love. I used to have an aversion to all things hot. Then i tried the Red Chili Oil WonTon. Oh my god. I get this with one of the soups. I have had the braised beef and the spicy pork. Both are out of this world. I'd eat this every single day if I could. I order it through DoorDash with my Dash Pass and it works out fairly economical for lunch. They have a 22 lunch special that has fried wonton and spicy pork soup and a soda. It works out great for me. My only wish is that they would put a few more dimsum dishes on the menu. Really amazing. So Excited that they are in Apto

Was excited to see this Bao place open. Had high expectations, maybe too high? Ordered Steamed Pork Bao (3 pieces). They were average, I've had better from 7/11 in Japan. Ordered Steamed Pork Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings), no black vinegar 🤯 and they serve them without a spoon! Never saw that before, I lost my soup from a few of them before asking for a spoon and them giving me a shovel sized spoon. They tasted OK, very thin wrappers so they broke easily. Doesn't feel authentic to me. For my money (not cheap) I'll drive to Special Noodle in Santa Cruz.

My husband and I tried Jack's for the first time based on a recommdation from a friend. We did take away and very much enjoyed our dinner. The vegetarian options were delicious, the bao light and not sticky with plenty of flavorful filling. We will definitely be back!

My whole family (including my picky toddler) loves this place. We are so happy it’s reopened. Our favorites are the pork baos (great for kids), the chili oil wantons, the spicy pork noodle soup, and the braised beef noodle soup.
