Avoid at all costs. Bao and potstickers tasted frozen, bad flavor, and cold. The portion was tiny, and the "teriyaki" was similar to a gravy/shredded chicken in a frozen meal. Pretty sure this is a ghost kitchen out of Sizzler. I couldn't finish it and it was really expensive on Doordash based on location.

I accidentally ordered from this place thinking it was the cute dumpling shop we like. Unfortunately for me, it most certainly was not. Apparently Wow Bao is a nationwide chain, one I'd argue is only acceptable in a food court in a dying mall, in a dying town where no Chinese person had set foot.I bit into the first dumpling and thought, "what in the fast food nation hellscape is this *ish". This food tasted like flaccid huevos. It tasted like wet gym socks and regrets. It tasted like Taco Bell had won the restaurant wars. It was giving "I ordered dim sum on Wish.com and this is what I got". It was what Trump would serve to impress Chinese heads of state. It tastes like a rich and storied food culture met a board room full of cartoon villains and unchecked capitalism. Oh wait, that last one is probably exactly what did happen. If you have ANY love for Chinese food, Chinese culture, or humanity at large, stay away from this place.

Terrible food. I can't imagine that anyone would be proud to serve soggy baos, flavorless dumplings, and disgusting orange slurry with boiled chicken. I wouldn't feed this stuff to my worst enemy.

Bao is amazing.. only thing, it's in a Sizzler. And you can't make a phone order. Has to be through grub hub or some shit. But foods good, just annoying to order

Well, I was in the mood for some Chinese food, and I thought I would try someplace different. So I ordered from this place using the Grubhub.GrubHub driver was quick efficient and the food got here very hot indeed. And he followed the directions on finding my place thank you very much.And now to the food I ordered six steamed buns..... Plus what I thought was going to be a large bowl of Kung pow chicken.The steam buns were just so so..They had different flavors that I had not had before. .. teriyaki chicken, and Mongolian beef ,,,They were properly cooked what the flavors were very disappointing. The teriyaki chicken was not as sweet as I thought and then I'm going to be was not very spicy or tasty at all. ...I paid $11 for this Kung pow chicken bowl. It was more rice than it was Kung pow chicken. ... Plus, it was one of the nastiest tasting Kung pow chicken I have ever had.... I was expecting it should be hot and spicy. It was more tart and sour and hot altogether one of the worst kung pow I have ever had.....I would never go back for it. Plus the size of it and what I paid for it really sucked.

food was cold and just okay, no one said anything when I walked in so I said hi to the man putting together orders. he didn't even respond so I grabbed the bag with my name and said thank you and all he said back was "is that yours?" and wouldn't even look at me. don't go here

Horrible Food. I order the Kung Pao Bowl, I received a bowl that wasn't even on the menu. I have no idea what I was given, I would never recommend this place to anyone!!

The kung pao chicken bowl barely had any chicken and had ingredients in it that were not listed on the app. I just wanted some spicy chicken man. It was not spicy. I also got the chicken dumplings and it lichrally had no flavor likeeee. Tastes like frozen meals from the grocery store. Major L for wow bao. Worse Chinese food than Panda Express. Weak sauce.

I never order without reading reviews usually but I completely forgot and ordered first from Doordash. Food came and the only edible thing was the potstickers which were good, not great but edible. The Bao was dry, not very tasteful and the dumplings were slightly slimey

The potstickers were very tasty. We loved them. But, this was not the same for the rest of our order. The chicken teriyaki bowls actually are more of a rice and teriyaki sauce entree with just 2-3 small child size pieces of chicken. I can't believe the portions we got, it was an absolute ripoff. The Cheeseburger Bao is disgusting, not one person in the family could eat them. The pork bao was okay taste-wise, and the teriyaki chicken bao was so-so. There was hardly any filling in any of the Baos. We paid too much money for this disappointment. Even though we liked the potstickers, we won't order from here again...everything else was a disappointment besides the potstickers. I will say, that I liked their to-go packaging. We ordered from DoorDash and their 4.2 rating of this restaurant is a lie!

Poorly made. Staff is terrible. Specifically the hostess with black hair she was so rude
