Very calm atmosphere. Ramen was great. My husband said the dumpling was ok but the bulgogi beef was great.

First time eating at Le Bao! We went in on a very busy Friday night. Posted wait time for food was 30-45 minutes but it actually took closer to an hour. I ordered the classic ramen, and was honestly a little disappointed. The noodles remind me a LOT of instant ramen noodles that are harder or more “al dente”. Not really much flavor. I don’t know if the tonkotsu broth is homemade. It honestly seemed like it could be from a mix that they added a lot of pepper and some other spices too. It definitely did not have that rich, fatty, wholesome taste that good tonkotsu broth has. The pork belly in the ramen though? Amazing! I also tried the pork belly bun and I thought that was phenomenal! I do feel like it is on the pricey side. I would have to eat 5 to really feel full and they are $5 a piece. The Oreo cheesecake dessert was also good!All in all, I would probably not reorder the ramen. I feel like I could make something at home very similar (minus to r pork belly maybe) for cheaper than the $14 bowl. I would definitely come back for the pork belly buns!

Love the curry bao. I could eat 3, but always stop myself at one so I have room for dessert- my son and I fought over the Korean pancake.Vegetarian options: Tofu. Edamame. Omg, the vegetarian curry bao is something to write home about.Dietary restrictions: Good vegetarian Ramen is hard to come by! Theirs is amazing.Kid-friendliness: My 7yo loves this place! He's got a great palette for a kid- edemame and Ramen are his go-to favorites here.

This was our first time trying Le Bao at the request of my sister. Any questions we had were answered quickly and knowledgeablely, and recommendations were made. The portions are comfortably large and very very tasty. We look forward to going back again and again. This is hands down a great Ramen bar to try out!

Very good Asian fusion food at a fair price served in a great atmosphere. Any questions?

A bit of a wait on the food, but well worth it. Spicy chicken ramen was excellent!

I love going to Le Bao for comfort food. The steamed buns are so amazing! I like the ramen as well. They have vegan options which makes this a household favorite for my family. Sometimes the food can be arranged in a sloppy way, but other than that I have always eaten everything I ordered and enjoyed it. The restaurant can get busy which increases wait times but that's okay with me for good food. I try to keep up to date with their hours on social media, but recently they were closed for July 4th and didn't post anywhere that information (including the front door). I really love that it's right next to ACOLA and you can work there and then go over to Le Bao when you get hungry.

Been to this restaurant since it opened.Always come here for the pork Le Bao Classic ramen. It is always been on point in noodle texture, chewyness, mmm goodness.Today (November 2023) I came w the whole family. Though broth is still on-point, but noodle texture, chewyness and how it looks are different (not curly as it used to, now noodles are straight). Noodles are more starchy, and just taste different. Quite disappointing. Taste of the noodle has changed since i was here in Feb 2023The nachos and tacos are still on point delicious
