Sign in to reviewHeard few people talked about the new Vietnamese's Steamed Bun/Banh Bao, at Banh Bao T.P. I had to try it and went there to get some. The service was pleasant and crowded. The pricing is little high for the small version compared to the original Steamed Bun. The taste was ok and not great. I still preferred for the original from few places I knew and the one my Dad made is lot better than the new version Banh Bao. I guess this is a trend, but it is not for me. I like to air fryer it after the steamed Bun, taste more crunchy and better.
If you're looking for some good banh baos, you can't go wrong with TP! Not only do they have a variety of baos but they also have them hot and ready for you to grab on the go. And if they don't, they'll heat up a fresh batch for you. Dropped by this morning and I appreciated their quick and friendly service. I had to wait less than ten minutes to receive a freshly steamed batch of bbq pork banh baos. Definitely hit the spot when i devoured it right after. Covid-19 has been rough on a lot of businesses so I appreciate their efforts and friendly customer service. Until next time!
I ate here 5 years ago, almost very week when I was a student, the bun was very good from texture of the bun to the taste of pork filling inside back to those days. I then moved to LA so I did not come back the area much, until today my family from Vietnam came to visit us in L.A. They wanted some Banh Bao for breakfast, I came and bought 1 box ( pork) at $14.00. Cashier was very pleasant and nice, lovely. Got home and ate 2 buns as attached picture. Such a disappointment, my family asked me what kind of bun they were!? I tried and omg the dough was sticky and wet, seem it was not cooked well or something I am not sure but it like you are chewing a starch in your mouth. The pork filling is still ok. We decided to eat the filling only. My wonder how come a very good authentic Banh Bao like TP can go down to the hill with such terrible quality buns like that. Not mention bun color and shape is not banh bao but like an ugly broken mochi ball with meat inside. Disappointed and frustrated at same time.
Always to go 1 - 2 banh bao special with quail egg or salted egg yolk to bring back Bay Area. Their banh bao is the best in the town. Great amount of bread & meat. First time tried banh bao chien (deep dried version) $1.50 each. It was crispy outside but not oily & sweet savory inside. Soooooo good. Price seemed to be increased but worth it. Special with quail egg 1 box $14.50. Salted egg yolk 1 box $15.50.
You definitely have to come here for the deep fried banh bao! They can provide the service to any of the filling types. Small little place but food is absolutely delicious!
