Baos were tasty and made within 10 mins. I liked the crab bao and ork katsu the best- likely bc they were crunchy! One person serving size could be about 3 baos

Oh my word! This is some of the best food I've ever had in my life! That softshell crab sandwich is going to knock your socks off! I just could not stop eating it. I literally left and came back to get another one. The flavor on the sandwich is incredible. The customer service is splendid and the price points are wonderful. They recommended the chicken wings and Lord have mercy!!! I was shocked at the amount of flavor and the size of the wings. Do not skip this place in Houston, check it out.

So this isn't my first visit but it's been at least 2 maybe 3 years. Everything pretty much seems the same. Prices didn't go up and it was clean and inviting. I was just needing a lite snack for to go while on break, so I didn't opt for baos. Instead I got one of my old favs the tuna tacos with avocado sauce. Let me tell you they did not skimp on the tuna and it was nice and spicy. However, if spice isn't your thing then the avocado sauce that comes with it cools it right on down. Tacos were ready within 5 min and were chilled perfectly. Shout out to them for remaining consistent and not price gouging guest.

This place never disappoints. I've been going here for years and am always happy when I leave. From quick service to consistently delicious meals, Fat Bao comes through. There's plenty of seating and nice high tables with stools that I like. My go-to is the spicy Thai bao with the fat fries. There's something magical in the sauce on the spicy Thai. The chicken is so succulent and pairs so well with the soft bao. The fries also tows the line between western and eastern flavors perfectly. And if you're in the mood for dessert, you can't go wrong with the ice cream bao or Nutella bao!

Haven't been to a Fat Bao since their Sugar Land location. I've been wanting to go back bc I love the fluffy white bao buns, same baos are they use for Peking duck. My boyfriend and I shared 4 baos (Memphis, duck, crab daddy and panko fish) and onion rings. All the baos were delicious and they do not skimp out on the proteins. Onion rings were delicious but I wish they gave more dipping sauce. Plenty of parking available and the restaurant was clean and tidy.

My friends and I came here for dinner and had a bunch of baos. We also had some fries and fried avocado. The fried avocado and the fat fries were really good. I would pass on the Parmesan fries. They were kind of soggy. New York raw salmon and they tell you that when you order it it's kind of confusing that in the description it's smoked salmon so keep that in mind. Three baos is enough for one person. We didn't wait long for the food. It is self serve so you order at the front, take a table, and get your own water/drinks like a regular fast food joint. The staff were nice. The food is good and the bao/bread is very fluffy. The place is clean and the tables were not sticky. Parking is free and out front. But the parking spots at the door is kind of on a hill. So we parked a row away. Theres also a few exit points in the lot if you want to avoid having to make weird u turns. (One is hidden behind the Pickering mark/khyber grill) .

A muuuust try for bao lovers in the Houston area! This cozy fast casual restaurant has a large variety of bao buns and snacks that you are sure to find something you like. The baos are a great size, I was so full after having 2, and the ingredients were fresh and flavorful. The duck bao is my favorite! The staff is so helpful and can answer any question you may have a give you recs if you are in between a few. Service is fast and we got our food way quicker than we thought!

Bao Yao Shi all boarded up. No surprise there tbh. Where to go? Fat Bao just down the street did not disappoint. The Crab Daddy. Always a fan favorite in our house. Crunchy. Spicy. Creamy. Nom nom nom.

Came here for the first time! I had two tofu bao and one banana Nutella bao. The foods were good and price was good but I wish they increase more variation for vegetarian and that would be awesome! Nice chill environment! Will drop by sometimes again.

This place was legit! The buns were super flavorful and a good amount of food. The onion rings were okay, a little too greasy for me but a nice crunch. I loved the soft shell crab bun. Yum. Lightly fried with a nice crunch. Everyone was friendly and attentive. It's counter service so there aren't any servers. The restaurant was clean. I had to remind the staff to stock the bathroom with tp but they got on it as soon as I said something. Definitely going back!
