Bao Shi Yi

Really good place for its dumplings and hand pulled noodles! Throughout the meal I can only hear one phrase from my wife “mmmm! I love this place” the soup dumplings were spot on, the flavour of the beef noodle soup is excellent, with a slight herbal hint to the taste buds. The food is cooked fresh and hot perfect for the cool weather! The soya milk is pure and you can tell it’s high quality! Will definitely bring our family back here! Agreed with others on the steamed buns to give it more flavour and more filling. But the rest of the food we ordered were excellent! (It’s a quiet restaurant and I do hope it stays open because it’s hard to find good dumpling places in Houston!) chef, keep up the great work!

Bao Shi Yi presents a mixed experience. The restaurant's ambiance is aesthetically pleasing, with thoughtfully designed decor that adds to the dining atmosphere. The attention to detail in creating a visually appealing space is commendable and contributes positively to the overall dining experience. On the culinary front, the dumplings at Bao Shi Yi are undoubtedly a highlight. Each bite is a flavorful journey, with well-balanced fillings and expertly crafted wrappers. The menu showcases a variety of options, catering to different taste preferences, and the quality of ingredients is apparent. However, the positive aspects of the dining experience are somewhat overshadowed by a couple of notable drawbacks. The cleanliness of the lobby falls short of expectations, creating a less-than-ideal first impression for patrons. Maintaining a clean and welcoming entrance is crucial for establishing a positive atmosphere, and this area could benefit from improvement. Furthermore, the staff's demeanor is a point of concern. Unfortunately, some encounters with the staff have been marked by rudeness, which detracts from the overall hospitality of the establishment. Polite and attentive service is an essential aspect of a successful dining experience, and addressing this issue could significantly enhance customer satisfaction. In conclusion, Bao Shi Yi offers a delightful culinary journey with its delectable dumplings and appealing aesthetics. However, attention to cleanliness in the lobby and improvement in staff courtesy are areas that, if addressed, could elevate the overall dining experience and leave a more positive impression on customers.

Came across this quaint little restaurant on our way back from the airport. The Spicy Chicken Wrap and Mushroom, Bean Curd & Vegetable Buns were flavorful, the texture of the buns were soft and fluffy. However, the Soup Dumplings should not be served on a piece of paper since the wrappers were all stuck onto the paper which caused the dumplings to break and the soup overflowed. We highlighted it to the female staff who immediately made a new order and placed the soup dumplings individually in a different container. Clean restaurant, cool ambiance with outdoor seating option, frozen buns available for sale but there is room for improvement in terms of the staff’s friendliness. In addition, the female staff seemed to be pretty occupied on her mobile phone. Would love to try their New Orleans Chicken Buns next time!

A great place to get your dumpling fix on. The little pork buns were delicious. The meat was flavorful & juicy - you could taste the hint of ginger and onions. Also definitely get the fried popcorn chicken and Chinese style hamburger; they are packed full of flavor.

It's a Cute small place, Clean. We went about 12pm on a Monday and there was nobody there. We were the only customer. We ordered the Chasiu Bao and Pork Bao. The Pork was bland, not much taste. The Chasiu was just OK. As for the Drinks we got MilkTea and Mango Slush. I got a less sweet MilkTea and it still was a little sweet and the boba was still a little hard, but still taste ok. The Mango Slush is good. Prices are average for these types of places. Overall I wouldn't go out of my way to go there.
