Curry beef is my fav, portions are small but the good thing about that is that you can try multiple different flavors. Can't get enough of the curry beef though!
This place was so enjoyable! I do not eat meat and i really enjoyed the tofu option which can be easily switched to vegan minus the mayo based sauce. I would love some more veggie options on the menu but they were able to sub tofu for most of the meats. My boyfriend really enjoyed the meat baos he ordered including the fried chicken and the pork belly. My tofu bao and spicy edamame are pictured below :)
Awesome place for lunch. Nice little gem here.
The different bun types they have here are awesome.
Check out their website and you can see what they have.
The place is small so get there early.
The service was good and the place clean.
Food was made fresh! Fast! Taste great! Staff was very nice as I showed up 30 minutes before closing and had a million questions about the menu.
One visit and you are hooked! I am obsessed with their Fat Fries: hand cut and topped with cilantro, onions, kimcheenaise, sriracha and I always ads Bulgogi on top. In addition you've got to try the Bulgogo Bao if you're still hungry after the fries and the Smores Bao if you're craving something sweey
Tucked in one of the strip malls, Fat Bao surprises. This strip mall has quite a few interesting places to eat. Order a counter and the food comes to you. The places gets crowded at lunch time.

Special, hip, cheap, fast. Popular food truck turned brick and mortar, serving Asian menu products taco style on baos, or airy, steamed buns
Fat Bao was great! It was hard to choose what to try since everything on the menu looked good. I ordered the Yummy Byrd, Spicy Thai and the Crab Daddy. My friend ordered the Fish and the Bulgogi. We ordered the Crab Daddy and the Bulgogi upon recommendation from the staff, however they were our least favorite. The Bulgogi was too sweet and the Crab Daddy didn't have enough flavor. The other three were perfect though. I didn't know what to expect with the "bread" they were served in. The texture looked like it would be gooey and stick to your mouth or overpowerful, but it was neither. We tried the avocado chips as well and we loved them.
I can't get enough of this place! I would eat here everyday if I could! I recommend you try the Big bird, Memphis, Pork Belly, snow crabs with a side order of Bulgogi fries.๐๐พ๐๐พ Also every Wednesday they have KFC night! It's some great spicy and sweet fried chicken! One of my top ten spots to eat at in Houston..
This is my second time here and I seriously canโt believe I donโt eat Fat Bao more often. The individual Baos are absolutely delicious, to the point of mouth watering. Great location, friendly staff, quick service and the prices are fair. You wonโt regret your meal thatโs for sure.
Friendly staff that made suggestions. The Avocado fries ๐ were well made. The Bao were good, my favorite being the Pork Back and the Memphis. They had a chicken version named Big Byrd that was good but the Pork type are the best. Will get this as much as I can.
Really yummy take on bao buns at this tiny little restaurant. My friends and I got a couple different bao to try out, and we all loved what we got. I donโt think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. I will say that some of the options are just too saucy and within minutes the bao is soggy and falls apart. Surprisingly we all agreed the best thing we got were the curry fries. Prices are fair and reasonable for each type of bao.
Very good place to eat. All the bao fans will be pleased to come here. My app was the avocado chips with a jalapeรฑo mayo that was delicious! I had the soft shell crab and it was amazing, crispy with a pillowy bun. Also had the fried pork belly and to be honest I would have enjoyed it more if it wasnโt battered. Then I had the original Ramunรฉ to wash it all down! Overall very good experience, good food!๐๐ผ
Love their Bugolgi fries! Been coming here throughout my pregnancy. Their Baos are yuuuummmzer!
And FYI: there is NO๐๐ฝPATIO๐๐ฝ or Noodles. This is a store in between two stores in a strip mall. ๐๐
Lovely, friendly and comfortable atmosphere, delicious food. I recommend the bulgogi fries!
Edit: we had dessert and the banana/Nutella and s'mores bao were fantastic!! Just enough to not be overwhelming or too sweet.
this place was pretty good! they do have several selection of bao to choose from however nothing really sounded tasty aside from bulgogi and pork katsu. i did love the warm and soft bao and how 2 made me pretty full.
good service. clean and spacious layout! will be back fot sure.
This is such a cool place in Houston. They make some seriously delicious Bao. A unique experience. I loved their habanero hot sauce. I donโt think you can go wrong with anything on their menu. The interior is cute and neat and the staff is very friendly and helpful.
There is lot of parking space available outside.
These things are fantastic. Iโve only been to one of the restaurant that specialized in these and this blew it out the water. Service here is really good in the food matched as well.
Bulgogi was my favorite and frying the bun made it even better. Dessert one was a bit of a let down, so I would probably avoid that next time.
The baoโs here were delightful. I got the Spicy Thai and the Duck Bao and the Pandan Tres Leche. The baoโs were so flavorful and delicious but just a little softer than I typically like and quite messy because they were so stuffed, which isnโt exactly a bad thing for getting bang for your buck. The Pandan Tres Leche was absolutely phenomenal though. I wanted to try something new and this truly delivered it was moist, delicate, flavor packed and rich without being over powering. I will be getting it for sure again and am looking forward to trying another bao soon too. Iโm so happy I stopped by here on a whim.
