Easily my favourite place to grab lunch during the work week. The food is delicious and they are always running yummy specials. Plus, the staff are super welcoming and helpful. Cannot rave enough about this place!
This is the best Taiwanese restaurant that I have ever been to. When you walk in, the restaurant is very bright and the decor is minimalist. You walk up to iPads where you can select what you want to eat - with pictures for those who may not know what's what - or, you can just go up to the front and order with an employee.
We had 2 bao boxes in order to try as much food as possible. Such a smart idea. We tried the chicken and garlic chives potstickers, the pork and shrimp and spinach potstickers, the Taiwanese fried chicken gwa bao, slow cooked short rib gwa bao and the crispy beef ruen bing and the seared wild caught shrimp ruen bing. Everything was so amazing, I honestly cannot pick my favorite. I had to then place another order to take home because the food was so delicious.
The employees were also very friendly and made us feel right at home!
I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Philadelphia area. Quick lunch, dinner, appetizer, whatever. Eat at bāo*logy!
Great place serving Taiwanese street food. I had the bao trio, comprising of pork belly. King oyster mushrooms and Taiwanese fried chicken for around $11. All were delicious, but I think I liked the King Mushrooms the most. It was something unique and something that I had never tried before.
I am looking forward to trying the rest of the items on the menu.
Very good dumplings, Bao and special sandwich of the evening.
Place was not crowded as we went for dinner, though I imagine it gets very crowded at lunch. Both the hot sauce and dumpling sauce were great. Service was fast and friendly
Ok so… you won’t believe this place. Taiwanese from what I understand. Basically, it’s affordable 5 star Asian fusion. Most tender meat best veggies and in a quaint location. A MUST try. Best quick lunch in Philadelphia. No question about it.
Tons of flavor in such a small package. Baology is found in the heart of center city business district and delivers on point bao buns. Plenty of options from pork, chicken, beef and vegetarian. The lines get long during the lunch break but it is well worth it. The staff are pleasantly cheerful and answer all your questions. The touch screens make it easy to place your order to keep the line moving. Definitely a spot to check out if you're new to the city.

Unique fast casual counter serve spot serving up a variety of Taiwanese grub for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They’re situated among a strip of storefronts in the base of a larger building on JFK. Look for the chalkboard sign out front. Once inside you can expect a fast casual vibe with nondescript booths, yellow walls, and a few tablets to place your order.
The open kitchen confirms the majority of their menu is made in house. We went with a variety pack of bao buns, chicken wonton soup, Taiwanese fried chicken paired with slaw, and potstickers. We were most impressed by the soft, pillowy bao buns. Specifically, the heritage pork belly buns which are packed with tender meat, tangy picked radishes, creamy aioli, and slightly sweet crushed peanuts. The fried chicken was perfectly crunchy, but the accompanying slaw was a little plain for our taste. In fact, the texture of everything we ordered was phenomenal whereas the flavors, aside from the bao buns, weren’t as pronounced as we anticipated. To be clear, everything tasted great and the lack of bold flavor could be more a reflection of the cuisine than the kitchen.
The location and atmosphere suggest the majority of their business comes via to-go orders. I’d certainly return for a midweek order of bao buns or one of the menu items we didn’t order. Recommended for a quick, casual meal or creative to-go option.
Really good lunch spot in the city. The cucumber salad starter is really good. Watch the heat at the end! I also got the Pork Ruen Bing. While it fell apart in my hands, it was quite delicious. Overall, I really enjoyed the food and will definitely be back soon
Super delicious, well priced,love the vegetarian options.
Google maps doesn’t pin the exact location but it’s in that area (next to the gym and etc)
What a treat! You can pick up right after their door (or delivery, otherwise they bring it out right to you). Super reasonable and great quality modern Taiwanese.
On to the food —
The chicken and garlic chives potstickers were delicious (tad too much dough, but great filling flavor).
For baos, the roasted pork belly gwa bao was amazing, just be ready to make a mess with the crushed peanut powder on top.
For ruen bings (essentially a Taiwanese mini burrito), the shrimp ruen bing was massive and full of flavor.
Highly recommend and can’t wait to go back!

I've been here a couple of times now, with nothing but excellent things to say about the food and the service.
The menu has a variety of meat free options available.
My favorites on the menu are the veggie potstickers, the cold longevity noodles, and the sweet potato donuts.
Definitely try the gwa bao, there are a ton of options. I had the oyster mushroom, and despite not caring for mushroom, I loved it.
The ruen bing are light and delicious little wraps filled with sauteed veggies, with your choice of a variety of proteins.
The potstickers are packed with flavor, with an equally tasty dipping sauce.
The cold longevity noodles are something I'm going to be dreaming about until the next time I can get them. They're super delicious, and I opted for the egg add-on, which made it even better.
If you're looking for a sweet treat to accompany your meal, the sweet potato donut holes are perfect.
They're crispy and sweet and good hot or cold.
Additionally, if you want to try something fun drink wise, give the Hey Song Sarsaparilla a go!
Food is so good and reasonable prices. So many delicious flavors in every bite. Staff is very friendly and make you feel welcome. Clean but fills up quick at lunch time. Lots of outside covered seating.
