1 stars

it was disgusting, to much filling, and runny

Quick and convenient.

4 stars

These are tasty and convenient. Yes, they are a bit expensive, but bao buns in general tend to be expensive - compared to buying unfilled buns, these are not bad value.

Tasty, but too much packaging

4 stars

Tasty - but I probably won't buy again because they come in so much packaging

They're not bad, but something salty in the flavou

3 stars

They're not bad, but something salty in the flavouring kind of overpowers everything else--soy sauce, maybe? I bought them when they were on offer and I still feel like I didn't get a lot for my money, so I won't be buying them when they're full price.

BANGIN BAO

5 stars

absolutely delicious! only intended to eat three in one sitting but ended up cooking them all lol. Was worried they'd be too spicy but they're very lightly spiced. If you put 3 bao buns in the paper bags on a plate for 2 minutes in the microwave its a lot faster than one at a time (like the package suggests). lovely light bao dough, absolutely delicious. Will be eating them till im sick of them lol

Too salty

1 stars

It's far too salty. Such a shame since I like the bun/filling ratio and they heat well.

Fluffy cloud......

3 stars

A bao bun is all about the fluffy cloud like texture which is what I was expecting from these. Instead, after microwaving them they pretty much looked the same as it did in the packaging. There was a generous amount of filling and the flavours well balanced. Unlike other reviews, I didn't find it too sweet and enjoyed it. I will adjust my microwave settings and try again to see if they puff up.

Absolutely delicious!

5 stars

Delicious! Probably the best bao bun I've ever had. We have them every week now

Soooo yummy

5 stars

Soooo yummy

These are so quick to prepare and very light yet s

5 stars

These are so quick to prepare and very light yet satisfying, with a dash of light soy sauce. The filling is tasty, savoury and exactly as you would find in Chinatown. Really happy to get the authentic taste without travelling to a restaurant.We really like them for lunch. Thankyou Itsu.
