88 BaoBao - Brentwood, California

We went to eat there and truly weren't expecting much, since we've eaten dumplings at restaurants in multiple Chinatowns. However, the dumplings were excellent, comparable to the Chinatown restaurants. If you like dumplings, we highly recommend this restaurant. We especially liked the soup dumplings and shrimp dumplings. Their non-dumpling side dishes were good too.

If you haven’t been to 88 Bao Bao, you’re missing out! I just had their soup dumplings, and they were absolutely delicious—perfectly flavorful and steamed to perfection. This spot has become one of my favorites, and I always look forward to enjoying these little bites of heaven.

If you’re a fan of authentic and satisfying dumplings, you’ve got to stop by and try them for yourself. Highly recommended!

Very good food and good portions based on other places. Favorite affordable dimsum around. Love the cucumber salad, xiao long boa, popcorn chicken, leek pork dumplings, and vegetable dumplings. Parking is busy during peak hours so plan for that.

Went to 88 Bao last week coz we just remembered we HAD one near by ... and was craving some XLB. Also just found out they had popcorn chicken the way I like it. And wowza their portion sizes are very generous!

So the food is amazing, but my husband and I arrived and the shop was empty… we placed Our order as usual and everything was fine… A large group of People came in 20 minutes after us. We received one of our four items and they proceed to serve the group that came in after us… they basically forgot about us and our order.. when I went up to speak to them about it.. we were told our food was still “cooking” this was not the case, as they have large glass windows.. basically, what happened this large white group took precedence over us. We will not be back to this location

Good dumplings, just WAY too expensive for what you get. Ordered 2x Shumai, 1x BBQ Pork Bun and 1x Sesame Balls and it came out to $45!!! Can get better price down the road on Balfour near Safeway for the same order....

Order BBQ Pork buns as a quick snack before heading to Trader Joes. When I went it was not too busy so the food was ready relatively quick. The buns were not too sweet and would definitely recommend them.

I used to be a frequent customer, but my experience last night and today has changed that. Last night, I ordered the steamed vegetable buns and Chow Mein. Later that night, I ended up with food poisoning. Today, I called the restaurant to report what happened and informed them that my husband would be coming in to get a refund. The lady on the phone initially refused to refund me and offered more food instead. I declined, explaining that their food had made me sick. I asked to speak with a manager, but she said the manager was not there. I reiterated my request for a refund due to the food poisoning. She put me on hold, then came back and agreed to provide the refund.

However, when my husband arrived at the restaurant just five minutes later, they refused to refund him, with the manager claiming they couldn’t do it. How is that possible when I was told the manager wasn’t there? I would avoid this place to prevent getting food poisoning. They do not care about their customers and won't even issue a refund, which is the least they could do. These people have no integrity.
