Bao & Noodle - Chinese restaurant in New Orleans - 2266 St Claude Ave, USA

The food was very good, full of flavor but very salty. Ambiance was nice. I can't say much about the service as it is mostly self-service (grab your own napkin/water, glass, and order food at the counter). A smile or two might have helped, but amen.

Cozy spot to grab some excellent bao. I also had the Dan Dan noodles and my boyfriend had the pork belly. Overall the food was good but the bao was definitely the star of the show. I enjoyed the texture of the noodles however the sauce (under the bed of noodles) didn't have the depth of flavor I was hoping for after trying the bao. Overall it was a good meal. I will be back for more bao!

In town for a wedding reception, and really wanted some fresh noodles. And Bao and Noodle delivered! Just got an order of Bao and the Cumin Lamb Biang Biang noodles. Beyond amazing! Flavor was fantastic and yummy and so worth it to go out of the way to visit this little place.

Artisanal Asian, with noodles, buns, and foods made from scratch. It’s a noticeable upgrade from pedestrian, run-of-the-mill Asian food aimed at the masses. The bao are legitimately crisp on the bottom while pillowy on the interior, with an unctuous pork filling. Hand cut, chewy Dan Dan noodles had great texture and a complimentary sauce that manages to satisfy without overpowering. I’ll be back to explore more on this menu.

Edited 11/30/19 to add that the new space is fantastic!!!! Congrats!!!! The closest thing to NYC Chinese in Nola. Nothing fancy in terms of decor, but the server was friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. The meal was delicious. We tried two appetizers that were the daily special.. Sweet and sour spareribs with the most amazing pickly cucumber cilantro concoction on top followed by shrimp and pork pan fried dumplings. Both were stellar. For dinner we split Dan Dan noodles and the lamb noodle dish. Both were fresh noodles cut and made to order. The Dan Dan noodles were dense and chewy, the noodles on the Dan Dan dish were more soft and doughy. Really delicious and plenty of good for $40. Updated to add: Still top notch. You will never be disappointed with ordering their daily bun, dumpling or bao either.

Food was delicious! I love the Louisiana twist this Asian Fusion restaurant creates. Everything was so yummy, will go again for sure! Ask for the Tea Egg as an extra (not listed on menu)- it is devine!

Back at Bao and Noodle and it’s even better than before! Service was wonderful: super friendly and attentive. Cool space! Great veg/vegan options with excellent pulled noodles, spot on Sichuan flavors and pots of Chrysanthemum tea. Love this place, can’t wait to return.

The was better than expected. The atmosphere was great and homey. Definitely would recommend this place for a cool date or a get together with friends. Byob is always cool as well. The waitress was cool polite and down to earth.
