About BAO (CMU)

Located at 400 S Craig St, Pittsburgh, PA 15213, BAO (CMU) operates as a pan-asian restaurant serving Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it.

Portion sizes and pricing swing widely across this group, from a $10 lunch bowl to a multi-course tasting menu at an upscale sushi counter, so checking recent reviews and photos is more useful than the price range alone. In Pittsburgh, dinner reservations for popular izakaya, hot pot and Korean BBQ spots fill up on Friday and Saturday nights, so booking ahead or arriving at opening is worth it. Many restaurants across Pennsylvania run daily lunch specials on weekdays that are not listed on the dinner menu, so it is worth asking. Halal, vegetarian and gluten-free options vary a lot by kitchen; call ahead if you have a dietary restriction rather than assuming the menu will note it.

The business lists hours on 2 days of the week. Typical hours are 11:30 AM–9:30 PM. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (412) 687-7777. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is toasttab.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

Its Google rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 322 reviews, a solid but mixed picture; reading the most recent reviews will tell you what to expect.

Pittsburgh is in Pennsylvania, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Getting around Pittsburgh is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across Pennsylvania's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

We had the privilege of dining here, and everything we ordered from bubble tea to fried fish and popcorn chicken to dumplings to green beans was delicious! The establishment was very clean, and service was excellent. A window into the kitchen showed that the dim sum is indeed handmade. Highly recommend!

I was so sad to learn that the other Bao location closed, but glad this one is still open. It was relatively busy when we came for lunch on the weekend, but we were still able to get a table. There are so many good choices, but we love splitting several dumplings and then finishing our meal with a boba tea. Definitely come hungry!

Came during a slow lunch. Just us and one other lad. Was treated quickly but service was sluggish after that. Ordered a boba which was very fresh, and had super soft tapioca balls. We got the steamed bao pork filled. We thought it’d be a meatpie filling but rather it was just a pork meatball. They were pretty good otherwise. Lastly we got the taiwanese style rice cakes with chicken. It was a well rounded plate and the rice cakes were a perfect soft texture. The food was good for the price point!

I really enjoyed the food here, we tried 3 types of dumplings and two entrees. We were pretty satisfied with all of the food. I was not thrilled with the creme brulee bubble tea though, it was just okay. My only complaint is that the service was odd, the dishes came out all at separate times very spaced apart which was really weird. My boyfriend got his curry like 20 minutes apart from any of our shared food and my entree.
