Not only are they incredibly expensive but the portions are so diminutive and the taste could be a lot better.
I had the Bird-Haus Bao which was a chicken finger in a steamed bun. I also had the Chairman Bao, which is made with pork belly, and I should have known better because pork belly is mostly fat only I did not expect to eat a slab of fat in my White Castle sized steamed bun.
Eating here made me regret coming, I should have walked to Avenue B and had a Vietnamese sandwich (which I did later for dinner on St. Marks). The pork bun was $4.00 the chicken was also $4.00. They suggest that a serving is 2-3 of these mini sandwiches which 4x3=$12 and I'd rather pocket my $12 and go somewhere else.
As for cleanliness, its a small place and kept tidy. The service was confusing because when you walk in you face the kitchen, only you have to turn around like you're going to walk out ( and you should) so that you can place an order. The woman who took my order was friendly and pleasant but I suppose she is getting paid great because they post that they are not "fast food" only I beg to differ. If I have to pay this much for lousy all natural and organic Asian sandwiches I'd rather go home and make it myself. And that's that.
I went to BaoHaus after a personal training session with my client before reading your blog. Had I read it prior to my visit I would have saved myself $22 and having to go down the street to actually get some real food. Taste was not that great and it's certainly not worth the money. Accurate review Foodie . . . Will be visiting the other places you have blogged about within the next few days. I'll post my comments accordingly. Thanks. A.K.
