With the opening of Bao Noodles, a stylish and delicious eatery east of Gramercy Park, Chris Andrews and Chris Johnson have created yet another gem to whet appetites. The new restaurant, a home style version of their first success, Bao 111, specializes in traditional Vietnamese cooking that will bring you on a culinary journey through the Mekong River Valley, Ha’noi, Saigon and Hue’.

A delivery service and large kitchen allows Bao Noodles to feed and delight folks well beyond its comfortable dining space. Open for lunch and dinner seven days a week, the menu shines with traditional noodle soups, a wide variety of appetizers and family-style meals. Standout dishes include the savory Thit kho (braised pork belly), the Ca’ chien sot’ me (crispy whole snapper with tamarind) and the Mien’ga (a soothing chicken and shitake noodle soup). Nghia Nguyen a chef and former restaurant owner in Vietnam, served as a consultant, assuring the authenticity of Bao Noodles’ many traditional dishes.
Bao Noodles aesthetically reflects the influence of France on Vietnam. The large smoked mirror, elongated bar and rustic tile floor bespeak old world elegance while the red entryway, cheery golden walls and distressed green banquettes suggest the Vietnamese influences and the cuisine that is the true highlight at the fifty-seat restaurant.
Spurred by the enthusiastic feedback from Bao 111, Andrews and Johnson recognized the demand for Asian home cooking outside of Chinatown and have risen to the occasion. For a taste of authentic Vietnamese traditional cuisine be sure to visit Bao Noodles.

Tremendous broths and root vegetables, especially wonderful in winter but good anytime. I could eat daikon all day. Carrots too. And beef.

Terrible loose chicken curry. It was more like a curry soup.

Chicken Pho wasnt anything special, but it was satisfying. A decent sized portion and plenty of side sauces and herbs to customize flavor. LOUSY LOUSY curry tofu with vegetables.

Good Bahn Mi, but not quite as flavorful as Baoguette. Terrible green papaya salad - a bunch of shredded papaya with some steamed shrimp on top - not even any peanuts or bean sprouts or cilantro or mint. Skip it.

They forgot part of our order and we had to wait longer than 1 hour for the rest of it.

This is the second time in a row that our order was messed up. Both times some of the food ordered was missing. Also, they are only located a couple of blocks from where I live but the delivery time took almost an hour (estimated time said 15-30 minutes). I will not order food here again.

I am SO annoyed. Estimated delivery time: 15 to 30 min. ACTUAL delivery time: 1 HOUR 28 min. My order has arrived cold, my sandwich is mushy, and I had to call twice to ask where it was (was told it would arrive within 5 min both times - way off). The flavor of the food seems average to slightly above, and I can imagine if I was eating it fresh and its proper temperature it would be good.

Bun was unflavorful and boring. Pretty much just a bowl of noodles and lettuce- no flavor elements like basil, cilantro or peanuts.

Way too expensive for the amount of food received. Took over an hour to receive food when I was quoted 30 mins.

In the past I would have given Bao 4-5 stars. We've been ordering from there and dining in since they opened a few years ago. However, in the last 6-12 months or so it seems like they've been trying to stretch their dollar and the quality of their food has gone down hill as a result. The last two times I ordered Grilled Beef Brochettes Vermicelli (a favorite in the past) - the meat was so fatty I couldn't eat it - and I don't typically cut fat out of beef. The same goes for the Lemongrass Short Ribs, which used to be a delight. We ended up eating pieces of the short rib around the fat in an attempt to remember they're former glory. Bao has also reduced the portion sizes on some items and taken out ingredients, presumably to lower costs. i.e. the shrimp and grapefruit salad no longer comes with shrimp, but doesn't cost any less. Reducing the portion size alone isn't a big deal, but with everything else it feels like cost-cutting has become their top priority. Really disappointing.

This place is terrible. Their chicken is low quality super market chicken and the food in general was disgusting. I ordered over $60 of food for me and 3 friends and not one of us enjoyed it. Never ordering from here again.

This is probably the worst restaurants I have ever been to. It is a disgrace to Vietnamese food. I am completely surprised by the great reviews this restaurant has received. I am Asian and I have eaten at many Vietnamese restaurants and this is by far the worst place I have ever eaten at. The pho did not taste like pho. The grill pork sandwich was completely fatty not a single piece of meat had any meat on it. The sandwich was stuffed with fat. The chicken for the chicken and vermicelli noodles were undercooked, half of the chicken was still rare. I prefer beef undercooked but definitely not chicken. Also the sticky rice was disgusting. I am not sure how to describe it but it just seemed like all they did to season it was add oyster sauce. Bottom line is this restaurant was appalling and I would never go here, order here or recommend ANYONE to ever eat here.

The best grilled pork sandwich ever! Also try the beef stew noodle soup!
