I'd actually say this place deserves a 4 star rating it has. There's reviews out there on yelp that mention that highway robbery price for something that is street food in China. I agree the price is a bit steep at $4-5 per bun but that's comparing it to the street food sized portions relative to what little "street food" NYC has to offer.

The price also justifies the portion cuts and the quality of pork they sell here. My chairman bao was served with a beautifully sizable slice of fatty pork. The fat melted into a nice salty sweet buttery dream. BaoHaus makes this cheap easy Chinese street comfort food into a luxury experience snack. It takes the traditional pork bun and kicks it up a modern American Chinese notch with the added cilantro punch you get after the fat melts away on your tongue.
