Small crowded spot - a hole in the wall - but the food was great! Better than any Baos I could get in my city. I really liked the AiYu Jelly Lemonade (AiYu seed jelly, hand squeezed lemons, and rock candy) and iced Cold Green Tea they had, very tasty stuff, and are way better than typical soft-drink fare.

We had the Chairman and Birdhaus Bao - detailed below - and both were delicious.

The atmosphere of the place had a very hip-hop urban vibe to it, not a typical 'asian restaurant' vibe which made it unique.

I highly recommend this place, especially if you're a fan Eddie Huang on Vice, you can't go wrong. There may be slightly better, or cheaper eats in NYC - but Baohaus is a sure thing, and has a cool vibe.
