Food is tasty, portion sizes are quite small. The chicken/pineapple dumplings are the best. I didn’t really enjoy the crab bao but would recommend the pork belly. I would recommend getting a drink because the meat options can be a tad heavy. Many people don’t realise there’s an upstairs as well.
The food is delicious, I ordered the Philly Cheese Steak Lunch Combo with Bang Bang Salad, staff was friendly and I was able to order without trouble.
The Philly Cheese Steak was well made and it was a satisfying meal, the side of salad was also a nice touch.
My only downside, though this is mostly because this was my first time coming here was managing the bao. It became quite tedious to eat the more I ate it, though this is most likely from lack of experience than anything.

@theelliottstables has been one of our favorite places since they opened. It is an enchanting Dining Village set in a beautiful historic building. They offer a wide range of international cuisines, from Western 🍔to Japanese🍱, Mexican 🌮to Indian🍛, Italian 🍕to Asian fusion🥟. Excellent choice for date nights, family gathering or just brunch with friends.⠀

@bao_baby_bao has been on our list of places to try for a while and we finally got to try their 𝑩𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝑩𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝑪𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒆𝒏 𝑺𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒅 🥗this week. Soy pull chicken was full of flavors, not too salty. The cucumber, carrots provides crunch for the dish. Along with soy chilli dressing, the whole dish was mild yet flavorful, juicy yet tender. Simply refreshing and divine.⠀

Bao Baby Bao is an Asian fusion restaurant who will take you to the Philadelphia streets via the Shanghai express🚝. They were created when American chef Robert Aylwin and Chinese chef Yolanda Chen met in New Zealand and became business partners. We can't wait to come back for some more noodles and baos 😝⠀
Ordered the beer battered fries- crunchy on the outside soft on the inside and really enjoyed the siracha mayo. The spicy Mongolian beef was average unfortunately I think the meat was slightly over cooked only managed to eat half of it. It was also a good portion size. The chicken dumplings were nice just a bit odd with the addition of the pineapple. Luckily it wasn’t in the dumplings it was on top of. The chicken bao was pretty great Just needed extra sauce which they happily provided. The chicken wings were tasty
Absolutely amazing angry bird for just 5 dollars! and the service is great!
Staff know their stuff and very informative on what food to offer, price is reasonable and food is great... crunchy chicken wings (you can have it by 500g or 1kg - 10pcs in 500g) and its fingerlickin 😊 the bao especially the angry bird with its crunchy chicken perfected with the sriracha and aoili sauce is a good combo...all food served are delicious and will be back for more 😊
Yum! Absolutely loved the KFC(Korean Fried Chicken)! 1kg def beat - next time will order the 500gram. The chicken dumplings were perfect and the filling in the crab dumplings were more than adequate! The curly fries were def a nice add on to our meal!
Second time we have eaten here. Deliciously fresh bao buns and this time we had a light and tasty sweet and sour pork. Go to the upstairs area to get away from the crowds. Recommended
This was delicious and well priced, some of the nicest spicy chicken wings we have tried. Bao were very flavourful
Came here around lunchtime and got the angry bird bao. It was really good and only $5!! Service was very prompt and the staff were friendly. Will definitely come back.
Cute and delicious eatery in a good hall. Really enjoyed the Angry Bird Bao and Bao Belly Bao lunch combos. We also got the Food King Duck Dim Sum - the cinnamon heavy sauce almost reminds you of dessert. Nice place to grab a quick bite in a unique space.

I was looking for a specific dish that is soft shell crab and that is the reason I’ve chosen this eatery. The soft shell crab is one of my fav amongst Vietnamese dishes. I previously only eaten it as an appetizer with a slaw on the side. This eatery serves it on the bao. I dont specifically have a bog love for any baos but it was a good experience to try. The soft shell crab was seasoned and fried very well. Not oily at all and super crunchy ! It has a right amount of sriracha ( maybe) -lime mayo and a spring salad-slaw.
Price wise i think it is the same as i would’ve pay for an appetizer dish . The P’O bao costs $12.
The place is located inside Elliot stables. You dont have a sitting inside the cafe but plenty of tables to sit and enjoy your food right out the door. Its like a food court type establishment.
I have seen previous reviews about other food items. Can’t tell anything beside that I’ve tried.
Its great for a quick grab but not a place where you would go trying to enjoy serenity and calmness while you eat. People are swirling around as its located in busy CBD area.
Honest review, it’s the first restaurant in Auckland I’m giving 5 star for the amazing food. Ordered Philly cheese Steak and it taste heavenly. Already decided to come again later :P
Oh it’s inside Elliot’s Stables everyone! It’s not a shop on the street.
Bonus: Cool vibe inside and super friendly staff :)
I had a fantastic experience trying Bao Baby Bao for the first time.
I ordered the vegetable dumplings ($12) and loaded fries ($12). I was very surprised with the amount of food, high level of presentation and taste for the price.
The dumplings sold at Bao Baby Bao are interesting flavours that I haven't seen or tasted anywhere else. Although slightly more expensive than dumplings I have had elsewhere, I much prefered these ones, and they were packed full of the filling. They are also served with a delicious seasoned soy sauce (which is great for dipping the fries into as well...)!
The loaded fries were very good too! The bulgogi beef was not chewy, and very flavourful and savoury. I loved them.
I'd highly recommend Bao Baby Bao to anyone vising Elliott Stables eatery, as you can't go wrong for the quality of food for the price!
We were in town for the Van Pimpenstein show. Great food, fair prices. I ate here several times. The pork belly bao made me feel like a dinosaur, in a good way.
We just came by for the fried ice cream but also ended up getting some baos since we were there and still a bit peckish. they have quite a few different flavoured baos as well as other food items like chicken wings and fried noodles. I had the soft shell crab bao and that was nice. The crab was crispy and the limey mayo went well with the slaw and crab. The best part is the fried ice cream, crispy and smothered in chocolate. It was served over a fried bread which was also really nice. Definitely, a must try dessert. We also tried the monkey business, a banana and walnut spring roll. I thought it was ok and was a lot nicer with the salted caramel sauce. it was almost like a banana fritter.
Not a bad option for food if you're in Elliot Stables. One of the best parts is that they do have seating in the shop if the stables are full.
Incredible food!! It was delicious and the Elliot stables eatery was very cool. We had the pork noodles, beef and rice and dumplings and they were all delicious!
Excellent excellent excellent place for a Monday night. $80 and we are so full both got baos and dumplings and a cocktail. Will come back
Always a delight to dine here. For my nth visit, I ordered Philly Cheesesteak with chips. (I always order the chips for their spicy dip!) First time trying the flavour out and man, it was sooo good! Waiting time is pretty decent and service is commendable. They have a promo on lunch time so come by then for a cheaper and yummier lunch option.
Great little hidden gem with amazing tasting food that’s quick, affordable and delicious. We got the crab bao, pork belly bao, dumplings and Korean fried chicken. Full of flavour!
