“ I ordered the two bao with fries combo. You are able to choose two baos from the basic list. The spicy brisket bao was really flavorful and the pork one was good but nothing fancy. I would order the spicy brisket one again for sure. Only downside was the amount of fries was really small and could be a little bigger (it was like kid sized). ”
“ Friendly most time i come here. Wish the service could faster some days. It is located inside the H mart store. ”
“ Caobao is all go-to all time favorite bao place. Each order is steamed/cooked to perfection. The staff is also very helpful with recommendations and quick with orders. I highly recommend the chicken teriyaki bao and the brisket bao! Caobao is located inside of Hmart in their food court. It's a very casual dine-in if you are wanting to go with a group of friends or grab a quick little meal on your lunch break. 10/10! ”
“ Any reason to go into an H mart is reason enough but CaoBao just gave me. New favorite lunch spot! Fiancé and I both got sampler plates. He got spicy pork and bang bang shrimp with fries, I got pepperoni pizza and soft shell crab with fries. There wasn't a bad thing on the plate! Great portion size, Everything was hot and delicious, but my only critique is that I myself prefer more salt on my fries and the soft shell crab. Now I am a southern cajun woman and prefer my crab seasoned to the gods, spicy and drenched in butter and lemon. Okay this crab was FRESH it tasted like they had taken it out of the tank right before serving me and I can absolutely appreciate that but it was just a bit toooooo crabby for me but if you enjoy fresh crab taste then it's an absolute 10/10 all the way around. Also try the vanilla ice cream and honey!!! ”
“ We had ordered from another food court counter and I added the spicy brisket bao just to try it. It was pretty good and different, but more than I'd like to pay when I'm used to the price of tasty baos in Houston's Chinatown. ”
“ Tried their food stand during lunar new year at The Post. Super fluffy buns and really tasty. Can't wait to check out the actual restaurant to try the rest of their buns! ”
“ The fluffiest and most delicious buns around. So good, they would make Sir-Mix-Alot himself, smile. Caobao, is a bao lovers dream, and some of the best baos I've had in the city. I think they are far beyond any competition. These fluffy buns are the best, and look like they came straight out of a Pixar movie. This family business, is located inside of the H-Mart of Katy, in a food hall named, "Market Eatery". There are various options of little restaurants inside this grocery store, but Caobao has a place in my heart, and it keeps me coming back for more. The staff working the shop is always nice, and there are options on the menu of baozis, guabaos, and other snacks. The baozis baos are the steamy bun goodness that always call my name. I've tried many of them, and they are all fantastic. Spicy Brisket, Chicken Teriyaki, BBQ Chicken, and Peperoni Pizza are all delicious. My favorites are the Spicy Brisket and the Chicken Teriyaki. They have a sauce on top and are filled with a good amount of meat. The Peperoni Pizza bao is done a little more crispy than the Spicy Brisket, which is a bit more fluffy. Regardless, they are all delicious, well priced, and just fluffy goodness. There is plenty of seating in this 'Market Eatery'. Many times I'll just wait a few minutes for the baos to be prepared and i'll eat them there. You can also take them to go. Its always a 'Baotastic time' and you'll definitely want to know all a'bao' it. ”
