Start with the har gow—shrimp Dumplings that are hand-wrapped daily, each one glistening with translucent perfection. Then move on to siu mai, BBQ pork buns, and cheong fun (rice noodle rolls) that melt on the tongue. Craving something bold? The crispy taro Dumplings or the famous chicken feet will transport you straight to a Cantonese banquet hall. Unlike some Dim Sum spots that only operate on weekends or offer a limited selection, Bao offers its full Dim Sum menu seven days a week. That means no matter when your craving hits—Monday afternoon or Saturday brunch—you can find your favorites just steps from some of Los Angeles' busiest retail hubs
