Bringing Bao-licious Meals Straight to Your Doorstep!
Welcome to Jack’s Bao! 🍜

Welcome to Jack’s Bao! 🍜

We’re all about bringing the delicious flavors of Shanghai right to Cannery Row and beyond. Whether you’re in the mood for dumplings, noodles, or something crispy, our menu has something for everyone.
✅ Soup Dumplings (Xiao Long Bao) Our top pick! These soup dumplings are filled with warm, savory broth and tender pork. Each bite delivers a burst of flavor—but take it slow because they’re packed with hot soup! ✅ Pan-Fried Bao If you love a bit of crunch, our Pan-Fried Bao is perfect for you. These buns have a crispy bottom, a soft, fluffy top, and are filled with juicy pork. The mix of textures makes them a favorite among our regulars.
✅ Steamed Bao Soft and fluffy, our Steamed Bao are filled with delicious options like pork, veggies, or seasonal specials like roasted duck. Every bite feels like a warm hug. ✅ Wontons We offer Wontons fried for some crunch or served in a savory broth for a comforting soup. They’re packed with flavor and taste even better with our house-made sauces.

The service was wonderful! The owner was so sweet as was her employees! We ordered the lions head meatball noodle soup and the veggie Bao. They both were full of flavor and very delicious! It was so good that we ordered a soup to go back home. The soup was big too! It fed me my partner and daughter!! Definitely a must try! When we come back to town definitely will be coming back!!!

Very solid quick dinner. Wonton and broth is yummy. Food came out very quick and friendly staff. Location is very central and 2 min walk from the aquarium. Pricing is very cheap. Great for lunch or dinner on a casual aquarium trip!

Great flavors! The Xiaolong bao (soup dumplings) are tasty and filled with broth. The spicy ground pork noodle soup is mild, almost sweet and sour. And the portions are huge; expect to share dishes.
