Best WLM Reviews

This place is a nice hidden gem near the UCR campus, the place was empty on a Sunday night and it was just us and the server. After speaking with her, we decided upon the Vegetable Bao and Japanese curry. The bao needed a little bit of help from the Chili oil at the table but the curry was fine as is and made for a good comfort food on a rainy Sunday evening.
This place is FANTASTIC
Great service & staff
Genuinely delicious food. We had some beef buns & pork and shrimp buns, wonton soup, & pot stickers
I recommend all of the above. I will definitely be going back.
I enjoyed my experience because the restaurant was clean, the waitress was kind, attentive, and willing to help when my daughter wasn't happy with what she ordered. I appreciated that there was no fuss just a desire to make the customer happy. We will definitely go back plus the BBq pork buns were amazing.
Literally the best soup dumplings I've ever had, but they seriously need to fix their connection to DoorDash. They've cancelled my last four or five orders with them; the store calls for me to redo the order, and then it gets cancelled again. It's pretty frustrating, especially since the cancellation happens around the time that the order is supposed to be delivered. I'll probably just stick with in person restaurant attendance going forward (whenever I can) because there's no point in doing online orders.
I came out to Bao Culture for the first time.. I was honestly very surprised and satisfied by the quality.. great quality and great tasting food with a great variety of drinks, teas, boba, and smoothies. The beef udon and popcorn chicken was really good.. near UCR, shopping, and the freeway.. and this place actually has parking outside the location which is a plus in this plaza.. ohh yess and the Thai tea with boba and without was very good.. thanks
Horrible food.. their supposedly best tasting pork soup dumplings were also the worst I’ve ever tasted. Some desert ‘rice balls with sesame paste’ was awful!! The waitress dropped a part of my desert on the table. This place should shut down!!! Overpriced food!!
You have to try to soup dumplings. I also ordered the peach green tea and it was the perfect combination of sweet and refreshing.
We recommend the SOUP DUMPLINGS!! So good! Didn’t really care for the bao’s but the vegetable rice was good. Place was empty, definitely a hidden gem. Server was SO SWEET!
