Came in around 8 pm on a weekday with no wait at all. Loved the soup dumplings the most. Holy spicy shrimp wontons are definitely spicy but manageable if you like spice. Definitely would recommend and can’t wait to come back!

Tasty dumplings and variety of Chinese inspired dishes right in Midtown. The soup dumplings contain a luxurious liquor (no booze just flavor) and the pan fried buns delight with their own juices. Vege dishes for team meatless as well. Yay. Getcha summa dis!

Was in the area and was finally able to try out Wanna Bao. Glad we stopped in to check out this wonderful place. Service was great, helpful, and prompt. As we were first timers, asked questions and our server made great suggestions. While the red oil dumpling was a miss for me while hot. Once I got home, the flavors really came to life after sitting and cooling off. Reabsorbing all those wonderful flavors. The chicken dumplings were also delicious. It was just a great balance of flavor and quantity. But the star was definitely the Dancing Beef. Delicious flavor and with the perfect heat, you can't go wrong here. Can't wait to return and try more dishes. We will definitely be back. How was your visit? Which are your favorites? Until next time.

I found this place through a TikTok video, and honestly, I loved the food. They serve Chinese cuisine — their specialty is dumplings, but they also have other dishes. We ordered two orders of chicken filling soup dumplings and one order of spicy crispy chicken popcorn. Honestly, everything was delicious, and the service was excellent. I give it a solid 10 out of 10.
