What do you get when food-to-go meets Asian Fusion at the beach in San Diego? Bao with plenty of wow! If you haven't ever eaten one, bao is a Chinese steamed bun. Bao San Diego style is stuffed with boldly flavored marinated meat and sautéed raw or lightly pickled seasonal veggies. Or you can skip the meat and go for a vegetarian bao. The Carnitas Bao combines Mexican food - braised pork - with pickled cucumber and shallots in a barbeque sauce. Bulgogi fries, onigiri (balls of rice with tasty fillings wrapped in seaweed), Ahi Poke bowls - it's the Asian food San Diego beach-goers talk about. Check out the photos! Or just come by the blue shack on Mission Blvd. in Pacific Beach. Locals relax at indoor and outdoor tables or call for takeout. Bao Beach is known for its laid-back beachside atmosphere, where it's all about the food, quick service, and a friendly staff. We're also a pet-friendly restaurant - tourist-friendly, too!

I tried the steamed buns and I my favorite one was the carnitas, the bulgogi not so much. The prices are reasonable. I might give it another chance...

Had the char sui bao. I wished the bao would've been perhaps a little thicker, as mine split, so it turned into a legit sandwich. The meat itself was flavorful and the pickled veggies were good to cut the fat but there was a bunch of red cabbage on the side that I wasn't sure what to do with. They would've been great pickled to add even more crunch but they were just raw. It is pricey for the amount.

Great variety of creative delicious Baos.
