The Bao
St Marks Pl & 3rd Ave, East Village
Taste: SGFI
Value: Fine
Booze: Yeah
Something Going For It — good veggie Chinese standards
Remarks
This place has all the standard vegan options you can get at a Chinese place. All in all pretty decent but a bit too expensive. The scallion pancakes, mapo tofu, cucumbers and veggie dumplings in broth were pretty tasty. String beans and lotus root dish was a bit of a let down.
This place was meant to be good for soup dumplings but they took the veggie soup dumplings off the menu boooo.
I think a better choice would be one of the Spicy Moon outposts. There's one nearby in East Village.
