· Saint-Merri
Hip Taiwanese-inspired spot for bao, dumplings, and noodles with fast, friendly service; great for casual meals though flavors and service consistency vary at peak times.
Our take
BAOBAR delivers solid casual dining with strong food quality in standout dishes like fried chicken bao and shrimp wontons, paired with notably fast service and appealing Marais location. However, quality fluctuates across visits, and cramped quarters with peak-time noise limit the experience. Fair pricing and lively energy make it worth visiting, though inconsistency prevents it from reaching higher-tier status.
One caveat: Inconsistent seasoning reported by several diners, especially during busy services
