Located in the heart of New York City, Mr. Bao highlights the culinary delicacy known as abalone. Abalone is a rare shellfish with a sweet and savory taste with buttery tenderness. Mr. Bao’s abalone is sourced from the southern tip of South Africa, where the cold water from the Atlantic Ocean, along with the warm Indian Ocean, produces the freshest abalone. Our vision is to reimagine fast food with a touch of sophistication. Our menu highlights an ocean-to-table experience connecting South African delicacy with Asian flavors. Experience the only New York restaurant celebrating the versatility and flavors of abalone. 

 

The first flagship restaurant has officially opened in Times Square, Midtown Manhattan, and our second location in Chinatown will be opening this fall. The LIC location is set to welcome guests next year.
