Susubao - Phan Xích Long - Shanghainese restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

Their dumpling is so juicy and flavorful. The taste is just right to me. And each of them is so big, didn’t have enough room in my stomach to try all of the flavor. The one we liked the least is the sticky rice dumpling, just tasted weird.

Susubao specializes in bánh bao, and that alone makes it stand out—an entire shop dedicated to this one dish. The báo are excellent, offering a variety of unique flavors that you won’t find elsewhere. Each bao is crispy on the bottom and soft on top, with different colors representing different fillings, both savory and spicy. Each bao is quite small and is bite size. It’s a creative take on a traditional favorite and a must-try spot if you’re exploring Phan Xích Long.

Review for free tea (of which they ran out of and replaced it with milk tea), who can give this disappointing restaurant honest 5 stars? The food is nothing special and the rest lackluster. Food: Signature Pork Bun: Nothing special Vegeshroom Bun: Kinda better than their signature Sichuan Spicy Pork Bun: A bit spicy, other than that also nothing special Xiao Long Bao: In aluminum, seriously? Also not well formed. Not a lot of filling. Don‘t seem really fresh Cheese dumplings: Cheese and dumplings are not a good combination. Period. Dry Noodles: The best dish; kinda disappointing for a dumpling restaurant. However they were nothing special, typical chinese noodles Orange tangerine tea: Very good, I like the taste of tangerine Special Juice: Very tasty, but took almost 30 minutes to arrive. It‘s good that they appareantly make the drinks fresh. However another table got their drinks after a few minutes before the first dish. 30 minutes is not excusable. Service: No security for parking. Order directly at door while standing. Cant return 500k. Some drinks sold out. The food arrived before the drinks. After the first dish they brought only one drink, then we had to wait for the rest. I received my drink after the rest of the food items (almost 30 minutes). While removing one plate, the staff threw food leftovers on me; not attentive. Atmosphere: No music, very sterile, very empty, feels dead. Chairs dirty. Overall not clean impression.

Very nice susubao buns. Overall the restaurant is affordable. However the decor and atmosphere feel like a boring McDonald's place with plastic chairs and tables. The also request that you order and pay in advance at the counter which is efficient but not very welcoming for a restaurant. The signature susubao are quite good however other dishes are either too salty or not very good. The milk tea is good but the lychee tea is too sweet with a chemical taste. Free parking on the pavement in front of the restaurant but no employee to instruct you where to place your bike.

Nice and clean place. Friendly staff. Buns taste great! We ordered 2 of each filling. Shanghai dry noodle is also interesting.
