Addiction at its finest. I tried Jacks Bao as a native San Francisco girl because I miss dumplings and the like. Currently South County does not have a lot of options for amazing Street style Food. I am in love. I used to have an aversion to all things hot. Then i tried the Red Chili Oil WonTon. Oh my god. I get this with one of the soups. I have had the braised beef and the spicy pork. Both are out of this world. I'd eat this every single day if I could. I order it through DoorDash with my Dash Pass and it works out fairly economical for lunch. They have a 22 lunch special that has fried wonton and spicy pork soup and a soda. It works out great for me. My only wish is that they would put a few more dimsum dishes on the menu. Really amazing. So Excited that they are in Aptos. They are closed today and I am anxiously awaiting tomorrow.

I’m really glad a new Chinese place has opened in Santa Cruz. I ordered the wonton soup, which was good. If I was to nitpick I would say the broth was slightly salty, but looking forward to coming back and trying the XLB and other dishes.

The braised beef noodle soup was excellent and very filling. I was very hungry and left overly full! The beef, noodles, broth = all great!

My overall experience was wonderful. The staff is absolutely amazing and attentive. The Bao was so soft and flavorful. You can feel the love cooked in every item. Definitely a go to for the upcoming rainy and cold season.

Was excited to see this Bao place open. Had high expectations, maybe too high? Ordered Steamed Pork Bao (3 pieces). They were average, I've had better from 7/11 in Japan. Ordered Steamed Pork Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings), no black vinegar 🤯 and they serve them without a spoon! Never saw that before, I lost my soup from a few of them before asking for a spoon and them giving me a shovel sized spoon. They tasted OK, very thin wrappers so they broke easily. Doesn't feel authentic to me. For my money (not cheap) I'll drive to Special Noodle in Santa Cruz.
