Reviews

The line was pretty long but moved fast—only waited about five minutes. Grabbed some pork shumai with that fried garlic topping and a Thai iced tea. The shumai was tasty and fresh, and the tea hit the spot on a hot day, though I thought it was a little on the sweeter side. There’s not much seating, so we just stood outside to eat next to this big mural everyone seems to take pics with. Handy spot if you’re in the area and want a quick snack without fuss.

Though seating at Gu Long Bao is limited, the quick turnover means the wait isn't too long, usually around five minutes. The freshly made buns and shumai are standard but satisfying, and the staff's willingness to manage waste adds to the pleasant experience.

The Thai iced tea is a standout, refreshing and perfectly suited for Bangkok's heat. The Siu Mai, topped with fried garlic, is a tasty treat. While the Baos didn't impress me as much, the overall experience was enjoyable.

Despite long lines, service is efficient, and the food is freshly made. The pork shumai, with its fried garlic and soy sauce/chili oil accompaniment, is a must-try. The store's location next to an Instagram-worthy wall adds to the appeal.

Gu Long Bao is consistently popular, often with a queue, but the wait is worthwhile for the delicious baked buns, which are crispy and flavorful. The minimum order for baking is three buns, so come hungry. The kanomjeep paired with milk tea is delightful, with the tea being just right in sweetness.
