88 BaoBao Dumpling House

Very good food. The speciality item - sesame chicken was very soft. The zhang liang mian could was a little bland - but had fresh ingredients. The xiaolong baos were really tasty. Overall, a great place to visit. The service was fairly quick.

On the way to Tahoe and stopped randomly in this little town I don’t even know the name of. AND THIS PLACE. One of the best dumpling place I’ve had in the entire state. Handmade dumplings, fully filled with well seasoned stuffing(look the photo, it’s a whole meatball!) The pan fried buns, so crispy and fresh. Simply PERFECTION.

We got the lumpia, cucumber salad, shrimp tempura and pork/shrimp dumplings. All the food was very fresh. The cucumber salad was good we added chilli oil and that made it amazing. Worth the price.

The restaurant seemed a bit small but was able to walk in during lunch time (on Christmas Eve so maybe it’s not as busy) and get seated pretty quickly. We ordered the wonton in chili oil, XLBs, BBQ pork bun, and an order of bamboo and mushroom bun. Excluding the buns, the order of XLBs and the wonton was filling and I feel like they give more than your typical restaurant. The restaurant doesn’t seem to fail on keeping their environment clean. And I do appreciate the kitchen transparency where you can see the chefs make the dumplings. Since the restaurant is a bit small, there is only one unisex bathroom which I feel that they maintain cleanliness but was lacking supplies when I was in there. As for what we ordered: -Wonton in Chili Oil: 10/10 for me -XLBs: 9/10 just because it wasn’t piping hot but mix it with the chili oil from the wonton order and it’s 12/10! -Bamboo & Mushroom: 7/10, my mom thinks it didn’t have enough taste and thought that maybe adding more seasoning would be better. She said that the bamboo shoots were shredded very thinly and not crunchy. - BBQ Pork Bun: 11/10, these could be a hit or miss because of the consistency of the bun. I’ve experienced other buns disintegrating in my mouth and getting it stuck on the roof. The consistency at 88 is perfect and the filling is not too sweet. Would definitely recommend if you’re in the area!

Quick service and lots of food! You don’t get seated until after you order, we had a large group coming so we tried to order earlier and get seats around each other. I was pescatarian at the time but ordered some food for the table— chicken chow mein, shrimp fried rice, vegetable dumplings, shrimp dumplings, and cucumber salad. My friends got shrimp and pork siomai, XLBs, and deep fried pork dumplings. The other table ordered similar items too. The kids loved the chow mein. There is self service water cups and they also serve drinks. Our food came out quickly and they have huge portions. Located in a shopping plaza, there’s plenty of parking and it can get busy. They have a table outside if you want to eat outside too.

My Mom wanted dumplings for her birthday so my sister and I went to dinner with our Mom here on July 3, 2025. The food was yummy. The service was quick and friendly. I would definitely eat here again.

Really fresh and delicious food!! I love that you can watch the chefs make dumplings and cook them. We enjoyed the dumplings, beef roll, noodles, and rice. However the unexpected star is the show was the garlic green beans!!! They were perfectly seasoned and addicting! The portions were very generous, in fact the family of 4 only finished half, so we have lunch for tomorrow. I wish they had fountain drinks but that's no big deal. We will be back soon, really enjoyed having an authentic restaurant in Vacaville with such high quality ingredients. The place is small and can fill up. However the food came out very fast.
