BAO SPOT – Chinese
On Church Street in downtown Orlando, The Bao Spot keeps its lights on until three in the morning, which makes it a late-night institution as much as a lunch stop. The baos carry space names — Astro Pig, Space Kalbi, The Big Bang, The Cosmic Fish, Panko Tofu — and run about six dollars apiece, so ordering three is normal. Around them sit gyoza, yuca fries, Meteor Bites, Space Wings and fried cheese curds. Bigger appetites take the Perfect Mass or Super Nova bowls, a smash burger, a Philly cheesesteak. Cheap, quick, and plainly built for a night out downtown.
