    Does anyone know of some restaurants in Chinatown Square that have bao? They might also be called steamed hot buns. They are basically dumpling shaped balls filled with meat and steamed vegetables. Any help would be very much appreciated.

    There's several threads that cover bakeries and such in Chinatown where you can find bao and other baked goods.

    Try Great Neighborhood Restaurant Shui Wah for fluffy, savory steamed bao during dim sum hours. All of the big dim sum places (facing and beyond Chinatown Square) have them as well. The bakeries will have baked bao (and also sometimes steamed). I have most consistent luck at Captain's and Chiu Quon, but slightly rougher-around-the-edges Saint Anna, Feida, and Maxim's (which also lives in my literary imagination, haven't checked real-world status there lately) seem to have more magic at their best.

    Thanks for the suggestions. They were very helpful.
