BAO Steam Kitchen - Rive in Genève

Restaurant was very aesthetic. Food was tasty but portions were very small.

One of the best restaurants ever

Friendly service, and very nice vibe. The food was however not meeting my expectation. It was average. My favorite was the duck dimsum. The sticky mango rice dessert was a disaster unfortunately.

Very good ! Price correlated to the city center and that encourages you to eat light. Personally, a simple assortment is enough for a little hunger pangs. I'll come back. Very kind and responsive service! I will go back to look around the menu and on the terrace what's more.

Great dumplings - super speedy service.

For lovers of Korean dishes and modern cuisines.

You have to like it, it’s special Vermicelli on the side is a good choice

very nice restaurant, the ravioli are not the best, they should improve the quality of their meat. Their noodles are really good. the service is impeccable

A perfect lunch! 👍 fast service, delicious suggestions of the moment...I will come back!

Super good restaurant, great discovery. Adorable waiters, delicious food. Plan to take several dishes to be satisfied (for around 35fr per person without drink).

Nice decor, bad food. Hope you could find a real Chinese chef, good luck!

Nice place, good food, a bit expensive

Fast lunch service, cozy atmosphere, excellent products.

Excellent, delicious meal and very nice waiters

Excellent dumplings. My fav are Shumai and traditional ones.

Delicious, the atmosphere is comforting after an intense day of work. The service is superb, very attentive to all requests and questions about the dishes and I find the dishes excellent.

I really like this restaurant. I wouldn't say the atmosphere is cozy, but the style is nice. I have been for lunch several times and I have not been disappointed. Good value for money. The service is good, but smiling depending on who you meet. THANKS !

You're a good restaurant. It’s been a long time since I tasted the Shanghai soup dumplings which were very successful! Despite I didn't have enough to eat because it was quite expensive, it's a good place

I ordered xiao long baos to take and steam at home: I was a little disappointed of the size of them because they were quite small. I think the price is a bit too high compared to the size.

Excellent discovery, everything was delicious and great staff!

absolutely stunning. Loved it, the sharing concept, the food, the staff. would 100% recommend

As soon as you enter the restaurant, you are greeted by smiling and friendly staff, who are ready to help you navigate through their varied menu.

The dough is light and fluffy, making every bite truly delicious. As for the staff, I can't say enough about their friendly and professional service. They are always ready to answer your questions and help you choose the dishes that suit you best. The staff is also very knowledgeable which adds an extra touch to the dining experience.

I highly recommend it to all Chinese food lovers.

Too small the ravioli is way too expensive we had to go to another restaurant just afterwards too bad

Super uncomfortable chairs, nice teas, great soup dumplings and dim sum, nice bao, quick service, overall very pleasant

This restaurant is a gem. Mixed choice of traditional or revisited freshly made Baozi and dim sum. Typical Asian ingredients are mixed with perfection so that every bite is an explosion of flavors. Professional & very friendly staff.

Pleasant decor and quality food

The Bao Steam Kitchen is a nice place where we felt good. The decor is nice and the service was great. Our waitress was smiling, available and responsive. Their prosecco is very good and served generously. The baos and ravioli were excellent. The recipes range from traditional to more special and original. Special mention for the matcha chocolate fondant which in addition to being super generous (luckily we shared), was just to die for!

Great dumplings in cool atmosphere with great service.

Best place we have eaten in Switzerland. Staff was very friendly, the food was amazing and the prices quite cheap for Switzerland. Would highly suggest a visit!

The taste wasn’t as authentic as I thought it would be, the sweet and sour pork bao were tad bit dry, the dumplings were okay, I had ordered three mushrooms. The lemongrass and ginger infusion was mild and great for a rainy winter day but it’s a lot, we ordered two teas and couldn’t finish. The service was quick and the staff were very friendly.

Very cozy places where I love to meet friends, not to mention the delicious baos! I love it ! The staff is very pleasant, the food is very good. I recommend !

Simple and good steam cooking, nothing to say

I love this place and I go there regularly to taste the delicious jiaozi accompanied by vermicelli. Always well received, I highly recommend!

I liked the decor, the place is just pleasant, I had the feeling of being in the canteen but in a more adult version I keep within me a feeling of well-being after my visit to BAO Steam Kitchen - Rive Excellent service, the server was open to discussion and above all he was attentive to my opinions on the different foods consumed. The products are fresh, I felt the effort put into the creativity of the kitchen and I respect that and even better the food was of very good quality.

Very tasty thank you! The staff is super, friendly, polite, attentive, especially towards children.

Service is excellent. We were hungry so obviously the Bao were hardly enough to fill us up. However, the taste made up for the quantity. 😀

Really great service and cuisine!!

Absolutely delicious! We ordered a variety of baos (also have vegetarian options) and the seasonal one was very good as well. Vegetables were flavourful and crunchy. Service was friendly and helpful. We had a reservation and it was almost full when we showed up so we were glad for that! Had a great time and will be back to try more another time!

Staff friendly and efficient and food was great!

Very pleasant decor. Delicious and unusual cuisine. Specializing in ravioli with broth in the stuffing... quite an experience! Delicious, low-sweet desserts. Sesame ice cream fascinating in color and taste. Yuzu sake also very good. Fast... professional and warm service by an adorable and refreshing waitress. A little favorite about Geneva. Thank you for this time at home.

Places like Bao Steam Kitchen reminds me how low of a bar we have for good Chinese cuisine in Geneva. If you've had authentic xiao long baos or jiaozi dumplings before, any self respecting foodie would rate this as sub-par. How is the skin wrapping so thick? It's supposed to be condom film thin. It's also so tiny, the delicious soup inside hardly gave a mouthful. Whatever meat you chose hardly delivered enough texture contrast for satisfaction. The caramelised chicken baos were decent, however, it had good flavour. And I can not fault the service nor the decor, but it's a sad state of affairs when ignorant reviewers think this is the "best dumpling they've ever had." Please do yourself a favour and travel.

One of the most beautiful restaurant experiences I've had in a long time and yet I go to restaurants very regularly. Magnificent atmosphere, exceptional service of availability, speed and kindness and refined cuisine. There were 7 of us and we all left delighted with the time we spent at Bao Rive - thanks to the whole team

Very good meal. Good flavors. The waitress gave very good advice. To recommend.

Excellent food with great options for vegetarians. Loved the vermicelles with shitake and the eggplants raviolis. The service was exceptional.

Excellent quality for a good price

I loved ! A little marvel. Don't change anything without forgetting the top staff. Thank you and congratulations to the cooks

Right in front of weekend market. The soup dumplings were a bit small but ok. Friendly staff.

A new concept in Chinese cuisine, the dumplings are good, quite expensive and too little...

Very nice to share! Good and superb welcome.

What a hidden gem!!! Easily one of the best places in Geneva for Bao & Dimsums. Lovely team. Excellent service. Awesome food.

Excellent welcome and the food is really good. A big thank you to our server who took care of us like kings and in particular was great with our 15 month old baby!

Good food, need to eat a lot of pieces to be full

Pretty restaurant with a really cosy vibe - Really good dumplings for a good price, also kind staff

Excellent meal! Very friendly staff. Quite small portions, but the price is reasonable for the quality 😌

Very good address, the staff is super friendly and welcoming, the baos are excellent! Very pretty setting and an address to try

Original concept and friendly staff!

Interesting dishes. I think it's not for everyone, but personally it was a good discovery.

The place is very modern. The staff is super friendly, they really listen, which means we had a great time! And the food 🥺 I can’t wait to come back, it was super good! Thanks to the team 👍

Superb quality and helpful, smiling staff

Very tasty good, fresh and good quality food and good ambience. While the food preparation was quick, the servers seemed understaffed (just 2 servers for a packed restaurant)....so do expect a longer wait time to be attended. Price wise it's on the high end but it is surely worth it if you are not on a budget. Reservation recommended!!

Excellent food and magnificent service. Very delicious for children

AMAZING. Fantastic superb magnificent. Loved it do go it a ball.

Their Baozi are simply the softest!! I'm still drooling!

I really recommend. Healthy, fast, friendly and reasonably priced

The best ever to try, no excuse: the lamb (agneau) xiao long bao. Delicious!

Excellent cuisine and staff who take great care of the children. Nice modern setting

Food is great, service too! I can only recommend this place!

Really my favorite restaurant in Geneva, the setting is magnificent (especially in the evening) the decoration is superb, a cosy and pleasant place to spend a nice evening. The staff is very nice and attentive. The food is simply delicious, the menu is regularly renewed to make us taste new tastes and seasonal products. I recommend to go with several people (4) for the first time so that you can taste more things since it is about sharing baskets. This notion of sharing is also very playful. Personally I find that the xia long bao with pork is a safe value with a lot of taste. I especially love the fried noodles with mushrooms and the desserts are delicious. The wine list is also very attractive with wines at very good prices, very nice references (including Hermitage La Chapelle by Paul Jaboulet aîné, Come tù by René Barbier). Really not a place to be missed in Geneva, both at the junction and at the rive where parking and public transport are nearby.

Always on top! The bao are excellent, the atmosphere is cozy and the decor is designer.

the one, the unique, the true. Volume 2. Authenticity in its purest form

Superb welcome! The service was very professional and pleasant. The dishes are very good. Great experience we will return!

Love their dumplings, absolutely delicious! Freshly made dumplings with a soft dough, and the baozi had a very light and fluffy dough. My favorite was the lamb Xiao Long Bao with a delicious flavourful filling! I highly recommend this place for dumpling lovers! PS: prices are a little bit on the higher side for the portion sizes. My Instagram food blog: @livetoeat77

Either way, the dishes are good (without being exceptional) and homemade, but the quantities are largely insufficient for the price. We were left hungry.

Even if the dim sum is handmade, I find the price exaggerated, especially given the size of the portions. We were left hungry. Their taste is very good that said. The accompaniments were bland (stir-fried pak choi and crunchy salad but without sauce).

Fast and friendly take away service.

A magnificent place where the dim sum are just incredible and the staff, what can I say, they are super friendly and attentive and on a professional level I highly recommend and they prevail over the current state of things

Nous nous y sommes rendu le 22 décembre 2020 pour la première fois. Le lendemain matin, tout deux, avons eu des douleurs au ventre ... Je trouve que les prix sont surfait pour la quantité et la qualité des mets. Nous n’y retournerons plus.

Obliger de mettre une étoile pour laisser un commentaire. En effet, je souhaite partager le fait que les prix ne valent pas du tout ce que l'on a dans l'assiette, même si les xiao long bao sont bonnes par contre le baozi boeuf braisé n'était vraiment pas top.

Suprisingly we got a waiter who was extremely impolite! When asking if there was a place and said NO. Which is fine of course, but then there s way of saying it. Then when asked why some table were empty and other with 4 people because of distanciation he simply spat....read the laws! We are happy to go to restaurants and support this industry during this tough period but with service like this Bao will not see us again!!

(Traducido por Google) Bastante mediocre, caro. Yo no me quedaría ahí otra vez. (Original) Plutôt médiocre, prix surfait. Je n'y retournerais plus.

Très bon, service très sympa et accueillant. Par contre attention le budget augmente très vite !

(Traducido por Google) Un equipo muy amable y sonriente para una gran comida. Si quieres descubrir los baos, no lo dudes (Original) Une équipe très sympathique et souriante pour un super repas. Si vous voulez découvrir les baos, n’hésitez pas

GEHT NICHT hierin, wenn Ihr das richtige Dim Sum von Asien kennt. Ihr werdet enttäuscht sein. Ausserdem sind die Portionen winzig. Wir haben mit einer satten Rechnung hungrig das Restaurant verlassen. Nie mehr!

Restaurant qui vaut la peine à Genève! D’abord le restaurant en lui même est très sympathique. La décoration est très belle et le service est très bien. Pour ce qui est du menu il offre 3 types de Dim Sum different avec plusieurs possibilités pour chaque. J’ai goûté un Dim Sum de chaque catégories et ils était tous délicieux. Les Dim Sum plus « traditionnel » sont d’excellente qualité et la brioche fourré était une agréable découverte. Ce sont de loin les meilleurs ravioli à la vapeur de Genève.Allez y vous ne serez pas déçu!

(Traducido por Google) ¡Gran servicio! (Original) Great service!

(Traducido por Google) Bien, pero la relación cantidad / precio es un poco baja. (Original) Good, but the quantity/price ratio is a bit low.

(Traducido por Google) Bueno, pero tienes que gustarle la comida muy saludable. (Original) Bien mais il faut aimer la nourriture très healthy.

Les meilleurs dim sum de la place à Genève. Aussi bons que ceux que l'on trouve en Asie. ils font également a emporter congelés pour les garder au congélateur

(Traducido por Google) Comida increíble, buen ambiente! Recomiendo encarecidamente el cerdo xiao long bao (Original) Amazing food, great atmosphere! Highly recommend the pork xiao long bao

(Traducido por Google) ¡Un lugar maravilloso con un gran equipo! ¡Disfrutamos y volvemos! (Original) Un magnifique lieu avec une super équipe ! On se régale et on revient !

(Traducido por Google) ¡Muy bueno! (Original) Très bon!

Réouverture de l'ancienne Brasserie Genevoise avec un nouvelle enseigne nouveau décor et nouvelle cuisine.Décor lumineux, service professionnels et bonne cuisine.le Baozi poulet caramélisé est particulièrement savoureux.un seul petit défaut la farce des Baozi est parfois mal répartie.Le choix des boissons est très éclectique du Prosecco au Saké et à mon avis le prix des vins au verres est trop élevé et incites à prendre la bouteille, à midi c'est pas recommandé ;-)

Très belle découverte !Toutes sortes de raviolis à la vapeurs.Mérite de se laisser tenter. On reviendra essayer d’autres raviolis !

(Traducido por Google) Albóndigas increíbles, servidores increíbles, muy amables y serviciales. Definitivamente volveremos. (Original) Amazing dumplings, amazing servers, very friendly and helpful. Will definitely come back.

(Traducido por Google) Tenía el mejor camarero absoluto que explicó el menú en su encantador frenglish y nos entregó algunos deliciosos bollos. No soy un experto, pero estos dieron en el clavo. (Original) Had the absolute best waiter who explained the menu in his charming frenglish and delivered us some delicious buns. I'm no expert but these hit the spot.

(Traducido por Google) Excelentes platos! Excelentes opciones! Excelente ambiente y excelente servicio de Sasha !! Volveremos (Original) Excellents plats ! Excellents choix! Excellente atmosphère et excellent service de Sasha!! On reviendra.

(Traducido por Google) Las mejores albóndigas de la ciudad! El restaurante ofrece una selección de albóndigas (dim sums, bao y xia long bao) que son simplemente las mejores que tuve en Europa. La configuración es excelente, el personal es muy amable y están abiertos los fines de semana. Fuimos a pasar una agradable noche en pareja y realmente nos hicieron sentir como en casa. Recomiendo encarecidamente las sumas débiles de Nutella y el cerdo xia long bao. También tienen una gran selección de vinos locales y nos hicieron descubrir sakes fantásticos. ¡No te lo pierdas! (Original) Best dumplings in town! The restaurant offers a selection of dumplings (dim sums, bao and xia long bao) that are simply the best I had in Europe. The set-up is great, the staff very friendly, and they are opened on weekends! We went for a nice evening as a couple and they really made us feel like at home. I highly recommend the Nutella dim sums and the pork xia long bao. They also have a great selection of local wines and they made us discover fantastic sakes. Don't miss it!

Excellent plats à vapeur avec beaucoup de goût.Très bon accueilJ'y retournerais encore et encore!!!!!Il nous manquait un restaurant comme ceci dans le quartier. TOP

Excellente adresse!Ouvert tous les jours, au cœur de Genève avec un parking juste à côté. Cuisine à la vapeur, saine et savoureuse! Accueil chaleureux et agréable. Et pour le petit détail qui fait toute la différence: pas d’odeur de cuisine sur les vêtements et les cheveux en partant ;)
