Yummy!!! Five stars!!!

I had the Sichuan veggie dumplings. They were excellent. We are staying here 3 days but we will be back. This is homemade food. The owner greets you and explains the options. The staff is so friendly. Highly recommend.

Cleverly Disguised Tourist Trap

Everything was lacking.
Fried green beans - no breading of any kind. Tasted oil poached and served dressed with a mayo sauce.
Dumplings - first batch came out with every dumpling stuck together and busted open. They also color the dough an unappetizing green but only in a couple spots. Served with some sort of ponzu that tasted store bought.
Dan Dan Noodles - no sauce just dressed in oil that might have had some chili in it. If you’ve had Dan Dan elsewhere you would agree this was not Dan Dan.
Tofu Bao - uninspired. Fried tofu, a couple shreds of pickled carrot and sweet Thai chili sauce.
Also caught a glimpse of a kitchen staff member who looked visibly sad. If I was serving this food, I’d be sad too.

Pros: Food was hot, Building was cool, Friendly staff

Pleasantly surprised!

We arrived around 6:00pm for dinner to find a line out the door! After about 20 minutes in line, they took our order and payment at the hostess stand and then sat us immediately inside. (They also have outside tables and heaters.) Fortunately, the staff was friendly and efficient but since they were taking orders quickly, I didn’t want to ask a lot of questions and just got the Indian curry. It was very good and they did an excellent job considering how crazy busy they were! Food did come out slowly and spaced out though.

Pros: Friendly service , Good food , Inside & outside seating

Cons: We had a long wait to order and to receive food

Vegan galore - just ask!

Annoyed that HC won’t let me give this a 5 when there are more vegan options than a vegan restaurant! It’s a 10!!! Sadly, the baos are NOT vegan. (I see some reviews or vegans saying they ate them). All (even tofu) contain milk. But, there are PLENTY of other VEGAN options. So many we over ordered! The owner was a doll. Came and helped us with the menu. Delicious delicious delicious!!!! Literally the best vegan meal I have had since I became vegan. And not a bother to the restaurant at all! They totally get it.

Get in there and don’t forget the veggie dumplings, the Indian curry, the roti (omg - I am dreaming about this - get it!!!). Dan Dan noodles were good but outshined by everything else. Sautéed veggies for a side. Full, satisfied and want to come back every night!

Wish I could give 5 stars!

So so good! We ended up having dinner both nights we were in Amelia Island because it was THAT good! Plus the restaurant itself was pretty cute and great service.

Tons of great options

The hostess walked me through everything that could be made vegan - ended up being close to 7 or 8 items on the menu!

Amazing restaurant!

We were so blown away by everything at this restaurant. The location is really unassuming, you walk down this long street towards construction sites and warehouses. Once we arrived this lovely woman, the restaurant owner, opened the doors and welcomed us inside. She was so friendly and welcoming. It’s funny to say but we literally felt like special guests. She asked how we heard about them and we told her happy cow and she then went through the entire menu and pointed out each vegan option and the ones that need ingredient swaps. The food literally started arriving to the table within 2 minutes of sitting down at the table. The food was fresh, hot, sooo delicious. Truly some of the best Asian cuisine I have ever had. Very clean, lots of space. Patio has great vibes. Such a gem.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Incredibly friendly staff , Fast service

Cons: No vegan bao buns available

Delicious!!!

There are quite a few vegan options to choose from. We love the rice tots and veggie dumplings to start. The Dan Dan noodles with tofu as the protein is awesome. The baos with crispy tofu are also really good. There are other vegan/vegetarian options, as well.

Pros: Lots of vegan/vegetarian options , Food is delicious , Customer service is always great

Amazing food! Great atmosphere!

I had the Indian curry veggies rice with sautéed tofu. Amazing! Spicy but not uncomfortable. Nice serving size, not overwhelming. Restaurant offers outside seating. Overall great experience, highly recommend!
I would have given five stars if the app would allow it.

Flavorful Experience

We ordered the Szechuan dumplings, roti canai, tofu boa, and the Vegan’s Delight. Everything was amazingly flavorful, however my least favorite was probably the Szechuan dumplings because of the sauce it comes with, would be better with a different dumpling sauce. Will definitely come back to!!!

Pros: Good atmosphere , Vegan options , Trendy

This place is a BLESSING

I just finished a huge meal from Wicked Bao. I’m so happy I could cry. I’ve been in quarantine with my parents in Fernandina for two months now cooking every meal for myself and finally got to get vegan take out!!! I ordered one of everything vegan and this meal made my night!

Highly recommend the Szechuan dumplings (so good) and roti as a starter, followed by the vegans delight. The veggies are super flavorful and the seared tofu is tasty too! Also the food leaves you full without feeling icky. The best!
The curry is delicious too!! it brought me back to some of my travels pre- covid. It really made me happy.
So grateful this place exists.

Pros: Amazing Food, Friendly Staff, Very Accommodating

The Best Restaurant In Town!!

They have the most vegan options on the island, along with having the best service! The owner is an absolute sweetheart and takes so much pride in her food. We love to order lots of different things and eat way too much here! Another great part is that if you finish eating and you want to have another plate, you can order it and not wait! Their food comes out so fresh and hot and extremely fast!

They are extremely accommodating to vegans and each server is very well educated on which plates are vegan and which ones are not.

Here are my favorites:
-Dan Dan Noodles (substituted with rice noodles)
-Corn (this is like no other corn you’ve ever had!!)
-Veggie Pot Stickers
-Crispy Tofu (this one is fried and they fry everything, including meat in the same oil)

Pros: So many options , Delicious , Great service

Exceeds expectations

This place is amazing. The owner greeted us at the door and told us which options were vegan and how to veganize other menu items. They have A LOT of vegetarian and vegan options. You order with the hostess and then take a number and have a seat.

We had the dan dan noodles with vegan noodles instead of egg noodles. Absolutely fantastic. Shitaake mushrooms, snow peas, and noodles in a delicious szechuan five spice sauce. It was simple and worth raving about.

We also had the vegetable curry which was spicy but not uncomfortably spicy. It's a yellow coconut curry with chickpeas, carrots, and onions. Very good and comes vegan straight off the menu.

We also had the veggie potstickers which are already vegan straight off the menu and very straightforward.

The service is SUPER FAST. The owner is incredibly sweet. Definitely worth checking out if you're on Amelia island.

Pros: So many vegan and vegetarian options, Very accommodating , Quick service
