First time in Aruba and it has been a LONG day. Went to the Super Foods for some breakfast things and the fleeting thought of grabbing dinner at the cafe inside. The family said no and next thing I know, I'm sitting in the parking lot with a very tired and hungry child. Quick look up of places near by that were open and decent ratings, I came across Pokebao Kitchen. Though limited reviews, I will say it was a fantastic choice!

First time in Aruba and it has been a LONG day. Went to the Super Foods for some breakfast things and the fleeting thought of grabbing dinner at the cafe inside. The family said no and next thing I know, I'm sitting in the parking lot with a very tired and hungry child. Quick look up of places near by that were open and decent ratings, I came across Pokebao Kitchen. Though limited reviews, I will say it was a fantastic choice! I will note, they were understaffed, working out kinks since being open for a month, but busy nonetheless. I called in my order; signature #3, #5, and the chef special. Since coordinating with family, I grabbed some baos, gyoza and shumai. It took a little bit but near closing time so I cant fault them for that. I spoke with the, I think owner, and reported back my kids approved of the bao and gyoza. Finally getting to where we were staying, I had so much food and everything was delicious. They ran out of rice so subbed for chow mein. The flavor was good but a little tough. Everything else was cooked perfectly, plentiful and we now have a mound of leftovers. Shumai were big meatball mounds Gyoza delicious and crispy Charsiu was tender and sweet Roast pork was crisp and delish Teriyaki chicken was also crisp and delish. Was given a order of sweet and sour chicken someone didnt pick up. That was tasty crisp, not overly sweet sauced chicken chunks. Not the foam chicken either. May go back before we leave but need to eat through everything. Would definitely recommend!

We found Poke Bao Kitchen on Google and decided to try them for our last night before heading home. I read previous reviews and they commented on how flavorful the food was and how large the portions were and the prices looked very reasonable. They are located directly behind the Super Food Grocery so it was very convenient and close to our timeshare. The young woman who took my order and handled the transaction was super friendly & efficient. It's a small place that is take out only - they had ice cream there too. They only had one chair in the front for people waiting on their order, so maybe adding a few more chairs would be nice for others waiting. The food orders were indeed plentiful & very delicious. We would DEFINITELY go back!

Not only the best food I had, but also the least expensive! Great if you are very hungry as the portions are generous despite being quite inexpensive. The bao is incredible and so are the desserts! I went several times during my trip to Aruba, ordered a variety of items, and was never disappointed. Great service and kind people there as well. Can’t recommend enough!
