Jack's Bao
Jack's Bao is a fast-casual Shanghainese restaurant on Cannery Row known for its large, pillowy bao and noodle soups—both meat and vegan options are available. The dining area is spacious and clean, suitable for takeout or dine-in, with friendly service noted by many patrons. While the pork bao and spicy noodle soups are popular, vegan items like the veggie bao, mushroom noodle soup, and red bean bao provide plant-based choices, though vegan labeling could be clearer.
