The story behind bao nine.
Founded by brothers Kyle and Jacob Billig, who previously developed the Sweet Charlie’s rolled ice cream shops, Bao Nine represents their venture into savory cuisine. They envisioned a fast-casual eatery centered around steamed gua buns, drawing inspiration from their love for bao and desire to offer innovative flavor combinations. Their goal was to create a dining experience that would reflect and inspire their Philly neighbors from all around the world.
