Mao's Bao is described as an all-time-favorite Smorgasburg vendor, with one reviewer noting "the very long line was intriguing" when trying the bao at the market (themugsusa.com), pointing to sustained crowd interest at its Smorgasburg stall specifically.
Reviews on the same page note the vendor also runs a separate Chelsea Market location at a lower price point ($12 for 6 vs. $15 for 6 at Smorgasburg), suggesting the Smorgasburg line and pricing reflect the market's event-day demand rather than everyday retail traffic (themugsusa.com).
