A Cambridge restaurant that had originally planned to expand to a number of locations has quietly shut down.
According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page and a tweet from @deedubya, Tom's BaoBao in Harvard Square is closed for good, with a recent Facebook comment from the place (which was buried in a months-old post) confirming this. The dining spot, which was located within the Crimson Galleria and which featured steamed buns, was started by Tom Tong, who founded the Chinese bao company GanQiShi and whose blog called him "part CEO, part tea expert, part international man of mystery."
It was originally reported that 30 locations of Tom's BaoBao had been planned for the Northeast, but only one other outlet ended up opening--in Providence--and that location has since closed.
The address for Tom's BaoBao was 84 Winthrop Street, Cambridge, MA, 02138.

Tom's BaoBao Is Opening in Cambridge's Harvard Square
A new Chinese dining spot featuring steamed buns is coming to one of the busiest parts of Cambridge, and the person behind it plans to open more locations in the region along with a food truck.
Eater Boston is reporting that Tom's BaoBao is planning to open within the Crimson Galleria in Harvard Square, with a second location and a food truck also apparently coming to the Boston area in the spring of 2016. According to EB, 30 locations of the fast-casual eatery are planned for the Northeast over the next five years, and the flagship for the upcoming chain will be the Harvard Square location.
The creator of the Tom's BaoBao concept is Tom Tong, who founded the Chinese bao company GanQiShi along with several other companies; the blog for Tom's BaoBao calls Tong "part CEO, part tea expert, part international man of mystery."
The address for this new dining spot in Harvard Square is: Tom's BaoBao, 84 Winthrop Street, Cambridge, MA, 02138.
[April 20, 2016 update: A Facebook post from the restaurant indicates that Tom's BaoBao plans to open in Harvard Square in early June.]
[July 7, 2016 update: A new article from Eater Boston says that Tom's BaoBao opens July 12.]
