Nathalie Wu had lived in Florida for more than 14 years while her husband Thomas has worked as a top chef at many restaurants. When Thomas passed away, Nathalie not only wanted to stay in Florida, she wanted to own her own restaurant.
After taking a two-year college course in business management, Wu purchased a defunct restaurant and named it Wicked Bao.
Bao is the Chinese word for a bun and it is common street food in many Asian countries. Wu wanted to bring the flavors of her native Taiwan to America.
Although the restaurant has only been in business for 5 years, it has topped Yelp and other review sites’T lists of “favorite restaurants in Florida “every year since its opening.
The basic menu doesn’t change but the chef’s specials change seasonally.
In March 2022, Wicked Bao was awarded a federal grant to help Wu keep employees during the Covid pandemic.
Wicked Bao maintains a corporate office in Fernandina Beach, Florida.
