Bao Bao Dumpling House in Brunswick, Maine, Permanently Closing

A recognizable name in the Portland, Maine, food scene is about to disappear.

At the time, Bao Bao Dumpling House said the move was necessary because of staffing shortages.

Just over a year since that announcement, Bao Bao Dumpling House is now closing for good, being absorbed into another restaurant concept.
