Customer Reviews
The food was so delicious! Staff were very friendly and gave a generous free sample to each of us. They apologized a lot for a short wait for the fried rice to be made fresh (less than 10 minutes). Which was no issue, and it was great that they prepare it fresh. It was worth the wait. All of the bao options were great, and the sourdough breading made them especially good. The standout item for us was the beef stew. It’s a must order, perfectly seasoned and tender. Will definitely be back for more 😊
First time trying out and was very happy I decided to try out the food! Very tasty baos, tried most of the flavors and all very good. Will definitely be back soon to try out the stews and other menu items. If you are debating on whether to try them, let me tell you to go try it. You will be happy you did
These are the best bao I have had. The dipping sauce is subtle and amazing. They would be an instant hit in another location. Please, if you are reasonably close, go and get some to go. Suggest getting one steamed there to confirm they are wonderful and getting the rest to steam at home. You won't regret it.
THE BAO IS DELICIOUS! I doubted my brothers excitement coming to try out this joint but wow, the bao is soft and delicious on the inside for whatever meat (or veggie) you choose! Definitely going to be a regular there from now on
We stumbled upon this place pretty randomly while grabbing gas next door, and were pleasantly surprised! Really delicious, healthy and cheap baos, freshly steamed. The owners are the loveliest people too!
