Jess NaldoApril 4, 2015Noticed the sweet jams over the speaker system and I knew we were in for a treat. Can't go wrong w/ the special fries or boba! Buns are a bit oily but hearty and delicious nonetheless. No diets here!
Lori LuoOctober 2, 2014Creative takes on the Chinese bao, such as the O.G. (pork belly) and Baogolgi, are the focus of the menu, but don't look over the excellent Braised Beef Scallion Pancake Wrap.
Michael SteigmanMarch 29, 2014For my first visit I ordered 5 of the 6 Baos (skipped the tofo) all of them came out quickly and were amazing, they even cut them all in half for my friend and I. I will definitely be back.
Elvis RodricksJuly 25, 2015Had the chicken fried (crispy and tender) and pork belly bao (juicy and succulent). Definitely a spot to crave your bao!
Stephanie P.March 22, 2014Omggggg!! Newnessss!!! BAOS!!! Really awesome menu that includes BRISKET and PULLED PORK!! Yaaaasss!!! Keep in mind they are cash only so come prepared :).
Audrey Christensen-TsaiJanuary 12, 2015Quick and tasty! Love the bao --favorite is the popcorn shrimp--good fries and bubble tea.
Gabriel VelezMay 8, 2014The OG Bao rocks - melts in your mouth! Also those Philly Cheesesteak Scallion rolls are killer!
Very busy during their grand opening week. It's a bit of a wait to get your order. So far my food was yummy!
Brian TaylorSeptember 17, 2014Great food here! Wish they served beer, which would go so well with the food!
Damon M.August 14, 2014I don't eat potatoes, but I'll make an exception for the baozilla and curry fries. Nom nom good!
Great food. Great service. Will definitely be a frequent haunt for me.
Couldn't decide on what to get so I ordered 1, 2, 3, 5 & 6. 4 didn't have meat so no thanks. Brisket, Bulgogi and pulled pork were off the chizain!!!
HarrisMarch 23, 2014Took 35 minutes to get what's supposed to be fast food. Pulled pork was good, chicken was hard, steak was okay. All of the buns immediately broke. Bubble tea was incredibly watery.
