I got 3 baos, the boa bun, the shrimp bun, and a limited edition sticky chicken bun. The boa bun is great - a giant piece of tender short rib with a creamy sauce. Sticky chicken bun is reminiscent of the korean style fried chicken with a heavy glaze. Also great. Shrimp bun was also good.

We decided to get 6 different types of buns and taste test them. They were all pretty light in flavor and nothing really caught our attention. Except the one on the bottom right of my picture, I think it was the Hot Motha Clucka!! I could prob eat one of those every day haha. Definitely would stop by just to get that one because it had the perfect amount of sauce, flavor and great chicken to bun ratio!

Food is consistent and tasty. My only complaint is that the fried buns dessert tasted like it was fried in the same oil as the brussels sprouts.

AMAZING buns with an interesting asian fusion theme! I love their ambitious takes on traditional bao buns, adding nontraditional meats and veggies. I don't usually do deliver order but I tried it once and was pleasantly surprised. I got five different buns. The Crispy Chick is a highly recommended fried chicken bun with coleslaw! Wish the chicken was more crispy and there was more sauce but overall decent. The Gringo was pretty plain in my opinion w/ chicken- wish it was spicier- but lacks in comparison to the fried chic... read more

Delicious food at a very reasonable price. We've been there twice and were happy each time.

Loved the concept and casual atmosphere of the place! The baos were fluffy and slightly sweet! Loved the fried chicken and short ribs bao the best!

Excellent Food! Excellent Atmosphere! A diamond in the heart of center city! Not too much of a fan on the parking (either at the outside parking lot by Rittenhouse or a garage up the street. However, in my opinion, the attendance is worth it if you spend your day in the center city area and find a good place to park for the duration.
