Easy in, easy out. Good value. The food is impeccable. Great stop for a quick dinner or for a pick up and go lunch.

Food was absolutely delicious! My company ordered a variety of bao buns for lunch and they were a big hit with everyone! I tried the Garbaonzo and the Yenta. Both delicious, filling and flavorful. Some folks mentioned Prime Time was just okay. The side dishes are also something people should not skip out on. I loved the shishito peppers, spicy crunchy cucumbers and Brussels sprouts. All sides deserve a strong 10/10. I will definitely be back and highly recommend getting these catered!

Great tiny spot for fabulous quick Bao buns. Three of us order different kinds and all were delicious! Definitely will be back next time I'm in the area. Service is fast. Space is sparse and neutral but okay for casual fast food.

Great bao place. They only had two vegetarian flavors one is falafel and vegan. Vegan is not on their menu on the wall. The staff was great and place has ample seating.

A clean, non descript spot for quick service bao. I wanted to try a few so I ordered the threesome (which really is about the same price as ordering 3 separately anyways). All of them had plenty of filling - enough that after one bite each of the buns split dropping all the ingredients out. The sticky chicky was good flavor and two pieces of chicken - I would order again. The crispy chick was my favorite even though there was only one piece of chicken in it. I wouldn't order the bang bang again, the breading on the shrimp w... read more

I walk past this place all the time and finally decided to pop in. A nice light lunch treat mid day. I opted for the Threesome which feels like a good deal considering the variety of bites. Got The Hot Motha Clucka, The Crispy Chick, and last but not least The Bang Bang. Each one was better than the last, but you really can't go wrong here. It's a dine in or to go spot. Service was great. The buns came out fast. Again great for lunch.

What a great concept and such delicious food! Stumbled upon this place as we were in the area looking for a snack. We had the sticky chicky, bao boa, and bang bang. The baos may be small but are packed with flavor. We were pleasantly surprised. The taro chips and Brussels sprouts were addictive too. I'd definitely return!
